Good Ending: She Swears She Will Not Let Him Die!

Chapter 377: Chapter 376: Impatient (Monthly Tickets 490+)

The weather in Xuancheng gradually warmed up.

Hong Jinbao’s family was talking with Yunluo about buying ice.

By the time they arrived in Lindong, it was already past the best time to buy ice. However, in the summer, ice was indispensable. Even though the price was a bit higher, Hong Jinbao’s family bought a considerable amount and stored it in the icehouse.

”I originally thought, if it’s not enough in the summer, we would buy more. It seems now, it should be enough,” Hong Jinbao’s family said with a smile.

Yunluo was pregnant, couldn’t eat cold bowls, and couldn’t have too many ice basins in the room, so the consumption decreased significantly.

”This summer is indeed challenging,” Yunluo said with a bitter smile.

Hong Jinbao’s family shook their head and comforted her, ”Madam, thankfully, your belly is still small during the summer. Just endure it a bit, and once the belly gets bigger, the weather will cool down gradually.

You’ll give birth in February next year, right in winter, so when you’re in confinement, it will be much more comfortable.”

Yunluo found it reasonable to hear.

She thought of Jiang Yunuan.

Jiang Yunuan gave birth at the end of August, carrying a big belly throughout the entire summer.

As the months went on, she couldn’t even turn over at night. By the end of the night, her back would be soaked through with sweat.

Jiang Yunuan complained a lot to Yunluo at that time, although it was meant to unsettle Yunluo, her pregnancy conditions were probably not exaggerated.

Yunluo had never experienced it but had heard Du Yunru and Xia Anxin mention it.

With this thought in mind, Yunluo felt satisfied with her first pregnancy.

By the time she couldn’t turn over, it would already be winter.

Yunluo didn’t write to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to announce it, only letting Yang Family report the joy to the Du Family in their family letter.

Old Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Zhen were both sensible people; they had the wisdom, and they would consider more for Yunluo.

Lowering her head and touching her belly, a slight confusion flashed in Yunluo’s eyes.

She still couldn’t feel the child’s presence. If it weren’t for the absence of her monthly cycle and the diagnosis confirmed by the medical woman, Yunluo would not dare to believe she was pregnant.

”Mom, when will I have any feeling?” Yunluo asked softly.

Hong Jinbao’s family laughed, ”Is the madam anxious? Don’t be anxious, in another two or three months, the little master will start moving, and you’ll feel it.”

Yunluo pouted.

Of course, she’s anxious. It took two lifetimes for her to finally have a child. How she wished she could blink, and ten months would pass in an instant, blinking again, and the child would be born crying.

Why does it still take so long...

Just as she was speaking, Jin Lan came to report that Jiuxi had returned.

Yunluo’s heart immediately leaped with joy, urging, ”Let him come over once he’s sorted, I have something to ask him.”

She couldn’t yet feel the child’s presence, but she would soon know how the child’s father reacted.

Yunluo’s eyes and brows were full of smiles. Her Princely Heir would be extremely happy.

Jiuxi changed into clean clothes and came in, smiling as he greeted Yunluo.

Yunluo propped her chin and asked him, ”What did the Princely Heir say?”

”Madam, the Princely Heir...” Jiuxi said halfway, couldn’t help but laugh, holding his belly in laughter, and seeing Yunluo waiting, he trembled as he said, ”The lord was so happy that he accidentally bumped his head.”

Yunluo widened her eyes, ”Really bumped into it?”

Jiuxi nodded repeatedly, ”I and Ming Liu were just outside the window and heard a ’thump.’

Madam, the kang bed in the lord’s room isn’t deep, and he clumsily bumped into the wall.”

Yunluo wanted to laugh, but felt heartache. However, thinking of the scene, she still found it funny and giggled.

Beside her, Jin Rui also covered her mouth, turned around, and laughed.

Mu Lianxiao and Shao Yuanzhou, both brother-in-laws, upon hearing their wives were pregnant, one bumped into a wall, the other into a pillar, what a coincidence.

After laughing for a while, Yunluo asked, ”How is the Princely Heir’s body?”

”Don’t worry madam, the Princely Heir is fine, and he asked madam to take good care of her health, saying he’d come back when he has time,” Jiuxi hurriedly said.

A slight regret flashed in Yunluo’s heart.

Having time means not having time now.

However, that’s something that can’t be helped. Instead of self-pity, it’s better to nurture the pregnancy well.

Jiuxi wanted to bring up the courtyard matters in the town, but fearing Yunluo’s disappointment, he decided to keep quiet.

Yunluo took the prescribed medicine for ten days.

Doctor Feng came for a visit again, saying that Yunluo’s body is in good condition and she could slightly move around these days.

Yunluo agreed but did not take action.

Suddenly, she felt the presence of the child.

It was like waves churning in her belly, as she lay on the Arhat Bed and retched, almost as if she was about to vomit out her heart and lungs, an indescribable discomfort.

Apart from morning sickness, Yunluo found it difficult to eat as well. The cook tried all sorts of ways to prepare meals, but dishes she could still eat yesterday became unbearable even to smell today.

Yunluo could only force herself to eat.

Even if it was a tasteless plain steamed bun, she had to force it down.

She was carrying two lives and must eat enough.

After tossing and turning for more than half a month, Yunluo, who was supposed to slowly gain weight, instead lost some weight, her entire chin becoming sharp.

Yang Family and Yan Family visited her every other day, both feeling extremely sorry for her. But the symptoms of morning sickness vary from person to person, and the only remedies were to slightly ease the discomfort.

Yang Family could only keep comforting Yunluo, saying that in just over a month, these reactions would all pass, and then she would feel comfortable.

Although she was uncomfortable, Yunluo did not find it unbearable. On the contrary, she was filled with excitement.

Experiencing morning sickness proved that there was indeed a child in her belly.

As long as she could give birth to the child safely, what did some pain matter at this moment?

It was indeed sweet like honey.

Mu Lianxiao hurried back to Xuancheng in early July.

Entering the courtyard, he immediately saw Jin Lan standing outside the door.

Mu Lianxiao walked quickly toward her, ”Where is the madam?”

Jin Lan was overjoyed, bowed to greet him, and pointed inside, ”The madam is taking a nap, sister Jin Rui is attending to her.”

Mu Lianxiao quietly approached the window, and through the half-open window, he saw Yunluo asleep on the Arhat Bed, Jin Rui sitting on a stool, fanning her gently.

Seeing Yunluo sleeping soundly, Mu Lianxiao didn’t want to disturb her and went to Jiuxi’s room nearby to wash up.

After tidying himself, Mu Lianxiao entered the main room.

Jin Rui saw him, quickly stood up.

Mu Lianxiao gestured for silence, taking the fan from Jin Rui.

Jin Rui understood and left, closing the door behind her.

Mu Lianxiao sat down, carefully looking at Yunluo’s sleeping face.

Yunluo’s belly didn’t show yet, but she had lost weight, making Mu Lianxiao’s heart ache. He gently held her hand, rubbing her palm with his thumb.

Muttering softly, Yunluo kicked her legs a little and shifted to a more comfortable position.

This restful sleep lasted until dusk.

Yunluo slowly opened her almond eyes, just waking up and still a bit groggy.

Until she met Mu Lianxiao’s eyes.
