Chapter 184: Good Luck
"What did you say? Aunt Lin fainted?"
Daohua looked at Wang Man'er in surprise, then was speechless: "She didn't choose the right time. Father has already left in the carriage. Who is she fainting for? She didn't even think about leaving earlier."
Seeing that Daohua thought Aunt Lin was pretending, Wang Man'er immediately said, "She really fainted. Her face was extremely pale. Madam has already sent for a doctor."
Daohua was stunned. "She really fainted? Why? Just because her father left in a hurry and ignored her, she fainted out of anger?" She clicked her tongue twice and said, "This girl has really been spoiled by her father and is weak and sickly. Her mental quality is quite poor!"
Seeing that her daughter was still trying to make a joke, Wang Maner was speechless. She moved her lips, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back.
Seeing her hesitant to speak, Daohua wondered, "What are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it quickly. Don't be so hesitant."
Wang Man'er hesitated and said, "Miss, when I was escorting with my father, I saw a woman faint, and then she was diagnosed with pregnancy."
As soon as these words were spoken, Daohua was stunned and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"No, no?"
Daohua felt her temples throbbing violently. Her stepfather had finally become a little cold towards the people from Shuangxinyuan, but was he going to be beaten back to his original form again?
"Let's go to the main courtyard."
Daohua couldn't sit still anymore, so she took Wang Maner and ran towards the main courtyard.
As soon as I reached the main courtyard gate, I saw Ping Xiao seeing the doctor off.
Daohua hurriedly asked, "Sister Pingxiao, is Aunt Lin okay?"
Ping Xiao looked at Daohua with a complicated expression and said, "Miss, go ask the lady yourself."
Hearing this, Daohua's heart skipped a beat. She turned and went into the yard: "Mother, what happened to Aunt Lin?"
Madam Li looked up at her daughter with a calm expression: "Congratulations, you are going to be a sister again."
"She's really pregnant?!"
Daohua's eyes suddenly widened, with an expression that was indescribable.
Seeing her emotions clearly revealed on her face, Madam Li glared at her and said, "Shut your big mouth! It's just a small matter. Is it necessary to be so surprised?"
Daohua immediately walked over to Madam Li and sat down next to her: "Mom, aren't you worried?" Her adoptive father had always favored Aunt Lin, and now that she was pregnant, she must be so proud of herself.
Madam Li said calmly: "What's the point of worrying? She is your father's concubine, and your father likes to spend the night with her." Madam Li stopped talking here. Her daughter was still young, and it was inappropriate to say such things.
Seeing that Mrs. Li suddenly stopped talking, Daohua shook her arm.
Madam Li: "Anyway, Aunt Lin's pregnancy is a good thing for the Yan family."
"But it's not the case for us." Daohua blurted out.
Madam Li quickly glanced at the people in the room. Seeing that only Pingtong and Wang Man'er were there, she relaxed and said sternly to Daohua, "It's fine if you say this to me, but don't let anyone else, including the old lady, know that."
The addition of a new child to any family is a great joyous occasion. The old lady loves her daughter, but that doesn't mean she doesn't want the Yan family to prosper.
Seeing that Mrs. Li was so serious, Daohua shrank her neck and nodded.
Madam Li sighed and patted her head. "I know you're worried about me. Don't worry. When Aunt Lin gave birth to twins, I managed to pull through. Now that you three siblings are so successful, I'm even less afraid."
The rice flowers sighed and said, "What is going on?" The days have finally calmed down, but now troubles are about to arise again.
Governor Guo hosted a banquet for officials from Zhongzhou Province to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. Xiao Yeyang was naturally present. This time, the three brothers Yan Wenxiu were also called.
As a result, this year's Dragon Boat Festival was short of half the Yan family members. In addition, Aunt Lin was pregnant, and each family had their own thoughts, so this Dragon Boat Festival was a bit lonely.
Yan Zhigao returned on the afternoon of the second day after the Dragon Boat Festival.
Upon receiving the news, everyone in the Yan family went to the gate to welcome them.
Seeing Aunt Lin and her son walking over with their hands on their hips and a proud look on their faces, Daohua felt a little toothache, while Yan Zhiyuan and others looked at Madam Li meaningfully.
Ping Xiao snorted coldly and muttered, "You've only just gotten pregnant, and you're already so cocky. Aren't you afraid of hurting your back?"
Madam Li glared at her and said, "Don't cause trouble for me." Then she looked at Aunt Lin calmly and said, "You just got pregnant and your body is still unstable. It's better not to come out unless you have nothing to worry about."
Aunt Lin smiled weakly: "Thank you for your concern, madam. I also wanted to tell the master as soon as possible that he is going to be a father again." After that, she touched her belly with a happy face.
Seeing this, Daohua curled her lips. She knew that this man would definitely do something naughty by taking advantage of her pregnancy. Look, it was only the second day, and she couldn't wait to come out and show off.
At this time, Yan Zhigao's carriage arrived.
Seeing Yan Zhigao getting off the carriage, Aunt Lin was about to go forward with joy, but unexpectedly, right after Yan Zhigao, another young, beautiful and charming woman got off the carriage.
The beauty was only 28 years old, with her hair combed in a bun. She stood beside Yan Zhigao with a shy look on her face, looking like a little bird.
Seeing this scene, not only Aunt Lin was dumbfounded, but the other people in the Yan family were also stunned.
"Ahem~"
Seeing the surprised faces of his family, Yan Zhigao coughed awkwardly, then smiled at Madam Li and pointed at the beauty and said, "Madam, this is Liu." Then he looked at the beauty again and said, "Liu, why don't you go over and greet Madam quickly."
Upon hearing this, the beautiful lady quickly walked over to Madam Li, then knelt down with a thump and kowtowed respectfully: "Your servant Liu greets Madam."
After the beauty finished bowing, Mrs. Li came back to her senses, glanced at Yan Zhigao, who looked a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly said, "Get up quickly." As she spoke, she gestured to Pingtong beside her, asking her to help the person.
After Liu stood up, Madam Li calmed herself down and said with a smile, "Master, you've had a hard journey. Go back to your room and wash up first."
Yan Zhigao nodded, said nothing, and went straight into the mansion without noticing Aunt Lin standing beside him.
Mrs. Li tapped her daughter, whose eyes were almost popping out of her head, and hurriedly followed.
As the two of them left, the others gradually came back to their senses, looked at each other in confusion, and then hurried to catch up.
Daohua stood still, staring blankly at the backs of everyone: "Father has only been away for two days, and he already has a concubine? He is really lucky!" After saying that, she flicked her handkerchief and quickly chased after them.
Aunt Lin just stood there stupidly in front of the gate until everyone had left, then she came to her senses.
"I haven't told the master that I'm pregnant yet!"
Yan Yishuang and Yan Wenbin were a little anxious because their father hadn't even seen their aunt just now.
"Auntie, let's go in quickly."
It is too humiliating for the wife to fight with the concubine, so let the concubines fight among themselves!
