Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 554 Sir, Please Stay (16)

"Mother, what is happiness?"

Mrs. Deng, considering her recent condition, could it be possible that she was pregnant? Deng Wenjie next to her said directly, "Mother, it would be safer to go see a doctor."

"Then let's go and have a look. I'm afraid I can't catch up with the main force."

Several people hurried to the clinic. As soon as they entered, they saw an old doctor with white hair and a kind face sitting at the table.

He first carefully inquired about his wife's recent physical condition, diet, daily life, etc., then he stretched out three fingers and gently placed them on his wife's wrist, and began to take her pulse seriously.

After a moment, the old doctor frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then said slowly: "Madam is indeed pregnant, but due to overwork recently, the signs of miscarriage are very obvious. From now on, you must not continue to overwork!"

Hearing this news, everyone was surprised and happy. One of them said quickly: "Is it true? That's great, thank God, luckily it's nothing serious."

At this time, Mrs. Deng looked at the doctor with a worried look on her face and asked in a trembling voice: "Doctor, you just said that the fetus in my belly..."

The old doctor sighed and explained earnestly, "It's just as I said before, ma'am. The child has already shown signs of miscarriage. Fortunately, the child can be saved for the time being. But it's only because the child's luck is good. He really can't stand any more trouble."

After hearing this, the woman's face turned even paler and her lips trembled, not knowing how to respond.

Seeing this, the people nearby quickly comforted her, "Don't worry too much, ma'am. We can definitely find a way to keep the baby."

At this time, the medicine boy next to the old doctor walked to the medicine cabinet and skillfully grabbed a few herbs. After wrapping them up, he handed them to the lady. The doctor instructed: "This is a pregnancy-maintaining medicine. Madam, remember to take it on time. In addition, you must stay in bed and rest during this period of time."

After getting the medicine, the group left the clinic. As soon as she left the clinic, Mrs. Deng looked down at her child, who was not pregnant yet but could be lost at any time, and she couldn't help but feel sad.

She knew that given her current physical condition, she might not be able to go with everyone else.

At this moment, Deng Wenjie beside her said to her with concern: "Mother, you really can't walk in your current physical condition. And the capital is still five or six days away from here. How about this, you find a place to rest here for a while, and then set off for the capital when you are better."

"Then the others..."

"I will make arrangements for Auntie and the others. My father is urging me to go there quickly. Once the arrangements are made in the capital, I will send someone to pick you up."

"Is this the only way?"

Looking at the fetus that Mrs. Deng can still save, Gu Yuxi can only say that the plot has deviated from its original trajectory. She is considering whether to save the fetus or not?

"Mother, should I stay too?"

"Isn't it good to accompany mother?"

"I want to go to the capital."

"Sister, you wait here for your brother. He will come to pick you up in a few days, okay?" Deng Wenjie was afraid that his mother would worry too much, so he asked Deng Moci to accompany her to relieve her boredom.

After much persuasion, Deng Moci gave up the idea of ​​following the main force to the capital, and Deng Wenjie got on his horse. From then on, he would not care about so many people, after all, several illegitimate sons had already arrived in the capital.

"be careful on the road."

"understood."

Mrs. Deng and others will stay in the inn for about half a month. Gu Yuxi thinks this place is good because it will be Gu Beicheng's future fiefdom.

It only takes three days to travel from here to the capital by horseback, but for the elderly, the weak, the sick and pregnant like Mrs. Deng, it can only take half that time.

On the second day, the woman who was drinking the pregnancy-preserving medicine asked, "Why is there so much noise?"

"Madam, Aunt Mei from the second house lost her child due to heavy bleeding. But when she woke up, she found that everyone from the second house had left. Only she, a daughter, and two servants were left in the inn. The second young master arranged a small courtyard for them."

"I see."

Men are inherently fickle and unfaithful. Her husband treats her better than other men, but after not seeing each other for such a long time, she cannot guarantee that he will still think about her, so she has to go to the capital as soon as the fetal position is stable.

Aunt Mei is now abandoned here. The second son is sentimental. Who will remember this old lover when he arrives in the capital?

"Madam, why don't we buy a small yard? It will be safer to live in this way."

"Don't waste money. There are people living everywhere. We can just rest for a few days and then leave."

Gu Yuxi fell into deep thought. If Deng Yuxin stayed here, how would the plot unfold in the future? Was it possible that Aunt Mei would still die?

However, given Aunt Mei's persistent nature and the fact that her son has already arrived in the capital, there is still a chance that she will return to the capital, but she will most likely fall out of favor by then.

A month later, Mrs. Deng's health improved and the fetus was completely saved. Deng Wenjie also sent someone to pick them up.

At the entrance of the Ministry of Works' Changshi's residence, the guard reminded, "Madam, the young master said that when you arrive in the capital, you should just focus on taking care of your pregnancy and don't let irrelevant people get in the way."

"I see."

Mrs. Deng held the handkerchief tightly. Her husband went to the official brothel half a month ago and spent a lot of money to take a woman as a concubine. The one in the second wife also found a new love.

The baby in her belly is more important. After all, I am just a concubine, a servant.

The magnificent capital city overwhelmed Mrs. Deng. After working hard for her husband for so many years, she also wanted to make money, buy some land, and pave the way for her children. The money she had saved in the past was now put to good use.

A few days later, Mingzhu came with two maids and said, "Madam, these are the two new maids I found for Miss, Huahong and Liulu."

"Meet Madam."

"That's right. From now on, the young lady will be your master. You must serve her attentively and take good care of your master. If you are lazy or negligent... humph, don't blame me for being rude!"

The old woman's eyes swept across the maids and servants in front of her, frightening them so much that they all bowed their heads and replied, "We know about it."

Seeing that everyone agreed, the old woman nodded with satisfaction, waved her hand and said, "Everyone go down."

After everyone left, another old woman walked in quickly, holding a thick stack of account books and contract documents in her hands.

The old woman came closer, bowed and said, "Madam, these are the new land and shops purchased last month. I brought them all to you. These are all the best lands, and the shops are all in the prosperous areas in the south of the city. The total cost was a full 30,000 taels of silver." As she spoke, she gently placed the things in her hands on the table.

Mrs. Deng glanced at the things on the table and said slowly, "Put it there for now. I have to take good care of it. After all, I am no longer the housekeeper now, and the expenses of the whole big house are naturally higher than ours."
