Jiang Shu told Jiang's mother about Xu Lingyi.
Jiang's mother sighed after hearing this: "It's difficult for women, no matter who they are reborn into."
Jiang Shu deeply agreed with this statement.
Mother Jiang added: "If I had known what happened seven years ago, maybe..."
Maybe they wouldn't agree to the Marquis' marriage proposal.
But there is no such thing as early knowledge and possibility in this world.
"Mom, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about something happy." Jiang Shu changed the subject.
After finally returning home, she didn't want to leave behind anything but sentimentality.
Jiang's mother, Jiang Ningshi, had a difficult delivery. Although she had been nursed back to health for many years, she was still weak. After talking to Jiang Shu for a while, she felt tired.
Jiang Shu waited for her to rest, said goodbye to Jiang Ning, Jiang's father, and returned to the Hou Mansion.
"Madam is back." The concierge opened the door and greeted her.
Jiang Shu asked casually: "Is the Marquis in the mansion?"
"Yes, the Marquis will return home in the morning." The servant answered truthfully.
Jiang Shu was stunned.
He returned home in the morning, so why didn't he go to Jiang's house?
No matter how good-tempered Jiang Shu was, he was angry at this moment. He went straight to Lanyun Court to ask for his guilt.
"Madam." The servants of Lanyun Court were very surprised to see Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu asked: "Is Mr. Hou here?"
"exist."
Jiang Shu walked up to the main house.
"Madam." The maid wanted to stop her, but Jiang Shu glanced at her coldly and retreated.
"The anti-fetal medicine has just been prepared, be careful as it is hot."
"Husband, feed me something to drink."
"Okay." Shen Changze scooped up the medicinal soup with a porcelain spoon, blew it to cool and then gently brought it to Cheng Jinchu's lips.
Jiang Shu stood outside the bead curtain door, looking coldly at the two loving people in the bedroom.
What did she just hear? Anti-fetal pills?
Cheng Jinchu is pregnant!
"Sister is here, come in and sit down." Cheng Jinchu, who was leaning on the soft couch, saw Jiang Shu and smiled brightly.
Jiang Shu understood that Cheng Jinchu was deliberately irritating her, but she still felt very dazzling and felt a dull pain in her heart.
Shen Changze turned his head and looked ashamed when he saw Jiang Shu.
"You listen to Zhulou first, I'll find you later." After Shen Changze finished speaking, he turned back and continued to feed Cheng Jinchu.
Jiang Shu sneered and left with a puff of sleeves.
Two quarters of an hour later, Shen Changze came to Tingzhulou.
Jiang Shu was writing at the desk, but she didn't put down her pen when Shen Changze walked up to her.
"I didn't intentionally break the appointment today." Shen Changze explained in a deep voice.
"I went home to change clothes after my official duties, and Jinchu suddenly fainted. Doctor Fang came to see her and said she was pregnant. Due to overwork recently, her fetal strength was unstable and she needed to rest."
"So? Mr. Hou is using the medicine to nourish the fetus?" Jiang Shu sneered.
Shen Changze was annoyed when he heard this: "It's unreasonable."
"The Marquis broke his promise before, but instead said that I was unreasonable?"
"If you hadn't left the responsibility of being the head of the house to Jin Chu, she wouldn't have overworked her. It's just a meal. I'll go back with you next time."
"So it's my fault that Mrs. Jin's fetal condition was unstable?" A sneer appeared on Jiang Shu's lips.
"Jinchu didn't blame you."
"So the Marquis wants me to thank her for her magnanimity?"
"Jiang Shu, you disappoint me so much!"
The two quarreled for a while while holding guns and sticks, and Shen Changze walked away with an angry look on his face.
Tanyu Chuyu was frightened when she heard it outside the house, and cautiously entered the house to persuade Jiang Shu.
"I want to be alone for a while." Jiang Shu's voice was cold.
The two of them saw that she was really angry, so they had to close the door and retreat.
After writing the last word, Jiang Shu put down his pen and looked at the words on the paper and thought deeply.
I woke up with no treasure in my dream, claiming that Nanshan was just a hoe. If you are asking about marriage and illness, don’t look for repairing roads to support each other.
It was the signature I asked for at Zhaojue Temple last time.
Jiang Shu looked at it repeatedly for a long time, with hidden thoughts in his mind.
