Chapter 400 Pregnancy
The Winter Solstice is the New Year’s Day.
Family dinner at the Duke Dingguo’s Mansion on the night of the winter solstice.
Men and women sat at separate tables, separated by a screen.
During the banquet, Lin Wan'er suddenly felt nauseous and covered her mouth and retched a few times.
The married woman sitting next to her naturally knew what it meant.
Cao was surprised at first, but soon revealed a look of joy, "This... is it?"
Lin Wan'er didn't say anything, but lowered her neck with a smile.
Blushing face.
Han Jun and Lin Wan'er had been married for only a month, but they didn't expect the good news to come so quickly.
Actually, Han Zheng got married three months earlier than Han Jun, but until now, no good news has been heard.
If it is true, then this child is the first child of the younger generation of the Han family!
Preferably a boy!
The old lady’s first grandson!
When Mrs. Han heard Cao's cry, she was very surprised and immediately ordered, "Go and call the court doctor to check Jun's daughter-in-law to see if she is really pregnant!"
Adding a new member to the family is a big event and a happy occasion.
Qiao Zhenzhen was not surprised at all, but she still put down her chopsticks and looked at Lin Wan'er with a smile as she shyly lowered her head.
Lin glared at Qiao Zhenzhen.
Qiao Zhenzhen didn't get it at all.
Just enjoy the show by yourself.
The commotion here startled the men sitting on the other side of the screen.
Han Jun walked around to the women's table, smiled a little dazedly, and took Lin Wan'er's hand, "Is it true? I'm going to be a father?"
Lin Wan'er smiled gently and whispered, "It should be, but we still have to wait for the court doctor to come to confirm it."
Soon, a short old man carrying a wooden box ran into the hall.
Han Jun helped Lin Wan'er sit aside.
Cao followed the two of them.
The court physician stroked his goatee while closing his eyes and taking the patient's pulse.
Not long after, he opened his eyes and looked at Lin Wan'er for a few seconds before smiling and bowing to Madam Han, saying, "Congratulations, Madam, congratulations, Second Madam, and Second Young Master. Second Madam is indeed pregnant."
Cao was overjoyed and rushed to the old lady's side.
"Aunt, what a joy! This is Jun'er's first legitimate grandson! Congratulations, aunt! Congratulations, aunt!"
The old lady's face was filled with joy, and she said with a smile: "It is indeed a great joy, reward!"
Everyone at the table smiled sincerely, blessing the young couple and Old Madam Han.
It seemed as if he had completely forgotten the previous affair between the two of them.
Cao asked the court doctor, "How long have you been pregnant?"
The court doctor hesitated for a moment and said, "About... a month or so."
He didn't lie. One month is more than a month, and more than two months is also more than a month.
Amitabha.
Qiao Zhenzhen lowered her head, pursed her lips and tried hard to control her expression.
This also puts the court doctor in a difficult position.
If the month is too long, it will embarrass everyone in the room.
Fortunately, the elderly have enough experience in dealing with this situation.
Later, the child will be born prematurely.
Cao said happily, "That means they got it right after the wedding!"
The shouting was very loud, and the purpose was self-evident.
When they first got married, there was a period of gossip among the servants in the mansion, saying that Lin Wan'er entered the Han family while pregnant and had no shame.
The date of pregnancy was announced to make it seem as if the two of them were innocent.
It was just that the boy and girl were in love with each other and did not do anything out of the ordinary.
Qiao Zhenzhen naturally would not take the initiative to expose this matter. It would embarrass others and would not benefit her in any way.
There is no point in doing things that purely harm others and benefit yourself.
This little episode during the Winter Solstice banquet had originally passed, but the next day, Lin called Qiao Zhenzhen to her safe house and gave her a sarcastic lecture.
It's been more than three months and there's no news.
He implied that she was a hen that didn't lay eggs.
Qiao Zhenzhen didn't expect that the fire would burn herself so quickly.
She originally thought it would take at least one or two years.
I have opinions because I see that she can never get pregnant.
By then, her mission might have been completed.
Whether to go or to stay, there is always a clear distinction.
Who knew that because of Lin Wan'er, the time would be advanced so much.
She used contraception after getting married, and only Han Zheng knew about it, so she naturally couldn't tell Lin.
No one is right in this kind of thing.
If there was one thing Qiao Zhenzhen felt guilty about, it was giving birth to a child.
Han Zheng is 23 years old this year. If it were someone else, their child would have been in school for several years.
But he didn't even become a father.
It's not like modern times, where people can say they want to enjoy their own world if they don't have children after marriage. This doesn't make sense now.
This is the damn old times.
Not having children is a sin, and not being able to give birth to a son is an even greater sin.
The Han family really has a title to inherit.
It was rare that Qiao Zhenzhen did not respond coldly to Lin's accusations.
Lin felt that he had occupied the moral high ground and turned the tables on his daughter-in-law.
-
When Han Zheng got home, he was called to Anyuan again and lectured about the children.
Lin even said that if they didn't hear from him again, she would find him a few concubines who were good at giving birth.
Han Zheng naturally refused.
He did not reveal that his wife was intentionally using contraception.
He simply said, "Don't worry about this matter, mother. If I want a bastard son and you want a grandson, I can fulfill your wish when I come of age."
"What do you mean? I'm just thinking about your offspring," Lin said. "Look at people your age, how many children they already have, and yet you're just hugging your eggless wife and enjoying yourself, unaware that everyone is laughing at you! Even Jun Ge'er has surpassed you!"
"Um."
Han Zheng's expression became a little strange.
He remembered what his wife had told him, that the child almost fell on his head.
She became his eldest daughter or eldest son out of wedlock.
If this comes true, it would be terrible.
"What are you talking about? You're really no match for me." Lin slapped the small table beside her. "You actually let the second branch take the lead in this matter. You are really useless. Our first branch..."
Seeing that Lin was becoming more and more outspoken, Madam Hu quickly came out to stop her and smooth things over.
"Madam." She winked at Lin, "Brother Zheng has been busy all day and must be hungry. How about..."
Lin was reluctant.
"I'll stay in Anyuan today..."
"No." Han Zheng said expressionlessly, "The princess is still waiting for me to come back for dinner."
"Why are you going back to eat? Your wife looks like a dead chicken. She hasn't gotten pregnant in over three months. Is she sick? She claims to be a disciple of some miracle doctor. She should take care of herself first."
Han Zheng didn't say anything.
Lin's eyebrows were furrowed with wrinkles. "Isn't there a doctor named Lin in the Imperial Hospital? He's very good at treating women's diseases. Let's have him tomorrow..."
Han Zheng interrupted her, "No need."
"Why is it no longer needed?"
Seeing that her son was again favoring his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lin was furious, but she suppressed her anger.
"She'd fallen into the water before, and who knows if she had any underlying illness. Women with a cold uterus have trouble getting pregnant. You don't understand this, so just listen to me."
Han Zheng didn't want to say any more about this matter. After refusing again, he decisively ignored his mother's nagging and left Anyuan.
This really made Lin furious.
