The cannon fodder just wants to survive until the end

Finally, Ming Huaixi took the box and said, "I will keep these things well."

The next day, the stewards brought the account books for Ming Huaixi to review. The previous housekeeper, Mrs. Pei, was very organized and a good housekeeper. Butler Pei was a very capable and loyal to the Pei family, so the stewards did not dare to cheat or play tricks under Butler Pei.

Before this, Ming Huaixi had been following his aunt to learn how to be a housekeeper and manage a shop, so it was easy for him to look at these account books.

The account books made by the managers were very clear. Ming Huaixi finished reading several thick account books in one day and found no problems. Then he let them go on with everything as usual and the day passed.

At night, the young couple performed the Zhougong ceremony and fell into a deep sleep.

After waking up the next day, Ming Huaixi had nothing to do, so she wanted to pack up her dowry. When she got married, the Ming family gave Ming Huaixi a lot of dowry, plus the betrothal gift from Pei Zhi and the dowry from others, all of which she brought with her when she came to Jiangnan.

When they moved into the Pei family, they were all stored in one room, which had not been sorted out yet. Liuli and Linglong also came.

Ming Huaixi took two maids to the warehouse. He gave the warehouse key to Liuli, and Linglong was responsible for Ming Huaixi's external interpersonal relationships.

Ming Huaixi pushed open the door of the warehouse and walked in to check the dowry. Linglong took the dowry book and compared the things in the warehouse. After a round, Ming Huaixi found that there were some extra things in the warehouse.

Ming Huaixi thought he had remembered it wrong, so he asked Linglong to bring the dowry book to check it personally. There were indeed a few extra items. Ming Huaixi asked someone to call the housekeeper to ask if anyone had been to the warehouse.

Butler Pei said that the master had come before and brought the heirloom that the old lady had said she would pass on to her daughter-in-law to the warehouse.

So that's how it is. Ming Huaixi wondered how this person could do good things secretly without even telling her. It was such a surprise.

In the following days, Pei Zhi sometimes stayed at home and sometimes went to other places to handle business matters. Ming Huaixi stayed at home embroidering and sometimes attended banquets organized by others.

On this day, Pei Zhi was discussing business with someone in a teahouse when suddenly a servant from his family rushed into the teahouse and asked which private room his master was in.

As soon as he was asked, he rushed up and said hurriedly, "Master, something bad has happened. Madam has suddenly fainted at home. The housekeeper asked me to ask you to go back."

When Pei Zhi heard the servant say Huai Xi had fainted, he quickly said goodbye to him and asked as he walked home, "Doctor, can you tell me why Huai Xi fainted? Did anything happen at home today?"

"When I arrived, Butler Pei had already sent someone to call the doctor, and the doctor should have arrived home by now. As for other things, nothing happened today. The madam was just looking at the account book as usual, and suddenly she fainted." The servant replied.

Pei Zhi returned to the mansion just as the doctor was checking Ming Huaixi's pulse. Ming Huaixi was lying on the bed and hadn't woken up yet. After checking the pulse, the doctor bowed to Pei Zhi and said with a happy face, "Congratulations, Master Pei. Madam Pei is pregnant. I wonder if Madam has had no appetite these days?"

"Madam has indeed eaten less these days than usual." replied the maid beside her.

"That's good. The reason why Madam fainted is because she has been pregnant for just over a month and her nutrition is not enough. Madam should eat more in the future and don't overwork herself on weekdays." The doctor explained the reason why Ming Huaixi fainted and also mentioned some precautions.

Pei Zhi was confused for a moment when he heard that Ming Huaixi fainted because she was pregnant. After hearing the doctor's instructions, he hurriedly asked, "Old sir, is my wife in good health? Will this child have any impact on my wife's health?"

When the doctor heard Pei Zhixian asking about Madam Pei's health, it seemed that what the outside world said was true, that Master Pei and Madam Pei were very loving, "Madam is in good health, and the child will not have much impact on Madam's health. However, the baby's position is a little unstable, so she needs to take a few doses of pregnancy-maintaining medicine and eat more, otherwise the baby may be weak in the later stages. But don't eat too much nutritious food, just the right amount is enough, a baby that is too big will be bad for the mother when it is born."

Pei Zhi personally sent the doctor out and gave him a big red envelope. Before leaving, he asked the old man to go back and write down for him some precautions for pregnant women.

The old doctor had been practicing medicine for many years, and this was the first time he saw the male owner of a wealthy family so concerned about his pregnant wife. He agreed immediately and said that he would send someone to pick her up the next day.

After Pei Zhi sent the old doctor away, he returned to his room and stayed by Ming Huaixi's side. Sometimes he stared at Ming Huaixi's face in a daze, and sometimes he stared at Ming Huaixi's lower abdomen in a daze.

Ming Huaixi slept for an hour before waking up. When she woke up, she saw herself in bed. Pei Zhi was still beside her, looking at her with a silly smile on his face. She couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with me? I was looking at the account book, how did I fall asleep? Didn't you say you would not be back at noon today to discuss business?"

"You fainted while looking at the account book, and the housekeeper asked someone to call me back. Huaixi, do you know? We are pregnant." When Pei Zhi saw Ming Huaixi wake up and heard her confusion, he immediately excitedly told her the good news.

"What?! We... are having a baby?" Ming Huaixi was shocked by the news. Her hands couldn't help but cover her lower abdomen, where a life was growing.

Suddenly Ming Huaixi thought of her fainting and asked Pei Zhi in a hurry, "Pei Zhi, why did I faint this time? How is the baby? Is he healthy? What effect will my fainting have on the baby?"

"The doctor said that it's because you've been eating too little during this period and haven't been getting enough nutrition, so the fetus is a little unstable. Just take two doses of medicine and eat more meals. Your fainting this time won't have much of an impact. Be good and don't get excited. I'll take care of everything." Pei Zhi heard Huai Xi's excited questions and hurried to comfort her.

Ming Huaixi actually didn't expect that she would have a child so early, but maternal love made her unconsciously want to be good to the child the moment she found out she was pregnant.

Now that it has been just over a month, Ming Huaixi discussed with Pei Zhi that they should wait until the fetus is stable after three months before writing to the elders of the Ming family.

Pei Zhi did not go out of town during these three months. Even for local matters, he would assign people to handle them if he could tell others to do so. He stayed at home with Huai Xi for the rest of the time. He had someone copy down the precautions written by the old doctor and gave one copy to the kitchen, and he read the other copy himself.

Now Pei Zhi has read the precautions several times and probably memorized them. He usually cares about her health more than Huai Xi.

As soon as three months passed, Ming Huaixi asked Pei Zhi to inform the Ming family elders of the good news. Ming Huaijin and his sister-in-law also did not forget. Due to the long journey, it was not convenient for the Ming family elders to go there, so they only sent some useful things.

Ming Huaijin couldn't leave because he was the county magistrate. Also, his sister-in-law was also pregnant, but not stable yet. He didn't tell anyone and just sent someone to deliver some things.
