"Bleh bleh bleh..."
After hearing too much from her mother, Qiu Yan got a bit irritated and then suddenly began to retch.
"This child must have overeaten, her stomach is upset."
Mrs. Qiu helplessly watched her daughter: "You should eat these sour plums sparingly, nibbling on them constantly. Just watching you makes my cheeks ache with sourness."
"They’re not sour, they’re quite delicious."
"No matter how delicious they are, everything needs moderation. Eating too much will upset your stomach."
Are these plums not sour?
Mrs. Qiu grabbed one and popped it into her mouth, her face scrunched up with sourness.
If it weren’t for her good upbringing, Mrs. Qiu would have spat it out right away.
"You child..." She finally managed to swallow it: "How can you say they’re not sour?"
She actually believed it!
Mrs. Qiu, who never liked sour food, got tricked by her daughter today.
"They’re really not sour, quite tasty."
She ate one after another, Qiu Yan didn’t stop.
Even the maid couldn’t stand it, watching as a whole plate of plums was devoured by the lady.
But after finishing, she started retching again and rushed to the washroom to throw it all up.
"Soone, go invite Doctor Sun to check on Yan’er."
Her daughter returned two months after getting married, now eating plums she gets sick like this; Mrs. Qiu was worried.
Wait, Mrs. Qiu suddenly thought of sothing: her daughter has been married for two months!
"Yan’er, when did you last change your wash cloths?"
Qiu Yan paused, she had forgotten.
"You child, how can you be so careless?"
The maidservants around... it’s best to have a thoughtful one.
After getting married, Qiu Yan assigned the senior maids who used to serve her, so they can marry and have children and return to be nannies.
The current ones around her were young maids, not very experienced.
"Madam, the young miss hasn’t changed in two months."
Maid Zi’er whispered: "I reminded the young miss, but she didn’t pay any attention."
"You child, how can you be so careless?"
Mrs. Qiu got anxious and sent for Doctor Sun again.
"Mother, there’s no need, who in the Capital is more skilled than Nuannuan?" Qiu Yan was unconcerned: "Even if I’m sick, Nuannuan can treat ."
"What sickness could it be?"
Mrs. Qiu quickly rebuked her daughter: "You child, you don’t care at all about your own matters."
Qiu Yan tilted her head, what could be wrong with her?
She could eat and sleep well... oh, especially sleep well.
She’s quite lucky, her mother-in-law is kind, only asking her to pay formal visits on specific days; usually, she doesn’t have to go, and she can sleep as much as she wants. The small kitchen is always open for her.
To be honest, Qiu Yan felt that married life was more carefree than unmarried life.
Living with her maiden family, her mother would occasionally nag, always worrying whether she’d find a suitable match; sotis even with chores, her mother would instruct her on how to do things.
But in her in-laws’ ho, there was no control.
Her mother-in-law really spoiled her, just as Nuannuan said: this mother-in-law is truly one of a kind.
"Can eat, can sleep?"
"Yes, I can eat and sleep, the only downside is a frequent need to visit the washroom."
As she spoke, she got up to go to the washroom again.
"Madam, the young miss is pregnant." Nanny Ma softly told Mrs. Qiu, "How co Nanny Zhong didn’t ntion this?"
"Looking at how lazy she is, managing her backyard alone is already tiring for Nanny Zhong."
Mrs. Qiu knew her daughter too well.
She didn’t care at all about the household managent.
Married to Zhao Mansion, Mrs. Zhou handed over the household managent to her, and Qiu Yan imdiately gave it all to Nanny Zhong, making the old nanny work tirelessly...
Doctor Sun soon ca.
"Congratulations Madam, congratulations. Madam is expecting."
What?
Qiu Yan confusedly stared at her mother.
This is...?
"Thank you, Doctor Sun." Mrs. Qiu glanced at her now dumbstruck daughter, feeling helpless: "How does my daughter’s pregnancy look?"
"Zhao Madam’s pregnancy looks stable, she’s healthy, just needs to avoid eating any forbidden foods."
"Does she need prescribed prenatal dication?"
"No need, all dicine has so toxicity. Currently, Zhao Madam’s health and pregnancy look excellent, no dicine required."
"Thank you, Doctor. Nanny Ma, see Doctor Sun out."
"Yes, Madam." Nanny Ma promptly said: "Doctor Sun, please."
Doctor Sun left, and Qiu Yan hadn’t yet co to her senses.
"Mother..."
"You silly child, how can you be so bewildered?" Mrs. Qiu tapped her forehead: "How did I give birth to such a silly girl?"
Other people’s daughters at this age have children old enough to buy soy sauce, yet her own child was pregnant but didn’t even know.
"Soone, co."
"Madam, please instruct."
"Go to Zhao Mansion, tell the son-in-law to co and personally take his wife back."
"Mother, it’s not necessary." Qiu Yan quickly said: "I ca on my own, why can’t I go back on my own?"
"There are things to explain to the son-in-law, and you shouldn’t co and go to the maiden ho all the ti without reason."
Qiu Yan was amused and exasperated.
It’s just a pregnancy, isn’t it?
And she couldn’t visit her maiden ho freely anymore?
"You’re now carrying a child, you need to rest and recuperate."
Qiu Yan recalled Zhao Minglang ntioning he would take her out for a walk in the suburbs during the break.
Can’t she go now?
Indeed, Zhao Minglang, like her mother, beca instantly nervous upon hearing about the pregnancy. He even instructed the carriage driver, Uncle Huang, to drive slowly on the way ho, not to jostle her.
Mrs. Zhou heard her daughter-in-law was pregnant and was so moved she almost shed tears.
"Thank Bodhisattva for the blessing, Yan’er, tell what you’d like to eat, the small kitchen should always have stew ready so you’re not hungry." Mrs. Zhou said: "Nanny Zhong, inform directly about any household matters, don’t disturb Yan’er’s rest."
"Ming Lang, you should ask your father what precautions to take."
Mrs. Zhou actually wanted to tell her son to be gentle and restrained.
She was really embarrassed to say it outright; such matters aren’t for a mother to say.
"Yes, son will definitely listen to father."
Qiu Yan felt that after they diagnosed her pregnancy, everything had changed.
She wasn’t allowed to walk fast, everything she ate was carefully chosen, even speaking volus had lessened.
She didn’t feel that eating and drinking without diagnostics affected her.
Isn’t this all a bit over the top?
Chun Nuan heard Qiu Yan was pregnant, and specifically ca to chat with her, explaining so precautions.
"Nuannuan, does childbirth hurt a lot?"
Chun Nuan... how should she respond to that?
The pain of childbirth varies by person, so have high tolerance and don’t hurt as much; so are sensitive and find it unbearable.
"Nuannuan, you must promise to help deliver my baby when the ti cos."
"Alright, I’ll help deliver the baby myself."
