Chapter 586 - 233 Madam Ping is pregnant
Before I knew it, summer had arrived, bringing sweltering heat. It was so hot that no one wanted to move; simply moving around caused one to sweat, and everyone longed to nestle in rooms filled with blocks of ice.
Zhuang Ruolan was pregnant, and the doctor along with the experienced midwife said that the pregnant lady’s room should not have too many ice blocks, as catching a cold would be serious.
Zhuang Ruolan knew that catching a cold and taking medication would be bad for the baby. But the weather was unbearably hot, and she was feeling languid. Even the news of her clothing store making a huge sale and earning a great deal of money couldn’t lift her spirits.
Cai Yun suggested, "My lady, Miss Yueyao has been learning for so long, it’s time to let her take charge. With me and Cai Yi by her side, there shouldn’t be any major issues." Cai Yun didn’t want to see Zhuang Ruolan uncomfortable while still having to deal with the affairs of the mansion, feeling sorry for Zhuang Ruolan.
Zhuang Ruolan thought this was a good idea.
Yueyao naturally wouldn’t refuse. However, only when she actually took charge did she realize that what she had learned before was just the tip of the iceberg. The affairs of the mansion were extraordinarily complicated, with so many trivial matters that it was headache-inducing. Despite the trivial nature of these tasks, they had to be handled carefully; if anything like last time happened again, she would really need to burrow into a hole to hide.
While Yueyao was inside the house discussing matters with the steward’s wife, a sudden fierce wind outside almost snapped the trees. Soon, a heavy downpour began, splashing myriad sprays of water on the ground.
The summer rain came quickly and left just as swiftly.
After Yueyao had dealt with the matters, she went to the Main Courtyard. She saw Zhuang Ruolan resting in the corridor of the courtyard and smiled, saying, "Sister-in-law, the weather is refreshingly cool; I’ll accompany you for a walk outside. There’s a cobblestone path, so we needn’t worry about slipping."
Yueyao helped Zhuang Ruolan walk along the cobblestone path. The weather after the rain was pleasantly cool, walking on the path felt as refreshing as drinking chilled watermelon. The willows beside the pond swayed with the breeze, looking like millions of green ribbons. The fish in the pond also surfaced, blowing bubbles.
