Chapter 210.1: Don’t Want to Live Then Just Go Die
“It’s fine, we’ll just be standing to the side watching the excitement and won’t get close. Right now, you’re also obviously pregnant, so as long as they have eyes, they won’t insensitively approach. We can also take a few more people with us, so as to ensure everything is all good. Didn’t the doctor already say, right now the fetus is very stable and didn’t really get affected by the previous matter? That’s why, you can be a bit more brave, no need to always be this cautious. Moving around more is also beneficial.” Jing Wan said.
In reality, during the last two months here, Sun Yi Jia all didn’t go out, and really was that tiny bit stuffy. Thus, she nodded her head. “First need to go inform grandmother.”
“That is only natural.” Needing to inform the family elders when going out, at present, that was what was proper.
Even in that kind of circ.u.mstance in her past life, Jing Wan still felt this all needed to be maintained. Letting them know prior to going out, so as to avoid later, the people at home not know where the person went, this bit, for the elderly, was especially important. And in special families, it was even more important. Don’t say something like not having privacy. It’s just saying ‘I’m going out’, how can that ruin your privacy? Of course, if there’s something shameful that can’t be known by others, then that was a ‘separate matter’. Even if littered with lies, some people would still think of every way possible to cover it up, no?
Under normal circ.u.mstances, Luo Old Madam naturally won’t restrict them from going out, just slightly advising a few words before letting them go. Towards those of the younger generation that knew propriety, even if she didn’t like them all that much, Luo Old Madam was still lenient. At the time, for Luo Jing Ying to be able to make her purely disgusted, that was also Luo Jing Ying’s ‘ability’.
The imperial summer residence’s ‘third and fourth’ level, counting upwards from the bottom, both occupied an extremely wide s.p.a.ce, and didn’t have many palace halls and pavilions. In essence, it was similar to the imperial garden inside the imperial palace, guarded yet not that strictly. And for the most part, every year, it would always open up for everyone to use. In the very beginning, when the princesses held banquets, it was also at this place. Just, there were even more people gathered today, not restricted to male or female, and also regardless of whether married or not. Anyone that was interested all can come. Of course, even so, surveying the area, those that were over thirty, for the most part, couldn’t be found. Rather, there were quite a few small children playing around.
Looking over as a whole, it was male and female mingling, but if one looked carefully, it was still male and female respectively gathering together. Even if ‘overstepping’, that was still just between married couples and close family. Under such numerous eyes, no one would commit foolery, doing something inappropriate.
When Yu Yao Wenzhu saw Jing Wan and them, she just called out ‘big sister’ and ran over. Jing Wan reached out to a.s.sist her, using the handkerchief to wipe the little sweat droplets on her nose, “Don’t run that quick, careful not to fall.”
Yu Yao giddily smile, pulling on Jing Wan and acting coquettishly. That intimacy between the two, for those who didn’t know, would even think they were actual sisters. “Don’t worry big sister, won’t fall.” She then greeted Sun Yi Jia to the side, carefully glancing at her stomach. She has long been taught, if she sees an auntie or older sister with a big stomach, all need to stay far away, “Big sister Jia’s stomach has a little baby?”
“Yes.” Sun Yi Jia replied with smile. Probably because she will be a mother soon, seeing small children, she all especially liked. “Does Yu Yao want to touch?” Seeing her stand by Jing Wan’s side, being a bit timid towards her stomach, yet also carried a bit of curiosity, Sun Yi Jia spoke.
“Can I?” When her married older sister returned to the maiden home with a big stomach, as well as when her elder sister-in-laws were pregnant, they all guarded against her like a thief. Especially one time, she had accidentally b.u.mped into her pregnant eldest sister, before anything even happened, her eldest sister just started wailing like a ghost, saying her thoughts were this malicious at such a young age. This made Yu Yao Wenzhu very unhappy, and also feel exceptionally wronged. Fortunately, her mother stood on her side, in the future, no longer bothering with them. “But……..”
“It’s just touching, so it’s fine.” Jing Wan rubbed her little head.
As if she was about to do something incredible, Yu Yao’s little body somewhat stiffly went forward, extending her hand, yet for a long time, didn’t dare to put it on there. That appearance really was quite amusing, and also incredibly adorable. Sun Yi Jia grasped her hand, sticking it to her stomach and feeling around. Yu Yao’s little face wrinkled into a lump, “There’s nothing special?” Just as these words came out, she suddenly screamed in surprise, swiftly pulling back her hand and retreating to Jing Wan’s side, “Big, big sister, it, it, it moved.” Like as if she’d done something wrong, she clutched onto Jing Wan’s clothes, extremely tense.
Everyone all couldn’t help but blank, including Sun Yi Jia. Carefully placing her hand on her stomach, she looked to Jing Wan, her expression a bit magical, “Really moved, the first time, the first time it moved.” She’d long heard that a certain time, the child will begin to move. Although she has always been looking forward to it very much, when it really happened without warning, she was still a bit in disbelief. That feeling was also very peculiar. “Wasn’t it said that ordinarily need to wait until the fifth month? Isn’t right now a bit early?” Sun Yi Jia was a bit worried again.
“Young madam is thinking too much. This is also something that’s different based on each person’s situation, and it’s not like there aren’t cases where it happens even earlier.” Gong mama said.
In reality, Gong mama has never really served a pregnant woman before, but her theoretical knowledge was relatively rich, able to pay meticulous attention to detail, letting others be completely unable to tell that she was actually a novice. Right now, towards Sun Yi Jia’s stomach, she also was quite attentive, taking her pulse from time to time. Her level of meticulousness even surpa.s.sed the people by Sun Yi Jia’s side. Gong mama, on one hand, calmly accepted the grat.i.tude, expressing this was what a servant should do, and on the other hand, secretly acc.u.mulate ‘actual combat experience’ in preparation for Jing Wan in the future.
Jing Wan lightly smiled, consoling Yu Yao Wenzhu, “Yu Yao, don’t be scared. You also heard mama’s words, and moreover, when other people touched, the little baby all didn’t react, yet moved as soon as you touched. This means that this little baby very much likes Yu Yao.”
“Really?” Yu Yao revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. For small children, they naturally were all happy to be liked by others.
“Naturally it’s real.” Sun Yi Jia also said with a smile.
And Yu Yao’s wet nurse at this time also came forward, first curtsying to greet, and then opening her mouth with a smile, “It can be seen wenzhu and the child in third young madam’s stomach has fate.”
The people at present actually all very much believed in these things, and it was also something believed to be worth happy over.
Actually quite a few of the onlookers have already noticed them. Regarding Sun Yi Jia’s pregnancy, it was actually long known to all. After all, at the time, her mother had made such a scene under numerous eyes, so it was very difficult to not know. Afterwards, they continuously didn’t see Sun Yi Jia appear, even suspecting whether or not what the Ding d.u.c.h.ess had said at the time was true. However, looking at it now, as expected, it was the Ding d.u.c.h.ess’s problem. Sun Yi Jia neither hid nor covered up, her complexion rosy, and setting aside the scar on her face, she actually appeared even better than prior to ruining her appearance. In addition to that shallow gentle smile, compared to that cold and aloof girl, this further made people produce a warm feeling. With her like this, to say she was getting bullied in the Luo family, then probably ninety-nine percent of people in the world were all soaked in (chinese) goldthread[1] all day.
[1] Goldthread, or coptis chinensis, is a medicinal plant used in traditional chinese medicine. Just know that it’s super bitter.
