His daughter returned home with such an attitude.
"My husband will treat me well in the future, right?"
Jiujiu looked at Nie Lve with anticipation. Nie Lve blushed and nodded, "Yes."
Jiujiu smiled happily when she got Nie Lve's affirmation. "My husband treats me so well."
Nie Lve blushed, "It's okay."
He was just a little bit better.
Even a fool could guess that Jiujiu was unhappy when she returned home after leaving the Duke's Mansion.
Nie Lve couldn't bring Jiujiu back, so he took Jiujiu to a house three streets away from the Duke's Mansion. He pointed to the house and asked Jiujiu, "Madam, do you like this house?"
Jiujiu looked out of the window. This house seemed to be where Nie Lve and Xiao Jiuniang moved out of the Duke's Mansion.
Nie Lve told Xiao Jiuniang that he was the one who found it. Now it seemed that Nie Lve had the idea of moving out long ago. Lin Wanxin's proposal was just pushing the boat with the current.
Jiujiu nodded, "Very good. Will this be our home in the future?"
Nie Lve hadn't heard the word 'home' for a long time after his mother died. At this moment, hearing it from Jiujiu's mouth, he didn't know why but he felt inexplicably warm.
Nie Lve nodded, "This will be our home in the future. If madam likes it, we can move in tomorrow."
Jiujiu looked hesitant, "What about sister-in-law?"
Nie Lve held Jiujiu's hand, "Madam, don't worry. I'll take care of everything."
Nie Lve didn't go back that day. The next day, he directly asked someone to inform the Duke's Mansion and moved out.
Nie Lve only brought a few servants out of the house. The rest were all bought from the slave traders. As for the slave contracts, they were all in Jiujiu's hands.
Nie Lve wasn't so considerate when Xiao Jiuniang was there.
Xiao Jiuniang was placed in an unfamiliar house. The servants inside were the housekeeper and the troublemaker Mother Li. Xiao Jiuniang had suffered a lot in the beginning.
When it came to Jiujiu's place, Nie Lve couldn't wait to settle everything for Jiujiu so that she could live comfortably in Jiujiu's place.
Lian Xin was naturally brought out by Nie Lue.
Lianxin had seen Jiujiu's methods and the contract was still in Jiujiu's hands. Naturally, she was extremely loyal.
What Jiujiu didn't expect was that Nie Lve also brought Mother Li here.
However, just like in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, Mother Li was a rough servant woman. Because her legs hadn't recovered yet, she was still recuperating in the house.
After Jiujiu and Nie Lve moved out, Nie Lve disappeared after saying that he had something to do, just like how Xiao Jiuniang remembered him.
After Nie Lve left, Jiujiu didn't feel bored. Every day, if she wasn't looking at paintings, she would go out and watch plays. Her life was very comfortable.
Until one month later, Jiujiu suddenly felt nauseous when she was eating fish.
Jiujiu then remembered that Xiao Jiuniang was pregnant when she and Nie Lve had sex for the first time.
Counting the days, this child was almost two months old.
When Jiujiu vomited, the housekeeper's eyes lit up. He immediately sent someone to call a doctor. When the doctor came back and confirmed that Jiujiu was really pregnant, the old housekeeper was so excited that his eyes turned red. He looked at Jiujiu with sparkling eyes as if he was looking at a piece of gold. In the Eighth Library
Lianxin and others were the same. It was as if Jiujiu's stomach was a big piece of gold. It was extremely precious.
Jiujiu was scared. She waved her hand and said that everyone would be rewarded. Then, she asked the housekeeper to tell the news to Nie Lve.
Although the housekeeper didn't say it, Jiujiu knew that he had been in contact with Nie Lve.
Sure enough.
On the third day of Jiujiu's pregnancy, Nie Lve returned.
Unlike his usual self, Nie Lve was travel-worn. His wheat-colored skin had turned into a bronze color, and his handsome and resolute face had become unrecognizable. However, when Jiujiu looked over, Nie Lve pulled the corner of his mouth and gave her a faint smile. "Madam, it's been hard on you."
Jiujiu smiled gently. "It's my duty to bear a child for my husband. But my husband, I haven't seen you for a few days. Why have you become so thin?"
Nie Lve coughed lightly. "It's okay. My wife, do you want to eat or play today? I'll send someone to find it for you."
Jiujiu patted the back of Nie Lve's hand and said softly, "Ever since I found out that I was pregnant, the steward has prepared everything. If the estate doesn't have it, he has sent people outside to find it for me. As for my husband, you have to stay at home for a few days and take care of your body."
Nie Lve had to finish half a month's work in three days to come back this time. This time, after visiting Jiujiu, he had to go back immediately after staying for a day. How could he have time to take care of his body?
Nie Lve looked at Jiujiu's cheeks, which still had baby fat, and said gently, "I've made you worry. But I'm very busy. I'm afraid that I won't be able to finish it in ten days or half a month. Don't worry, my wife. Give me three more years and I'll definitely be able to accompany you."
Nie Lve said as if he was swearing.
Jiujiu looked at Nie Lve's serious eyes and nodded. "My husband, don't work too hard."
Nie Lve smiled. "I don't think it's hard."
Previously, he had only married this wife so that he could move out of the Duke Zhen Residence. But now, he realized that marrying this wife was like marrying a honey jar.
The two of them hadn't spent much time together, but when he thought of this wife, his heart would always be sweet. Even when he went out to do things, his body was full of energy.
This time, Nie Lve stayed at home for a day and left at night.
After Nie Lve left, Jiujiu obediently took care of the baby.
However, when she was three months pregnant, she suddenly heard from the housekeeper that Lin Wanxin's baby had died. The housekeeper asked her if she wanted to go and take a look.
Jiujiu didn't have a good impression of Lin Wanxin. She was a little sad that she couldn't keep the baby, but she said, "Sister-in-law is kind and considerate. She'll definitely understand my inconvenience and send a generous gift."
The housekeeper didn't intend to let Jiujiu go. Seeing that Jiujiu didn't want to go, the housekeeper wanted to prepare the gift.
After sending the gift, Jiujiu continued to take care of the baby.
When she was five or six months pregnant, Jiujiu's stomach swelled like a balloon, and the pregnancy symptoms came one after another.
She had to wake up several times at night, and her legs would cramp when she slept. Moreover, her legs and feet were swollen, and her cheeks were often swollen. Although she was still beautiful, she wasn't as radiant as before.
However, even so, Jiujiu insisted on taking a walk in the courtyard every day.
One day, Jiujiu took a walk in the courtyard. When she was about to go back, an old maid suddenly knelt in front of Jiujiu and said, "Madam, I know I'm wrong. Please forgive me this time."
The old maid's voice was shrill. When she shouted, it was like a pig being slaughtered. It was so noisy that it gave people a headache.
Jiujiu didn't say anything. The old woman smashed her head on the ground, making the ground creak. She only stopped when she smashed her head on the ground.
Jiujiu had a headache from the old maid's shouting. She turned to look at Lianxin.
