It was very late when Qiao Jinniang went back to the Duke Mansion.
Seeing her, Hongling immediately said,
"Congratulations, Miss. The imperial physician came to examine Madam today only to find that she was pregnant! But she has been pregnant for only about a month."
It was not easy for the doctor to find it out because the Duchess had only been pregnant for a month.
Qiao Jinniang hurriedly went to the main courtyard. Old Madam Qiao was telling the Duchess to take a good rest, fearing what happened to the Duchess recently would affect this child.
The Duchess said, "Mother, I'm pregnant, so I'm afraid I won't have the time and energy to manage the affairs of the Duke Mansion. I want to hand over the management power to Ruoyi so that she can learn how to manage a big family."
Old Madam Qiao said, "Ruoyi is not suitable. Let Jinniang do it. After all, she will marry into the East Palace soon."
