Chapter 84 Part 1: Pregnant

 

^^

 

"Yan Wang didn't know that Wangfei is pregnant?" The imperial physician was very surprised. When he checked Lin Wei Xi’s pulse just now the pregnancy was more than a month, and everyone in the room was calm, he thought the mansion already knew about this. The primary wife’s pregnancy was a huge matter, especially for imperial family like this. A di blood line was difficult to get, and now Wangfei was pregnant, of course, the whole family had already made offering since earlier time.

 

The imperial physician really did not expect that Yan Wang didn't even know.

 

Gu Hui Yan stopped in place and stood still, and with great difficulty slowly recovered from the news. He skipped the imperial physician’s question and asked directly: "How long has she been... pregnant?"

 

Although Gu Hui Yan didn't say whether he knew or not, his expression answered everything. The imperial physician tactfully did not ask, but replied: "Wangfei have been pregnant for more than a month, roughly one and a half months."

 

One and a half months, that was when they were still in the capital. Gu Hui Yan couldn't tell how he felt in his heart. He and Lin Wei Xi get along well on normal days, but when it touch the topic of children, she would become cold. Gu Hui Yan thought Lin Wei Xi was unwilling, so he never mentioned it. He thought that he already had an heir, it didn't really matter whether he had other children or not. Gu Hui Yan thought he didn't care, but when he really heard the news, Gu Hui Yan realized that deep down he was looking forward to it.

 

In fact, he really wanted Lin Wei Xi to give birth to children that belong to them. If it’s a boy, he would teach him to study and read, teach him the art of war and strategies. If it’s a girl, then she definitely would have round face and round eye, just like Lin Wei Xi. How could he not look forward to such delicate baby?

 

For the first time in so many years, Gu Hui Yan almost lost him composure. He stood there for a long time, waiting for the violent energy in his mind to pass before daring to speak. But barely asking a few words, his heart suddenly fell.

 

He liked this godsend’s surprise very much, but what about Lin Wei Xi? She didn't like to hear him mention the topic of children. She should be unwilling to have children, or maybe she didn't want to have children with him. If after she woke up she heard that she was unexpectedly pregnant, how would she react?

 

Gu Hui Yan didn't know, nor did he want to know.

 

Gu Hui Yan suddenly was not in the mood to listen to the imperial physician’s explanation about the taboos during pregnancy. He just moved his hands and his personal attendant understood, immediately led the imperial physician out. Outside there was a special person who keep track of what Wangfei should pay attention to during pregnancy.

 

The imperial physician gave Gu Hui Yan a salute, and slowly retreated to the outside room. When he left, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, Wangfei pregnant was a huge matter, but Yan Wang didn't know. Why did his expression brighten up when he heard the news, then in a blink of an eye his face sank? The imperial physician shook his head, ordinary people like him didn't really understand the mind of this kind of family.

 

Wangfei's pregnancy was like a thunderstorm hitting everyone's heads. Until now, many people's minds were dumbfounded. Gu Cheng Yao was stunned when he heard the news. Lin Wei Xi was pregnant?

 

Gu Cheng Yao had never realized so strongly that she was his stepmother. Now she was pregnant with his father's child.

 

Gao Ran came with the maids leisurely. She anticipated that Lin Wei Xi would have a big trouble today, so she especially went back to her house to changed clothes and watched Lin Wei Xi's jokes with respect. Of course, Gao Ran's excuse was to personally cook porridge for her mother-in-law.

 

Gao Ran smiled faintly from the corner of her mouth. When she walked to the gate, she took the food box from Ning Fu and walked into the main room with the porridge. The atmosphere in the room was really solemn, and Gao Ran's heart became more and more joyful. She pretended not to notice, opened her eyes innocently, and asked softly: "Shizi, has the doctor gone? I just went to cook the porridge, even didn’t hear the result of pulse diagnosis by the imperial physician. Actually what happened to mother?"

 

Gao Ran faintly looked forward to it. The best thing to hear was Lin Wei Xi's frustration, arguing with Yan Wang, and finally being reproached by Yan Wang. No woman could calm down after learning about her husband and his white moonlight first love. Lin Wei Xi had better quarrel with Yan Wang, annoyed Yan Wang and offended Gu Cheng Yao at the same time. How important was Shen shi's position in Yan Wang Mansion, Gao Ran wanted Lin Wei Xi to always remember that she was just a substitute, she could never replace Shen shi's position in Yan Wang's heart.

 

This was the retribution for how Lin Wei Xi arbitrarily meddled with Duke Yingguo’s adoption matters, ruining her brother's good future. Gao Ran in any case was still the person Gu Cheng Yao wanted to marry from the very beginning, but Lin Wei Xi was just a dispensable stand-in. Yan Wang married her only because he liked her face.

 

When Gao Ran thought that Lin Wei Xi would live in the shadow of Shen shi forever, she was so happy that she laughed. If she could see Lin Wei Xi’s frustration, then it was not a waste for Gao Ran to painstakingly plan for several days, and put all her thoughts to use Shen shi’s matter to stab Lin Wei Xi.

 

Gao Ran tenderly smiled and looked at Gu Cheng Yao. Gu Cheng Yao didn’t know why he couldn't tell. He turned his face and didn't want to say the words. Gao Ran was embarrassed by Gu Cheng Yao's obvious ignorance, embarrassment mixed with resentment. The servant on the side saw that Shizi Consort was carrying a food box, stood unattended in the center and was put on the spot, she hurriedly step forward to mediate, "Shizi Consort, the imperial physician said that Wangfei has a slippery pulse. These few days needs to pay attention to warmth, the rest also not serious."

 

Gao Ran subconsciously smiled and responded, she was about to continue talking, suddenly her mind got stuck, and slowly reacted: "Slippery pulse?"

 

The granny thought Shizi Consort had not given birth yet, so she didn't know what slippery pulse means, so she could only say more bluntly: "Slippery pulse means happy pulse. Wangfei is pregnant."

 

Gao Ran was really dumbfounded on the spot, Lin Wei Xi was pregnant? How could it be possible, she entered the door half a year earlier than Lin Wei Xi, but she has not pregnant. How could Lin Wei Xi be so fast?

 

The granny thought that Gao Ran's unbelievable expression was because of surprise and embarrassment. Gao Ran had been married for more than a year, but in the end, there was no news of her stomach. Instead, the mother-in-law who entered the door later got pregnant first. This kind of thing was very embarrassing to any daughter-in-law.

 

The granny was amazed at the similarly-aged mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she also felt that this incident was simply an impressive sight. In ordinary household which mother-in-law didn’t live like half-widow, stare at their son and daughter-in-law impatiently every day, the whole family expected the young couple deliver the good news soon. Unexpectedly, in Yan Wang Mansion it was the opposite. The daughter-in-law came to congratulate her mother-in-law, it was really strange.

 

The granny’ eyes secretly glanced at Yan Wang, then turned to Gu Cheng Yao, her heart couldn’t stop gossiping. Your father is indeed your father, in every respect Yan Wang was a model for Shizi.

 

Gao Ran faintly expected Lin Wei Xi to have a fall out with Yan Wang, but instead she heard such a result. The gap was so great that she could not stand firmly. Gao Ran's face immediately sank, almost unable to control it. Gao Ran hurriedly lowered her head to cover it up. She looked at the food container in her hand, feeling extremely ironic in her heart.

 

The mistress was expecting, this was such a great thing, but the three masters of the mansion had different thoughts, and the atmosphere in the room was also strangely silent. The servants looked at each other, even if they wanted to congratulate the master to get the red envelope, they dare not mention it now.
