Shen Cile blushed: "Who goes back to their parents' home to stay for a year or two? People will laugh at us if they find out."
Ning Yao said, "Where is it not? It's like this in my house, Mother, aren't you right?"
Madam Ning was clearly still pondering Ning Yao's words: "Isn't it inappropriate to go back to your parents' home for a few years?"
“That’s right, if word gets out, people will think something terrible has happened!” Shen Cile was studying female virtues and precepts, so Ning Yao’s words seemed like a fantasy to her.
Ning Yao didn't argue with them, but instead asked, "Mother, if I get married, would you like me to come home and stay for extended periods of time?"
Madam Ning answered instinctively, "Of course we hope so!"
Then she realized that this was not right. She had just said that a wife should not stay too long when she went back to her parents' home, but now that she was visiting her own daughter, why was it not the same?
"But……"
"No buts, you see, don't you also want me to be home more often? To you, I am your precious daughter, so naturally you feel it's best if I'm home. But Second Sister-in-law is also Prince Duan's darling, and she also hopes her child can come home more often, right?"
The group nodded thoughtfully.
Ning Yao continued, "Similarly, if I get married in the future, and my mother-in-law doesn't want me to come home often, wouldn't I have even less time to spend with you?"
Madam Ning was momentarily at a loss: "Then... what should we do?"
Ning Yao shook her head: "There is no good solution to this problem. All we can do is to do our best. You want your daughter to come home, and Prince Duan must also want your second sister-in-law to do the same. If you want to treat your second sister-in-law like your own daughter, you must abandon that idea, understand?"
Madam Ning nodded somewhat bewilderedly: "Mother understands, Mother will try her best..."
Shen Cile hugged her arm: "It's okay. My parents treat me well, and the Ning family treats me well too. Even if I don't go back, I believe my father will understand, as long as I'm doing well."
Madam Ning looked at her, her heart softening slightly.
She had watched this child grow up, and ever since the child became sensible, she had been preparing to marry into the Ning family.
Speaking of the eldest daughter of Prince Duan's mansion, His Majesty's cousin, she is qualified to be granted the title of Princess.
Marrying into the Ning family was considered a step down, and now she has left her hometown with them to come to this unfamiliar place thousands of miles away. It's really not easy.
“Good child, you are a filial son. I will not be a wicked mother-in-law. When you want to go back in the future, you can go back and stay for a year or two.”
“Mother…” Shen Cile was moved to tears.
Madam Ning patted her hand: "Don't worry, I understand. Just like Yao Yao said, just do your best."
These heartfelt words successfully brought tears to Shen Cile's eyes.
Ning Yao casually dropped a bombshell: "Mom, don't make Second Sister-in-law cry. She's not alone now."
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet; the carriage stopped, and the horses came to a halt.
Everyone looked at Ning Yao as if they had seen a ghost, and then looked at Shen Cile.
Shen Cile looked bewildered: "Why aren't you leaving?"
"What did you mean by what you just said, daughter?" Ning Wenyi leaned closer to Ning Yao.
Ning Yao smiled mysteriously: "It's exactly what you think."
Ning Yao wouldn't abandon Die without a reason; there must be a reason for her saying that.
Not alone... Not alone...
etc!
Could it be!
"Yaoyao, are you saying that Lele is pregnant?" Madam Ning gripped Shen Cile's hand tighter, her voice trembling.
Shen Ciyue's mind went completely blank for a moment.
Ning Yao started to shift the blame: "Oh, right, if you don't believe me, ask your second brother, he knows too."
Madam Ning's gaze suddenly turned to Ning Jin, her eyes blazing with fury.
Ning Jin's body stiffened. Oh no, this unlucky sister of hers.
"When did this happen? Why didn't you tell us? Do you know how dangerous this journey was? You kept nothing from us. What if something happened to Lele? You unfilial son! Are you trying to drive your mother crazy?"
Ning Wenyi, mounted on his horse, was also furious: "You unfilial son! You unfilial son! You're outrageous!"
Ning Jin was on the verge of tears: "Mother... Third Sister knows about this, but she forbids me to talk about it. What can I do?"
Madam Ning ignored her completely and retorted sharply, "You're talking nonsense! How old is your third sister? What does she know? You are Lele's husband. You don't care, but you make your third sister, a young girl, worry about it?"
Ning Wenyi added fuel to the fire: "When we get there, you'd better kneel down in the yard and reflect on your actions!"
Ning Jin wanted to cry but had no tears.
After everyone's surprise subsided, Ning Lang whispered, "Master and Madam have arrived. Is this the place?"
Everyone then realized that the carriage stopped not only because of the news of Shen Cile's pregnancy, but also because the carriage had arrived outside the manor.
"Get out of the car first, we'll deal with you inside!"
Madam Ning got off the carriage first, and then carefully helped Chen Cile. Dongyue was also waiting on the other side, afraid that she might lose her footing.
"Come on, watch your step, watch where you're going..."
Shen Cile was still in a daze.
Is she pregnant?
Why don't I feel anything at all?
Judging by the time, it should be the night before departure.
It should be four months now.
Before she got married, the maid in the manor told her about the whole process of a woman serving her husband, getting pregnant and giving birth after marriage.
But why is it completely different from what Momo said?
I didn't experience the nausea, vomiting, or drowsiness that are common in early pregnancy.
No, she was indeed sleepy; she had been drowsy all day long, even before arriving in Songyang City.
At the time, I thought it was a problem with the carriage, but now I realize it was because of my pregnancy.
Moreover, she eats a lot; she can eat the equivalent of two people's meals.
Shen Cile subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, feeling that it was too amazing.
Is this what pregnancy feels like?
Madam Ning, noticing her subtle movement, immediately asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Is your stomach upset?"
Shen Cile shook her head, pursed her lips, and said shyly, "No, Mother, I just feel something is a little magical."
Madam Ning breathed a sigh of relief and took her hand: "Relax. Since nothing happened along the way, it means the child is very strong. Don't worry."
"Yes, I'll listen to Mother!"
On the other side, Ning Wenyi, who was not close to his daughter-in-law, grabbed Ning Jin's ear and said, "You brat, how dare you listen to your sister about something like this? She's never had a child before, how could you do that?"
"Ouch, Father, be gentle. My third sister knows medicine, but she told me not to tell anyone, so I listened to her."
Ning Jin felt extremely wronged.
When Ning Yao was mentioned to have medical skills, Ning Wenyi unconsciously loosened his grip on her.
Yao Yao is probably right.
Even before the carriage arrived at the gate, the commotion outside had already reached the courtyard.
Upon hearing the commotion, Ning Shan immediately reported to Ning Qiong.
"Young Miss, more people have arrived outside, and this time there seem to be quite a few."
Ning Qiong frowned slightly: "It's been almost half a year, and they still aren't done?"
