She was just thinking that if she stayed here for several months, she would likely be unable to conceal her expanding belly. She was caught in a dilemma for a while.
Nonetheless, she would stay with them despite her reservations about how she would explain the situation to her family. One day, she was lying on her bed, feeling lazy and not wanting to move, Wanyan Shisan came in and yelled, “Qianhua, it’s mealtime already, why are you still lying in bed?”
Wanyan Shisan walked into the room, but when he saw that she was on the bed in the inner bedroom, he stopped and asked from behind the curtain on the bed.
“I don’t feel like eating, Uncle Shisan, you go ahead. I won’t join you,” Wanyan Qianhua replied without getting up.
Seeing this, Wanyan Shisan frowned. “Why does your voice sound so weak? Are you ill?”
“No, I’m just a bit tired.”
When he heard her answer, Wanyan Shisan nodded. “Alright! You rest then. I’ll bring you some food later.” He left the room after saying this.
The maid saw Wanyan Shisan out, and when she returned to the room, she heard Wanyan Qianhua say, “Bring me some pickled plums.”
“Yes,” the maid answered before exiting the room.
Wanyan Qianhua, laying on the bed, let out a gentle sigh as the room became silent again. She had a stuffy feeling in her chest and mild nausea, but she forced herself not to vomit.
She took her pulse as she reflected on how her body had been feeling lately and smiled because everything had gone as expected.
Feng Jiu had said that she would become pregnant immediately after taking the pill. As it turned out, she was indeed pregnant. Her expression softened as she thought about the child growing inside her belly.
This was her child!
When Wanyan Shisan arrived with a food box, he found Wanyan Qianhua at the table, nibbling on the sour plums. When he saw her bite into the green fruit, he grimaced automatically at the sourness.
“What’s so delicious about this fruit? It’s terribly sour and doesn’t even fill you up.” He walked over, placed the food box on the table, and said, “I’ve brought you some food. The fish today is particularly tender, give it a try.”
But as he got closer, he saw her expression suddenly change. She got up, covered her mouth and ran to the washroom. Shortly after, the sounds of retching echoed from inside.
He asked the maid, “What’s wrong with her?”
“Miss… miss isn’t feeling well,” the maid replied softly.
“Why haven’t you called a doctor if she’s not well? What are you waiting for? Go get a doctor!” Wanyan Shisan commanded sternly with a frown on his face.
“Yes, yes,” the maid stammered, about to leave, when her mistress’ voice drifted over.
“There is no need for a doctor. Take this food box away and have the kitchen send me a bowl of bird’s nest soup.” Wanyan Qianhua said as she emerged from the washroom with a pale face. She sat down at the table and after taking a deep breath, immediately grabbed another sour plum to eat.
She felt a little better after eating a sour plum, which helped with her nausea.
The maid obeyed her instructions, took the food box, and left.
“What’s wrong with you?” Wanyan Shisan asked, looking at her. “Your face is really pale. If you are feeling unwell, let’s have a professional examine you. You don’t seem to be fine at all.”
