Ji Wan is just over a month pregnant.

This was the first grandchild of the Duke's Mansion. From the old lady to the maids in Chu Yuyuan, they were all very happy.

After Zhou received the news, he immediately went to the Duke's Mansion to visit his daughter.

Xiao Wen and Ji Heng also went with them.

Chu Yuyuan has long been overcrowded.

Mrs. An Guogong held Ji Wan's hand and smiled.

"This is your first child. You must be cautious and raise your child well. Leave everything to the people below to do."

Ji Wan leaned against the pillow, her face soft.

"Yes, mother, I know."

Zhou sat on the other side, with unstoppable joy in his eyes.

Ji Rong rushed over immediately after getting the news, "Sister has a child, I will be an aunt."

Ji Heng joined in the fun, "I'm going to be my uncle too."

Everyone in the room laughed.

Duke An Guo's wife gave a lot of instructions and then left with a few sisters-in-law, so that Ji Wan could take care of her baby.

Zhou brought many supplements.

She knew that her daughter was studying medicine, but it was her first time to be a mother. She had not had enough experience. Seeing that her mother-in-law had already given many advices, she stopped repeating it. She turned around and said to Lu Feili, who was standing next to her, "This woman is not easy for her to conceive. She can't eat or sleep in the early stage, vomiting and having a more impetuous temper. My son-in-law is more responsible."

Lu Feili naturally smiled.

"My mother-in-law is so serious. Awan is suffering from pregnancy and her son-in-law is not allowed to share the pain. She is already guilty and can't be neglected?"

Ji Wan smiled.

Now he looks serious and forgets how happy he looks when he first learned that she is pregnant?

It's very ashamed to say.

She studied medicine herself, but she didn't realize she was pregnant at the first time.

Originally, her monthly letter was coming almost the end of the month, and there were occasional inaccuracies. There were too many things last month, and she was busy talking all day long and didn't take it seriously. It was not until these two days that she noticed it.

During lunch, Lu Feili picked up food for her as usual. When she smelled the greasy smell, she continued to retching. Lu Feili was so scared that she wanted to hire a doctor, and then she told her about it.

Lu Feili was stunned at that time, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, his eyes as bright as stars.

"really?"

Ji Wan said angrily, "What will I lie to you for this kind of thing?"

Lu Feili held her shoulder excitedly, "I'm going to be a father? Do we have children?"

The look of joy on his face looked like a child.

Ji Wan didn't feel funny, "Stop shaking, I'm about to part with you."

Only then did Lu Feili realize that he had lost his composure and quickly let go, feeling at a loss and didn't know what to do. Then he hurriedly asked someone to inform his parents and asked the doctor again.

The so-called doctor does not treat himself, and a woman’s pregnancy is a major event and cannot be careless. She must be very cautious.

In less than two quarters of an hour, news of her pregnancy spread throughout the mansion.

It was almost dusk, and Zhou and others left, and the room finally became quiet.

Lu Feili sat down on the edge of the bed, holding her hand, with a soft look.

"Awan, thank you."

Ji Wan tilted her head to look at him and smiled.

"I seem to remember that someone said not long ago that we are a husband and wife, so we don't need to say these things. Why did we throw it out in the blink of an eye?"

Lu Feili also laughed.

"Yes, I'm wrong, ma'am."

Ji Wan said angrily, "I'm sorry!"

She lowered her head and stroked her belly, and asked, "Sanlang, do you like boys or girls?"

“Everything is good.”

Lu Feili smiled with a smile on his eyes, "I like it all."

Ji Wan's mouth bent slightly and she also smiled.

Chu Yuyuan was full of joy, but someone was anxious about the news.

The eldest young lady Dou's mother didn't know where she heard about Ji Wan's pregnancy, so she hurriedly came to the Duke's Mansion to visit her daughter.

"You have been married for almost two years, why haven't you moved yet? The one in the big house has passed by half a year later than you..."

"mother."

Dou was a little impatient, "This kind of thing depends on fate. Dalang and I are still young, so we are not in a hurry."

Mrs. Dou's eyebrows were worried and said bitterly, "This woman can only gain a foothold in her husband's family if she has a son. When I married your father, it was because she was unable to give birth to a son that he changed his mind and took one after another..." When talking about this, she looked sad, "I told you that men like gentle and sensible women, and your temper has changed. Last year, it was because of a maid and a man who had a bad relationship with his wife, and finally eased, so you can't just slack off. The men in the world are the same, greedy and lustful, and they are bored with the new and old. Now he is grateful for you to sacrifice yourself on the battlefield and still have feelings for you. If you have children at this time, you will also capture his heart..."

"mother."

Dou frowned, and his impatience deepened.

"Dalang is not such a person, don't worry."

"Nan Zhen..."

