There was a doctor in the Luo Mansion, so the doctor came quickly.
Because he was a white-haired old doctor, there was no need to avoid arousing suspicion.
Separated by a handkerchief, the old doctor carefully took Jingwan's pulse. Because the old madame had already sent someone to inform him to take Third Young Lady's pulse later, knowing that Jingwan was favored, he naturally did not dare to slight her.
"Third Young Lady has a good foundation. There is nothing wrong with her body. She will be fine after some rest." In fact, the old doctor was very surprised by Jingwan's health. Even if she looked thin now, she was much stronger than many young ladies.
Hearing this, Madame Zhang was finally relieved.
Then, under the eyes of a group of people, Concubine Bai braced herself and stretched out her hand to let the doctor take her pulse. In the eyes of others, Jing Wan letting the doctor take her pulse could be considered a grace. After all, this doctor came from the Imperial Academy of Medicine. Not to mention a concubine, even a master who didn't have any status in this fu wouldn't be able to invite him. If she dared to say half a word of refusal, she would be seen as unable to differentiate good from bad.
Since she could not hide it, she could only face it calmly. After all, she was not very sure. Her period was not very accurate. It was good to confirm it, so that she would not be always on tenterhooks. "Thank you for your trouble."
After the doctor felt the pulse, he was basically sure. However, he could not make the slightest mistake. He changed his hand and then touched his beard. "Congratulations, Second Master and Second Madame. This concubine is pregnant. It's about a month and a half."
Madam Zhang froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is really a joyous occasion. Our second branch hasn't had a child for many years. This child might be a white and chubby boy. Later, I'll tell mother this good news and let her be happy."
Then, she asked the nanny in charge to see the doctor out.
Luo Rongyan was a little surprised. He was happy, but not much. After all, he had five children. Compared to his best friend's family, who prayed to the gods, prayed to Buddha, looked for doctors, and ate all kinds of folk remedies, but still did not have a child, he was definitely considered to have a lot of children. However, the people of the world all paid attention to having more children. Luo Rongyan softened his tone towards Concubine Bai. "Since you are already pregnant, just take good care of him."
"Yes." Seeing Luo Rongyan's attitude, Concubine Bai felt shy and happy. It was hard not to be moved by this handsome and elegant man. She was originally an unfavored concubine's daughter and had long given up hope for her husband. When that nominal uncle of hers had sent her away, her heart had been like dead ashes. But after seeing the Luo family's second master, she suddenly felt that the heavens still pitied her. She had done the right thing by trying to conceive this child.
Ji Yiniang gritted her teeth in hatred. For so many years, she wanted to be pregnant again, wanted to give birth to a son. Unfortunately, there was no movement at all. Her body was clearly very good, but she couldn't get pregnant. Now, she actually let this slut beat her to it. Seeing that her master, who had always been indifferent to them, valued this slut more, she was about to die of jealousy.
Concubine Bai suddenly glanced at Jingwan, who was looking down in silence, and suddenly said, "Today, we have to thank Third Miss. Otherwise, this concubine doesn't know what to do. If this concubine accidentally hurt my master's child, then this concubine can't absolve herself from the blame. I don't know whether Third Miss likes a younger brother or a younger sister? Previously, I've always heard that Third Miss is a good older sister. "Now, she no longer concealed it and rubbed her belly. She touched her belly and looked at Jingwan with a trace of provocation.
Jingwan could feel that her mother was truly happy because of Concubine Bai's pregnancy, but there was also a hidden bitterness that even she herself didn't notice. As long as a woman had the slightest bit of admiration for her husband, she would definitely not be indifferent if her husband had a child with another woman. Her mother's heart was filled with her father and was filled with love.
She was an unmarried girl. She couldn't talk about having children, so she could only silently comfort her mother, even if the other party didn't know her intentions.
Originally, exposing Bai shi was to give her a warning. But why did this person have to rush forward to court death?
Jingwan looked at her and suddenly tilted her head. Her smile was like a flower, the most pure and beautiful. But the words she said couldn't help but make the hearts of those who understood tremble. "My father and mother's child, whether it's a younger brother or a younger sister, I like them all."
As long as her father didn't side with Bai shi, it was too easy to keep the child and get rid of the mother.
Many of them felt that Bai shi was a smart person who didn't lack beauty and skills. But how could she become stupid with a child in her belly? Did she really think that she had the capital to step on Third Miss's head? Ten months of pregnancy, it hasn't even been two months. Even if she safely gave birth to a son in the future, so what? Third Miss has a legitimate brother and parents who love her. Even if she marries, she won't rely on you, a son of a concubine. On the contrary, if you win her over, there will be endless benefits.
