As soon as these words were spoken, Mrs. Hu felt as if she were in a dream, with her hands on her abdomen, unable to recover for a while.

However, the maids who served her had red eyes and kept chanting Buddhist scriptures.

Zhao pursed her lips, a hint of reluctance in her eyes, but her face was already filled with worry: "Doctor Zhong, but my sister-in-law just said that she had her period a few days ago. Is this a problem?"

Mrs. Hu and her maids also looked at Doctor Zhong nervously.

Doctor Zhong was an old man in the Marquis' Mansion, so he naturally knew what was bothering Mrs. Hu. When he found out that her pulse was slippery, he was happy.

He smiled and stroked his beard: "Don't worry, grandma, there are women who still have their periods after getting pregnant. It's just that the amount is less than usual, it's not a big deal!"

Only then did Mrs. Hu feel relieved and hurriedly thanked Doctor Zhong and gave him the highest reward.

I also asked if I needed to take pregnancy-maintaining medicine.

Doctor Zhong accepted the award and said with a smile, "All medicines are toxic. Grandma is taking good care of herself, and the baby looks stable now. There's no need for pregnancy-maintaining medicine. Just be a little careful with your diet."

Mrs. Hu felt more relieved and hurriedly asked the maid beside her to follow Doctor Zhong to ask about the daily dietary taboos.

Doctor Zhong went down, and everyone present came forward to congratulate him.

Even though Zhao was unhappy, she still put on a smile and congratulated him.

Mrs. Hu was in a good mood and liked everyone she saw.

It was announced on the spot that every maid and servant present would receive a reward.

The people below were immediately overjoyed, their cheeks beaming with joy.

Among this happy crowd, only Zhao and Liu Sisi's smiles looked a little stiff and bitter.

However, Mrs. Hu was so happy at the moment, surrounded and praised by everyone, that she didn't care about these things.

However, Lu Zhenzhen had been paying attention to Liu Sisi. She bit her lower lip, shook Zhao's hand, and when she saw Zhao looking at her, she gave her a concerned look.

Zhao's nose felt sore, but she quickly controlled it.

He forced a smile at Liu Sisi.

Liu Sisi stood on tiptoe and whispered something in Zhao's ear.

Zhao was startled, as if reminded of something, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

After everyone received their rewards and the commotion died down, Zhao finally spoke with a smile, "Sister-in-law is pregnant, which is a great joy for our mansion. If you're lucky enough to have a son, then Sister-in-law can rest assured!"

This was not a pleasant thing to hear, but when she heard the word "brother", Mrs. Hu also hoped that she was pregnant with a boy, so she didn't bother to argue with Mrs. Zhao.

"If it really is a boy, everyone serving in the mansion will be given an extra month's salary!" Mrs. Hu also said generously.

A flicker of jealousy flashed across Zhao's eyes, but she quickly concealed it, then smiled and said, "If it really is a boy, I have to thank our Sisi! There was no news before, but today, as soon as Sisi arrived at the mansion, I already have good news. Maybe this child was brought by Sisi!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Mrs. Hu's face changed. She felt that it was even more disgusting than smelling the shrimp.

A cousin from a poor family, who is obviously of wicked mind, always crying with a bitter face, a miserable person who has cried all her blessings away, how can someone bring her a child?

Who is this disgusting?

This was indeed absurd, and even Mrs. Sun couldn't help but frown.

Mrs. Hu was so disgusted that she couldn't stop retching.

Several maids were busy serving Hu, and since Zhao was the master, no one objected for a while.

It seems that Zhao knew that Hu's pregnancy was a foregone conclusion, so she wanted to give Liu Sisi a title that said she was blessed and could bring good fortune.

Lu Zhenzhen smiled, but then you have to ask her whether she agrees or not.

He suppressed his laughter and said, "Look at Third Sister-in-law, she's so happy for Big Sister-in-law that she's talking nonsense! Big Sister-in-law is pregnant, so it's naturally given by Big Brother Jian. What does it have to do with my cousin?"

"Miss Liu is neither the Goddess of Childbirth nor the descendant of a miraculous doctor. How could she, an unmarried girl, possibly make my sister-in-law pregnant?"

"Third sister-in-law, it's harmless for us sisters-in-law to joke around like this, but what if someone takes it seriously? If it gets out, won't everyone laugh? Where is Brother Zhijian?"

"Third sister-in-law, think about it carefully, isn't this the truth?"

Lu Zhenzhen dismissed Zhao's plan with just a few words.

Zhao was so stunned that she couldn't speak, and Liu Sisi's face turned pale.

After swaying twice, he managed a timid smile: "Speaking of which, I'm lucky to be able to share in the joy of my eldest sister-in-law's pregnancy today!"

Hu was in a good mood and didn't bother to argue with Zhao and Liu Sisi.

What's more, she finally got pregnant again, and her body was precious, so she naturally couldn't continue to stay in Zhao's Lanyue Courtyard.

So I stood up and said goodbye.

How could Zhao dare to stay, for fear that something unexpected might happen?

He hurriedly escorted the person to the door.

Sun and Lu Zhenzhen naturally said goodbye as well.

After sending Hu back to her courtyard, the two of them said goodbye hand in hand and went back to their respective homes.

Next, the entire mansion was shaken.

A steady stream of people carrying gifts came from each family and gathered in Hu's yard.

From the old marquis to the slightly prominent steward, everyone prepared generous gifts.

For a while, Hu's small courtyard was so lively that all the maids and servants in the courtyard came out to cheer, and they couldn't receive enough gifts.

I heard that on that day, the gifts alone filled up an entire room.

In sharp contrast to this is Zhao's courtyard.

Although Zhao was feeling angry, after Hu left, she packed up some gifts and sent them off.

She had worked hard for most of the day and put a lot of thought into organizing this welcoming banquet, originally intending to bring honor to Liu Sisi.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a good thing for Mrs. Hu, as she was revealed to be pregnant today!

All the plans have gone to waste. Not to mention today, even in the days to come, I’m afraid who will still remember that a cousin came to the house today?

Everyone's attention will only be focused on Hu.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

Zhao had a stern face, and the servants in Lanyue Courtyard were not fools. They knew that their grandmother was very angry at the moment.

No one dared to step out and just focused on their work, fearing that they would accidentally attract Zhao's attention.

Even the maids who served Zhao were trembling with fear.

At this critical moment, Liu Sisi stepped forward and waved her hand to signal Zhao's personal maids to go out, and she would stay.

The maids looked at each other, and when they saw that Zhao had no objection, they left.

Liu Sisi then sat down next to Zhao and hugged Zhao's arm: "Sister, you have been wronged——"

At one word, Zhao burst into tears.

Not to mention how the two Zhao cousins ​​cried face to face in the house.

As for Mrs. Hu, after all the people who came to congratulate her had been sent away, the room finally became quiet.

Although she didn't dare to trouble Mrs. Hu with anything, she felt tired just watching from the side.

She leaned back on the couch and pillow, letting out a long sigh as she rubbed her belly. "Finally, the bitterness has ended and happiness has finally arrived. I only hope this baby is a boy. Then I'll have everything I need, and there's nothing more to ask for."
