MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 239 How tiring

Their men are happy with them, but the women in the back house are a little unable to hold on.

 Firstly, Mrs. Gu is older, secondly, Du Jingyi is getting older due to her pregnancy, and thirdly, as today’s protagonist, Xue Niang’s face almost froze with laughter.

Therefore, Mrs. Guo and others also noticed it, and did not stay much after dinner. They only left a word of "see you tomorrow" and left.

Seeing Mrs. Guo leaving, the others had no excuses even if they wanted to stay, so they had no choice but to leave.

It took half an hour to finish sending everyone off, and Du Jingyi was really tired for this.

 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. Seeing that the people around Du Jingyi were changing one after another, each of them had a very noble status. They were afraid of causing trouble to Du Jingyi, so they did not think of going to the side to join them.

With great difficulty, I waited until it was almost gone in the evening, and then I followed her back to have a rest.

Cherry opened her dress and saw that her calves and soles were a little swollen. It looked like they were the result of standing for a long time, so she immediately started massaging her.

 After a few moments, it relieved a lot of Du Jingyi's discomfort.

Seeing this, Du Jingxiang on the side also patted his chest, looking like he couldn't bear the heavy burden, and said hurriedly.

"What I know is that you are the hostess of the General's Mansion, and you have a lot of glory every day, but this banquet is too demanding. Not to mention that you have to take care of everyone, even when you talk to people, you have to keep it in your head. It’s really tiring to think about it three times. Fortunately, you are a thoughtful person. If it were me, I’m afraid everyone would be confused.”

Her behavior made Du Jingyi laugh.

“Yes, so it is most appropriate for someone like my brother-in-law to take good care of you 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.

"How else can I say that it is difficult to be a master? If you are married to an ordinary person, the banquet at home will only be three or two tables, and all the relatives and friends will come, and you will not be afraid of saying or doing something wrong. But for a high-ranking marriage, you will always have to do something wrong. Be careful, worrying about this and that is really making you suffer."

Du Jingyi didn't understand what Mrs. Du meant.

 Gaomen Courtyard is intricately connected. One in-law is always connected to another in-law, so there is no room for carelessness.

 Her mother and sister were also worried about her situation, so they said this. Thinking of this, Du Jingyi smiled and comforted her.

"Actually, it's not that difficult to prepare this banquet. It's all done according to the rules, and my grandmother and 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."

"Ah That's good."

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

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

“Young madam, my in-laws asked their slaves to deliver the message, saying that they wanted my madam and my eldest sister to come over, and it’s time to go home.”

At this point, Du Jingyi turned his head and looked outside, and sure enough, the moonlight began to shine.

 He shook the hands of his mother and sister and said comfortingly.

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

 When it comes to his son, Du Jingxiang hasn't seen him for a while.

At this moment, I am a little impatient, and I wish I could go back home immediately.

"Okay, when he has passed a hundred days, I will bring him to your house to play with you." Du Jingyi smiled and nodded. Mrs. Du told Du Jingyi to take care of herself a few more words before leaving with Aunt Dou.

By the time they all left, Du Jingyi's calves had almost recovered.

Li Zhu came in from outside, as cheerful as ever.

“Young lady, the water has been put away, but now you have to take a shower and change clothes?”

 “Well, let’s go, a bubble bath can also relieve our fatigue.”

After saying this, Yingtao and Lizhu both came forward to help him. The entire floor of the bathroom in the ear room was covered with non-slip mats to prevent Du Jingyi from falling.

  After all, she is now six months pregnant, and it would be dangerous if she accidentally falls, so especially when bathing and serving in the ear room, Yingying and Lizhu are very careful.

Du Jingyi, on the other hand, immersed her body comfortably in the water. There was some fragrant dew to help her sleep, which made her sigh with emotion.

However, before she said anything, the child in her belly probably felt her mother's relaxation and couldn't help but be naughty. The child moved in Du Jingyi's belly, as if it was turning over.

 “Ouch.”

 She held her stomach and screamed softly.

 Cherry and Lizhu looked over anxiously and asked quickly.

“Young madam, what’s wrong with you? How about I ask the doctor to come over and take a look?”

Du Jingyi took a breath and waved his hand.

“It’s nothing, he just kicked me and probably told me that I had a hard day today.”

Du Jingyi stroked his bulging belly. If he looked sideways now, he could see that it looked like a small hill.

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

However, according to my grandmother and the others, the price will skyrocket after July, and I guess her belly will change day by day.

The thought of pregnant with a child who is connected to his own blood, Du Jingyi is more happy than taking any elixir.

 So he gently stroked his belly and spoke in a gentle tone.

“Grow up quickly, mother can’t wait to see you and see if you are a handsome little brother or a beautiful sister.”

Hearing this, Cherry next to him also laughed.

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

“Didn’t Miss Eight say that there are many good men in the Gu family’s bloodline? I think he is probably a brother.”

After hearing this, Li Zhu, who was rare, did not stand on the same line as her, and said while wagging her finger.

“Not necessarily, we have a lot of girls in the Du family.”

 After being reminded like this, Du Jingyi really remembered that the Du family indeed had many more daughters.

She has several cousins ​​and cousins, but the only cousin is Du Jingxian, so the four brothers have nothing to fear.

After this thought flashed through my mind, I smiled.

“Then let’s see which one is more suppressed by the Gu family’s bloodline or the Du family’s bloodline.”
