Chapter 253 254. Beware of villains

The next day, Jin Qianqian and Gu Wenheng knew roughly what had happened in Gaoling Village.

"...Actually, although the sisters-in-law each have their own shortcomings, they are sometimes quite cute." Jin Qianqian felt a little regretful. "If only I had been at home yesterday, I would have joined the fight with the sisters-in-law. That would have been a pretty good feeling."

Gu Wenheng put his arm around her waist and touched her belly. "Are you sure?"

Jin Qianqian looked down, then stroked him with some regret, "It's not bad to stand by and cheer."

"...I guess Gu Yuanlei won't give up so easily. Why don't you go back and guard it?" Gu Wenheng turned his head to look at her. Unexpectedly, Jin Qianqian was actually nodding.

"You'd better take it easy! If you feel bored staying in this yard, ask the housekeeper to go to the teahouse and find a storyteller to cheer you up."

Gu Wenheng also knew that Jin Qianqian had been bored to death in the past few months. She couldn’t go to many places, and it was not convenient for her to visit friends while she was pregnant.

She would like to hide in her room and watch the videos she had collected before, but she can't stare at these electronic products all day long. Not only is it bad for the fetus in her belly, it can also easily arouse suspicion from others.

"It would be faster for me to read the book myself than to listen to those people telling stories.

It's just a small story, but he has to talk about it for a long time." Jin Qianqian didn't think she had such good patience. In the past, when she attended those flower-viewing banquets, they always had to arrange for a troupe of actors or storytellers. She almost fell asleep several times while listening to them.

Gu Wenheng, "Then walk around the yard a little more, and I'll walk around with you a little more."

In fact, Gu Wenheng has been anxious these days. In this backward dynasty, he doesn't know how many women's lives ended at the moment of childbirth.

But there were some things he didn't dare to say, because doing so would only make Jin Qianqian fall into worry.

During this period of time, he had been asking people to inquire, and also made a special trip to Tianfu Restaurant in Daocheng, just to ask for the doctor from the clinic to come and take charge when the time comes.

But such a long time has passed and there is still no news.

Gu Wenheng was even considering whether to move to Daocheng, or go directly to Shangjing first, and try to ask the imperial physician in the palace to see him.

He didn't have the confidence before, but with the glass recipe and the soap already included in the offerings, it is not impossible for him to ask for it now.

Jin Qianqian's heart was actually as clear as a mirror. Although she was worried, it did not show on her face at all.

After all, I already have something in my stomach, so I have to look forward.

"Master, Madam," just as the two of them walked into the yard, Nanny Ou and Nanny Duan came over with soup.

"What kind of soup is it today?" Jin Qianqian had a bitter face. Nanny Duan had three different meals a day, but she felt a little sick of it after eating too much.

Madam Duan smiled and said, "This time it's not soup, it's the milk from the ewe that the master specially found.

We followed the master's instructions and added almonds when cooking goat milk, and it really didn't have any smell at all."

Jin Qianqian turned her head to look at Gu Wenheng, "When did this happen?"

"I asked someone to look for it yesterday. Since you don't want to drink those soups, it's okay to supplement with some goat milk." Gu Wenheng knew that there was a lot of goat milk powder in Jin Qianqian's space, but it could not compare to this fresh one.

Jin Qianqian hugged Gu Wenheng's arm and leaned her head on his shoulder. "Have I made you worry these days?"

"No," Gu Wenheng hurried to comfort her, "Besides, even if I am worried, it is my due responsibility. After all, you are working hard for me and suffering for me."

The maids and servant girls at the side all lowered their heads. The master's words became more and more explicit. They all felt that they had become thick-skinned. They felt embarrassed at the beginning, but now they were used to it.

Jin Qianqian: "..." I really want to show my former classmates that my current seniors can be so eloquent.

"Did Mrs. Tian come over a few days ago?" Gu Wenheng waited until Jin Qianqian finished drinking the goat milk before asking.

"She came over a while ago. She wanted to buy some soap, but unfortunately we had just delivered the goods and didn't have any stock for her.

What? Did she find you there?"

Gu Wenheng took out a handkerchief and wiped the milk stains from the corners of her mouth, then he let everyone around go away.

"But what's wrong?" Jin Qianqian looked at him seriously.

"I got some information from Captain Li that our County Magistrate Tian's brother-in-law wants to do more than just import a batch of goods." Gu Wenheng didn't think it was a good thing to hide these things from Jin Qianqian. After all, sometimes some villains should be watched out for.

"He originally persuaded Madam Tian to buy the secret recipe from you. But he was stopped by Lord Tian. In order to avoid causing conflict with us, Lord Tian immediately asked his brother-in-law to leave Fu County immediately."

Jin Qianqian, "So there is such a thing going on here, no wonder I always felt that Mrs. Tian's expression was a little strange that day.

Are you afraid that she will make things difficult for me in the future?"

Gu Wenheng nodded, “Although Lord Tian is relatively upright, he was able to stop the incident this time.

But you still have to be careful about what happens in the backyard, and the people around you should also warn them a few more times. In the coming days, you have to be very alert whenever you go out."

Gu Wenheng didn't want to make such a fuss, but he didn't dare to underestimate these women in the backyard.

Jin Qianqian naturally did not dare to be careless, and said with a serious face, "I know, who did I offend? Things happened one after another."

Gu Wenheng gently stroked her back and said, "Take your time, it will all pass."

Jin Qianqian: "..." I think I'm that easy to fool?

Lan Ying looked at Gu Yuanlei, whose face was bruised and swollen, and raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Even if these brothers split up, they wouldn't be so cruel, right?

She handed the baby in her arms to the girl behind her, and immediately looked concerned, "What happened? Did you fall on the way back?"

Gu Yuanlei covered his wound and said, "I was beaten by those shrews. They wanted to control everything in the family and refused to let me return to the family no matter what."

Lan Ying walked to the cupboard and took out the medicinal wine. "Is there a misunderstanding here? We can just sit down as a family and clarify the misunderstanding.

Why do you have to beat him like this? What if his bones are injured? "

Hearing the concern from his wife, Gu Yuanlei was moved and held her hand, "So they are all shrews. They should really learn from me what it means to be virtuous and kind."

Lan Ying lowered her eyes sadly and said with a guilty look on her face, "Is it because of me?

The reason we allowed you to marry into our family earlier was because we were worried that you wouldn't be able to make a living there. This way, you can have a more legitimate status in our family."

I’ve updated the article on the fourth day. Cheer myself up!
