The lady was so ashamed that she hid in the backyard when she returned home and refused to see anyone.

I'm going to be so embarrassed today, in front of my in-laws.

When the lady heard the news early in the morning, she quickly packed her things and went to her eldest son first.

When they saw their eldest daughter-in-law, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hugged each other and cried bitterly.

The eldest lady originally thought that her sisters-in-law were pregnant, but she was not. While she was happy for the second son's wife, she was secretly sad for a long time.

When he saw the second wife, he saw that she was vomiting all over the place, so he started vomiting too.

The main reason was that the Second Madam vomited so violently, one vomit after another. She would vomit after a few words, and the First Madam couldn't help but vomit as well.

The doctor from the Second Madam's residence was at the Second Madam's side. Seeing this, he hurriedly took the First Madam's pulse.

After taking the pulse, he found that the first wife was almost two months pregnant, earlier than the second wife.

The two sisters-in-law were so happy that they cried and laughed for a long time, and quickly sent someone to the Duke's Mansion to announce the good news to the Duke Ding and his wife.

Double happiness is a great thing.

When the first lady saw her mother-in-law, she was naturally overjoyed. She cried and told her mother-in-law that it was thanks to the second lady that she knew she also had a child.

The wife of the Duke was a person with shallow tear ducts. She cried with the eldest lady for a long time before leaving the eldest lady and rushing to see her second daughter-in-law.

When I arrived at the second young master's house, I saw my mother-in-law was there too. The second wife had vomited so much that her face was pale and she was lying weakly on the bed.

The second wife was the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites. When the Minister's wife heard that her daughter was very pregnant, she rushed from her house to visit her.

Before the Duke's wife and the second daughter-in-law could say a few words, the second wife started vomiting again.

Then, the lady started vomiting violently, which scared the minister's wife.

Everyone in the capital knows that Duke Dingguo is a maniac who dotes on his wife. If anything happens to the Duke's wife at his daughter's house, he will make them both angry to death.

The court doctor was hurriedly called in, and it turned out that the Duke's wife was more than two months pregnant, longer than the pregnancies of her two daughters-in-law.

After hearing the news, Lady Lei Deguo was so upset that she wanted to kill herself. There was no trace of joy in her.

It's so embarrassing that she is pregnant at such an old age, and her pregnancy period is longer than that of her two daughters-in-law.

The key is that he didn’t know it himself, and then he diagnosed it in front of his mother-in-law.

Let her die now, it will bring shame to me.

The Minister's wife's eyes were full of deep meaning. She smiled and teased the Duke's wife, saying, "Madam, you are so happy. You are so brave to be a mother at this age."

Then they sent someone to ask Zhou Chenli to pick up the Duke's wife. They didn't dare let the Duke's wife go back by herself.

Especially when the second young master is not at home.

Zhou Chenli rushed to his second son's house. The minister's wife sent someone to deliver a letter to him, but did not tell him what was going on. She just asked him to go to the second son's house to pick up his wife and take her home.

When he arrived at his second son's house, he saw his wife in the outer courtyard with a flushed face and sitting next to her in-laws with lowered head. Zhou Chenli thought that his wife had upset her in-laws again, otherwise she would not have such an expression.

Before Zhou Chenli could even open his mouth to apologize, the Minister's wife smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits, and she congratulated Zhou Chenli with great joy: "I congratulate the Duke on becoming a father soon, and the Duke's wife is pregnant!"

The Duke's wife burst into tears, pulled Zhou Chenli up and jumped into the carriage.

As soon as she got on the carriage, she started crying and cursing: "What the hell, you're still old? You're obviously making fun of me. She's several years younger than me."

"And you." The lady pointed at Zhou Chenli and began to speak angrily, "It's all your fault. I lost everyone in front of my mother-in-law."

Zhou Chenli was still immersed in the great joy of becoming a father. His grandson was not as sweet as his own child.

He walked forward and hugged the Duke's wife tightly: "Madam, you are so trustworthy. You really want to give birth to a new baby for me. My fat daughter is coming! I am so happy!"

