Chapter 380: Pregnancy Protection Talisman
Chapter 380: Pregnancy Protection Talisman
Liu Yan was almost scared to death. His wife always drank a glass of hot milk before going to bed. She had just brought it to the other party when her brother called her via video.
She didn't want to answer the phone at first, but her wife nodded to indicate that she could answer it. If she didn't answer it, it would seem like she had some secret that she couldn't let anyone know.
So, the wife heard the entire conversation on the video call. While sipping milk, the other party tentatively asked, "What did you say when you gave those clothes to your sister-in-law?"
Liu Yan was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.
"Madam, I really didn't say anything. I told them that these clothes were samples sent by my husband's company's clients. I didn't mention anything else."
"But I also know that my brother and his family wouldn't lie to me. They said there was a ghost in the house and even consulted a fortune teller, so it must be true. Madam, if there really is a ghost, would this house also..."
Liu Yan talked a lot, but the wife kept her head down and said nothing.
"Madam, you are still pregnant. If there is any damage to your body... there have been two accidents. If there is a problem this time as well."
The wife's face changed. "I'm a little sleepy." Then she went upstairs.
In the bedroom, she held the previous examination report and traced the fetus in the image with her fingers.
"Kids, is that you?"
"Are you missing your mother so you don't want to leave?" Two lines of tears slid down the woman's face. She thought of the two previous accidental miscarriages and her heart ached.
"Jiayi (wife's name: Han Jiayi), what's wrong with you?"
"Why are you taking these things out to look at again? It's so late, go to bed quickly."
Zhang Xuesong, 43, runs a publicly listed food company. Han Jiayi is his second wife, 26, nearly years his junior. His first wife died in childbirth more than a decade ago.
Ever since he married Han Jiayi, he wanted to have another child so that he could have a companion with his daughter Zhang Xien, born to his first wife. The process of his wife Han Jiayi receiving help was much smoother than they had expected, but it was stuck at the pregnancy stage.
In the past three years, Han Jiayi has been pregnant twice, but both times she had miscarriages.
So this time with the pregnancy, they were more careful than ever.
At this time, when the man saw his wife holding the previous examination report again, he was very worried.
"Jiayi, don't think about the past. Let's take good care of the baby this time."
Han Jiayi shook her head. "No, those things have never passed... You know what? The two aborted children turned into ghosts and are haunting our house."
The man didn't take his wife's words seriously. When she was pregnant twice before, he was always suspicious and always said that someone was trying to harm her.
"You're imagining things again..."
"I didn't!" Han Jiayi shouted excitedly, and then she told her husband again what happened at the nanny Liu Yan's brother's house.
The man heard it and said skeptically: "Does Liu Yan's family still believe this? I've never heard her mention it before."
Han Jiayi: "Do you think we should pray for the children so that they can be reincarnated sooner?"
"Okay." Although the man still had doubts in his heart, for the sake of his wife and the baby in her belly, he decided to follow his wife's wishes and perform a ritual for the two deceased children.
"But who should I ask to do it? If I ask someone I know, I'm worried that rumors will spread."
Han Jiayi recommended: "Liu Yan told me the live broadcast room his sister-in-law went to. It was Linglingyao's live broadcast room on the Kuaijiao platform. Let's ask Master Ling to check. The children are still at our house. She was the one who found them."
The man stroked his wife's belly and said, "I'll take care of this. You can rest assured and take care of the baby."
"But..." Han Jia wanted to try again.
Zhang Xuesong pretended to put on a stern face and said, "It's decided. Go to bed."
Although the woman was unwilling, she did not dare to refute her husband. She lay down, covered herself with the quilt, closed her eyes and began to fall asleep.
After his wife's breathing stabilized, the man quietly walked out of the room, called Liu Yan over, and scolded her:
"If I ever catch you talking nonsense to your wife again, you won't have to work in my house anymore."
Liu Yan trembled and said, "Sir, what I said is true. My brother's family would never lie. I've worked in your house for so many years, don't you trust me at all?" She covered her face and cried as she spoke, "Wuwuwu... Sir, you can send me away, but I swear I didn't tell a lie!"
Zhang Xuesong just wanted to give the nanny a warning, but he didn't expect her reaction to be so intense. He changed his words and said, "I'm not saying I don't trust you. It's just that my wife's situation... you understand. I just hope she has a safe birth."
Liu Yan wiped away her tears and said, "Sir, I bought a pregnancy-preserving talisman from Master Ling, and it will be delivered tomorrow. I know you doubt what I said, so why not take a look at the effect."
Zhang Xuesong didn't say anything, but held his chin with his right hand, his eyes moving slightly.
Early the next morning, Liu Yan received the pregnancy-preserving talisman sent by Mei Ling'er. When she gave it to Han Jiayi, she thought it was bought by her husband.
"Did Xuesong ask you to give it to me?"
Liu Yan was stunned. Meeting her wife's expectant eyes, she recalled her husband's instructions to her last night and said hurriedly, "Yes, ma'am. You must remember to bring it with you."
Han Jiayi nodded happily, put the pregnancy-preserving talisman into a drawstring bag that was 1/3 the size of her palm, lifted up her shirt, pinned it to the waist of her pants, and then put the shirt down.
Liu Yan clapped her hands and said, "Madam is really thoughtful. This way it won't get in the way and won't be conspicuous."
"Okay, go get me the bird's nest."
After Han Jiayi finished eating the bird's nest, she received a call from her mother, "Jiayi, your father and I are here. We're having dinner at Xianjuju tonight. Can you come over?"
The woman hesitated after hearing this. Her husband strictly controlled her travel, but she hadn't seen her parents for a long time.
"If it's inconvenient, forget it. Your father and I have to go back to our hometown early tomorrow morning..."
Han Jiayi was surprised and asked, "Why are you going back so soon?"
Mom explained, "We're just here for a routine checkup. If you hadn't insisted on doing it in Shanghai, we could have done it back home. The chickens, ducks, geese, vegetables in the garden, and the flowers by the gate all need someone to take care of them."
After hearing what her mother said, Han Jia nodded slightly and replied, "Okay, I'll go over tonight."
After hanging up the phone, she told her husband what happened. Zhang Xuesong replied, "Okay, I have a meeting tonight and may be late. I'll let Arong go with you."
Han Jiayi was very happy to hear that her husband was going to assign the most powerful bodyguard to her.
