A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Li Chaoyun had just woken up and heard Danju's words clearly, but he didn't understand what they meant and looked at her in confusion.

When Danju reached out to help her, he quietly pinched her arm and gave her a look.

Then he explained: "Princess, the doctor has examined your pulse and found that you are pregnant with the young master's child for more than a month."

"No wonder you always said you were not feeling well these days. It turned out to be such a happy event. If the young master knew about this, he would rest in peace."

She said this to give Li Chaoyun enough time to think. Fortunately, Li Chaoyun was a thoughtful person, and he understood what was going on as soon as he heard Danju's words.

When the old lady saw her waking up, she came closer.

A servant brought a brocade stool over, and the old lady sat down beside the small couch, holding Li Chaoyun's hand and speaking.

"How come I didn't even know I was pregnant? It must be the blessing of our ancestors that Zhao'er has an heir."

"Take good care of your pregnancy and give birth to this child. You will be a hero to the Shen family."

Li Chaoyun's mind raced. Of course, this child was not Shen Zhao's, but this child came at the right time. She could just take this opportunity to stay in the Shen family and get the property of the Shen family's eldest house, so that she could explain it to the prince.

In an instant, Li Chaoyun's eyes turned red. He held the old lady's hand and choked up, saying, "Grandma..."

Seeing her sad, the old lady guessed that she was thinking of Shen Zhao, so she patted her hands and comforted her, "Good child, don't cry, grandma will take care of everything."

"Don't worry, this child will be the heir to the Shen family's eldest house when he is born. The Shen family will not treat you and your child unfairly."

Although Shen Cheng is now considered the eldest son of the wife, he cannot be compared with Shen Zhao.

If Shen Zhao's child is a boy, he would be the eldest son and grandson of the first wife, and would be extremely precious.

Li Chaoyun nodded, then looked past the old lady at Shen Cheng, then touched her belly, "The Fifth Young Master almost hurt the child."

Although he didn't say it explicitly, it was obvious that he hoped the old lady would punish Shen Cheng.

The old lady pondered and said nothing. She didn't want to punish Shen Cheng, nor did she want to make Li Chaoyun sad.

Su Qingyu stepped forward and said, "Mother, the Fifth Young Master was also frightened today. Why don't we let Madam Xiang take him away first and give him some soothing soup."

"The princess also needs to return to Hanshui Court to take care of her pregnancy. In addition, whether to ask Doctor Zhang to help with the pregnancy or to invite another doctor who is good at gynecology, mother needs to make a decision."

The old lady thought what Su Qingyu said made sense, so she waved her hand and signaled Xiangdong to take Shen Cheng away first.

Su Qingyu also gave Xiangdong a wink, and Xiangdong nodded and left with Shen Cheng.

Li Chaoyun was unable to utter a word, and said angrily, "I'm afraid that others will follow my example in the future. How can I keep this baby safe?"

When she said this, she looked at Su Qingyu. Su Qingyu was the head lady of the family, and even for the sake of the heirs of the Shen family's eldest house, she had to coax her.

Su Qingyu secretly rolled her eyes and said, "Mother, people in the mansion naturally don't dare to offend the princess. But I'm afraid that the princess will be reminded of her when she sees the things in the mansion. Will it be more harmful to the fetus?"

"My daughter-in-law thinks that the princess doesn't seem to want to stay in the Shen family to have a baby. My daughter-in-law wants to ask for a favor on her behalf. Why don't we let her go back to the Shanning Marquis's mansion to have a baby? When she gives birth safely, we will bring her back."

As Su Qingyu spoke, she gave Shen Zhixiu another look.

Shen Zhixiu understood what she meant and advised, "Mother, Qingyu has some truth in what she said. Nothing else matters right now. The most important thing is that the princess gives birth to the child safely."

"No matter where the baby is, it is the Shen family's child. As long as the baby is well, we should give in to these matters of etiquette."

