Chapter 429 Doctor Qian, when are we going to have a baby?
"Mom, it's delicious!" Xuan Ge'er licked his lips in satisfaction and raised the empty bowl to indicate that he wanted another bowl.
"That's enough. If you drink too much, your stomach will be full." Chu Ruohan gently touched her son's head.
At this moment, Yuling walked in quickly and bowed respectfully: "Madam, the second young lady is here."
Chu Ruohan's eyes lit up: "Let Yueshu come over."
Little Qingchen finished her feeding and burped contentedly. The nurse patted her back gently, soothing her to sleep. Chu Yueshu walked slowly into the room, dressed in a lavender dress. Her face looked slightly tired, but she couldn't hide the joy between her brows.
"Sister." Chu Yueshu called out, her eyes falling on Xiao Qingchen, her eyes full of love.
"Yueshu is here, come and sit down." Chu Ruohan took her sister's hand and sat down, and asked with concern, "Why do you look so bad?"
Chu Yueshu pursed her lips, walked to Xiao Qingchen, and gently teased her little niece: "Xiao Qingchen is so cute, she looks more and more like her brother-in-law."
Chu Ruohan smiled, and seeing her hesitant look, she couldn't help but ask, "Yue Shu, what's the matter?"
Chu Yueshu's cheeks flushed, and her fingers twisted the corners of her clothes unconsciously: "I didn't have my period this month."
Chu Ruohan was stunned for a moment, then a look of joy appeared on her face. She excitedly grabbed her sister's hand and asked, "Are you pregnant?"
Chu Yueshu blushed even more, and smiled shyly: "I don't know yet."
Chu Ruohan turned around and told Yuling, "Go and get Doctor Qian over here."
Yuling responded and left. Not long after, Doctor Qian came in, accompanied by Song Ruyan.
During this period, the two were inseparable, and everyone in the mansion had long been accustomed to it.
"Doctor Qian," Chu Ruohan called, "Can you please take a look at my sister?"
Doctor Qian nodded, his expression professional: "Second Miss, please take a seat. I will take your pulse."
Chu Yueshu sat down, stretched out her wrist, and Doctor Qian pressed it gently, closing her eyes and concentrating.
The room fell silent for a moment, even Xuan Ge'er stared at Doctor Qian curiously, not daring to make a sound.
After a moment, Doctor Qian withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Second Miss, you are indeed pregnant, and it has been more than a month."
"Really?" Chu Yueshu covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes slightly red.
Allen Chu clapped her hands happily: "That's great!"
"Congratulations, Second Miss!" Yuling congratulated with a smile.
A hint of envy flashed in Song Ruyan's eyes.
Chu Ruohan held her sister's hand, her expression becoming serious: "Yueshu, you have to be extra careful at this time. The first three months are the most critical..."
"Don't overwork yourself, don't catch a cold, and be extra careful with your diet. Don't be careless."
Chu Ruohan instructed carefully, her eyes full of concern, "You must listen to Doctor Qian's instructions. You can't eat raw, cold, or spicy food, and don't lift heavy objects."
Chu Ruohan thought for a moment and added, "I'll ask mother to send a few more experienced maids to take care of you. Mother will definitely be happy when she knows."
Chu Yueshu nodded, a happy smile on her face: "Well, sister, let's keep it a secret from Yingqing for now. I want to tell him in person tonight."
"Okay, I'll keep this surprise for you." Chu Ruohan patted her sister's hand gently.
Song Ruyan suddenly interrupted, looking at Doctor Qian with burning eyes: "We're about to have a baby, Doctor Qian, when are we going to have one?"
Doctor Qian was so startled by this sudden question that he staggered and almost fell, and his face turned red.
"We're not married yet!"
"Oh, let's do it tonight!" Song Ruyan said surprisingly, and her expression was as natural as if she was talking about what to eat tonight.
Chu Ruohan and Chu Yueshu looked at each other and couldn't help laughing, almost laughing out loud.
Even Xuan Ge'er was giggling, although he didn't understand what the adults were laughing at.
Doctor Qian was so embarrassed that his head almost hit the ground, and his voice became stammering: "This matter must be brought up by the man first."
"Okay, go ahead and pick it up!" Song Ruyan crossed her arms, looking as if it was a matter of course.
Doctor Qian was speechless for a moment and could only stand there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
Chu Ruohan couldn't bear it any longer, so she stood up, pulled Song Ruyan over, and whispered, "Ruyan, getting married is not that simple. First, the man has to propose, then both parents have to agree, then they have to match their horoscopes, choose an auspicious date, give the betrothal gifts, and prepare the dowry..."
She patiently explained to Song Ruyan the complicated details of a woman's marriage.
Song Ruyan frowned, her eyes filled with impatience. "Is it so troublesome?"
"This is a man's respect for a woman. Etiquette cannot be abandoned." Chu Ruohan explained in a gentle voice, "Marriage is a serious matter, not a joke."
Song Ruyan curled her lips, obviously not satisfied with this set of red tape, but still nodded reluctantly: "Okay."
She turned to look at Doctor Qian, whose face was still flushed, and pointed at him: "Hurry up, I'll wait."
Doctor Qian took a deep breath, mustered up his courage and nodded: "Well, okay."
Chu Ruohan and Chu Yueshu smiled at each other. Song Ruyan's straightforward personality always brought a lot of joy to people.
Chu Yueshu watched the interaction between Song Ruyan and Doctor Qian, and suddenly thought of something. She turned to Chu Ruohan and whispered, "Sister, Yuling is not young anymore, and Miss Song is about to get married."
Chu Ruohan turned her gaze to Yuling who was standing beside her and carefully looked at her personal maid.
Yuling has followed her for many years, never complained, and is loyal to her.
Indeed, Yuling is no longer young and it is time for her to consider marriage.
"Indeed, Yuling is already eighteen years old, and it's time for her to consider her lifelong affairs." Chu Ruohan nodded and said seriously.
Yuling, who was standing by, heard the conversation between her masters and her cheeks suddenly turned red. She lowered her head and dared not look at anyone.
She twisted the corners of her clothes with her hands and seemed a little nervous.
"Yuling, do you have someone you like?" Chu Ruohan asked gently.
Yuling quickly shook her head, her voice as thin as a mosquito: "No, no, ma'am."
Chu Yueshu smiled and said, "Are you shy? Don't worry, my sister and I will find a good family for you."
Yuling suddenly raised her head, with a bit of earnestness in her eyes: "Madam, I don't want to get married."
Chu Ruohan was slightly startled: "Why?"
Yuling's face turned even redder, but her tone was very firm: "This servant wants to stay by Madam's side and serve her forever. This servant, this servant, has no father or mother. It was Madam who raised this servant and taught her how to read and write."
"I just want to stay with the Madam and help the young master and young lady grow up."
As she spoke, Yuling's eyes became moist.
The room fell silent for a moment. Chu Ruohan looked at Yuling, feeling deeply moved.
This maid who has been with her for many years has long become more like a family member than just a master and servant.
Song Ruyan couldn't bear it any longer and said carelessly, "Yuling, your idea is wrong."
"You can't live your life alone. Don't you want to have your own family and your own children?"
Yuling lowered her head and did not answer.
