My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Aunt Dou didn't want to cause any trouble when she was about to move. Otherwise, asking Mrs. Wei next door to cause trouble would not be a delay in her luck.

Du Jingyi also knew what she meant, so he smiled and said nothing more.

Two days later, the sky gradually darkened.

People in Dongyuan were lighting lamps one after another, and Shang Jicai entered the door of Xitang Courtyard with a chill in his eyes.

When I first came back, I didn't go straight to the main house, but to the side room.

His body was covered with either wind, snow or dust, so he naturally needed to wash himself off, otherwise, it would be too rough compared to the lady's fragrant and soft texture.

Therefore, he was rinsing in the ear room, which woke up Du Jingyi who was already asleep.

I don’t know if it’s due to winter sleepiness or changes in her body, but in short, her days of snoozing are becoming more and more common.

Sometimes, I sleep most of the day, as if I can't get enough sleep.

Seeing this, Aunt Dou explained that this was normal, so Du Jingyi found an excuse to fall asleep and fell asleep.

And no one in the entire Xitang Courtyard commented.

After all, to the outside world, Du Jingyi was recuperating, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with sleeping every day.

Since returning from Du's house last month, she has not left the house and claimed to be ill.

Not only her, but every one of the countless masters in Dongyuan was sick, and it seemed as if they were infected.

The servants in Dongyuan were all trying to cover it up in a secretive manner, but the more they did so, the more strange and suspicious they became to outsiders.

The first one to bear the brunt of this was the third-bedroom apartment still living in Beiyuan, and I was terribly frightened.

After all, speaking truthfully, in the entire Duke's Mansion, the closest to Dongyuan is Beiyuan.

Moreover, there are more than ten members of their family living in this place, so even turning over would be difficult.

If they are really infected by these sick young people in Dongyuan, wouldn't it be difficult to spend the next two New Years?

Therefore, I burned incense every day and begged Dongyuan to move out as soon as possible.

Maybe then, they can use the excuse that Beiyuan is too crowded and move to Dongyuan.

The abacus is very good, but it is of no use.

On the contrary, this move made Mrs. Wei, who was already preparing to take action, a little more confused.

Even though it is known that they are mostly pretending to be ill, the purpose behind this is still unclear.

Du Jingyi didn't have much time to care about other people's thoughts at this moment.

So after getting up sleepily, he asked.

But the general is back?

When Cherry heard the voice, she walked up quickly, stuffed a pillow behind her, and replied respectfully.

Well, the general is back and is washing up in the wing. I guess he should be fine by now.

Their generals wash up so quickly that sometimes they finish without even finishing a cup of tea.

But he returns quickly, but he is also careful and serious.

Cherry has been working on this point for a while, and she still understands it clearly.

Sure enough, after she brought warm water over and gave Du Jingyi a few sips, the door of the room was pushed open, but quickly closed again.

The one who walked in was Shang Ji who had already washed himself.

Her hair was damp, but her body was no longer as cold as when she came back.

The whole person is more heroic than half a month ago.

The wind and snow made the journey back and forth very difficult, so Shang Ji didn't come back for several days because he was afraid of delaying his business.

The moment Du Jingyi saw him, he was surprised at first, and then suddenly his nose became sore for some unknown reason, and his tears were like broken beads, which immediately made Shang Ji look surprised.

He walked up quickly and asked worriedly.

What's wrong? Are you sick?

He raised his hand to touch her forehead and found that the temperature was indeed slightly high.

And isn’t it time for dinner?

Why is she still lying on the bed?

Du Jingyi's anxious look made him feel even more heartbroken, so he muttered something.

I'm not sick. I just cry and laugh sometimes these days. I can't seem to control my emotions. But I asked Aunt Dou and she said it's normal.

Shang Ji obviously didn't believe this.

Even though he couldn't control his emotions, he still said it was normal, and immediately gave orders to Cherry.

Go and ask Dr. Guo from Herbal Medicine Hall to consult Madam.

Cherry looked at her wife with some embarrassment. They didn't want to let the matter out, so they didn't know what to do.

Seeing her embarrassment, Du Jingyi pulled Shang Ji's sleeve and said to help Ying Tao.

No, it's nothing serious. Cherry, please go down first. I have something to say to the general.

Yes, young lady.

Cherry naturally knew what the young lady was going to do, so she hurriedly walked out with the corners of her mouth raised.

The general's journey was full of dust, and he probably hadn't eaten yet, so she decided to ask Danruo to prepare some good wine and food. It was a good day to celebrate!

Shang Ji took a look at her excited steps as she left.

Therefore, I find it very strange that he has not returned home for half a month and seems to be a little different.

Looking at the lady's face, she couldn't say yes, but it didn't look like she was sick, so she asked after Cherry went out.

But because of Mrs. Wei's affairs, you pretended to be sick again?

Hearing this, Du Jingyi nodded, but then shook his head, which made Shang Ji feel even more strange.

What's the meaning?

It's true that I'm pretending to be sick, but it's also true that I'm not feeling well. That's why I'm nodding and shaking my head.

If you're not feeling well, you're still sick.

After saying this, he suddenly thought of something and said immediately.

Do you have abdominal pain? I asked the kitchen to bring you a bowl of brown sugar water. I heard that drinking that is good for women with Yuexin Syndrome.

Hearing this, Du Jingyi was a little shocked.

How did the general know?

I once saw my third uncle in the army personally preparing a bowl for my aunt, so...

When he talked about caring for his family this time, he was not as sad as before. He might have been talking about something obscure, so he was a little embarrassed.

However, this look made Du Jingyi laugh again.

The general has misunderstood. I didn't send you a letter, but I haven't sent a letter for almost two months.

not coming?

meaning is……

The first thought that flashed through Shang Ji's mind was that her body was short of energy and blood, which was why she was like this.

But looking left and right, they didn't seem to look alike, so I slowly came back to my senses.

His eyes went from confusion to disbelief. It was not until he saw the smile in Du Jingyi's eyes that he became convinced.

He swallowed a little, his tongue was a little knotted.

Are you pregnant?

Du Jingyi smiled and nodded, and then explained.

I felt unwell a few days ago, so I asked Grandma Dou to find a reliable doctor from outside to see her. She said that she was almost two months pregnant. She originally wanted to report it to the general, but she was afraid that there would be someone in the middle. Make trouble, that’s why I waited until today.”
