CHAPTER 138: CHAPTER 138: FETAL DREAM (3)

Nephew? Lady’s expression changed slightly, and Tong Xiyan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Sixth Sister really made a cloak for Big Brother-in-law, she was afraid her mother might get angry because of this.

Fortunately, it was just a dream, then she was at ease!

Lady leaned forward slightly and asked, "Did you dream that your Big Sister brought a nephew back?"

Xiqiu nodded seriously, her face full of sighs, "Yes! It felt so real, after waking up I thought it was true. I remember everything clearly from the dream, even the nephew’s laughter and the words he said to me lingered in my ears. Just thinking about it makes me feel tender, although it’s a dream, since I promised the nephew to make him a cloak, I can’t break my word." After saying that, she paused and hid her sleeve, "But I’m afraid of being laughed at by others, so I secretly cut the fabric and made it."

"Good! Good!" Hearing Xiqiu’s affirmation, Lady’s face instantly bloomed with a smile, and her eyes were filled with undisguised joy, "Amitabha Buddha! Amitabha Buddha." Lady bowed repeatedly towards the West, "This must be a pregnancy dream, people say pregnancy dreams are accurate, could it be that my son will really have offspring?" She thought for a moment and suddenly stopped, worriedly looking at Nanny Fang, "But why did Sixth Girl have this dream?"

Nanny Fang also had a full face of joy, her voice unconsciously raised a notch, "Sixth Miss and Big Miss are sisters, family should be inseparable, if she had this pregnancy dream and truly remembers it’s Big Miss’s, it must be real!"

Lady relaxed and held Nanny Fang’s hand, saying, "Could it be that Xihua has not returned for days because she is pregnant?" Nanny Fang thought it seemed possible and nodded quickly, then Lady couldn’t help but say happily, "You must go personally, go see Xihua and don’t alarm her, advise her to find a Mrs. for a checkup!"

"I will go at once!" Nanny Fang immediately stood up with a smile, ignored everything else, lifted the curtain and headed out.

Here, Tong Xiyan still seemed puzzled, she pulled Xiqiu aside and quietly asked, "Did you really dream of a nephew? And make a cloak?"

Xiqiu nodded seriously, "Yes."

Tong Xiyu’s body trembled slightly, she hung her head as if struggling with something, strongly suppressing her emotions. Lady could not care about Tong Xiyu at this moment, once Nanny Fang left, her emotions slowly settled down, and she looked at Xiqiu asking, "Where is that cloak? Bring it for me to see."

For such matters, Tong Xiyan was half-believing, she gazed worriedly at Xiqiu, but thought of how she never speaks carelessly, and couldn’t help but worry for her...

Then Xiqiu nodded, "Yes!" and stood up, walked out the door, saying to Sixing, who was waiting outside, "Go fetch the red cloth bundle I left by the bedside."

Sixing froze for a moment, she didn’t see any red cloth bundle while tidying up Miss’s bed this morning. Although puzzled, noticing Xiqiu’s serious expression, she nodded in response, "Yes!"

Returning to the room, Lady asked about the details of the dream, "Did you see the child clearly, does he look like your Big Sister?"

Xiqiu frowned, thought thoughtfully for a moment, shook her head and said, "Doesn’t look like Big Sister, nor Big Brother-in-law... However, he does resemble Big Brother a bit, except his temperament isn’t similar, otherwise he’d really be like a mold taken from the same cast."

"Nephew resembling an uncle!" Lady’s eyes overflowed with joy, she sighed deeply, "These years, whether your sister or our family, it’s the first time having such a dream for her. These past days, I’ve also been unsettled, but after hearing you, my heart unexpectedly settled down..." Tong Xihua’s medicine has stopped, if she’s pregnant during these days, the timing matches!

Although Tong Xiyan didn’t believe it, she hoped Tong Xihua could be pregnant, helping Mrs. Xiao to continue the lineage, and it would also strengthen her feelings with Big Brother-in-law.

If this dream comes true, it would truly be a grand event for both houses.

In no time, Sixing returned, indeed holding a bundle in her arms. Xiqiu took it and handed it to Lady somewhat shyly, "Mother, take a look, afraid Big Sister won’t like it."

Lady accepted the bundle, her eyes fixed on it, saying, "What doesn’t like or not, it’s your heartfelt intention, moreover, if it brings fortune, if your Big Sister truly conceives, you will have achieved great merit." She said, then personally opened the bundle, revealing the bright red Shu brocade cloak inside.

Sure enough, it was Sixth Girl’s stitching, Lady’s last bit of doubt finally dissipated.

Her heart was full of joy as she laid open the cloak, touching the several cute little puppies on it, eyes showing a hint of water sparkles. Tong Xiyan also came over, looking left and right, laughing, "These puppies are really cute, when worn by Big Nephew will surely be adorable."

Even she believed in Xiqiu’s words, if she hadn’t really dreamed it, how could there be this cloak she made by hand!

Tong Xiyu was stunned beyond belief, forced a smile, and sighed, "Truly hope Sixth Sister’s dream can come true."

Lady folded the cloak tenderly, wrapped it with the red cloth, "Once your Big Sister has news, send this cloak over, hanging it in the room might bring fortune!"

Xiqiu smiled slightly, calmly standing beside Tong Xiyan.

Lady gave the cloak to Daihe to keep it safely, then instructed, "Go to the study to see if First Master has returned, if he has, say I have something to discuss with him, have him return once."

Such impatience indeed!

Xiqiu could only sigh, it seemed for Lady, Tong Xihua’s long-term infertility was her greatest worry.

Daihe hurriedly left, then Lady spoke to Tong Xiyan and Xiqiu and the others, "Today we’re happy, once your Big Brother finishes his school session, stay here for lunch." She looked at Xiqiu, her expression gentle as if deliberately leaving her aside just now, the angry look, the estrangement and coldness in recent days was merely Xiqiu overthinking...

Xiqiu together with Tong Xiyu stood up and kneeled to express thanks.

First Master wasn’t at home, however, Tong Shen Zhi returned quite early, accompanied by Xu Tianqing and Tong Minzhi, and even Tong Quanzhi, who hadn’t been seen for a long time, came to the main room. Lady instructed the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes, the children accompanied Lady for the meal and then moved to the adjacent room to sit on the eight-step bed and chat.

Compared to chatting with Tong Shen Zhi and receiving no response, Lady preferred speaking with Xu Tianqing, she laughed and said, "Don’t always stuff yourself with books at home, go out and walk around too, there’s still some time until the autumn examination, a balance of work and rest is best."

Xu Tianqing smiled warmly, his voice still clear and fresh, "Not stuffing myself, I don’t know many people in the Capital, Young Master Jiang went to Fujian, the young masters of the same exam class also have to study, when I go out, I’m just disturbing them. It’s better to stay at the house and read, lately I’ve been fishing in the river with Third Brother, compared to going out, there’s a different charm at home."

Lady raised her eyebrow slightly, "Oh? Did you catch any fish?" Without waiting for Xu Tianqing’s reply, Tong Quanzhi said in a rough voice, "The fish in the river have become quite picky, we fished all afternoon, finally I got so frustrated I went into the river to grab one, otherwise we would have returned empty-handed!" He was so earnest, his clumsy manner made everyone in the room laugh.
