Chapter 963
"I was fine for the first few months of this pregnancy. I ate well and slept well, but I had a reaction this month. My mother-in-law was worried that I was showing off, so she asked me to avoid my father-in-law."
Normally, it would be easy to avoid the father-in-law, but now that the old lady has passed away, they all have to kneel in front of the old lady's mourning hall and keep vigil all night. As the eldest son, the father-in-law has to stay in the mourning hall all night.
As time goes by, I'm afraid this matter won't be hidden.
"Confused." Xia Zihan couldn't help scolding, "You are so secretive, it will make Mr. Liao doubt the day of your conception. Tell Mr. Liao openly and ask a doctor to confirm the diagnosis. I believe Mr. Liao He is not someone who kills his own grandson just because he has doubts in his heart. ”
Zeng Jing woke up instantly as if someone had given her a slap in the face.
With tears in her eyes, she said anxiously, "What should I do?"
Now that the Liao family is having a funeral, how can she ask a doctor to diagnose her pulse?
However, if the doctor is not invited, the funeral will take another seven or forty-nine days. After these forty-nine days, she will be pregnant for more than five months. By then, even if the doctor is not invited, everyone will Everyone knew she was pregnant.
Zeng Jing was in a dilemma and regretted not confessing this matter to Mr. Liao a few days earlier.
It's okay now. This matter is stuck here and it's difficult to do anything.
Xia Zihan said, "While I'm here, invite Mr. Liao and Mrs. Liao over. Maybe I can help you keep the child." Seeing Zeng Jing look over in surprise, she smiled and said, "Why, you forgot Well, I am Doctor Bai’s apprentice. Diagnosing the pulse of a pregnant woman is overkill.”
Zeng Jing laughed through her tears and said with choked sobs, "Cousin, I knew you were my lucky star."
Back then, if her cousin hadn't extended a helping hand, given her money, and entrusted someone to take care of the young couple, she and Liao Jingtang might not have been able to settle down in the northwest.
Later, when she was in trouble several times, her cousin sent people to give her money again and again to help her overcome difficulties again and again.
It can be said that without the help of her cousin, she and Liao Jingtang would not be where they are today.
Zeng Jing was very respectful and grateful to Xia Zihan.
Zeng Jing hurriedly ordered the maid to call Mrs. Liao and his wife, and then sent her mother-in-law to call Liao Jingtang back. When everyone arrived, Zeng Jing blushed and saluted Mr. Liao and apologized, saying what she had done for more than a month. A feeling of uneasiness.
"Dad, my wife and husband didn't mean to hide it from you, but the days are too tight, and I was worried that dad would think too much about it, so..." Her little face turned red, and she didn't know what to say.
Xia Zihan stood up and smoothed things over by saying, "Mr. Liao Ge, don't blame my cousin. My cousin is good at everything, but she attaches too much importance to love and righteousness. She regards her relatives as more important than life. Although the child in her belly is Not yet born, But after all, she is her own flesh and blood, and it is human nature for her to be afraid. However, I believe that Mr. Liao Ge must understand the character of my cousin and cousin-in-law, and they are not the kind of people who would violate the laws of the court. "< br>
After Xia Zihan finished speaking, he saw that the expression of Mr. Liao, who was originally gloomy and blue-black, looked better.
He said to Zeng Jing, "In the past few days, you should go to the mourning hall less often. After these few days, I will send someone to ask the doctor to come over."
After saying this, Mr. Liao glared at Mrs. Liao fiercely, blaming her for hiding the pregnancy from his daughter-in-law.
You must know that within three months of the national mourning period, all ministers of the third rank and above and the female family members of officials must observe the mourning. Pregnancy is not allowed. Otherwise, if others find out, they will be impeached by the censor, lose their official positions, or run away in the worst case. Not a word of death.
One child can destroy such a large family in the blink of an eye.
No wonder Mr. Liao is so angry. Mrs. Liao didn't think she was wrong.
The child in the daughter-in-law's belly is her biological grandson. She will keep it a secret because she is worried that the master will act impulsively and do something wrong if he finds out.
Besides, her daughter-in-law and son assured her that the child was not born during the national mourning period.
It's just that the day of Zeng Jing's pregnancy was such a coincidence, just one day before the Queen's death, that's why Zeng Jing, his wife and Mrs. Liao were so worried about Mr. Liao's reaction.
Xia Zihan said, "Mr. Liao Ge, if you can trust me, I would not mind diagnosing my cousin's pulse."
"Look at me, I have forgotten this." Mrs. Liao slapped her forehead and waved to Xia Zihan, "Chu Yu, just in time, please take Jing'er's pulse quickly. This child is more than three months old. For fear of the news leaking, I didn’t dare to ask a doctor to check on Jing’er, and I didn’t know how she was doing.”
"My cousin is not the first born, she is the mother of several children, so Mrs. Liao can rest assured." Xia Zihan smiled and walked up to Zeng Jing, who hurriedly took out her right wrist.
Mrs. Liao was not at all relieved, "In order to take care of the old lady these days, everyone in the family has not slept well. Jing'er slept the least. I am worried that if she does not get enough rest, she will hurt the child."
After a while, Xia Zihan took back his hand and said, "The child is fine, but the adults are a bit malnourished and have weak Qi and blood. They need to rest and recuperate."
"What the princess said is that from now on, she will not be allowed to do anything, and she will be allowed to concentrate on keeping the baby in the house."
Mrs. Liao said.
Over the years, she had not been able to be near the birth of several grandchildren. She finally met this grandson. This time, she would never miss the scene of her daughter-in-law giving birth to a grandson.
"How many months has it been since the child had the rash?"
Mr. Liao Ge suddenly poured a basin of cold water down from his pocket, giving Madam Liao a chill.
Before Xia Zihan could answer, Mrs. Liao gave Mr. Liao an unhappy look, "You don't know what your own son's temper is like. He is someone who will do illegal things for a little selfish desire during the national mourning period." Someone who commits acts of indiscipline? ”
Not really.
As for his second son, Mr. Liao still understands him very well. He is not the kind of person who is addicted to women.
Otherwise, he would not have only been guarding Zeng Jing for so many years without even having a concubine by his side.
Xia Zihan also said, "Don't worry, this child can stay. If Mr. Liao Ge doesn't trust me, he can still ask the imperial doctor to diagnose my cousin's pulse."
"I can trust the princess as a person." Mr. Liao hurriedly said, "With the princess's words, I feel relieved."
Mr. Liao is not a ruthless person who does not know what is right and wrong. Of course, he is reluctant to kill his direct grandson.
It was just a coincidence that Zeng Jing was pregnant. He was worried that the imperial censor would make a fuss about it one day. However, now that Chu Yu had come forward as a guarantee, he was eager to do so.
This matter was revealed in this way.
