Cui Anhua finally made his wish and stayed in Beijing. He no longer had to go to Liangzhou to be a bitter garrison. The reason why he easily agreed to Jiang Wenyue's request was that besides really wanting to be with her and the child, there was another reason. A reason that only he knew was that he was afraid that if he didn't come back, his fate next year would be the same as his previous life, dying on the battlefield.
In his previous life, he would have died, but in this life, he was with the one he loved and had the fruit of love. He was satisfied and naturally did not want to risk his own life, so he simply settled for once and for all and returned to Beijing. Then his death in his previous life Naturally, the disaster cannot happen again.
This reason is difficult to explain, so when his colleagues curiously asked him why he was a good general instead of a good general and came back to be a Beijing official with no real power, Cui Anhua said with a guilty look that it was to spend more time with his wife and children at home.
Colleagues laughed at him in front of him, saying that indeed in Gentle Village and Heroes' Tomb, Lao Cui was really doting on his beloved wife and young children, and he was a tough man and tenderhearted; but when they turned their backs, they laughed at him that heroes are short-tempered and have long-lasting love for their children. If he is really worried about his wife and children , then why didn’t you worry about it for the first 20 years or so, but then you said you were worried when you got a new love? If you are not fascinated by the beauty, I wonder if he and Li’s first wife will feel chilled after hearing what he said...
Cui Anhua didn't know what outsiders were saying. He happily told Jiang Wenyue the good news. Jiang Wenyue's eyes instantly turned red, and she threw herself into his arms with tears in her eyes, saying that he was really a good man who stood upright...
When Cui Anhua saw her tender and sweet look, he felt that staying in the capital was really worth it.
Since Cui Anhua will never leave Beijing again, Cui's mother will naturally have to take care of her son. Cui's mother is not happy that Jiang Wenyue is living too comfortably, so she agrees to come back, but she will have her daughter-in-law to serve her.
Cui's mother's spine was broken during the earthquake. Even after seeing the imperial doctor, she couldn't be completely cured. She was basically paralyzed in bed. One can imagine how difficult it would be for Jiang Wenyue to serve a paralyzed patient, not to mention Cui's mother also deliberately tormented her.
Cui Anhua, a careless and rough man, could not know the consequences of a bad relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Therefore, when he heard his mother say that he wanted his daughter-in-law to serve her, he did not think much about it. Instead, he happily thought that Cui's mother I no longer blame my wife, I do this to make up for the relationship between the two.
So he excitedly told Jiang Wenyue to ask her to take care of her mother, saying that this would allow her mother to see her virtuous and sensible side. After listening to his words, Jiang Wenyue could hardly keep the smile on her face. She had known for a long time that Cui's mother had resented her after she was paralyzed. She felt that it was only because of her delay that she was like this. But now she asked herself to take care of her. That was definitely not a good thing.
But as a daughter-in-law, she couldn't refuse, so she had to go there with a smile on her face. Sure enough, as soon as she arrived, Cui's mother started to torment her. She wanted to drink water, change clothes (to use the toilet), and then said that her feet were too stiff. Now, let her massage herself...
Jiang Wenyue was already delicate and frail, so after being tortured like this by Mother Cui, she was naturally exhausted. If she moved even a little slowly, Mother Cui would scold her, saying she disliked her and wished that she, an old woman, would die...
Jiang Wenyue was a mute eating Coptis chinensis and couldn't tell her the pain, so she could only continue to listen to her torture with tears in her eyes.
But Cui's mother couldn't wait for a few days, because on the fourth day, when Jiang Wenyue was helping Cui's mother bring water, she suddenly fainted and fell to the ground with a thud, which shocked Cui's mother.
The servants who heard the noise in the house came in quickly and saw the lady lying on the ground. They were so frightened that they hurriedly carried her out and sent people to find the doctor.
After Cui's mother was shocked, she immediately became angry again, because she felt that Jiang Wenyue was pretending to be fainted on purpose. She must not have wanted to take care of herself, so she came up with this way to escape.
Cui's mother knew her son very well. Knowing that Jiang Wenyue was "fainted from exhaustion", she would naturally not agree to let her come to serve her anymore. Cui's mother was so angry that she only called Jiang Wenyue a house disturber and a vixen.
Cui Anhua happened to return home and learned that Jiang Wenyue had fainted while serving her mother. He hurriedly called the doctor. After taking a pulse, the doctor smiled and said, "Congratulations, General, Madam is pregnant."
"What? Pregnant?" Cui Anhua asked worriedly, "My wife is not in good health. She is pregnant again this time. Can her body bear it?"
After the doctor asked for detailed information, he also felt that it was not good and said: "If the general's wife has just given birth to triplets, it is really not suitable for pregnancy. Ordinary women have to rest for one or two years to give birth to a child, let alone the general." Madam gave birth to three children at once? Then you need to pay extra attention..."
Just as he was saying this, Jiang Wenyue woke up. When she learned that she was pregnant again, her face suddenly turned pale: "Didn't you say that I hurt my body after giving birth to triplets and it was difficult to get pregnant again? Why did I get pregnant again so soon?"
"It stands to reason that it is really difficult to conceive, but maybe it was an accident?" the doctor said.
Jiang Wenyue thought about the situation of giving birth to triplets, and was filled with fear. She no longer cared about maintaining the kindness in front of Cui Anhua, and asked the doctor pleadingly: "Can I abort this baby?"
"Your health is not good. Even a miscarriage will be very harmful to your body." The doctor shook his head and said.
Jiang Wenyue suddenly felt despair, and Cui Anhua quickly comforted her.
After Jiang Wenyue became pregnant, she did not take care of Cui's mother. Cui's mother became even more interested in her when she saw her. When she learned that she was pregnant, she also thought that she was too scheming. She must have known that she was pregnant for a long time, but she was taking care of her. Pretending to be faint was definitely to ruin her goodwill in her son's heart, so Cui's mother found an opportunity to speak ill of her daughter-in-law to Cui Anhua. Over time, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became even worse. Cui Anhua was caught between the two women, and she was exhausted mentally and physically.
In the end, the fetus was kept because the doctor said that Jiang Wenyue's abortion might be more harmful to her body than giving birth to a child. If she took good care of her pregnancy, she might be able to maintain her health.
After that, Cui Anhua had to take care of his wife and mother, and also had to teach three young children. In addition, he also had official business, which made him dizzy.
In addition, he had to offer a reward to a folk miracle doctor, but the miracle doctor was not found. Instead, many quack doctors came to try their luck, and Cui Anhua was defrauded of a lot of money.
Originally, he and Liu Shichu had separated and had two separate families. However, Jiang Wenyue had lost a lot of money in the past two or three years, and now he had been deceived a lot, so Cui Anhua felt that he was short of money.
The two mistresses at home couldn't take care of the house, so he had to do it by himself. As soon as he got home, the servants came to him, asking him to handle everything, and asking him for money everywhere. He was pestered by these chores all day long, and he just felt exhausted. , it was more difficult than in Liangzhou. For a moment, he was in a daze. How could the life now not be as beautiful as he imagined? This is not the life he wants at all.
But no matter how exhausted he was, he could no longer be freed from this kind of life. He was no longer a majestic general in charge of a military force, but became a mediocre, fat middle-aged man who was riddled with trivial matters and was worried.
Although he was reborn once, he ended up living like a chicken. I don’t know if he ever regretted it.
As for Liu Shichu, she later left the capital to look for various exotic wines among the people. Qi Zhixi volunteered to lead the way for her, and the two of them walked together smoothly. How will their relationship change in the future? Who knows.
