The family had a great time at the New Year's Eve family dinner.

Gu Xiuming had been having New Year's Eve dinner with them for more than ten years. Although he was no longer around this year, some people thought of him, but they were wise enough not to mention him on such an occasion, so as not to spoil the fun.

According to the official escort who escorted Gu Xiuming and Li Waner, Gu Xiuming almost died of illness during the journey, but in the end he survived and arrived in Yazhou alive with Li Waner.

However, when they arrived in Yazhou, they could not fall in love with each other. On the way to Yazhou, they quarreled countless times. If there were no official officials, they would probably fight. Because of their presence, the officers escorting them had more fun and the journey was less boring.

Sometimes, no matter how much you like a person, that person will become worthless in the face of interests, and all the past alliances will not count. This is the reality.

In Gu Xiuming's heart, Li Waner turned from a pet peeve to a thorn in his side. If nothing unexpected happened, they would torture each other for the rest of their lives, and they would never be able to reconcile in this life.

After the family banquet, the juniors accompanied Mrs. Gu to stay up late.

At midnight, everyone went back to their own courtyards to rest. Meng Jinyao, who was used to going to bed early after becoming pregnant, was already yawning frequently.

Gu Jingxi looked at the way she could fall asleep even standing up, and then looked at her belly. He couldn't carry her back on his back, nor could he hold her, as it would compress the child in her belly, so he said, "Ayao, hold on any longer." In a while, you can sleep in a while.”

Meng Jinyao nodded, yawned again, and asked: "Now that I have an imperial edict, should I go to the palace to pay my respects tomorrow morning? I think my mother went to the palace to pay her respects on the first day of the first lunar month last year."

Gu Jingxi replied: "No need to do so this year. The Queen is not in the mood to entertain the concubine now. The emperor has also issued an order that on the first day of the first lunar month this year, all civil and military officials and the concubine of the court will not have to enter the palace to pay their respects."

Meng Jinyao nodded again: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince passed away less than a month ago."

Regardless of their status, the emperor and the empress are ordinary people, and the pain of losing their children is no less painful than that of other parents.

Yongchang Bofu.

Dong was hosting a family dinner, and the Meng family had a small population, so she was more relaxed, but she still felt tired and sleepy.

Seeing that she was yawning and showing no energy, the maid suggested softly: "Madam, why don't you go and rest for a while? I can just keep an eye on her for you."

"fine."

Ms. Dong shook her head slightly. She knew that her mother-in-law was not easy to get along with. There was a family dinner today, but she went to rest. It was good that nothing went wrong. If something went wrong, her mother-in-law would have to give her a scolding tonight.

When she first entered the house, her mother-in-law had a fair attitude. When she learned that she wanted to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, she criticized her a lot. Later, because she couldn't persuade the eldest girl to help the Meng family, she even disliked her and directly She was asked to be careful every morning and dusk, and to be filial to her elders.

She had been someone else's daughter-in-law before, but compared to her ex-husband's family, the Meng family was far different from her ex-husband's family except for their higher family status. Her ex-father-in-law and mother-in-law were both sensible and felt sorry for her being a young widow. , after she had been mourning for three years, he persuaded her to return to her parents' family and remarry. When she got married, her ex-husband's family even sent someone to send a congratulatory gift.

Comparing this, her current life is no different from falling into a pit of fire. Her mother-in-law is unkind. Although her husband currently loves her, she understands that he is not a good person. She doesn't know how long this love can last.

The maid was worried about her and persuaded her again: "Madam, we have to stay up late tonight. If you don't rest now, how can you still be energetic tonight?"

Dong replied: "It's okay, just find something to do to kill time tonight."

After the maid heard this, she stopped trying to persuade her.

At the family dinner.

Meng Jinyao and Meng Jinyu were married, and there were only five people at the Meng family's dinner table. Moreover, the five of them were not in harmony, and there were gaps in their hearts.

Meng Chengzhang felt resentful towards his father, grandmother, and younger brother.

Meng Chengxing had a bad relationship with his brother, father, and stepmother. Originally, he had no estrangement from his father, but because his father now valued his brother and ignored her, as if he had become an abandoned son, he became dissatisfied.

Mrs. Meng is dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law, and Meng Dongyuan is dissatisfied with her younger son who is not living up to expectations.

As for Dong, except for Meng Chengzhang, she was dissatisfied with the other three people.

Therefore, when five people get together to have a New Year's Eve dinner, they are not in harmony with each other, and it is difficult to really enjoy themselves. There is a little silence at the banquet.

In previous years, the New Year's Eve family dinner was very lively, but this year it seemed a bit deserted. Mrs. Meng was even more dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law. What's the use of knowing poetry and songs after reading the Four Books and Five Classics? As the head matron of the house, she doesn't even know how to liven up the atmosphere. She is really far inferior to Sun in this regard.

Meng Dongyuan took a piece of fish to Dong.

Mrs. Dong didn't want to eat it at first, but she didn't want to offend her husband in public, so she picked it up and prepared to eat it. Before she could eat it, she was nauseated by the fishy smell. She immediately covered her mouth and retched.

Mrs. Meng immediately lowered her face: "What's the matter with you? You can't even eat a meal. Even if today's meal is not to your liking, you won't get into trouble."

Mrs. Dong hurriedly said: "Mom, my daughter-in-law doesn't know what's going on. She feels like vomiting after smelling the fishy smell these past two days."

When Madam Meng heard this, she thought thoughtfully and softened her tone: "That's all, I'll let the doctor from Ling Mansion come and take a look at you after dinner."

Mrs. Dong was a little flattered and nodded gently: "Okay."

After dinner, Doctor Ling came over with a medicine box to diagnose and treat Dong.

When Doctor Ling's fingers touched Mrs. Dong's wrist, Mrs. Meng's eyes became more expectant. After Doctor Ling finished checking her pulse, she asked, "How is it?"

Doctor Ling Mansion smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the uncle, congratulations to the madam. Madam has a happy pulse and has been pregnant for more than a month."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.

Mrs. Dong couldn't believe her ears. She had been married to her ex-husband for several years, but there had been no movement in her belly. Everyone said she couldn't have a baby, and she thought so too. Unexpectedly, she was pregnant now?

Mrs. Meng immediately beamed with joy, and even looked at Mr. Dong and felt that she was very pleasing to the eye. Their family may not have had a child for a long time, and they were originally prepared. Ms. Dong was infertile, but she didn't expect that she could become pregnant.

Meng Dongyuan was also very happy. His wife's ex-husband couldn't get his wife pregnant, but he could, which proved that he was much better than that man. That man was not only useless, but also a short-lived ghost.

Meng Chengzhang was a little surprised, but he was also happy. If his stepmother is pregnant, he will have a younger brother or younger sister. His stepmother is a kind-hearted and sensible woman who can educate her children well. If it is a younger sister, she will definitely be a cute little girl. He is a younger brother, and he can share the burden of the Meng family's revival with him in the future. As for the third brother, he has no expectations, and it will be fine if he does not hold him back.

The only one who is unhappy is Meng Chengxing. He didn't want to have a stepmother in the first place. Now that his stepmother is pregnant and his father has another child, will his father still have a place for him in his heart in the future?
