Not long after Jin Daxue left, Nan Chuyi visited and greeted Old Mrs. Qin. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Li Qiao, "I have something to ask you, let's talk inside the house."
Once inside, Nan Chuyi said, "What's going on with you? Do you feel unwell?" While speaking, he took Li Qiao's pulse. A moment later, his brows lifted slightly: "You're pregnant. When was your last period?"
Li Qiao almost choked, as she had suspected the same, but to think it was actually true. "It was at the beginning of August, around the third, what should I do now?!"
Nan Chuyi replied, "More than a month then. The due date is next May—it won't be too hot or too cold then, perfect for recovery after childbirth. Just have it, you high-educated folks can apply for a second child, can't you?"
Her mother-in-law often used this as an excuse to urge her to have another child to continue the Xue family lineage.
