Chapter 239: Too Much Work

The men were happy, but the women in the backyard could not hold on any longer.

First, Mrs. Gu was old, second, Du Jingyi was pregnant, and third, as the protagonist of the day, Xue Niang's face was almost stiff from laughing.

Therefore, Mrs. Guo and others also saw it, and did not stay for long after dinner. They only said goodbye tomorrow and left.

Seeing Mrs. Guo leave, the others had no excuses to stay, so they had to leave as well.

It took half an hour to send everyone off, and Du Jingyi was really exhausted.

In Xitang Courtyard.

Mrs. Du looked at her daughter distressedly, and Du Jingxiang beside her also sighed.

Today, they also came early in the morning, and saw that the people around Du Jingyi were replaced one after another, and each of them was of noble status. They were afraid of causing trouble to Du Jingyi, so they did not think of getting close to him.

Finally, when everyone was almost gone in the evening, he followed her back to rest.

Yingtao lifted her dress and saw that her calves and soles were a little swollen, which was left by standing for a long time, so she immediately started to massage her.

After a few times, Du Jingyi's discomfort was relieved a lot.

Du Jingxiang, who was standing by, patted his chest and said hurriedly, as if he couldn't bear the burden.

"I know that you are the hostess of the general's mansion, and you are glorious every day, but this banquet is too tiring. Not to mention that you have to take care of everyone, you have to think three times in your mind just to talk to people. It's really tiring. Fortunately, you are a thoughtful person. If it were my sister, I'm afraid everyone would be confused."

She made Du Jingyi laugh.

"Yes, so it is most suitable to take care of you like your brother-in-law every day and not let you worry."

Du Jingxiang lowered her head shyly, but she still agreed with her sister's words.

Mrs. Du also touched her little daughter's hair and said comfortingly.

"Otherwise, why do you say that it is difficult to be a superior? If you marry a commoner, there are only three or two tables of guests at home, and the guests are all relatives and friends, so you are not afraid of saying or doing something wrong. But if you marry a rich man, you have to be alert all the time, worrying about this and that, which really makes you suffer."

How could Du Jingyi not understand what Mrs. Du meant.

The rich family is complicated, and there has always been one in-law after another, so you can't be careless.

Mother and sister are also worried about her situation, so they said this. Thinking of this, Du Jingyi smiled and comforted her back.

"Actually, this feast is not that difficult. It's all in accordance with the rules. My grandmother and my eldest sister-in-law are helping my daughter, so it doesn't take much effort. It's just that I stood for a long time today, and my legs are a little sore. My daughter will be fine after two days of rest."

"Well, that's good."

The mother and daughter sat for a while, took a few sips of tea, and someone came outside.

Dou Mama was a little tired, but she walked in with a smile on her face and said.

"Madam, the master of the family asked me to pass on the message, saying that the wife of the family and the eldest sister of the family can go over, and it's time to go home."

At this point, Du Jingyi tilted his head to look outside, and sure enough, the moonlight began to spread.

After shaking the hands of his mother and elder sister, he said soothingly.

"Since Daddy has sent someone to call you, I won't keep you any longer. After I rest for two days and feel better, I will go home to play with Brother Yun."

Speaking of his own son, Du Jingxiang hasn't seen him for half a day.

At this moment, she was a little impatient and wished to go back home immediately.

"Okay, after he is over a hundred days old, I will bring him to your house to play with you."

Du Jingyi nodded with a smile. Madam Du told Du Jingyi to take care of himself before she left with Madam Dou.

After they left, Du Jingyi's calf pain was almost relieved.

Lizhu walked in from outside, still as cheerful as ever.

"Madam, the water is ready, but are you going to take a bath and change clothes now?"

"Well, let's go, taking a bath can also relieve fatigue."

After saying this, Yingtao and Lizhu came forward to help. The floor of the entire wing bathroom was covered with non-slip mats, just in case Du Jingyi fell.

After all, she is now six months pregnant. If she accidentally falls, it will be dangerous. Therefore, especially when serving in the wing bath, Yingtao and Lizhu are very careful.

Du Jingyi was comfortably immersed in the water, which also had some fragrant dew that helped her sleep, and she was very moved.

However, before she could say anything, the baby in her belly probably felt the mother's relaxation, and couldn't help but be naughty, moving in Du Jingyi's belly, as if turning over.

"Ouch."

She covered her belly and cried softly.

Yingtao and Lizhu looked over anxiously and asked hurriedly.

"Madam, are you uncomfortable? How about I ask the palace doctor to come and see?"

Du Jingyi took a breath and waved her hand.

"Nothing, he just kicked me, and I guess he was telling me that he had worked hard today."

Du Jingyi stroked her bulging belly. If you look at it sideways now, you can see that it looks like a small hill.

Her pregnancy is not very obvious, so if she wears loose clothes and covers her arms a little, people who don't know may not know that she is already six months pregnant.

However, I heard from my grandmother that it will only grow wildly after July. I guess her belly will change every day.

When she thought that she was pregnant with a child with her own blood, Du Jingyi was happier than taking any magic medicine.

So she gently stroked her belly and said in a gentle tone.

"Grow up quickly, mother can't wait to see you, to see whether you are a handsome boy or a beautiful girl."

Hearing this, Cherry beside her also laughed.

Suddenly she remembered what Xue Niang said, so she spoke.

"Didn't Miss Eight say that there are more sons in the blood of the Gu family? I guess it's probably a son."

Hearing this, Li Zhu rarely stood on the same line with her, shaking her finger and said.

"Not necessarily, our Du family has more daughters."

After being reminded by her, Du Jingyi really remembered that the Du family did have many more daughters.

She has many cousins, but she only has one cousin, Du Jingxian, so the fourth branch is fearless.

After this thought flashed through his mind, he smiled.

"Then let's see whether the bloodline suppression of the Gu family is stronger or the bloodline suppression of the Du family is stronger."
