Chapter 957 - Chapter 957 Chapter 957 The County Magistrate Takes It
Chapter 957: Chapter 957 The County Magistrate Takes It Seriously Chapter 957: Chapter 957 The County Magistrate Takes It Seriously Prince Qi Residence had made such a grand gesture in presenting Su Yunjin and company with a plaque; the aides of the County Magistrate conducted an investigation and found out that Su Yunjin had saved the life of the wife of Prince Rui and her unborn child, which heightened the matter of her shop being burnt down in their eyes.
Magistrate would thoroughly investigate this matter, and Su Yunjin herself would also look into it privately. While they were speaking, Gu Ya returned from outside, his hands laden with numerous items including chicken, duck, pork bones, and fish. Gu Ya had purchased a heap of nourishing goods, leaving Mrs. Chu staring at him in astonishment.
“Third brother, why did you buy so much stuff?” Not only Mrs. Chu, but Gu Jianghai was also puzzled. The third brother bought so much, it seemed like it would take several days to finish, right?
Gu Ya glanced at his young wife, his gaze tender, before he said to Mrs. Chu, “Sister-in-law, these items are all for your third sister-in-law to nourish her body.”
As he spoke, Gu Ya’s eyes softened further when he looked at his young wife. Mrs. Chu, a mother herself who had borne children with Gu Jianghai, immediately caught on when she heard Gu Ya’s words.
With a look of surprise, she observed Su Yunjin and ventured to ask, “Third brother, are you saying third sister-in-law is…?” Mrs. Chu’s expression made it plain that she had guessed Su Yunjin was pregnant.
Gu Ya did not deny it.
“Yes, sister-in-law, you guessed correctly. Yunjin is pregnant, it was just confirmed by the doctor today.” Upon learning that Su Yunjin was with child, Mrs. Chu was filled with joy, “Third brother, third sister-in-law, congratulations.”
Su Yunjin’s pregnancy also filled Gu Jianghai with joy. It was unexpected that on the day their shop had burned down, they could still have such happy news.
The Gu brothers all had children except for Gu Ya, the third brother. Now that his wife was pregnant, all the Gu brothers would have descendants.
Su Yunjin was pregnant.
In a moment, the gloom of the burned down shop seemed to be washed away.
What remained was the joy and excitement of Su Yunjin’s pregnancy.
Thinking of the child in her womb, the corners of Su Yunjin’s mouth lifted unconsciously. Perhaps it was due to the pregnancy, but Su Yunjin appeared to take on a maternal gentleness all at once.
Understanding Su Yunjin’s pregnancy, Mrs. Chu and Gu Jianghai agreed with Gu Ya’s decision to send Su Yunjin back to rest, reiterating repeatedly, “Third brother, she should indeed go back and rest. Take third sister-in-law home quickly. The first three months of pregnancy are the most crucial.” Worried about the jolts of the ox cart for his young wife, Gu Ya hired a carriage for her instead.
The carriage was steady.
It did not bounce around when ridden.
All those nourishing things Gu Ya had bought for his wife were placed in the carriage. Seated inside, Gu Ya held his young wife in his arms,
“Yunjin, I will get to the bottom of the shop incident. Don’t be sad about the Zuixiang Restaurant anymore.” The burning of the shop today meant that the young wife’s efforts in the Zuixiang Restaurant, which now lay in ruins, were completely devastated.
