Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Next, Dong Jiafu continued to serve tea to Cui Jun, the first lady and the elders from the other three houses.

Finally, it was Cui Qishao's turn to bring Bai and other brothers and sisters to pay their respects to Dong Jiafu.

"Meet sister-in-law—"

Dong Jiafu took out the gift her mother had prepared for her and gave it to them.

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Cui Qiyu took the things and said loudly excitedly.

Cui Qiyan flicked his forehead with his finger and said, "You are a sensible boy. I won't bother with you about what happened last night."

Everyone present knew that several children had gone to make trouble in the bridal chamber, and they couldn't help laughing when they heard it.

On the day of returning home, Dong Jiafu told Cui Qiyan that she wanted to give her dowry to Dong Jialin so that he could open the inn as soon as possible.

"You can decide on your dowry yourself, no need to ask me." Cui Qiyan took out two boxes and gave them to her. "Inside these are some of my silver, money, shops, farms, etc., which I have. You can use them however you want, without my consent."

Dong Jiafu joked, "Aren't you afraid that I will squander all your wealth?"

"As long as my wife is happy, this little bit of money is nothing. It's not enough for me to earn more."

Dong Jiafu put her arms around his waist and leaned against his chest.

Cui Qiyan hugged her and stroked her soft hair with his chin. After a long while, he said, "It's time for us to go meet our father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Dong Jiafu then let go, and the two of them packed up and went back to the Dong Mansion together.

Xu Yiwan had been waiting at home for a long time. When she saw Dong Jiafu, she quickly pulled her to her side and asked her some questions.

She felt relieved to know that Dong Jiafu was doing well in Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

Cui Qiyan accompanied Dong Jingtang in talking. The father-in-law and son-in-law had previously been in the same Censorate, and now they were both important ministers trusted by the emperor, so they had a lot to talk about.

After dinner, Dong Jiafu found an opportunity to talk to Dong Jialin alone and gave him the silver and money she brought.

Dong Jialin was shocked when he saw the amount, "Afu, are you giving me all your dowry?"

"Brother, take it and use it. If it's not enough, tell me again."

"That's enough. This much silver is enough to open an inn. But you gave me all the money. What should you do if you don't have any money?" Dong Jialin was worried. "You are in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion now. It's not like you are at home. You must need more money. Why don't you take some back..."

Dong Jiafu quickly pushed away the box he handed over again, "Don't worry about me, second brother. I still have money in my hand. Youan gave me all his money."

Dong Jialin was stunned for a moment, then said, "We feel relieved knowing that he treats you well."

Later, Dong Jialin used the money to open an inn, and his business was booming.

After getting married, Dong Jiafu still went to the clinic. Except that the place she went to every day changed from Dong's Mansion to Dingguo Mansion, nothing else changed. In addition, the ladies who invited her to see patients respected her more.

When Dong Jiafu woke up that day, she suddenly felt nauseous and couldn't help covering her mouth and retching.

"Afu, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Cui Qi Yan hurried over to support her.

"I'm fine..." Dong Jiafu took a deep breath.

"You sit down first. I'll go ask Doctor Tan to come over." Cui Qi Yan helped her sit down on the bed and was about to walk out with a nervous look on his face.

Dong Jiafu reached out and held him back, "You forgot, I am a female doctor, I can see it myself."

Dong Jiafu said as she let go of him and put her hand on her wrist.

Cui Qiyan watched her checking his pulse and said worriedly, "It is said that doctors don't treat themselves. It would be safer for me to ask Doctor Tan to come over..."

At this time, Dong Jiafu stood up, took his hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, and said softly: "You are going to be a father."

Cui Qiyan was stunned for a moment, lowered his head for a long time, and said in disbelief: "You, what did you say, I'm going to be a father? Is this true? Afu, I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Dong Jiafu smiled and nodded. She was as excited as he was.

"That's great, Afu, we have a baby!" Cui Qiyan wanted to hug her, but was afraid that his actions would be too rough. He was so happy that he didn't know where to put his hands.

"What do I need to do now? Afu, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere else?"

Dong Jiafu had never seen him so flustered before. "The baby and I are fine, don't worry. It's still a young month, so there's no need to worry."

"That won't do. This is our first child. I have to protect you and your mother. No, I still have to ask Doctor Tan to come and see you. Come, sit down and rest first." Cui Qi Yan helped her sit down again.

It seemed that he couldn't feel at ease without the master coming, so Dong Jiafu let him go.

Soon, Cui Qiyan brought Doctor Tan over to take her pulse.

Doctor Tan smiled after the consultation and said, "Don't worry, my lord. Miss Dong's pregnancy seems to be stable. The baby has been in her belly for more than two months. Everything is fine."

Bi Tao, Meng Dong and others standing nearby laughed happily when they heard this.

"Thank you for the trip, Master," Dong Jiafu stood up and looked at Cui Qiyan, "Master said everything is fine, so you should be relieved now, right?"

"I'm relieved," Cui Qiyan breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Does Afu need to take some pregnancy-nourishing medicine or other tonic medicine?"

"You don't need to eat these. Just eat a normal diet every day. You can eat more walnuts, tofu, chicken, fish, etc. You don't need to take too much nourishment." Doctor Tan advised, "Dong girl knows how to take care of the fetus. Just listen to her."

"Okay, thank you Doctor Tan."

Cui Qiyan escorted Doctor Tan out of the house and ordered Ji Bai to take him back to the clinic.

The news of Dong Jiafu's pregnancy was quickly shared with the elders of both families, and both families were extremely happy.

It was already deep winter, and fewer patients came to the clinic for treatment. Dong Jiafu followed the advice of her elders and tried to go out less often, staying at home to take care of her pregnancy.

The old lady and the eldest lady were happy and often had people send gifts to her.

With the anticipation of many relatives, Dong Jiafu spent spring and summer with her unborn baby and gave birth to a baby boy in autumn.

The midwife came out carrying the child. Cui Qiyan took a quick look and then ran in to see Dong Jiafu.

"Come on, come and hold him for me..." The old lady took the baby in her arms and smiled happily, "I finally get to see my great-grandson. This child looks just like Qi Yan."

The eldest lady was holding the child's hand and looking at the child's face. "I don't know if it's because this is my child, but the more I look at him, the more I think he's pretty."

The fourth lady smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is right. With such outstanding parents, this child will definitely grow up to be good."

The second wife watched with envy, thinking that the position of the eldest son in the next generation was snatched away by the first wife. Fortunately, Bai finally became pregnant again, so there was still some hope.

In the room, Dong Jiafu, who had just given birth, was sweating profusely.

Cui Qiyan held her hand, his voice trembling, "Afu, thank you for your hard work. I couldn't hear your voice outside. I was scared to death. Fortunately, you are okay."

Dong Jiafu smiled softly and said, "I'm not shouting because I'm saving my energy. Have you seen our son?"

"Look, he doesn't know anything yet. He has his grandmother and mother to look after him. You don't have to worry. The most important thing is to take care of yourself." Cui Qi Yan brushed away the strands of hair stuck to her forehead, his eyes full of heartache.
