After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband-Chapter 799 - 797 Vomiting

Nanyang Marquis Mansion.

Nie Yao had no appetite, so the maid made her favorite pumpkin porridge.

Nie Yao ate two bites and couldn’t eat anymore.

Outside, the maid hurried in and informed Nie Yao of the news that the eldest daughter of Uncle Wenyuan Mansion was pregnant and had been brought back to Duke Chong’s Mansion as the Heir’s wife. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Vomiting and lack of appetite, does that definitely mean pregnancy?" the maid asked, looking at Nie Yao.

She was Nie Yao’s close maid.

In the morning, she had personally seen Nie Yao retching, although she hadn’t actually vomited.

The reporting maid shook her head and said, "I don’t know, but usually, pregnancy comes with vomiting, right?"

"Miss, you...," the maid was worried.

She knew about Nie Yao and Prince NanAn’s consummation.

Princess Shouning sacrificed her life to save Prince NanAn, who vowed to remain chaste for a year in her honor.

The Miss could only marry a year later.

Furthermore, the Empress intended for the Prince to remarry only after three years...

If the Miss were pregnant, what would she do?

Nie Yao shook her head.

Impossible!

She couldn’t be pregnant!

She picked up the pumpkin porridge on the table and swallowed it in a few bites.

She did not have a lack of appetite!

Not only could she eat, but she was eating more than before!

After one bowl, she served herself another half bowl.

After having the maid take the porridge bowl away, Nie Yao looked at her close maid and said, "You can go too, I want to be alone for a moment."

"Miss..."

"Go!"

The maid left, turning back every few steps.

When the sound of the door closing reached her, Nie Yao covered her mouth and ran to the window to vomit.

Not only did she vomit out all the porridge she just ate, but almost her entire stomach.

She sat weakly on the bed, clutching the bedpost, her nose tingling with acidity.

She sat there for half a day.

The maid didn’t dare enter, secretly peeking at her through the window.

Smelling an odd odor, she knew what had happened.

The maid hurried inside, just as Nie Yao was rummaging through her chest of drawers.

"Miss, what are you looking for?" the maid asked.

Nie Yao pulled out male clothing, picked it up, and then stuffed it back.

"Fetch me one set of your clothes," Nie Yao said.

"Miss..."

Nie Yao looked at her, what could the maid do?

She could only go fetch a new set of clothes she hadn’t worn for Nie Yao.

After changing, Nie Yao took the maid and sneaked out of the mansion.

She didn’t believe she was pregnant, she needed to see a doctor to confirm, she didn’t want to let her mind wander.

If she was ill, she needed to see a doctor to avoid unnecessary worry for her grandfather.

Finally—

Nie Yao was supported by the maid as they left the pharmacy.

The doctor clearly told her she was pregnant, over a month along.

She walked aimlessly, almost bumping into someone.

The person she almost bumped into was Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu tightened the reins and, upon seeing it was Nie Yao, said, "Miss Nie?"

Nie Yao glanced at him and said, "You’ve mistaken me for someone else."

With that, she hurriedly left with the maid.

Zhao Xu frowned tightly.

His memory was usually good, there was no way he’d mistaken her.

He glanced at the pharmacy, then at Nie Yao’s hurriedly departing figure, her pale face, and the maid’s attire...

Could she have contracted some terminal illness?

Having walked a bit further, the maid looked back, then tugged at Nie Yao and said, "Miss, he didn’t follow us."

Nie Yao knew Zhao Xu wouldn’t follow.

Although she was Prince NanAn’s fiancée, she had no relation with Zhao Xu, so how could he chase after her?

Nie Yao stopped walking, the maid asked, "Miss, what now?"

"With something this big, we must inform the Old Marquis."

"The day before yesterday, I overheard the Old Marquis talking with the steward, saying he would soon be going to the battlefield."

"We should hold the banquet before the Old Marquis leaves Capital City."

Nie Yao looked at the maid and said, "Don’t tell Grandfather."

"But Miss, what will you do?" the maid anxiously asked.

This pregnancy wasn’t something small, as her belly would show in due time, and it couldn’t be hidden then.

Nie Yao said, "I will find a way."

In the evening, the Nanyang Marquis returned from the military camp.

Nie Yao went to him and said, "Grandfather, I want to move back to Yinzhou."

The Nanyang Marquis looked at her and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to move back to Yinzhou?"

"I just want to move back," Nie Yao said.

"Grandfather will soon leave for the battlefield, and I’ll be left alone in Capital City, I’m scared."

The Nanyang Marquis looked at Nie Yao, noticing her complexion didn’t seem well.

The Nanyang Marquis had only this one granddaughter, and her future was his biggest concern.

He initially planned to entrust Nie Yao to Prince NanAn before leaving for the border, so he could be at ease even if he were to die on the battlefield, without worrying about leaving her alone and helpless.

Who would’ve thought that all plans would be disrupted before her marriage?

He could entrust Nie Yao to Princess NanAn for care.

But since she hadn’t married yet, Nie Yao still had to stay in the Marquis Mansion, and he was genuinely worried the Empress might blame Nie Yao for Princess Shouning’s death.

In case something happened after he left...

After all, Yinzhou was his territory, Nie Yao moving back there gave him some peace of mind.

"Alright, Grandfather will have someone escort you back to Yinzhou," the Nanyang Marquis said.

"I’m leaving the day after tomorrow," Nie Yao said.

The Nanyang Marquis looked at her, "Why the rush?"

Nie Yao clutched his arm and said, "Once I’m back in Yinzhou, Grandfather can live in the military camp without having to commute."

"Every time, it’s Yaoyao seeing Grandfather off to the battlefield, this time it’s Grandfather’s turn to see Yaoyao off."

"Grandfather, please grant me this."

The Nanyang Marquis was swayed by Nie Yao’s pleading.

He chuckled, "Alright, Grandfather agrees to it."

Nie Yao stood by and helped the Nanyang Marquis grind ink.

She forced a smile, not showing any reluctance.

The Nanyang Marquis sensed something was off with his granddaughter, but considering recent events, it’s still better to leave Capital City.

Prince NanAn had close ties with Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, and if Daqi went to war with Nanliang, Prince NanAn would undoubtedly join the battle.

Once a war started, it could take half a year or more before he returned; it wouldn’t be too late for her to return after Prince NanAn’s triumphant return to Capital City.

The next morning after the court, the Nanyang Marquis informed Prince NanAn of Nie Yao’s wish to return to Yinzhou.

Upon returning to the mansion, Prince NanAn relayed this to Princess NanAn.

Princess NanAn lamented, "Why is she going back to Yinzhou, is she unhappy in Capital City?"

Prince NanAn glanced at her.

Princess NanAn sighed herself, "After so much that happened, no wonder she’s unhappy."

"The journey from Capital City to Yinzhou takes half a month, I should have Fengfeng escort her back."

Prince NanAn shook his head, "The Old Marquis won’t let Fengfeng escort her, fearing it might upset the Empress."

Princess NanAn, too, wasn’t pleased, "Must we always consider others’ feelings and neglect our own lives?"

"After all, Princess Shouning saved Fengfeng’s life..."

"Alright, I understand," Princess NanAn said.

"Escorting for ten miles should be permissible, right?!"

Prince NanAn gave no reply, and Princess NanAn stood up to leave, "Send for the Prince to come back!"

Drinking every day without leaving the house previously.

Now that he doesn’t drink, he simply doesn’t return to the mansion.

How could her son be so exasperating?
