After taking a nap, Old Lady Yuan was in much better spirits.

  She saw Liang and Cui Rong walking into the house with smiles on their faces, she was delighted, smiling and beckoning the two daughters-in-law to come closer.

  She first asked what they had practiced at the Shangwu Hall, and seeing Cui Ying's sweaty clothes, she hurriedly told her to go wash up. "Hurry up and change into some clean clothes, it's freezing outside, be careful not to catch a cold."

  Cui Ling also felt that her wet clothes were uncomfortable on her skin, so she stuck out her tongue and said, "Then I'll go first."

  She walked quickly to the door, and when she turned around, she faintly heard Second Aunt's voice coming from inside, "Grandmother, I think after Third Brother and Fourth Brother's wife give birth, we should hurry up and choose an heir for the second household."

  "Mother, this time you can't favor your younger daughter again. You have to stand up for your daughter-in-law!"

  Cui Ying's heart sank slightly, and her footsteps slowed down.

  According to her previous idea, this trivial matter would naturally be avoided as much as possible.

  Don't get involved in trouble, this is her principle of doing things. Over the years, she has been able to live comfortably in the complex situation of Anning Bo's house, precisely because she never jumps into those messy things, not even getting close.

  But now, her sixth sense told her that the tranquil and peaceful General Town's mansion was about to welcome a storm in the backyard.

  The cause is the son, and the result is still unknown.

  But Cui Ling thought that if San Shu was still a boy, she would not be willing to let the newborn child be adopted by Er Fang.

  Otherwise she raises other people's children and sends her own away, what kind of thing is this.

  Fourth Aunt doesn't even need to be mentioned, they've been together for the longest time, Cui Ying understands Su Zi Hua's thoughts the most. If Fourth Aunt was willing to give up her own child, how could Qi Ge'er still be here today?

  This time, however, Second Aunt had made up her mind that she must bring a child back.

  The General who Guards the Country and the three brothers of the Yuan family are currently fighting in the northwest, engaging in close combat with the enemy. It is inevitable that they will think of the second brother of the Yuan family, who died a miserable death five years ago after being surrounded by the enemy. If someone were to ask them about their intentions, they would naturally agree to anything.

  But there is no way for the old lady who has the final say to gloss over this time either.

  Cui Ying anticipated that if this matter couldn't be resolved with a perfect solution, the tranquility of the Yuan family's rear residence would never be the same again.

  She had just fallen in love with this harmonious and beautiful atmosphere, what a mess, otherwise... she would have been done for?

  It's too cruel for her to ask San Shu and Si Shu to give up their own children out of humanitarian considerations, she can't do it.

  In a prosperous dynasty, people attach great importance to blood lineage and ancestral rites. Children recorded under the name of the second wife are not considered their own even if they can be seen every day.

  In the future, if we are separated and live in different houses, it will be hard to see each other, and brothers won't be very close either.

  Besides, after a hundred years, they can't inherit the incense. Where is there a nephew in a separate house who offers incense and paper to his aunt for worship?

  So if you want to persuade her, you can only think of a way from Er Sao's side.

  The second room has no children, and in the future, even the incense will not be inherited. Isn't it more pitiful?

  What a dilemma! What a predicament!

  Cui Ling was soaking in a hot bath, with wisps of steam rising like a white mist.

  She was lost in thought in the hazy mist, a vague idea slowly emerging from her mind.

  Never mind, after ten months of pregnancy, it will take some time for the two aunts to give birth to their children, no hurry... no hurry!

  After taking a hot bath, changing into clean clothes, and washing away the sweat stains on her body, Cui Ying felt as if she had also driven away the fatigue and soreness in her waist and legs, making her feel light as a swallow.

  She took a look at the time and it wasn't early, so she brought Mu Ge to the small kitchen first.

  Liu Shifu was preparing lunch when he saw Cui Ying arrive, and hastily put down the chopsticks in his hand to greet her with a "Hello, Fifth Aunt."

  "Hey, what's for lunch today?" Cui Ling asked with a smile.

  Liu Shifu presented a dish of freshly arranged "Embroidered Ball Perch" fish, saying, "I just finished preparing it and was about to take it out for steaming!"

  "He pointed to the stove and said, 'The old lady has poor teeth, so I made a dish of braised pork ribs with vermicelli. I removed the meat from the ribs, shredded it into threads, coated it with flour and stir-fried it."

  Cui Lingguang couldn't help but feel a little excited when she heard the name of the dish, her eyes shining brightly as she gazed at the pot, her depressed mood suddenly lifted.

  Liu Shifu whispered, "Old Tang has a friend who runs the sea in the south and came to Shengjing a few days ago. He brought some foreign seasonings for Old Tang, small and red, dry and shriveled, called chili pepper or something. Fifth Granny, take a look, is it that thing you mentioned last time?"

  He paused for a moment, looking pained, and said, "I took one bite, it was so spicy that I almost spat out my tongue."

  Liu Shifu said as he searched for a small box from the cupboard and opened it.

  Cui Ying exclaimed excitedly, "It's it, it's really it!"

  Although the red pepper in front of her was a bit flat and plump, and didn't look very elegant, she still recognized it at a glance.

  She happily held the small box in her hands, "It's almost lunchtime, Master Liu, you can start first, and I'll come over to talk to you about how to use this chili after I finish serving Old Lady's meal."

  No one in the Yuan family has ever eaten chili peppers. If they suddenly put a lot of spicy food, it would be unbearable. So, we should start with slightly spicy dishes and see if this flavor can be accepted, then gradually increase the spiciness step by step.

  She had to cook for the whole family when she was very young, and years of practice gave her a very beautiful culinary skill. After coming to Sheng Dynasty, she became a lady of Bo's mansion, but she has never had the chance to cook again.

  It used to be because of laziness and fear of trouble.

  But today is a good day for her to reunite with her beloved chili peppers, so she decides to cook some of her signature dishes herself.

  Grandma has high blood pressure, eat light food first, don't send it for now.

  A few aunts, Cui Ying decided to deliver the dishes in person. She vowed to make them into fellow foodies who can't live without spicy food like her, so she could ask her grandmother for help to find more chili peppers with a clear conscience!

  She was thinking beautifully when she suddenly saw the old lady's room's small door hastily coming to find her, "Fifth Granny! Fifth Granny!"

  Choi Yong poked his head out from the small kitchen door, "I'm here!"

  Xiao Ying stamped her foot excitedly, "Wu Nainai, I've finally found you!"

  She took two deep breaths, then continued, "The Anning Bo Fu has sent a nanny over, crying and wanting to see you. I don't know what's going on, but you should hurry back inside and take a look!"

  The old lady of Anning Bo Fu came crying to see her?

  Choi Yong was somewhat bewildered.

  If it were An Ning Bo Fu who messed things up, the Yuan family wouldn't have been able to not hear any rumors at all. Eldest brother goes to court every day, his information is more sensitive than anyone else's.

  If it's Mrs. Anning who is unwell, just send a message with a servant and that will do, why cry? When she returned to her parents' home three days ago, her grandmother was still fine, healthy and strong, it's impossible for something big to happen in such a short time.

  What exactly happened then?

  Cui Yingxiong was puzzled in her heart and hurriedly followed Xiao Ling back to the main hall.
