After returning to the mansion, Luo Ran briefly freshened up, quickly fed the two children with milk, and played with them for a while. He didn't get up until they both fell asleep and was about to rest for a while, when he heard hurried footsteps outside. Then Chunyu came in with a panicked look on her face. She didn't even have time to catch her breath and said, "Miss! It's not good, the eldest lady fainted!"
"What?"
The hosta in Luo Ran's hand was not steady and fell to the ground with a snap, breaking into several pieces.
She stared intently at the jade fragments on the ground, her heart pounding. He raised his hand to cover his chest, and it took him a while to catch his breath.
Youqing was also stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward, caressing Luo Ran's back and chanting: "Peace every year, peace every year!"
Look at Chunyu again.
Luo Ran also raised his head and looked at her questioningly.
Chunyu said hurriedly: "After Madam came back, she heard that Mr. Hou drank too much, and happened to make a sobering soup in the small kitchen, so Madam went to Mr. Hou's study in person. But I don't know what happened in the study. I heard that Madam's expression changed as soon as she entered. I came out badly, and not long after I returned to Qionghuayuan, I was called by the old lady again. I heard that the old lady got very angry, and then she fainted!"
There weren't many things related to his father that could make Yuan Shuyi lose control on the spot.
Not daring to think too much, he said to Chunyu: "Go and ask when father returned to the mansion."
Because they had to go to court, the men and women were separated when they went there. When she came back, she thought her father would be waiting for them, but after leaving the palace, she heard from the servants that the Marquis had left the banquet early because he drank too much wine.
Chunyu said hurriedly: "I have asked, but the Marquis only came back one stick of incense ahead of schedule."
A stick of incense, plus the time since they came back, it's more than half an hour, and I can do a lot of things.
Without enough time to think about it, Luo Ran hurried to Ningfuyuan.
When I arrived, I found that my second and third aunts were all there.
Mrs. Cao nodded imperceptibly when she saw her coming in.
Seeing this, Luo Ran finally felt relieved, but when he turned around and saw the smile that couldn't be suppressed on the corner of Li's mouth, his heart started to lift again.
After entering, Luo Ran saw an abnormal flush on Luo Deyun's face. Although his skin was dark, if he looked closely, he could still see something was wrong. Looking at his desperately clenched fists, his guess became more certain.
"Dad, how is mother?"
There was no time to worry about his father, so Luo Ran asked about Yuan Shuyi's situation first.
Lord turned around and saw his daughter coming. A flash of discomfort flashed across his face. He glanced at the inner room and said, "The doctor is checking the pulse."
Luo Ran wanted to ask: Then why don't you go in?
After thinking about it, he endured it and said, "I'm going to see my mother."
"Um."
Luo Deyun wanted to say something, but in the end he just responded.
From the corner of his eye, Luo Ran saw the old lady sitting on the couch with an angry look on her face. Xia Fang was kneeling next to her, with her sleeves covering half of her face. Her shoulders were shaking slightly, and she could tell she was crying.
Luo Ran turned back and took a closer look at his father. Seeing that his clothes were neatly dressed, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and entered the inner room.
The doctor was checking the pulse, while Granny Shi and Lu Rong stood by with nervous expressions.
Luo Ran looked at Yuan Shuyi, who was lying on the couch with his eyes closed. His face was still a little pale and his lips had lost color. It was hard to imagine what she saw at that time, which made the always strong and steady person faint.
The doctor quickly checked my pulse.
Luo Ran asked: "Doctor, how is my mother?"
The doctor stroked his beard with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, County Master, my wife is happy!"
"What?!"
Luo Ran was surprised.
It stands to reason that it has been almost three months since dad and Yuan Shuyi got married. If it is not too soon, it is normal to be pregnant at this time.
Looking at Aunt Shi and Lu Rong, their faces were full of joy, but they didn't dare to show it due to Luo Ran's presence.
Luo Ran didn't care what they were thinking and continued to ask: "How long?"
The doctor said: "It should be more than a month ago, but my wife usually has irregular menstruation, right?"
He looked back at Aunt Shi.
Aunt Shi said hurriedly: "Yes, girl, no, because my wife worked hard when she was a child, her menstruation has never been accurate. She often comes once every two months."
The doctor nodded: "That's right, but you don't have to worry. Madam just has some qi stagnation and blood stasis due to overwork. Please pay attention to conditioning during pregnancy, and she will be fine in the future."
"What about the child?"
Aunt Shi finally couldn't help but ask.
Luo Ran is also very concerned about this unborn brother or sister.
The doctor smiled and said: "Don't worry, both the adult and the fetus are fine. Just be careful not to get angry or overwork yourself in the future."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Aunt Shi quickly replied.
Luo Ran nodded and said, "Youqing, send the doctor out. Lu Rong, follow the doctor to get the medicine."
After everyone went out, Luo Ran's face suddenly dropped, and Granny Shi's heart skipped a beat. She really wasn't sure what the legitimate daughter left behind by the former wife was thinking. What if she didn't like her wife to have children?
Aunt Shi was thinking a lot, and then she heard Luo Ran say in a cold voice: "What exactly happened, please explain it to me word for word!"
Seeing that Aunt Shi was a little nervous, she added, "Don't worry, I will never let my mother suffer in vain!"
With her words, Granny Shi felt like she had taken a reassurance and said: "When I came back from the palace, Madam heard that Mr. Hou drank too much and was resting in the study. It happened that the hangover soup in the small kitchen was almost ready. Madam, it was easy to go back." I changed my clothes and took Tang to the study. Who knows..."
Unexpectedly, when Yuan Shuyi arrived at the study, she didn't see Qingshan who usually guarded the door. She knocked on the door, but there was no movement inside. She wanted to turn around and leave, but suddenly she heard a loud noise inside.
Without thinking, she opened the door and walked a few steps into the inner room where she rested temporarily. She saw Luo Deyun sitting by the bed, and Xia Fang, disheveled, hugging his thigh.
Yuan Shuyi's first reaction was to run away.
As soon as I returned to Qionghuayuan, I turned around and was called over by the old lady again.
When they arrived at Ningfuyuan, the old lady put an unfilial basin on her head without saying a word, saying that her stomach had not moved after several months of marriage, and asked her to raise Xia Fang as her aunt.
Yuan Shuyi was always soft on the outside but strong on the inside. Coupled with the scene she just saw in the study, her head was confused for a moment. She just thought that this was a plan planned by their mother and son. She contradicted the old lady on the spot and fainted when she was about to turn around and leave. .
Then what Luo Ran saw later was Luo Deyun standing in the middle of the ground with a dark face, and Xia Fang crying aggrievedly.
After hearing this, Luo Ran didn't say anything, but gently tucked Yuan Shuyi's quilt, told Aunt Shi to take care of her, and turned around and left the inner room.
As soon as she left, Yuan Shuyi opened his eyes, placed his hands gently on his lower abdomen, and shed a crystal teardrop from the corner of his eyes.
Aunt Shi said hurriedly and nervously: "Madam..."
Yuan Shuyi smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, Mommy, I was wrong just now."
Besides, Luo Ran came out of the inner room, glanced at Mrs. Li first, then looked at Xia Fang, walked to the armchair and sat down, lowered her head and smoothed the hem of her clothes, and said unhurriedly: "Miss Xia Fang is indeed young and has good legs. I just came back from the palace with my grandmother for such a long time. Instead of helping my grandmother wash up, I actually ran to the study room outside. Tell me, who ordered you to steal the secrets of the Marquis Mansion? "
