Chapter 492: Chapter 492: The Child is Named Little Radish (2)_1

"All married women should have children!" Sun Tingyu was slightly displeased, "My sister-in-law is pregnant, and now is the last thing she wants to hear about the Gate of the Ghost."

Pei Yuan smiled and looked at Sun Xiujin, saying, "You’re not that young and you’re usually free of illness and disaster, so you’ll definitely have a smooth childbirth!"

Sun Xiujin felt that she wasn’t a kind person either, filled with indignation inside, yet she cursed her with malice, didn’t stay long, and after a few words, prepared to leave.

Outside, Lady Zou came over with Xingwang for a visit and saw her and Sun Tingyu there, greeting them with a smile, "Look at how big your belly is already, when are you planning to give birth?"

"Before the start of the Dog Days, just in time to finish the confinement period," Sun Xiujin replied with a smile.

"That’s great! You won’t have to suffer through the hot weather! Summer is also better for the baby, won’t have to worry about getting cold or frozen!" Lady Zou taught Xingwang to call out.

Xingwang, with his milky voice, called out and then slipped down from her arms, wanting to find Pei Qin.

"Your eldest sister just went to sleep," Pei Yuan said and stopped the little fellow, then chatted with him about the baby in Sun Xiujin’s belly, telling him it was a little brother.

Upon hearing that, Sun Xiujin’s smile deepened. Her husband’s family all hoped she could bear a son, and if the first child was a son, her status in the husband’s family would rise even more!

Xingwang, however, retorted, "Little sister!"

Sun Xiujin’s face stiffened slightly.

Lady Zou’s face also changed, and she quickly pulled her son, teaching him not to speak nonsense, that Sun Xiujin was carrying a little brother.

For someone who had just started speaking and didn’t understand things, little children like this tended to be more accurate. Sun Xiujin’s complexion grew even worse, and without staying long, she left with Sun Tingyu back home.

Lady Zou frowned and lightly spanked her son’s bottom, "You little mischievous imp! I taught you what to say, and you still said the opposite!"

Xingwang hid in Pei Yuan’s arms, looking at his mother with a he-he laugh.

Lady Zou, feeling helpless, didn’t look at him but inquired about Pei Qin, wondering if she was unwell, "...Now that the weather has suddenly turned cold, it’s the easiest time to catch a cold. When you go to sleep, touch her, make sure she isn’t feverish."

Though Pei Yuan said aloud that there was nothing wrong, her heart was still somewhat worried. After talking with the mother and son for a while, she went to Pei Qin’s room to check on her.

Seeing her face flushed red in her sleep and perspiring on the forehead, she quickly touched Pei Qin’s forehead, finding it burning hot which frightened her, "Eldest sister! Eldest sister!"

Lu Hai heard her calling and swiftly entered the room. Seeing that Pei Qin had a fever, even his unchanging complexion shifted, "We can’t call a doctor now."

"If we don’t call a doctor, how will eldest sister take medicine to bring down the fever!?" Pei Yuan’s eyes reddened with worry.

"If we call a doctor, people will find out about her pregnancy," Lu Hai said, then lifted Pei Qin’s quilt and instructed Pei Yuan, "Go boil some hot water, wash a cloth to cool her down."

"I’m fine, just wipe me down with some strong alcohol, the fever will go down after that," Pei Qin said with a hoarse voice, opening her eyes.

"Eldest sister! I... I’ll go and get it right now!" Pei Yuan tearfully responded and hurried to prepare.

Lu Hai supported her to sit up and couldn’t help but ask, "Mo Heng and Young Master Shen, you have to choose one." This was when she was most vulnerable.

Pei Qin looked at him, "Lu Hai! You’ve also learned to take advantage."

"If you want to marry Mo Heng, just marry him! Even if you go far away, I can help you bring him back," Lu Hai said, looking at her.

Pei Qin shook her head, saying nothing. The idea of not marrying was deeply ingrained. Moreover, she was not suitable for Mo Heng.

"Are you afraid? Are you afraid that you’re not worthy of his extraordinary talent?" Lu Hai pointed out sharply.

Pei Qin’s complexion tensed slightly, "No matter how extraordinary, he’s still a living person, not an Immortal, there’s nothing to be afraid of."
