Yu Jiao wakes up one day to find herself transmigrated into the body of a poor rural girl, sold off in a marriage of luck to a sickly man.
Thinking she’s landed in a farming-romance novel, ...
Yu Jiao said at the side, "Since Big Sister has already asked for it for me, I am still happy to accept it."
Cui Qiong looked as if she didn't expect Yu Jiao to say that, which made everyone laugh.
"Okay, you two sisters have a deep affection for each other, and I accept it." Cui Qiong sighed softly, seeming to be extremely helpless. Her mischievous look made people laugh.
A few people here were chatting and laughing happily, while some guests over there had already left. The maid of the Shen family came to find Shen Wan, and Wei Min's mother was also calling Wei Min, so the two of them left with their family members.
The Cui family and the Liu family are in-laws, so naturally they have to stay a little longer. Madam Liu also wants Yu Jiao to take Liu Yaozhen's pulse. Although many doctors outside have seen her, she has been married for two years and there is still no movement in her stomach. Madam Liu is still a little worried about her eldest daughter.
Although the Cui family had a clean and upright tradition, they did not treat Liu Yaozhen badly, nor did they ask the second brother of the Cui family to take a concubine. But if she still couldn't get pregnant in another year or two, it would not be good for the Cui family to never have a grandson. By then, even if the Cui family didn't mention it, Yaozhen would have to take the initiative to bring two concubines into the room of the second brother of the Cui family.
After the guests left, Yu Jiao was called by Madam Liu to her courtyard in the East Garden. On the surface, she was told that Yaozhen had prepared a birthday gift for Yu Jiao and asked her to go over and take a look.
Liu Yaoyu and Cui Qiong naturally wanted to watch it together, but they were driven out and told to play outside.
Liu Yaozhen went home to meet Yu Jiao the last time Yu Jiao was included in the family tree. This time was the second time they met. She heard from Mrs. Liu that Yu Jiao had treated Tao Ge'er and cured her grandmother's cough. This time, she saw that Yu Jiao and Yao Yu got along very close, so she still had a very good impression of Yu Jiao.
As soon as Yu Jiao came in, she smiled and called out, "Third sister, come and sit down."
Yu Jiao called out "big sister", sat beside her, took out a pulse pillow and took Liu Yaozhen's pulse.
Mrs. Liu was very nervous. While Yu Jiao was taking her pulse, she didn't dare to speak a word, for fear of disturbing Yu Jiao's concentration.
When Yu Jiao withdrew her hand, Madam Liu could not wait to ask, "How is Yao Zhen's health? Can she get pregnant?"
Although Liu Yaozhen looked calm on the outside, she was actually very nervous, as could be seen from the fact that she was clutching the handkerchief tightly.
"Big sister is in good health, there is no problem of not being able to get pregnant." She paused, "I heard from Madam that big sister also consulted doctors privately, but those doctors couldn't diagnose anything. Big sister never thought that the problem might be... with big brother-in-law? Have you asked a doctor to check big brother-in-law?"
When Liu Yaozhen mentioned her husband, her face changed and she said shyly, "This... is not your brother-in-law's problem. He has always been in good health."
In such an era, childbearing seems to be a woman's business alone. If a woman cannot get pregnant, she will subconsciously think that there is something wrong with her body and will never think about her husband.
Instead, she felt like a sinner because she was unable to give birth to children for her husband and carry on the family line. So, in order to make up for it, she arranged for her husband to take a concubine.
This is the inherent thinking of the times. It is not difficult for Yu Jiao to understand why Liu Yaozhen said such a thing.
On the contrary, Madam Liu, who was an experienced person, thought for a while after listening to Yu Jiao's words and said, "What your third sister said makes sense. You should ask a doctor to see Cui Er. You have seen so many doctors, but none of them could find anything. You can't get pregnant. Maybe there is something wrong with Cui Er's body..."
Before Mrs. Liu finished her words, Liu Yaozhen interrupted her. As a woman should obey her husband, Liu Yaozhen still respected her husband very much and could not bear to see her mother frame her like this. At this moment, she wished that there was something wrong with her body, which would be better than her husband being framed by others.
"Mother... why are you fooling around too?" Liu Yaozhen said to Cui Mubai, "Although he is a scholar, he also practices boxing every day and is quite strong. We are both still young. Having children is a matter of fate. Maybe it's not my destiny to have a child yet!"
Madam Liu frowned slightly, looked at Liu Yaozhen and sighed helplessly, "Mother is also worried about you. You have been married to the Cui family for two years, but you haven't conceived a child. Although your mother-in-law treats you very well now, what if you still don't have a child in two years? Do you really have to arrange to find a concubine for Cui Er?"
When Liu Yaozhen heard these words, her expression became somewhat gloomy.
"Big sister, there is no need to be so shy about seeing a doctor." Yu Jiao said slowly, "Besides, since you think the problem is not with my brother-in-law, why should you be afraid to check his pulse? Wouldn't you feel more at ease after checking his pulse?"
Liu Yaozhen thought what she said made sense, but if she said it openly, it would be somewhat embarrassing for her husband, so she said, "Let's wait for some time. I'll pretend to be unwell and ask the doctor to come to the house for a checkup. I'll also check Mu Bai's pulse."
Ever since Yu Jiao came into the mansion, Tao'er has not had epilepsy since then. The old lady's cough of many years was also cured by Yu Jiao. Madam Liu still trusts Yu Jiao's medical skills. Besides, family disgrace should not be made public, and it is really not easy to publicize something involving the birth of offspring.
