Chapter 195 Discovering Pregnancy
The next day, Mr. Lin came with a bunch of gifts. The noise scared Yunniang and she spoke in a panic.
Lin Dongjia glanced at Yunniang indifferently, showing the demeanor of a noble lady. Ye Mingzhu waved her hand to let Yunniang go, and then said with a smile: "I just bought a servant for my family. I am sorry to have embarrassed you, sister."
Lin Dongjia gave her a reproachful look and said, "Why are you and I talking about this? But judging from her complexion, she seems to be ill."
Ye Mingzhu nodded: "Fortunately, my mother's medical skills are good, and she can treat it. But it's better not to say it in front of Yunniang."
She lowered her voice and said that Yunniang's illness was a women's disease and should not be discussed in public.
Lin Dongjia's eyes lit up: "I didn't expect that my aunt could also see patients?"
"My mother used to be a village doctor and treated some simple illnesses for the villagers." Ye Mingzhu didn't know what Lin Dongjia was planning and just said a few simple words.
Mrs. Lin nodded, but was thinking about asking Aunt Jiang to check her pulse in a few days.
She smiled and asked the maid to bring over a brocade box she had brought with her: "This contains the official swallows that several sisters gave me when I returned this time. I brought you a box."
Ye Mingzhu was stunned. How could it be such a coincidence?
Seeing her attitude, Lin Dongjia hesitated: "Is this bird's nest not good?"
Ye Mingzhu came back to her senses and smiled, "Yesterday we were talking about buying some bird's nests, and today my sister delivered it. Isn't that a coincidence?"
Lin Dongjia also smiled and said, "That's really a coincidence. I still have some at home. I'll ask the maid to bring some more later."
She didn't even ask who was eating it, and just asked the maid to go back and get it.
Ye Mingzhu quickly stopped her: "Sister, the food you sent us can last us for a while, and Brother Yu has already gone to buy some."
Lin Dongjia shook his head. "In Pinggu Town, if you want to buy fish maw and sea cucumber, there's definitely no problem. But if you want to buy bird's nest, you may not be able to buy good quality. I'll ask someone to go to the capital to buy some for you. The quality is guaranteed to be good."
Ye Mingzhu hesitated a little: "That would be too much trouble for Sister Lin."
Lin Dongjia pretended to be angry and said, "You already call me sister, and you still care so much about me. Then when I need to trouble you in the future, will you also refuse to help me?"
Ye Mingzhu immediately replied, "Sister, what are you talking about? As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse. Since you said so, I won't refuse, but you can't let you pay for it. I'll go get it for you."
Lin Dongjia stopped Ye Mingzhu and said, "I haven't given you the dividends from the shop yet. I'll use those first. If it's not enough, I'll give it to you later."
Ye Mingzhu finally nodded: "Let's make it clear, I can't let my sister pay for it."
Lin Dongjia laughed heartily. "I manage so many shops, how can I let myself lose money? If you want to thank me, why not take me to find some coral and tortoise shells? Some noble ladies in the prefecture and the capital like these things."
"Sister, you're right. Our sea doesn't produce corals. You have to rely on luck to find them. As for hawksbill turtles..." Ye Mingzhu shook her head: "I haven't found any yet."
She had been here for so long and had never seen a hawksbill turtle. She only knew that the hawksbill turtle was a bit like a turtle. If she wanted to get the hawksbill turtle, she had to kill it. It was similar to taking pearls, but much more cruel. She had never done it before.
Lin Dongjia waved his hand and said, "I know coral and hawksbill turtle are rare, otherwise they wouldn't be so expensive. Even if we get them, we can't sell them in large quantities."
Ye Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. Fortunately, she had some coral in her own space. If Lin Dongjia wanted it, she could just find a chance to take some out. But she really didn't dare to touch the tortoise shell.
At this time, Lin Dongjia's maid had already brought the bird's nest. Lin Dongjia gave it to Ye Mingzhu and told her to let her know if she needed anything in the future, as she had some connections in the capital.
Ye Mingzhu agreed with a smile, but it is hard to say whether she will do it later.
Mr. Lin stayed at the Jiang family until he had lunch before going back. When he left, he reminded Ye Mingzhu if she wanted to send a nanny over to teach Yunniang some manners.
Ye Mingzhu thought about it and did not refuse, but just said that she would ask Aunt Jiang.
In the following days, Lin Dongjia came every other day, just to sit and chat with Ye Mingzhu, have lunch here and then go back.
Yunniang has been preparing lunch for the Jiang family recently. After eating there twice, Lin Dongjia praised her highly and treated her much better. He even asked a nanny beside him to teach her the rules.
When Aunt Jiang found out, she just told Yunniang to study hard and said that the nanny around Mr. Lin was well behaved.
Ye Mingzhu smiled and asked her if she wanted to learn something. Aunt Jiang shook her head: "There are few people in our Jiang family. You are the wife of the Jiang family. No one dares to say anything to you."
This statement is domineering, but Ye Mingzhu likes it.
When she asked this question, Lin Dongjia was standing next to her. When he heard Aunt Jiang's answer, he laughed out loud with a hint of bitterness in his voice.
"I'll teach you some of your younger sister's rules later. Anyway, your aunt doesn't care, so you don't have to worry about others."
Lin Dongjia has been learning those rules since she was a child, but she never felt that those rules brought her any benefits. Now that she has let go of everything, she is even more unwilling to live by the rules.
After chatting and laughing, Mr. Lin handed the things he brought to Ye Mingzhu. Without waiting for her to speak, he said with a pitiful look that these were the meal expenses and asked Ye Mingzhu to accept them.
Ye Mingzhu had no choice but to accept it.
In order to avoid suspicion, Jiang Hongyu returned to Yuanshan Village and lived there for a few days. When he came back, he brought back a lot of seafood.
Ye Mingzhu specially invited Lin Dongjia to her home for a seafood dinner.
Unexpectedly, the meal had just been served and Mr. Lin hadn't even eaten yet, but his stomach started to feel sour.
She tried to hold it in but couldn't, so she ran out and vomited everything in her stomach.
Ye Mingzhu and Aunt Jiang followed worriedly.
"I'm fine. Maybe I didn't eat breakfast this morning, so I feel a little uncomfortable." Lin Dongjia cried with tears in the corners of his eyes and forced a smile.
Aunt Jiang saw that she looked like a pregnant woman, so she asked her to stretch out her hand so that she could feel her pulse. To her surprise, she was indeed pregnant.
Lin Dongjia was in a trance. After a while, he touched his stomach and asked, "Really?"
"My mother's medical skills are very good, it must be true." Ye Mingzhu believed that Aunt Jiang's medical skills would not make a mistake in diagnosing a pregnancy.
"I didn't doubt my aunt, I just didn't expect it." Mr. Lin's voice was a little vague.
"There's nothing wrong with your body. It's just a reaction to your pregnancy. If you're worried, you can go see a doctor." Aunt Jiang understood Lin Dongjia's mentality and said, "We cooked seafood at home today. You can't eat it. You can go back and eat some light food."
Mrs. Lin nodded, and was then helped back by the maid.
The next day, Lin Dongjia sent someone to deliver a letter to Ye Mingzhu, saying that she was not feeling well these days and would not come to eat.
Ye Mingzhu sighed, "I remember Sister Lin only came home once a while ago, and I didn't expect she was pregnant."
Aunt Jiang thought for a moment after hearing this and suggested, "Since there's nothing much to do at home these days, why don't you go to the farm and take a look? Last time I heard Mingzhu say they were growing sweet potatoes there. I wonder how they're doing now?"
