Chapter 333 My Mother is Very Smart

Because of her mother Chen's change in attitude, Jiang Yuzhu tossed and turned and did not sleep well all night.

Hongli slept on a small couch in the outer room. Listening to the noises coming and going in the inner room, he asked cautiously, "Madam, are you still awake?"

"I can't sleep."

Jiang Yuzhu simply sat up and said, "Hongli, please talk to me."

"Madam, it's already late at night. How about I read you my cousin's travel notes?"

Hongli rubbed her eyes. She was also a little worried. Every time she read Chen Tao’s travel notes, she, as a servant, fell asleep first.

The hypnotic effect is powerful and comes much faster than sleep-inducing incense.

“No hurry.”

Jiang Yuzhu was confused and asked, "Hongli, tell me the truth, how did I treat the master?"

Hongli didn't understand why, but she still answered truthfully: "Madam is very good to Master."

"Be more specific."

Both her parents have turned to Xie Zhao, and Jiang Yuzhu has really lost her confidence. She wants to hear the opinion of her personal maid.

Outside the door, Hong Jin heard the noise and quietly opened the curtain to enter.

Seeing that Hongli was racking his brains to think, Hongjin said quickly: "The master was summoned to the north by the emperor. The journey was dangerous and he relied on Madam's company. Madam has a deep affection for the master."

Although it was the Emperor's decree that forced Madam to accompany him all the way and share the joys and sorrows, she still made her sacrifices.

"You are pregnant and have gone through a lot of hardship. You are a great contributor to the Xie family!"

Hongli finally thought of something, "You are a very lucky person. The Xie family depends on you for rescue."

Jiang Yuzhu thought about it and felt that what the two maids said made a lot of sense.

She was nice to Xie Zhao and the Xie family. Why was her mother Chen brainwashed by Xie Zhao and felt that what she did was a little lacking?

"The master often secretly took out letters and handkerchiefs, and every time they happened to be seen by my parents."

Xie Zhao knows how to give hints and his approach is quite exaggerated.

Jiang Yuzhu thought for a moment and ordered, "Hongli, light the oil lamp and embroider a fox handkerchief."

Hongli paused holding the teacup, and begged for mercy with a droopy face: "Madam, you know that my embroidery work is the worst, not even as good as Ningxiang and Ningdong."

It is really painful to do embroidery.

If it was Hong Jin, she would do better than her.

Hongli looked at his wife nervously, hoping that she would change her mind.

Jiang Yuzhu coughed twice and tried to keep her expression natural: "Only the two of us have similar embroidery skills, so it's not easy for others to notice."

Since she was going to send a handkerchief to Xie Zhao and find a replacement, she must find someone with similar skills to herself to get away with it. Jiang Yuzhu thought Hongli was just the right person.

"You want to see the master off?"

Hongli seemed to understand, and after a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Why don't you send me a green bamboo handkerchief?"

Embroidering bamboo leaves is the simplest and can be completed within an hour.

"Embroider bamboo leaves. I'm sure mother will find them too ordinary. Let's embroider foxes instead."

Jiang Yuzhu made up her mind. She believed that Xie Zhao, who was so insightful, should understand what she meant.

"The master is a two-faced person. On the surface, he doesn't care about anything, but in fact, he is petty and is secretly making things difficult for me."

When Jiang Yuzhu thought about it, she felt no guilt at all.

Take having children for example, what contribution has Xie Zhao made?

After figuring it out, Jiang Yuzhu fell asleep quickly. She left Hongli in the outer room and resigned herself to embroidering the fox.

When it was bright outside, Hongli finally finished the embroidery with dark circles under her eyes.

"here you go!"

Jiang Yuzhu was very satisfied and rewarded Hongli with a carp jade pendant. She said considerately, "You are taking a rest today, so you don't have to serve me."

"Madam, it's just one night. I can still endure it."

