Chapter 142 General's Concubine 26
Chapter 142 General's Concubine 26
Yue Zhen was very worried when he saw Jiang Chunxi's stomach, but the current situation of the wounded in the barracks made it impossible for him to stop Jiang Chunxi from coming to the barracks.
"General," Jiang Chunxi looked at Yue Zhen's expression and could tell what he was thinking. She smiled at him very gently and said, "I know you are worried about the baby in my belly. Don't worry! I am not the kind of person who tries to show off. If I really feel unwell, I will make sure to rest well and not overwork myself."
"Ah!" Yue Zhen sighed slightly, "Thank you for your hard work."
Yue Zhen had seen everything Jiang Chunxi had done over the past year, and was naturally attracted by Jiang Chunxi's tenacious character and hard-working spirit.
A woman left such a comfortable place as the capital and came to the border. Not only did she not complain about the hardship or tiredness, she even went to the rear of the military camp to learn medical skills from the military doctor in order to contribute her part.
Every time there was a war with barbarians, it was common for Jiang Chunxi to work without rest for days and nights for the sake of the injured soldiers. Even when she was pregnant, she still worked hard and did not dare to slack off for a moment.
For example, in the battle a few days ago, Jiang Chunxi was busy in the military camp for three days and three nights with a big belly without sleeping. She went back to rest for a day, and today she couldn't wait to come to the military camp again.
How could Yue Zhen not be attracted to such a woman? Although he loved Liu Yaozhu in his heart, he couldn't help but develop feelings for Jiang Chunxi.
What's more, Jiang Chunxi is now pregnant with his child, so while Yue Zhen has feelings for Jiang Chunxi, he also feels very distressed for her.
If this happened in the capital, Chunxi's current pregnancy would definitely have her grandmother protecting her like a treasure. However, at the border, not only did Chunxi not receive any preferential treatment because of her pregnancy, she couldn't even get the most basic rest with her big belly.
"My little hardship is nothing compared to that," Jiang Chunxi said with a smile, "It is the soldiers and generals fighting against the barbarians on the battlefield who have the hardship."
"Okay, General, let's not talk about this anymore, and let's go back quickly! I haven't cooked for you for a long time. When I go back later, I will personally cook a sumptuous dinner for you, and let you have a few drinks." As Jiang Chunxi finished her words, she and Yue Zhen left the military camp hand in hand.
The customs of the people in the border areas are relatively open, and Yue Zhen and Jiang Chunxi's behavior of holding hands would not attract any unpleasant remarks from others. Unlike in places like the capital, even couples would not dare to have overly intimate actions in public.
Jiang Chunxi and Yue Zhen get along like a couple at the border, while Liu Yaozhu in the capital is going crazy with jealousy.
Ever since the news of Jiang Chunxi's pregnancy spread back to the capital, Liu Yaozhu lost control of her emotions that day and was severely scolded by the old lady. She was forced to kneel in the ancestral hall for several days and her legs were almost broken from kneeling.
"Send the letter to the border immediately." Liu Yaozhu handed the written letter to Biyun.
She could no longer bear it. She had originally planned to separate that bitch Aunt Jiang from her children. If that bitch really gave birth to a child at the border, she would write a letter asking Yue Zhen to send the child back to the capital for her to raise, thus making that bitch Aunt Jiang's child a knife in her hand.
But when the news came back that the bitch Aunt Jiang was pregnant, jealousy gnawed at Liu Yaozhu's heart like an ant, leaving her in torment all the time.
So Liu Yaozhu gave up her previous plan. She wanted to kill that bitch Aunt Jiang.
Biyun had been serving Liu Yaozhu since she was a child, so naturally she knew some words. Just now when the young lady was writing a letter, she was grinding ink on the side, so of course she knew what was written in the young lady's letter.
To be honest, Biyun did not agree with the young lady's approach. Concubine Jiang was pregnant now, and asking her to come back from the border was not deliberately making Concubine Jiang suffer? It was more likely that Concubine Jiang would have a miscarriage, and the child might die on the way.
Of course, Biyun knew in her heart that the young lady did this with the intention of getting rid of the baby in Aunt Jiang's belly.
But even though she knew that the young lady's behavior was inappropriate, after all, if anything happened to the child in Aunt Jiang's belly, could the old lady let the young lady go?
But Biyun didn't dare to say anything, after all, she was really scared of being tortured by the young lady.
To be frustrating, if it weren't for her family, Biyun would really want to commit suicide to avoid being tortured by the young lady to the point of being worse than death.
As soon as Biyun sent the letter, Nanny Sun immediately got the news.
"Madam, the young mistress has sent another letter to the general," Nanny Sun said as she handed the old lady a cup of tea. "It's only been a few days since the last time the young mistress sent a letter to the general, and she has sent another letter to the general."
"Really? The general is going to fight, not to travel. The young lady writes to the general so frequently. Isn't she afraid that it will affect the general and distract him?"
Nanny Sun just couldn't stand that vicious young lady, so whenever she had the chance, she would pick Liu Yaozhu out and denounce her.
The old lady's face naturally turned ugly: "Forget it, if she wants to write, let her write as much as she wants! Zhen'er is not the kind of person who has no sense of propriety. He will not be distracted on the battlefield because of a few letters from Liu Yaozhu."
"What I am more worried about now is the baby in Chunxi's belly," the old lady said worriedly, "How can Chunxi take good care of the baby in the border conditions? But the border is a long way from the capital, and I dare not let Zhen'er send Chunxi back. Otherwise, what if something unexpected happens on the way?"
"Old Madam, don't worry too much," Nanny Sun comforted her, "Madam Jiang is in good health. Even if she is at the border, she will definitely be able to give birth to the baby in her belly. You can just wait for your great-grandson with peace of mind!"
The old lady immediately smiled: "I have finally waited for this day. In a few months, Zhen'er will have someone to take over. I just don't know whether Chunxi is pregnant with a boy or a girl."
"Of course, even if it's a girl, I'd still love her. Besides, flowers bloom before fruits. As long as Chunxi is healthy, she can give birth to a great-grandson for me."
"Yes," Nanny Sun said with a smile, "I think Madam Jiang is a blessed person. She will definitely satisfy the old lady's wish. In short, I think that Madam Jiang is definitely pregnant with a boy."
The old lady was made to smile by Nanny Sun's words. Although she only liked her great-granddaughter, she naturally liked her great-grandson more than her great-granddaughter.
Another half month passed quickly, and the letter Liu Yaozhu wrote to Yue Zhen was delivered to the border at full speed.
