Chapter 430 The two of them decided to go to the General's Mansion to nurture the fetus
Chu Ruohan sighed softly and took Yuling's hand: "Yuling, I know your feelings and I understand your loyalty to me. However, it is a woman's nature to get married and have children. I can't let my selfishness ruin your life."
She paused, her tone gentle yet firm: "If you can find a good family, you can not only start a family and build a career, but also continue to stay in the mansion to serve me, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"
Yuling raised her head, a little surprised: "Will this work?"
Chu Ruohan smiled: "Of course. I can't bear to part with you, but the candidate? I have to choose carefully."
Yuling lowered her head and said nothing. She was a shy girl...
"Sister, I'd better go back and rest first." Chu Yueshu stood up and said, "Yingqing will be back late today, I need to prepare well."
Chu Ruohan nodded: "Well, have a good rest. If you need anything, send someone to find me."
Chu Yueshu said goodbye and left, and Song Ruyan also took Doctor Qian out with her, saying that they wanted to "discuss the marriage" in detail.
The house returned to peace. Chu Ruohan looked at little Qingchen who was sleeping soundly in the arms of the nanny, then looked at Xuan Ge'er who was playing, and a feeling of satisfaction welled up in her heart.
"Madam, it's time to change the young lady's diaper." The nanny said softly.
Chu Ruohan nodded: "Go prepare some hot water first, I'll hold her."
She carefully took her daughter in her arms, feeling her warmth and tenderness.
Little Qingchen frowned slightly in his sleep, and his little hands unconsciously grabbed Chu Ruohan's sleeves, looking very cute.
Chu Yueshu returned home, gently stroked her belly, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.
She specifically asked the kitchen to prepare a few dishes that Yingqing liked, and ordered people to clean the house.
"Madam, everything is ready." The maid reported softly.
Chu Yueshu nodded, changed into a new light pink dress, did some simple makeup, and sat in the room waiting quietly.
As time passed, her heart beat faster and faster, with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.
Finally, familiar footsteps were heard outside the door.
"Yueshu, I'm back." Yingqing pushed the door open and walked in with a hint of tiredness on his face.
When he saw his wife sitting under the lamp, tenderness immediately welled up in his eyes.
"Yingqing." Chu Yueshu stood up to greet him and called softly, "Hurry up and wash your hands. Let's have dinner."
Ying Qing nodded, noticing that today's meal was particularly sumptuous, and couldn't help but wonder, "Is today a special day?"
Chu Yueshu smiled and didn't answer directly: "Eat first, I'll tell you after you finish eating."
The two sat down to eat, and Chu Yueshu kept picking up food for her husband, her eyes following him all the time.
Ying Qing felt a little embarrassed by her gaze and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? You keep looking at me."
"Nothing." Chu Yueshu smiled and shook her head, then poured him another bowl of soup. "Drink more to replenish your body."
After dinner, when the maids cleared away the dishes and left, Ying Qing held his wife's hand and said, "Yue Shu, you've been so mysterious today. What's the matter?"
Chu Yueshu took a deep breath, her eyes filled with joy: "Yingqing, I'm pregnant."
Ying Qing didn't react for a moment and stood there in a daze: "Pregnant? What's the meaning of pregnancy?"
"I'm pregnant. Doctor Qian confirmed it today. It's been more than a month." Chu Yueshu said softly with a slight blush on her cheeks.
"What did you say?" Ying Qing stood up suddenly and almost shouted, "You, you are pregnant?"
Chu Yueshu was startled by his reaction and nodded: "Yeah, yes."
"I, I'm going to be a father?" Ying Qing seemed unable to believe his ears. The expression on his face changed from shock to ecstasy, and he was suddenly at a loss.
"I'm a dad! I'm a dad!"
He paced around the room excitedly, not knowing what to do. He wanted to hug Chu Yueshu, but was worried about touching her belly...
Then I wanted to rush out and tell everyone the good news, but I didn't know where to start.
Chu Yueshu was amused by his appearance: "Yingqing, calm down."
"Calm down? How can I calm down?" Ying Qing knelt in front of Chu Yueshu and gently put his ear to her belly. "Yueshu, I can't hear you. Is the baby moving?"
"Silly boy, it's only been over a month, there's no movement." Chu Yueshu smiled and helped him up, "Besides, you'll be putting pressure on me like this."
Ying Qing immediately jumped away, as if she had been burned: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!"
He was at a loss like a young boy, but his eyes were surprisingly bright, full of joy and anticipation.
Suddenly, he thought of something and his expression changed: "Yueshu, you are pregnant now, you should rest well and not overwork. It's inconvenient to take care of you with only two of us here."
Chu Yueshu nodded: "I think so too. Doctor Qian said that the first three months are the most critical and we need to be extra careful."
"How about..." The two of them spoke in unison, then stopped at the same time and smiled at each other.
"You speak first." Ying Qing said.
Chu Yueshu said, "I thought it would be better to move to the General's Mansion for a while. Firstly, there's Doctor Qian here, and secondly, there's Wang Zhaodi, an experienced midwife."
"Well... I can chat with my sister and relieve my boredom."
"I thought so too!" Ying Qing slapped his thigh, "I'll pack my things right away and we'll move over right away."
"No need to be so anxious." Chu Yueshu was amused by his eagerness. "Just pack it up tomorrow morning."
"No, the sooner the better." Ying Qing had already started thinking about what to bring. "I'll go pack it now."
Chu Yueshu watched him busying around like a big kid, excited about becoming a father.
It was late at night and the two were lying in bed, but Yingqing couldn't fall asleep, her mind full of thoughts about her children.
"Yueshu, do you think it's a boy or a girl?" he asked softly.
"It's only been a month, how would I know?" Chu Yueshu turned around and faced Ying Qing. "No matter if it's a boy or a girl, it's our child."
"Yeah, everything is fine." Ying Qing carefully placed his hand on his wife's abdomen, "Our child..."
The next morning, Yingqing got up and packed her luggage.
Although the general's mansion was not far from their home, he still carefully prepared all the items Chu Yueshu might need.
"Take this with you too."
"This might be useful."
"Maybe this will be necessary."
Chu Yueshu looked at the bag that was stuffed to the brim with things and couldn't help but laugh, "Yingqing, we're not going to be back, so why bring so much?"
"It's better to bring more than less." Ying Qing said seriously, and checked again carefully to make sure nothing was missed.
"Come on, Yueshu, I'll support you."
"It's not like I can't walk." Chu Yueshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'm only pregnant for a little over a month, I'm not that delicate."
"Safety first." Ying Qing said seriously and remained unmoved.