Cheng Jinchu was diagnosed with pregnancy. Mrs. Shen and Mother Shen were very happy and held a banquet in Shouyong Hall to celebrate.
"It's great. The Hou Mansion is about to bring in another child." Mother Shen happily drank the fruit wine.
Mrs. Shen stared at Cheng Jinchu's flat belly and begged with a smile: "It would be best if it was a boy."
"Yes, many children bring blessings." Mother Shen was also full of expectations for Cheng Jinchu's belly.
"Ugh—" Cheng Jinchu suddenly felt uncomfortable and retched.
"What's wrong? Where's the discomfort?" Shen Changze asked with concern.
Cheng Jinchu frowned and pointed at the fish soup in front of her.
"Quick, put the fish soup farther away and put it over there." Mrs. Shen pointed at Jiang Shu.
The maid immediately took away the fish soup and placed it in front of Jiang Shu.
The sour radish and old duck soup that Jiang Shu loved to drink was placed in front of Cheng Jinchu.
The maid served a bowl to Cheng Jinchu, and Cheng Jinchu drank it with a smile on his face.
Mrs. Shen kept watching her, and when she put down the bowl, she immediately asked: "Do you like this soup?"
Cheng Jinchu nodded: "This soup is mellow and sour, very delicious."
"Quickly, serve her another bowl, and serve her the duck legs as well." Mrs. Shen excitedly ordered the maid.
"They say sour children are hot girls. If Jinchu is so happy with sourness, she must be pregnant with a boy." Mrs. Shen couldn't help but be happy.
Both Shen's mother and Shen Changze had expectations on their faces.
Jiang Shu and Xu Lingyi sat like wood, eating tastelessly. "Shu'er, you have to hurry up." Shen's mother urged through her drunkenness.
Jiang Shu raised his eyes and looked at Shen Changze across from him, feeling cold as he thought about the quarrel between the two in the afternoon.
Shen Changze was still angry and looked at Jiang Shu with cold and displeased eyes.
Everyone at the table has their own thoughts.
Back at Woad Garden, Xu Lingyi sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked at the face in the mirror carefully.
"Bitao, am I good-looking?"
Xu Lingyi still questioned her dowry maid with some anxiety.
She had always been very confident about her appearance, but after seeing the charming Jiang Shu, she was no longer sure.
Bi Tao replied affirmatively: "It's good-looking. Auntie's appearance is excellent in the whole of Shangjing."
"Then why has the Marquis not come for a long time?" Xu Lingyi looked in the mirror and felt sorry for himself.
After the wedding ceremony, Shen Changze never stepped into the Woad Garden again, which made Xu Lingyi have self-doubt.
Bi Tao's hand combing her hair paused, and she thought seriously: "Maybe the Marquis is too busy, or maybe he is entangled with the children."
"So, I can't wait for Mr. Hou to think of me when he is free, I have to take the initiative." Xu Lingyi's eyes were firm.
Cheng Jinchu is pregnant again. If she continues to work hard, there will be no place for her in the Marquis Mansion.
After taking a bath, Jiang Shu lazily leaned on the couch, letting Chu Yu wipe her hair and Tan Yu beat her legs.
Thinking of Cheng Jinchu's behavior during dinner, Tan Yu muttered angrily: "Mrs. Jin is proud to show off like that, it really makes people angry."
"Mother is more valuable than her son, and she has the capital to be proud." Jiang Shu frowned slightly, looking gloomy.
Tan Yu said unfairly: "Madam is modest and generous, and never cares about her, but she uses all her means to fight with her. It's really too much to bully others."
"If you let her continue to run rampant like this, I'm afraid Madam won't even have a foothold."
"Tan Yu!" Chu Yu shouted.
Tan Yu turned her head away and burst into tears.
"Tan Yu is right, it's time to fight back." Jiang Shu stood up and walked towards the desk.
Chu Yu hurriedly laid out paper and studied ink.
With long, semi-wet hair, Jiang Shu took up his pen and wrote several letters with a serious look on his face.
"Chu Yu, send someone to deliver this letter to my father."
"And these are for shopkeeper Tong of the wine shop and shopkeeper Wang of the grain shop."
Jiang Shu owns several liquor stores and grain stores, but they are far less numerous than the Jiang family.
Therefore, if she wants to succeed, she must ask Father Jiang for help.
