"Do you know what it is?" The Xiao Clan asked.
"This servant doesn't know, but the madame said it was a joyous occasion." The old woman who had just arrived answered as she stood by the door.
"A joyous occasion?" Lian Shiya's face revealed a puzzled expression. "Mom, tell me, what happy occasion do you think our Prime Minister's Estate will have right now?"
Madam Xiao clutched her stomach, feeling that she had finally succeeded in impregnating her child. "There's no such thing as a happy occasion as mine. After we get back from Qing An Courtyard, let Senior Servant Dong take a good look before making this matter public."
"Father hasn't had a child in years. When the time comes, Mother's status will increase, and Father's love for Mother will be the same as before." Lian Shiya was overjoyed.
"Let's go and take a look over there."
Madam Xiao had intentionally changed into a festive outfit. Her rouge red dress was embroidered with gold sleeves, and she wore a yellow embroidered lotus leaf dress. She also wore a scarlet gold landscape with a phoenix hairpin and a ruby earring.
Lian Shiya had been ordered not to wear red by the Princess of An, and now she could only wear plain colors, the brightest was also purple. But Zi Shiya also found it difficult to look old, so she reluctantly wore a Precious Blue Chicken Heart embroidered with plum blossoms, a pink, blue, white button-down tunic, and a yellow long skirt.
Along the way to the gates of Qingan Courtyard, Madam Xiao's mood became even more relaxed. She couldn't help but smile, and the ordinary scenes of the past were especially pleasing to the eyes.
When they arrived at Qingan Courtyard, they saw the maids and their wives standing outside. There were two or three maids feeding the golden birds under the eaves, while Senior Servant Zhou and Senior Servant Song were whispering something to each other.
When they saw the Xiao family's old patriarch come, everyone stood properly and bowed respectfully. "Madam."
"Yes." Even these servants, who usually couldn't stand to watch, didn't seem to find it that annoying today.
As soon as she entered, she saw her mother sitting in a large rosewood chair with emeralds embedded on her forehead. She wore a gown with a golden flowers in the collar of an auspicious and auspicious fashion, and her face was also filled with an unconcealable joy. The first wife, second wife, and third wife were all there, standing by the side of the old lady as usual. The first wife, for some reason, was blushing slightly.
"Madam, eldest lady."
Lian Shiya also leisurely walked forward. "Grandmother, mother, aunt, elder sister …"
After the two of them sat down, their mother spoke, "Since everyone is here, I shall announce a joyous event. Speaking of which, this is the greatest joyous event that has happened to our Prime Minister's Estate in recent years."
"Mother, don't keep me guessing. My heart has been stuck in my throat for a long time. Just say it, don't make my wife nervous." Mrs Liu was used to making jokes without hurting Da Ya, so even her mother was not really angry.
"Alright, alright, I've said it." Lian Xi's mother stretched out her hand, and Lian Xi silently took the teacup from her hand and put it aside.
"Please speak." The wives all looked at their mother, some expectant, some doubtful.
"Hahahahaha …" Even her mother burst into laughter before she could say anything. Everyone felt discouraged again.
"Mother!" Mrs Liu pretended to be angry.
"Alright, alright. I've really said it. Doctor Lu has already examined the concubine who is pregnant. It has been two months!" The smile lines at the corner of her eyes were almost flying.
"What?" Such a good thing happened! "Aiya, no wonder mother is so happy. This is truly a heavenly joyous occasion. Congratulations eldest sister-in-law, congratulations eldest sister-in-law, you're going to add another layer to our Prime Minister's Estate!" Mrs Liu seemed to feel the joy as she immediately stood up and walked to the front of the first wife, explaining.
The first wife slightly blushed. "Third Sister-in-Law usually speaks, but she's pregnant, so it's hard to tell if they're male or female."
"I like girls too. I don't worry about the children that you have taught me. They are just like the girls we have taught. They are well-informed and smart." Lian Mu held Lian Ru Yue's hand and said happily.
"Grandmother always likes to entertain the moon." Lian Ru Yue lightly smiled as her face reddened. Her eyes seemed to inadvertently flash past the Xiao family's mother and daughter pair's slightly pale complexion. The corner of her mouth lifted into an imperceptible trace of ridicule.
Second Wife Hu was slightly taken aback. She had not expected the art to be so big, and this sister-in-law was still pregnant. Thinking of her, even if Yun Lang was gone, her heart was still half dead. Her heart was filled with bitterness.
"Eldest sister-in-law's life is truly much better than mine!" As he spoke, he took the handkerchief and began to wipe his tears.
"On such a good day, what are you crying for? Suck in your sister-in-law's happiness, and you can have another one this year."
"Yes, Mother is right." Hu Shi quickly raised her hand to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes. She knew that if she really cried, even her mother would be angry.
The face of the Xiao family's old patriarch, who was sitting opposite to her, paled as he clenched his fists tightly. A feeling of unhappiness welled up in his heart.
He couldn't accept it!
She was unwilling!
After some thought, her stomach finally started moving again. However, it was also at this time that Rongxue got pregnant! Since Rong Xue was the principal wife and the madame was paying so much attention to her, her child must be the focus of everyone's attention before he was born!
And herself! Not only could he not enjoy the glory of being pregnant alone, he was afraid that it would be ignored.
Why?
Why did the heavens make such a joke with her? She was unwilling! She was unwilling!
Even Lian Shiya was stunned. Just a moment ago, she was still filled with joy, but who would have thought that even Yueyue's mother was pregnant. Seeing how her grandmother favored them so much, the other aunts surrounded them as well.
Her heart was extremely uncomfortable. Thus, without the Xiao Clan's consent, she stood up and loudly said:
"Grandmother, mother, actually my mother and I also have a happy occasion to tell you."
"Ya Er …" Lady Xiao was startled, but it was already too late to stop her. Lian Shiya loudly said, "My mother is also pregnant, and it's already been two months."
Once Shi Ya's words came out, everyone in the room immediately quietened down. They all turned their heads to look at the Xiao Clan's stomach. The Xiao Clan's face was slightly hot as they placed their hands on their stomachs.
Even her mother was surprised for a moment before she asked, "Are you really pregnant?" His attitude and tone were completely different from when he had heard that the first wife was pregnant, and he was even a bit puzzled.
"Grandmother, of course it's true! How could something like that be fake? " Lian Shiya frowned slightly as she spoke.
When Lian Rou saw Lian Shiya's attitude, a hint of displeasure flashed past her eyes as she said, "If you're pregnant, you should have told me earlier. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to come here and take care of your body. It's a great thing that these two people are pregnant at the same time. "
Aiya, you really are a happy couple. You just became an equal wife, and not long after that, you became pregnant again. Mrs Liu said loudly. It was clearly a congratulatory remark, but hearing it made her smile turn cold.
