The area around Zhuangzi was quiet, with only the crackling of candles burning in the hall.
Chu Yuan paused for a moment before waving her hand, "No, I don't really like drinking ginger water, but I'm fine with stir-frying and making soup."
After she finished speaking, she seemed to realize something...
The old woman smiled and spoke for her, "Then this old servant must congratulate you, Madam. You must be pregnant, but it's still early in the pregnancy. Have you seen a doctor yet?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yuan wasn't particularly surprised, as she had experienced this many times before and had become accustomed to it.
But the antelope is different!
Chu Yuan turned to look at him, but he stared blankly at the old woman who was speaking, like a statue, with an expression that said he was hallucinating and didn't believe it, and that he wanted her to say it a second time.
But he kept pouting and wouldn't say a word.
Were you so shocked you were speechless?
The old woman was experienced and didn't find it strange. She smiled and repeated, "Young master, how about I go to the village entrance and call Doctor Ma for you?"
Although his medical skills aren't as advanced as the doctors in the city, he's the best doctor in our area for treating headaches and fevers; he can easily diagnose pregnancy.
After the old woman finished speaking, Yan Ling remained in a daze.
Chu Yuan couldn't help but nudge him, "What are you doing, looking so lost?"
"..." Yan Ling was bewildered, but then finally her senses returned. Without giving anyone a chance to react, she urged him repeatedly, "Go, go, go quickly! Do you really need to ask for permission for this kind of thing? Your Master Kang really doesn't know how to be impatient..." Blah blah blah.
Chu Yuan's eyes widened as she realized for the first time that Yan Ling could speak without panting!
The old woman was so impatient with him that her feet were practically on fire!
And no sooner had the old woman left than he grabbed his sword and hurriedly headed out, only to be stopped by Chu Yuan, who asked, "Where are you going?"
"A-Yue, don't move!" Yan Ling put down her sword again, carefully pushed Chu Yuan over and pressed her down on the soft couch, her gaze fixed on the doorway. "She's so old, her legs aren't strong enough, I'll go myself!"
Chu Yuan, "..."
Helplessly, she rolled her eyes and stopped him. "My dear Young Master Yan, it's getting late. Who are you trying to scare by making such a fuss?"
Don't forget, we've only been settled in this manor for a few days. Wouldn't it be suspicious if we suddenly became so high-profile?
"Never mind, it's not a big deal. Let that old woman handle it."
With each additional word she spoke, Yanling's expression grew increasingly incredulous.
Finally, she stood up abruptly, "Ah Yue, you're pregnant! This is no small matter!"
He couldn't understand how she could be so nonchalant.
Aren't you even a little excited about the upcoming arrival of a new life?
When Chu Yuan saw Yan Ling's serious and angry expression, she couldn't help but facepalm.
Heavens, how is she supposed to explain this?!
After hesitating for a moment, Chu Yuan felt that no explanation was as direct as action. So, he pulled Yan Ling into the inner room, took off her outer clothes, and lay her flat on the bed.
Then he spread Yan Ling's hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, letting out a soft breath, "Can you feel it?"
Yanling is a complete idiot, slow to react.
"What?"
Chu Yuan, “What you care about most, what excites you about, is your child.”
After she finished speaking, she felt Yanling's hand soften, as if she was afraid of crushing the child.
It shrank back a little, then covered her again, its feathers moving across her lower abdomen like feathers.
A moment later, she pressed her face against it, and said foolishly, "No, I didn't feel anything. Is it because I'm still in the early stages of pregnancy?"
Chu Yuan sat up with a sigh of relief. "Yeah, what else can we do? So let's not be too nervous. Let's just pretend this doesn't exist and continue doing what we need to do. Otherwise, I'll seem like I'm being dramatic."
The main problem is that I can't do this or that, it's so boring.
After all that talking, I don't know if Yanling was convinced or not. Anyway, the so-called Doctor Ma that the old woman invited took Yanling's pulse in a few seconds and then charged her a large silver note.
Chu Yuan was jealous. What a spendthrift! I should have given it to me!
Yan Mu had already gone to sleep, but Yan Ling woke him up and forced him to share the good news that he had a grandson.
Chu Yuan was both amused and exasperated.
I decided to go to sleep first and let the father and son talk and share their thoughts!
The next day, when Yan Mu was having breakfast, he suddenly disappeared.
Like Yanling, he used to practice a set of boxing moves before breakfast.
Chu Yuan asked in surprise, "Where did Dad go? I haven't seen him all morning."
"I have something to do outside."
Yan Ling placed the peeled pine nuts into the empty plate in front of Chu Yuan. Each pine nut was plump, shiny, and looked especially tempting.
Chu Yuan instinctively reached out and took the food. Since leaving the capital, he had gotten used to doing these little things for Chu Yuan, and Chu Yuan enjoyed them without any qualms.
So I didn't think much of it.
Chu Yuan thought it tasted good; it must be wild from the mountains, with a unique fragrance. After finishing her meal, she wanted more, so she tapped the rim of her bowl.
"It's delicious, peel some more. Your son wants some!"
Classic pregnancy food craving quotes, always effective.
Unexpectedly, it failed to work on the antelope.
Not only did he not peel them, but he also deliberately and quickly collected the unpeeled pine nuts from the table!
"Doctor Ma said you can only eat twenty a day, no more, no less. Be good, I'll peel some more for you tomorrow."
Chu Yuan, "..."
So getting pregnant actually means more restrictions?
Fortunately, she wasn't too greedy. She waved for someone to clear the table and continued to ask about Yan Mu's whereabouts.
Yanling stammered and dodged the question.
Chu Yuan immediately became anxious, "You don't want to tell me? Fine, I'll go see for myself!"
