Chapter 453: Pregnant

She had originally thought that as long as she lowered herself, sincerely apologized to Yu Youyao, and gave the embroidery screen to Old Madam when she was happy, Old Madam would forgive her.

...

Not to mention that the restriction on the Hanlu Courtyard would be immediately lifted.

At the very least, she should express some intention.

But!

It was true that Old Madam was happy, but why hadn’t everything gone as she had expected?

Nanny Liu couldn’t help but sigh inwardly—

How could Old Madam bear to lock her granddaughter in the courtyard and let the nanny in the Education Department torture her?

It was also because Yu Qingning was too outrageous. She had no respect at all.

As her grandmother, how could Old Madam watch her take the wrong path? She definitely had to try her best to teach her a lesson while she was still young!

Fourth Miss had been locked up for half a year. This time, she had indeed improved and her words and actions were a little smart.

However, her thoughts were too shallow.

As soon as Eldest Miss entered, she revealed her thoughts.

No matter how well she embroidered the screen or how pious the scriptures were, she was not sincerely filial to Old Madam. Instead, she wanted to remove the restriction of the Hanlu Residence through filial piety. Even though she was very filial, she was also 70% scheming.

How could Old Madam be really happy?

Fourth Miss was a little smart, but Eldest Madam Yang had raised her too narrow-mindedly.

What a pity.

There was silence in the room. Yu Youyao changed the topic. “Grandmother, do you know why I was a little late just now?”

If she hadn’t said it, Old Madam Yu really hadn’t expected that no matter how busy the family was, Yao Yao would always be the first to come over. She only arrived late today after everyone was present.

Seeing the joy in her eyes, Old Madam Yu quickly asked, “Is there any happy news at home?”

This time, even Yu Jianjia couldn’t help but put down her teacup and look at Yu Youyao.

Yu Qingning did not look too good. She felt that Yu Youyao was deliberately stealing her limelight.

Yu Youyao smiled. “Grandmother, you’re wise. You guessed it right.”

Old Madam Yu glared at her. “Don’t keep us in suspense. Tell us what it is.”

Yu Youyao handed a cup of tea to her grandmother and said, “This morning, Concubine Qiu from the Rain Autumn Courtyard vomited non-stop. Her maidservant came over to report that as it was the Mid -Autumn Festival today, it wasn’t appropriate to invite a doctor over, so I sent Nanny Xu over to take a look. She was indeed pregnant. Two months pregnant. As soon as I received the news, I came over immediately.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Jianjia’s throat itched, but she resisted the urge to cough.

Concubine Qiu was pregnant?

How could that be?

Ever since her mother gave birth to her fourth brother, her father had not had any other children.

However, on careful thought, it made sense for Concubine Qiu to be pregnant.

Concubine He was locked up in the small courtyard, and her mother was also locked up in the Tranquil Heart Residence. Concubine Qiu was the only concubine serving him.

It was impossible for her father to always fool around with concubines, so Concubine Qiu took up most of her father’s time.

As soon as she heard this news, Old Madam Yu was pleasantly surprised. “This is really good news. Ever since Brother Si was born, Father hasn’t had any children for a long time. Our family is a little small after all.” Her tone was a little agitated. As she spoke, she looked at Yu Youyao. “Good child, you’re the one who thought it through and got someone to prepare medicinal cuisine to nourish Lady Qiu’s body. This is all your credit.”

After Yang Shuwan entered the Tranquil Heart Residence, she stopped using the child prevention medicine.

It had been a few months, but there had been no progress. She couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable.

She did not expect that such a good thing would always come on a good day.

Yu Youyao smiled and said, “You flatter me. Such a big matter like having children is a blessing that can only be accumulated by virtue. It’s obvious that it’s Grandmother’s contribution by eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures all year round.”

Yang Bowan was someone who did not take things lightly. When she was in charge, although she did not give her father’s concubine some child prevention soup openly, she did give her a lot of cold things.

As time passed and the concubine’s’ bodies turned cold, and it was not easy for them to get pregnant.

She could also recuperate a little with some medicinal cuisine.

Old Madam Yu did not argue about this. She had seen what Yao Yao had done after managing the household. “How’s Concubine Qiu’s health? Is this pregnancy stable?”

If it weren’t for her status, she would have gone straight to the Rain Autumn Courtyard to take a look.

Yu Youyao said, “Grandmother, don’t worry. Nanny Xu said that Concubine Qiu is in good health. She’s almost three months pregnant, but she’s been silent. It’s obvious that she’s stable. It’s also because it’s the Mid-Autumn Festival today that she’s making a fuss about reuniting with the family. However, for the sake of caution, I asked Concubine Qiu to rest in the house and not let her walk around. We’ll talk about it tomorrow when the doctor enters the residence.”

Now that Concubine Qiu was pregnant, she could be considered to have a child. On a day like the Mid -Autumn Festival, she had the right to come out and liven up the residence.

However, considering that Concubine Qiu had just discovered that she was pregnant and had yet to be seen by the doctor, she did not let her come out.

However, she had just given Concubine Qiu a lot of food and clothes to show how much she valued her.

Old Madam Yu became excited again. “Good, good, good. That’s how it should be done. It’s a great thing for Concubine Qiu to help Eldest Master spread his roots.” She turned around and instructed Nanny Liu, “Pick six pieces of good cloth, two boxes of tea leaves, two kilograms of bird’s nest, six-colored pastries, and so on. Also, send some gold and silver jewelry to Concubine Qiu. Tell her to recuperate carefully. If she can give birth to a child for Master, the family will definitely not let her down.”

Nanny Liu quickly went down to settle it.

Old Madam Yu instructed, “She’s not even three months pregnant, so the news can’t leave the house. It’s fine if the few of you hear it, but don’t say anything.

You can’t tell anyone until three months later.”

Only her family knew that she was not even three months pregnant.

Yu Youyao was the first to smile. “Grandmother, don’t worry. I’ve already warned everyone in the Rain Autumn Courtyard. We’re all family. It’ll be safe.”

Yu Jianjia felt terrible, but she smiled happily. “It’s really a great thing that

Concubine Qiu can help Father.”

If her mother had not entered the Tranquil Heart Residence, she would definitely not have allowed Concubine Qiu to have more children for her father. After all, if it was a boy, Fourth Brother would no longer be the only man in the residence. Her father would also have to give away a lot of his attention.

Her father had not had any children for many years, and Concubine Qiu was doted on by her father. Even if she was a girl, she was very doted on by her father.

Yu Qingning did not feel anything in her heart, but she still wanted to please Old Madam. “Grandmother’s health has been getting stronger recently. If this child is a boy and Grandmother raises him, perhaps more than ten years later, our family will have another important minister like Second Uncle.”

Her granddaughter said such flattering words.

Old Madam Yu was also amused.

At this moment, Madam Yao led the family into the house, and there was immediate silence..