When Zhou Chenli returned home, he rewarded everyone in the mansion generously and even held a three-day banquet in front of the Duke's Mansion, saying that he wanted to share his joy with everyone.

When the lady's family, the Lan family, heard the news, the entire mansion came to congratulate her. Even the old Prime Minister Lan and his wife, who were living far away in retirement, sent people to deliver gifts.

When the Empress Dowager in the palace heard the news, she and the Queen sent people to congratulate her, and specifically instructed the lady to take good care of the pregnancy.

The lady was so ashamed that she refused to go out.

Madam will only be shy for a few days.

A few days later, the couple started to go out and pray to Buddha and gods, praying for a fat daughter.

Madam... in front of the fat girl, embarrassment is nothing.

A few days later, Duke Dingguo and his wife came to an agreement. Early in the morning, they rushed to the residences of the eldest and second sons to inform their two daughters-in-law.

It's a notification, not a discussion.

If the Duke's wife gives birth to a son this time, she will exchange their son for a granddaughter to raise by her side.

In short, no matter who gives birth to a granddaughter, if the Duke's wife gives birth to a son, the son must be brought to the Duke's Mansion to be raised.

If both daughters-in-law give birth to granddaughters, then take them all home and leave no one behind.

The lady doesn't care whose child it is, she belongs to their Zhou family anyway, so she wants to raise a sweet and soft little girl by her side.

She has raised three brats, and she vowed to raise a girl this time, and no one can stop her.

Afterwards, the eldest and second sons of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion also started to go out with their entire families to pray to the gods and Buddhas, praying that their mothers-in-law would give birth to a fat sister-in-law and a fat sister.

How can raising a younger brother be the same as raising your own child?

As a result, everyone in the capital knew that the masters in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion were looking forward to their fat daughter and Mo Feng, and they were eagerly looking forward to what the baby would be.

Zhou Jiyuan was naturally overjoyed when he learned his mother was going to give birth to a little sister. Every day, he would run to his wife to ask about her well-being, caring more about her than his father.

Zhou Chenli...Aren't you worried that you'll fall out of favor?

Zhou Jiyuan didn't think about whether he had lost favor or not. He was already so old, and he was still vying for favor.

Right now, he just wanted to study hard and practice martial arts. His older brothers had established families and careers, and had made some achievements. But he was the only one who hadn't achieved anything. How would he face his younger sister when she grew up?

Zhou Jiyuan grew up overnight.

Xu Miao and Yang Pozi were naturally even happier. They heard that the second lady had severe morning sickness and pickled various cucumbers, pickled radishes, and pickled cabbage.

When a peasant woman is pregnant and has morning sickness, she eats this. I wonder if the second wife can eat it.

After pickling the side dishes and discussing with the Madam, I sent them to the Second Young Master's residence and asked the Second Madam to try and see if they could stop the vomiting.

Xu Miao also added a little bit of seasoning to the side dish, hoping to help the second wife.

The lady looked at the various side dishes and her mouth watered with sourness: "Take it away quickly and send it to the second wife. Don't forget to send it to the eldest wife too. These pickled vegetables make my stomach turn sour."

My wife is having a very good pregnancy this time. She can eat and sleep well and feels extremely energetic.

The three of them were in a terrible state before, especially when she was pregnant with Zhou Jiyuan, she vomited almost from the beginning to the end.

Otherwise, Duke Dingguo and his wife would not be so sure that this baby is a girl.

Zhou Chenli even came up with dozens of names for his fat daughter. There are three pregnant women in his family. If the names are not suitable for his daughters, they will be given to his granddaughters. These names will always come in handy.

Just as the entire palace was immersed in joy, a staff member from the front courtyard approached Zhou Chenli and said, "Duke, Lord Xu sent a message saying that many Japanese were seen roaming around the coastal cities."

Zhou Chenli was furious when he heard this: "Damn it, the Japanese are courting death!"
