Yan Rong quickly walked over to hug Xia and invited the Doctor Gong over. The Concubine Shao had already been lifted onto the green muslin bed, leaving Ling Shan, Cui Wen, and Rui Zhu kneeling on the floor.
Doctor Gong entered the door and paid respects to the old lady first, then followed Yan Rong to the Jade Curtain Cabinet.
When the Concubine Ning inside saw Yan Rong bringing in a simple and elegant person, she recognized that it was the Doctor Gong that Madame SHen was talking about, and quickly retreated to make space.
Once in and out, Concubine Ning's body brushed past him, Doctor Gong's feet paused for a moment, then she gently walked over to her bed and sat down, feeling Concubine Shao's pulse.
Three pure white fingertips gently rested on the vein on Concubine Shao's right wrist, but they were removed in less than half a minute.
After seeing Concubine Shao hold her stomach and fall, a faint clue appeared in her heart, but she was not a doctor in the end, so she was unable to confirm her thoughts. Seeing Doctor Gong retract his hand, she asked: "How is it?" His gaze fell on her face, deep and reserved.
Her pulse is like a pearl rolling on a jade plate. It's smooth and looks like it's been going on for two months." After a pause, he continued, "However, it's a bit heavy in the middle of the slide. There's a slight feeling of heaviness. It's the aura of a fetus being born." After saying so, she looked at Madam Shen. Seeing that her face didn't seem to have any expression, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Concubine Shao was pregnant.
The hand that Madame SHen was holding the handkerchief suddenly tightened, and she looked around the house.
Yan Rong brought Doctor Gong in and left. Concubine Ning was not in the room, and in the entire Jade Curtain Pavilion, other than the unconscious Concubine Shao who was lying on the soft couch, only she and Doctor Gong were left, even the door was closed.
Although there was only one door between the blue chiffon cabinet and the old woman's room, no one could hear what was being said inside if they chose to be quiet.
Madame SHen looked at the Concubine Shao who had a pale complexion and closed eyes, and frowned.
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through her mind, and her knuckles that tightly gripped the handkerchief turned white. After a moment of silence, she opened her mouth, but no words came out.
The Doctor Gong sat on the small Wooden Pellet quietly. Both of his eyes were calm like a pool as he watched the struggle on the face of the Madame SHen with rapt attention. Suddenly, a irrelevant sentence came out of her mouth, "Second Miss, you seem to have grown a lot taller compared to the last time I saw you."
Madame SHen was startled, and a small face with beautiful eyes appeared in front of him.
Lan Er was already nine years old and it was the time for her to grow up. Her new skirt had to be changed almost every month, and her little head was already about to touch her shoulders...
Her sluggish eyes inadvertently touched upon Doctor Gong's calm and emotionless eyes. Her blank mind suddenly cleared up, and she slowly exhaled. Her face regained its former tranquility, "Can we keep the baby?"
The corners of Doctor Gong's lips curled up in a faint smile, "Sure."
If Madame SHen decided to get rid of this child, she had ways to do so without anyone noticing. However, she was still unwilling to see too much blood on Madame SHen's hands, so she mentioned Second Miss.
Now that Madame SHen had finally woken up, she was truly relieved in her heart. She got up and quickly wrote down the prescriptions, and then went out with Madame SHen to talk to Old Madame Ye.
Upon learning that Concubine Shao was pregnant, the Old Madame Ye was taken aback at first, but then her brows relaxed. Before she could laugh, the corners of her mouth suddenly froze, and she slowly retreated back into her original position.
In her previous life, other than Ye Jinwei and Ye Yu, Concubine Shao did not have a third child, so why would she suddenly become pregnant? Was it not because of him?
She suddenly remembered what Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu had said in the Stainless Pavilion in the Lingji Temple that day. "Don't be too insistent on asking for everything.
Destiny, destiny!
Could it be that her mother's rescue had destroyed Concubine Shao's plan to force her into Vale so that she could escape this calamity?
A good man has no repayment, but a man who has committed many evil deeds has lived for a hundred years to enjoy wealth and glory. What kind of destiny is this!?
Jin Lan bit his lips tightly, barely stopping the fury in his heart from erupting.
With the old lady by her side, she could not reveal any inklings. Otherwise, not only would it harm her, it would harm her mother as well. Jin Lan took several deep breaths to calm himself down.
"Why is it so sudden? Previously, I didn't hear much noise, and Zhang Luo who was running up and down just now doesn't look like he's pregnant. " The Old Madame Ye said in a low voice, but his gaze was fixated on the Madame SHen's face.
Madame SHen smiled faintly, and looked at Old Madame Ye, "It's only been two months, I'm afraid she doesn't even know it herself. If not for calling Su Xin in to ask her, she would probably know a little about it. " Her eyes were calm and serene, as if the fact that the Concubine Shao was pregnant wasn't something hard for her to accept.
