Mo Zhenzhen was sitting in the boudoir of the original owner before she got married, surrounded by busy maids, who were busy moving the furnishings out of the house and replacing them with new ones.
This house has not been lived in since the original owner got married. All the valuable things in the house were taken away by the original owner as dowry. Now there are only some bulky furniture and things that the original owner didn't like left in the house.
These things had a bit of a smell after not seeing the light of day for such a long time. The step-wife carefully replaced Mo Zhenzhen with new ones, and then went outside to ask a doctor to come back and diagnose Mo Zhenzhen's pulse.
Mo Zhenzhen was also curious about her current pulse condition, and the old doctor's words could be used as evidence, so Mo Zhenzhen did not avoid it and actually asked the old man to take her pulse.
The other party took his pulse for a long time, and then smiled and said.
"My wife's pulse is stable and her body is healthy. The fetus in her belly is also doing well. However, she is pregnant with more than one child, so she still needs to be prepared. She may give birth before the day is up."
This doctor is also a long-established doctor. The step-wife was waiting for the answer. After hearing this, there was a smile on her face.
However, when sending the old doctor off, the step-wife still asked the old doctor to tell the public that Mo Zhenzhen's mood swings were too great, her fetus was turbulent and she needed to rest.
The explanation given by the nun next to the step-wife was that Zuo Dingmin’s backyard was uneasy, and there was a concubine brought back by the general who was also pregnant, and she was protected by the general like a heart. The step-wife was afraid of her stepdaughter. She was at a disadvantage after going back, so she wanted Mo Zhenzhen to stay at her parents' house for a longer period of time. It was best to go back after the baby was born and the confinement period was smooth.
The old doctor's medical skills are quite famous in the capital. Those wealthy families who can't find an imperial doctor like to ask this old doctor to go there. Therefore, this old doctor has seen a lot of scandals in the back house.
The old doctor was also very understanding. After hearing this explanation, he expressed his understanding and silently accepted the five hundred taels of silver notes handed to him by his grandma. The old doctor had a sad look on his face.
"The old lady is so compassionate and can only treat her own daughter like this. Madam Zuo is so lucky."
It was just a casual remark. When the old doctor said this, he agreed.
After settling down Mo Zhenzhen, the step-wife left behind two successful nannies and four smart maids.
The more she thought about what Mo Zhenzhen said, the hotter her heart became, but she didn't dare to make the decision on such a big matter by herself. She needed to ask the master for instructions before making a decision.
Mo Zhenzhen was helped to lie down on the chaise longue. As soon as she lay down, a little maid brought pillows and stuffed them around her waist and armpits to share Mo Zhenzhen's overly big belly.
After lying down with her belly supported, Mo Zhenzhen felt the pressure on her spine belatedly.
Mo Zhenzhen's belly grew suddenly, and the digestion method of swallowing the sub-personality is different from that of pregnancy. Her belly will get smaller and smaller over time and eventually return to normal, so she will feel more and more relaxed. Basically you won't feel any pressure.
But this time, she did feel the inconvenience.
She reached out and touched her belly, but she still felt it felt strange.
This belly gave Mo Zhenzhen an unreal feeling. She tried taking deep breaths and trying to feel the conditions of the organs in her abdominal cavity, but her senses gave her feedback that everything was normal.
Mo Zhenzhen had never really been pregnant, but she felt that with such a big belly, if it were real, the fetus would definitely compress her internal organs.
But no, she felt that she was normal and there was nothing wrong with her.
Not to mention internal organ problems, Mo Zhenzhen didn't even have the symptom of frequent urination that pregnant women had, as if her belly was just a decoration.
Her hands touched her belly again and again. If there weren't so many people waiting around, she would have wanted to pat it to see if it was hollow inside.
And after such a long time, she didn't feel fetal movement, but the doctor said there was no problem, both mother and baby were healthy...
If this wasn't ancient times, she really wanted to go to the hospital to take a picture.
After all, giving birth to children is no joke, especially in ancient times, giving birth to children under such circumstances and environment, or multiple births, is no different from wandering around the gates of hell.
Mo Zhenzhen has always prioritized her own life. She never dreamed that she would give birth to a child, so she couldn't help but think more about it.
In fact, Mo Zhenzhen hoped that the belly was enlarged due to indigestion, and it would not matter if it disappeared gradually. She could always find a solution.
But if she really wanted to have a baby, she didn't know what to do.
You can't keep carrying the child without giving birth.
The more she thought about it, the more headache she felt, and she couldn't think of a good solution, so no matter how urgent the matter was, she could only sort out the memory of the original owner first, and then make other plans.
The memory of the original owner is actually very dull.
She lost her mother when she was very young. She was raised by a nanny. She also learned how to handle the back house from the nanny. Even when she gave Zuo Dingmin medicine, the nanny helped her.
It's just that the wet nurse was getting older. After the original owner took complete control of the General's Mansion and became a qualified mistress of the General's Mansion, the wet nurse was honored and adopted - and followed her son back to his ancestral home with the generous money given to her by the original owner.
In the memory of the original owner, the wet nurse was a very capable person. She was able to do things with ease and always came up with many useful things.
The powder given to Zuo Dingmin was given to her by the wet nurse. In addition, the wet nurse also left many bottles and jars for her.
Thinking of this, Mo Zhenzhen marked an important point on the small box of bottles and cans. The items were still in the General's Mansion. She would ask someone to fetch them later.
Except for the nanny, who is a completely (powerful) person, the memory of the original owner has become a monotonous line.
Before getting married, I had been living in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The farthest I traveled was just wandering around in the garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was simply a dream to go outside and see.
After getting married, he felt a lot more free. There was a time when the original owner liked to go out for a walk. At that time, Zuo Dingmin hadn't gotten up yet. He was just a little military attache, and the courtyard he lived in was still the original owner's dowry.
The original owner was really free at that time, but these days of freedom soon disappeared because the original owner accidentally bumped into Mo Xiang who was having tea with his colleagues while shopping, and Mo Xiang personally sent her back to that little place. In the yard, standing at the second door, Mo Xiang looked at her kneeling on the ground expressionlessly, listening to her read the entire book of female precepts before leaving.
From then on, the original owner basically didn't go out. She was obviously married, and her husband was away from home all year round. She had the final say in the entire mansion, but she seemed to have returned to the life of a caged bird.
Later, Zuo Dingmin rose step by step, and her status also increased. She even had a royal title. The queens and princesses in the palace would invite her to any banquets held. Gradually, she got to know other ladies and formed her own circle. Once again, he walked out of the mansion with one door after another.
