Chapter 45 - All Pregnant!
The Zhao family’s butler acknowledged her and glanced at the little maidservant’s chest with a wretched look. He saw that the little maidservant’s already nervous body was even tenser. This pitiful appearance made the Zhao family’s butler look at her a few more times. His fingers moved as if he wanted to do something, but just as his fingers moved, he felt the letter in his hand and his face instantly sank.
The old butler of the Zhao family was over 50 years old, and his granddaughter was as old as Chen Zhaodi. Yang Kun’s new wife, Chen Zhaodi, was the goddaughter of the old Butler of the Zhao family. The old butler was the reason why Chen Zhaodi could be with Yang Kun. However, as he held the letter in his hand, the old Butler suddenly became irritated. What was going on with the Zhao family? The news of pregnancy spread everywhere in the Zhao family mansion, and all the cats and dogs were pregnant. Now, Chen Zhaodi was also pregnant. The old butler could not tell whose child it was. Chen Zhaodi had already climbed into his bed. Later, Chen Zhaodi got together with Yang Kun, and the two did a lot of things behind his back. The old butler had seen the red marks on Chen Zhaodi’s neck several times, so it was really hard to tell whose child it was.
The old butler walked into the Zhao family’s main hall while thinking. Zhao Ruifeng sat in the main seat, exuding a bit of an awe-inspiring aura. Zhao Yingying, who was wearing a blue dress, stood next to Zhao Ruifeng. Their aura made the old butler instantly calm down. Eldest Young Master Zhao was a man of his word. He had seen the battlefield before. When he came back last year, he had killed a few disobedient servants.
“Eldest Young Master, Eldest Miss.” The old butler bowed.
“Old butler, no one in your family is pregnant, right?” Zhao Yingying covered her mouth and laughed lightly as she joked with the old Butler.
“Don’t mess around, don’t forget that you’re a girl!” Zhao Ruifeng glared at Zhao Yingying, but unfortunately, Zhao Yingying pouted and turned her head away, ignoring him. The back of her head seemed to be saying ‘I don’t want to talk to you, you single man!’
“Eldest Miss must be joking. I’m already so old, and my granddaughter is already at the marriageable age.” The old butler wiped the thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
“Go and give the Mid-Autumn Festival gift to the little girl in the morning. Add some other things to it. Don’t lose the reputation of the Zhao family.” Zhao Ruifeng massaged his temple. He had heard so much good news that his ears had almost grown calluses. Little did he know that because Jing City was far away, there was a big wave of good news on the way. His grandfather and father were going to give him a big surprise! All of these surprises seemed to be silently mocking him for not even having a wife!
The old butler was stunned for a moment. He seemed to be puzzled by Zhao Ruifeng’s solemnity, but he did not dare to ask more and quickly sent someone to do it.
“Brother, just believe me. I really think that the little girl’s words are very effective. If you want to make a wish, just go to that little girl!” Zhao Yingying smiled brightly. She turned her head and finished talking to Zhao Ruifeng. Seeing that Zhao Ruifeng’s face was cold and ignoring her, she snorted.
Both Zhao Ruifeng and Zhao Yingying did not celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival, and even the Zhao family did not celebrate it. However, the Zhao family in Jing City celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival all year round. Before Zhao Ruifeng returned, Zhao Yingying spent Mid-Autumn Festival alone in her room. Mid-Autumn Festival was the anniversary of their mother’s death and the day Xiao Meili married into the family. Their mother’s body had not even turned cold yet, and their father was in a hurry to marry Xiao Meili. With these two things stacked together, how could they celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival? In addition, their father had twelve daughters, and over the years, he had intentionally or unintentionally distanced himself from Zhao Yingying. As a result, Zhao Yingying’s days in Jing City were even more difficult.
“Everyone in the house will be eating vegetarian food today. Double the usual amount for the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts.” Zhao Yingying ordered. Although they did not celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival, they still had to have everything in place. Otherwise, it would be difficult to control the people below.
When the maidservants heard Zhao Yingying’s words, they all smiled.
“I have something to do these few days, so you have to take good care of yourself at home.” Zhao Ruifeng paused for a moment. He knew that Zhao Yingying had not had a good time these years, and he was also very distressed. However, at that time, he was too young and could not do anything. Although this courtyard was far from Jing City and did not need to interact with the people in Jing City, it was not easy to manage a big courtyard.
Zhao Yingying sighed. It would be great if her big brother could get married. After she had a sister-in-law, she would not have to care about these trivial matters. However, she did not know who had the power to change the Zhao family and her big brother’s fate. Her big brother’s lonely life was really a curse.
