The east courtyard of Di Mansion's back house was filled with female relatives.

They were all family members of Di Qing's old friends in the army. They met each other often and were very familiar with each other. The wife and the girl sat in separate places talking, while the children played in the garden.

Mrs. Wei called her seven-year-old grandson and asked him to take the three little ones to play.

Xin Yi whispered: "Pay attention to safety and don't be naughty."

Wei laughed and said, "Children have their own ways of playing, so don't worry."

Xin Yi smiled slightly and said yes, but privately he still felt uneasy and asked Xing Yuan to follow him and look at the child.

Cao Yi's wife, Lu, was also present.

When she saw Xin Yi, she came over first to congratulate him.

"It's been a few months, and you seem to have lost a lot of weight?"

Xin Yi smiled softly and said: "It's more than three months ago. I seem to have gained some weight."

Mrs. Lu snorted, "You are hiding it so tightly. If I had known that you were seriously ill, I wouldn't have dared to teach you to worry about me like that."

"What did you say, madam?" Xin Yi smiled and said politely, fearing that Mr. Lu would be overly concerned, and added: "Actually, I am also a confused person. I didn't know that I was pregnant. It was diagnosed by Mr. Zhou a few days ago.

.”

"Really? Fortunately nothing happened, otherwise Prince Guangling would be very sad."

Ms. Lu was a little unbelievable. In her opinion, doctor Xin Yi was so powerful, how could he not even know that she was pregnant?

Of course, she didn't express her suspicions, she just glanced at Xin Yi's belly with a smile, and said with envy: "This is probably the meaning of planting flowers without intention, and planting willows without intention. Look, you got pregnant by accident.

, I have tried my best to get no news..."

"It will happen." Xin Yi patted her hand and comforted: "You must relax and find something else to do to kill your time. Don't think about it all day long. Take good care of your body and just let it happen.

Can."

"Yes." Mrs. Lu nodded, "When will you go to Yangzhou? Has the date been set?"

The two of them were not that familiar before, but it can be said that Fu Jiuqu and Cao Yi are relatives and fellow students, so they should be more familiar with each other.

Xin Yi didn't want to talk, so he had to bite the bullet and continue.

"I wanted to have fireworks set off in Yangzhou in March, but the imperial court can't wait. There are also official duties in Yangzhou waiting to be handed over, and the prince will probably leave Beijing and go south after the Lantern Festival..."

Lu was surprised, "Aren't you going to travel together?"

Xin Yi said: "My mother-in-law feels sorry for my physical inconvenience and is afraid of the long journey. She wants to wait until I am older or after I give birth..."

Lu nodded, "That's exactly what it should be."

The two of them were talking about each other, while the female relatives over there were admiring the beautiful clothes, saying which family's materials and tailors' clothes were good-looking, and which family's daughter's embroidery was exquisite and very interesting.

At this time, the curtain opened.

A girl walked over and said something to Mrs. Wei. Mrs. Wei's expression changed and she stood up immediately.

"eleven……"

Xin Yi turned his head, saw something wrong with her expression, and immediately realized something.

"What's wrong with mother? Is it the child..."

Before she finished speaking, a gust of cool breeze blew out of the curtain.

"Mother!" Three thoughts were as fast as a shadow, flying towards Xin Yi.

Her clothes were half wet, her face was pale, and her panic was visible to the naked eye, but she still remembered not to touch her mother's belly, so she stopped three steps away and gasped:

"Second brother, second brother jumped into the pond."

The whole house was silent.

By the time the female relatives reacted, Xin Yi had already rushed out.

··

That pond was expanded and dug deeper by Di Qing to raise fish on the original basis. The area is much larger than an ordinary family's viewing pond. There is thick silt at the bottom of the pond. Half of it is clear water for raising fish, and the other half is used to plant lotus roots.

.

The winter wind was blowing hard, and the lotus grown last year had long since withered, and the leaves and stems were hanging messily on the water, filling the air with a desolate coldness.

The pond is deep and the weather is freezing. You can imagine what will happen if a child falls in.

What result.

When Xin Yi ran over, the pond was already crowded with people.

Yi Nian sat blankly on the pebbles by the pond. His clothes were half wet like San Nian's and covered with mud. When he saw her coming, he lowered his head in shame and bit his lips until they turned white.

Several guards took off their shoes and socks and were fishing underwater.

Fu Jiuqu looked on with a cold face and said nothing.

Xingyuan was standing next to him and was talking about something. She suddenly turned her head and saw Xin Yi. She pursed her lips and almost cried.

"The princess is an incompetent servant who failed to keep an eye on the second young master."

It was not the time for accountability. Xin Yihan approached with a stern face. He didn't say anything. He just bent down to lift Yi Nian who was sitting on the ground, and then looked at the man salvaging from the water.

"Where did the second young master jump from?"

Xingyuan pointed to a fishing platform on the left.

There are several stone piers on it, and Er Nian's clothes and shoes are also placed on the stone piers.

Obviously he danced by himself, no one pushed him...

"Mother." San Nian leaned against her gently and complained in a low voice, "They humiliated the eldest brother, saying that he was a weak kid, too weak to catch a chicken... The second brother was not convinced, so he wanted to compete with them.

.”

Xin Yi said: "What then?"

San Nian looked at Yi Nian and lowered his head.

"They agreed to jump into the water together from the fishing platform, and then dive and swim to the other side to see who could swim the fastest. In the end, the second brother jumped alone. They didn't jump, and they were still laughing on the shore, saying that the second brother

It’s a fool…”

At the end of the sentence, Sannian clenched her fists and her eyes were red.

"Mom, I also want to practice martial arts with Uncle Fu. I want to defeat them."

Xin Yi touched San Nian's cold little hand and called Xing Yuan.

"You take the eldest son and the third girl back to your room first, take a hot bath, find clean clothes to change into, and then prepare a pot of ginger soup..."

"Yes." Xingyuan's lips curled up slightly, and she sounded like she was crying.

San Nian obediently let Xing Yuan hold her hand, but before leaving, she turned back to plead with Xing Yuan.

"Mom, it's none of Aunt Xingyuan's business. It was my second brother who dismissed her and asked her to get the horn bow from the carriage..."

"I know." Xin Yi touched her head and signaled Xing Yuan to leave quickly.

At this time, there was a sudden "wow" sound from behind, followed by an explosive exclamation.

Xin Yi looked sideways, his eyes almost falling off in shock.

A small figure suddenly appeared on the other side of the pond, waving his little arms, paddling desperately in the water, and swam to the shore amidst the shouts of everyone. He grabbed the stones on the wall of the pond with his hands and turned back panting.

, shouted with a trembling voice.

"You are all cowards!"

"Cowards, I look down on you!"

Then, the child's hands softened and his body slowly sank into the pond.

"Hurry! Save people!" the crowd roared.

Amidst everyone's exclamations, Fu Jiuqu rushed over like an arrow, jumped directly from the place where Er Nian sank into the water, and quickly lifted the child up from the pond.

Call!
