Chapter 540: Full of Grievance
"Really...really pregnant?" Liao Fangyi jumped excitedly. Just when she was about to jump a second time, she was held down by the frightened Xia Zihan, "My aunt, please don't jump. Now, you’re not afraid of jumping him.”
"Hehe, I...I forgot about it when I was happy." Liao Fangyi stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, but became quiet.
Xia Zihan told Liao Fangyi's maid, "Go and tell your young master this good news."
After a moment, Zeng Yiran ran over with a smile on his face, staring at Liao Fangyi's belly with bright eyes, but said nervously, "It's almost three months, how do I know if you have any reaction, whether you are vomiting, or whether you are nauseous?" Not disgusting? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?”
I asked several questions in a row.
Liao Fangyi smiled broadly and said, "No, I don't feel anything. I just can eat and sleep better than before."
"Idiot, that's how a pregnant woman would react." Xia Zihan was so angry that she hit her on the head.
Liao Fangyi was used to being knocked by Xia Zihan, but it didn't matter. Zeng Yiran protected her daughter-in-law and said, "Chu Yu, your cousin is pregnant. From now on, you are not allowed to knock her head randomly, as it will shock her stomach." ”
Yes, Liao Fangyi is the biggest in the world now.
Xia Zihan watched depressedly as Zeng Yiran acted like a wife slave, carefully supporting Liao Fangyi and sitting on the kang, "The chair is hard, you sit on the kang, it's hot, put more cushions on it, it will be soft to sit on. ”
He asked the maid to bring a thick mat and give it to Liao Fangyi.
He personally took a big pillow and placed it behind Liao Fangyi, "Come on, be good, lie back and make yourself comfortable."
That gentle voice made Xia Zihan feel envious and jealous.
Liao Fangyi, on the other hand, had long been accustomed to Zeng Yiran's love for her. She looked like it was natural and made Xia Zihan envious to death.
After Mrs. Zeng learned the news, she was very happy and asked Su's mother to find a lot of medicinal materials from the warehouse and send them over.
When Su's mother came back, she hurriedly told her, "Let's see if Granny Zhang, who delivered Wenting's baby, is free. Let her finish the Lantern Festival and follow Brother Ran to Huaihua City so that she can take care of Fang." The girl’s body.”
"What the old lady said is that I will go to Mrs. Zhang's house right now to see if she is free." Mother Su said hurriedly.
Mrs. Zeng sighed, "If you do what I want, you can leave Fang girl in the capital. After she gives birth to the child, the child will be half a year old, and then go to Huaihuaicheng. But think about it, leaving Brother Ran alone." It's pitiful that there is no one to take care of him in Huaihuai City. If we arrange a roommate for him, Girl Fang will definitely be unhappy, and I can't do that either."
She had been married to Mr. Chu Ge for decades, and Mr. Chu Ge was surrounded by everything. There was not even a single girl with whom he lived, let alone any concubines.
She is the only one beside Mr. Chu Ge. She is better off than she has been at ease for decades. She can't be too old to cause trouble for the younger generation, right?
She is not an old fool.
After much deliberation, he decided to let Fang Yatou follow Zeng Yiran to Huaihuaicheng. Zeng Yiran was considerate and would always take good care of Fang Yatou.
Mother Su went to Mrs. Zhang's house. It happened that Mrs. Zhang was not at home and went to another family. The daughter-in-law of that family was due to give birth in April next year, only two months earlier than Liao Fangyi.
By then, it was too late.
When a woman is pregnant, she should hire a midwife before she is five months old. By the time she is seven months old, it will be too late.
As soon as Su's mother came back and told her, Mrs. Zeng decided to invite someone else.
Mother Su said, "Why don't you ask your in-laws? With so many children in the Liao family, there will always be a midwife who is familiar with them."
"You are still thoughtful," Mrs. Zeng said, "Then tell Brother Ran that he is going to the Liao family to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and ask Brother Ran to mention this to his mother-in-law."
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Mr. Zhuo brought the twins early to pay New Year greetings to Mr. Zeng.
Princess Qinghui and Chu Yuexi also went to the Second Prince's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings, and Zeng Yiran and Liao Fangyi also went to the Liao's house to pay New Year's greetings.
Mrs. Zeng didn’t want Liao Fangyi to go because she was afraid that something might happen if the road was slippery. But Liao Fangyi burst into tears and said she missed her mother, so Mrs. Zeng couldn’t stop her. She only told Zeng Yiran, “Keep an eye on Fang girl on the road.” , the carriage goes slower.”
Then he ordered the maid, "Put the carriage thicker so that Girl Fang can sit more comfortably, and light two more stoves so that Girl Fang doesn't get cold."
Looking very worried.
Not long after Zeng Yiran and Liao Fangyi left, Zeng Jing and Liao Jingtang arrived.
However, Xia Zihan saw that Zeng Jing's face did not look good, she was a little pale and weak, and she had also lost a lot of weight. It seemed that she was not doing well.
Moreover, they had been married for almost a year, and there was no news about Zeng Jing. Xia Zihan pulled her into his yard and took her pulse. Unexpectedly, he discovered that Zeng Jing's body was extremely weak.
