Chapter 202: Chapter 184, Fortunate in Love_1

“What did you say, Auntie Lin fainted?”
Daohua looked at Wang Manman with a face full of astonishment, then spoke somewhat speechlessly, “She couldn’t have chosen a worse time to faint. Father has already gotten into the carriage and left; who is she fainting for? She couldn’t have mentioned it earlier?”
Wang Manman, seeing that Daohua thought Auntie Lin was pretending, immediately replied, “She really fainted, her face was deathly pale, and Madam has already sent for a doctor.”
Daohua was taken aback, “Really fainted? Why on earth? Just because Father left in a hurry and didn’t pay attention to her, she becomes so angry that she faints?” Daohua clicked her tongue twice, “She’s really been pampered by Father to the point of being sickly. Her mental resilience is a bit lacking!”
Wang Manman, seeing that her young lady was still in the mood for jokes, was also speechless, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but then she swallowed her words back down.
Noticing her hesitancy, Daohua was puzzled, “What’s wrong? Speak up, don’t beat around the bush.”
Wang Manman hesitantly said, “Miss, when I used to run with my father delivering goods, I saw women faint, and then they were diagnosed as being pregnant.”
Upon hearing this, Daohua was stunned, and it took her a long while to come back to her senses.
“No… no way?”
Daohua felt her temples throbbing violently. She had just managed to see Father become a bit colder towards the people of Shuangxin Courtyard; could it be that everything was going to be turned on its head again?
“Let’s go, let’s go see in the main house.”
Daohua couldn’t sit still any longer, and, taking Wang Manman with her, ran towards the main house.
Just as they reached the entrance of the main house, they saw Ping Xiao escorting the doctor away.
Daohua hurriedly asked, “Sister Ping Xiao, is Auntie Lin alright?”
Ping Xiao’s expression was complicated as she glanced at Daohua, “Miss, you better ask Madam yourself.”
Hearing this, Daohua’s heart skipped a beat, and she turned around and entered the yard, “Mother, what exactly is wrong with Auntie Lin?”
Madam Li raised her eyes to look at her daughter, her expression very calm, “Congratulations, you’re going to be a sister again.”
“She really is pregnant?!”
Daohua immediately widened her eyes, her face unable to hide her mixed feelings.
Seeing her display of emotions, Madam Li glared at her, “Close that gaping mouth of yours. It’s not a big deal; is it worth your shock?”
Daohua instantly sat down next to Madam Li, “Mother, aren’t you worried?” With Father showing favoritism to Auntie Lin above all, her pregnancy would surely make her even more smug.
Madam Li calmly said, “What’s the point of worrying? She’s your father’s concubine, and your father loves spending nights there…” At this, Madam Li immediately stopped, her daughter was still young, it was inappropriate to talk about such things.
Seeing that Madam Li had suddenly stopped speaking, Daohua shook her arm.
Madam Li: “Anyway, Auntie Lin being pregnant is a good thing for the Yan Family.”
“But it’s not for us,” Daohua blurted out.
Madam Li quickly glanced at the people in the room, and, seeing that only Ping Tong and Wang Manman were present, she breathed a sigh of relief and then sternly said to Daohua, “You can say this sort of thing in front of your mother, but not in front of others, including the old lady. You mustn’t show even a trace of discontent.”
Adding to the family is a cause for celebration for any household. The old lady cherished her daughter, but that didn’t mean she didn’t wish for the flourishing of the Yan family.
Daohua, seeing how serious Madam Li was, shrank her neck and nodded.
