The Overlord of the Red Mansion

Chapter 16 Diagnosis
As soon as Wang Xifeng walked out of the Ningguo Mansion, she said coldly, "Please ask the imperial physician to come to me!"

The Duke's Mansion was naturally qualified to invite the imperial physician, and soon the imperial physician bowed and said, "Congratulations, Second Madam!"

Wang Xifeng was delighted, but at the same time she couldn't help showing a look of sadness.

"But you're pregnant?"

"Congratulations, Second Madam! Exactly!"

The imperial physician was waiting to receive his reward when he suddenly heard something that made him laugh.

"Does the imperial physician know whether the child is a boy or a girl?" Wang Xifeng looked at the imperial physician, wanting to hear an answer different from Jia Rong's.

The doctor said sternly, "No."

He wanted to laugh at this kind of question, and even more wanted to curse.

Which imperial physician dares to determine whether the concubine or queen is carrying a boy or a girl?

The imperial physician even said directly: "If you speak carelessly about this kind of thing, you may lose your life."

Wang Xifeng was also a smart person, so she quickly asked someone to give him some money and send him away.

Afterwards, two more imperial physicians were invited over, and they also reported positive pulses.

There is an unspoken rule among the imperial physicians that they usually agree with their colleagues and do not make random comments, especially when it comes to the illness of the emperor and others, the main thing is to be stable.

The mortality rate of princes in ancient times was extremely high.

Two imperial physicians have already said it is a happy pulse, and no matter how many more imperial physicians we invite, they will not come to a second conclusion.

Fortunately, this time it was indeed a pregnancy pulse. Not long after, Wang Xifeng herself began to feel dizzy and nauseous due to pregnancy.

Wang Xifeng dared not tell anyone about her first daughter.

Several wives in the mansion gave birth to sons as their firstborn.

This is true for Lady Jia, Lady Wang, and Li Wan.

It was already dark at this time. Before eating, Jia's grandmother glanced at her daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law standing around her.

"Why don't you see Feng girl? She's always busy running around, and she's indispensable everywhere. But is there something that delayed her?"

Grandmother Jia was very satisfied with Wang Xifeng. This granddaughter-in-law was not only the eldest daughter of a large family, but also had a respectable status and was a good housekeeper. She was unlike her two daughters-in-law who only knew how to make her angry.

Mrs. Wang said, "I don't know what's going on. I haven't seen anyone this afternoon. I've asked someone to go ask around."

Li Wan said, "Maybe she went to see Grandma Rong."

At this time, the little girl Jia Xichun looked up and said, "Why don't you ask me to go with you?"

Li Wan smiled and said, "If you want to go, ask Ruhua to take you there, or you can ask me to accompany you. Uncle Rong is busy studying and making money to save up your dowry, and Madam Rong is pregnant and it's not convenient for her to move around. Besides, didn't you just see her this afternoon?"

Because Jia Xichun had Jia Rong's support, she lived a good life in the Rongguo Mansion. Several maids also always received extra subsidies, so she was very popular in the Rongguo Mansion.

At this time, a maid came quickly outside. It was Jin Chuan, the maid in Mrs. Wang's room.

Jin Chuan had a happy look on her face. After she came in, she greeted them happily and said, "Old Madam, First Madam, Second Madam, after Second Madam Lian came back today, she invited three imperial doctors in a row, and they all said that she is pregnant. She is now asking the imperial doctors about something. They were still busy when I went there, so I hurried back to announce the good news!"

The old lady and Mrs. Xing both looked delighted, and even Mrs. Wang smiled.

Wang Xifeng is a relative of Lady Wang, but her husband Jia Lian's parents are Jia She and Lady Xing from the first wife's house. Now she has moved from her parents' side to Jia Zheng and Lady Wang's side, the second wife's housekeeper, and her status is sandwiched between the two ladies.

No matter what, it will be good for everyone if Wang Xifeng has a happy event.

If there is anyone who is not good for you, it must be the pretty widow Li Wan.

After Jia Zhu died, she retreated to the second line and became a good person with her son Jia Lan.

Li Wan doesn't offend anyone, but she also doesn't help anyone. She only cares about her own son.

Jia She and Jia Zheng are from the eldest son and the second son, while Jia Zheng's son Jia Zhu is not from the eldest son. So after Jia Zhu's death, Jia Lan, the eldest grandson of the second son, has little significance in the Jia family. He will not be able to inherit the title or the family property in the future and is completely marginalized.

In the future, it will be either Jia Lian or Jia Baoyu who will take over Rongguo Mansion. It will never be the turn of the younger generation like Jia Lan.

Jia Baoyu was only relying on the old lady's favor. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knew that the right of inheritance would only belong to Jia Lian.

Now that Jia Lian has a child, his position as heir is more secure, and Wang Xifeng has long since snatched the position and power of a good granddaughter-in-law from Li Wan.

Li Wan smiled but said nothing. She wished that Wang Xifeng would give birth to only daughters and that Jia Baoyu would never marry, so that her son could inherit the title.

