Shen Zhixiu was standing at the door feeling depressed when he heard the maid's voice, "Madam, Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Zhixiu was so frightened that his mind went blank. He turned around and walked in quickly. "What's wrong?"
When I entered the house, I saw Su Qingyu squatting on the ground, holding her chest and retching, her face extremely pale.
"Someone, go and invite Mr. Zhou, quickly." Shen Zhixiu shouted in panic.
Then he squatted on the ground and supported Su Qingyu, "Qingqing, what's wrong with you?"
Su Qingyu felt a little exhausted, half leaning on him, and said, "I'm fine, it's just... it's just that the smell of the meat pie is too strong."
Shen Zhixiu supported Su Qingyu. Although he didn't know how Roubing could make people like this, he still apologized, "Blame me, it's all my fault. Let me hold you and lie on the bed first. We'll wait for Mr. Zhou to come and take your pulse."
After Su Qingyu vomited, her stomach felt much better. She thought it was okay, maybe it was because she ate too much glutinous rice at noon.
Before she could say anything, Shen Zhixiu picked her up and carried her into the bedroom.
Shen Zhixiu carefully put her on the bed, reached out and smoothed her sweat-soaked hair. Her face was so pale that it made people feel distressed.
"Would you like some water?" he asked softly, with a barely perceptible choke in his voice.
Su Qingyu felt a bitter taste in her mouth, so she nodded.
Seeing this, Zhenzhu hurriedly poured warm water over. Shen Zhixiu helped Su Qingyu up and fed her half a cup of water.
After helping Su Qingyu lie down again, Shen Zhixiu half-knelt beside the bed, held her hand and said, "Qingqing, I spoke too loudly."
"I shouldn't have yelled at you, and I shouldn't have just left. Don't be angry, it's bad for your health."
When Shen Zhixiu thought about Su Qingyu not feeling well and him making her so angry, he wanted to punch himself.
Su Qingyu looked at his self-blaming expression and felt bad. She wanted to explain, but before she could say anything, Mr. Zhou hurried in.
Shen Zhixiu hurriedly stood up and stood aside, ordered someone to bring a brocade stool to the bed, and asked Mr. Zhou to take his pulse.
After a long while, Mr. Zhou stood up with a smile on his face, "Congratulations, Third Master, congratulations, Madam, you are pregnant, it has been over a month."
Su Qingyu looked at Mr. Zhou in astonishment. She was pregnant? She subconsciously touched her belly. She was pregnant?
Shen Zhixiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then looked at Mr. Zhou in surprise, "Is what you said true? Is your wife really pregnant?"
Mr. Zhou stroked his beard and said, "I have been practicing medicine for decades, I will not be wrong."
Shen Zhixiu took two deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and asked, "Madam, is the baby okay?"
Mr. Zhou knew he was nervous, so he smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, Third Master. Madam's pregnancy is going well."
"I see that Madam has already had morning sickness. She should eat more light and easily digestible meals these days."
"Also, women in the early stages of pregnancy often feel restless or have wild thoughts. Third Master, please be more understanding and coax her more, and do your best to make your wife happy."
After hearing Mr. Zhou's words, Shen Zhixiu felt even more guilty. Qingqing was just imagining things because she was pregnant. Far from being understanding, he even lost his temper with her.
After giving his instructions, Mr. Zhou left. Feicui brought the servants from the west courtyard and knelt in the courtyard to congratulate the Third Master and his wife.
My wife is pregnant, what a joyful event.
Shen Zhixiu laughed loudly and said, "Everyone in the West Court will receive a six-month monthly allowance, and everyone in the Main Court will also receive a three-month monthly allowance."
After the servants had left, Shen Zhixiu sat down beside the bed and looked at Su Qingyu with heartache.
"Qingqing, I am wrong today."
Su Qingyu put her hand over his mouth and said, "I don't blame you. I was just imagining things because of the late queen."
The news that Su Qingyu was pregnant quickly spread throughout the Shen family.
The old lady came in person, sitting beside Su Qingyu's bed, grinning from ear to ear. Xiangdong and the second wife, Yang, also came to visit, bringing a lot of supplements.
Shen Zhixiu sent someone to deliver a letter to Prince Ning's Mansion. When Lin Wanyin got the news, she sent two large carts of things to the Shen family the next day.
Although Su Qingyu occasionally felt unwell, her morning sickness wasn't serious. Aside from being unable to eat meat, she was fine otherwise.
Two days later, it was time to go to the Fanjinlou to pick up the gold. She, Shen Yue, and Su Shunci agreed to go together.
Shen Zhixiu did not restrict her from going out, but only asked Jiang Qi to bring more people with him when he went out and to protect his wife.
Su Qingyu went to Prince Ning's Mansion to pick them up, and the three of them took a car to Fanjin Tower together.
In the carriage, Shen Yue and Su Shunci looked at Su Qingyu's belly curiously. They wanted to touch it, but they didn't dare to.
Su Qingyu smiled and said, "It's still early, I can't feel anything."
Su Shunci suddenly had an idea, "Big sister, let's go to Fanjinlou later. I have to buy some small bracelets and gold locks for my nephew."
Shen Yue also said: "Yes, I also have to buy a longevity lock for my unborn brother... or nephew."
From Shen Zhixiu's perspective, Shen Yue was her elder sister. But from Su Yuanzhou's perspective, she was her aunt. This generational distinction often confused Shen Yue.
Su Qingyu asked in confusion: "How can you be sure that I'm pregnant with a son?"
Shen Yue pursed her lips and said, "I like daughters, but I still hope that Third Aunt's baby will be a son, so that others won't say anything."
In fact, Shen Yue had another worry. Aunt San was pregnant now. Would Uncle San take a concubine? In the capital, it was not uncommon for men to bring concubines into the man's room because the wife was pregnant.
If Third Aunt had given birth to a girl, then... there would be even more people targeting Third Uncle.
Su Qingyu didn't think too much about it. She gently touched her belly. She liked both sons and daughters.
The three of them got off the carriage at the gate of Fanjin Tower. Su Shunci and Shen Yue consciously protected Su Qingyu.
When the waiter saw that the third wife of the Shen family had come in person, he served them tea and snacks, and asked them to wait while he went to get the goods.
Su Qingyu and others went to the second floor to look at jewelry. Chen Yue immediately fell in love with a longevity lock worn by a baby.
She asked the waiter to take it out, and she took it in her hands and examined it carefully. The carving of the Qilin pattern was very fine, and the workmanship was also very meticulous.
Just as I was watching seriously, a shrill voice suddenly came from behind me.
"Aren't you in mourning? And you're pregnant already? You really have no sense of shame."
