"Do I have to wait until the baby is born before I can take the medication?"

Madam Lu looked at Jiang Yue with a worried expression. Wouldn't Yueyue have to endure this winter?

"Mom, it's okay."

Jiang Yue didn't care about any of that. "Winter only lasts a few months. Just hang in there and it'll be over."

Her knees only hurt when they get cold in winter; they get better when the weather warms up.

Before leaving, Dr. Liu took Jiang Yue's pulse and checked her condition. After confirming that there were no problems with her body and the baby in her womb, Dr. Liu nodded in satisfaction, "You usually take good care of your health. You should continue to maintain this."

Your pulse is fine. If you'd like, you can come to my clinic often so I can take your pulse.

"Thank you, Dr. Liu. I'll go when I have time."

Jiang Yue did not refuse. She had heard from Madam Lu that this Doctor Liu's ancestors were imperial physicians and that his medical skills were excellent. With such a skilled doctor taking her pulse, Jiang Yue certainly wouldn't refuse.

After Doctor Liu left, Madam Lu first asked Jiang Yue to have breakfast.

She packed her things and planned to take Jiang Yue to the old house in a little while.

"Yueyue, a lot of people came to the old house today, but don't be afraid. Your grandma and I are here, and we will definitely protect you."

Your eldest aunt is a bit petty; if she says anything unpleasant, just talk her back. Don't be afraid of her. Your second aunt seems a bit aloof, but she's a nice person and not difficult to get along with.

Fearing that Jiang Yue might be reserved since it was her first time visiting the old house and she was unfamiliar with everyone, Madam Lu briefly explained the situation of her family to her.

"You have two aunts, neither of them are troublesome. They will both be coming today. Just treat them the way you usually treat others. You don't need to try to please anyone. Just remember, you are our family's treasure. You don't need to give in to anyone. If anyone makes you unhappy, you should make them unhappy too."

Madam Lu is very protective of her daughters-in-law; she absolutely cannot allow outsiders to bully her daughter-in-law, whom she cherishes dearly.

"Mom, I've got it. Don't worry, I definitely won't let myself suffer."

Jiang Yue was never one to suffer a loss; if anyone made her unhappy, she would make them unhappy in return.

Anyway, she has someone backing her up, so what is she afraid of?

After breakfast, Madam Lu let Jiang Yue rest for a while before taking her to the old house.

Mr. Lu went to work early this morning and won't be back until the afternoon.

A dozen minutes later.

Cheng Wei parked his car in the courtyard of the Lu family's old house.

When Grandma Lu and Grandpa Lu saw Jiang Yue and Madam Lu arrive, they immediately came out of the house.

They had been eagerly anticipating Jiang Yue's arrival since early this morning.

As soon as Grandma Lu and Grandpa Lu came out, a group of people followed behind them. Jiang Yue only recognized Lu Yuanming, the eldest uncle of the Lu family, and his wife. She did not see her second uncle, who had gone to F City last time.

Grandma Lu walked over with a smile and took Jiang Yue's hand. "Yueyue, it's so cold outside. Are your knees alright?"

"Come on, let's go inside quickly."

Seeing how much Grandma Lu valued Jiang Yue, everyone present had different expressions. The eldest aunt lowered her head, pursed her lips, and looked at her with jealousy and disdain.

They all come from humble backgrounds. The old lady was being so nice to Jiang Yue, her granddaughter-in-law, in front of so many people, which was clearly a public slap in her face.

Jiang Yue didn't notice the hidden anger emanating from her aunt as Grandma Lu pulled her into the house.

The Lu family's old residence is not a modern villa, but a large mansion with several courtyards. The courtyards are decorated in a low-key manner, but the furnishings used are all of the highest quality.

The chairs and tables in the living room are all made of rosewood, and the vases placed next to them are all antiques. It looks understated, but it exudes luxury in every aspect.

This is the foundation of a large family.

Even though the Lu family has undergone many changes in recent years, it still has a strong foundation.

Grandma Lu pulled Jiang Yue to sit down, then asked the nanny to bring two hot water bottles to place on her lap, and thoughtfully covered her with a small blanket.

The room was heated, so it wasn't cold.

However, Grandma Lu was worried that Jiang Yue had just come in from outside and her knees were uncomfortable, so she had these things prepared.

The eldest aunt's eyes were sore from watching, and she couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Mom, you're so good to Yueyue. Not to mention her sons like Yuanming, I think even her own daughters Yuanrong and Yuanlan can't compare."

Lu Yuanrong and Lu Yuanlan are Grandma Lu's two daughters, and they sat next to Jiang Yue.

Hearing her aunt's words, Lu Yuanrong couldn't help but laugh. Her sister-in-law was really making her look at her in a new light. Now she was so petty that she even cared about a child.

Lu Yuanlan was not like Lu Yuanrong, who was unwilling to argue about these things. She was straightforward and immediately retorted when she heard her aunt's words, "Sister-in-law, what you said is wrong. How come my mother doesn't love us anymore?"

Is she being nice to Yueyue now because Yueyue's knee injury has just healed?

If you're jealous after seeing this, why don't you go to Pudu Temple and pray for your brother's well-being? If your knees end up like Yueyue's, I guarantee our whole family will treat you like a Bodhisattva.

"Yuan Lan, I'm your sister-in-law, how dare you speak to me like that?"

When her aunt saw that her sister-in-law was being so disrespectful to her, her face immediately turned cold.

Did I say something wrong?

Lu Yuanlan wasn't afraid of her and looked up to meet her gaze with a mocking look.

"Alright, everyone, say less."

Grandma Lu glanced at everyone unhappily, then smiled and said to Jiang Yue, "Yueyue, don't pay attention to them. Grandma can dote on whomever she wants, and no one can make that decision for her."

Jing Nian was lost when he was a child, and now he has finally been found. However, he cannot come back temporarily because he is a soldier in the army. Now his wife is back and is pregnant with two great-grandchildren of the Lu family. Moreover, Yueyue has done so much for Jing Nian. If they don't love Yueyue, who will they love?

Do you love your eldest daughter-in-law who's always so calculating?

To be honest, Grandma Lu really didn't think much of her eldest daughter-in-law, but her son liked her and insisted on marrying her. She and her husband never interfered with their children's choice of partners, so naturally they didn't object.

She and her husband treated each of their daughters-in-law equally, dividing everything into three equal portions and never showing favoritism. To avoid creating family conflicts, they allocated houses to all their children after they got married, allowing them to move out.

They usually only come back for a meal during family gatherings.

Even so, the eldest son's wife still felt inferior and sensitive because of her poor family background. She was always prone to overthinking and felt that others looked down on her.

Grandma Lu sighed inwardly. No matter what her eldest daughter-in-law thought, she was determined to side with Yueyue and see who dared to say anything.

"Since everyone is here today, I'd like to announce something: Yueyue will be the future female head of the Lu family, whom I'm grooming. If any of you dare to bully Yueyue, get out of the Lu family. Do you all understand?"
