The old year is gone and the new year has begun.
The Liu family in Macheng sent a lot of supplements, and Wen Po nanny also came with them. Of course, these were all for little Fu. Mrs. Liu's mother, Mrs. Wei, also came. She had served Mrs. Liu since she was a child. Even when Liu Chengxu saw her, he would respect her.
At this time, she was sitting on the embroidery stool, not daring to sit still. She picked up the handkerchief and said to Mrs. Fu: "The old lady heard that my eldest brother has gone, she cried a lot, and asked me to persuade you not to be sad. Saying that you are still young, it will not be difficult for you to take care of yourself and have another child."
Mrs. Fu held the handkerchief and shed tears. After Rao's mother and Yuping were betrayed, although Liu Chengxu still chose to believe her, he stopped coming to her place, and the couple became very estranged.
She was really frustrated by the endless disputes in the back house.
Mother Wei also saw that she was absent-minded. Moreover, the focus of her visit this time was the little Fu family. She was just afraid that Liu Chengxu would have objections, so she came to the Fu family. After all, her second father-in-law was a soft-hearted and affectionate man.
Aunt Su, who had been tempered by the removal of chicken pox, was no longer as out-of-the-box as before. It was not easy for her to come back this time, so she was cautious and did not dare to say a word.
It must be said that Aunt Ding begged for mercy this time, and she was able to come back before the year.
Of course Mother Wei also noticed that she was walking on thin ice like this. The reason why Aunt Su was able to have a large number of family members and was successfully promoted to aunt was all thanks to the dowager.
Therefore, Mother Wei said: "Aunt Su, I heard that the second girl had a splash, is she fine now?"
"Okay, okay, everything is okay." Aunt Su said quickly.
Mother Wei nodded: "Okay, that's good."
Now Mrs. Fu is in self-pity and Aunt Su is cautious. I wonder what will happen to Mr. Fu?
Speaking of Little Fu, Li Shu got along with her mother deeply, and then she realized that her mother was really very strict with her. For example, she felt that pregnant women should not eat too fat, which would make it difficult to give birth, so she strictly abided by it. No matter how delicious the food was, she would Definitely not going to take more than one bite.
Moreover, when she was pregnant and raising her baby, she actually arranged for Li Shu to learn how to perform intrauterine massage every day. She herself also searched for various books in her father's study to read. In fact, Li Shu felt that her mother ate very little on weekdays. No matter how delicious the food was, she would not eat more and was very harsh on herself.
"Baby, I have a vaginal discharge. Today, mother will teach you how to pour tea..." Little Fu looked at her daughter with a smile.
Li Shu nodded solemnly. In her previous life, her mother lingered on the sickbed, and she had no chance to teach her this. She didn't start working hard until her mother passed away. When she was a child, she always felt that she had lived a miserable life and no one cared about her. If it weren't for her mother's blessing and a wonderful marriage, she would not try her best to make up for herself. shortcomings.
The mother and daughter were doing the vaginal surgery together, and Mrs. Fu touched her daughter's head from time to time. Of course, she knew in her heart that this baby was a son, the eldest son of the second wife. Her mother's waist was also straighter, but the higher her expectations were. The greater the disappointment, the younger Mr. Fu would simply stop thinking about it.
It wasn't until people outside said that Mrs. Wei had come in that little Mrs. Fu put down the silk thread in her hand. This was the first time in several years that Mrs. Wei saw little Mrs. Fu.
Lishu knew that this mother Wei was the mother closest to her grandmother. She was very loyal to her grandmother, and her attitude almost represented her grandmother's attitude.
Mother Wei came in with a smile on her face: "Second Madam, sit down quickly, sit down quickly. I am a slave, how can you come to greet me. Madam Tai is worried about you at home. She said Jiujiang is not as good as home. How are you doing?"
Little Mrs. Fu touched her belly shyly: "Thank you, Madam, for caring about me. I don't feel any discomfort in my body."
Lishu thought that Wei's mother was so happy. It seemed that her grandmother was very satisfied with Mr. Fu. Since ancient times, there has been little true love between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but great benefits. Most of what your mother-in-law cares about is whether you can have children. No matter how noble your qualities or people are, they are just tools for procreation.
Mother Wei looked at the little Mrs. Fu in front of her. Although she was wearing a plain skirt in blue and only had a jade hairpin on her fluffy lily bun, her skin was radiant and charming. She was such a beauty.
It's no wonder that when the second master felt so guilty about Mrs. Fu, he was able to regain his favor and get pregnant. It was indeed the appearance that accounted for most of it.
Therefore, Mother Wei expressed her purpose of coming more and more: "Eldest brother has gone. Although Aunt Su gave birth to the second brother and the third brother, it is still not as good as the one in your belly. The wife personally selected the wet nurse to come over. You just need to give birth, if you want anything, you can tell me, Mother Wei."
Mrs. Fu was polite and didn't mention the hardships of her pregnancy. Lishu also knew that mothers-in-law would not understand the hardships of their daughters-in-law. What they wanted to see was their daughters-in-law giving birth to sons.
It was obvious that her mother was beautiful, talented and tough, but no one cared about her. Lishu really felt sorry for her mother.
Mother Wei is very enthusiastic, but Mrs. Fu is always gentle and gentle, and does not ask for anything more because she is pregnant. This makes Mother Wei very satisfied. Those people who yell and drink when they are pregnant are also women. Who doesn’t know that those women are just relying on their pregnancy to be proud of their favor?
This second lady is really a sensible person. She is still young, but she is not frivolous at all. Even if she gives birth to a daughter, she will definitely have another daughter in the future.