The expression on her face was no different from that of the others, except that she wasn't that happy on the inside.

The old lady said happily: "I thought so. Today is full of happy things!"

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Old lady, please eat first. After we finish eating, we will go to that room and sit and take a look. I guess she is not in the mood to eat now. I will ask the kitchen to make some food and send it to her later." The old lady smiled and said, "Okay, tell her what she should pay attention to."

"Yes."

Everyone started to eat, and after they finished their meal, the whole family went to join in the fun, including Li Wan.

Everyone went into Wang Xifeng's room and chatted and laughed. The whole room was lively and bustling, except for Wang Xifeng, who seemed unable to laugh.

Feng Lazi, who is usually smart, bold and straightforward, acted a little strange, but the others just thought that she was confused after finding out she was pregnant today and didn't think much about it.

Jia Lian quickly returned to the room and looked at his pregnant wife with a happy face.

"I was the last one to know about your pregnancy. If I had known, I wouldn't have gone out today."

Jia Lian sat on the edge of the bed, watching Wang Xifeng and Ping'er chatting and laughing.

Wang Xifeng was having dinner when she casually said, "We don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet. What if it's a girl?"

Jia Lian quickly said, "Then have another child. You and I are both young, so we can just have more children."

Wang Xifeng was unable to figure out what was going on just now, but now she suddenly understood the matter as if the clouds had cleared and the sun had come out.

"That's true." Wang Xifeng smiled and glanced at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian walked over happily, put his hands on Wang Xifeng's shoulders and prepared to be intimate.

Wang Xifeng said, "Get out of here. I haven't eaten since noon. I'm starving. I just ate a few bites and you realized I was back."

It was getting dark outside, and Jia Lian walked away and sat down embarrassedly.

"It's my fault. I will come back earlier next time."

Wang Xifeng felt sweet in her heart and said, "I was thinking of asking you to go see Master Rong to see if there was something wrong with your body that prevents you from having children. Now it seems that I was just wishful thinking."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "What problem can I have?"

He was indeed a little concerned before, but now that his wife is pregnant, it not only proves that there is nothing wrong with his wife, but also proves that there is nothing wrong with him. Jia Lian is naturally happy.

Wang Xifeng was eating and no longer cared about the baby in her belly.

It would be best if I could give birth to a son, but even if it's a daughter, I can just have another one next year. Then I will definitely go to the Ningguo Mansion to touch their palms and backs, and try to give birth to a son.

Jia Lian looked at the beautiful and motionless Wang Xifeng, and then at the pretty maid standing next to her.

"Sister Feng." Jia Lian lowered his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Now that you are pregnant, it is not convenient for you to have sex with me, Ping'er..."

Ping'er was both Wang Xifeng's dowry maid and her concubine, so she should naturally be Jia Lian's person.

Wang Xifeng frowned and looked at Jia Lian with unhappiness.

Jia Lian quickly realized that this matter could not be accomplished, and hurriedly said, "Ping'er should take better care of you, or find a few more maids to serve you?"

Taking a concubine as soon as the wife becomes pregnant may happen in the Ningguo Mansion next door, but it is impossible for Wang Xifeng in the Rongguo Mansion.

Wang Xifeng was very clear that she was most likely to be reborn as a girl. If Ping'er gave birth to a boy, how would she face it?
Wang Xifeng, who has a strong possessiveness, will absolutely not allow anyone to threaten her ruling position at this time.

"You are such a heartless person, how could I not know what's on your mind? If you can be a little more capable, I will not stop you from taking a concubine, but don't you see what kind of person you are now? You just mess around all day long! Not doing your job properly!"

"When the child is born..."

Wang Xifeng didn't want to bring this up, so she said, "Forget it! I've told you the truth. Don't think about Ping'er's affairs. Rong'er seems to be interested in Ping'er. It will be inconvenient for me to go to Ningguo Mansion to do things in the future, so I'll let Ping'er go there to run errands."

Jia Lian showed an expression of surprise, and Ping'er was also very surprised.

As Wang Xifeng's confidant, he didn't know what Wang Xifeng and Jia Rong said in the room today.

But Ping'er could see that Wang Xifeng's face was full of worry after she came out, and when she came back, she asked the imperial physician to confirm her pregnancy.

I thought that was it, but after hearing what Wang Xifeng said, I suddenly realized that Mr. Rong might have said something about her.

Ping Er said quickly, "I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay and serve Grandma!"

Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes at the girl and said, "Even if you want to go now, I won't let you go. Wait until I give birth to a son and then I'll let you live in Ningguo Mansion."

Ping'er then said happily: "Thank you, grandma!"

Seeing this, Jia Lian was too embarrassed to talk about Ping'er, but he also started looking for other women, ready to show his prowess.

How could Wang Xifeng not know what her husband was thinking, but she sneered in her heart and decided to keep a close eye on him in the future!
After giving birth to a daughter, give birth to a son. After giving birth to a son, give birth to a son again. After giving birth to a son, give birth to another son!
She would rather give Ping'er to someone else than let her own man have her.
