Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 100 Got it

Seeing everyone's reaction, Zhong Xin was furious.

Seeing her like this, Chen Niang then said to Zhong Xin, "Don't think we're being mean, but we're not wrong either. Since Miss Zhong has been learning from the master for a while and feels that the master is being secretive and not genuinely trying to teach you, while the shop hasn't opened yet, the master is being charitable and probably won't make you pay the money in the contract."

Upon hearing the mention of contracts, Zhong Xin's face immediately turned pale.

Xu Qingmeng was, after all, a time traveler from the modern era, not a philanthropist. Since she had decided to teach her skills, in addition to trusting her character, the binding force of a contract was indispensable. Before Madam Huang brought her over, contracts had been signed and approved at the yamen.

Everyone who learns skills here must do the same amount of work for Jinxiuxuan. You can't just leave whenever you want; otherwise, you'll face a lot of compensation.

Zhong Xin comes from an ordinary family, and her family is patriarchal; otherwise, she wouldn't have become an apprentice.

As soon as Madam Chen mentioned the contract, her mind cleared up instantly, and she realized how impulsive and reckless she had been.

Zhong Xin's face flushed red and then paled, before she said, "Um, thank you, Sister Chen. I...I spoke without thinking. I was just a little jealous, I didn't mean to slander the company. I hope you'll forgive me, Sister Chen..."

“I’m not that kind of petty person, but you’re not a three-year-old anymore. You’re a grown woman now. Remember to be careful with your words and actions, and don’t be jealous of the master’s niece for no reason.” The last sentence was muttered by Madam Chen herself, and since the room was so quiet now, everyone heard it.

Zhong Xin's face grew increasingly grim, but none of the remaining people stood by her side, so she dared not say anything more.

Xu Qingmeng was naturally unaware of what was happening at Jinxiuxuan.

As soon as it got dark, she and Xinting returned home, where Yunsheng and Yunmo came out to meet them.

Xu Qing dreamt of the two of them laughing and joking, and knew that they had reconciled. They were just like children, their feelings came and went quickly.

"Sisters-in-law, you're back! I missed you so much!" Yun Sheng greeted them with a smile, then her eyes were fixed on the cake in Xin Ting's hand.

Xinting covered her mouth and laughed, then rubbed her head: "You don't miss us at all, I think you just want to eat. Grandma He is right, all you think about is food all day long."

Yun Sheng chuckled, then stuck out his tongue, not ashamed but proud, holding the pastries Xin Ting handed him, his mouth wide open, his smile incredibly radiant.

Before leaving, she called out to Yunmo, "Second Brother, let's go eat some pastries."

Yunmo followed along eagerly, saying, "Little sister, you eat first."

Xu Qingmeng and Xinting exchanged a glance, then subconsciously shook their heads, looking quite helpless.

Nowadays, the braised dishes in the restaurant are mainly made by He's family, with Aunt Tang and Aunt Li helping out. However, Xu Qingmeng still makes sure to check the taste every day. All she has to do is put the ingredients in. Although the work is a bit tedious, it's not difficult.

"Mengniang is back. Your mother has been missing you for so long." Aunt Tang and Aunt Li were washing and cleaning in the yard. Both of them were diligent and never idle. Since they started working for them, they would tidy up their yard every day before leaving.

"Yes, you're back. Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law and aunt. Xinting packed some pastries, which were practiced by the apprentices at the shop. We can't finish them all, so take some with you when you go back, otherwise it will be a waste."

That being said, this wasn't the first time the two of them had received pastries packed by Xu Qingmeng. They had initially thought they would be defective products, but to their surprise, the pastries were not only beautifully packaged, but when they opened them at home, they were astonished. Not only did they taste excellent, but the ingredients were also of high quality, and the shapes were exquisite—something they had never seen or tasted before.

Both of them were honest people. They realized that those pastries were unusual and obviously not something that ordinary people could afford, so they worked even harder.

Over the years, the two had worked many jobs, but none were as comfortable as working for the Gu family. Xu Qingmeng went to look for He Shi, but finding no one in the kitchen, she went to the main room to look for her.

"Mother, I heard you were looking for me?"

Mrs. He glared at her, annoyed: "You child, if I hadn't found out, how long were you planning to keep it from me!"

Xu Qingmeng looked completely bewildered: "Mother, what are you talking about?"

Her gaze fell on what was in He's hand: a long ribbon sewn from cotton cloth.

"What...what is this?"

Mrs. He paused for a moment, then looked up at her: "You don't recognize me?"
Xu Qingmeng shook her head, feeling confused. Should she get to know him?
Seeing her surprised expression, Mrs. He said, "This is a menstrual belt, didn't you know?"

Xu Qingmeng was dumbfounded, and her eyes once again turned to the thing in He's hand.

In other words, this thing is the legendary menstrual belt.

She then remembered that since she transmigrated in March and forced herself on Gu Yunyi, she had become pregnant, and naturally, she hadn't had her period for the past two months.

Xu Qingmeng naturally hadn't thought of that.

So, did Mrs. He know she was pregnant? Or...?
Xu Qingmeng was filled with anxiety, wondering how much He Shi actually knew.

"Mother, what are you doing...? Do you know something?"

Madam He snorted and pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed: "Mengniang, you've always seemed so clever, how come you're so confused now? Tell me honestly, did you and Yunyi share a room?"

"Um... um?" Xu Qingmeng's face flushed red, and she stammered.

Seeing her like this, Madam He understood everything.

Madam He gently patted her hand: "What's so hard to say? You two are husband and wife, what's the big deal? You haven't had your period this month, Mother, you're probably pregnant? Let's go see a doctor."

Upon hearing Madam He's words, Xu Qingmeng realized that this matter could no longer be kept secret. She hadn't yet figured out how to bring it up, but now that it had been discovered by chance, she decided to let things take their course.

Why not take a gamble? What if Gu Yunyi turns out to be someone she can entrust her life to? Why fixate on the ending of this book and give up such a promising investment?
She took He's hand and said, "Mother, I've seen a doctor, and I'm two months pregnant now."

"What? But you two aren't?" Mrs. He was startled.

“That…it is…” Xu Qingmeng stammered.

Now is not the time to worry about this. "Why didn't you say so earlier? And why are you so tired? No, let's go see a doctor now. We can talk about other things later."

He pulled Xu Qingmeng and walked outside.
