Chapter 133: Visit From an Old Friend

Shang Ji was really shocked by the news.

Although he knew that he would become a father sooner or later, he had thought about how to arrange it.

But when he really waited for this moment, he had no thoughts or plans in his mind.

He was very confused.

Seeing him like this, Du Jingyi couldn't help but laugh secretly.

She had thought about this scene and her husband's reaction, but she didn't expect that he would be stunned like a piece of wood.

Shang Ji didn't turn around until she poked his arm gently with her fingers.

After taking a few deep breaths to calm down, he showed his excitement.

"I'm going to be a father!"

At this moment, Du Jingyi saw the excitement and joy mixed in his eyes for the first time.

He likes this child very much.

"Yes, the Queen mentioned this to me a few days ago, and now I really live up to her expectations."

Shang Ji frowned a little, but soon understood.

"So the expression you saw on my sister's face last time... turns out it was because the Queen said so."

"Yeah."

He stretched out his hand nervously to touch Du Jingyi's still flat belly, but his tone was full of inquiry.

"Can I touch it?"

"Of course, but it's still young now. Madam Dou said it would take about four or five months to feel the baby's movements."

After that, he put his hand on his belly.

It was warm, no different from usual.

But Shang Ji's eyes turned into soft water at this moment, and he said to Du Jingyi.

"You rest assured to take care of the baby, I will definitely protect you."

Du Jingyi agreed with this statement very much. After all, with his current status, the number of people who want to embarrass him can really be counted on one's fingers.

"Don't think about Madam Wei and the third room. I'll take care of it. It's just a quick fix. Since you're pregnant, just take good care of her."

"Don't worry, General. The net has been cast. We're just waiting for the fish to jump in. I'm just using my brain. It won't be a problem."

Seeing that Shang Ji had no intention of giving in, Du Jingyi rarely acted like a spoiled child.

"General..."

Shang Ji looked at her, but in the end he couldn't beat her, so he had to compromise, but he still said with some caution in his eyes.

"Tomorrow I'll dispatch another team of secret guards to protect you, so you can feel more at ease even if I'm not around in the future."

"Okay, everything will be arranged by the general."

Since knowing that Du Jingyi was pregnant, Shang Ji has been nervous unconsciously.

It's not that he's worried about her safety, but he has never witnessed the process of a child from nothing to birth, so he's a little nervous.

Originally, he could only stay for one day this time.

But everyone in the East Garden was "sick", so he simply rested at home and took care of everyone.

Fortunately, all his men were elite soldiers and there was no war, so it was okay, nothing serious.

The memorial for leave was delivered to the palace, and the news spread quickly.

A few days ago, when the Duke celebrated his birthday, the Prince of Fu stepped on the Duke's grandson and broke him, and now everyone in the East Garden is sick again.

Not long after, all kinds of rumors began to appear among the people.

Some said that the Duke's Mansion was unlucky this year, and some said that Shang Ji's killing was too heavy, causing unrest in the family.

Everyone has their own opinions.

Shang Ji, who was resting at home, ignored it and accompanied Du Jingyi carefully.

If she wants to eat sour food today, there will be vinegar dishes on the table.

Tomorrow she wants to eat sweet food, so she will even add some honey to the water she drinks.

In short, she has everything she wants and lives comfortably.

One day, Du Jingyi stood in front of a bronze mirror and looked at herself.

Although she was only three months old, her body seemed to be a little different from before. She touched her cheek with a little complaint and said.

"I thought I would always be a slim beauty, but I gained weight. I guess I will be twice as fat as me in the future."

Shang Ji heard it from behind, so he looked at her carefully and gave a positive answer.

"Don't worry, Madam. I have checked it and it is not fat."

Du Jingyi did not believe a word of what her husband said.

So she waved to Yingtao and pointed at the waist.

"I remember when I wore this skirt last year, it was still two fingers wide, but now it is gone."

She was like a slightly irritable pregnant woman at the moment, worrying about her slightly changed figure.

Yingtao smiled and answered when she saw this.

"Don't worry, Madam. Even if you are fat, you can lose weight. Just look at our Madam. She has given birth to two children, but she is still slim, isn't she?"

Du Jingyi felt much better when the maid mentioned her mother. This was much more sincere than Shang Ji's answer just now, and it could directly and effectively eliminate Du Jingyi's worries.

Shang Ji raised his eyebrows behind her back when he saw her smile more.

It seems that he needs to practice harder to coax his wife.

While the couple was talking, they heard Luo Yuan coming in from outside, and then said.

"General, Madam, Madam Xing is here."

"Aunt? Come in."

"Yes."

As soon as the voice fell, Madam Xing came in on her own, looking at Du Jingyi with some anxiety in her eyes.

"Didn't you say you were sick? Why are you standing up? I've been talking to the Queen in the palace these days. Today I found out that everyone in the East Garden was sick, so I came to see you. How are you? Are you all right?"

Madam Xing spoke quickly and straightforwardly.

There was a lot of chatter, and this series of questions made Shang Ji and his wife a little overwhelmed.

Yingtao was still considerate, and hurriedly served a cup of tea, saying with a smile.

"Madam Xing, have a cup of hot tea first, it will also be good for warming your hands."

She came all the way by carriage, and walked all the way after getting off the carriage, so she didn't feel cold.

But she was afraid that the cold would freeze Du Jingyi, so she took the teacup and walked over to Yinsi Tan to warm herself up.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi smiled and replied.

"I'm sorry to have worried you, auntie. I'm fine. But there are rumors flying around outside?"

"Whether it's a rumor or not, I don't know, but what's going on?"

Mrs. Xing is not blind, so she can see that Du Jingyi looks fine.

If such a person is sick, then about 80% to 90% of the people in the world are sick.

There's nothing serious at this critical moment, so why pretend to be sick, so she asked this question.

As a result, Shang Ji carefully hugged Du Jingyi and sat at the eight-immortal table, as if he was protecting a treasure.

Mrs. Xing understood it all at once.

She was stunned at first, and then asked in surprise.

"Are you pregnant?"
