Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 268 Xiaotao's Stomach Is Confident
When Du Juan heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at Xiaotao's face and suddenly laughed again: "Look at you, little bitch, you still threaten people. This is your true face, isn't it? You usually pretend to be cute Lovely, docile and well-behaved, they are all bluffing."

Xiaotao turned her head away, not liking her breath on her face, she just said: "You and I are the same. I don't think the second young master has seen you like this before, right?"

At this time, Xia Jiu calmed down, and suddenly raised her voice: "If you don't leave, I will call someone."

Du Juan gave her a cold look, "You can shout if you want. You idiot."

Xia Jiu choked on her words, and suddenly lost her momentum. She opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't shout out.

Du Juan turned around with a smile, and walked towards the door, mockingly said: "This stupid girl can help you once, but not every time. So my good sister, we will meet later."

Du Juan sneered and left after saying these words.

Seeing her being so arrogant, Xiaotao couldn't help frowning, feeling very troublesome.

Xia Jiu, on the other hand, looked flustered and uneasy, and came to Xiaotao, at a loss, and said, "Girl, we have to be careful. This Du Juan is clearly here to find fault, and this servant knows that she won't give up so easily... ..."

Xiaotao was also angry with Du Juan in her heart, but seeing Xia Jiu's flustered appearance, she also felt a little uneasy.

Although Du Juan's visitor was not kind and she spoke ill, but not all of what she said was useless.

Apart from Xia Jiu, there was no one else she could trust, so how could she take care of herself alone.Today is different from the past, she has to plan for herself.

Immediately, a person popped up in Xiaotao's mind, the eldest grandma, and now she is the only one who can help her, protect herself, and protect this child.

However, the eldest grandma is not something she can meet immediately.Especially with the huge gap in identities between the two of them, and on the surface they are on their own, so it is really difficult to meet each other.

Xiaotao only hoped that the "message" she had sent earlier had already been noticed by the clever grandma.

On the other side, after Mama Wu prepared the zongzi, she delivered them to the courtyards herself.Ordinarily, these trivial errands can be done by others.However, Mama Wu still planned to send them in person, first to the main courtyard, then to the east and west courtyards.

Wu Ma deliberately sent the last box to Zhu Jinlun's yard.At this time, most of the maids and women in the courtyard were still eating, drinking and having fun in the backyard. Occasionally, three or two of them would return to the room and fall asleep because they were too full.

Wu Ma is the capable person next to Grandma, the porter recognized her at a glance, and greeted her quickly with a smile.

Seeing that they smelled of alcohol, Mama Wu smiled and said, "I'm here to deliver eight-treasure rice dumplings to Second Young Master at the order of Grandma."

Hearing this, the young servant hurriedly said: "Second master is not here at the moment, but Miss Xiaotao is here, mother, please come in..."

Wu Ma smiled faintly, walked into the yard slowly, and looked up, and it was exactly as she expected, the yard was deserted, and there was no one in sight.

The young servant blushed and flattered him, saying: "Masters, please be kind, let us servants also be happy. However, those maids and women are greedy, and they will still stay in the backyard. Would you like me to summon you for you?"

Wu Ma shook her head and said, "Don't bother, it's the same when I give things to Miss Xiaotao."

Hearing this, the young servant felt that she was really a talkative person, so he hurriedly bowed his waist and invited her in.

As a servant, without the master's order, he can't enter the house, so he can only stand at the door to communicate.

At this moment, Xiaotao was secretly anxious in her heart, when she suddenly heard the report from the boy outside the door: "Girl, Mama Wu from the west courtyard is here."

Xiaotao was taken aback when she heard the words, and quickly got up to greet her.

Wu Ma walked into the room with a smile on her face, pretending not to know her and exclaiming, "Oh, this is Miss Xiaotao, she is so pretty and lovely."

Immediately, Xiaotao understood, and hurriedly brought Xia Jiu to Fufu's body and said, "Greetings to Mama Wu."

The young man stood outside the door and heard something in his ear, and then hurried back to the porter's room to wait for orders.

Wu Ma handed the box she held in her hand to Xia Jiu who came up to her, and while looking at the layout of the house, she said with a smile: "This is the eight-treasure rice dumpling made by myself. Grandma asked me to bring some for the second young master. Try something new with the girl."

"Thank you, mother." Xiaotao turned her eyes, pointed at Xia Jiu who was next to her, and said, "Go and make a good bowl of tea for mother, and bring some fruit by the way. By the way, I also prepare some desserts. You have to choose." Bring the best."

She explained it very carefully. First, she wanted to treat Wu Ma well, and second, she deliberately distracted Xia Jiu so that she and Wu Ma could talk more.

Xia Jiu took the order and left, hurriedly walking, and disappeared after a while.

Wu Ma deliberately chose a seat where she could see the outside, and then she sat down and said, "I'll sit here and talk to you, we just need to pay attention."

Xiaotao nodded, sat down next to her, bit her lips slightly, as if she didn't know how to speak.

Wu Ma turned her gaze a few times and asked lightly, "Did you invite a doctor?"

Xiaotao shook her head, "I haven't told the second young master about it yet, if I invite the doctor rashly, I'm afraid he will be worried."

Wu Ma thought so too, if a doctor had been invited, the news would have spread by now.

"How confident are you in your heart?"

