The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

After lunch, Song Shengfu and her group went back.

The one who was most reluctant to leave was Brother Jian, but no matter how reluctant he was, there was nothing he could do because everyone has his own path to walk.

Unexpectedly, from this moment on, time seemed to accelerate.

Everyone is busy looking for their own direction in life.

The Bo Mansion returned to its former desolate state. The only child living there permanently was Kang Ge'er, who would either follow Master Han Yang or Master Xuan in the martial arts training room every day.

Now he holds a spear and practices it with great vigor every day.

According to Master Han Yang, there is no skill involved, it's all about strength.

He just practices a few simple movements every day.

Pierce, stab, sweep, stir, press, and hang.

It’s no wonder that Kang Ge’er has grown up. He has never complained about being tired or unwilling to do such repetitive and boring exercises.

If it were in the past, I would have shouted that I would quit.

Sister Wei has also become busy. In addition to going to school, she follows the housekeeper's affairs every day, and has to take piano lessons at home in her free time.

She made many good friends, and her daily life in the girls' school was colorful, with many open and secret struggles. This was a chapter in her life that belonged exclusively to her.

Although he is busy every day, he has not forgotten his younger brother Xuan Ge'er. However, Xuan Ge'er is really a worry-free person and there is nothing to worry about.

He learns quickly and has a solid foundation, so he stands out among his peers.

The teacher who was teaching him saw that he was not only smart but also very well-behaved, unlike the other naughty monkeys, which warmed his heart.

Being favored by the teacher and having outstanding talents, he naturally attracted dissatisfaction from some of his peers.

But he has never been bullied. Those people would just complain about him in private at most, but no one dared to mess with this little darling.

Who told him to have a brother who is a devil and has no morals? He is famous in the capital.

Except for those who were beaten by Kang Ge'er and held a grudge against him, many brothers who usually acted arrogantly admired him.

Therefore, we should also be courteous to the younger brother of this "big devil".

At the end of the 20th year of Mingde, Duan Bo's Mansion welcomed a new member.

"You're already pregnant. Old Xu said you're in good health. You can walk around and move around before giving birth so you'll have more strength."

"Thank you, sister-in-law. The day is almost here, and I'm feeling a little nervous."

Ding Meishu touched her belly, and the fox fur coat with white edges made her exude a maternal glow.

Mrs. Lu was holding a small thermos, which was made in the girls' school. It was of a novel design and was wrapped in velvet, shaped like a pumpkin.

"Giving birth is a big deal, and you're alone on weekdays. It's really strange that you're not busy in the morning or in the evening, but the Ministry of Justice is so busy right now. Shilang goes out early and comes back late, and you can't even spend more time with him."

Mrs. Lu complained a little. She could see that her fourth brother's wife was getting anxious recently. She had been talking to her a lot in the past two days. If she was left alone in the yard, she might be worried about all sorts of things.

Ding Meishu paused, feeling a little aggrieved. Now was the time when she needed someone to accompany her the most.

"He told me that he was overhauling an old case, and that the entire Ministry of Justice was turning it upside down. It was a busy day, and I sent him food, but he hadn't had time to eat. He looked quite a bit thinner."

Lu knew that Duan Jing'an was doing the right thing and she didn't blame him, but she felt sorry for Ding Meishu.

"No matter how busy I am, I should take some time to accompany you."

Ding Meishu felt a warm feeling in her heart. Her elder sister-in-law treated them, her younger siblings, sincerely.

"Sister-in-law, I'm with him. I see he's busy, so if it's late, I'll let him rest at the Ministry of Justice. He promised me that, and he always comes home every night, no matter how late it is. Sometimes I fall asleep, and I only find out when the servants tell me when I wake up the next day."

Ding Meishu is not a delicate little woman. In the past, these were not a problem for her.

However, under the influence of progesterone, she began to become sensitive and thoughtful, and sometimes began to care about things that she thought were unimportant.

Fortunately, the Fourth Master is a good husband who understands her difficulties and will come back to accompany her at night no matter how busy he is.

"I don't know when this will end. You're about to give birth. Oh, and look at my brain..."

Mrs. Lu handed the thermos in her hand to the servant next to her, saying it was time to add charcoal.

"I wonder if your mother is busy today? Your day is coming soon. Ask her to come over and stay with you for a few days."

Ding Meishu's eyes lit up. A few days ago, Shen Yuan also said that he would bring his mother to live with him for a few days.

"The due date is still more than half a month away. Isn't it a bit too early?"

"Not too early, Meishu. If she's willing, I'll go and invite her myself tomorrow."

Lu sighed, moved closer, and touched Ding Meishu's belly.

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you the truth. The old lady at home is very experienced, but she's old and not in good spirits. Although she looks energetic when she's chatting and laughing, she actually needs to rest after a short while. As for me, childbirth was difficult, and I've only had Kang Ge'er for so many years. I really don't have much experience. Having her here to accompany me makes me feel more at ease."

Ding Meishu held Lu's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? If you hadn't taught me so much during this period, my pregnancy wouldn't have been so smooth. It's just that Sister-in-law is usually busy with household affairs, so I rarely bother her with these things."

Suddenly the little thing in her belly moved, and she quickly went to touch it.

"Yeah, it's moving."

Lu also felt it and couldn't help but touch it.

Ding Meishu comforted the baby in her belly and said, "I'll write a letter to my mother when I get home. If there's nothing serious going on at home, please ask her to come and stay with me."

On the other hand, Bai had just received a letter from her daughter in the evening. She packed up her things overnight and took the only remaining daughter in the family (Ting Jie'er) to Duan Bo's mansion early the next morning.

There were guests in the mansion, including a distinguished guest. Since there was nothing to do in the girls' school, Sister Wei took a leave and will go again in the spring of next year.

It was snowing in December, and Mrs. Bai was sitting in the house, rubbing a small piece of clothing in her hands.

"This child's clothes need to be washed several times. They will be softer and more comfortable to wear."

There were a lot of clothes and cloth bags drying in the greenhouse on the side.

Mrs. Ding felt a little lazy and lay on the couch, not wanting to move, holding a pomegranate thermos in her hand.

"It's snowing, and the hot pack is cold."

Ding Meishu kicked the quilt lightly.

"Oh, my good master, don't let it get out. I'll take it."

Piaoxue warmed her hands in the charcoal brazier beside her, then she slightly lifted the quilt and took out a hot pack from inside.

The little maid next to her quickly handed over a new one and Piaoxue put it in.

"OK OK."

Ding Meishu squinted her eyes comfortably, and Bai Shi couldn't stand it any more.

"You should at least get up and walk around. You've been lying down all day. Be careful your stomach might learn your temper in the future."

Perhaps the meaning of a biological mother is that she is your sweetheart when you haven’t seen her for a long time, but as long as you are together for more than half a day, her sweetheart becomes a root.
