The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

When Duan Jingyi regained consciousness, she opened her eyes and saw her husband, Huang Jingtong, sitting beside the bed. She felt a little dizzy and wanted to sit up.

Seeing this, Huang Jingtong gently helped his wife up, with an unconcealable smile on his face.

"Jingyi, you're awake. How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"

Duan Jingyi was a little confused. She saw a room full of people, including her mother-in-law and the doctor, and everyone had happy looks on their faces.

"Husband, what's going on?"

"Jingyi, you are pregnant. We have another child."

Huang Jingtong is obviously the father of two children, but at this moment he is still as happy as a fool.

"what?!"

Duan Jingyi looked at Huang Jingtong in disbelief.

"Jingtong, what did you say? You said I have a child, did I hear it right?"

Duan Jingyi grabbed Huang Jingtong's sleeve tightly and asked. After hearing Huang Jingtong's affirmative words, Duan Jingyi touched her lower abdomen, tears already streaming down her face.

She thought she would never get pregnant again, but unexpectedly, God blessed her. She cried and laughed at the same time.

Mrs. Huang couldn't stand the stupidity of the two men, so she walked up and grabbed Huang Jingtong's clothes and pulled them back.

"Move aside and let the doctor take a look."

Huang Jingtong quickly stood up to make way. The doctor came forward to take his pulse and stood up after a while.

"The Madam is indeed pregnant, but her pulse is still weak, and it is estimated that she is less than two months pregnant. We need to take her pulse again just in case."

Upon hearing this, Madam Huang asked, "Is my daughter-in-law in good health now? Is there anything wrong with her?"

"Madam is in good health, but judging by her pulse, it seems she has a conflicting internal fire and a strong pulse, but she is weak internally. This is probably due to her mood swings. It's only been over a month, so she must remember to stay calm and not let any resentment build up in her heart. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to preserving the fetus."

Upon hearing this, Madam Huang and Huang Jingtong became worried and anxious, and urged the doctor to prescribe some calming medicine.

After the doctor left, Madam Huang said to Duan Jingyi with concern:

"Just take good care of your baby during this time. If you need anything, come to me and I'll take care of it for you. Don't get excited like you did just now. Now that the baby is here, just focus on taking care of the baby."

Duan Jingyi nodded after hearing what the doctor said. "Mother is right. I will definitely take good care of myself and put the baby in my belly first."

The atmosphere was extremely harmonious for a moment. At this time, Huang Jingtong held Duan Jingyi's hand and asked, "You were fine, why did you suddenly faint?"

Huang Jingtong was still in the government office when he heard his wife's maid come to report that his wife had fainted at home. He hurried back after hearing the news, and now he still doesn't know what the specific situation is.

At this moment, Duan Jingyi suddenly remembered that she had fainted from anger at the door of her mother-in-law's courtyard. As for the culprit, Duan Jingyi looked at her mother-in-law, Mrs. Huang.

Old Madam Huang was very happy at this time. She didn't even remember how she had forced her daughter-in-law to have children and take concubines. She only blamed all the blame on Qiao and Yu.

"It's still those two unreputable people who are acting lawless all day long, relying on the support of others."

Old Madam Huang looked disgusted and impatient.

Huang Jingtong knew who it was. Who else in this mansion would dare to offend the master's wife? The only ones left were the two illegitimate sons who were favored by the Left Prime Minister.

Huang Jingtong's hands unconsciously tightened the quilt in his hands, and he felt a pair of soft hands wrapped around his hands. He found that it was his wife holding his hands.

Duan Jingyi smiled and shook her head at him, saying sweetly, "Husband, it's okay. As long as we are well, that's more important than anything else."

Huang Jingtong felt bitter in his heart and turned to look at Madam Huang: "Mother, are we just going to let them bully us like this forever?"

"Let's forget about Jingyi and me. A few days ago, I heard from the maidservant next to Sister Jin that Brother Jiang pushed Sister Jin down in the garden, sat on her and pulled her hair. So, I told my father about it, but he just said it was a joke between children. Mother..."

Huang Jingtong's voice was choked with sobs as he spoke.

How could Mrs. Huang not know about this? It was only after Jingtong became an official that life for her and her son became better.

"Your father's heart is extremely biased, but Jingyi finally got pregnant this time, and your father is not senile yet. When he diagnosed the pregnancy, he ordered that Qiao and Yu be confined to their homes for three months and forced to kneel in the ancestral hall and copy scriptures for ten days."

Huang Jingtong sneered in his heart after hearing this. If any illegitimate son or daughter-in-law dared to offend the legitimate branch, only their family would be unrespectable.

When everyone left and only Duan Jingyi and Huang Jingtong were left, Duan Jingyi snuggled in Huang Jingtong's arms, and the scene looked peaceful and tranquil.

"Jingtong, we have a child again. It's like a dream."

Duan Jingyi touched her flat belly, with a look of confusion on her face, but more of it was a joy that was difficult to conceal.

Huang Jingtong gently kissed the hair of the woman in his arms with a satisfied smile: "The doctor just said it, could it be false? You just think too much."

Duan Jingyi felt like she had gone through a lot today and was completely stunned. Suddenly, she turned around and looked at Huang Jingtong, looking into his eyes very seriously.

"Tell me, could it be one of those prescriptions that mother gave me? Otherwise, why hasn't there been any news in the past two years? She got pregnant just four months after returning from her mother's home. Do you think this baby will be a boy?"

Huang Jingtong looked more and more excited as she spoke. She had been feeling depressed for years and this was her hope.

It must be a son...

Huang Jingtong also hopes it is a son, but he doesn't want to put more pressure on his wife. Now the main thing is to give birth to the child safely, and he has a hunch that this baby will definitely be a son.

.......

Song Shengfu has been very happy these days. First, her fourth son passed the imperial examination and then her eldest daughter became pregnant. Song Shengfu felt that their Duan family's fortunes must be turning around now, and it must be the incense she burned before that played a big role.

Not only Song Shengfu, but Lu also started to like burning incense and set up an incense table in her own yard.

Duan Jing'an has been running to Cheng Xi's yard from time to time these days. He definitely can't move and has been carried around these days.

It was really too boring in bed, so I had met Cheng Xi before and we became close friends. We would practice chess together from time to time.

At this time, Kang Ge'er was working hard to memorize lessons and write articles, and sometimes he could watch the two of them play chess. In this way, the days passed quickly.

Kang Ge'er was used to studying, and the happiest person was Lu, who would send some ornaments and silver to Hemingyuan from time to time. Cheng Xi accepted all the ornaments, but asked people to take all the silver back, and only took the tuition.

Lu was even more satisfied and changed the silver into rare books, calligraphy and paintings, which Cheng Xi naturally accepted.

The results of the imperial examination had already come out, and many successful candidates had already secured official positions, but Duan Jing'an was still idle at home due to a leg injury.

By May, everyone in the Duan family was starting to get anxious. At dinner, Mrs. Lu had a hard time eating. She twirled her chopsticks and looked at Song Shengfu anxiously:

"Mother, what are your plans for my fourth brother's official position?"

Song Shengfu was chewing the elbow in her hand when she heard this.

"What? Just say whatever you want to say."
