"I know now that you are not the kind of stepmother who has bad intentions for your stepsons and stepdaughters, and you would not harm them at all, so I came to ask for your advice, and you probably won't give me any bad ideas. I still know this. Yes." Luo Changqing is a politician after all, he is thick-skinned, and he returned to normal after a while.
Xu Shichu sneered and said, "You think you can come to me if I don't have bad intentions? But I don't want to cause trouble for myself."
"You don't think that I will be willing to help your daughter when you say that, do you? Are you a little naive?" Xu Shichu said sarcastically.
"Why should I care about your daughter's affairs? If I stand by and ignore her, she will treat me as if I am not a person, and we are not in conflict with each other. But if I really give her advice, she will be fine if she achieves her goal. , but if she didn’t achieve it, then she would hate me and think that I harmed her on purpose.
Prime Minister, why do you think I should do such a thankless thing? Why should I ask for trouble, mix into her muddy water, and be covered in sewage for nothing? "
Luo Changqing was speechless after hearing her words. He had a sullen face and wanted to refute, but reason told him that what Xu Shichu said was reasonable. If she really interfered in her daughter's affairs, if she could solve it perfectly It was okay, but if not, not to mention his daughter, even he himself would doubt whether Xu Shichu did something bad intentionally.
Just because he understood this, Luo Changqing couldn't face Xu Shichu's clear eyes. He sighed and said, "I thought too simply. You are right, I shouldn't let you go here." A pool of muddy water.”
After all, even his own father felt helpless and tired of his daughter's affairs. How could he have the nerve to come to Xu Shichu, a stepmother who was estranged from his daughter, to give her advice?
Xu Shichu nodded. What she was most satisfied with was that Luo Changqing would take his face and reputation into consideration. After all, he was a prime minister, and he had the so-called integrity of a scholar who was noble and arrogant. Even for the sake of reputation, he would not force Xu Shichu or use conspiracy against her.
Although Xu Shichu was not afraid of his angry revenge, at least he would not do such a thing since he regarded himself as a "gentleman".
So not only did Luo Changqing fail to get any advice from Xu Shichu, but he also felt depressed and unwilling to leave.
Luo Yaqing did not understand her father's embarrassment and frustration, but instead urged her father to make the decision for her even more anxiously.
Xu Shichu didn't care how they dealt with Zhou Wencun's pregnant maid after that, but no matter how they dealt with it, Luo Yaqing would definitely not be able to please her.
Although Xu Shichu didn't want to gloat about his misfortune, she felt that Luo Yaqing deserved it whenever she thought of the sins the original owner had suffered from Luo Yaqing in her life.
After Luo Yaqing left her parents' home and returned to the Prince's Palace of Shunyi, Qin Mei found out that she was pregnant. The Luo family father and son swept away their previous worries and bad luck and became beaming with joy. The Luo family finally had a successor. A happy event.
Although Luo Rui gradually saw the true face of his wife's willfulness and foolishness, because she was pregnant with her child, he regained some of his original intimacy with her.
"You are just pregnant and it's your first child. You don't have much experience. You can ask your mother-in-law to accompany you." Luo Rui said to Qin Mei in a rare and kind manner.
When Qin Mei heard that she could see her mother, she was naturally very happy and quickly agreed: "I just happen to miss my mother too. My mother can also teach me how to raise a fetus..."
She proudly touched her belly, which had no visible curvature at just one month old, and felt proud again. She felt that the child in her belly had arrived at the right time, which suddenly changed the indifferent attitude of her father-in-law and husband towards her. What a lucky star for her!
She was so proud of her baby bump that she asked her mother to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to take care of her the day after she found out she was pregnant.
"My daughter, you are pregnant!" Qin's mother said in surprise as soon as she walked in and saw her daughter lying lazily on the bed.
"Why are you lying on the bed? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Why don't you ask a doctor to take a look?" Seeing her lying on the bed, Qin's mother asked worriedly, "Don't let anything happen to your good grandson." Yes, he will be your support for the rest of your life!"
"Mom, I'm fine. I just don't want to go out for a walk. What if I accidentally fall and have a miscarriage?" Qin Mei said seriously, "It's safer to lie down in bed."
When Qin's mother heard this, she immediately poked her daughter's forehead with her finger and said, "Are you stupid? It's only been a month since you went out and just lay in bed? Do you want to grow yourself into a pig? You're too fat. It’s very easy to have dystocia. If you don’t go out and exercise, how will you have the strength to have a baby?”
Qin Mei didn't understand anything. She was Qin's mother's last child. When she got married, she didn't have a sister-in-law at home, so she didn't know how a pregnant woman should spend her pregnancy. It's not surprising that she would make a big joke now.
"Get up as soon as possible." Qin's mother took her daughter's arm and said, "If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known you were so good at tormenting yourself!"
Qin Mei then slowly got up from the bed and said unhappily: "How can we exercise? Won't it be hard with a big belly?"
"Do you think it's easy to have a baby? You'll suffer even more when your belly gets bigger, but it's still the easiest for you now." Qin's mother glared at her daughter.
She looked at Qin Mei carefully and found that her complexion was not very good, so she frowned and asked, "Why do you look like this? Did the Luo family fail to take good care of you? Does it make you worry?"
Qin Mei immediately shook her head and said, "No, no, I was just too happy to know that I was pregnant and I didn't sleep well last night."
Qin's mother stared at her closely and said, "Don't hide it from me. I know it's not the reason."
Qin Mei could only sigh and no longer hide anything: "I'm just worried about whether my husband will take a concubine now that I'm pregnant. My daughter's relationship with him was not very good before, and they had several quarrels. Will he take advantage of it?" Are you taking this opportunity to find other women? Mom, I don’t want him to have other women!"
When Qin's mother heard what she said, she was not sure for a moment, but she comforted her: "It shouldn't be possible, right? The Luo family doesn't seem to have a tradition of taking concubines. You see, the Prime Minister doesn't even have a concubine now. Luo Rui is his son, so he probably doesn’t care much about women.”
Qin Mei was still unhappy and said, "Even if he doesn't take concubines himself, I'm afraid that my mother-in-law will give her husband a girl!"
"What's going on? Didn't you say that your step-mother-in-law won't mind your business?" Qin's mother asked immediately.
"I offended her before. Who knows if she will take the opportunity to cause trouble for me? When I was pregnant, I gave my husband a girl to marry me. Isn't this a legitimate excuse to make it difficult for me?" Qin Mei said more and more. Worried.
