Shen Yi Di Nu Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife

326-350

The Reaper Has Come

That night, Feng Jin Yuan remained in Yu Lan courtyard.

When news of this made its way to Tian Xiang courtyard, Kang Yi was waiting expectantly for Feng Jin Yuan to return to drink the nuptial cup of wine. She had been starving for the entire day and had not yet eaten anything. The food on the table had been heated then reheated again. In the end, it only came back with news of Feng Jin Yuan remaining in Yu Lan courtyard.

The servant Xia Chan said to her: "I heard that concubine mother Han's belly suddenly began hurting, and master was invited over. Perhaps he was truly unable to leave that side, thus master..."

"He should." Kang Yi had an understanding and generous expression: "Of all grand things, one's son is always the most important. Even if husband returned to this side tonight, as long as something happened in Yu Lan courtyard, I would have sent him to take a look." While saying this, she changed out of her wedding dress and into her normal clothes. She then hurriedly told the servants to prepare some tonics and said to Xia Chan: "Let us also go and take a look. Younger sister Han has a weak body, so it would be best if nothing happened."

Xia Chan did not say anything. Kang Yi was now the head wife, so she naturally had this right. Moreover, the matriarch also ordered Xia Chan to remain at Kang Yi's side to observe her daily actions. Right now, she was doing very well.

The tonics in Tian Xiang courtyard were prepared very quickly, and Kang Yi did not bring along many people. She only brought Xia Chan and two other servants that had come from Qian Zhou. The four then hurried over to Han shi's side.

Because it had snowed during the day, the roads were very slippery. When they finally arrived at Yu Lan courtyard with great difficulty, they found that the entire courtyard had already gone dark. Not a single light was lit.

A servant that was keeping watch saw them and quickly saluted. Kang Yi was puzzled and asked: "Wasn't it said that concubine mother Han was not feeling well? I came over to take a look." With her marrying into the Feng family, her not referring to herself as "This one" was a form a respect.

The servant that was keeping watch was a little troubled upon hearing this. After pondering a little, she finally responded: "Responding to madam, concubine mother is already feeling a little better, but her mood is unstable. Master is sleeping with her to keep her company. Going to disrupt them now... I fear would be improper."

Kang Yi was stunned. He had gone to sleep. This was truly the greatest mockery possible. With a new wife entering the manor, the groom chose to sleep in a concubine's room. What sort of situation was this? She had originally wanted to come over and take a look before bringing Feng Jin Yuan back, but now that he had gone to sleep, if she went in to wake him up, that would be her mistake. Once Han shi was given a shock, any reaction that her belly had would be a crime too heavy for her to bear!

Kang Yi pondered for a while then very quickly returned to her normal self: "It can't be helped. I brought some tonics over. Just keep them for now. Remember to tell husband tomorrow morning that I came to visit."

"Ok!" The servant quickly received the tonic and repeatedly thanked Kang Yi. Only after sending Kang Yi off did the servant let out a sigh of relief. What sort of situation was this? Fortunately, the new madam did not get angry, otherwise, perhaps there would be no peace this night.

On the day of the wedding, Kang Yi remained in an empty room alone; however, she did not appear to have any complaints. Instead, she said to Xia Chan: "Don't tell mother about this matter to keep her from feeling disgusted."

At dawn the next morning, Feng Jin Yuan went directly from Tian Xiang courtyard to court. The Emperor had clearly given him five days of wedding leave; however, he did not take a single day off.