"Forget it. Since she doesn't even know herself, how would a maid know?" Old Madame Ye waved her hand and looked at Doctor Gong. She asked impatiently: "Can we protect the child?"
Doctor Gong nodded his head and replied, "Even though I have used my Fetal Qi, it's not too serious. As long as I recuperate for a period of time, I will naturally be safe and sound."
Jin Lan couldn't help but frown. She looked suspiciously at Doctor Gong, then at Madame SHen, and saw her face was as calm as water. There seemed to be nothing amiss. Logically speaking, Concubine Shao was pregnant, but her mother's heart was somewhat estranged, why did she look like she didn't care at all? Had something happened in the cabinet?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel some regret. Just now, why had she forgotten to follow him in?
Old Madame Ye sighed, "I can't stop worrying. It's really difficult to be a child of Ye Family, it was difficult to get pregnant but at the same time, it was careless. This time, I used the Fetal Qi, it's really …" Old Madame Ye paused, her gaze sweeping across the servants kneeling on the ground, before landing on Madame SHen.
After Madame SHen heard Old Madame Ye's words, her drooping eyelids trembled. She sneered in her heart, but her face revealed a faint look of concern, "Fortunately the doctor said that she can keep the child. As long as he recovers, he might be able to grow fat in the future … "Brother."
The Old Madame Ye nodded her head in satisfaction, "Although Chun Xiao's death had nothing to do with our Ye Family, she had still served in the palace. With that maid as a witness, I believe they wouldn't dare to cause any more trouble. " Her gaze shifted towards the servant girl who was slightly shorter on the ground, "Call the Dental Granny over, sell them all. "There's no need to play the game anymore. Just treat it as accumulating virtue for the child in her womb."
Just as she finished speaking, Cui Wen and Rui Zhu started crying and begging for forgiveness. Yan Rong would never allow them to argue with the Old Madame Ye, so she quickly got someone to cover her mouth and drag them down.
Before Ling Shan was pulled out of the door, she suddenly turned her head to look at Madame SHen, only to see her nodding slightly.
After the servants left, Doctor Gong also stood up to take his leave. Old Madame Ye naturally had Yan Rong to bestow them with rewards, and without being polite, she accepted the rewards and looked at Madame SHen again, then followed Yan Rong and left the Jiayu Hall.
The room suddenly became empty. Other than Old Madame Ye, Madame SHen and Jin Lan, there was no one else.
The happiness that the Ye Family was about to bring about caused Old Madame Ye to have trouble hiding her smile, and even the way she looked at Concubine Ning became a lot friendlier, "You should go back too, next time, don't cause trouble, and be more alert in the future. Those servant girls in the houses should always be on their guard.
Concubine Ning bowed her head, bent down, and responded in a low voice: "Yes, this servant will remember the old lady's teachings." With that, she did not stay any longer and left the house with light footsteps. She turned around and returned to her own courtyard.
Old Madame Ye's smile slowly faded as sshshelooked at Madame SHen, who was sitting upright on her three-screen chair, with an inexplicable expression on her face. After a long while, he sighed, "In the end, I'm getting old, and my body's bones are getting worse every day." As she spoke, he rubbed her sore shoulder.
Seeing that, Jin Lan stood up and walked behind Old Madame Ye, extending his hand to help her hit her chest. He smiled sweetly and said: "Grandmother's body is strong, you will definitely live for a hundred years."
Her kind words instantly made the gloom around Old Madame Ye's face dissipate quite a bit. She held Jin Lan's hand and pulled him back into her embrace, "Look at this mouth, did you steal some honey?"
Jin Lan blinked his bright eyes, feigning suspicion. "How did Grandmother know I drank osmanthus honey today?"
Old Madame Ye was amused by Jin Lan and started laughing. The cold atmosphere in the room immediately became active.
After the grandfather and grandson talked for a while, the Old Madame Ye looked at Madame SHen again, "The Lu family will let her rest at Bright Autumn Pavilion until the production time.
After entering the palace, she changed her name to Shaoyin, and as a result, after being supported into an aunt, she was called Concubine Shao.
The meaning of the Old Madame Ye was to restrict the Concubine Shao and give the authority of being a butler to the Madame SHen, so that the Madame SHen would not pursue the matter any further.
As expected, in the old lady's eyes, a son was better than anything else. The mockery in Madame SHen's eyes flashed by as he nodded his head indifferently, "I'll do as old lady says."
Old Madame Ye seemed to be very satisfied with Madame SHen's reaction, and after conversing with her for a while longer, she finally stood up and took her leave, and Jin Lan naturally left with her.
After Madame SHen brought Jin Lan away, his loving expression suddenly darkened, and he ordered Yan Rong: "Go and invite the old master."
