Jiang Jiuniang tried her best to cover her mouth and leave the table before she gagged. Her maidservant hurriedly followed her.
"What's wrong, Madam? Are you too tired? Should we call a doctor to take a look?"
In their haste, they forgot that his wife was a doctor.
"It's alright. Go tell the kitchen to make me some light dishes separately. I'm pregnant."
When she first arrived, she took her own pulse, and it was indeed a slippery pulse. It was worth all the extra effort she had put in that night.
"ah……"
The maid was overjoyed, but Jiang Jiuniang stopped her: "Don't make a fuss, just say I'm exhausted."
"yes!"
She couldn't tell outsiders that she was still under three months pregnant. Although she didn't believe in these things, she couldn't tolerate any accidents for the sake of her child.
She took a pill to relieve her nausea, and just as she was about to turn back, she saw Lu Baichuan rushing towards her in a panic.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
The men's and women's seats were not far apart. Just after Jiang Jiuniang left her seat, Peng Yuan hurriedly asked her maid to tell Lu Baichuan that she was too pregnant to come out with him, so it would be good for Lu Baichuan to come out and take a look.
"It's nothing, I just woke up too fast this morning and I'm too hungry now, so I feel a bit nauseous."
She didn't dare tell Lu Baichuan the truth now, afraid that the man would lose control of his emotions and shout it out at the banquet.
She's a doctor, so if she says it's nothing, then it must be nothing. Lu Baichuan didn't doubt it at all and said, "Then rest well. I'll take you back to your courtyard and have someone bring you some food. I'll keep an eye on things outside, so you don't need to worry."
"good."
Jiang Jiuniang knew that she had been busy all morning and it was not advisable to push herself, so she went back to the courtyard to rest.
Jiang Ruoya arrived shortly after, and the first thing she said as she entered was, "Jiu'er, are you pregnant?"
Facing her own mother, Jiang Jiuniang saw no need to hide anything. She nodded and said, "The pregnancy is still in its early stages, so let's not tell anyone yet."
"I know, I know! Oh my, today is truly a double celebration, may the Bodhisattva protect us!"
Jiang Ruoya clasped her hands together in a prayer-like gesture, her smile wide and beaming.
Young people are so healthy! She had just returned and was just starting to think about it when she got pregnant!
Jiang Jiuniang was also very happy and said, "It is indeed a double celebration. I found out I was pregnant at my sister's 100-day celebration. I hope to share in my sister's joy and have a little girl too!"
As she spoke, she clasped her hands together in prayer, hoping it would be a little girl!
Jiang Ruoya was both amused and exasperated: "Everyone else hopes to have a son, but you, you talk about your little daughter all the time!"
Jiang Jiuniang didn't take it to heart: "That's because they don't understand how good a little girl is!"
Jiang Ruoya couldn't help but tear up again, nodding repeatedly: "Yes, I only have two daughters, and I'm very content!"
Although she still feels some regret about not having a son, both of her daughters are God's precious gifts to her, and she loves them both.
Moreover, Lu Baichuan is a very good son-in-law. He always brings a lot of gifts when he comes over and calls her "Mother" all the time. So, a son-in-law is like half a son. When the little girl reaches marriageable age, she will have another son-in-law. Together, they will be considered a son.
As soon as Mrs. Sun arrived, she overheard the mother and daughter's conversation and couldn't help but exclaim in a loud voice, "Third son's wife, is she really pregnant?!"
"I knew that third brother was unreliable, saying he was too tired. You're as strong as a calf, you won't have any problems easily, so I came to see you in person. Sure enough, my little granddaughter has finally arrived!"
Mrs. Sun smiled so much that the wrinkles around her eyes gathered together. She knew that her son and daughter-in-law were hoping for a daughter. As soon as she opened her mouth, she called her little granddaughter, hoping that the child in her belly would be sensible. She said it had to be a little girl!
Just as I was laughing, I suddenly remembered how clueless my son had looked just now, and I couldn't help but feel disgusted again.
This is my second time being a father and I still have absolutely no experience!
However, when the third son's wife was pregnant with Gou'er, that brat wasn't even home. He had no experience and yet he still managed to... No, I can't understand!
When she gets back, she'll definitely give that unreliable brat a good talking-to, making sure he doesn't make a fool of himself.
Also, he wasn't by his wife's side when she was pregnant with their child, and she had to endure all the hardships and exhaustion on her own. This time, he's going to make up for all the things she missed before!
Jiang Jiuniang didn't expect her to arrive so quickly. She thought to herself that she was indeed an experienced person and knew exactly what to do in just a moment.
"Mother, it's alright. I didn't tell him because I was afraid he would act recklessly at the banquet. And I'm still in my early pregnancy, so it's not appropriate to make it public. We can talk about it privately."
Jiang Jiuniang had no worries about Ms. Sun's upbringing. This child was someone she and Lu Baichuan had been looking forward to for a long time, and it was hard not to love him.
Madam Sun naturally understood this principle and nodded, saying, "The first three months are the most important. You are a doctor and you know more than I do. Take good care of your own body. There are plenty of people to run the family business, so you don't need to worry about everything."
"I know."
Jiang Jiuniang nodded obediently. Perhaps it was rare to see her so well-behaved, so Sun Shi immediately started to act coy: "Walk properly from now on, don't jump around like that. If I see you doing that, I'll beat you!"
Jiang Ruoya knew that Sun was just joking, and laughed along. Jiang Jiuniang nodded vigorously: "I know, I know, it's annoying if you keep saying it!"
To avoid arousing suspicion, Jiang Ruoya and Madam Sun quickly went to the banquet to greet the guests. If anyone asked, they said they had gotten up too early that morning and were feeling a little unwell because they hadn't eaten anything. In short, they resolutely refused to mention the pregnancy.
So much so that Lu Baichuan didn't even consider the possibility that she was pregnant. When he got home that evening and saw that Jiang Ruoya was very worried about Jiang Jiuniang, he said, "Mom, it's okay. She just got up early this morning. She'll be fine after a good night's sleep. I'll carry her home!"
With that, he picked up Jiang Jiuniang and carried her into the carriage.
Mrs. Sun couldn't bear to watch. If it weren't for the fact that they were in front of her in-laws, she would have loved to slap her stupid son twice across the face.
Luckily, he carried the person into the car. If he had just dragged the person away, wouldn't he have been chased and beaten by his mother-in-law?
"Hehe, dear sister-in-law, please don't take offense. I'll teach him a lesson when I get back!"
Sun stayed behind and said a few words to Jiang Ruoya. Jiang Ruoya smiled and said, "It's alright. Baichuan knows what's important. I'm not worried."
A short while later, everyone got into the car and left. Jiang Jiuniang leaned against Lu Baichuan's chest, took his hand and placed it on her stomach. Just as she was about to tell him the good news, she heard him speak first: "What's going on today? Both of you are acting strangely."
He felt he hadn't done anything wrong, but today he just felt that the two of them weren't too happy with him.
Especially his mother, who would often slap him before he could finish speaking, and when asked what was wrong, she wouldn't say.
Seeing his blank expression, Jiang Jiuniang chuckled and said, "Because we're about to have a little daughter, hehehe!"
