Chapter 430 Two people and one team go to the General's Mansion to rest during pregnancy
Chu Ruohan sighed softly and took Yuling's hand: "Yuling, I know your feelings and I understand your loyalty to me. However, marriage and childbirth are a woman's nature, and I cannot ruin your life because of my own selfishness."
She paused, her tone gentle yet firm: "If we can find a good family, you can both settle down and continue to serve me in the household. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"
Yu Ling looked up, somewhat surprised: "This...this can work?"
Chu Ruohan smiled: "Of course. I can't bear to part with you, but as for this person, we need to choose carefully."
Yu Ling lowered her head and remained silent; young women are easily embarrassed...
"Sister, I'd better go back and rest first," Chu Yueshu said, getting up. "Yingqing will be back later today, so I need to prepare properly."
Chu Ruohan nodded: "Okay, get some rest. If you need anything, just send someone to find me."
Chu Yueshu took her leave, and Song Ruyan also pulled Doctor Qian out with her, saying they wanted to "discuss the marriage arrangements" properly.
The room returned to calm. Chu Ruohan looked at the sleeping Qingchen in the wet nurse's arms, and then at Xuan Ge'er who was playing. A sense of satisfaction welled up in her heart.
"Madam, it's time to change Miss's diaper," the wet nurse said softly.
Chu Ruohan nodded: "You go and prepare the hot water first, I'll hold her."
She carefully took her daughter, feeling her tenderness and innocence.
Little Qingchen frowned slightly in her sleep, her little hand unconsciously clutching Chu Ruohan's sleeve, looking quite adorable.
Chu Yueshu returned home, gently stroking her lower abdomen, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.
She specifically instructed the kitchen to prepare several dishes that Yingqing liked, and also ordered people to clean and tidy up the house.
"Madam, everything is ready," the maidservant reported softly.
Chu Yueshu nodded, changed into a brand new light pink dress, did some simple makeup, and then sat quietly in the room to wait.
As time passed, her heart beat faster and faster, filled with both nervousness and anticipation.
Finally, familiar footsteps came from outside the door.
"Yue Shu, I'm back." Ying Qing pushed open the door and entered, her face showing a faint weariness.
Seeing his wife sitting under the lamp, a tender feeling immediately welled up in his eyes.
"Yingqing." Chu Yueshu stood up to greet her and called softly, "Quickly wash your hands and have your meal."
Yingqing nodded, noticing the unusually lavish meal today, and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Is today some kind of special day?"
Chu Yueshu smiled and didn't answer directly: "Let's eat first, and I'll tell you after we finish eating."
The two sat down to eat, and Chu Yueshu kept serving her husband food, her eyes following him the whole time.
Yingqing felt a little embarrassed by her gaze and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Why are you staring at me?"
"It's nothing." Chu Yueshu smiled and shook her head, then ladled him another bowl of soup. "Drink more, it'll help you recover."
After dinner, and the maids had cleared away the dishes and left, Yingqing held his wife's hand: "Yueshu, you've been acting so mysteriously today, what's going on?"
Chu Yueshu took a deep breath, her eyes filled with joy: "Yingqing, I'm pregnant."
Ying Qing was stunned for a moment, frozen in place: "Pregnant? What do you mean, pregnant?"
"I'm pregnant. Dr. Qian confirmed it today. It's been over a month," Chu Yueshu said softly, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"What did you say?" Ying Qing stood up abruptly, almost shouting, "You...you're pregnant?"
Chu Yueshu was startled by his reaction and nodded, "Yes, that's right."
"I...I'm going to be a father?" Ying Qing seemed unable to believe her ears. Her expression went from shock to ecstasy, and she suddenly became flustered.
"I'm a dad! I'm a dad!"
He paced excitedly around the room, unsure of what to do. He wanted to hug Chu Yueshu, but then worried that he might bump her stomach...
A moment later, he wanted to rush out and tell everyone the good news, but he didn't know where to begin.
Chu Yueshu was amused by his appearance: "Yingqing, calm down."
"Calm down? How can I calm down!" Ying Qing knelt in front of Chu Yue Shu and gently pressed her ear against her lower abdomen. "Yue Shu, I can't hear you. Is the baby moving?"
"Silly boy, it's only been a little over a month, there's no sign of anything happening." Chu Yueshu smiled and helped him up. "Besides, you'll be pressing down on me like this."
Ying Qing immediately jumped back, as if she had been burned: "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to!"
He was flustered like a young boy, but his eyes shone brightly with joy and anticipation.
Suddenly, he remembered something and his expression changed: "Yue Shu, you are pregnant now, you should rest well and not overwork yourself. It's just the two of us here, it's inconvenient to take care of you."
Chu Yueshu nodded: "That's what I think too. Dr. Qian said that the first three months are the most critical and require extra care."
"How about..." they both said in unison, then stopped and smiled at each other.
"You go first," Yingqing said.
Chu Yueshu said, "I was thinking, why don't we move to the General's Mansion for a while? Firstly, there's Doctor Qian there, and secondly, there's Wang Zhaodi, an experienced midwife."
"As for the third one... he can also chat with his older sister to relieve boredom."
“That’s what I was thinking too!” Yingqing slapped her thigh. “I’ll pack my things right away, and we’ll move there immediately.”
"No need to rush." Chu Yueshu was amused by his eagerness. "It'll be ready by tomorrow morning."
"No, the sooner the better." Yingqing had already started thinking about what to bring. "I'll go pack now."
Chu Yueshu watched him bustling around, like a big child, excited about becoming a father.
As night deepened, the two lay in bed, but Yingqing couldn't fall asleep, her mind filled with thoughts of the child.
"Yue Shu, do you think it's a boy or a girl?" he asked softly.
"It's only been a little over a month, how would we know?" Chu Yueshu turned around to face Ying Qing. "Whether it's a boy or a girl, they are all our children."
"Yes, everything is fine." Yingqing carefully placed his hand on his wife's abdomen. "Our child..."
The next morning, Yingqing got up and packed her luggage.
Although the general's mansion was not far from their home, he still carefully prepared all the items that Chu Yueshu might need.
"You should bring this too."
"This might come in handy."
"This might be needed."
Looking at the bundle he had stuffed full of things, Chu Yueshu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yingqing, it's not like we're not coming back, why bring so much?"
"It's better to bring more than less," Yingqing said earnestly, then checked carefully again to make sure nothing was missed.
"Let's go, Yue Shu, I'll help you."
"It's not like I can't walk," Chu Yueshu said, both amused and exasperated. "I'm only a little over a month pregnant, I'm not that delicate."
"Safety first." Ying Qing said seriously, unmoved.
