Chapter 1233: Chapter 1230: Zhao Qingqing is Back
Although she did not get a clear answer, since Zhao Qingqing had returned, there would eventually be an opportunity to talk, so she let the matter go.
“Ah Yu, have you thrown up again?” Madam Liu glanced at the spit basin, “Should you try all these nutritional products? If you don’t eat, your body will collapse.”
“Then, should we cook some bird’s nest?” Ye Muyu’s stomach felt uncomfortably empty, yet she paradoxically couldn’t eat.
“Lady, the hot and sour rice noodles are ready.” Su Mei brought over a bowl of rice noodles.
Ye Muyu sat at the table and when she smelled the oily scent, her stomach couldn’t help but churn. She endured it and took a bite.
“Uh…”
She vomited a few mouthfuls again.
Su Mei hurriedly had someone bring over mouthwash and used a handkerchief to clean her mouth.
Ye Muyu took it over herself.
Her beautiful eyebrows were already furrowed.
“Lady, are you feeling better?” Su Mei didn’t expect the reaction to still be so severe.
She waved her hand to have the maidservants take the hot and sour noodles away.
After calming down for a while, Ye Muyu felt the sour taste in her mouth, which only made her hungrier.
“I feel like having something sour, make a bowl of noodles without oil and add more vinegar.”
Madam Liu asked worriedly from the side, “Can we use chicken soup, skim off the fat from the surface for better nutrition?”
“Let’s try that.”
Seeing that Ye Muyu agreed, Madam Liu quickly motioned for Su Mei to proceed.
When the chicken soup rice noodles were served, just the smell of the strong vinegar was evident.
Madam Liu stared intently at Ye Muyu, and only when she began eating did she relax.
She then instructed Su Mei, “Tell the kitchen to keep the chicken soup simmering.”
“Old Madam, rest assured, the servant had already instructed them early. If the lady wishes to have it, it will certainly be available at any time,” Su Mei nodded in response.
At noon, Ye Muyu finally managed to eat, although she only had half a bowl, and it contained quite a bit of vinegar.
Seeing that she liked sour food,
Madam Liu instructed the main kitchen to prepare various sour dishes in rotation.
A few days later,
In the morning, Ye Muyu had just gotten out of bed.
Su Mei came in to report, “Lady, the gatekeeper said Miss Zhao has arrived.”
Knowing of the close relationship Ye Muyu had previously with Zhao Qingqing, Su Mei did not dare to neglect her.
After Ye Muyu said she wanted to see her, it was only a moment before the guest was ushered in.
Zhao Qingqing entered with hurried steps and instinctively looked at her abdomen, “Sister Ye, are you really pregnant?”
Surprise flickered in her eyes.
Although there was also a sister-in-law who was pregnant at home, she kept her distance to avoid impropriety, and was very curious about Ye Muyu’s pregnancy.
“Yes.” Ye Muyu nodded gently, her face glowing with maternal radiance.
She had Su Mei bring Zhao Qingqing a stool.
Once Zhao Qingqing was seated, she asked many questions about the pregnancy, finally frowning, “Sister Ye, it’s all Lord Chu’s fault. How could he let you get pregnant only after he left?”
“He, as a father, is not here, leaving all the hardships to you.”
Although Ye Muyu missed Chu Heng, she also supported what he had to do, and flicked Zhao Qingqing’s forehead gently, “Nonsense, pregnancy depends on fate, not just Ah Heng, even I can’t control it.”
“Sister Ye you always defend Lord Chu,” Zhao Qingqing wrinkled her nose.
“Are you going back to Yuzhou this time?” Ye Muyu asked softly.
Zhao Qingqing shook her head, scrunching her nose, “No, Grandfather said he wants to come back to take charge, to keep an eye on my second uncle.”
Second Master Zhao from the Zhao family was also stationed in the Capital, initially choosing to cooperate with the Qi family’s Grand Secretary Qi.
Hearing this, Ye Muyu sighed with relief, “Qingqing, the current emperor still prefers loyal officials.”
Zhao Qingqing appeared not to expect her to say that.
