C163 (1/2)

In the seventh and eighth month, it was already the hottest time in the capital, so Xie Jingxi was already in a bitter summer, and now that she was in the most difficult month of pregnancy, she had vomited for more than two months. She was extremely thin, and fortunately, Pei Zixi had managed it well, so her complexion was not bad.

When I went to pay my respects in Lady Zeng's room, Lady Zeng unintentionally noticed her stomach, ”Boss's wife, do you have a body? You're not going to tell me. ”

Aunt Fang hugged Jian as he glanced at him coldly, ”Yo, that's right, he looks like he's been here for three months already, I don't think I saw him in the past.”

”If you don't have eyes, why aren't you bringing a stool over to Grand Mistress?” Lady Zeng instructed the girl, ”Go and get another cushion for Grand Mistress to sit on.”

Xie Jingxi laughed and sat down, ”Mother, you don't have to busy yourself, it's not a big deal. The reason I didn't talk to you was because I was a little unstable a while ago, so I didn't say anything.

”You're just talking to the outside world now, what else is there to be afraid of at home? Are you going to stop now?”

”Imperial Physician Pei has been treating me up this whole time, saying that after three months, I will be more or less at ease. It's not too bad right now, but I'm just not good at eating.”

”Aiyo, that would be terrible.” Aunt Fang finally had a place to interrupt, ”At that time, I was still having a good time, I threw up for two or three months consecutively, and I really can't tell you the taste of it after eating it, but after that it became much better, and all the food that I had to eat was quite a lot, and all of them had been replaced. When I threw up, I liked eating sour plums, and it was also a recipe passed down from my family.

On the other hand, Aunt Fang began to know how to conduct herself. After Xie Jingqi left, she was the only one in Gu Heng's room, she carried Jian to the main courtyard and acted like a daughter-in-law every single day. After suffering a loss, she learnt her lesson.

Lady Zeng looked at the two of them happily, obviously satisfied with the change in attitude of the Aunt Fang, ”I even tasted one of the plum stewed by the Aunt Fang before, and the most appetizing summer day, the taste is also very good. I might as well take this opportunity to brew more, I like to eat.”

”If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble Aunt Fang to take care of me.” Xie Jingxi politely replied without saying much, as long as she did not cause trouble, Xie Jingxi would be willing to be at peace with her, but if there was any other involvement, then there was no need to, to put it bluntly, she did not like her.

”Aiyo, my Jian, every day is like a day. Grandmother won't be able to carry you anymore.” Lady Zeng carried Jian on his back happily, weighing him while teasing him, ”Our Jian is about to grow up.”

She then turned to Xie Jingxi and said: ”After a few more months, Grand Mistress will be born, and our house will be even more lively. In the past, I was ignorant, and had offended many people, but today, it is inconvenient for you, since there is a place where I can be used, just say it out loud. Since I have been here for a while, I have nothing to do, and am bored of it.”

A housekeeper's wife, who had a body since birth, would usually temporarily put down her family matters. Firstly, she would take care of the baby in order to have peace of mind and secondly, she would appear to be magnanimous and not give in to her authority. Although it was certain that she would be pushed back, she still had a certain attitude and almost all of it was a tacit agreement.

Xie Jingxi had never said that she was pregnant, probably because she had already been misunderstood by the Lady Zeng and did not want to release her power, but Xie Jingxi did not have this intention, adding to that, she was the only proper wife, so she had to be pushed, and since the Aunt Fang had taken the initiative to speak, then Xie Jingxi might as well go along with the flow, ”Since I have already long been like this, I don't have the energy to ask anymore, and even the Imperial Physician Pei has advised me not to waste time, thus, I will take the chance to hide myself.

Lady Zeng put down Jian, a smile on his face, ”I'm afraid that you won't be able to hide your laziness. Aunt Fang is still an aunt, how can I let her handle the matters of the family, I can actually take responsibility for you for two days.

First, she was obstructing his identity. First, she was wary of his warning, and last time, she had suffered a loss, so she did not dare to easily push him out as the butler. But today, in the Marquis Mansion, other than her, there was no one else.

Therefore, the reason why this ball was being pushed back and forth was no different from trying to push it to Xie Jingxi, so that her words would be more effective than the others, and the Marquis would give her face and agree.
