Duke Jing's younger sister

Chapter 266 Palm

After getting married, every day is leisurely and comfortable.

The doctor in the Jiang residence would come to take the child's pulse every two days. From his slight nod, Jiang Li guessed that the child was in good condition.

As expected, the Jiang Mansion doctor put away the pulse pillow and said, "Young Madam can get out of bed and walk around slowly. You need to continue taking the pregnancy-preserving medicine and avoid emotional ups and downs."

"Thank you, Doctor Jiang." Jiang Li nodded with a smile, "I wonder how the second sister's pregnancy is now?"

Doctor Jiang packed up his medicine box and bowed, "Second Miss is fine, Madam, don't worry."

Xingping personally escorted Doctor Jiang out.

Jiang Li had been lying in bed for many days to take care of her pregnancy. Now that Doctor Jiang had finally told her she could get out of bed, she couldn't wait to sit up.

"Girl, where are you going?"

Luo Zhi came in with a tray. Next to the steaming pregnancy-maintaining medicine, there was a small porcelain dish of ginger-scented plums.

Those were newly released preserved fruits from Pinxiangzhai. Shen Beiqi bought them specially and asked her to eat two of them after taking the pregnancy-stabilizing medicine. He also told her repeatedly that she could eat anything else she didn't like, but she must take the pregnancy-stabilizing medicine.

In fact, she would have drunk it even without his instruction, after all, she was looking forward to the baby in her belly.

The feeling of having someone in your belly, connected to your life, always makes her heart soft.

Sometimes she would think that this inexplicable tenderness was probably a woman's natural maternal instinct.

Luo Zhi put the things on the table, took the outer robe from the hanger, and helped Jiang Li put it on.

"Doctor Jiang said I could go out for a walk. I want to go to Yanyu Pavilion."

These days, she has been unable to move around easily, and Shen Zhiyan has not come to look for her, which makes her a little worried.

"Then go and drink the medicine, girl. It will be just the right temperature after a while." Luo Zhi said.

Jiang Li sat down, took a deep breath, pinched her nose and drank the bitter and nauseating medicine in one breath.

Luo Zhi was holding the plums in her hand, and Jiang Li quickly picked two and put them in her mouth to suppress the nausea a little.

"Hey, when will this day end..." Jiang Li chewed a plum, "Let's go."

Arriving at Yanyu Pavilion, Jiang Li went straight in. Shen Zhiyan was sitting beside the couch, sewing a small piece of clothing in her hands in the sunlight coming in through the window.

"Second sister." Jiang Li bowed with a smile.

When Shen Zhiyan saw that it was her, she immediately stood up, took Jiang Li's hand and said with a smile, "How many times have I told you, don't call me second sister, from now on I should call you sister-in-law."

"How about this, from now on I'll call you Zhiyan and you call me A'li?"

"Okay." Shen Zhiyan smiled, "Are you feeling better now? Do you not need to rest and take care of your pregnancy anymore?"

"Well, Dr. Jiang said that you can get out of bed and walk around."

The two of them sat down beside the couch. Baozhu served them tea. Seeing that her girl finally had a smile on her face, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and slowly stepped back.

"Are you making clothes for your nephew?"

Jiang Li picked up a half-sewn dress with red cloud patterns in the sewing basket and said, "Second... Zhiyan is really good at it. But it looks a little big. I'm afraid the baby won't be able to wear it since he's just been born."

Shen Zhiyan took the dress and gently stroked the embroidered pattern on it. "It is indeed a bit big. I made it casually. I don't know if he can wear it."

There was something wrong with what he said.

Jiang Li frowned, wondering if Shen Zhiyan had any bad intentions.

"Second sister, don't let your imagination run wild. As long as my brother is here, we will have food to eat, and you and your children will have food to eat. Don't worry about it every day and think about those messy things."

Shen Zhiyan's eyes felt a little hot.

Once upon a time, she had comforted Jiang Li in this way.

The Shen family is wealthy and powerful, so they will definitely not lack food for you. You can live in the Shen family with peace of mind. Besides your brother, you also have me, your second sister, to protect you!

Unexpectedly, times have changed and now she has become the one living under someone else's roof.

Although she never left the house, she could occasionally hear the maids and old women whispering to each other.

Less than a month after her marriage, her husband died, and the fetus in her belly did not match the time of her marriage.

Some people say that she had a tough life and that she killed her father and her husband.

Some people also said that she was not self-disciplined and that it was shameless for her to get pregnant before marriage.

She didn't want to live anymore, and she didn't have the courage to live.

But she was pregnant.

"Look at you, you forgot again." Shen Zhiyan wiped away the tears in her eyes and forced a smile, "You said you would not call me second sister anymore."

"That's not the point. The point is that you have to remember what I said." Jiang Li said, "Although you and I are not related by blood, I have always treated you as my own sister. I love you very much, and so do my mother and brother."

Jiang Li sat closer, took Shen Zhiyan, whose eyes were red, into his arms, and said softly, "I'm sorry for this period of time. First I went to Luozhu, and after I came back I was busy with a lot of things, so I couldn't spend time with you and talk."

"Second sister, if you want to cry, just cry. After crying, wipe your tears. Life must go on. But remember, life will not always go smoothly, but it will not always go wrong either."

"You lost Xiao Wenyuan, but you still have me, mother and brother. We have always loved you and that has never changed."

Shen Zhiyan finally burst into tears.

Baozhu and Xingping were standing outside the yard, their eyes moistened as they listened to the sobbing sounds coming from the house.

Xingping was the first to notice Shen Beiqi. She was about to bow and salute when the young man raised his hand to interrupt her.

There were intermittent sobbing sounds in the room, faintly mixed with the voice of Jiang Li talking.

He lowered his eyes, was silent for a moment, then lifted his robe and sat down at the stone table in the yard.

He also knew that Shen Zhiyan had been unhappy and had tried to enlighten her.

But she blocked them all with a smile.

It would be better to let her cry her heart out. After crying, she will feel better.

When Jiang Li came out, Shen Beiqi had already drunk two cups of tea.

The winter sun is already weak and short-lived, and now it’s not even dinner time, but the sky is already gloomy.

"Why don't you go in?" Jiang Li walked forward and let him hold her hand.

"When I came back and found no one in the room, I thought you had run away."

The two stood up and walked out of the yard hand in hand. Jiang Li laughed, "I'm pregnant, where can I run to?"

"In the storybooks you read these past two days, didn't the female character run away because she was pregnant, and the male character went crazy?"

Shen Beiqi looked at her sideways with a smile in his eyes, "I thought you wanted to imitate me."

Jiang Li was startled, "You peeked at my storybook?"

Shen Beiqi smiled faintly, "I am watching openly."

"Openly and aboveboard?" Jiang Li said angrily, "Then why haven't I seen it before?"

"Because you fell asleep..."

"If I imitate you, will you go crazy?"

"No." The young man's eyebrows were as beautiful as a painting, and he answered very straightforwardly, "Because you can't escape from my palm at all."
