Little Jing Kong liked golden things. She would show it to him later.
Gu Jiao hadn't been to the Marquis Estate for several days.
In fact, she didn’t go there often even before, so she never felt she went less, but now she felt more and more that she hadn’t visited enough.
After sending Little Jing Kong back to Bishui Alley, she intended to go to the Marquis Estate.
Coincidentally, Gu Changqing came over, carrying a pair of birds.
Well, it wasn’t for them to play with, it was for filling up the little falcon’s stomach.
That’s right. The little falcon was much bigger now, and it was no longer satisfied with eating just bird food.
The pair of brother and sister went back to the Marquis Estate together.
Before parting ways, Gu Changqing called her to a stop and said, "I have ordered people to block the news of the accident in the yamen and Gu Jinyu's matter. Madame does not know about it for the time being."
Gu Jiao said, "Thank you very much."
It was true that Yao shi should avoid getting stimulated.
Gu Changqing opened his mouth and said, "You… don't have to be so polite with me."
"Hm?" Gu Jiao looked at him strangely.
Apparently, it was easier to admit it in front of others. Gu Changqing clenched his fist, and a trace of uneasiness flashed across his face, "You’re my younger sister!"
After saying that, as though afraid that Gu Jiao would refuse to acknowledge it or even laugh at him, he didn’t wait for Gu Jiao's response and just left without looking back!
Gu Jiao looked at his departing back, "Oh..."
The estate had just had their dinner at the moment, and it was still early in the evening.
However, by the time Gu Jiao arrived in Yao shi’s courtyard, Yao shi had fallen asleep askew on the couch bed.
She was holding an unfinished dress in her hand, which was a summer dress for Gu Jiao.
Grannie Fang carefully took the clothes from her hand, and when she turned around, she saw Gu Jiao come in. She whispered, "Eldest young miss."
Gu Jiao softened her footsteps as she walked over to the couch bed. She looked at Yao shi and said, "Madame went to bed so early?"
Grannie Fang successfully took away the clothes, stuck the needle in the thread, and put them in the embroidery basket. Then she replied to Gu Jiao, "Yes, Madame has been sleepy recently."
Gu Jiao sat down on the couch bed and said, "Brighten the oil lamp."
"Yes!" Grannie Fang flicked the wick in the oil lamp with a piece of iron.
Gu Jiao checked Yao shi's pulse and asked Grannie Fang, "How's Madame’s appetite?"
"Not good." Grannie Fang answered.
"What about her time of the month?" Gu Jiao asked.
"Madame had it just a few days ago." Grannie Fang said, "Does eldest young miss suspects that Madame——"
Gu Jiao gently put Yao shi's wrist into the quilt, "It’s not suspicion."
"Huh?" Yao shi woke up in a daze, opened her eyes and saw Gu Jiao. She was stunned and thought she was dreaming, "JiaoJiao?"
"En, it's me." Gu Jiao nodded.
Yao shi’s mood turned good at once. She sat up and pulled Gu Jiao's hand over, "When did you arrive? Have you been here long? Why didn’t you wake me up?"
Gu Jiao replied, "I just got here."
Yao shi looked at the sky through the window, "Have you eaten? I’ll have people prepare the meal."
"No hurry." Gu Jiao stared at her.
Yao Shi had a vague feeling that Gu Jiao had something to say, "JiaoJiao... Is something the matter?"
Gu Jiao nodded her head and her eyes rested on her flat belly, "You’re pregnant."
Yao shi was extremely shocked.
She was... pregnant?
How could she be pregnant?
Back then, she gave birth to Yan'er and JiaoJiao prematurely in the temple. When she returned to the capital, the physician said that due to her preterm labor and failure to take good care of herself, her vitality was damaged, and it would be difficult for her to get pregnant again in this life.
Yao shi looked at her belly in disbelief, "I... I..."
"Aiya, Madame has been taking medicine, will it be all right?" Grannie Fang thought of the antidepressant Yao shi had been consuming.
Gu Jiao shook her head, "It doesn't matter."
The truth was, she had already replaced her medicine with vitamins and calcium tablets.
Grannie Fang put her hands together, "Amitabha Buddha, blessings of Bodhisattva!"
Yao shi, on the other hand, was still having a hard time digesting this fact.
It wasn’t that she didn’t like the child, but——
She looked at her stomach, then at Gu Jiao, and there was an uneasy look in her eyes, "JiaoJiao…Do you want to have a younger brother or sister?"
Gu Jiao thought carefully and nodded, "En!"
Knowing that she was pregnant, the first thought that crossed Yao shi's mind was whether JiaoJiao and Yan'er could accept it. If not, it just showed that she hadn’t given them enough love, and she was not qualified to have another child.
"Ah Yan will like it too." Gu Jiao said.
"How do you know?" Yao shi asked.
"We’re twins." If Gu Yan didn’t like it, then she wouldn’t have this sense of like towards this little life right now. She could feel another joy sprouting in her heart, which belonged to Gu Yan.
Yao shi caressed her belly.
Was there really a little life here?
Did she..... have a chance to be a mother again?
Thinking of something, Yao shi said, "But I just had my time of the month a few days ago."
Gu Jiao said, "This kind of situation is rare, but it's not unheard of."
Yao shi became worried, "My pregnancy is not going to be unstable, right?"
"No." Gu Jiao shook her head. "Your pulse is very strong and steady."
She had been in a good mood, so her health would naturally get better. In the past, she didn't even have enough time to worry about Gu Yan, how could she have the energy to take care of herself?
After Gu Jiao took care of everything, her health got better day by day.
"Come and live with me." Gu Jiao suddenly stared at her and said solemnly, "It's not because you have nowhere to go, nor am I forcing myself to accept you due to your pregnancy. On my way here, I already decided to say this."
When she was done speaking, she didn’t move and lowered her eyes, at a loss as to what to do with the strange emotions surging from the bottom of her heart.
She fiddled with her fingers and said, "At night… I am missing you."
Yao shi's eyes suddenly became moist, the tip of her nose reddened a lot, and her throat began to sore.
This sentence moved her more than hearing that she was pregnant.
She covered her mouth to keep herself from crying out loud.
Her JiaoJiao… How could she be so good to her... How...
……
Meanwhile, after being beaten beyond recognition, Marquis Gu passed out in the carriage all afternoon before he regained his consciousness.
The first thing he did was go to Yao shi for comfort.
Being beaten so badly by that girl, only seeing Yao shi could comfort his injured heart!
However, when Marquis Gu returned home, there was only an empty courtyard waiting for him; not even Yao shi’s shadow could be found.
Marquis Gu looked dumbfounded.
Wu... Where did his wife go???
