Madam Xiao was so happy that she didn't know what to say. The old Duke smiled and pulled Madam Xiao to sit down. Then he reached out and patted her on the back and said, "Don't get excited. The baby isn't settled yet. The most important thing now is to take good care of Xiao Qiu."
Mrs. Xiao couldn't stop laughing, and said while laughing: "Yes, yes, I still have a lot to do." Then she forced herself to take a deep breath and calmed down.
Then he began to make arrangements, saying, "Xiao Qiu, you will live in Rongwei Hall from now on. I'll have someone clean up the yard behind. I have to watch over you all the time and take good care of you. I can't let you make any mistakes. Also..."
"Oh, oh, oh, grandma, you locked up my wife as soon as you made the arrangement? No, no, no, I have to stay with my wife, I can't live without seeing her!" When Ye Chen heard that Madam Xiao wanted to take Chen Qiu to Rongwei Hall, he immediately refused to do so.
Chen Qiu looked at the old lady so excited, and felt a little amused. The old Duke also smiled at his old partner, which was even happier than when the eldest princess was pregnant with Ye Chen.
Chen Qiu was afraid that if Madam Xiao continued to get so excited, something might happen, so he patted her on the back and said, "Grandma, don't worry. I'm in good health and a martial artist. It's just a pregnancy, right? I don't need anything in this family, so it's fine."
Ye Chen also said: "Grandma, this is Qiu'er's first child, and there will be more children in the future. If you are like this every time, the time I spend with Qiu'er will be too little. Please have pity on me and don't lock Qiu'er up, okay?"
Madam Xiao lowered her head and thought for a moment before saying, "Well, that's true. I wasn't thoughtful enough. So, I'll give you Jin'er, a considerate girl. Let her help Mingyue and Xing'er take care of you."
"And then... Oh, Chen'er, let Aunt Hua live with you too. She has experience with pregnancies. Let her take care of Xiaoqiu."
"Also, I have to go live with you. You guys have to move back to Qiuchen Courtyard. There's plenty of space there, and I have to keep an eye on you..."
When the old Duke heard that his wife was leaving, he quickly grabbed her and said, "You can't leave me!"
Chen Qiu held his forehead and said to Madam Xiao, "Grandmother, if you continue like this, I will be deeply sinful. The child is not that delicate. You can just stay at Rongwei Hall peacefully. It's only a few steps away from Qiuchen Courtyard. Besides, I can't stay at home just because I'm pregnant, right? Don't you agree?"
Xiao Hang watched the family from the side with a wry smile. After listening to Chen Qiu's words, he continued, "Old Madam, no matter how you arrange it, it won't be as good as me making one more trip to Qiuchen Courtyard."
Madam Xiao then remembered that there was another person named Xiao Hang. She looked at Xiao Hang and said, "Yes, you are a doctor. The imperial physicians are sometimes unreliable, but you are different. You can be relied upon. From now on, Qiu'er's safety will be entrusted to you. You will also move to Qiuchen Courtyard. Yes, yes, it's settled!"
Seeing that his grandmother was a little crazy, Ye Chen looked at Xiao Hang. Xiao Hang shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either.
Ye Chen quietly walked over to Xiao Hang and said, "Grandma doesn't seem to be right. She can't be like this no matter how happy she is. Why do I feel like she can't stop?"
Xiao Hang then walked behind Xiao Taijun, took a look at her, and suddenly gave Xiao Taijun a needle in the back of her neck, and Xiao Taijun fainted.
Chen Qiu reached out to help the old lady and placed her on the couch. A little maid placed a pillow behind Xiao Madam to make her lie more comfortably.
The old Duke looked at Madam Xiao worriedly and said, "Hang'er, how is she?"
Xiao Hang bowed and said, "Don't worry, old Duke. The old lady is just too happy and emotionally agitated. Her brain can't control her body for a moment. Let her sleep and she'll be fine."
The old Duke looked at Madam Xiao leaning there and sighed, "I've let her down. She's endured so much all these years. In just a few months, I've been willing to work in the fields to marry my grandson's wife. Now the Ye family is going to have another baby, and she's so happy."
Finally, Chen Qiu and Ye Chen took Jin'er, who was with Lady Xiao, back to Nianqiu Pavilion.
Needless to say, people were delighted again when they returned to Nianqiu Pavilion.
Xiaofu lay in front of Shen Qiu's belly, and from time to time he reached out and gently rubbed Shen Qiu's belly, and asked in confusion: "Is my nephew in here? Why can't I see him?"
Shen Qiu smiled and said: "He is still very small now. He will not be born until ten months later. Then you will be able to see him."
Mingyue laughed and said, "It's behind my belly now, so of course I can't see it!"
Xiaofu squatted in front of Shen Qiu, looked at Ye Chen and then at Shen Qiu, and said: “How did my brother-in-law put the little nephew in my sister’s belly?”
She tilted her head again, tapped her mouth with her finger, and said, "Can I let my brother-in-law put his nephew in my body and let me take my place?"
Instantly, everyone in the room was at a loss for words. It was Jin'er who first reacted and stepped forward to say, "This little girl Xiaofu is worried about Madam and wants to suffer on her behalf, but she doesn't know how to say it. It's really pitiful."
Then he took Xiaofu's hand and said, "Miss Xiaofu, no one can replace the lady when she is pregnant. All we can do is take good care of her, not let her suffer before the baby is born, and ensure a smooth birth. Only after the baby is born can we help her take care of the baby. Do you understand?"
Xiaofu looked at this somewhat unfamiliar sister and asked without resistance, "Is it only when my nephew comes out that I can help you?"
Jin Er smiled and said, "Miss Xiaofu is really smart. It's like this, you like Madam very much, right?"
Xiaofu smiled and nodded vigorously, saying, "Yes, I like my sister very much."
Ye Chen heaved a long sigh of relief after hearing this, it’s all good.
In the afternoon, Ye Chen took Chen Qiu to Xiyuan, where they kowtowed to their parents to congratulate them.
When the two of them kowtowed, Aunt Hua was right behind them. When she heard what they reported, a tear rolled down her cheek.
After Ye Chen and Shen Qiu stood up, Nanny Hua spoke first: "Duke, Madam, please wait for me for a moment. I will go with you to Qiuchen Court to take care of Madam. I promised the Princess that when the Duke has a child, I will do my best to keep him safe."
Ye Chen originally wanted to comfort his parents and then discuss with Aunt Hua about taking care of Chen Qiu. Now that she had spoken herself, he nodded.
After Nanny Hua went to Qiuchen Courtyard, she naturally became the head Nanny of Qiuchen Courtyard. Although Nanny Li's words had some influence in Qiuchen Courtyard before, now that Nanny Hua came, Nanny Li only took charge of the maids of the second rank and below who were in charge of cleaning.
The kitchen is supervised by Aunt Hua herself.
Ye Chen spends four hours in the study every day, and the rest of the time he spends with Chen Qiu. Before she knew she was pregnant, Chen Qiu didn't feel anything. But since she knew she was pregnant, her appetite has become surprisingly good.
