Xiaosuisui felt wronged. She clearly didn’t want to relieve herself, but her maternal grandmother insisted she did. What sort of logic was this? Her tiny face was taut, visibly unhappy. "What’s wrong? Are you not used to these unfamiliar surroundings?" Zhu Xiuxiu casually asked when she saw Xiaosuisui’s displeasure. Xiaosuisui shook her head. "No, Third Auntie, I clearly didn’t want to pee, but Granny insisted I did!" Zhu Xiuxiu was speechless. "Is that so?" Zhu Xiuxiu, suddenly eager for gossip, quickly asked, "What did your Eldest Auntie and Granny talk about after they got into the carriage?" "Not much. Eldest Auntie isn’t feeling well." "Your Eldest Auntie isn’t feeling well?" Zhu Xiuxiu pondered. Her eldest sister-in-law had looked a bit pale these past few days. It seems Mother stopped the procession to let Second Brother check her pulse. The rear of the procession suddenly stopped, and the Emperor’s party ahead also halted. With the sudden halt, the Emperor naturally inquired. When he heard it was because the Grand Princess needed to relieve herself, he didn’t inquire further. He merely said he was tired from sitting in the carriage and wanted to get out for a walk, so the entire procession came to a complete stop. Ji Youran took Wang Dongxue’s pulse, remaining silent for a long while. Matriarch Ji was burning with impatience. "How is it? Second Brother, are you competent or not? Does it really take this long just to check a pulse?!" Ji Youran glanced at Matriarch Ji and leisurely switched to her other wrist, his demeanor seeming to say, I’m just not going to tell you. I’m going to make you wait anxiously. Matriarch Ji was speechless. Could she beat this unfilial son to death? Huo Xing’Er’s head peeked out from the carriage window, her gaze landing on Ji Youran. Instantly, Ji Youran’s pulse-taking hand stilled; he dared not continue his act. "Congratulations, Mother, you’re going to be a grandmother!" "What?" Matriarch Ji was stunned for a good while before she recovered. Huo Xing’Er, who was beside them, was also astonished. "Eldest... Eldest Sister-in-law is really pregnant?" Although Matriarch Ji had suspected as much, hearing the confirmed news still left her somewhat in disbelief! "Yes. Although it’s still early, you should trust my medical skills. I wouldn’t fail to detect a pregnancy pulse!" Matriarch Ji did believe that. "Quick, go tell your Eldest Brother! Have your Eldest Sister-in-law move to his carriage so he can take good care of her. Second Brother, look at your Eldest Sister-in-law’s condition. Does she need to eat anything nourishing?" "When we arrive at Yang City, Eldest Sister-in-law should stay there to stabilize her pregnancy before we set off again. She’s showing some signs of a threatened miscarriage." "What? A miscarriage? She won’t be in any danger, will she?" "She’s fine for now. Aren’t we just half a day from Yang City? We’ll discuss it further once we arrive." In the carriage behind, Ji Youyuan was completely dumbfounded. How could she be pregnant already? His legs had only recovered a few days ago! He hadn’t enjoyed enough of their life as a couple, had he? And now, this? No wonder his wife had seemed rather uninterested in him these past few days. So it was this unborn child causing all the trouble! This little rascal, coming at such a time! Just wait until you’re born, see how I’ll deal with you! "Eldest Brother! You’re going to be a father! Why don’t you look happy?" Ji Youzhi asked, perplexed, when he saw his eldest brother looking completely stunned upon hearing the news of his wife’s pregnancy. Ji Youlin patted his shoulder. "Ji Youzhi, do you even know how to talk? When was Eldest Brother unhappy? He’s just being stoic, don’t you understand? You’re still a child; you need to learn a thing or two!" Ji Youzhi rubbed the back of his head, which was sore from Ji Youlin’s pat. He glared at Ji Youlin. "Ji Youlin, know when to stop! My head is slow because you keep hitting it! Believe it or not, I’ll tell Mother you’re keeping a young concubine outside and not bringing her back... MMPH!"
