Chapter 7 — My Husband Can't, But I'm Pregnant

14Ta Tinh Chi paid special attention to this new event. Perhaps he finally understood what it means to stumble once and become a little wiser, or perhaps the story of Thinh Nhi being taken away finally left a ghost in his heart. Every time it was quiet at night, he sat alone in the study room, took out the clothes Thinh Nhi used to wear, and his eyes immediately turned red. After all, from the time Thinh Nhi was born until he was taken away, he carried the baby in his arms every day and learned how to change diapers. Now that I have another child in my belly, every night he orders the guards to patrol my yard carefully, even the bushes in the corners of the walls have to be turned up to check, saying that this is to prevent disaster from happening, absolutely cannot let the second child be snatched away again. When Mrs. Hou saw that I was pregnant again, she was happy on the outside, but behind her back she felt extremely guilty. Before the first person could hug him for long, he was robbed by bad guys right at the month-long party. Every time she remembers that handsome boy, her heart hurts like a knife. After all, she clearly understood in her heart that this matter was the Ta family's fault towards me. Fortunately, my parents were generous and did not come to pursue me. If we really make a fuss, with Marquis's old hands and feet, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand my father's three powers. Sister A's side had never planned on this matter. Just a few days later, they gave me a reward, telling me to rest assured to raise my baby. As time passed, the rumors outside also gradually changed direction. The back-talk that I couldn't have children before has now turned into admiration. Outsiders say that I am someone who is destined to get pregnant easily, so why can't I have children? During the party, someone pulled Mrs. Hou back and asked her which temple she went to and which Buddha she prayed to for such a powerful effect. Mrs. Hau held a cup of tea and smiled proudly: "It's not like Buddha and Bodhisattva have appeared. It's clearly the blessing of the Ta family's ancestors. The ancestors' tombs are filled with green smoke." She rarely settles down for five months. That day, I was passing by the hallway and accidentally heard Mrs. Hou talking to her mother in the room. She lowered her voice, her voice filled with scrutiny: "Look at her belly, it's so pointed, just looking at it you can tell it's a female child." "I still remember Thinh Nhi. That child is so pretty and strong, just looking at her I know it's the bloodline of our Ta family." Madam Hau sighed. "Mom, tell me... is there any way to turn the girl in the womb into a son?" She leaned closer and whispered next to her. a few words in her ear. Mrs. Hau's eyes lit up: "Really?" Mom nodded repeatedly: "Of course it's true. In the maid's village, many women drank for a month. At first, they were girls, but in the end they all turned into fat and healthy little boys." "Then tomorrow I will personally go to the temple to pray!" I secretly ordered my close maid to quietly follow. At noon, the maid returned to report, saying that Lady Hau had prayed for a few talismans in the temple, hugging them in her chest like hugging a treasure. A few days later, my mother still carried the bird's nest to my room to serve me. The lid of the white ceramic bowl was opened and hot steam rose up. I lowered my head to look, then suddenly raised my hand to gently stop her. "Just leave it there first, it's too hot, let it cool and then drink." Mom didn't show anything, smiled in response and then retreated. I turned around and told the maid, while it's still hot, bring this bowl of bird's nest to Ta Tinh Chi's study, saying that I specifically instructed him to nourish his body. Ta Tinh Chi happily drank for a month, but also had diarrhea for a month. The whole person turned thin, his face turned pale, and he staggered when walking. Mrs. Hou saw this and felt anxious, thinking that he had too many official duties recently. For the last time, she came in person

While visiting Ta Tinh Chi in the study room, he often saw a maid carrying a bowl of bird's nest coming out of the courtyard. As soon as she looked, she realized that the white porcelain bowl was the one she ordered her mother to bring every day for me to support my pregnancy. She immediately made a fuss, angrily ran to my hospital, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she questioned: "How can you give that to me to eat?!" I looked innocent: "What is in here? Why can I eat it, but you can't?" Ta Tinh Chi also followed, his face pale, his eyebrows furrowed: "Mom, what did you put in the bird's nest?" Mrs. Hou's face turned blue, then white, and in anger, she finally blurted out: "That's... that's a pregnancy transformation spell!14 Ta Tinh Chi paid special attention to this pregnancy. Ta Tinh Chi's voice was low: "Mom, where did you get this?" Mrs. Hou craned her neck and decisively disregarded everything: "At a glance, her belly knew she was carrying a daughter! Isn't it all for your own good?" "It's hard for you to have children to continue the family, so she can continue to have children thanks to the blessings of the Ta family's ancestors. If the ancestors have blessed them, of course they have to give birth to a child to be good, to give birth to a child can continue the family line!" Ta Tinh. Chi was helpless. "Mother... daughter is also good. Don't you like daughter? When I was a child, I used to wear dresses every day, braid my hair in pigtails, and make me up to look like a girl." The Marquis was so speechless that he stopped her, so embarrassed that she turned angry, waving her handkerchief: "It used to be different, now it's different! Who said it was difficult for me to have an heir!"
