The empress dowager didn't ask about Li's family affairs, but she attached great importance to Yuning's pregnancy.
Since Li's fetus moved, Fu Jin changed her previous indifference to Yu Ning and instead had her residence strictly guarded.
At this time, Li thought of making another move, but it was already too late.
However, it's already February now, and next month, new people will be entering the mansion. At that time, everything will change.
Yunying's ability to keep the child and whether she can give birth successfully are both in question.
Yun Ning also had her own plan in mind. If Fu Jin took away the child, she was afraid that it would be certain death for her.
However, Li and she could not coexist.
Rubbing his belly, he furrowed his brow tightly. Now, he surprisingly didn't know what to do!
She wanted children, but having children cost her own life, what's the point of that?
After thinking for several days, I had an idea.
Yun Ning was protected by Fu Jin's people and naturally had no freedom.
However, it's not imprisonment after all. If she wants to go out, she can still do so. So when she said she wanted to see Song Gege, everyone was surprised for a moment, but didn't stop her.
Yun Ning thought it was good. Now, Fu Jin is tightly protecting her this time, even if she's not being honest, Fu Jin wouldn't dare to harm her.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for Fourth Master to get through.
So, as long as Song Gege is willing, she can give the child to Song Gege.
Song Gege is just a gege, after all her status is low, and she can't be killed. When the time comes, when the child grows up, there will still be opportunities to recognize each other, won't there?
Yu Ning knelt in front of Song Gege and told her everything. After that, Song Gege was left speechless.
Honestly speaking, does she want a child? Of course, she does!
Having children means having a future.
But this child is favored by Fu Jin, can she be snatched away?
"You get up first, you're pregnant, it's not good for you to kneel." Song Gege hesitated.
"Gege, in those years, it was all because of the servant's misbehavior that was not good. The servant had thoughts about Fourth Master, so when seeing Gege being favored, they felt uncomfortable inside and thus... gave Gege a hard time. But looking back on these years, Gege has the best heart. Only by entrusting Gege can the servant's child be at peace. Begging Gege, please pity the servant!"
"You get up first, this matter, I am not in charge. I'm just a concubine." Song sighed.
If it's like this, being able to get a brother would definitely be a good thing!
Unfortunately, she can't make decisions for herself.
"Although you are a Gege, but you are different from others. As long as you speak up, the Fourth Master will not refuse. The Fu Jin also cannot disagree. It is indeed difficult for you to speak up, but... this child will be your reliance in the future! All the ayis in the mansion have said that it's a boy! What a wonderful thing!"
Song Gege pursed her lips and didn't say a word, but in her heart, there was intense activity.
She's still young, is she going to spend the rest of her life without having children?
"Get up, let me think for a moment." Song Gege reached out and supported her.
"Yes, I dare not disturb you anymore. Please think carefully, I just want to save my own life!" Yuning bowed and turned around: "I'm leaving."
After seeing off Yuning, Song Gege fell silent for a long time: "You guys say, how's this matter?"
"Gege, actually, Yuning said it right. Gege is different from them after all, if Gege speaks up, Master might agree." Even so, for the sake of the late little Gege and the unborn one, would Master agree?
After all, isn't Gege the first one to serve Master?
It's always different, right?
"But Fu Jin..." Song Gege hesitated.
"Ah! Back then... how did you not manage to keep that one pregnancy? Of course, it's not Lady Fugui's fault, but if the main house had taken care of you a bit more, how could you have lost it?! Afterwards, after you lost the child, if Lady Fugui hadn't repeatedly urged Li Shi, who knows what would have happened to you now! Even if Lady Fugui didn't like it, it's just a matter of being troubled for a few years and then it's over. But Gege having a son is a good thing for life!"
The girl persuaded him, thinking that once Ah Ge was born, Master would come, and at that time, it's not necessarily impossible to have another one herself!
A woman without children is always incomplete.
"Alright... I'll go ask Master." Song Gege couldn't escape this temptation after all.
She never asked Fourth Master for anything, and this matter, she still hopes that Master can agree. After all, she just wants a child. The second half of her life won't be so bleak.
The next morning, Su Peisheng stood in the sunlight and dozed off, only to see Song Gege bringing Yaotou over.
She was dressed in a lotus-colored cheongsam, looking neat and pretty. When she saw Su Peisheng, she bowed and said, "Greetings, sir."
"Ah, I don't dare, I'll just pay respects to the young lady. Has the young lady come to see Master?" Su Peisheng was taken aback, what's going on here?
"Is Master busy at the moment? Also, I have a message from Labor Gong, and I've come to see you on some business." Song Gege said with a smile.
Su Peisheng said, "There must be something going on, or else you wouldn't dare to come. Vying for favor? That's not a tactic that Fourth Master likes!"
"Ah, you wait, I'll be right back!" Su Peisheng said with a smile as he went in.
"Master, Song Gege has arrived and says she has something to ask of you. What do you think?" Su Peisheng went in and saw that the Fourth Master was reading a book, looking like it wasn't an urgent matter.
"Call her in." Fourth Master put down his book and stood up, stretching as he did so.
Song Gege came in and knelt down: "I wish you peace, Master. May you have good fortune."
"Get up." Fourth Master stretched and sat down: "Sit down."
"This humble servant thanks Master!" Song Xi bowed and finally sat down.
"Ah, has your body been feeling a bit better lately? Have you been taking your medicine?" Fourth Master asked.
"Thank you, Master, for your concern. I'm fine and have taken the medicine." Song Gege still felt a warmth in her heart.
"That's good, being in good health is a good thing. You've come to find me, what's the matter?" Fourth Master looked at her for a moment.
"This servant...". Song Gege bit her lip, then got up and knelt down: "This servant wants to ask Master Ye, this servant... wants a child. This servant doesn't dare have wild thoughts, just begging for the knees below not to be so desolate."
Fourth Master frowned, and there was discontent, what does this mean?
In broad daylight, invite pampering?
No, Song's temperament is not like that.
"Your grandfather will come see you in a few days." Fourth Master gave her face, although he was unhappy, he didn't get angry.
Song Shi knew that Fourth Master had misunderstood, and hastily said: "I dare not, I just wanted to... Miss Xu is pregnant, I... want to raise her child. I know my status is lowly, so... I beg Master to grant me this wish."
Fourth Master didn't say anything, he just stared at Song Shi with piercing eyes.
"Master, please calm down... I often dream of the late princess and my heart is truly sorrowful. I beg you to fulfill her wishes..." Song Shi hastily said.
