Which man would like a woman who takes advantage of his drunkenness, ahem, you know, and is promiscuous to get pregnant with his child?

  So, Yuning's pregnancy may not be a good thing after all. Whether she gives birth or not, it's all a problem.

  At least, Fourth Master will definitely not protect her.

  Li Ce's wife hated her so much, and she was afraid that she would not let her go.

  Ye Zao smiled lightly and stood up with everyone else to congratulate them.

  Anyway, this is... good news.

  Yun Ning was very excited. She had discovered it early on but didn't dare to confirm it. Now that she finally has this child, her future days will be better.

  This family dinner did not end in disarray due to Yuning's unhappiness.

  After all, this is a proper family dinner at the mansion. Fourth Master doesn't bother with Yu Ning, but Second Brother and Da Gege are still here, so he's in a good mood.

  After dispersing, Fourth Master stayed in the main courtyard, while everyone else went back on their own.

  Ye Zao wrapped in a thick cloak, slowly walked out of the main courtyard, towards Jin Yu Ge.

  Out of the main courtyard, walk a short distance, turn a corner, and pass two pavilions, you will arrive at Jin Yu Pavilion.

  The place is not bad. What's even better now is that Fourth Master's women all live on the other side, separated by a garden and half a lake.

  "Girls, this girl is indeed lucky." Ah Ling said softly, while supporting Ye Zao, lest she slipped and fell in the dark.

  The little pavilion was already waiting at the corner early in the morning. At this moment, it was carrying a lamp and also had a careful appearance.

  "Hmm, you think it's good fortune, then it's good fortune." As long as Yuning gives birth to a child and both mother and child can live until the fourth master ascends to the throne... perhaps it really is good fortune.

  But looking at Fourth Master's unhappy appearance, I don't know how it became a success that day. Tsk, what good fortune... Nowadays, it really can't be seen.

  "The girl is back." Seeing Ye Zao return, A Yuan went up to help her take off her cloak.

  "Ah, I'm back, bring me some snacks." Ye Zao said as he sat down.

  "Ah, get ready, there's also soup, I specially asked the kitchen for it, Miss, have a sip." A Yuan smiled and left.

  After drinking the soup and eating the food, Ah Ling also talked about what happened in the front yard.

  A-Yuan was also surprised: "Just one time and it's done? This Miss Xu is indeed lucky."

  Ye Zao smiled and simply said that in terms of winning the bid, Yu Ning was quite formidable.

  "Go to sleep, I reckon. Starting tomorrow, there will be a lot of plays, so be careful not to get involved in these things." Ye Zao was full and had a bit of sleepiness.

  Yunying left last, and Fu Jin instructed a few words.

  Fourth Master ignored her all along, she wanted Fourth Master to say a few words, but unfortunately, she didn't dare take the initiative.

  When I went back last time, it was Fu Jin who sent a maid from Zhengyuan to accompany me back.

  It's just that she's pregnant and it's not good for her to be alone in the house without anyone to take care of her. Tomorrow, Fu Jin will choose someone to accompany her.

  Ye Zao has no children and there are a few people taking care of him. They say it's all the same, but in fact, they're not the same after all.

  Now Yuning is pregnant, naturally she has become a bit more noble and needs to be taken care of. The adults don't matter, the child is what's important.

  Li Ce's wife returned with a face full of anger: "That cheap woman actually succeeded! It was all your good idea!"

  Zhao Fugui was also wronged, he knelt there, with a gloomy face: "This is too lucky, just that one time, I heard that Fourth Master didn't even call her to continue serving, in the second half of the night, Yuning was kneeling too."

  Is this all? Just finished and already kneeling, can still get pregnant?

  What luck!

  "What can be done?" Li Ce asked with a hum.

  "Oh dear master, please don't get angry. Even if Yu Ning gave birth to this child, it would still be the legitimate heir. Besides, whether she can give birth or not, and whether it's a boy or girl, are all uncertain things." It's only been two months or so, whether she can deliver the baby safely is still an unknown quantity.

  If the hospital had taken care of it, then so be it, but if they didn't, then it's definitely a stillbirth.

  In March, there will be a selection of concubines, and when the new people enter the mansion, who knows whether Yuning is dead or alive?

  "Hmph, no need to take any action. I'd like to see if she can give birth successfully. You make the arrangements, we won't lift a hand, but anyone in the household who dares to treat her well will be going against me!"

  Li Ce Fu Jin hummed and said that even if she didn't take the initiative, as a pregnant concubine, if the mansion made things difficult for her everywhere, she wouldn't be able to give birth easily!

  "Who does she think she is? Not even worth grandfather's attention. It's not easy to keep her safe either."

  Zhao Fugui nodded hastily in agreement, thinking to himself "it's not like that at all".

  Not having seen Ye Shi, she was favored, but didn't have any children. Nowadays, her life is no worse than that of a princess.

  This is the trouble with Master Zhao... The master has no interest, and that's the biggest difficulty.

  What's more, it's not just a lack of interest, but also a strong dislike.

  That night, many people didn't sleep well, but Ye Qian slept very soundly.

  The next day, Fourth Master got up early and went to court. Today is the first time he has gone to court this year. He can't be late.

  The lady got up and had breakfast, then asked: "Has someone been chosen for the Xu family?"

  "As for the young master's words, I've chosen two maidservants, both are fifteen years old, and they look quite decent, very suitable." said Yang Ayi.

  "Let's call the imperial physician then, have her take a good look and avoid any misunderstandings." The empress was also somewhat skeptical, could it be that easy?

  Old Lady Yang said she had already invited them and was just waiting for Madame's order.

  The lady nodded and ordered someone to help her put on her outer garment, then headed towards Madam Xi's residence.

  It's naturally cold and gloomy here, but for a concubine, it's already quite good.

  The imperial physician pretended not to see, and after feeling the pulse, he stood up and said: "Congratulations, Fugui, this girl is indeed pregnant, more than two months, and the fetus is stable. However, you are slightly malnourished, just supplement properly."

  "Thanks for your trouble, Doctor! Look, I'll see you out." The lady said with a smile.

  The imperial physician thanked him and left.

  In her heart, she thought, this concubine is pregnant, isn't that a good thing for Fourth Madame?

  "Now that you really have it, take good care of it. The person who gave it to you has also sent some food over. Later, I'll call the kitchen and have them take care of you." Madame Fu smiled.

  "I thank you for your great kindness, I dare not fail to take good care of myself. Thank you, Madam!" Yuning knelt down and kowtowed, with a very respectful demeanor.

  "Alright, then just rest for now and don't go out if it's not necessary. The weather is still cold today, but after you've recovered for three months, it will be warm, and by that time, it will also be good to take a stroll in the garden." Madame got up: "No need to see me off."

  Yunying still knelt down and saw him off with courtesy.

  The lady came out of the small courtyard, took a deep breath, and then got into the sedan chair.

  She wanted Ye Shi to have children, but Ye Shi was still young and didn't get pregnant for a while...

  This Yu Ning also has it, and it's the same.

  As long as it's a son, she'll take him away with ease.

  As for Yuning... some people didn't make it through childbirth either.

  A child of a concubine, as long as they are not foolish, will not speak out of turn even if they know their origins later on. They will only be filial to her.
