"Miss you..."
Her mouth opened and closed, a thought flashed through her mind, but she almost didn’t dare to think about it.
ng Qianqian understood her guess and nodded slightly to her: "Three months."
Nanny Li inhaled sharply, and as experienced as she was, let out the most exaggerated exclamation of her life: "Oh my!"
"What happened? What’s going on?"
Nanny Wan, who was helping Lady Du in the kitchen, rushed in with a spatula in hand.
Nanny Li was beyond excited, her chest heaving violently.
Nanny Wan thought she was shocked and threw down the spatula, rushing over to hold Nanny Li’s shoulders: "Nanny Li, what’s wrong with you, don’t scare !"
"Don’t, don’t shake, I’m dizzy."
Nanny Li pressed her spinning head.
Nanny Wan let go slowly and asked: "What on earth happened?"
Ban Xia laughed: "Nanny is happy."
Nanny Wan said: "The miss is back, that’s reason to be happy, but you’re a bit overjoyed, aren’t you? It’s not the first ti the miss has traveled far, rember last ti she went with the young master to the border, I was worried sick every day, fearing sothing would happen to her. But when she returned safely, you weren’t like this."
Ban Xia said: "This is different!"
Nanny Wan was anxious: "Oh, my dear Ban Xia, stop keeping in suspense, tell what happened, I’ve never seen Nanny Li like this."
Tan’er crossed her arms: "If she won’t say, I’ll say!"
Ban Xia glared at her: "When did I say I wouldn’t say it?"
Tan’er lifted her chin: "Sister is pregnant, the Governor Mansion is going to have a new little baby!"
"Oh my goodness!"
This ti it was Nanny Wan’s turn to be astonished.
After such a long marriage, with no movent from the young madam’s belly, it was always on their minds.
They knew, within the Lu Family, it was because they hadn’t consummated the marriage.
But the young madam and the Grand Commander were a well-known couple, sweet and inseparable, they had been looking forward to it since the marriage’s first month.
But unexpectedly, the young madam’s monthly cycle arrived on schedule.
They couldn’t help but rember a rumor they heard at the Lu Family, that the young madam fell into a lake and caught a cold, potentially making her unable to bear children.
At first, they didn’t believe it.
But later they began to worry.
No matter how deep the Grand Commander’s feelings were for the young madam, could he resist the longing for heirs? Could he give up the thought of continuing the family line?
They dared not imagine, if the young madam didn’t conceive in a year, or two... would she have to accept concubines for her husband like other won?
With the young madam’s fierce nature, such a move would be like stabbing her own heart, smashing her pride and dignity.
"Miss..."
Nanny Wan choked up.
Nanny Li’s excitent didn’t surprise ng Qianqian too much, but Nanny Wan’s sudden tears took her aback.
After all, this was Nanny Wan.
A woman who, rolling up her sleeves, could fling a petty thief against a wall like a pancake.
"I’m just too happy..."
Nanny Wan’s nose tingled, "Miss needn’t take concubines for the young master anymore..."
ng Qianqian smiled helplessly, "So, this was what you were worried about."
"Alright, no more crying."
Nanny Li handed a handkerchief to Nanny Wan.
Nanny Wan took the handkerchief, blew her nose, and said: "I know the young master is devoted to the miss, but n, they all want to have successors."
At this point, too excited, she reverted to calling her by her old title, "miss."
ng Qianqian curled her lips into a smile: "That won’t happen."
Nanny Wan wiped her tears and resolutely said: "That’s right, the young master is not such a person, and the miss is not soone to be easily manipulated!"
ng Qianqian looked at the red-eyed Nanny Li and Nanny Wan: "I didn’t know you were so worried, if I had known, I would have told you sooner."
She was referring to the Abortion Soup.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t conceive, but at that ti, she hadn’t decided whether to welco a new life, to inherit her past killings and vendettas.
How did she co to terms with it?
She couldn’t really say.
Perhaps it was his deliberately calm eyes when he brought the Abortion Soup, or maybe his too lonely back when he turned to leave, or perhaps the budding force within her had already silently sprouted.
"It’s right to keep it until three months to say it."
Nanny Li said.
Nanny Wan said: "Three months? Wonderful! That ans the fetus is stable! Miss, do you suffer from morning sickness? Do you know what morning sickness is? Can’t eat? Nauseated... can’t wake up..."
Ban Xia burst into laughter.
Even Nanny Li struggled to suppress her laughter.