"Did something happen to you? Why are your bones so weak?" Xia Zihan looked at her worriedly.
It was okay if she didn't ask, but once she asked, Zeng Jing couldn't hold it back any longer and burst into tears.
"Why are you crying? Did Liao Jingtang treat you badly?" Xia Zihan felt that this was impossible, but... besides Liao Jingtang, who else could make her feel angry?
"If you have any grievances, tell me. You are the legitimate daughter of the Zeng family. Even though you are marrying into the Liao family, you are not going to be bullied." Xia Zihan's voice softened when he saw her crying sadly. A few points.
Zeng Jing cried for a while, then wiped her tears and said, "My husband is very good to me. Really...he didn't bully me."
"Then why are your bones so weak? Like someone who has never had enough to eat?" Xia Zihan asked her.
Zeng Jing smiled bitterly, "Isn't it? Ever since I entered the Liao family and the day after I returned home, my grandmother asked me to learn how to serve my elders. I have no complaints about serving my elders. Really, I don't have a single complaint." , but..."
"Grandma seems to be doing it on purpose, deliberately trying to tease me."
"My grandmother asked me to get up at the beginning of the day every day, go to the kitchen to cook her favorite medicinal porridge, and then help her get up and wash up. After the others came to settle down in the morning and dusk, I would then wait for them to eat, but I...I didn't have time to eat. , I can only find time to take a sip of hot water.”
"After grandma has eaten, she has to go to eat immediately, even in winter. I have to accompany her every time. After she comes back, when grandma rests, I have to rub her shoulders. Even if she falls asleep, I will not let her stop. Once I stop, , woke up...and reprimanded me for serving insincerely, I...how could I be insincere?"
"These are all things that the younger generation has to do to serve the elders. I don't complain about anything. However, I have served from Yinshi to Haishi. I can't have a hot meal until Haishi. I... I don't know why my grandmother is doing this. For me, Cousin Chu Yu, I really don’t have any complaints against my elders. I’m just tired, so tired. My husband leaves early and comes home late every day. I don’t want to bother him because of this, so I didn’t tell him. I..."
Ever since they got married, Liao Jingtang has respected her very much and treated her very well. She always came back to the room very late every time, but he always thought that she was tired and would not let her wait on him to wash her feet, bathe, dress, etc. It's all his own doing.
Sometimes, he would also wait for her to wash her feet.
In bed, he was also very gentle to her, always caring about her feelings, making her feel like she was being held in the palm of his hand and pampered.
It was because of his kindness to her that she gritted her teeth and endured day by day.
Otherwise, she might not be able to support it long ago.
However, she still felt tired, as if she was always hungry, never had enough sleep, and always felt weak...
As Zeng Jing thought about it, she felt aggrieved, covered her face, and started to cry.
Xia Zihan's heart clenched tightly.
She had met the old lady of the Liao family many times. She was a sensible person. No matter how she looked at it, she didn't look like someone who would try to trick the grandson-in-law of the next generation.
Is there something going on in this?
If Mrs. Liao didn't like Zeng Jing, then the Liao family wouldn't have taken the initiative to come to the Chu house to propose marriage. Why should they treat her like this since she got married?
From Yinshi to Haishi, it is nine hours. Not to mention a delicate young lady like Zeng Jing, even any maid who is used to doing a lot of work can wait for people for nine hours without rest. If the time is long, the body and bones may not be able to bear it.
It's no wonder that in less than a year, Zeng Jing, who was originally strong, has deteriorated so much.
This matter cannot continue, otherwise, Zeng Jing is afraid that it will be over.
Xia Zihan turned the matter over in his mind and decided to tell Liao Jingtang about it. Zeng Jing was his wife and he should protect her. If he couldn't protect his wife, he was not worthy of being Zeng Jing's husband. .
"Cousin Jing, don't think too much about this matter. How should you serve and how can you serve after you go back?" Xia Zihan said, "Don't disobey your elders."
"Well, I know." Zeng Jing wiped her tears, "It's just easier for me to say it. Cousin Chu Yu, you...just pretend that I didn't say it and don't tell anyone."
"Well, but..." Xia Zihan rolled his eyes, "I'll make some pills, so you can swallow one before you go to serve Mrs. Liao tomorrow."
"What... what kind of pills?" Zeng Jing was a little panicked, not knowing what Xia Zihan was planning.
Xia Zihan patted her and said, "Don't worry, it's just for your body. You'll be fine if you eat it."
As for whether there is anything wrong, he is always there to help her.
Xia Zihan went to Old Man Bai's pharmacy. An hour later, she came out with a bottle of pills. She quietly gave them to Zeng Jing and told her, "Every time before you go to serve the old lady, take one secretly. Remember." Come on, if you want to change the current situation, you have to listen to me.”
Zeng Jing nodded ignorantly and secretly put away the medicine bottle.
While waiting for dinner, Zeng Jing felt a bitter taste in her heart when she learned that Liao Fangyi was pregnant. She had been married for almost a year, and their life as a couple was also harmonious. But after so long, there was no movement at all. , if she is pregnant with a child, will her grandmother treat her better?
