Chapter 397 Qiao Liangdi's Invitation
Tian'er walked in front and suddenly snorted, "Son? Isn't a daughter good enough? Can you decide whether to have a son or a daughter? Without daughters, where would you be?"
She said angrily.
Alin didn't know how he had angered this young lady, even though she was fine just now.
Tian'er looked even uglier than when she came, and she walked all the way back.
Song Ci and Pei Ji hadn't finished their meal yet. Wan Xiang looked at them and asked, "Have you finished your dinner?"
A-Lin: "It's working fine. Thank you Miss Wanxiang for your concern."
Tian'er immediately walked towards a side room and slammed the door shut.
A Lin rubbed his nose and said, "Miss Wanxiang, what's wrong with this sweet girl? She suddenly got angry."
Wanxiang: "What did you say? Tian'er has a good temper and won't get angry for no reason."
He immediately told what they had just talked about, and he felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke.
He didn't do anything!
Wanxiang felt relieved and looked at him with some pity. "You don't know, everyone speculates that Tian'er's family abandoned her because she was a girl. They left her adrift and nearly died. You told her in person that you hoped to have a son, not a daughter. It touched upon something that had made her unhappy in the past, so naturally, Tian'er would be angry."
Ah Lin: "If I knew, I would definitely not tell!"
Wanxiang consoled her, "It's okay, Tian'er will forget about it in a few days."
Alin's eyes darkened and he looked at the closed door, as if thinking about something.
After dinner, Pei Ji accompanied Song Ci for a walk in the corridor. Both of them walked very slowly. Pei Ji put his arm around Song Ci's shoulders, with worry on his face.
"I'm not a porcelain doll, why are you being so cautious?"
"Walk slower and be careful. Your belly looks bigger."
"Well, my master said that my fetal position is good and I won't suffer during the birth."
When Lao Gui learned that his only disciple was pregnant, he came several times to personally take her pulse and give her medicinal herbs to stabilize the fetus and replenish her qi and blood.
He also carefully reminded her to walk more and not lie down to rest.
Move around more and it will be more convenient during delivery.
Song Ci took all these words to heart.
Although she knew medicine, it was her first time being pregnant, so she was a little nervous.
Thinking of what he learned today, Pei Ji thought about it and decided to tell Song Ci.
"Shao Rong was divorced and returned home."
Song Ci's eyes widened. "Divorce?" her voice stuttered. This was truly shocking. Nobles and powerful men didn't divorce their wives easily, so why did this father-in-law divorce Shao Rong out of the blue?
"Yes. She is dealing with you and bullying the people around you, so I will use a little trick." Pei Ji said as he raised his fingers to stroke her tender cheek.
"What did you do?"
Pei Ji smiled slightly. "When she was still young, the Shao family originally planned to marry her off to a family. They were childhood sweethearts. She hasn't forgotten her old love all these years. I tried to test her a little and asked that person to ask her out, but I didn't expect Shao Rong to take the bait. She secretly met with her former childhood sweetheart, which was beyond her rights. My father cared about his reputation, and Shao Rong's pleas for mercy were in vain, so she was divorced."
"So that's how it is." After being divorced and sent home, Shao Rong's fate would not be good, but Song Ci had no sympathy at all.
She had persecuted herself again and again, and even reached out to the people around Song Ci. She would never allow such a thing.
"Don't worry, I will protect you and your daughter." Pei Ji said confidently.
"How do you know it's a girl? Even my master can't guarantee it."
"I hope it's a girl. It would be even better if she looks as pretty as you."
"Has anyone told you, Pei Ji, that you are too greedy?"
"I know. I'm greedy and want to grow old with you and have children with you. I want all of these."
Song Ci blinked, that's not what she meant.
But Pei Ji placed her in a very important position, and she was very happy.
In this world, apart from her parents, only Pei Ji loves and respects her like this, and never changes.
She sometimes wondered what she would do if Pei Ji changed.
The answer is, nothing much.
She thought she would leave gracefully, leaving their memories here. She loved beauty, but she didn't dare expect it to last forever. She was able to save her parents and her own life, and that was enough.
Pei Ji was an accident, an extra gift from God for her bravery.
Time flies and the years pass quietly, and soon it is time for Song porcelain to be produced.
Her belly was so big that it was difficult for her to turn over at night, and she often complained of back pain. Pei Ji did not rest all night and massaged her to make her feel more comfortable.
Seeing her in pain, Pei Ji felt indescribable pain in his heart.
It's said that giving birth is like going through the gates of hell. This statement may sound light, but after witnessing it all in person, Pei Ji realized the weight of every detail.
Seeing her frowning even in her sleep, Pei Ji felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
He stroked her forehead covered with broken hair, not caring that Song Ci was sleeping, and whispered softly, "After having this child, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, we will not have any more. It is enough for us to guard this child for the rest of our lives."
Song Ci wrinkled his nose, muttered something, and continued to fall into a deep sleep.
Pei Ji laughed, what kind of dream was this.
One day, Pei Ji went out.
Song Ci was bored in the room when suddenly an imperial edict came in saying that the concubine beside the prince wanted to summon Song Ci.
"Beauty? That concubine."
The nanny in front of her twitched her eyes, "It's Qiao Liangdi."
Now Qiao Yun has changed back to his real name.
"My wife is pregnant now and it's not easy for her to walk around," Wanxiang said.
"She won't give birth now, and Concubine Liang said that she has something urgent to see Madam. Madam, please come with us." The nanny's tone was very firm, and she actually asked the two maids who followed her to take action.
The two men were big and strong. Song Ci frowned and looked at them, "Okay, I'll go with you."
"Madam, no!" Tian'er said anxiously.
It was no longer her decision whether to go today. If she let the other party come by force, it might hurt the baby in her belly.
She stood up and said, "Let's go, Wanxiang, you stay."
The hand in the sleeve is extended with fingers pointing down, which is the secret signal.
Wanxiang was silent, "Yes, I understand." She had to hurry to find the master. Only when the master came could the lady escape!
The nanny sneered, "Madam, please leave quickly and don't keep Concubine Liang waiting for too long."
"Okay, let's go."
As the carriage drove along, Song Ci's face turned pale. Tian'er supported her with a worried look on her face, and glared at the nanny beside her from time to time.
"My wife is due to give birth in the next few days. If anything goes wrong, you will be held responsible!"
"I see your wife is fine! She'll be fine."
The nanny glanced at Song Ci. She worked for Qiao Liangdi, who disliked Madam Pei. Naturally, she was not happy with Song Ci, thinking it was just a childbirth, nothing to be fussy about.
