Chapter 132 Winter Pregnancy

Nanny Dou didn't want to cause any trouble when she was about to move. Otherwise, it would cause trouble for Madam Wei next door, which would delay the auspicious date.

Du Jingyi also knew what she meant, so he smiled and didn't say much.

Two days later, the sky gradually darkened.

The lights in the East Garden were gradually lit, and Shang Ji walked into the door of Xitang Courtyard with a chill.

When I came back, I didn't go straight to the main house, but went to the ear room.

He was covered in snow and dust, so he had to wash himself thoroughly. Otherwise, his hair would be too rough compared to his wife's fragrant and soft hair.

Therefore, he was washing up in the ear room, which woke up Du Jingyi who had fallen asleep.

She didn't know if it was because of winter sleepiness or because of changes in her body, but she was sleeping more and more.

Sometimes, I spend most of the day sleeping, as if I can never get enough sleep.

Upon seeing this, Nanny Dou explained that this was normal, so Du Jingyi found an excuse to go to sleep.

And no one in the entire Xitang Courtyard said anything.

After all, to the outside world, Du Jingyi was "recuperating" and there didn't seem to be anything wrong with sleeping every day.

Since returning from the Du family last month, she has not left the house and announced to the public that she was ill.

It wasn't just her. All the masters in Dongyuan had "fallen ill", one by one, and it looked as if they were infected.

The servants in the East Garden all tried to cover up the truth by keeping it a secret, but the more they did so, the more strange and suspicious it seemed to outsiders.

The first to be affected were the three people who still lived in Beiyuan, and they were extremely frightened.

After all, to be honest, in the entire Duke's Mansion, the North Garden is the closest to the East Garden.

Moreover, there are more than a dozen people in their family huddled in this place, and it is already difficult for them to even turn over.

If I were really infected by these "sickly people" in Dongyuan, wouldn't every New Year's Day be a disaster?

Therefore, I burned incense every day and begged Dongyuan to move out as soon as possible.

Maybe by then, they can use the excuse that the North Garden is too crowded and move to the East Garden.

The calculations are clever, but of no use.

On the contrary, this move made Mrs. Wei, who was already prepared to take action, more confused.

Even though we know that they are mostly faking illness, it is still hard to guess the purpose behind this.

Du Jingyi didn't have time to care about what other people were thinking at the moment.

So after getting up with sleepy eyes, he asked.

"But the General is back?"

Cherry walked over quickly when she heard the voice, stuffed a pillow behind her back, and answered respectfully.

"Well, the general is back and is washing up in the side room. I think he should be ready by now."

The generals washed and dressed so quickly that sometimes they finished before even having a cup of tea.

But although it is fast, it is also careful and serious.

Cherry has understood this clearly after serving for some time.

Sure enough, just after she brought the warm water over and gave Du Jingyi a few sips, the door of the room was pushed open, but soon closed again.

The person who walked in was Shang Ji who had already washed up.

His hair was wet, but his body was no longer as cold as when he just came back.

He looks even more heroic than he did half a month ago.

The wind and snow made the journey back and forth much more difficult. Shang Ji was afraid of delaying important business, so he had not returned for several days.

The moment Du Jingyi saw him, she was surprised at first, but then for some reason her nose suddenly felt sore and tears fell like beads from a broken string, which immediately made Shang Ji look surprised.

He walked up quickly and asked with concern.

"What's wrong? Are you sick?"

I raised my hand and touched her forehead, and found that the temperature was indeed a little high.

And isn't it time for dinner?

Why is she still lying in bed?

Du Jingyi felt very touched by his anxious look and muttered something.

"I'm not sick, I just cried and laughed these days, and I can't seem to control my emotions. But I asked Madam Dou, and she said it's normal."

Shang Ji obviously didn't believe this.

It was normal to not be able to control your emotions, and you immediately gave instructions to Cherry.

"Go and ask Doctor Guo from Bencaotang to come and examine Madam."

Cherry looked at her wife with some embarrassment. They didn't want to spread the news, so they didn't know what to do.

Seeing her dilemma, Du Jingyi pulled Shang Ji's sleeve and spoke to help Yingtao out.

"No need, it's nothing serious. Cherry, please go down first. I have something to say to the general."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Yes, Madam."

Cherry naturally knew what the young lady was going to do, so she smiled and hurried out.

The general had been exhausted from the journey and probably hadn't eaten yet, so she asked Danruo to prepare some good wine and food. Today was a good day to celebrate! Shang Ji saw her jumping steps as she left.

So I found it very strange that something seemed different when he hadn't been home for only half a month.

Looking at the lady's complexion, he couldn't say that she was in good condition, but she didn't look sick either, so after Cherry went out, he immediately asked her.

"But you're pretending to be sick again because of Mrs. Wei's matter?"

Hearing this, Du Jingyi nodded, but then shook his head, which made Shang Ji feel even more confused.

"What's the meaning?"

"It's true that I'm pretending to be sick, but it's also true that I'm not feeling well, so I'm nodding and shaking my head at the same time."

"If you're not feeling well, then you're still sick."

After saying this, he suddenly seemed to remember something and spoke immediately.

"Are you having abdominal pain? I'll ask the kitchen to bring you a bowl of brown sugar water. I heard that drinking that is good for women's menstrual problems."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi was a little shocked.

"How did the General know that?"

"I saw my third uncle personally prepare a bowl of soup for my aunt in the army before, so..."

When he talked about the Gu family this time, he did not feel as sad as before. Maybe it was because he was talking about something obscure, so he felt a little embarrassed.

However, this made Du Jingyi laugh again.

"General, you misunderstood. I am not having my period. It has been almost two months since I last had my period."

Didn’t come?

What this means is that...

The first thought that flashed through Shang Ji’s mind was that she was lacking in energy and blood, which was why this happened.

But after looking left and right, it didn't seem like it, and then I slowly came back to my senses.

His expression changed from confusion to disbelief, until he saw the smile in Du Jingyi's eyes, he was finally certain.

I swallowed a little and my tongue was a little tangled.

"Are you pregnant?"

Du Jingyi smiled and nodded, then explained.

"I felt unwell a few days ago, so I asked Madam Dou to find a reliable doctor from outside to see me. He said that I am almost two months pregnant. I wanted to report it to the general, but I was afraid that someone would make trouble, so I waited until today."
