Feng Jin placed her fingers on Lin Yuwei's fair wrist, her expression growing solemn.
This caused Lin Yuwei to feel a pang of worry, and she urgently inquired, "Sister Feng Jin, is there something wrong with the baby?"
Seeing Sister Feng Jin's heavy expression made her feel deeply uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.
Feng Jin didn't answer Lin Yuwei's question immediately, but continued to feel her pulse. After a pause, she stopped.
"The fetus is fine. It's just that the baby in your womb is a bit large."
Indeed, it was a bit larger than babies of the same gestation. However, it wasn't a major issue. With about four months left until delivery, eating less and exercising more would suffice.
"Large?"
Lin Yuwei frowned and asked doubtfully. Why was the baby large? She couldn't help but worry about how to manage this situation.
"After you finish eating, you should go for a walk and exercise. Also, eat more vegetables and fruits. As for things like pasta, eat less."
It was estimated that Lin Yuwei's reduced activity level, sitting down to rest immediately after meals, had caused the fetus to be too large.
"But the imperial physician diagnosed me before, saying the pregnancy was unstable and I needed to rest in bed and avoid frequent activity."
"That was before. How many months are you now? The baby has long since settled. You need to be more active now, so that you can suffer less during childbirth."
Lin Yuwei had always followed Feng Jin's advice and did not object this time, nodding in agreement.
She would walk more and exercise, anyway, she was always confined to this room and felt stifled. Now that she had a reason to go out, she was very happy.
Lin Yuwei continued to chat with Feng Jin for quite some time, but eventually, she couldn't stay awake and fell into a deep sleep on the bed.
When the person was sleeping soundly and her breathing became even, Feng Jin slowly stood up, pushed open the door, and walked out.
She went directly to Chu Chenyi's study. The guard outside saw Feng Jin and hurried forward.
"Where is your lord?" Feng Jin asked directly. She had come here to have a good talk with Chu Chenyi.
"My lady, the lord is in the study. It is already late. Why don't my lady come to see the lord tomorrow morning?"
It was late now, and if Madam Ling went in to see the lord at this time, it would not be good if it got out.
Unexpectedly, Feng Jin never cared about such things. She had a proper matter to discuss with Chu Chenyi. If she waited until tomorrow morning, it would be too late.
"No need, I have an important matter to discuss with your lord."
After speaking, Feng Jin stepped past the guard and walked in, her expression extremely calm, without any trace of awkwardness.
She knocked twice on the door and pushed it open, her gaze locking onto Chu Chenyi, who was still sitting at his desk, busy with his work. "Your Highness Jing, you are truly diligent to still be working at this hour."
Feng Jin's tone was slightly sarcastic. She sat down on her own, picked up the tea beside her, and took a sip. She then put down the teacup with a hint of disdain. The tea was cold, and the maids in the manor were truly not diligent enough to change it with fresh tea.
Moreover, the tea tasted sour and astringent, making it difficult to swallow, and not at all comparable to the tea she drank at Lin Yuwei's place.
The difference between the two spouses was too great, and Chu Chenyi was simply too stingy.
"This tea of yours is really terrible," Feng Jin said her dislike without reservation.
Chu Chenyi put down the memorial in his hand and looked up at Feng Jin, saying irritably, "If you don't like it, then don't drink it."
'Bang!' Feng Jin placed the teacup heavily on the desk, showing her extreme displeasure.
Chu Chenyi didn't even know how to speak now. She instantly regretted her previous leniency towards Chu Chenyi. She should have forced him to repay the money quickly, even if it meant selling his house.
"If you continue to have this attitude, then just repay the money quickly. There's nothing more for us to discuss!"
Feng Jin's words immediately put Chu Chenyi in a tight spot. Who could blame him, as he truly had no money to repay Feng Jin?
Having a handle on him, he could only resign himself to fate. Chu Chenyi finally chose to yield. "I lost control just now. What are you here for at this hour?"
Coming so late at night, there must be something. Chu Chenyi was curious about why Feng Jin was here.
"I just felt Lin Yuwei's pulse. The baby in her womb is a bit too large. You should stop confining her to the manor and let her go out more for walks and to relax. This way, it will be easier for her to give birth later."
Lin Yuwei was usually the most impatient of being confined indoors. It was obvious that Chu Chenyi had forcibly kept her in the manor and not allowed her to go out.
She couldn't stand seeing Lin Yuwei continue to be depressed, so she kindly reminded him.
Chu Chenyi's expression changed slightly. He hadn't considered this matter. It was just that he was worried Lin Yuwei might be careless and hurt herself when going out, so he kept her in the manor. It had indeed been a long time since he had let her out.
Otherwise, he could find an opportunity to take Lin Yuwei out for a walk and relax.
"I have noted this matter. I will not restrict her from leaving the manor anymore."
However, it would still be under his permission and accompanied by him that Lin Yuwei could go out.
Seeing Chu Chenyi agree, she had nothing more to worry about. "Marital matters require communication and discussion. You must maintain an equal footing for your lives to be smooth. You should reduce your chauvinistic temper from now on, or your wife will eventually be driven away by you."
She couldn't interfere too much in their marital affairs, so she could only offer a few reminders. As for what Chu Chenyi would do later, that was his own business.
If he overdid it and his wife ran away, he would regret it and could only cry.
Chu Chenyi's gaze darkened, and he fell into deep thought. To outsiders, was he really that bad to Lin Yuwei?
Even Feng Jin said so, so should he truly change his attitude from now on?