Mrs. Dou wanted to say something, but Mrs. Dou didn't like to listen, so she interrupted directly, "Mom, I've wanted to say something long ago. You always say that women regard softness as beauty and follow men. But over the years, are you useful to your father? He has raised a bunch of concubines. I said this, not to make you sad, but just to tell you that you are the wife and the mistress of the Dou family. You have to show the majesty of being a wife. If you don't like those women, just pass it over, why should you swallow all the tears into your stomach? The father can't see it. The more you suffer, the happier those few will be. I am not by your side, and my brother is keeping you in the front yard. You can't protect you by your side at all times. You have to learn to be self-reliant. Aren't those little ones just relying on your weakness to bully? Listen to me, if there are any disrespectful people to you, just take the blame and sell it."

"nonsense!"

Mrs. Dou immediately rejected, "Women should not be jealous..."

"Don't use the three obediences and four virtues to preach to me." Dou was used to seeing his mother's obedience, and was both angry and mourning. "Have you ever thought that you are thinking about your father everywhere, but he is becoming increasingly cold with you? It is because you are too spoiled by him. Women are too obedient, which will only make men feel easy to control. If you are strong one day, maybe he will look at you differently."

"Shut up."

Mrs. Dou scolded, "Don't say that to your father."

here we go again.

There is only one reason why a woman is good to a man without any bottom line, that is love.

Sometimes Dou doesn’t understand, why does his father still love him when he is so unfaithful? Since he loves this way, how can he tolerate serving his husband with other women? Isn’t this self-destruction?

"Since ancient times, men have three wives and four concubines, and women should know how to be tolerant and generous, and not be petty." Mrs. Dou kept bringing out the ethics rules, not knowing whether to persuade her daughter or comfort herself, "Nan Zhen, listen to her mother's words, do not act too domineeringly, you must understand..."

"Mom, I know what to do about my own affairs." Dou resisted his impatience, "Don't worry."

"Nan Zhen..."

What else does Mrs. Dou want to say? Dou no longer wants to listen, "It's getting late, I'll send you out of the house."

Knowing that he had made his daughter unhappy again, Mrs. Dou didn't continue and stood up and said, "No, you can do your business, I'll just go out by myself."

Dou didn't say anything, and held her hand to see her out.

Although she didn't like the "laws of women's survival" mentioned by her mother, she also understood that this was what all women learned and obeyed, and that her mother was just one of thousands of women.

Before getting on the carriage, Mrs. Dou couldn't help but say, "Dalang is on duty in the palace now, unlike before. He only took one day off for ten days. You couple have more time to spend together, so you should hurry up."

Dou really felt that his mother was too worried.

Did she get pregnant every day? After her third brother and sister got married, she got along with her husband every day. She even went to the north to fight. Didn’t she get pregnant? The couple has a good relationship.

She was injured in Yucheng last year and carefully cared for two or three months before she recovered her vitality. How long has it been? How could she get pregnant so quickly?

However, her mother was full of a loving mother's heart, and she didn't want to disobey repeatedly, so she said, "Mom, don't worry, I know."

Seeing that his daughter listened to her words, Mrs. Dou felt a little relieved. After returning home, she was in a mess again.

"lady."

A maid came over and reported in a low voice, "Aunt Zhuo had just been diagnosed with pregnancy and was clamoring to move to Dongyuan, saying that there was a spacious place, which was conducive to the maintenance of the fetus..."

Mrs. Dou stopped.

"Pregnant?"

The Dou family had split up their families last year. Without the suppression of the high hall, Master Dou became more and more unscrupulous. He took several good concubines, but even the dancer was put into the room. Aunt Zhuo was the courtesan in the yard. This year, Master Dou's 40th birthday, she came to serve the banquet, and a dance caught Master Dou's eyes. After serving him all night, he immediately opened his face and raised his concubine and gave him a title.

For this matter, Dou returned to her parents' home to make trouble.

The Dou family is considered a famous family. I have long served many noble and noble dancers like Aunt Zhuo. How could such a dirty person enter the Dou family?

But after Mrs. Dou cried, she also agreed that Dou could not help but splash water from her married daughter. What else could Dou do?

My mother kept tolerant, which made her unable to bear it and left with her sleeves.

This Zhuo family was born in a place of fireworks and willow alleys, and was quite capable. He was fascinated by Master Dou and became more and more pampered. Gradually, he became a little petty and did not take Mrs. Dou's wife seriously.

The person who is disrespectful to Mrs. Dou refers to her.

Men are greedy and lustful. Mrs. Dou understood this truth as early as the day her husband changed his mind. What is the use of crying? A man has three wives and four concubines. She is a shocking person. What else can she get besides gaining a reputation as a jealous woman?

It’s better to be her first wife peacefully. Those concubines can’t beat her anyway. She has the status of a wife and can support her children. If she angers her husband and gets a divorce letter, what should she do if her son is only twelve-year-old? What will happen if she falls into the hands of her stepmother? Even her daughter will be discriminated against at her husband’s house.

But Mrs. Dou didn't expect that Zhuo could get pregnant.

Those women in the brothels were all given decoctions, so how could they still be pregnant?

Could it be that Zhuo has never been given medicine?

She pursed her lips, looking very ugly.

"Doctor has seen it?"

"I just saw it in the morning, it's true." The maid's voice became smaller and smaller, "It's been three months."

Mrs. Dou's nails were pinched into her palms. She took a deep breath and said, "Go and go and have a look."
