Before we knew it, it was Chinese New Year again, and Ni Sitian was already more than six months pregnant.
She had a prenatal checkup before the Lunar New Year, and it has now been confirmed that the baby is developing well in her womb.
She should give birth next spring, when everything comes back to life.
The process of celebrating the Lunar New Year this year was similar to that of last year. Jin Rulan recovered quite well after her miscarriage. It seemed that after going through this ordeal, the relationship between Jin Rulan and Xu Haicheng was no longer as frozen as before.
After the New Year, Xu Tingchuan became increasingly busy with work, while Ni Sitian's belly grew bigger and she began to have difficulty moving around.
Therefore, Jin Rulan was worried and asked her to stay at the mansion to rest during her pregnancy so that she could be taken care of nearby.
Xu Tingchuan had no objection to this, because he sometimes works overtime until very late, and he was worried about leaving Ni Sitian alone at home. So the couple packed their bags and moved to the mansion to stay temporarily.
Ni Qianshan's case was scheduled for trial until mid-February. Ni Sitian felt the final verdict was the lightest possible punishment for Ni Qianshan; the serious crime lay with He Cuiyun. Ni Qianshan received a ten-year sentence, while He Cuiyun received life imprisonment.
Ni Ziqi disappeared without a trace. The police searched extensively but couldn't find her. He Cuiyun took the blame for everything, so the matter was dropped.
"Sister-in-law, how is this one I knitted?" Xu Jiayue handed over the little woolen shoes she was holding.
"It's so beautiful, the baby will definitely love it." Ni Sitian glanced at it and felt ashamed. She had been knitting for so long and it was still not good enough. She had just taught Xu Jiayue the day before yesterday, and Xu Jiayue could immediately knit something even more exquisite than the ones sold in the shop window. There's really no comparison between people's intelligence.
I hope the baby in my belly will be like Xu Tingchuan, so I won't have to worry about anything when I go to school.
"Sister-in-law, what are you knitting?" Xu Jiayue asked curiously, glancing at the contents of Ni Sitian's basket.
Ni Sitian was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to bang her head against the wall. She also knitted woolen shoes, and with Xu Jiayue's stark contrast, it was really hard to tell what was wrong with hers.
"Ahem." Ni Sitian decided to change the subject, glanced at the engagement ring on Xu Jiayue's hand, and said, "You, your wedding is in early April, are you all ready?"
"There are still two months left." Xu Jiayue smiled slightly, rummaged through the sweater basket, and seemed a little absent-minded when the topic came up.
Ni Sitian had discussed a lot with her about her entanglements with Han Shizhao and Pei Yang, but there wasn't much more to say now.
During the Chinese New Year, Xu Jiayue agreed to put a wedding ring on Han Shizhao's finger, and the two families finally had a meal together to discuss the wedding date.
Xu Jiayue is an adult, even a few years older than her. Since she has made her choice, all they, as her relatives, can do is offer their blessings. As for how things will develop in the future, that's up to Xu Jiayue herself.
As for Pei Yang, Xu Tingchuan said there was nothing particularly unusual happening. On the day he found out, he even congratulated Xu Tingchuan on officially having a brother-in-law.
"By the way, has Zhi Lan been contacted?" Xu Jiayue wanted to change the subject, so she brought up this.
"No, her twins should be a month old now," Ni Sitian said, her voice filled with worry. They had agreed to contact her in three months, but she hadn't.
As the two were talking, a maid knocked on the door, came in, and handed a letter to Ni Sitian, saying, "Young Madam, this letter has no postmark, so it's in the mailbox. Your name is written on it."