Li Chaoyun sat on the couch stiffly for a moment. What did they mean? Were they going to kick her out of the Shen family?

She didn't know that Su Qingyu saw through her intentions and just thought that she and her husband couldn't tolerate her.

Seeing that the old lady was really interested, Li Chaoyun had to explain: "Aunt San misunderstood, my niece didn't mean that."

Then he said to the old lady, "Grandma, I am taking care of my baby in Hanshui Courtyard. That is where his father lived."

As she spoke, she touched her belly which had not yet bulged, with a slightly sad look on her face as if she was reminiscing about Shen Zhao.

The old lady felt even more pity for Li Chaoyun and held his hand with tears in her eyes.

Afterwards, he ordered someone to bring a sedan chair over. The old lady and Su Qingyu also got on the sedan chair and went to Hanshuiyuan with Li Chaoyun.

It was not convenient for Shen Zhixiu to go, so he went straight back to the west courtyard.

Second Madam Yang heard the news and also went to Hanshuiyuan to visit.

When I went in, Li Chaoyun was drinking pregnancy-preserving medicine, and the old lady and Su Qingyu were sitting beside her.

Seeing her come in, Li Chaoyun wanted to stand up and greet her, but was stopped by Yang.

"You can't be careless now. We are all family, so why should we be polite?"

Yang sat down next to Su Qingyu and asked about Li Chaoyun's health with concern.

After chatting for a while, the old lady said hesitantly: "You are in mourning and should be a vegetarian. But you can be a vegetarian, and the baby in your belly..."

The old lady is not a person who sticks to the old ways. She has experienced so many things in her life and has long since let go. In her opinion, living people are the most important.

The most important thing at the moment is for Li Chaoyun to give birth to the baby safely. If the ancestors could speak, they would let her take good care of the pregnancy, and would not be picky about whether she ate vegetarian food and observed mourning.

Moreover, mourning is a matter of sincerity. There are many people in Beijing who eat vegetarian food on the surface while mourning, but do dirty things behind the scenes.

Li Chaoyun understood what the old lady meant and said quickly, "Grandma, I and my child will mourn for our father, mother and the eldest master together. It is also a good deed for a child to show filial piety."

When the old lady heard what Li Chaoyun said, she was worried about her health, but she was also relieved that she was sensible. Especially the sentence about mourning with the child moved the old lady.

Li Chaoyun added, "My mother has not been in good health recently. I think I should go back and stay for a few days every month. I beg Grandmother to agree."

In fact, Li Chaoyun was thinking about going back to meet Chen Ping in private. She absolutely didn't dare to let Chen Ping come to the Shen family, so she could only go back from time to time.

The old lady smiled and said, "What's the big deal? Just go back if you miss home."

For fear of disturbing Li Chaoyun's rest, after giving everything, the old lady took Su Qingyu and Yang away.

When Su Qingyu returned to the west courtyard, Shen Zhizheng was drawing something in the small study.

He didn't even notice her coming in. Or maybe he realized it was her, so he didn't look up.

Su Qingyu walked to his side and her eyes fell on the drawing paper in the middle of the desk.

"What is the Third Master drawing?"

The tone of her question was different from before, as if she was a little bit incredulous.

Shen Zhizheng was adjusting the colors and said this casually.

"This is a string of beads I made for Master Ci'en. I thought I'd make you another string to ward off evil spirits."

Su Qingyu recalled the scene when she received the seven-treasure beads from Master Ci'en. The master said with a tired face that he had spent several nights polishing them.

"I have seen my beads. The master said he made them himself. Isn't it said that monks don't tell lies?" Su Qingyu said in a low voice.

Shen Zhixiu laughed and shook his head.

"He did spend several nights there, but it was because he watched me and I worked on it."

"Sometimes, we can't trust Master Ci'en's words completely. He even lied to me, saying that I would not waste my time on this string of beads. He also said that it could lead to my true love. Don't you think he was just talking nonsense?"
