Chapter 361: Pregnant lady, fragile goods
361 Pregnant lady, fragile goods
Jun Hua gaped at the news. She stared at her stomach with bewilderment. Does it mean she is pregnant?
Soujin, who didn't usually express his emotions, looked surprised. He quickly pulled Ming Hui up, "Are you serious?"
Ming Hui nodded his head, "The pulse is not apparent, so it should be around one month, but I'm sure she's pregnant."
One month… it would mean that she got pregnant not long after their marriage. Jun Hua remembered the one week before their journey. This man indeed kept her company almost every second during those seven days, except the third day.
Soujin let Ming Hui go and walked towards Jun Hua with elation. He almost cannot contain his happiness at the news of Jun Hua's pregnancy. By now, he was grinning from ear to ear.
Jun Hua looked at Soujin in disbelief, "I'm pregnant?"
Now she finally understood the reason for her feeling rather unwell when she was fighting. The real cause was not because of the poison since with her martial arts the poison would hardly have any effect, but rather because of her condition.
Soujin nodded his head, "Yes, you're carrying our child."
Ming Hui coughed on the side to gain their attention, "I'm not that proficient in this matter, but I still know several things. First, you should rest in bed as much as possible. Second, you should not participate in bedroom activities for at least three months…"
When he came to that, Jun Hua's face turned red like a tomato. Do you have to be so direct? On the other hand, Soujin listened attentively to everything Ming Hui listed because he practically had no knowledge over this matter.
It took Ming Hui a long time before Soujin finished asking everything and drove him out along with Jun Zhenxian. He sat on the bed near Jun Hua. His hand cautiously touched Jun Hua's belly. As though afraid of harming the child, he quickly retracted his hand back, "Do you need anything?"
Jun Hua shook her head, "I just want to have some rest."
"I will protect you," Soujin now partially blamed himself for being so inattentive. He knew that Jun Hua was also a blockhead in this matter since she herself didn't even realize when she had her first period. He should have already expected that she wouldn't realize when she was getting pregnant too.
With Jun Hua having to rest most of the time, Soujin knew that they would most likely stay inside this forest for several days. At the very least, he wanted Jun Hua's condition to stabilize first before getting a carriage and leave this place. He snuggled into the bed beside Jun Hua, taking her into his embrace as he closed his eyes and drifted to sleep with her.
Jun Hua laid on the bed with a faint smile on her face. When she first took up the role to lead her family, she had already chose to abandon any thought to live as a normal lady. Now, she already gained things more than she expected in the past.
Still, there was something suspicious. Jun Hua remembered that she needed to be healthy in order to be pregnant, and the doctor always warned her that she was not allowed to do martial arts. It seemed that her body was actually already healthy for some time. The doctor must have received the instruction from her grandfather to not allow her to do martial arts.
Jun Hua's lips curled up. When she was feeling better, she will surely confront her grandfather about it.
Outside the room, Jun Zhenxian has a mixed feeling of both happiness and helplessness. He was genuinely happy for his granddaughter to have a child, but he is also helpless toward her current condition. He looked towards Yasha and Yamin who had been guarding the room.
"Guard her carefully, nothing should happen to her."
The two didn't answer, but Jun Zhenxian knew that they would do the same thing even if he didn't mention it. When they heard that Jun Hua was taken away, they sprinted with all of their power to reach her. He knew Jun Hua's place in their heart was extremely high. Nothing could replace her in their mind.
Jun Zhenxian sighed as he turned to the other room. He was sure that his granddaughter would realize that her body was not that poor and at most, it would be slightly exhausted. Well, hopefully, she wouldn't get too angry at him.
Ming Hui walked to the courtyard, where Fan Lanying and Yan were still in the midst of a spar. In a glance, it was apparent that Yan's martial art was not up to par with the girl and he was placed in an unfortunate situation for most of the time. However, Shu was making sure that his master was not wounded too badly from the spar.
Fan Lanying immediately stopped her attack when she noticed that Ming Hui had come, "How's Hua'er condition?"
"She is fine," Ming Hui answered, "But you won't be able to meet with her too much in the future."
"Why?"
"Because Soujin would surely confine her and pamper her relentlessly," Ming Hui answered with a grin. With that general only has one wife, he would surely spoil her to no end. With the addition that she now has his child, he would surely spare double effort in making sure that she was feeling comfortable.
Fan Lanying only understand after Ming Hui explained to her in a more direct ways. Her jaw dropped when she realized that Jun Hua is now pregnant.
"Didn't she only get married for a month and a couple of days?" Fan Lanying was stunned. Their efficiency was something amazing. As for herself, she wouldn't dare to think about it. She didn't want to have a child yet. At least, not before she realized her dream.
Yan picked up his wooden sword as he shook his head, "Among the three of us, the one who settle down the first is the most unexpected ones."
At first, they thought that Yan would be getting married first because of his love in flirting. Due to some matters, he instead became the last one to get married. Even now, he still didn't have any candidate.
"Are you sure they would settle down?" Ming Hui smirked. With the way Soujin and Jun Hua usually behave, there were little chances that the two of them would stay in one place for a long time. In fact, it was possible that they would go to many places a lot of time.
"…" After thinking it over, Yan knew that it would be highly impossible, "At the very least, I won't get beaten up again for the next few months."
Jun Hua was not allowed to fight, and Soujin was busy taking care of her. He could heave a sigh of relief.
"I can take their place," Fan Lanying smiled and offered willingly.
Yan's face turned dark. He finally realized that the two of them both picked a strong girl to be their wife. Now that Fan Lanying already had numerous experiences on the battlefield, Yan no longer has any advantages against her. It will still take some time for her to defeat him, but he knew that the time was near. In the end, he was unable to escape the fate of getting beaten up.
He truly wondered, couldn't they pick a normal girl for a wife?
Ming Hui pulled Fan Lanying to his embrace, "Now that Jun Hua is settling down, when will it be your turn?"
Fan Lanying thought about it before answering, "After I reach the rank of general, I will settle down."
"…" and how many years from now would it be?
Seeing Ming Hui's dark face, Yan almost cannot hold himself not to laugh. He stifled his laugh as he walked away in fear that he would laugh in front of Ming Hui and possibly suffered from the latter's needles.
Ming Hui caressed the girl's hair as he sighed. He wanted to have children too…