Concubine Ji pulled her handkerchief and sneered. Jealousy was jealousy, but towards concubine Bai, there was some contempt.
"Master …" Concubine Bai seemed to have suffered a great grievance. She looked at Luo Rongyan and was about to cry. That delicate and pitiful appearance made people want to hold her in their arms and pity her.
Unfortunately, Luo Rongyan wasn't a person who cared for women most of the time, especially him who didn't understand the twists and turns of the inner courtyard. He felt that Bai shi's crying was inexplicable. Everything was clearly fine and everyone was happy. Were you looking for bad luck? And the scene was a bit strange. It was related to the eldest daughter, but he was sure that the source was Bai shi. He wasn't interested in getting to the bottom of it and frowned. "Why are you crying?"
Bai shi choked and her face turned green and white. Those who didn't like her couldn't help but stifle their laughter.
"Enough, go back and take care of the child. Don't raise the child into a crying bag." Luo Rongyan stood up and dusted his robes. As the male master of the courtyard with the highest status, when he stood up, the others naturally wouldn't continue to sit. Luo Rongyan looked at Jingwan. "It's late. It's time to go to the main courtyard to pay respects to your grandfather."
Jingwan nodded in agreement.
The nanny in charge returned. She didn't know what happened and only felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange. Because the masters were going to the main courtyard, she didn't say much and respectfully sent them off. Then she looked at the pale Bai shi. "Concubine Bai, you should go back and rest early."
Bai shi had never been treated like this since she entered the Luo family. She gritted her teeth, pinched her handkerchief, and turned to leave.
Concubine Ji fanned herself with the handkerchief like a fan and went back to her small courtyard in a carefree manner.
Following her was concubine Ping, who had been acting like a block of wood.
Luo Rongyan and his wife took the four children and a group of servants and majestically went to the main courtyard.
Jingwan looked at the Luo residence that wasn't luxurious but was full of elegance. Her thoughts drifted a bit.
The Luo family was a scholarly family that had been passed down for two or three hundred years. Although it couldn't be called an aristocratic family, its reputation wasn't small. The current head of the family, Luo Peishan, was the current Minister of Rites. Although he didn't have as much power as the cabinet ministers or the Minister of Personnel, he was still an important official of the imperial court.
In addition, Jingwan's second granduncle was a famous scholar in the last twenty years. He taught countless students and could be said to have students all over the world. However, this granduncle's temper was a bit strange. Not only was he unmarried, he didn't leave behind a single child. Grandfather wanted him to live out his remaining years in the Luo residence, but he flatly refused. It was likely that other than Grandfather, no one knew where he was now.
However, he had many disciples, so there was no need to worry about him not having anyone to serve him.
As for the Minister of Rites, Luo Peishan, Jingwan hadn't seen him that many times. Even if they had lived under the same roof, it was common to not see him for several months. However, in Jingwan's eyes, this person's life could be called a legend.
The Luo family's foundation was in Guangyuan Prefecture's Qi 'an Prefecture. Luo Peishan could be said to be full of wisdom. At the age of twenty, he was third place in the imperial examinations. At that time, the Luo family wasn't prominent, but it could be said to be full of nobility. When Madame Luo was in her boudoir, she was also doted on. As a result, Luo Peishan was "under arrest".
Luo Peishan was an ambitious person. He didn't want to rely on his wife's nepotism to stay in the capital. Instead, he asked to be sent out. Madame Luo firmly supported him. No matter how hard it was, she always accompanied him.
No matter where he was, Luo Peishan's political achievements were always outstanding. In the capital, with the help of his wife's family, it could be said that he was promoted step by step. Not long after Jingwan was born, after her great-grandparents died one after another, the whole family returned to Qi 'an Prefecture to observe mourning. Grandfather Luo Peishan had been in mourning for almost six years. In this treacherous place of officialdom, not to mention six years, even two or three years was very fatal. There was basically no room for a comeback. However, Luo Peishan climbed up and even sat in the position of Minister. Jingwan even faintly felt that he might have the ambition to go further.
As for Madame Luo, because of her early years of hard work and the injury she suffered when giving birth to a young daughter, she was basically recuperating in Qi 'an Prefecture. Because of her grandfather's high position, the others gradually entered the capital. It wasn't until three years ago that, other than Madame Luo, Jingwan, and Jingwan's fourth uncle's family, the rest of Luo Peishan's branch all entered the capital. At that time, Jingwan stayed, other than Madame Luo's expectations, she also liked Qi' an Prefecture very much. Because Guangyuan Prefecture's Qi 'an Prefecture was in the south, and she was also a southerner in her previous life.
