That night, Ye Zhan tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He was looking forward to the morning so that he could go to the Hundred Households Office to ask for the doctor himself.

It was late at night, and Jiang Yan, who was tired and sleepy, was angered by him. "If you make trouble again, go sleep somewhere else."

"Wife, I was wrong. I will never turn over again." Ye Zhan admitted his mistake to his wife, but his arms firmly held his wife in his arms.

Seeing that he had finally calmed down, Jiang Yan found a comfortable position and closed her eyes.

Liming finally came out after Ye Zhan's repeated calls. Ye Zhan got up quietly and put on his clothes.

The snow outside has stopped, the ground is covered with white, and everything is silent.

Ye Zhan pulled his coat closer before leading his mount out of the courtyard. He was still a little worried about his wife. Just as he was about to go to the east wing to wake up Dajun, he heard the sound of shoes stepping on the snow not far away.

Ye Zhan turned around and saw Old Lady Ye walking towards him on the snow, followed by Ye Zhen'er and Jiulang.

Watching the old lady walk over, one foot deep and one foot shallow, Ye Zhan's heart was filled with emotion. "...Mother."

This was the first time Ye Zhan called out "mother." His voice was soft and a little erratic, but Old Lady Ye heard it all. She quickly responded, "Hey."

"Mom, please come in quickly. It's very cold outside."

"Hey, be careful on the road."

"Thank you, mother. I will be more careful." With the old lady watching over Jiang Yan, Ye Zhan felt relieved.

Whipping his horse, Ye Zhan rode away, his back soon disappearing in the vast snow.

Ye Zhen'er pulled Jiulang over and saw her grandmother looking at her uncle's departing back with tears in her eyes, as if she couldn't see enough. "Grandma?"

"Oh!" The old lady was happy that Xiaoliu called her mother.

"Grandma?" Ye Zhen'er felt a little worried when she saw her grandmother crying and laughing.

"It's okay." The old lady said it was okay and walked towards the kitchen. She had to boil water and cook for Xiaoliu's wife.

Ye Zhener saw that the snow in her uncle's yard had not been cleared yet, so she picked up a broom and helped sweep the snow.

Hearing the sound, Dajun quickly got up, put on his clothes and went out to see that Sister Zhen'er and Jiulang were sweeping the snow. He greeted them, "Sister Zhen'er, Jiulang, you are here."

"Well, we came here with Grandma."

As Jiulang finished speaking, a little head appeared at the door of the upper room and the door of the east wing.

Yichen was about to run out with a smile on her face, but Old Lady Ye, who was carrying firewood, saw her and quickly stopped her. "Chenchen, it just snowed outside, it's cold. Put on an extra coat before you go out."

"Okay, I got it, grandma." Yichen agreed, put down the door curtain in her hand, and went back to the house to put on her clothes.

Xiaojun, like his sister, stuck out his tongue and obediently went back to the house to get his coat.

When Jiang Yan woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. She could vaguely hear someone talking in a low voice.

"Grandma, why isn't my mother awake yet? She would normally be awake by this time."

"It's a good thing that your mother can sleep now. It would be best if she can be plump and white, so that she can have the strength to give birth to a younger brother for you." Old Mrs. Ye was still thinking that Xiaoliu's wife was too thin, and she had to find a way to nourish her.

Yichen heard her grandma and Aunt Guan say last night that her mother was pregnant, and she was so happy.

No one knows that in modern times she especially wanted to have a brother or sister. Later she even lowered her standards and thought that even if she didn't have a brother or sister, having a younger brother or sister would be fine, at least they could keep her company.

But this beautiful wish is always just a wish.

Now that it is finally possible, she needs to think carefully about how she can be a good sister.

Jiang Yan only listened to a few words before she closed her eyes again feeling exhausted.

When Ye Zhan asked the doctor to come back, he was a little worried when he saw that his wife was still sleeping.

The doctor sat in the main room and drank a cup of hot tea before taking the large bowl of noodles with meat handed to him by Old Lady Ye.

The doctor is also a human being, and he has a frugal old woman at home, so they rarely eat meat in a month.

At this moment, seeing a piece of meat as big as a fist on the noodles, he swallowed his saliva immediately and sat down to eat it with relish.

Seeing the doctor finish half a bowl of noodles in just a few mouthfuls, Old Lady Ye urged her youngest son to eat faster. "Xiao Liu, these hot soup noodles will become clumpy if you don't eat them now."

"Why is my wife still sleeping?"

The doctor, considering the large amount of meat noodles, added, "It's normal for a pregnant woman to like sleeping. It's just that..."

"Just what?"

"Some families don't have the financial resources to do so, or the in-laws don't like it and won't let pregnant women sleep."

After listening to the doctor's explanation, Ye Zhan thought to himself: His wife can sleep as long as she wants.

Seeing that her youngest son looked much better after listening to the doctor's explanation, Old Lady Ye used her eyes to tell him to eat the noodles quickly.

Seeing that his wife was fine, Ye Zhan picked up the bowl and drank a sip of the hot noodle soup.

It was almost noon when Jiang Yan woke up again. She was woken by hunger.

Hearing the movement in the east room, Mrs. Ye pushed the door open and came in first. Mrs. Ye first observed that Jiang Yan looked good, and then she said, "You're awake now, so eat something. Don't be hungry."

"Yeah." Jiang Yan washed up and ate a small bowl of noodles before going to the main room.

In the main room, the doctor had been waiting here for half a day without any complaints.

It's so cold today, but I feel so comfortable sitting in a warm house, drinking hot tea, and eating fried peanuts and pumpkin seeds.

You know, he is usually very busy and has no time to rest. It is quite nice for him to have some free time today.

Ye Zhan had been sitting in the main hall, and when he saw his wife coming out, he stood up quickly.

They were all experienced people, but Ye Zhan's word "wife" still made the old doctor feel jealous. Although he didn't say it, he was muttering a lot in his heart.

But he also knew that it was Madam Jiang who had come to see him today. In the West Mountain Hundred Households Office, no one, young or old, woman or child, did not know Madam Jiang's name.

Today, the old doctor had the opportunity to meet Madam Jiang in person, and he wasn't at all arrogant. After carefully taking Madam Jiang's pulse, the old doctor smiled at the right moment. "Congratulations, Madam Jiang, you have a pregnancy pulse, and the baby is already over a month old."

Although Old Lady Ye and Ye Zhan had been prepared for this, it was still different when the old doctor said it.

Ye Zhan was so excited that he didn't know what to say. Fortunately, Old Lady Ye was experienced and asked some things to pay attention to.

The old doctor also spoke the truth, "Madam Jiang is in good health, and the baby in her belly is developing well."

After hearing the doctor's words, Old Lady Ye felt relieved. She then asked some more questions, including whether she should take more tonics.

The old doctor also answered carefully, "Madam Jiang is in good health, just eat and drink as usual."
