Chapter 256: I can’t see Zhu Yunwei being wronged

"There are only a few people in this house, so who could possibly enter your room? I'm such an old man, I had to work so hard to get you out of the tub, and he still suspected me. I was so angry that I almost kicked him out!"

As Aunt Xiao was talking, she became really angry. She pursed her lips and muttered:

"The next day, he came to rescue you, blind as he was. He couldn't see at all when he walked, and he fell down right after he entered. His arm hit the chair and he almost broke it. Tell me, wasn't it torture?

"To be honest, I do have some courage. In the end, I gritted my teeth and carried you back home. The truth is, the medicinal bath recipe I prepared for you was quite strong and effective in inducing sleep. Normally, I wouldn't recommend using this recipe, for fear of complaints from the family members. Feng Shuo did a pretty good job in this regard."

"That night, it was my old lady who took the initiative and asked Xiao Zhang to run to the woods to call back the eldest brother and his wife, and to quickly have Ye Zi give Feng Shuo an acupuncture treatment to prevent any delay.

"Yesterday afternoon, I noticed his eyes were already clearing up before it got dark, so I guessed his condition had worsened. That's why I told you to take a bath early so he could carry you out any way he wanted while it was still light. But who knew the weather wouldn't cooperate, with lightning and thunder, which made you overthink things and caused such a big mistake..."

Aunt Xiao finished speaking in one breath, and Zhu Yunying couldn't calm down for a long time.

It turned out that so many things happened in the yard in just a few days.

She looked at Aunt Xiao, who was already a little old, and thought about how she had taken great pains to treat and nurse her back to health. She not only prescribed medicines for her but also took care of her personally. Thinking about it now, she felt ashamed.

This is an age when he should be enjoying a peaceful and happy family life, but he has to do heavy physical work.

She knew she was pregnant with twins recently and had gained a lot of weight. She felt ashamed and held Aunt Xiao's hand and said, "Aunt, thank you for your concern."

"...Why bother! Your mother saved my life. I can't repay your mother, so naturally I have to treat you like the apple of my eye. It's a pity that the men of my Xiao family... don't have this luck, otherwise I could have snatched a childhood marriage."

Having said that, Zhu Yunyao quickly stopped talking: "Grandma, please don't say that. Ye Zi will be unhappy if she hears it."

Before Aunt Xiao could answer, Ye Zi came over with an acupuncture needle.

"Hahaha! I'm not unhappy." Ye Zi smiled. "If that wooden lump in my family can really catch the Zhu family's eye, he must be quite capable! Everyone knows how powerful the old man of the Zhu family in Haicheng is!"

Ye Zi was quite proud: "The material of the dress I wore at my wedding was bought by a relative from the Zhu family's fabric factory in Haicheng. I never saved it and only wore it for my wedding! It's so beautiful."

"Hahaha."

Zhu Yunying smiled along and breathed a sigh of relief.

The three women talked and laughed, and Zhu Yunying's mood gradually calmed down.

On this day, Feng Shuo regained some consciousness and his eyes moved more frequently.

In Aunt Xiao's words, he was dreaming, which meant that his brain was not broken and could still be used.

It is also much more convenient to feed medicine soup, and it flows less from the corners of the lips.

Near dusk, Ye Zi came to ask Zhu Yunying if she would like to take a medicinal bath.

Zhu Yunying declined politely.

Aunt Xiao gave her a prescription so that she could make it herself when she returned to Beijing.

"I told Feng Shuo before that there are special requirements for this water and firewood. You must stay here for a few more days. Actually, I also want to wait for Ye Zi to come back and give him acupuncture to treat his eyes."

Aunt Xiao had good intentions, and Zhu Yunying was moved to tears.

"I will definitely use the medicine properly when I get back. Aunt, you are so kind to us."

Aunt Xiao sighed, "Not only your mother, but Old Madam Feng was also very kind to me. There were a few years when it was difficult to sell our medicinal herbs, and she contacted someone to collect them along with the herbs collected by other households in the village."

"So that's how it is."

Zhu Yunwei sighed.

"Do you think I'm not as kind to Feng Shuo as I am to you?"

When Aunt Xiao asked that, Zhu Yunying remembered that she had always called a junior "Captain Feng", so she nodded.

It was still early, and Aunt Xiao pulled Zhu Yunying outside, saying that they were going to see what her uncle and Boss Xiao had come back for, but in fact they walked to a secluded corner and dropped a big bomb.

"Yun Wei, I wanted to keep it a secret at first. But now that things have come to this, I won't hide it anymore."

Aunt Xiao patted the back of Zhu Yunyao's hand and said with lingering fear:

"The men in the Xiao family have a genetic disease, and they haven't had sons for several generations, so everyone has forgotten about it. But my eldest brother fell ill, and Ye Zi had just married into the family. My blocky nephew tried to persuade Ye Zi to remarry. Ye Zi refused. Then the smart guy said that it was okay not to remarry, but she must not have children, for fear that they would be a burden to Ye Zi in the future. If she really wanted to have children, she should find another man..."

Aunt Xiao paused and said, "Ye Zi almost blew his head off that day."

Zhu Yunwei's eyes widened, and she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

But soon, she heard Aunt Xiao explain, "Since Feng Shuo arrived, besides having some eye problems, I've discovered he seems to have... a childless disease. It's also my fault for staying in this village all day. My mind isn't very flexible, so I immediately assumed he and my nephew, Mumu, had the same bad idea. Aunt Xiao is worried you've been wronged."

Zhu Yunwei was speechless: "..."

This is not a matter of being wronged or not.

Instead, he never thought that the relationship between him and Feng Shuo would be like this in the eyes of Aunt Xiao.

It would be a lie to say that I don't care.

But doctors are kind-hearted, and Aunt Xiao is also concerned about herself and feels sorry for herself, so she is suspicious of Feng Shuo and has a bad attitude towards him.

For a moment, Zhu Yunwei felt mixed emotions.

She asked, "Grandma, is Feng Shuo really childless? Is it possible that he and I are just a good match, making it easier for us to get pregnant?"

"It's not impossible. Matters between men and women, especially conceiving a child, always depend on chance." Aunt Xiao was obviously relieved. "...So, this child?"

"The child is mine and Feng Shuo's. You don't have to worry about him."

Aunt Xiao's face blossomed like a flower. She gasped for air repeatedly and slapped herself on the mouth, saying, "Pooh, pooh, pooh! Look at what a mess I, an old woman, have come up with! It's all because of that blockhead in our family. When he comes back, I'll let Ye Zi beat him up again!"

Boss Xiao, who was rushing back through the forest, sneezed for no apparent reason all the way.

Zhu Yunyao looked at Aunt Xiao's condition and felt a little uneasy.

"So, judging from Feng Shuo's pulse alone, no matter how he examines it, he's diagnosed with extinction."

"Yes." Aunt Xiao accepted Zhu Yunyao's words without question and was quite happy. "But there are exceptions to everything. The main reason is that your yin and yang are in harmony and your relationship is good! Oh, why did your mother choose Feng Shuo out of so many family members? You two must be destined to be together."

Zhu Yunying responded with a smile, but her heart was beating fast.

Recall what Feng Shuo had said before.

"You are my wife. The child born from your belly must call me daddy! Does the month of birth matter?"

——"Of course I'm looking forward to your child! But your safety must come first! Otherwise, how can I choose..."

Something seems to be wrong.

It was as if he had never admitted that it was his child.

When Zhu Yunyi lowered the corner of her lips, Ye Zi excitedly called her back at the door:

"Captain Feng is awake—"
