Chapter 354 Who is the child’s father?
As the carriage slowly drove into Kyoto, the Nangong Mansion was already bustling with activity.
Huaichuan rushed back with the news that Yaojia was pregnant. Shuanghua and Mingjue put aside all other matters and made arrangements in the mansion.
Since Lin Congmo was not around, Lin Ruyi, this half-baked cousin, rarely took up the responsibility and came to congratulate Yao Jia.
As soon as the carriage stopped in front of the mansion, everyone rushed forward, their faces filled with joy and anticipation.
Shuanghua and Mingjue helped Yaojia get off the carriage, one on each side, fearing that she might get into trouble.
Lin Ruyi was rubbing her hands nervously and excitedly, looking at Yao Jia from time to time, her eyes full of concern and pride.
"Cousin, you're finally back. We were all so worried."
There was a hint of sob in Lin Ruyi's voice. Although he did not go to the enclosure, the affair between Concubine De and Prince Ping had already spread throughout Kyoto.
I didn't expect that Yao Jia was pregnant when she saved Xiao Fengyi. Fortunately, she didn't get hurt, otherwise...
When he thought about what might happen to Yao Jia, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Knowing what the arrival of the child in her belly meant to the Nangong family, she and everyone else carefully protected Yao Jia as she entered the mansion.
Surrounded by everyone, Yao Jia felt a warm current in her heart. The warmth from her family made her feel at ease.
The mansion had already been decorated with festive atmosphere. From the entrance to Yao Jia's Ruyi Tower, red silk and lanterns were hung high along the way, creating a peaceful and warm atmosphere. Maids and servants walked around with uncontrollable joy on their faces.
Looking around, the familiar and friendly environment made her feel full of a sense of belonging.
"Everyone has worked hard. You have put a lot of thought into welcoming me back. You will all be rewarded handsomely."
The servants all looked delighted and bowed to express their gratitude.
Shuanghua waved her hand to let them all go, and helped Yaojia into the house.
The couch had already been covered with thick cushions. As soon as Yao Jia sat down, Ming Jue couldn't wait to feel her pulse.
Shuanghua sat on the other side of the couch, while Gu Xiyan and the others brought stools and surrounded Yao Jia in the middle.
They all waited expectantly for Mingjue to take their pulse.
When Mingjue removed his hand from Yaojia's wrist, it indicated that the fetus' pulse was stable and the mother was healthy, so everyone could rest assured.
"That's good, that's good." Lin Ruyi nodded repeatedly, finally letting go of her worries. "My uncle doesn't know yet. Should I notify him and ask him to come back?"
Yao Jia shook her head. "It won't be too late to tell Daddy when the baby is older. If I tell him now, he will be upset and worry about it."
"That's right." Lin Ruyi agreed. Knowing that Mingjue's medical skills were much better than Xu Yanlou's, she casually asked him if he could tell how big the fetus was.
Mingjue put away the pulse diagnosis tool, frowned and thought for a while, then smiled and said: "According to Yaoyao's menstrual period, it should be fifty-three days. By the end of the year, we will have a cute little baby in our mansion."
When everyone heard this, their eyes were filled with joy and anticipation.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ruyi's next words would destroy the harmonious atmosphere in the room.
"Whose child is this cousin pregnant with?"
As soon as Lin Ruyi's words came out, the atmosphere in the room froze instantly, and everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to Yao Jia.
Yao Jia's face turned slightly red. She didn't expect Lin Ruyi to ask this question so directly. For a moment, she didn't know how to answer.
Gu Xiyan coughed lightly, breaking the silence. His eyes were gentle and firm, and he spoke first: "The child in Yaoyao's belly is naturally mine."
He said it as a matter of course, as if it was an indisputable fact.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Bai Huahua at the side could not help but refute softly: "This is wrong. The child has not been born yet, how do you know it is definitely yours? It may be Shuanghua's."
In Bai Huahua's eyes, the child is either his or Shuanghua's.
Shuanghua smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Good brother, I think it's your credit."
"is yours……"
"yours……"
The two of them actually started to refuse each other.
