Chapter 132 Winter Pregnancy

Madam Dou didn't want to cause any trouble when she was about to move, otherwise, it would cause trouble to Madam Wei next door, which would delay the auspicious day.

Du Jingyi also knew what she meant, so she smiled and didn't say much.

Two days later, the sky gradually darkened.

The lights in the East Garden were lit one after another, and Shang Ji entered the door of Xitang Courtyard with a chill.

When he came back, he didn't go straight to the main house, but to the side room.

He was covered with snow and dust, so he had to wash himself well, otherwise, compared with the fragrance and softness of Madam, it would be too rough.

Therefore, he washed in the side room, which woke up Du Jingyi who had fallen asleep.

I don't know if it was because of winter sleepiness or because of changes in her body, but she was sleeping more and more days.

Sometimes, she slept for most of the day, as if she couldn't sleep enough.

Seeing this, Madam Dou explained that this was normal, so Du Jingyi found an excuse to sleep.

And no one in the Xitang Courtyard said anything.

After all, to the outside world, Du Jingyi was "recuperating", and there seemed to be nothing wrong with sleeping every day.

Since returning from the Du family last month, she has not left the house again, and announced to the outside world that she was sick.

Not only her, but all the masters in the East Garden were "sick" one by one, and it seemed that they were infected.

The servants in the East Garden tried to "cover up" in a secretive manner, but the more they did so, the more strange and suspicious it made outsiders feel.

The first to bear the brunt of it was the three rooms still living in the North Garden, and they were very scared.

After all, in the entire Duke's Mansion, the North Garden was the closest to the East Garden.

And their family of more than a dozen people were all huddled in this place, and it was difficult to even turn over.

If they were really infected by the "sickly people" in the East Garden, wouldn't they have a bad New Year?

So, they prayed for the East Garden to move out quickly every day.

Maybe then, they could use the excuse that the North Garden was too crowded and move to the East Garden.

The calculation was very clever, but it was useless.

On the contrary, this move made Mrs. Wei, who was ready to take action, more suspicious.

Even though she knew that they were mostly pretending to be sick, she couldn't guess what the purpose behind it was.

Du Jingyi didn't have time to care about what other people were thinking at the moment.

So after getting up with sleepy eyes, he asked.

"But the general is back?"

Yingtao walked up quickly when she heard the voice, stuffed a pillow behind her, and answered respectfully.

"Well, the general is back and is washing in the ear room. I guess he should be ready by now."

Their generals washed so quickly that sometimes they didn't even finish a cup of tea.

But although he was fast, he was also careful and serious.

Yingtao had been serving for some time and had a clear understanding of this.

As expected, after she brought warm water to Du Jingyi and gave him a few sips, the door of the room was pushed open, but it was quickly closed again.

The one who walked in was Shang Ji, who had already washed up.

His hair was wet, but he was no longer as cold as when he just came back.

He looked more heroic than half a month ago.

The wind and snow made the journey back and forth much more difficult. Shang Ji had not come back for several days because he was afraid of delaying his work.

The moment Du Jingyi saw him, he was surprised at first, and then he suddenly felt a sore nose, and tears fell like beads that had broken off the string, which immediately surprised Shang Ji.

He walked up quickly and asked with concern.

"What's wrong? Are you sick?"

He raised his hand and touched her forehead, and found that the temperature was indeed a little high.

And isn't it time for dinner?

Why is she still lying in bed?

His anxious look was touched by Du Jingyi's eyes, and he muttered.

"I'm not sick, but I've been crying and laughing these days, and I can't seem to control my emotions. But I asked Madam Dou, and she said it's normal."

Shang Ji obviously didn't believe it.

He said it was normal when he couldn't control his emotions, and immediately told Yingtao.

"Go ask Doctor Guo from Bencaotang to come and see the lady."

Yingtao looked at her own lady with some embarrassment. They didn't want to spread the matter, so they didn't know what to do.

Seeing her embarrassment, Du Jingyi pulled Shang Ji's sleeve and spoke to Yingtao to help her out.

"No need, it's nothing serious. Cherry, you go down first. I have something to say to the general."

"Yes, Madam."

Cherry naturally knew what the Madam was going to do, so she hurried out with a smile on her face.

The general was exhausted all the way, and probably hadn't eaten yet, so she asked Danruo to prepare some good wine and food. Today is a good day to celebrate!

Shang Ji saw her joyful steps when she left.

So he felt very strange. Why did he seem a little different after not returning home for only half a month?

Looking at the lady's face, it couldn't be said to be good, but it didn't look like she was sick, so after Cherry went out, she immediately asked.

"But are you pretending to be sick again because of Madam Wei's matter?"

Hearing this, Du Jingyi nodded, but shook his head again, which made Shang Ji feel even more strange.

"What do you mean?"

"It's true that I'm pretending to be sick, but it's also true that I'm not feeling well, so I nodded and shook my head at the same time."

"Not feeling well, then I'm still sick."

After saying this, she suddenly remembered something and said it immediately.

"Are you having a stomachache? I'll ask the kitchen to bring you a bowl of brown sugar water. I heard that drinking that is good for women's menstrual symptoms."

Du Jingyi was a little shocked when she heard this.

"How did the general know?"

"I saw my third uncle personally make a bowl for my aunt in the army before, so..."

When he talked about the Gu family this time, he was not as sad as before. Maybe he was talking about something obscure, so he was a little embarrassed.

However, this made Du Jingyi laugh again.

"The general misunderstood. I'm not having my menstrual period, but I haven't had my menstrual period for almost two months."

Not having it?

It means...

The first thought that flashed through Shang Ji's mind was that she was not full of qi and blood, so this was the case.

But it didn't seem like it after looking left and right, and then he slowly came back to his senses.

His eyes went from confusion to disbelief, until he saw the smile in Du Jingyi's eyes, and then he was sure.

He swallowed a little, and his tongue was a little knotted.

"Are you pregnant?"

Du Jingyi smiled and nodded, and then explained.

"I felt uncomfortable a few days ago, so I asked Dou Ma to find a reliable doctor from outside to see me. He said that I was almost two months pregnant. I wanted to report it to the general, but I was afraid that someone would make trouble, so I waited until today."
