Jin Linlin had just closed her eyes and wanted to take a short nap, when suddenly, a strong feeling of nausea rose up her throat and she couldn't help but dry heave.
Seeing this, Nanny Bai hurriedly picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her mouth, while gently patting her back to relieve her discomfort.
Nanny Bai brought a glass of water and asked with concern, "Madam, what's wrong? Are you overworked?"
She took a breath and said angrily, "Mammy, Third Sister-in-law's belly is so big, and she didn't even complain about the hardship. But you say I'm having a hard time?"
Nanny Bai smiled awkwardly: "Wait, Madam, are you pregnant?"
Aunt Bai's voice trembled with excitement: "Chunxue, go and ask Aunt Zi, hurry up!"
Haruyuki's hurried footsteps were heard from outside, like a gust of wind, quickly fading away.
After hearing what Nanny Bai said, Jin Linlin couldn't help but feel a little happy, but also a little bit unbelievable.
Not long after, Aunt Zi hurried over. She gently placed her hand on Jin Linlin's wrist and carefully felt her pulse, a smile gradually appearing on her face. "Congratulations, madam, you are pregnant." Aunt Zi's voice was like the sound of nature, pleasant to the ears.
Jin Linlin was surprised and happy. Her hand involuntarily touched her belly, and a gentle light flashed in her eyes.
Nanny Bai was grinning from ear to ear: "Madam, this is such great joy! The Second Master will surely be ecstatic when he finds out."
Jin Linlin glanced at Aunt Zi worriedly and asked softly, "Aunt, I remember I had my period last month. Could it be that I took the pulse wrong?"
Aunt Zi sat down beside her bed and said earnestly, "Is it because the amount is too little? Some pregnant women may experience this. Don't worry, it's been two months."
Jin Linlin felt relieved when she heard this. She said gratefully, "Thank you, auntie. However, since it's the Queen's funeral, this matter must not be made public."
"Well, it's better to keep a low profile and wait until the baby is firmly seated."
At this moment, the maid came to report: "Madam, the third lady is here."
Jin Linlin quickly calmed herself down and gestured for Cao Jiao to come in.
Cao Jiao walked in with her big round belly, a smile on her face: "Second sister-in-law, I heard that you were feeling a little unwell, so I came to visit you."
Jin Linlin smiled and responded, "Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. I'm pregnant."
A smile flashed in Cao Jiao's eyes: "Congratulations, we are going to have a new addition to our family now."
Jin Linlin held Cao Jiao's hand tightly, extremely excited. She and Jiang Zhixu also had a baby.
Nanny Bai was even happier, as her young lady had finally gained a foothold in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. No matter how good her son-in-law was to her, a child would always be a woman's support.
I have to tell the master this good news as soon as possible. He will definitely be very happy. I also have to write a letter to the second master.
"Madam, please write to the Second Master and your father immediately!"
After Nanny Bai said this, Jin Linlin hesitated. Although having a child was a good thing, the Queen's funeral was underway and everyone in the palace was in mourning. If she sent word of this now and someone with ulterior motives got hold of it, it would probably cause trouble.
Cao Jiao seemed to see through her concerns and said with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, Madam has good intentions, but we really need to be cautious about this matter. How about waiting until this period is over before informing Second Master and Old Master of the good news?"
Jin Linlin nodded and said, "My sister-in-law is right. It's better to be cautious."
At this time, Nanny Bai spoke again: "Madam, even if you don't send a message now, you must take good care of this child. This child is precious."
Jin Linlin stroked her belly gently, her eyes full of tenderness, "Don't worry, Mammy, I will take good care of myself and the baby." Cao Jiao also gave a few concerned instructions, and stayed with Jin Linlin for a while before leaving.
Jin Linlin looked at Cao Jiao's departing back, her heart full of expectations for the future, hoping that the child could come into the world safely.
Today is the last day of the wake, and Jin Linlin is feeling uneasy. She is worried that something might happen to her child at this critical moment.
To ensure everything was safe, she bought pregnancy-preserving drugs from an e-pharmacy early on and took them without hesitation.
At the same time, in the study room of the Su Mansion, Su Ci Fu and Duke Mu were sitting opposite each other, sipping tea leisurely.
Su Cifu said confidently, "Everything has been arranged perfectly. Jiang Zhixu actually watched my wife die without saving her. This is a heinous crime! I will never let him off easily. I will definitely make sure his family is destroyed!"
Duke Mu frowned upon hearing this and tapped the table with some worry, warning, "Jiang Zhixu isn't an ordinary man. He commands a large army. Once he returns, he'll probably go crazy and seek revenge on us. With his strength, it would be easy for him to deal with us. What if he really wants to perish with us? What then?"
Su Cifu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, and said confidently:
"Don't worry, Duke. I've already thought of a countermeasure. I'm in charge of the logistics this time. As long as we block his food supplies, even if Jiang Zhixu has great abilities, he won't be able to display them.
When he returns to question us, we will make excuses by saying that the food supplies were hijacked by the enemy. Then even if he has a lot of grievances, he will have no way to complain.
Furthermore, I have deliberately arranged for people to spread rumors among the army that he is arrogant and does not care about the lives of his soldiers. This will surely cause great chaos in his army and make them unable to take care of us at all."
Duke Mu stroked his beard and nodded, "That's great. Once Jiang Zhixu falls, we'll have one less formidable opponent in the court. But we still have to be careful about this matter and not let others get hold of us."
