As he said this, he bent down and tried to carry Zhao Luoning away. Naturally, Zhao Luoning quickly refused.
"What's going on? Tell me what happened first!"
"I just heard from an old maid in the mansion that pregnant women shouldn't eat duck meat. I rushed over here but couldn't stop you in time." Ji Shisu's voice was full of guilt. He held Zhao Luoning's hand anxiously and kept apologizing. "I'm sorry, Ning'er. It must be my fault that made you feel uncomfortable. Come on, I'll take you to see a doctor."
"There's no need to see a doctor. I'm fine."
"You've vomited like this and you still say you're fine? It must be because you ate the duck meat!"
Ji Shisu hammered his head in懊恼. "It's all my fault. I should have asked clearly."
Ji Shisu's reaction made it seem as if duck meat was some kind of deadly poison.
Zhao Luoning advised, "Not to mention that I've already asked Dr. Xu about food taboos. I've been vomiting for days. It can't be just because I ate the duck today."
Zhao Luoyu, who had been through pregnancy, also advised, "Yes, morning sickness is very normal. You don't need to worry so much."
Unexpectedly, Ji Shisu became even more worried after hearing this.
"For days?" Ji Shisu held Zhao Luoning's hand and gently stroked it lovingly. "Ning'er, you've suffered."
Zhao Luoning still remembered that she was supposed to be angry. She originally wanted to pull her hand back, but when she looked down, she saw that Ji Shisu's hand was covered in scars.
Zhao Luoning picked up Ji Shisu's hand to look at it.
There was a new knife wound on the tiger's mouth, and there were countless small thorns between his fingers.
It was obvious that he had been cooking in the past few days.
Zhao Luoning immediately felt心疼.
Seeing Zhao Luoning staring at his wounds, Ji Shisu shyly hid his hand.
Zhao Luoning couldn't see his wounds anymore, but she completely softened towards Ji Shisu.
Zhao Luoyu knew about the imperial edict and came along to join in the fun. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the door, she was hit with a wave of affection.
"Ning'er, you've been hiding such a big thing from me. I'm the father of the child. How could you be so heartless as to keep me out of it?"
He had prepared a whole lot of sweet words and questions in his mind, but as soon as he opened his mouth, it was a reproach.
It couldn't be blamed on him.
Since he heard that duck meat was not suitable for pregnant women and saw her vomiting so violently, Ji Shisu had been extremely worried.
This made it difficult for him to adapt for a while, so his mouth got out of control. By the time he came to his senses, the pent - up frustration in his heart for days had already been spoken.
As the saying goes, words spoken are like water spilled. It's not easy to take them back.
He could only brace himself and wait for her answer.
Zhao Luoning just gave Jian Xue a look.
Jian Xue was smart. After being with Zhao Luoning day and night, she understood what Zhao Luoning meant. So she and Jian Wen started to drive all the irrelevant people out of the room.
The originally crowded room finally had a bit more space.
Jian Xue found two stools from somewhere and moved them over for the two of them to sit on.
After the violent vomiting just now, Zhao Luoning was completely disoriented. She had exhausted all her strength.
Now, even when lying down and speaking, her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz. One had to get very close to hear clearly.
With too many people around, there would be too much noise. So it was clearer after sending them all out.
But she was still so weak that it made people feel heartache.
"Ning'er, I know I've done wrong in the past. You can punish me however you like, but don't punish yourself. I'm not at ease with you being alone. Can I apply to stay with you?"
This cautious and humble tone was completely different from the domineering air of the romantic young general.
Zhao Luoning was both amused and annoyed by him.
"The house is too small to accommodate a big shot like you!"
"I'll just set up a hard cot outside your room. I promise I won't bother you."
Sleeping on a hard cot to keep watch is the job of a personal maid. Ji Shisu really didn't care about anything anymore.
"It's not convenient for the eldest brother and sister - in - law to live in the same place."
"Then I'll buy the neighboring house. Knock down the wall and it'll still be one family. One sleeps here, the other sleeps there."
Zhao Luoning: "..."
He hadn't seen her for a few days, and Ji Shisu's cheeky skills had improved!
Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and said, "It's not impossible for you to move in."
Ji Shisu was right. The child in her belly had half of Ji Shisu's blood. Her quarrel with Ji Shisu was one thing, but she couldn't be so cruel as to deprive Ji Shisu of his right to be a father.
Hearing this, Ji Shisu's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.
"I agree!"
"I haven't even said what it is yet!"
"I'll agree to anything!"
Zhao Luoning: "..."
At this time, Hua Ci and Ya Rong heard that she had been vomiting violently in the back garden and rushed over to check on the situation.
Seeing that this couple was about to have a heart - to - heart talk, Zhao Luoyu didn't want all her previous efforts to go to waste.
So she got up and went out to stop them.
There were only Zhao Luoning and Ji Shisu left in the room.
Anyway, these things had to be sorted out sooner or later.
Rather than choose another day, it's better to get it over with now. It would save them both from being unhappy.
Zhao Luoning sighed, propped herself up, and stretched out her snow - white and jade - like hand from her long brocade sleeve.
Hanging on her fair wrist was the jade bracelet that represented the mistress of the Ji family.
When the bracelet was on her hand, it seemed to gain luster from her jade - like skin. Only when worn on her wrist did it look crystal - clear.
Just as it was easy for Mrs. Ji to put the bracelet on her wrist back then, it was also very easy for Zhao Luoning to take it off.
"This bracelet was always too big for me. No matter how hard I try, something that doesn't suit me will never be suitable. Since Qingyun's accident that day, this matter has been weighing on my mind. It's good to talk about it today. There has to be an end sooner or later."
Ji Shisu understood what Zhao Luoning meant.
As he had said before, he took the bracelet without hesitation.
At this time, Zhao Luoning didn't know that Ji Shisu had already broken with his family for her sake.
Only a few of Ji Shisu's good brothers knew that there had been earth - shattering changes in the Ji Mansion. But they only knew that Ji Shisu was no longer the head of the Ji family. They didn't know the specific details.
This was a challenge from Zhao Luoning to Ji Shisu.
"Ji Shisu, I will never go back to the Ji family."
Taking off the jade bracelet of the mistress of the family was a very obvious sign.
This was also a question that Zhao Luoning had always wanted to ask Ji Shisu.
This time, there was no more being caught in the middle or considering others' feelings. Zhao Luoning wouldn't think from others' perspectives like before, afraid of embarrassing others.
Living for herself would start with making love independent.
Zhao Luoning didn't know that this choice was no difficulty for Ji Shisu at all.
Ji Shisu readily agreed, "I'll go and return the bracelet for you. You don't need to go back to the Ji Mansion, and I won't either."
"What?!"
Ji Shisu said word by word, "Ning'er, you don't need to worry about this. I've already made up my mind to be with you for the rest of my life."