"It's mine, mine..." Gu Xiyan was convinced by these two guys.
Ming Jue remained silent, but a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. Although he did not say anything, he was secretly wondering whose child was in Yao Jia's belly.
Unfortunately, no matter how much I thought about it, I found nothing.
There was still an argument over there, and Yao Jia looked impatient.
Lin Ruyi also realized that she had asked a question that she shouldn't have asked. She scratched her head and apologized with a smile, "It's all my fault. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have mentioned this. Cousin, let's talk about something else. I just did a quick calculation. If it's more than fifty days, Da Siming and Langyue are also in the mansion. They also have a share in this child."
Yao Jia: …………
I glared at him and really wanted to stab him to death.
Huaichuan slapped Lin Ruyi on the head and said, "If you can't speak, just shut up. No one thinks you are dumb."
Shuanghua spoke up to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, no matter whose child it is, it's Yaoyao's. The most important thing now is to take good care of Yaoyao and let her give birth safely."
Although Gu Xiyan agreed with what he said, deep down in his heart he had already determined that the baby in Yao Jia's belly was his. Counting the date, it was the same time they had been together outside the secret realm.
He stopped Yao Jia from being purified, and so this child was born.
Just as he was about to explain the reason, he saw Yao Jia stand up and look at everyone with a stern expression.
"Don't ever ask questions like who the child is from now on."
"Why?" Gu Xiyan was unwilling.
Yao Jia stared at him for a moment, naturally knowing what he was thinking, and glanced at the rest of the people one by one.
Except Lin Ruyi.
"This child in my belly is naturally my child. If it is my child, then it is also your child. No matter who of you planted the seed, it will call you daddy in the future. Why do you still have to argue about whether it is yours or not?"
"Could it be that you want to favor one over the other and stop loving her (him) because she (he) is not yours?"
The question stunned everyone and they were speechless for a while.
Yao Jia's words were like a clear spring, flowing slowly into everyone's heart, taking away the previous embarrassment and disputes.
It moved several people.
There was a look of relief in Gu Xiyan's eyes. Yes, as long as it was Yaoyao's child, why should we care who the real father of the child is?
He gently held Yao Jia's hand, and said in a low and sincere voice: "Yao Yao, you are right. No matter where this child's bloodline comes from, I am his father. I will love him, care for him, and teach him everything I have learned."
Mingjue: "I will teach him medical skills."
Shuanghua: "You also have to learn how to do business."
Huaichuan: "Then I will be responsible for training a personal shadow guard for the young master."
Bai Huahua: "I..."
"No, no, no, I don't want her to be under so much pressure in the future. Just be happy."
Yao Jia interrupted them with a smile, a gentle light in her eyes, and gently stroked her unprotruding belly.
"I don't want you to plan so much for the future of my child before she is even born. In my heart, I just hope that she can grow up healthy and happy. As for those talents and skills, if she is interested, she can learn them naturally. If she doesn't like them, there is no need to force her."
Bai Huahua nodded in agreement, with a childish smile on her face: "Yes, yes, as long as our little baby is happy, nothing else matters."
Just like Yaoyao was when she was a child, carefree and letting her grow up freely.
As if he thought of something, he slapped his thigh, said "Ouch", and looked at Mingjue.
"I totally forgot that your wedding with Yaoyao is at the end of the month. Now that Yaoyao is pregnant, does it have to be postponed?"
Mingjue was slightly stunned, then turned his gaze gently to Yaojia, with a gentle curve at the corner of his mouth.
He gently stroked Yao Jia's hair, his eyes full of pampering and care.
"The wedding was originally planned for the two of us. Now that Yaoyao is pregnant, everything will naturally be based on her. It's not a bad idea to hold the wedding after Yaoyao gives birth."
He once said that status is not important, and it is still true today.
Yao Jia felt warm inside, but postponing the wedding was considered unlucky.
With a wave of her hand, she instructed Bai Huahua, "The wedding will go on as usual."
She patted her belly and said, "Maybe this little girl wants to attend my wedding as a mother. We can't deprive her of her rights as a little spectator."