Xiaotao blushed slightly and said, "I can't tell you that, maidservant... It's just that menstruation is delayed, and she is always very tired, sleepy and anorexia... When I was a child, I saw my mother was pregnant with my younger brother, like It’s what I look like now, so I think there must be [-]% to [-]%.”

Mama Wu smiled slightly: "It's your first time, so it's okay to be confused for a while. After the grandma saw the cake you sent, she was very happy for you... However, to be on the safe side, I still invite the doctor to come over." It’s good to take a closer look. Pregnancy is not a trivial matter, it’s better to be careful.”

After hearing this, Xiaotao felt relieved, nodded quickly and said, "Your maidservant knows."

Wu Ma still smiled and said: "Hurry up and find a time to tell the second young master. If you really have one, it will be his eldest son."

That's right, if it's a boy, it's the second young master's eldest son, his first son.

When Xiaotao heard this, she felt a warm feeling in her heart, making her whole body warm, it felt as if her whole body was soaked in hot water, it was warm and soft.

Wu Ma then said: "Grandma said that you should take good care of your body. You don't have many people around you, and you always rely on Xia Jiu. I'm afraid it will be difficult to take care of you, so it's better to add someone else. In terms of candidates, I will keep an eye out for you, and if there is a suitable one, I will send it to you later."

Xiaotao couldn't help being very grateful when she heard the words, she said: "Thank you mom, I'm worrying about this right now."

Wu Ma said: "Young lady is here to serve the second master with peace of mind. Grandma has always cared about you very much, but now that she is pregnant, it is not easy for her to work hard. There are many things that she has more than she can do."

Xiaotao lowered her head, "Your servant knows, please ask my mother to turn around and say hello to my grandma for my servant, thank you for taking care of me."

Wu Ma nodded, "I see. I can't stay here for too long, girl. If girl has nothing else to do, I will go back first."

Seeing her leaving in such a hurry, Xiaotao hurriedly said, "Mom, don't leave yet, you have to have a cup of tea..."

Wu Ma shook her head: "After all, I'm from the West Courtyard. If I stay here for too long, people will gossip."

Xiaotao thought the same, there was almost no one in the yard at the moment, if there were people, seeing the two of them talking together, there would probably be a lot of discussion again.

Xia Jiu was holding the tray and came late. When Wu Ma got up to leave, she thought she was late, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mom, please stay. It's not good for slaves. The slaves are late."

Wu Ma said with a smile: "I'll leave the tea for you guys, I won't leave any more if I have things to do at this meeting."

Xiaotao took Xia Jiu to personally send Wu Ma out of the door, and watched her go away before turning back to the yard.

This was the second time Xia Jiu saw Mama Wu, and she couldn't help but sighed for a moment, "Did you notice? The people around Grandma all have gentle faces, and they all have kind eyebrows and kind intentions."

Xiaotao was surprised when she heard the words, she turned to look at her and said, "How do you say that?"

Xia Jiu smiled slightly: "I have seen Mama Wu and the maid called Chun Ming twice occasionally, and I think they always smile, have gentle faces, and look like they are very talkative. "

Although she doesn't know much, she still winks and knows what kind of people to deal with.

The corners of Xiaotao's mouth curled up slightly, and she said: "You are innocent, if someone smiles at you, you will think that he is a good person."

Hearing this, Xia Jiu looked up at her and asked, "Don't you think so, Miss?"

Xiaotao didn't answer, just smiled silently.

Good guys and bad guys, there are only a few people she can trust.Grandma is kind to her, but she will repay this kindness sooner or later. She knows it in her heart, so grandma will naturally not forget it.

Xiaotao slowly returned to her seat, looking at the tea and snacks that Xia Jiuduan brought, she had no appetite at all.

Xia Jiu sighed, and said: "It's a pity that these things, slaves and maids always pick the best."

Xiao Tao said lightly: "Then you eat."

Xia Jiu hurriedly shook her head: "You can't help it, this snack is left for you by the second young master."

"I don't have an appetite, it would be a waste if I don't eat it."

In the past two days, she didn't like to eat too much of anything sweet and greasy. Every time she took a bite or two, she would get tired of it for a long time.

Xia Jiu couldn't help feeling sorry for her and said: "Such a good snack...Girl, do you feel unwell recently, and your appetite is always weak."

Xiaotao smiled meaningfully: "I don't feel uncomfortable, it's just..." She unconsciously covered her flat belly with her hands, and said, "However, I still need to invite a doctor to come and take a look." .”

Xia Jiu heard the hand stretched out to the pastry, and immediately took it back, saying: "Girl, do you want to see a doctor now?"

Xiaotao shook her head slightly: "No, tomorrow. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, which is a good day. Let's celebrate the festival first."

Early the next morning, Xiaotao made an excuse to say that she had a disharmony in her spleen and stomach, and wanted to find a doctor to come into the mansion to have a look.

When Zhu Jinlun heard the words, he immediately took this matter to heart, and found Dr. Zhang who often asked for a safe pulse for his mother.

The doctor Zhang had superb medical skills, and after taking the pulse, he smiled and went forward to congratulate Zhu Jinlun.

Zhu Jinlun was startled when he heard the words, but he didn't react for a while. He turned his head to look at Xiao Tao, his slightly wide eyes subconsciously landed on her stomach.