When Xiao Fu and Mother Wei talked about their acquaintance with the Chi family, they only mentioned: "Our Lishu is not very old, but she is not managed well by me. It happens that the Chi family has some friendship with me, so she specially sent a grandma to her." Grandma gives our sister Shu a son, so that she can also learn the rules, just like her sisters."
This is a clear way to avoid others saying that she is partial in the future. Little Fu is indeed partial. She is not the head wife now, and her daily treatment is average. Why can't she give her daughter something unique if she is good?
If the overall environment is fair, she should be fair, but if everyone has their own small thoughts, how can she be worthy of someone like Aunt Su who wants to harm her own daughter?
The reason why she doesn't move Aunt Su now is because she is pregnant, and she doesn't want her to die so easily. She deserves to die, but it will make her die in pain.
Mother Wei flattered her: "I heard a letter from the second master a long time ago saying that you helped solve several cases. I never thought that you would have a relationship with the Chi family. The third girl will definitely have a bright future in the future. I am here to congratulate you first." .”
"She is still young, so there is no future for her. I only hope that she will be safe and happy, and that she will be Amitabha without any fuss." Mrs. Fu is always happy when others praise her daughter.
Mother Wei glanced at the little girl next to little Fu, and was secretly frightened. She remembered that her name had a Shu character. She saw that little Fu was already a beauty who was not as powerful as Wu Gong Xizi, and a powerful beauty in the south of the Chu Kingdom. The third girl is even better than her predecessors.
Picking up the band she had just made, she couldn't help but praise her: "I didn't expect that the third girl, at such a young age and with such tender hands, could make such a good band."
Li Shu said generously: "My mother taught me these things. She asked me to learn needlework so that I can be filial to my grandparents."
Mother Wei praised again: "The girl is really filial."
…
The little Fu family’s small courtyard was almost full of supplements, medicinal materials, silk, etc. sent by her hometown. Even Li Shu’s room was piled up. Even the wet nurse and Wen Po who were sent over were arranged to live in the courtyard. .
Mother Wei went to see Liu Chengxu again. When she mentioned Little Fu, Liu Chengxu's face became much gentler. Of course she knew what Liu Chengxu was thinking now.
She also knew how to resurrect her life when she returned.
Li Shu watched little Fu's belly getting bigger and bigger, and became more and more nervous. In her previous life, she had seen many women die in childbirth, and she was also afraid that her mother would be like this, so she was very nervous.
Not only her, but also Liu Chengxu was nervous. Of course, the most nervous one was Aunt Su. She was spitting out melon seed skins and saying to her only maid, Yingying: "Look at the round belly of the second lady, she must be pregnant with a daughter. "
Cherry could only follow her words and said: "I can see that the second lady is pregnant, and her face is smooth and noticeable. It is completely different from when you were pregnant with the second and third young masters. When you were pregnant with your son, you would have butterfly spots, but she didn't. "
"Yes." Aunt Su felt relieved.
Because it was Aunt Ding who protected her return this time, Aunt Su knew that Aunt Ding was pedantic, but she was an upright person, so she went to Aunt Ding again to persuade her sincerely.
"Sister, it is better to have a child in the back house. You are in charge of the house now. When the second wife gives birth to the child, she may be the housekeeper. In fact, you are also pretty with a little makeup. You don't care about yourself. Think about it, you have to think about us four girls. I heard from Mother Wei that the second lady hired a nun from Queen Chi’s palace for the third girl. The master paid for it and only taught the third girl one. She is favored , everything good belongs to her. Anyway, I still have two sons. Although I am not favored now, I am still looked after to some extent."
Aunt Ding smiled lightly and shook her head: "I don't care about this. Okay, Aunt Su, if you have nothing to do, go back first. I have to go to the eldest lady today."
Aunt Su knew that Aunt Ding was noble, so she curled her lips and walked away. Aunt Ding didn't care about her, because Aunt Su was so stupid. She thought that what she did was perfect, she only thought that little Fu was favored, but she didn't expect that others would revenge.
At this moment, Mingyue came in from outside and said, "Auntie, the Second Madam has launched an attack."
"The days are almost gone." Aunt Ding was very calm.
Mingyue glanced outside and said, "The Madam attaches great importance to the Second Madam's pregnancy and has sent so many supplements. What should I do if the baby is a daughter?"
Aunt Ding muttered: "She is very favored and fertile. Even if the child is a daughter, she will become pregnant soon."
In the past, she underestimated Mr. Fu, but now it seems that she has really met her match.
Originally, I invited Aunt Su back to let Xiao Fu deal with her, but I never thought that Xiao Fu could hold back and remain still. Obviously when Mother Wei came over, little Fu was not dazzled by this kind of treatment and knew that the most important thing now was to give birth to a son.
Only a smooth delivery is the first priority for her to stabilize her position. She must be a ruthless person if she can tolerate everything that ordinary people cannot. Aunt Ding saw little Fu like this, so she had no choice but to hold back.
Outside the delivery room
Lishu was still talking to her mother just now. Suddenly her mother fell down and Po Wen came over, and she rushed out.
Tingxue and Siyu both advised her to go back to her room: "It will take a long time to have a baby. Sister Danqing asked you to go back to your room first."
Lishu and the maids returned to their room and saw a cluster of early spring buds sprouting out of the ground in the corner. If her mother could give birth smoothly, it seemed that her fate of miscarriage in her previous life would be changed, and things would be different from now on.
But, will it go smoothly this time? Even if Li Shu is reborn, she will be unpredictable. After all, giving birth is a hellish experience for the mother!
