MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 271 Follow the old routine

“So, I’m thinking if any of the maids in the house are willing, I can find a boxing and kicking master to practice with me. Not to mention how strong my martial arts skills are, it would be good to have some boxing and kicking skills.”

 Hearing this, Aunt Dou and Butler He both looked at each other.

I don’t know if it’s just a coincidence, or whether this is the case for all generals. Before Du Jingyi opened his mouth, there was a precedent for this in the Gu family.

All the children and grandchildren of the Gu family are close to people who are good at martial arts. Although they are not powerful enough to stop a hundred, they can still deal with thieves and the like.

It is a pity that in the battle of Jin Ce, many died and some were disabled. The remaining ones either stayed at the Gu family in Jinling City to take care of their old age, or returned to their hometown, and they were no longer what they were before.

Hence, when Du Jingyi suddenly mentioned such a thing, it reminded the two of them of the past.

“Young madam’s move coincides with the past of the Gu family.”

“Oh? Does it mean that the Gu family had a female guard in the past?”

“It’s not such a general title, but when choosing people to surround my brothers and sisters, they all have some skills, so as to protect their safety.”

Hearing this, Du Jingyi felt more and more reliable that this method was reliable, so he hurriedly spoke.

"In that case, I will go and discuss with my grandmother and fourth aunt. As for the candidates, I'll leave it to Aunt Dou and Butler He. Let's choose from the house first. If we can't find the right one, we can ask Granny Ya to take a look. .”

 “The old slave knows.”

The two of them took the book and left respectfully. Du Jingyi thought about it before he got up and went to Xu Laiyuan.

There is a wooden wicker chair in the yard, and there is a patch of green climbing up the edge, so even in the hot summer, sitting here is cool and comfortable.

So when Du Jingyi went to Xu Laiyuan, he saw Mrs. Gu lying on it. She didn't know if she had fallen asleep, but she looked particularly calm and peaceful.

 “Grandma?”

Du Jingyi called out softly, but her appearance surprised Mrs. Gu.

 “Why are you here?”

 Then he straightened up, stood up on the wicker chair, looked at her up and down, and said with concern.

"If you have anything to do, let the people below come over and say it. Why bother to make this trip? Look at my belly, it's heavy."

Du Jingyi has never given birth, so it’s hard to tell what a belly drop is.

 But since April, her energy is indeed not as good as before, and her belly is the same. However, she feels tired when walking on some roads, and her sleep at night is intermittent.

 Sometimes just turning over would make her exhausted.

So when he heard this, Du Jingyi helped Mrs. Gu and walked into the back room.

“It’s not an important matter. My granddaughter-in-law is a little impatient, so she thought of asking her grandma.”

 “What’s the matter?”

"The girl under my command, Li Zhu, has been studying martial arts with my fourth aunt for some time. Today, my mother and sister came over to see me and met her. They said that she is much more energetic than before. I think it is all because of my fourth aunt's care. The benefits of being taught.”

“So my granddaughter-in-law boldly came to ask my grandma, if I want to form a female guard team in the house to add more people to the back house, what does grandma think about it?”

Mrs. Gu was a little curious and asked a question.

 “But what happened before?”

"When I was in the Duke's Mansion, people from the fifth room would come up and touch me if they disagreed. It was the girl Li Zhu who stopped me. My granddaughter-in-law couldn't carry it on her shoulders or lift it with her hands, for fear of what might happen to her in the future. , I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t leave, so I had this idea.”

 Hearing what happened in the Duke's Mansion again, Mrs. Gu became very angry.

"Your father-in-law is really a showman. He doesn't care about anything. People from the fifth house dare to touch you. He is so impatient!"

 Fifth house, but a relative of the merchant. On the territory of the Duke's mansion, he dared to take action against his direct descendants. It is conceivable that there was chaos in the governor's mansion.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Gu also patted the back of her hand and said.

"Your fourth aunt and I will take care of this matter. The Gu family had this rule in the past, and she has been idle these days in the capital. It is a good thing to have a few maids for you to take advantage of."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi was really relieved.

“In this case, the grandson-in-law will thank her grandmother and fourth aunt in advance.”

 “As a family, don’t talk about these things.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Du Jingyi felt the baby in her belly kicking her, causing some discomfort.

Mrs. Gu looked at her frown and asked immediately.

 “But it’s inappropriate?”

But it was only for a moment, and Du Jingyi didn't pay much attention, so he shook his head and said.

 “It’s okay, it’s just that the child was scratched.”

"Be careful. It could happen at any time as the day approaches. It's better to ask the midwives to prepare."

“Yes, grandson-in-law knows.”

After Du Jingyi and his servants left, Mrs. Gu said to Nanny Qin next to her.

“Go and tell the doctor to be more alert, and also ask the servants at the second door to be alert. If you hear any movement in Xitang Courtyard, go and ask Doctor Wang to correct you immediately.”

 “Yes, old lady.”

Mrs. Gu somehow felt that she might really be giving birth this time, so she gave these instructions in advance.

 She has given birth to several children, so she has experience.

But Du Jingyi didn't know it at all, thinking that the pain was just an occasional thing like before, so he didn't pay attention.

Unexpectedly, when the moon was above her eyebrows, she heard the sound of her water breaking, which suddenly woke her and Yingtao up from their sleep.

 “Young Madam!”

Cherry was so shocked that she rushed over from outside without even putting on her shoes. She supported Du Jingyi and asked anxiously.

 “Are you okay?”

 “Quickly, go find the midwife, I might be giving birth.”

Hearing this, Cherry suppressed her worry and immediately shouted outside.

 “Come, come quickly, the young lady is about to give birth, and the midwife is here!”

The first one to hear the movement was naturally Li Zhu. After practicing martial arts, she fell asleep and became more alert. As soon as she heard the call from this room, she got up and rushed in.

 Lighting the lamp, pulling the curtains, and lifting the quilt, I saw Du Jingyi's body was wet.

"My water has broken. My water has broken. The midwife said that when my water breaks, I'm going to give birth. Don't be afraid, young lady. I'll call for you now!"

The midwife was resting in other courtyards, and Li Zhu's movement was not small, and was heard by several other courtyards.

 The closest one to Xitang Courtyard is the Hanyi Courtyard of Bamei Xue Niang.
