With this reminder, Tong Ling came back to her senses. They were here to send a congratulatory gift to Old Madam Tong.
Tong Ling took out a delicate box from her bag. “Grandma, this is the jade pendant I prepared for you.”
Inside the box was a jade pendant with fish and flower patterns.
Su Ning also took out the bracelet she had bought. “My parents have military matters to attend to and can’t come over today. I’m here to give you a congratulatory gift on their behalf.”
As soon as the box was opened, Tong Pei and the old lady frowned.
Old Madam Tong was an expert in jade and could tell that this Southern Red Agate was most likely an imitation.
However, she did not know if Su Ning had been deceived or if she had deliberately bought such a fake bracelet.
“Thank you, Su Ning. Please send my regards to your parents.” Old Madam Tong smiled subtly.
Su Ning’s gaze was still on Guo Miao. This girl was really amazing. Not only was she familiar with Tong Pei, but Old Madam Tong also liked her so much.
She didn’t notice Old Madam Tong’s eyes sizing her up at all.
Guo Miao, who had been standing at the side, could tell that this bracelet was the fake one she had seen in the shop, but she did not say it out loud.
There might be some undercurrents in the interactions between these rich families, but she did not care about all that.
“Since the exchange of gifts has been done, Tong Pei, you should bring Miss Guo to see Tong Xin. Tong Xin will also want to see Miss Guo,” Old Madam Tong said.
“Is Sister Tong Xin sick? Why didn’t she come out? I want to see her too,” Su Ning said with a smile.
For some reason, she felt that she should follow Guo Miao and Tong Pei.
“Miss Su, you should stay here with Tong Ling to accompany Grandma. Grandma has always said that she misses you,” Tong Pei refused without leaving a hint.
Su Ning’s smile froze on her face. Why was Tong Pei protecting Guo Miao?
“Yeah, Ningning, you should have a good chat with your great-grandmother.” Su Ning watched as Tong Pei and Guo Miao walked into the long corridor behind the living room. There was a smile on her face, but her heart felt as if it was on fire.
Guo Miao looked like an ordinary underage girl. Why did the old lady and Tong Pei protect her the moment she arrived?
Guo Miao followed Tong Pei to a room behind the old mansion.
When Tong Xin saw Guo Miao and Tong Pei walk in, her eyes lit up. “Guo Miao, you’re here!”
Tong Xin looked much rounder than before. She was still young, and her belly was only slightly bulging.
When she saw Tong Xin revealing a blissful smile, Guo Miao said with a smile, “Yes, I came to see how your fetus is.”
At this moment, Zhong Wei walked in with a teacup.
“Before you came just now, Xinxin was talking about you. Now, you’ve finally come.” Zhong Wei also beamed when he saw Guo Miao.
Compared to the previous time when he was obviously distrustful and wary, Zhong Wei was much more relaxed this time.
“A few days ago, she realized that her period was delayed by about half a month, so she went for a check-up,” Zhong Wei said with a smile.
They had been looking forward to this child for many years, and this time, their wish was finally fulfilled.
Tong Xin’s eyes were filled with tears. “I’m really grateful to you. Originally, I would never have thought that I’d have a child of my own in this lifetime.”
The Tongs and the Zhongs didn’t expect that there would be good news less than a month after Guo Miao gave them the medicine.
“Quickly help me check on how the baby is doing.” Tong Xin stretched out her hand and looked at Guo Miao uneasily.
Guo Miao placed her hand on Tong Xin’s wrist to feel her pulse and frowned slightly.
Zhong Wei became nervous. “Is there something wrong?”
Tong Xin’s health was not good, to begin with. A woman like her giving birth was a close shave with death. If this baby would threaten Tong Xin’s life, Zhong Wei would rather Tong Xin not give birth to this child.
Guo Miao smiled. “Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious. I’ll prescribe some herbal cuisine to Tong Xin. The first three months are when she will have morning sickness. It’s not good to take too much medicine. Eating some herbal cuisine won’t be very harmful, and it’s also good for the fetus.”
Hearing Guo Miao’s words, Tong Xin and Zhong Wei looked at each other and smiled.
Zhong Wei quickly took out a pen and paper and placed them in front of Guo Miao.
Guo Miao wrote a few herbs on it, most of which were nourishing herbal dishes. Not only were they good for Tong Xin’s body, but they would also taste delicious when brewed into a soup.
“The effects of these medicinal herbs can last until the end of labor. It will also help with the recovery after childbirth.”
“Thank you so much for helping us realize our dreams,” Zhong Wei said.
Guo Miao was also very happy to see their smiling faces..
