News in the mansion spreads quickly, even Qi You who rushed back for dinner had heard.

  Fortunately, they were in a hurry and had dinner at the main house. Otherwise, Hua Ru would have been asked by people from various rooms before being questioned by Qi You.

  The two of them arrived together, and after a round of greetings, it was already time for their usual meal. Hua Ru Chun followed behind the two elderly people as she did every day, waiting for the dishes to be served.

  Recalling the rumors in the mansion, the old lady turned around and looked at her, saying: "No need for anyone to serve us today, Yu'er's wife, you can sit down too."

  "Grandma, don't worry about your grandson's wife, taking care of you is her duty."

  "Grandma knows you're a filial child, but after all, your body is what's most important. Grandma is still waiting to hold her great-grandchild, so for the next few days, just take it easy and don't come over early or late to serve me. Grandma's eyes aren't blurry, she can see that the food from Hebei doesn't agree with your stomach, every time you only eat half a bowl of rice. For this period of time, just let your maid serve you in the courtyard, take it slow, you're still young and have strong adaptability, I'm sure you'll be able to adjust soon."

  It's come to this, and if Hua Ru Chus refuses again, it would only make people dislike her. It's better to just agree for now, take a break for two days, and then continue working afterwards.

  "Granddaughter-in-law thanks grandmother for understanding."

  Qishen couldn't bear to see someone using a flattering face to take advantage, just like Qilin. Looking at her clever and cute appearance made him even more displeased. He spoke sarcastically, "You've only been married for a few days and you already have so many problems. How will you serve Yu'er in the future? I think it's better if you let Yu'er take on several concubines to share your burden."

  Hua Ru Chu deliberately put on a slightly thicker makeup today to conceal her overly good complexion, but in other people's eyes, it was as if she used heavy makeup to cover up her haggardness. At this moment, upon hearing such words, her already pale face seemed to turn even paler, and she trembled with her lips, saying: "Third Aunt, Ru Chu... Ru Chu has never been away from home for so long, and misses Father and Mother, it's not that her body is unwell. Moreover, her husband already has three concubines, Ru Chu thinks that there's no need to raise the status of the madam temporarily."

  As if she hadn't seen the different expressions on everyone's faces, Hua Ru Chu paid her respects to the elderly lady with a gentle bow and said softly: "Grandmother, your grandson's wife is fine, no need to worry."

  The old lady gave Qi Shen a sideways glance, and in front of everyone, she said such words, isn't that offending the whole Da Fu? Didn't you see even the eldest son changed his expression?

  "Don't bother with your third aunt, she's just a firecracker, making a big fuss for a moment and then nothing's left. You'd better stay in the house for a few days, this is what grandma has decided, no one can find any fault with it. Who doesn't have parents? Is it wrong to miss them? Third aunt, when your daughter gets married and moves to another province, do you hope she won't think of you at all? If people don't even have feelings, what's the point of being human?"

  Qishen's face changed greatly, and she subconsciously looked at her nine-year-old daughter. If she were to marry so far away...

  No way, this is absolutely impossible, what's the difference between this and losing a daughter?

  As soon as she thought of this, Qi Shen's face turned white, the handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a rope, and her head was dizzy. Just wanting to apologize to her mother-in-law, she hadn't stood up yet and had already fainted.

  Qī wǎn rán yǎn jí shǒu kuài de bǎ rén jiē zhù, yīn tā gāngcái zuǐ kuài yǐn qǐ de bù mǎn quán diū zài le nǎo hòu, "fū ren, fū ren……"

  Translation:

  Qin Wanran quickly caught the person, and her earlier dissatisfaction was completely forgotten. "Madam, madam..."

  No one had expected things to turn out this way, Hua Ru Chu stood there with a flustered expression as if she was about to cry, "Is it... is it that I offended Third Aunt? I, I didn't do it on purpose..."

  The old lady couldn't help but comfort him, shouting repeatedly: "Qifu, Qifu, hurry up and invite the doctor to come."

  "Madam, I've already gone to invite him." Shuang Ji hurried over from outside after taking a glance.

