Chapter 61: Until the End of Time
While countless ministers wore worried expressions, everything in the Gu Residence was as usual.
Gu Yu had been too focused on mixing gunpowder a few days ago, confining himself indoors and not stepping out, more diligent than any young lady from a prominent family.
Upon hearing the maid’s report, Mengyao quickly pulled Gu Yu out to bask in the sun, fearing he might collapse from overwork, which would be terrible.
Although, with Gu Yu’s medical skills, it was practically impossible for him to collapse from exhaustion.
Still, Mengyao worried about her little husband!
Matters concerning gunpowder were not something that could be finished in a short time; it was better to proceed slowly, as there was plenty of time.
However, Mengyao knew that simply talking wouldn’t solve the problem.
Gu Yu would still sneak off to mix gunpowder.
Therefore, she could only wear him out.
Thinking that it had been a while since they had been intimate, Mengyao decided to take the initiative this time, forcefully taking care of her delicious little husband, leaving him with no energy to think about other things.
His eyes and heart would only be focused on her.
“Mengyao, we’ve been sunbathing for half the day. We should go back to work.”
“A’yu, just stay with me a little longer! Ever since we returned to the Gu Residence, you’ve been busy mixing gunpowder and haven’t spent much time with me. I feel weak all over and drowsy all day long!”
Although she had decided to “take care of” Gu Yu, as it was still daytime, Mengyao felt that public displays of affection were inappropriate.
It was better to wait until evening!
With only half an afternoon left until evening, Mengyao naturally wouldn’t let Gu Yu leave at this time… so, by any means necessary, she had to keep him.
However, what Mengyao said wasn’t entirely false; she did feel very weak recently.
Perhaps it was due to the intense stress and tension on her mind and body when she was being chased before, which was why she felt so tired now.
With a little more rest, she should recover to normal.
“Weak? Did you drink too much of that stimulant potion and have a side effect? Come here quickly, let me check you.”
Upon hearing that his little wife was unwell, Gu Yu no longer mentioned leaving. Instead, he quickly pulled Mengyao closer, preparing to take her pulse.
Many things had happened since leaving the capital; just the pursuit along the way made Gu Yu ache for his wife’s exhaustion.
After checking her pulse, he would see if he could prescribe some dietary remedies for her to regain her vitality quickly.
As Gu Yu thought this, he placed his fingers on Mengyao’s wrist. As he quietly felt the pulse, the expression on Gu Yu’s face gradually became blank.
Seeing this, Mengyao was immediately puzzled, wondering what Gu Yu had discovered through the pulse diagnosis.
Could it be that something was actually wrong with her body?
She had only wanted to prevent Gu Yu from leaving, but now that it seemed to be true, Mengyao felt a little dejected.
Her crow’s mouth!
If something really happened, the game of “pinning down the little husband” tonight wouldn’t be possible.
She felt like she was losing out significantly!!!
“A’yu, what’s wrong? Am I okay?”
After a long time without a response from Gu Yu, Mengyao couldn’t suppress her curiosity and directly asked.
Mengyao’s words were like a thunderclap, directly striking the stunned Gu Yu and pulling his thoughts back to reality.
“Mengyao, I’m just so happy… what a wonderful day it is today, truly joyful. I… you sit down first, don’t move, let me think of a prescription first, I need to help you recuperate your body…”
As if a remarkable switch had been flipped, after Gu Yu’s expression gradually turned excited, his words became somewhat incoherent, increasing Mengyao’s confusion.
What exactly happened!
Why was her little husband so happy?
“A’yu, tell me first, what exactly happened.”
Not letting Gu Yu leave, Mengyao directly reached out and grabbed his arm. When she pulled him in front of her, she looked at him intently.
She always felt that things were not that simple!
“Mengyao, you’re pregnant.”
“Pregnant?”
“With child!”
“???”
Subsequently, after a round of conversation, Mengyao stood frozen in place, having not expected that she was actually pregnant.
Thinking carefully, her period indeed hadn’t come for a long time…
But why was she pregnant at this time!
She had wanted to “pin down the little husband” tonight!
As Mengyao pondered these things, her emotions were incredibly complex.
For Mengyao, who had always longed for a child to arrive, her heart was filled with anticipation, thinking that she could finally be a mother!
However, the promised fun game couldn’t be played with Gu Yu.
After ten months of pregnancy, she would have to abstain from intimacy for ten months.
She felt it would be somewhat arduous.
“A’yu, even though I’m pregnant now, can we still do fun things together!”
“No, no. The baby is still small. You need to endure during this period, and you can’t practice martial arts anymore. We’ll talk about it after the safe period!”
Mengyao didn’t bottle up her questions. When she looked at Gu Yu with a face full of expectation, Gu Yu smiled and shook his head.
He directly refused.
This made Mengyao instantly feel disappointed. Looking at Gu Yu’s face, she felt a little angry, causing her to turn away and face Gu Yu, too upset to speak, feeling a bit wronged.
Her first pregnancy made her feel very awkward.
“Mengyao, my good wife, don’t you always like children?”
“But it came so unexpectedly!”
“It’s not unexpected. I’ve been thinking for a while that you might already be pregnant. I still trust the divination results that the old monk sent over… With me by your side, you don’t need to worry about anything.”
Seeing Mengyao turn her back to him, Gu Yu quickly took a few steps forward and directly hugged Mengyao’s shoulders, encircling her in his arms, and softly comforted her.
Although it was Gu Yu’s first time being a father, Mengyao was clearly more nervous.
However, Gu Yu couldn’t say anything more.
Afterwards, letting Auntie Fei chat with Mengyao might help alleviate her nervousness… Thinking this, Gu Yu didn’t delay. After Mengyao’s emotions stabilized, he immediately took her to find Auntie Fei.
At the same time, Gu Yu didn’t hide his joy. After sending Mengyao to Auntie Fei, he immediately rewarded the entire mansion with lavish gifts for the great occasion; all the maids and servants received rewards!
Gu Yu’s usual stinginess had vanished. After distributing several large chests of silver, the people in the Gu Residence immediately became beaming and joyous.
They all thought to themselves that they had truly come to a remarkable place!
Just because the young lady was pregnant, the son-in-law directly bestowed so much!
If she got pregnant again next time, wouldn’t the rewards be even greater!
Well, they must stay in the Gu Residence until the end of time.
