Although Zhan Yuanning has always said that he does not care about the name of his eldest grandson, the smile on his face is obviously forced out. As a man in this era, it is impossible not to care about whether he has children, but he is still a reliable man. Thinking of giving birth to a legitimate son with his wife first and then having a concubine, the family can live in peace. Otherwise, if the concubine is much older than the legitimate son, it is very likely to cause trouble in the future.
It is precisely because of this that Chen did not allow his concubines to have children until he gave birth to a legitimate son. However, he has become a little anxious in the past two years. He does not know how long he can hold on, and he has been looking for doctors much more frequently. The couple was exhausted over the matter of having a child. The reason why Chen was so haggard was not only because of her diet, but also because she drank too many tonics and lost her appetite.
While several people were talking, Mrs. Chen kept sitting in the corner with her head lowered, very embarrassed. People in the world would blame women for not being able to have children. She has not been able to give birth to children in these years, and her psychological pressure is more than Everyone was older, and her eyes turned green in anticipation of the child. She even thought about letting her concubines give birth. She really couldn't bear the pressure anymore, but Zhan Yuanning didn't agree, so she had to continue to endure it. .
Yuan Shichu sat opposite her, and could faintly hear her suppressed sobs, and the way she wiped her tears with her handkerchief from time to time, which made her embarrassed, so Yuan Shichu had to pretend not to notice.
It's just... At the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, he couldn't help but cast his eyes on the golden nan bracelet worn by Mrs. Chen on her right hand. Each bead on that bracelet was as big as a woman's thumb, and all of them were round and transparent. , with amber fluorescence, it is obviously a precious and beautiful nanmu bracelet.
It's just that what attracted Yuan Shichu's attention was not its preciousness and beauty, but its faintly strange fragrance. The golden nanmu itself has its own fragrance, but the fragrance of the bracelet worn by Chen is other than the fragrance of nanmu. , there are other fragrances, but they are not the spices used by Chen himself. Doesn't this make her feel strange?
"Sister-in-law, this nanmu bracelet of yours is so beautiful. Can you lend it to me to have a look?" Yuan Shichu asked Chen in a low voice.
Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment when she heard Yuan Shichu's words, but she didn't refuse. She took it off and handed it to Yuan Shichu, saying in a hoarse voice: "Take a look."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Yuan Shichu thanked her, then took the bracelet and observed it carefully. She touched the beads on the bracelet, which were smooth and soft, and felt warm and comfortable to the touch. After touching them, she put the bracelet in front of her nose and smelled it carefully. After sniffing it, I smelled several mixed smells. This time the smell was so subtle that it would be almost impossible for someone with a sensitive sense of smell like her to smell it.
As a former miracle doctor and incense-making master with rich knowledge of spices and medicinal materials, she could immediately smell the source of these smells, and immediately understood the reason why Chen was infertile despite being married for many years— — Wearing a powerful contraceptive bracelet all day is not normal if you can get pregnant.
"Sister-in-law, where did you buy this bracelet?" Yuan Shichu asked Chen.
"I didn't buy it, it was a wedding gift from my eldest cousin. I liked it very much and kept wearing it." Ms. Chen thought that Yuan Shichu had taken a fancy to her bracelet, but she didn't want to give it to Yuan Shichu. , and quickly told the origin of this bracelet.
"Does your eldest cousin have a grudge against you?" Yuan Shichu asked again abruptly.
After hearing this, Mrs. Chen's face changed greatly, and she looked at Yuan Shichu angrily and said, "Second brother and sister! I have not offended you, have I? Why do you want to sow discord between me and my eldest cousin? When I was young, my eldest cousin He has always taken good care of me, and now even though we are married, we still keep in touch. You ask me, what peace of mind do I have with this sentence?"
She was probably too angry, so she inevitably spoke louder, which immediately attracted the attention of Mrs. Zhan and the three brothers Zhan Yuanning.
Zhan Yuanning quickly smoothed things over and said, "Ms. Chen, why did you quarrel with your second brother and sister?"
Mrs. Chen's eyes suddenly turned red and she said, "It's not that I have to quarrel with my second sibling. It's really that she is so shameless that she actually provoked a relationship between me and my eldest cousin. It's not like you don't know that my eldest cousin has always been very good to me... "
As soon as she said this, everyone immediately looked at Yuan Shichu. Zhan Shulin frowned and asked Yuan Shichu in a low voice: "Yuan family, what's going on?"
Yuan Shichu saw these people looking vaguely displeased with him, and immediately he didn't want to tell Mrs. Chen the secret of this bracelet. They had a deep love for sisters, and he had become the one who stirred up trouble. Now It's so noisy that no one is human inside or outside...
I am just an outsider, what does it have to do with whether others can have children? She is not a good person who repays evil with kindness. When she thought about it, she apologized: "I was too arrogant and talked nonsense. Sister-in-law, please forgive me this time. I will be careful in my words and deeds in the future."
She apologized so neatly that it was hard for others to say anything. Upon seeing this, Mrs. Chen said generously: "My sister-in-law is still young. For the sake of your apology, I won't argue with you. But this time Because we are a family, I will easily forgive you, but if you are still so open-minded outside, you don't know who you will offend, and you don't know what trouble it will bring to your second brother and even our family. …”
Yuan Shichu suddenly rolled his eyes in his heart. Good guy, this woman was still immersed in the pain of infertility just now. I finally felt pity for her and wanted to help her solve the problem, but she misunderstood him. Forget it now. Seizing the opportunity, she immediately gave everyone her own eye drops, so she decided to hide the secret of this nanmu bracelet for a longer time.
She was asking for it if she couldn't give birth to a child. No wonder she had a headache at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. She loved to care about everything. If anyone made her unhappy, she would certainly not make that person happy, so Chen continued to worry about infertility. Suffering from infertility!
"Ms. Yuan, your sister-in-law is right. You can't speak so openly in the future. It's okay to offend family members, but if you offend people outside who can't afford to offend, then our whole family will be implicated." Mrs. Zhan looked serious. Earth teaches the Tao of the Yuan Dynasty.
Yuan Shichu immediately admitted her mistake very quickly. For people she didn't care about at all, she didn't care what they said, so even though Mrs. Zhan and Mrs. Chen lectured her, she didn't take it to heart at all. , apologizing and acknowledging her mistake all at once. When others saw her admitting her mistake so "sincerely", it was hard for them to say anything.
If it were an ordinary new daughter-in-law who had been taught such a lesson by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, she would definitely feel panicked and not know what to do. She might even try to find ways to please her mother-in-law and sister-in-law and let them recognize her again. .
But Yuan Shichu was not an ordinary new daughter-in-law. She had a strong heart, and because of Chen's incident, she felt that she was just a bystander, and she didn't care about other people's opinions at all.