  "Alright, take the three daughters-in-law to the inner room and have them lie down. You stay with them. Old Master, you must be hungry by now. Everyone else, stop standing around and let's eat."

  The old man who had been keeping his eyes closed and ignoring all this finally opened them, scanned the room, and said, "Serve the meal."

  "Yes."

  "Qi Wu's anger was about to erupt, but he could only swallow it back. Looking at his daughter-in-law still standing there with a resentful expression, he wondered how the Huas had raised their daughter. As the daughter of the Wulin Alliance leader, she should have more poise. His not-yet-extinguished anger suddenly flared up again and he snapped at her, 'What are you still standing there for? Didn't you hear Old Madam tell you to sit down?'"

  Hua Ru looked at the old lady, who waved her hand and felt very uncomfortable. She fainted here and didn't know what would happen if others found out. It's better for the Shen family not to think wildly.

  Lowered his head and walked over to Qi You's side, sat down, and winked at Qi You who was looking over.

  Qī Yòu's clenched fist finally relaxed, earlier, he really thought he saw a weak daughter-in-law being bullied by her elders, and was angry at Sān Shěn's overbearing attitude, angry at his mother's unjust anger, but he couldn't do anything about it.

  If he speaks up for her, who knows how his mother will treat her in the future.

  Fortunately, they are all fake, weakness is fake, injury is fake, sadness is fake, but the grievances suffered are real.

  This dinner was almost a waste for everyone except the old master, who hastily ate some and put down his chopsticks, waiting for the doctor's arrival.

  Although they all say words of concern, in Hua Ru's opinion, what they really want is to watch the excitement.

  "Dr. Sun has arrived."

  The old lady jumped up and said, "Sun Daifu, come quickly and take a look at my daughter-in-law. She suddenly fainted here and I was startled."

  Sun Daifu had been diagnosing for the Qi Mansion for over a decade, and their relationship was quite close. After exchanging pleasantries, he said: "You should take care of yourself, Third Madame has always been in good health, I don't think there's anything to worry about. I'll go take a look."

  "Shuang Ji, take Sun Daifu inside."

  "Yes."

  Inside, there were whispers at first, then after a moment of silence, Qi suddenly heard Yu Ruo Chen's loud shout, "What did you say?"

  The old lady thought something big had happened and hurriedly got up and went into the house. "How is San Sao? What's wrong with her?"

  Qī wǎn rán dèng zhe yǎn jing, liǎn shàng de xǐ sè yǎn duō yǎn bù zhù, "niáng, Sūn dà fū shuō fū rén yǒu le shēn yùn, zhè, Sūn dà fū, nín shì bu shì zhěn cuò le? Dōu zhè me duō nián méi huái shàng guò le, zěn me tū rán jiù……"

  Sun didn't get angry even though he was suspected, and smiled: "I've taken a close look, it's indeed a joyful pulse, congratulations to Third Master."

  "Good, good, great, wonderful!" Qi Ruan was so excited that he didn't know what to do, only knowing how to smile foolishly. He and Madam Shen had been married for 14 years and had only one daughter, who was born five years after their marriage. Since then, there had been no more good news. His concubines had given birth to three sons, but there was a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. In his heart, he always had a hint of regret. He thought that this life would not have a legitimate son, but unexpectedly, the heavens gave him such a big surprise.

  The old lady was also happy, and seeing the appearance of her third son, she didn't expect much from him. She turned to Sun Daifu and said, "Third daughter-in-law is not young either, are there any places that need attention?"

  "It's not easy for you to get pregnant, Madam. Your body is cold in nature, so even if you do get pregnant, it's easy to miscarry. Therefore, the first three months are crucial and require careful attention. It would be best for you to rest quietly and avoid any strenuous activities. I think your body is quite weak, so it would be good to nourish yourself more. If Master has time, he should accompany you more often, as a happy mood is better than any tonic. Also, it's not advisable to share the same bed during these months. Later, I'll prescribe a fetal protection formula for you to take for a period of time."

  "Alright, alright, I've taken note of everything. Qi Fu, you'd better reward me with some money, and personally accompany Sun Daifu to fetch the medicine back."

  "Yes, madam, Mr. Sun invites you."
