Chapter 318: There May Be a Second Child
Zhao Xuan was naturally the busiest one. His nephew had lost his mother and his father didn't care about him. Now that he was getting married, he didn't need his uncle's help with everything.
Zhao Xuan was so busy that he didn't even have time to go to Gao Wanxin's place.
On the day of Maidong's wedding, the red makeup stretched for ten miles, which was luxurious yet low-key. If it had not been less than three years since the death of the late emperor, the Chen family of the Marquisate would definitely not have treated their only legitimate daughter so unfairly.
Gao Wanxin sat at home, listening to what her maid Yu'er said.
There were exclamations and sounds of envy.
"My cousin is so lucky to marry Miss Chen."
"The dowry stretched for ten miles. I heard that these were all on the surface, and there were many more in private. Those things that were not on the surface were all private property for the daughter of the Chen family."
Gao Wanxin smiled faintly and said nothing.
She was instructing Mai Dong and Lu Yu, but seeing them getting married and receiving so many people's blessings, Gao Wanxin felt envious.
She is not jealous of Maidong.
I just envy her for having a brother and sister-in-law who are so good to her, and a man who treasures her.
Zhao Xuan was also very good to her, and she cherished him in her heart.
But a woman’s confidence comes from her mother’s family, and she doesn’t have that confidence.
Therefore, she had no say in front of Zhao Xuan.
Now she was going to marry into the Zhao family, not because she was so good or outstanding, but because she gave birth to Zhao Xuan's son.
Perhaps if she had given birth to a daughter, Zhao Xuan might not have really married her.
On the day of Maidong's wedding, the Zhao family was very busy. Gao Wanxin took Yier to go there when there were few people around, and left when there were many people. After all, Zhao Xuan said he wanted to marry her, but they had not yet had the wedding, so she was not his nominal wife.
Her identity was unclear, and when she went to Maidong, she didn't know how to address him.
Moreover, the Chen family included some relatives who came to send the bride as dowry.
When people ask her about it, Maidong will have a hard time explaining it.
Gao Wanxin gave Maidong a wedding gift a few days before his wedding and sent it to the Chen family. She sent it as a good friend of Maidong, so she sent it in advance.
Zhao Xuan came back quite early in the evening, but he had drunk a lot of wine and was staggering as he walked.
Gao Wanxin coaxed Yier to sleep early. The little guy was not full of milk, so he gradually stopped drinking it. Now he eats three meals a day and drinks milk, so there is no need to worry about insufficient nutrition.
The little guy is very strong.
When Gao Wanxin heard Zhao Xuanlai's voice, she went over, but she couldn't stand the smell of alcohol on him.
He turned around and lay outside to vomit.
She really vomited, throwing up everything she had eaten and drunk.
Zhao Xuan saw that she was in great pain, so he went over to take a look. Unexpectedly, Gao Wanxin vomited even more violently after he arrived.
"Sir, you should let someone else help you wash up. I really can't stand the smell of you. It's very uncomfortable."
"Do you feel like vomiting when you see me?"
Zhao Xuan asked her.
Gao Wanxin covered her mouth and nose, "No, it's just that the smell of you is really unpleasant, sir, I..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she vomited again.
These past few days, I really had a poor appetite and always wanted to vomit but couldn't. Now, it seems like I want to vomit out all the previous discomfort.
Gao Wanxin feels very uncomfortable now and just wants to vomit.
Zhao Xuan wanted to go forward but didn't dare to.
Instead, Yu'er asked, "Madam, are you pregnant?"
Gao Wanxin stood there in a daze. Could it be true?
Her period hadn't come for several months since she gave birth. She'd had a few periods before, but then suddenly stopped. She didn't know who to ask about it, and she didn't feel comfortable asking the doctor. She figured it was fine and convenient without a period, so she didn't bother with it much.
Is she really pregnant?
Zhao Xuan was quite excited. He immediately stepped forward and grabbed Gao Wanxin's hand. "Could it be that you are really pregnant? Come on, let me see."
Gao Wanxin subconsciously touched her belly.
"Are you really pregnant? Why don't I feel anything?"
"Don't move, let me touch it..."
Zhao Xuan actually put his hand on her belly, and after a long pause, there was no movement. "No movement?"
"Sir, even if you are pregnant, it's still early in the pregnancy, so what kind of movement can you expect?"
Gao Wanxin chuckled.
To be honest, she also wanted to have more children. People say that daughters are considerate, so she also wanted to have a daughter. However, she was worried about Zhao Xuan's health. After all, she was old, and she was afraid that she might not be able to do it. But unexpectedly, she was really pregnant again...
"Sit down quickly and don't move."
"Yu'er, remember this. I'll ask a doctor to come tomorrow morning and have my wife take a look."
Yu'er agreed happily.
Gao Wanxin touched her belly happily and forgot that there was a drunkard named Zhao Xuan next to her. When she smelled the unpleasant smell of alcohol, Gao Wanxin immediately pushed him away.
"Sir, I really can't stand the smell of you. You should go to the wing room and sleep."
Zhao Xuan happily agreed. "Okay, I'll go to the wing room now. Be careful when you sleep at night and take good care of yourself."
"I'll come back tomorrow to find two maids to take care of your daily life."
Zhao Xuan was driven out.
Gao Wanxin was lying on the bed, feeling very happy but also worried. She hadn't married Zhao Xuan yet, and now she was pregnant with her second child. She was still an unknown person.
When Gao Wanxin was happy, there was also a hint of sadness.
This night was quite difficult for her.
The next morning, she was woken up by Yier. Gao Wanxin, who hadn't slept well, had a headache and called out for Yuer.
I didn't see Yu'er coming, but I heard an old maid outside the door respond.
"My lady, have you invited me here? I was specially summoned by my master to serve you."
Today is the day when Maidong and Lu Yu get up early to serve tea and change their words. They think that Zhao Xuan got up very early, and Gao Wanxin is a person without a formal status, so it is reasonable that she is not called.
She sat up slightly.
"Which one are you?"
"I am the daughter of Hu Ermazi, the kitchen's waiter. My last name is Zhang. You can just call me Aunt Zhang."
Gao Wanxin looked at the woman in front of her. She was not very old, probably around thirty-five.
"Auntie Zhang, since the master asked you to come and serve, then please come in. Let me tell you first, you will help me take care of Yi'er in the future."
Gao Wanxin said, but still asked, "Where did Yu'er go?"
After all, they were familiar with it. Gao Wanxin didn't have to ask what Yu'er did every day. She didn't do it very well or very carefully, but she was very skilled, which saved Gao Wanxin a lot of effort.
But this was Zhang Ma's first day here, so it was normal that she was not familiar with many things.
Gao Wanxin taught slowly at first.
"Yier's clothes are all in the cabinet in front. Aunt Zhang, please get one first and I'll change the child."
