Chapter 105 – [She] even planned out which kindergarten her grandchild would attend! (1)

Counting the days, it had been over two months since Ye Zhen took Ye Qing’s place in marrying into the Lu’s.

And, Lu Beichuan had woken up a month ago.

He had regained the ability to stand half a month ago.

In other words, if Ye Zhen was pregnant with Lu Beichuan’s child, the earliest it could have happened was half a month ago.

Thus, Ye Zhen had blurted out “half a month”.

But, how could anyone know if they were half a month pregnant? Right after saying those words, Ye Zhen regretted it. And yet, Lu Beichuan seemed as if he was directly going against her. When she said half a month, he said a month. They had no tacit understanding, and their secret was immediately exposed.

Ye Zhen looked at Lu Beichuan’s calm and collected expression and wanted to kick him. Didn’t he say that she could entrust this matter to him? That she didn’t have to worry about this matter?

One month?

You were still lying in bed a month ago!

Mother Lu was overwhelmed with happiness at the news of Ye Zhen’s pregnancy.

She often attended gatherings. It wasn’t for any special occasions. It was just a bunch of women with similar social statues and ages that gathered together to drink tea and chat to pass the time. However, women of her age either already had grandchildren to hold or were on their way there. Frequently, a perfectly nice gathering would devolve into a “Pregnancy Seminar”, “Exchange of Ideas for the Traditional One-Month Confinement”, or “Competition to Show off Your Grandchildren”. Every time, Mrs. Lu, who only had a son that wasn’t even married, had the unpleasant feeling of being left on the sidelines.

Now that her son was finally married and she had a daughter-in-law, she spent yesterday thinking of when she would be able to hold a grandchild. To her surprise, she was told early in the morning that her daughter-in-law was pregnant!

“Pregnancy Seminar” and “Exchange of Ideas for the Traditional One-Month Confinement” suddenly flashed through Mother Lu’s mind. She thought about how she would show off her grandchild and even planned out which kindergarten her grandchild would attend! She even thought about what extracurricular classes her grandchild would take!

In the upcoming gathering that would take place in two days, she would have to take paper and a pen with her to properly study from the other grandmothers.

Preoccupied by those thoughts, Mrs. Lu didn’t think too much of their answers. Her thoughts took a different turn from the answers they gave her. Feeling very dissatisfied with Lu Beichuan, she angrily said, “Lu Beichuan, you don’t even know how long Ye Zhen has been pregnant? What kind of husband are you?!”

“Zhenzhen, how could you not tell mom that you’re pregnant? It was so chaotic yesterday. What if something happened to you? Lu Beichuan, your wife is pregnant. Why didn’t you postpone the wedding? Why are you in such a hurry to get married? You’ve already been single for so many years. Why are you in a rush now? A wedding scene is so chaotic. What if someone had knocked into Zhenzhen or bumped into her?!”

After saying this, she held Ye Zhen’s hand. “Why is your hand so cold? Zhenzhen ah, why are you wearing so little? Is it because you don’t have enough clothes? Mom will have a store clerk send over clothes in this season’s new style... Lu Beichuan, Zhenzhen is your wife. She’s pregnant with your child! Look at you, not showing any concern at all! Its cold early in the morning. Don’t you know that your wife needs to wear more layers? What if she feels too cold?!”

“Butler! Butler, bring over a heater... Aiyo, I’m getting forgetful in my old age. The old butler has gone back to the ancestral home with Old Master earlier this morning. No, this can’t do. There has to be someone to manage to the servants at home. I’ll go call Old Master and have him send over the aunty housekeepers that have experience taking care of pregnant women... Old Master doesn’t know yet that you’re pregnant. I have to tell him the good news!”

She prattled on for a bit, not caring about the minor issue of how long Ye Zhen had been pregnant.

After she finally finished talking, she stood up and happily went to make the call.
