Chapter 498 She's Just Sick

"Wenhao, don't blame your mother, she is just sick."

Jiang Wan thought about how dangerous it was for Madam Chen to give birth, so after arriving in the city, she was the one who took care of everything at home.

Chen Ce is very busy every day, busy handling official business and busy whitewashing the Chen family.

Perhaps this is why Mrs. Chen gradually developed postpartum depression.

Judging from the situation, it is no longer a mild symptom.

"Is mom sick?"

Chen Wenhao's eyes were filled with moisture, "No wonder, mother always said that my sister and I were her treasures.

Recently, she has been staring at her sister in strange ways, and sometimes I worry that she will throw her sister to the ground. "

"Wenhao, your mother is very tired raising you two children alone."

Jiang Wan raised her hand and gently rubbed the top of his head, "It's because life has gotten better recently that your father bought a maid to help.

You should be more considerate of your mother. Auntie will help your mother find out where she is sick. If she is sick, she will get better by taking medicine."

"Thank you, auntie."

Chen Wenhao nodded sensibly. He saw his mother coming out of the corner of his eye. He quickly wiped away his tears and forced a smile.

"I really like the snacks that my aunt brought."

He was holding an oil-paper bag in his hand, and just as he opened it, it was snatched away by Madam Chen.

"Did you thank Auntie?"

The tone was a bit fierce, and her temper seemed to be a little short-tempered.

"Thank you, auntie."

Chen Wenhao felt a little aggrieved, but when he thought that his mother was sick, he swallowed his sadness.

"Okay, Wenhao, go play with your sister."

Jiang Wan sent Chen Wenhao away, and soon only she and Mrs. Chen were left.

Madam Chen lowered her eyes slightly and placed a cup of tea in front of Jiang Wan.

"Princess, this is the tea I just made for you. It's a little shabby here, but everything is clean."

Hearing the caution and humility in her tone, Jiang Wan sighed:

"Sister, if I disliked you, why would I personally deliver your baby?"

This one sentence froze the expression on Mrs. Chen's face, and she looked stunned.

"Sister, you are sick."

Jiang Wan's tone was very certain. She grabbed Chen Niang's hand and felt her pulse.

After a few breaths, she looked at her seriously, "Bad temper, low self-esteem, sensitive, suspicious and insomniac..."

"Wan Wan, what's wrong with me?"

Madam Chen burst into tears after hearing what Jiang Wan said, "You are right, I was so happy when Wen En was born.

But as time goes by, why do I feel that life is so difficult?

My husband is very busy every day. I have to worry about Wenhao and Wenen. I haven't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

After I came to the capital, my life became much better, but when I went out, the wives of my husband’s colleagues said that I couldn’t keep men like this.”

Madam Chen covered her face and said, “Yes, I am fat and ugly now, and I am really not worthy of him.

But when I think about him taking a concubine, I feel so sad, obviously..."

When she spoke the last part, Mrs. Chen burst into tears, obviously she had been suppressing her tears for a long time.

Jiang Wan gently held Chen Niangzi in her arms, "Sister, it will be better if you cry."

"Wanwan."

Madam Chen's voice was a little hoarse, "Actually, I don't want to, but I always can't help but think about it.

I was wondering why my husband came home late. Was he really busy with work or did he go to a fireworks display venue?

I was even afraid to go out, afraid that others would look at me in strange ways, even though I used to be the object of others’ envy.”

"I understand. I understand."

Jiang Wan patted her back gently and said, "Sister, giving birth is a life-threatening experience for women.

During pregnancy, the hormones in the body are disrupted, and recovery is a process. You are obviously anxious. "

In fact, Mrs. Chen was not fat when she had just given birth to her child. Her current appearance is probably caused by several disorders after depression.

Madam Chen openly expressed her displeasure, and finally said to Jiang Wan:

"Wanwan, I really don't know what to do."

"It's okay, I'll help you."

Jiang Wan smiled encouragingly at her, "Aren't you worried that others would say you are fat?

I will help you change yourself and bring you back to your former graceful figure.

I'll also prescribe some medicine for you so you can sleep better at night.

As for the child, you can leave it to the servants and find something you like to do, such as what did you like to do most in the past?"

She also prescribed some antidepressant medication.

Hearing this, Madam Chen recalled the past days in her mind, “I used to…love reading the most.

I also like to embroider things. My husband likes the clothes I make the most. I also plant flowers and plants occasionally. "

"Then continue to do this."

Jiang Wan thought of the hardships they had gone through along the way, "I'll teach you how to exercise so that you can lose weight."

"Thank you, Wanwan."

Madam Chen said to Jiang Wan gratefully, "Actually, I can feel it.

My husband used to give in to me in everything, but ever since I started to be suspicious and often get angry for no reason, his eyes are filled with sadness. "

She thought, maybe he didn't want to face her being so depressed.

"It's okay, it will all pass."

Jiang Wan comforted her softly, saying that at least Chen Ce did not take a concubine, which meant that his wife was still very important to him.

It's just that he didn't know that she was sick, so she felt pain sometimes.

Jiang Wan taught Chen Niangzi a set of exercises to lose weight and prescribed some medicine.

Before leaving, she also told Chen Wenhao that if Mrs. Chen's mood changed too much, he could come to her.

Depression is not so easy to cure and requires the company and understanding of family members.

So when she returned home, Jiang Wan wrote a letter to Song Jiuyuan, hoping that Chen Ce could hand over the matters at hand to other people.

And he came back to help Madam Chen with her treatment.

Jiang Wan always kept this matter in mind, but soon she became busy.

On the day the ice shop opened, Jiang Wan got up early in the morning, washed and dressed, put on a veil and set off.

This time Jiang Wan brought Lu Shui, and Qiu Niang also put on a veil and went to check separately from her.

After all, Qiu Niang has been with Jiang Wan too many times, and Jiang Wan doesn't want too many people to know that she is the boss behind the scenes.

The wheels of the carriage rumbled along the street and soon arrived at the shop chosen by Qiu Niang.

The name of this shop is Warm in Winter and Cool in Summer. It has two floors, the second floor is the private room and the first floor is the lobby.

When they arrived, many people had already come to the shop and the shop assistants were busy as a bee.

Many servants were queuing outside to buy ice. They were nobles from every household in the city.

There were also quite a few people sitting in the lobby drinking iced drinks.

It seems that Qiu Niang's business skills are becoming more and more powerful, and Jiang Wan is very satisfied.

She leisurely found a seat and sat down, and asked Lushui to order a glass of lemonade and a cup of milk tea.

The two of them sat near the window and had a clear view of the situation on the first floor.

Qiu Niang also came to the shop. She was wearing a veil and was asked by the shopkeeper to go to the second floor where she had the best view to observe the situation.

"Sir, your drink."

A servant placed a cold drink in front of Jiang Wan, and Jiang Wan took a sip.

The taste is not bad. It seems that the person Qiu Niang found has good learning ability.
