Chapter 2382
Duan Sishu saw Feng Nianian walking in with a bulging belly and didn’t get up. She continued to eat the grapes the nanny had washed, and casually asked, "You’re back, huh? Wash your hands, Li Ma’s cooking will be ready soon."
Feng Nianian hid the plastic bag behind her. Her belly was quite big, and with the layers of clothes she was wearing, Duan Sishu couldn’t see when she turned sideways.
Feng Nianian took off her coat and headed to her room. Duan Sishu didn’t look at her closely, her attention was entirely drawn to the TV, occasionally chuckling.
Feng Nianian safely returned to her room. Although she knew Duan Sishu wouldn’t notice, she couldn’t help but feel guilty, holding her breath.
She locked several packets of medicine in the drawer and only got up when she heard the nanny calling for dinner.

As she reached the doorway, she saw Duan Sishu on the sofa stand up, wobbling slightly in mid-air, and steadying herself on the sofa’s armrest.
"Mom?!" Feng Nianian’s eyes flashed. Seeing the nanny also approaching, she quickly rushed over with worry in her eyes and helped Duan Sishu, who almost fell.
Duan Sishu’s face was a bit pale as she held her forehead. Once the dizziness passed, she opened her eyes.
"Madam, you look a bit unwell. Should we go to the hospital to check?" the nanny asked with concern.
Although Feng Nianian had only fed the medication for half a month, she knew these were symptoms after administering the medicine. Naturally, she couldn’t let Duan Sishu go to the hospital for an examination, so she said in a low voice, "Mom, do you have low blood sugar? You’ve had low blood sugar before, maybe you haven’t been eating well recently."
She turned to the nanny with a filial expression, "Li Ma, my mom has some low blood sugar and anemia. If you have time, could you make her some nourishing soup? Thank you."
"Alright, alright, tomorrow I’ll make some black chicken soup for Madam to nourish her body," the nanny agreed, nodding her head without suspicion.
Duan Sishu didn’t suspect anything either. Once she recovered from the dizziness, she returned to normal.
In the evening, before Duan Sishu went to bed, Feng Nianian personally brought her a cup of milk. "Mom, this is red date milk I asked someone to buy. It’s very nourishing. Try it and see if you like it."
Duan Sishu had been drinking the milk Feng Nianian brought lately and was actually a bit tired of it. But since she mentioned it was red date milk, nourishing blood, and recalling her dizziness earlier, at her age, she feared death the most. So she put up with it and took the milk Feng Nianian offered.
After drinking, Feng Nianian immediately took the cup back, washed it carefully in the kitchen, and then returned to her room to sleep.
Regarding this, Duan Sishu never suspected a thing. She was accustomed to being served; Feng Nianian offering the milk and then taking the cup to wash were seen as perfectly normal.
After the Lantern Festival, Jiaojiao started school on the twentieth of the lunar calendar.
As a soon-to-be graduate, Jiaojiao didn’t have many classes left. She planned to find a place to intern after school started; after the internship, she’d prepare for her thesis and defense.
Jiaojiao was guaranteed to pursue graduate studies, so she could choose whether to intern or not. But since she had some free time and wanted to find something to do, she decided to go for an internship.
The school didn’t require it; she could find one on her own.
Knowing Jiaojiao intended to intern, several elders in the family extended offers. The first to know was Gu Zichen.