Hongli was used to following his wife around and serving her tea and water, and was always worried that others might not serve her well enough.

Jiang Yuzhu twitched her eyes and said, "Go get some sleep, or I, as your wife, will feel like I'm exploiting you."

After Hongli returned to the room, Jiang Yuzhu hurriedly called Hongjin and said, "Hurry up and put on some makeup for me. Apply a layer of dark powder under my eyes."

Hong Jin did as he was told and suddenly understood what his wife was thinking.

"Are you worried that the old lady will be exposed when she sees the dark circles under the red carp's eyes?"

Her wife was extremely smart and never missed a single detail. Hong Jin secretly admired her.

Jiang Yuzhu smiled faintly and said, "What else? My mother is very smart."

In Chen's heart, sympathy for Xie Zhao prevailed, and she was prone to find fault with her daughter. However, if Jiang Yuzhu really stayed up late to embroider, Chen could only feel distressed.

Jiang Yuzhu was strong-willed and would never fall for Xie Zhao's trick, so she had no choice but to deceive her mother Chen.

After handing over the fox handkerchief, just as Jiang Yuzhu had expected, Chen began to blame herself again, saying, "Mother told you to stay up late for two days, why did you stay up late? You are pregnant now, and you don't have enough energy."

"Mom, I have thought carefully about what you said and I think you are right."

Jiang Yuzhu leaned against Chen's side and said disappointedly, "Yuanhe has never been like this before. I guess I didn't take care of him, so he took out the letters and old handkerchiefs at every turn. I guess outsiders know that I neglected him."

Jiang Yuzhu is also a person who cares about her reputation and doesn't want outsiders to know her family affairs.

Chen thought for a moment, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mother, you are wrong. It is not easy for Yuanhe to worry about the country and the people, but it is also difficult for you to be in Jiangnan with a big belly and without your husband by your side."

It was very ignorant of Xie Zhao to have a request at this time.

Chen wanted to blame Xie Zhao, but found she couldn't open her mouth.

From the beginning to the end, Xie Zhao did not ask for anything, it was all Chen's imagination.

With the company of my mother Chen and good sister Zhao Fendie, my life is more fulfilling than before.

After Chen came to Suzhou, Jiang Yuzhu felt reassured and all the worries in her heart disappeared completely.

The days passed quickly, and before we knew it, it was the middle of the eighth month in the lunar calendar.

Jiang Yuzhu's belly was getting bigger and bigger. She lowered her head and could only see her bulging belly but not her feet.

As the delivery day approached, the servants on the farm began to get nervous.

"Madam, the delivery room has been prepared."

From the beginning, Jiang Yuzhu had to have someone by her side, even when she went to the toilet, she had a maid to help her.

At first Jiang Yuzhu was a little uncomfortable, but after doing it many times she got calmer.

"Shao Divine Doctor said that you need me to support you even when you go for a walk. If you fall, you will definitely have a premature birth."

Hongli gave him these instructions several times a day without getting tired of it, like a monk chanting sutras.

Ningxiang also said, "I heard from Divine Doctor Shao that most women who are pregnant with twins give birth prematurely. You should be more careful."

"Know."

In the afternoon, Jiang Yuzhu sent away several maids and only kept Hongxiu and Hongjin.

When the two men saw the expressions on their wives' faces, they understood.

"Madam, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon."

Hong Jin became worried whenever she thought that the person who killed the three Xiong brothers was still hiding under her nose.

She was not as open-minded as her wife, and had been unable to sleep at night recently.

"Yes, so I won't delay it."

Jiang Yuzhu calculated the time and planned to solve the problem once and for all.

Hidden dangers must be resolved before production begins.

"Hongjin, is the person I asked you to find safe?"

Jiang Yuzhu asked again with certainty.

Hong Jin nodded and straightened her face: "The person was left in Su City by the master, so he must be very safe."

"Do it tonight!"

Without any buffer, Jiang Yuzhu's decision was sudden.
