Chapter 554 He was given an important position precisely because of his pregnancy.
When Dong'er brought the medicine in, he saw Du Mingxian sitting in a chair but didn't say anything. He just took the medicine over and said, "You feed her. Notify us as soon as she wakes up."
"it is good."
After Dong'er left, Du Mingxian touched the bowl; the temperature was just right. She took the bowl and stepped forward, saying, "Drink up."
Mo Zheng opened his eyes, sat up halfway, took the bowl, and drank the medicine in two or three gulps.
Du Mingxian picked up the empty bowl and went back to her seat to rest.
As evening approached, Miss Tian came over again and immediately asked, "How is he? Has he woken up?"
"Miss, not yet."
"The doctor said I would wake up this afternoon, but I haven't woken up yet."
Du Mingxian didn't answer. She didn't trust anyone right now. Who knew if Miss Tian and Mo were setting a trap for her?
"Go back to your room now, and I'll come back to take care of you tomorrow."
"Yes." Du Mingxian immediately got up and left. Before leaving, she made a special effort to sense that the two experts guarding the courtyard gate were still there, and she had no way or opportunity to sneak out.
That night, she thought about it again and again in her space. Regardless of whether Mo was in cahoots with Miss Tian, she had to use Mo to go out, at least to put the people outside at ease.
I wonder if the news from Hongguo has gotten out yet.
It was another morning when Du Mingxian arrived at the front yard. Miss Tian was in an exceptionally good mood and looked at Du Mingxian with a warning in her eyes, "Take good care of Mo, and I will reward you handsomely later."
"Yes."
When Du Mingxian entered Mo's room, she saw that he was already sitting at the table. She didn't dare to say anything and quietly stood to the side.
Soon, Miss Tian walked in, followed by many maids, each carrying a tray. Soon, the table was filled with all kinds of delicacies.
"You're still not fully recovered, so I didn't dare ask the kitchen to make too much today. It's all light food that will help you recover. If there's anything you particularly like, just tell me, and I'll have the kitchen prepare it for you every day."
Du Mingxian watched from the side and saw that Miss Tian really liked Mo. It didn't seem like she was pretending. Moreover, her expression and actions when she spoke were full of affection.
"Okay." He silently agreed, but didn't even glance at Miss Tian.
Miss Tian wasn't angry at all; she even added, "Then you eat well, I'll go first."
"good."
Miss Tian led her entourage out, and Mo turned to Du Mingxian, who was standing to the side as a background figure, and said, "Sit down and eat with us."
"You are Miss's guest, her most important person. I am merely Miss's maid, and cannot sit and eat with you."
"There are no outsiders here."
Du Mingxian shook her head again, "Rules are rules. If I sit down and eat with them, and the young lady finds out, I'm afraid I won't be satisfied even if she beats me to death."
"I will protect you."
“Young Master Mo, you only have the right to say what you want because Miss likes you now. If you protect me, I might die even faster.”
Mo shook his head. "I know Tian Rong. As long as I'm willing to protect you, she won't hurt you."
"She might not do it to your face, but what about behind your back? Young Master Mo should know that Miss Tian likes you very much."
Mo clenched his fist. "Of course I know."
“I don’t believe you didn’t see the look in Miss Tian’s eyes just now. She wanted to stay and have dinner with you, but she left before you could say anything.” Du Mingxian was speechless. “It’s not because she’s afraid of you, but because she loves you. Even though you’re on her turf, she still gives way to you in every way, which shows that you hold a very important place in her heart.”
"I can't afford her love."
Du Mingxian neither spoke nor sat down, but remained standing.
He glanced at her large belly, sighed softly, and started eating. He didn't touch some of the food. After finishing his meal, he stood up and said, "Let's clean up."
"Yes."
Du Mingxian wouldn't touch so many things herself. She pushed open the door, went out, and called over a few maids to clean the table immediately.
Du Mingxian went to eat with a group of maids. Some of the food that was taken out of Mo's room was edible, so they ran over to grab it. Others were not and went to get their own food.
Du Mingxian didn't want to eat either, so she went to get food with everyone else.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
As soon as Du Mingxian appeared, rumors started circulating outside.
"Tell me, with her big belly, what ability does she have to get the young lady to transfer her to her side and now even send her to take care of Young Master Ji? She's really being pampered."
"What do you know? She must have used some tricks to get herself sent to serve Young Master Mo. Young Master Mo is so favored by the young lady, what makes a pregnant woman like her special?"
"That's right. Being by Young Master Mo's side is the same as being by Young Miss's side. We servants don't even have such a good opportunity. What makes her so special?"
Every single sarcastic remark reached Du Mingxian's ears, but she didn't respond to any of them. After quietly finishing her meal, she went to find Miss Tian.
When Miss Tian saw her coming, she was surprised. "Is something the matter? Didn't I tell you to serve Mo?"
"Young Miss, may we have someone else serve Young Master Mo?"
"What's wrong? Are you not satisfied with my arrangements?" Miss Tian frowned, her face full of displeasure.
Du Mingxian shook her head. "It's not that I'm not satisfied, it's that the others in the courtyard are not satisfied. I went to eat just now, and they said that I used some tricks to get Miss to arrange for me to take care of Young Master Mo. Miss, I'm a pregnant woman, and I still care a lot about my reputation."
"Nonsense! What can a pregnant woman like you do? Don't worry, I'll have someone investigate and make sure those gossipy people are punished."
Du Mingxian was also quite curious, so she asked directly, "Miss, I have a question. There are so many maids in the manor, many of whom are better at serving than I am. Why do you insist on making me, a pregnant woman, serve them?"
"It's because you're pregnant that we're making you serve them."
Du Mingxian didn't understand.
“He is the man I love, but there are always those maids in the courtyard who have other ideas. I would be even more worried if I let them serve him. You are different from them. You have a family and you are pregnant. Moreover, you and your husband have a good relationship. At least I don’t have to worry that he will fall in love with you.”
You really think a lot.
"I will certainly follow the young lady's instructions."
"That's good. Just take good care of Mo. From now on, I'll have someone deliver your food to your room so you don't have to squeeze in with them. I'll deal with the servants who were gossiping today, so you don't have to worry."
"Yes, Miss."
Du Mingxian turned around and left. Miss Tian directly called Dong'er, "Go and investigate who is gossiping today. Drag everyone out and give them thirty lashes. We've already given everyone in the courtyard a gag order. They're not allowed to discuss Mo's matter. But instead, they're not only gossiping, they're also pointing fingers at others."
