Chapter 179: Bringing Shuheng Back to Zhen Mansion for a Short Stay
The turmoil in the palace did not affect Yuyan, who was far away outside the palace walls. At this moment, her heart was full of joy after giving birth.
"Sister Yuyan, I'm here again. Auntie brought you a lot of fun things. Come and show me our cute little Shuheng."
Shuheng is the newly born little boy of the Wen family. Before he was born, the Wen family had already chosen a name for the upcoming little boy or little girl and was waiting for his (her) arrival.
"Yu Rao, you've been running around all day. If mother knew, she would scold you."
Yuyan looked at Yurao who was jumping into the house and said something to her in a doting tone.
When Zhen's mother came to visit her before, she complained to her that Yu Rao didn't look like a girl at all. She couldn't sit still all day long and had no interest in music, chess, calligraphy or painting. She only liked things that boys liked. This made Zhen's mother very worried, but she couldn't bear to say more. With two older sisters spoiling her, she was becoming more and more out of control.
"Oh, mother knows that whenever I leave the house, it's to my sister's place, so she won't say anything. Sister Yuyan, you don't know, but mother is actually very envious of me. Yesterday, mother said that seeing me see our little Shuheng all day long, she has figured it out. If she wasn't afraid that the mistress of a family would always run back to the in-laws' house and cause others to criticize her, she would definitely come with me."
Although Zhen's mother had become a grandmother early on, Zhen Huan's children were raised in the palace after all, so they couldn't see them whenever they wanted. Now that Yuyan had another child, Zhen's mother was naturally very happy to see how well-behaved he was.
"If mother misses Shuheng, she can come here anytime. We have our own life to live. Why should we care about what others say?"
Yuyan is becoming more and more clear-headed now. In her heart, nothing is more important than her family's thoughts.
"Your brother-in-law also told me before that when Shuheng grows up, if I miss home, I can take Shuheng back to the Zhen Mansion to stay for a few days. If mother doesn't mind, I will go back and bother you all the time."
Speaking of this, Yuyan's face was full of happiness. She knew that she had not chosen the wrong person. After marriage, Wen Shichu treated her very well and always cared about her thoughts.
Nowadays, which man from an aristocratic family doesn't have a few beauties in his backyard? Even ordinary people have three wives and four concubines. But Wen Shichu told her very sincerely that he would never let her down in this life, and no other woman would enter the mansion to add to her troubles. Now that she has given birth to the eldest grandson of the Wen family, her parents-in-law will not make things difficult for her with regard to having children.
"Sister Yuyan, is it true? Can you really go back home and stay for a while? That would be great. Mother will definitely be very happy when she finds out."
As for the saying that a woman cannot return to her parents' home to live for a long time after marriage unless there are special circumstances, no one in the Zhen family would take it seriously. Zhen's father and mother would rather have more people in the house to make it lively.
"I have to hurry home now and tell my parents about this so they can be happy. Also, my mother has always had the house where Sister Yuyan lived before she got married cleaned up on time, but now that Shuheng is here, there will definitely be some more things for the children."
After saying that, she quickly got up and ran out, without even hearing Yuyan's shouting behind her.
"Hey, hey, Yurao, you're leaving right after you arrived. You can talk to me later when you go back, Yuyan..."
Looking carefully outside the house, there was no sign of Yu Rao. Yu Yan shook her head helplessly and laughed.
Fortunately, the distance between Zhen Mansion and Wen Mansion was not too far, so Yu Rao ran back happily without feeling too tired.
"Father, Mother."
"Father, Mother, I'm back."
Yu Rao walked into the house without looking at the two elders, and then walked into the yard again.
"Miss Third, didn't you just go to the Wen Mansion? How come you're back so soon?"
The housekeeper was very surprised when he saw Yu Rao. He remembered that the third young lady had just left the mansion not long ago. How come she came back so soon? Normally, once she went to the Wen Mansion, she would not come back until dark. Zhen's mother even joked many times that she should stay in the Wen Mansion and accompany Shu Heng well.
"Uncle Fu, I need to find my parents. Where are they?"
"The master and his wife are in the backyard, they..."
"Uncle Xie Fu, I understand. I'll go find them."
Yu Rao couldn't wait a moment and ran over immediately after learning the location of Zhen's father and mother.
"Father, Mother."
"Yu Rao, why are you back? According to the time, you should have just arrived at the Wen Mansion not long ago. Did you go out too often and your sister Yu Yan kicked you out?"
Zhen's mother teased her little daughter, saying that if someone didn't know her, they would think that Wen Mansion was her home, as she could not be found in Zhen Mansion all day long.
"Oh, mother, don't worry about these details. I have something good to tell you."
Yu Rao didn't care about the complaints in Zhen's mother's words. She took Zhen's mother's hand in one hand and Zhen's father's hand in the other, and brought them back to the house. She carefully told the two elders what Yu Yan had said to her before.
As she expected, Zhen's mother was very excited when she heard the news.
"Really? Did the Wen family really say that? That's great! Shuheng can come back and stay for a while. I really miss him so much."
"No, there are no toys for children in Yuyan's room. I'll have someone buy some, as well as Yuyan's favorite food. All of these need to be prepared."
Zhen's mother could no longer sit still and wanted to get busy. As soon as she stood up, she was stopped by Zhen's father.
"Madam, please don't be anxious. Didn't Yu Rao also say that we should wait until Shu Heng is older. It's too early for you to prepare these things now."
When Zhen's father saw that Zhen's mother now sincerely accepted Yuyan, he was naturally very moved. He knew that he was sorry for his wife in this matter. He thought it was good enough that Zhen's mother could be okay on the surface, but he didn't expect that the relationship between mother and daughter was getting deeper and deeper. He turned around and secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes when no one was paying attention.
"Alright, Master, I understand. I was so happy that I forgot the date. Well, it's not impossible to come to the Zhen Mansion now. We can also hire the best wet nurses and wet nurses here."
Of course, Zhen's mother could only think about this. After all, the Wen family also treated Shuheng as a treasure and were reluctant to let him go.
"Yu Rao, look at your two sisters. It goes without saying that your eldest sister married into the palace. Now your sister Yu Yan is married into the Wen family and is very happy. She also has her own child. Your life is getting more and more promising. You are not a child anymore. If there is someone you like, you can tell your mother and she will look after you."
Yu Rao is the only unmarried daughter in the Zhen Mansion, and this is the last thing on Zhen's mother's mind. This daughter is too determined, and she doesn't want to force her to marry, but...
"Oh, mother, I'm still young, there's no need to rush. I'll definitely tell you when I find someone I like. As soon as I heard the news from the Wen Mansion, I hurried back to tell my parents. I haven't seen Shuheng yet, I'll go see him again."
When Yu Rao heard Zhen's mother mention her marriage, she was frightened and ran out quickly.
Life is so good now, she doesn't want to get married.
"This child ran away as soon as I said this to her."
Zhen's mother seemed to be accustomed to Yu Rao's behavior.
