Chapter 53: Visiting the Lu Mansion

The four sisters were talking in the room when suddenly a loud noise came from outside. Song Yuwan frowned and asked the maid to go out and see what was going on.

The maid returned soon after leaving, smiling and saying, "A guest has come to visit us. He heard that our son-in-law passed the imperial examination, so he came to congratulate us."

This house was only a two-story building, so the noise in the front yard could be heard clearly from here. Knowing that there were guests, Song Yuwan felt relieved.

Soon, there were footsteps outside the door again. The maid at the door opened the curtain and welcomed in several ladies, who looked like young wives. Song Yuning and the others did not recognize these people.

Song Yuwan smiled when she saw these people and enthusiastically introduced them to each other. It turned out that these ladies were the wives of Lu Zhixing's classmates and friends.

Knowing that the three girls in the room were Song Yuwan's sisters, the ladies seemed very kind and smiled as they talked to Song Yuning and the other three.

Everyone knew that Song Yuwan was pregnant, so these ladies didn't bother her too much. They said they would come to visit her in a few days and then left.

As soon as these ladies left, a maid came over with a smile on her face and reported: "Madam, the master is here and said he wanted to see you."

Upon hearing the news, Song Yuwan's face immediately turned slightly red. Ignoring the teasing looks of the three sisters, she asked someone to help her sit up.

Song Yurou and the other three avoided the situation and stood behind the screen. They were unmarried girls, so it was not convenient for them to see their brother-in-law too often.

After a while, Lu Zhixing walked in with a brisk pace, his face filled with a gentle smile. He walked gently to Song Yuwan's side and said softly, "How are you today? Did your child still bother you?"

Song Yuwan nodded slightly and replied with a smile: "I'm fine. Why didn't you stay in front to entertain the guests? Why did you come back?"

Lu Zhixing smiled gently: "I'm worried that you might be feeling unwell, so I came to check on you."

After the two chatted about some family matters, Lu Zhixing once again reminded Song Yuwan to be more careful and get enough rest.

Finally, he leaned close to Song Yuwan's ear and whispered a few words, words that only the two of them could hear. Then, he slowly stood up and walked out of the room.

Watching Lu Zhixing's departing figure, Song Yuning and the other two came out from behind the screen. Song Yurou couldn't help but sigh, "Sixth brother-in-law really cares about Sixth Sister! He had to come over to see me after not seeing me for a while."

Song Yuwan smiled slightly upon hearing this, then shook her head gently and said, "How can it be as good as you say? He's just pretending. Although there is some friendship between us, it's not that deep."

Hearing Song Yuwan say this, Song Yuning keenly realized that there seemed to be more to it.

Song Yuning asked hesitantly, "Sixth sister, when you say that, does it mean that my brother-in-law..."

Song Yuwan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, but she didn't intend to hide her true situation too much: "It's just that a classmate sent a maid to his house, and now the maid is serving in his study."

When Song Yurou heard this, her eyes flickered, as if she remembered something, but she ultimately chose to remain silent. Meanwhile, Song Yuning sighed inwardly.

In ancient society, men were often like this and it was impossible for them to love only one person in their entire life.

Even if they already have a virtuous wife at home, they will still have many beautiful women or confidantes around them outside.

Song Yuyao looked at everything in front of her curiously. Finally, she couldn't suppress her inner doubts and asked, "Sixth sister, aren't you angry at all? After all, you are still pregnant, but your brother-in-law..."

Song Yuwan shook her head slightly, a smile of disapproval appearing on her face: "What's there to be angry about? Even if you marry someone else, you will inevitably encounter this situation.

What's more, with our family as a comparison, I have already seen the worst situation, so I think your brother-in-law's behavior is normal.

Besides, I don't care about these trivial matters. As long as he can bring me a prosperous life, I don't have too many extravagant demands in other aspects. "After saying this, Song Yuwan laughed softly again.

Looking at Song Yuwan, and thinking of the concubine Song Yuyan, the daughters of the Song family seemed to have a distrustful attitude towards men.

This is all Song Hongzhi's fault, but I have to say that this is actually quite good. With him as an example, it seems that none of the daughters of the Song family, except Song Yuqing, are interested in love.

Just look at what happened to Song Yuqing and you will know that people in this era don’t last long in love. Fortunately, they have a father who can make them sober.

In some ways, maybe Song Hongzhi did something good?

Seeing Song Yuyao's thoughtful expression, Song Yuwan added, "However, in your brother-in-law's heart, I must be the most important. Men should be coaxed, but they cannot be indulged.

I may not care if he takes concubines or looks for other women, but his heart must be with me."

Song Yurou and Song Yuning looked at each other, both feeling amused and confused. Song Yuwan had even started teaching mode.

After hearing this, Song Yuyao didn't know whether she understood it or not, she just nodded vigorously.

The four sisters talked for a while, and the meal was ready. Song Yuwan accompanied her three sisters to eat for a while.

Seeing that Song Yuwan seemed to feel a little uncomfortable after smelling the dishes, they didn't eat much and quickly had the dishes taken away.

"By the way, I bought a lot of small things for the baby in my belly these days. Do you want to take a look?" Seeing that the three people were quite interested, Song Yuwan immediately asked someone to bring them over.

They were all little gadgets, silver bracelets, cloth tigers and the like.

Song Yuwan walked quickly to Song Yuning's side, gently tugged at the corner of her clothes, and then lowered her voice and said, "Sister, I want to embroider some underwear for my child recently, but there are some patterns that I can't embroider well.

I've asked someone to get them all, can you help me take a look?" Song Yuwan blinked and looked at Song Yuning earnestly.

"Of course." Song Yuning agreed without hesitation to such a small matter.

They are sisters. It would be unreasonable if they were unwilling to help with such a small favor.

Hearing Song Yuning's answer, Song Yuwan showed a happy smile, then reached out and grabbed Song Yuning's arm, ready to take her out.

However, when the two had just taken a few steps, Song Yuwan suddenly covered her mouth and began to retch.

“Oh, I really feel very uncomfortable… Sister, I’m afraid I can’t accompany you.

How about this, let Chuntao take you over, you take a closer look at those things and give me some advice." Song Yuwan looked pale and very weak. She endured the discomfort and waved to Chuntao, motioning her to come over.

Chuntao quickly came to Song Yuwan's side. Song Yuwan supported her head with her hands and weakly ordered, "Chuntao, quickly take my ninth sister over and ask her to help take a look."

Chuntao nodded obediently, then led Song Yuning out of the room.
