Chapter 928: The Power of the Family

"No need to worry about this at this time."

Looking at the pale little face of the daughter-in-law, one would say that she is full of poetry and calligraphy. She, the little daughter-in-law, has been running the house for several years, and like Xiao Wu, she has become more and more calm.

Bai Yunxi sat next to her and wiped the sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief. "Go and cover her with a cashmere blanket. Then boil some hot water. Wait for Shan'er to wake up and wipe her."

A quarter of an hour later, the doctor was hurriedly ushered in by Qingsong. Before the doctor could salute, he was interrupted by Baiyun Xi.

"Doctor Cao, there's no need to be polite. Let's take a look at my daughter-in-law first. Why did she suddenly faint?"

Doctor Cao nodded, took out the pulse diagnosis machine, and checked the pulse carefully. After a moment, he expressed congratulations to Baiyunxi with a happy face.

"The fifth lady is expecting a baby. She is already two months pregnant."

Baiyun Xi: "...are you happy?"

"Don't worry about Yiren. The fifth lady's fainting was caused by recent exertion. As long as she is healthy, she will be fine."

Doctor Cao looked at Bai Yunxi's surprised look and explained gently,

"I'll give you another pair of anti-fetal medicine, just take it. Your wife has good bones and a strong pulse."

As he spoke, Doctor Cao took out a silver needle from his bag and gently pricked the acupuncture point. Zhang Yishan's eyelids moved and she woke up leisurely.

Looking at a circle of people surrounding him, looking at Baiyun Xi with a confused expression,

"Mom, what's wrong with me?"

"You're okay. You're fine. You have a baby in your belly. You need to rest and don't think too much."

Bai Yunxi looked at her in disbelief as she touched her belly, dumbfounded, and turned to look at Dr. Cao.

"Then Dr. Lao, Ginkgo, send Dr. Cao back, and grab the anti-fetal medicine by the way."

My master hasn't had a bath for two months, and the people who are waiting on him don't know?

He actually fainted due to exertion. Fortunately, the child had good health. If it had been anyone else, it would have been fine.

When she came into contact with the majestic gaze of the old lady, Ginkgo shrank inwardly. She was surprised and frightened at the same time. Her master is happy. The child that her master has been waiting for for several years has finally arrived.

Cao Guo was quite clever. He went to the inner room and handed a red envelope to Doctor Cao, "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Cao. This is my wife's thanks for you."

"Thank you madam, it's just your duty as a doctor," he said. Doctor Cao was not polite, took the red envelope and followed Ginkgo out. They walked among nobles, and they were often rewarded, so they were used to it.

After watching the doctor leave, Bai Yunxi sat down next to her and gave her a scolding look.

"I see that you are usually very careful, but why are you so irritable when it happens to you? The doctor just told me that you are two months pregnant, why don't you know at all?"

Listening to her mother-in-law's words, Zhang Yishan came back to her senses and was so excited that she didn't know what to say to express her joy.

"Mom, I was negligent... There has been no movement in the past few years. I also went to the doctor for treatment, but there was no news, so I just let it go."

Zhang Yishan's eyes were slightly red. God knows how worried she was before. Later, her mother-in-law comforted her and said that it is good for a woman's health to have children later, so she didn't need to worry.

Originally she was worried that there was something wrong with her health, but with her mother-in-law's words, she felt at ease.

In the past few years of their marriage, she and the official had a harmonious relationship. It was not unacceptable to have no children for a while.

From then on, she no longer struggled and just wanted to let everything happen.

"I didn't expect that the child would actually come."

Listening to Zhang Yishan's excitement, Bai Yunxi shook his head helplessly, "How can young people never have children? It's just a matter of coming early and coming late. You just heard the doctor say, you need to get more rest and don't be tired anymore."

"Hey, I know Mom, she's just getting angry today." After calming down, Zhang Yishan blushed and felt a little embarrassed.

When Ginkgo came back with the medicine pack, Zhang’s mother also bought some.

Baiyunxi looked at the people in Haitang Garden with a slightly restrained expression.

"You who are serving the master so closely don't know if the master has changed his clothes. Fortunately, he fainted at home. If something unexpected happens outside, how will you deal with it?"

"You servants know your mistakes, please punish me, old lady."

Mother Zhang fell to her knees with a plop, she was negligent. As the girl's mother, she is so busy every day that she neglects her body.

"Penalty, you really deserve it, it will also make you remember better."

Bai Yunxi looked at them with a cold face, looked at Zhang Yishan's worried expression, and patted her hand.

"The girls and women who serve closely will be fined one month each as a warning to others."

"Old slave, I accept the punishment." Zhang's mother kowtowed. She was negligent and deserved the punishment.

Zhang Yishan leaned on the Arhat bed and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her mother-in-law's punishment was not severe. When they are done, they will be rewarded with something.

Listening to Zhang Yishan's thoughts, Bai Yunxi curled her lips. She punished and her daughter-in-law rewarded, which was also her way of employing people.

"Okay, go ahead and do what you have to do. From now on, just stay awake and be attentive so that your master doesn't get hurt."

Bai Yunxi waved her hands at them to let them go, then turned to look at her daughter-in-law,

"It is very important to take care of your baby in the first three months, don't be careless."

"Mother is worried, I will be careful." Zhang Yishan stroked her belly. It was hard to imagine that there was a little life in her belly.

"You should take good care of her during these days. Don't worry about your family in advance. Mom will take care of it until your fetal condition is stable." Bai Yunxi looked at her and comforted her softly.

Listening to her mother-in-law's arrangements, Zhang Yishan nodded, "Everything depends on mother-in-law."

It was not easy for her to have a child, so she really had to be careful.

Bai Yunxi stayed with her until Yinxing finished brewing the medicine, and then stood up and left after watching her drink it.

As soon as Bai Yunxi left, Yinxing and the others knelt on the ground, "It was our negligence that caused you to lose your right to manage the household. It was all my fault."

Hearing their self-blaming tone, Zhang Yisan chuckled and shook her head,

"You think too much. Mother loves me and will not take away my right to manage the household. Mother never likes to manage the household. I have seen it a long time ago. She spoke up this time because she was afraid that I would be too tired."

"But..."

Before Zhang Mama finished speaking, Zhang Yisan raised her hand to interrupt,

"People are different. Mother is a wise person. Her vision has never been in the backyard. She will not compete with me for the right to manage the household. Mother is the most senior person in the mansion. If she wanted to manage the household, she would not give it to me at the beginning."

The old lady didn't want to, but what about others?

Although she thought about it, Madam Zhang didn't dare to speak up. In the whole mansion, the one who made the most money was the Fourth Master. Most of the food and daily necessities in the family were earned by the Fourth Master.

The old lady might not like to be the head of the family, but what about other people? If they wanted to please the old lady and take a share of the profits, wouldn't it affect their wives' prestige in the future? (End of this chapter)
