Du Yaoyao felt sad and tears welled up in her eyes, "It's my daughter's fault for being unfilial."

The original owner was born with a beauty and married a high-ranking official, but she played a good hand of cards badly and allowed her mother to be bullied like this.

In the original book, Cui Niang died after her daughter. Perhaps it was the sorrow of an old person sending off a young person, or perhaps it was because she had no support from the title of an official's wife and mother, so she was tortured to death by a concubine.

Du Qing has a son, Du Wenwu, who studies away from home all year round. Du Qing only cares about his romantic life outside and doesn't care about the secret fights in the backyard.

Cui Niang used a handkerchief to wipe Du Yaoyao's tears, "Yaoyao, don't cry. Is your son-in-law good to you?"

Du Yaoyao helped Cui Niang sit down beside the bed, "Okay. I was still young before, and we had a few conflicts. Now that we have talked it out, he won't even want me to give him a concubine."

In the perception of ancient women, if a husband does not take concubines, it is the greatest respect and love for his wife.

The original owner had a cold relationship with Shen Jie. When the rumors spread to Qingzhou, Du Yaoyao could no longer hide it and had to tell the truth. Young couples quarrel at one end of the bed and make up at the other. It's common for them to cry today and laugh tomorrow. It's normal for them to break up and get back together.

Cui Niang stroked Du Yaoyao's cheek and nodded, "Then I'm relieved." Then she frowned and thought about herself, "Yaoyao, you are still young. You can't trust a man's oath. You have to have a child after all."

If she had not given birth to a son and a daughter, Du Qing would have divorced her long ago and made Concubine Liu his legal wife.

Du Yaoyao knew Cui Niang's thoughts and felt completely sad.

So what if he gave birth to children? Men cannot control the rotten crotch three inches below their navel by nature. For example, Du Qing, considering the children, kept Cui Niang as the principal wife, but did he give her a little face and consideration as the principal wife?

Women, eventually, have to stand on their own feet. Children and love are the icing on the cake. It’s good to have them, but you can still live alone without them.

But this was a feudal society with a system of monogamy and multiple concubines, and a man could divorce a woman if she had no children.

Du Yaoyao could not refute Cui Niang, nor could she instigate Cui Niang to resist anything.

Cui Niang is weak, simple and honest by nature. If she angers Du Qing and Aunt Liu, she doesn't know what consequences she will have to endure after she leaves.

Du Yaoyao is now in a difficult situation, she can hardly save herself. She sighed inwardly and said obediently: "I know, mother, I will try to give you a big fat grandson as soon as possible."

Cui Niang smiled happily and said, "You got married in the capital and I didn't go there. When you give birth, I will definitely ask your father to go to the capital to take care of you during the confinement period. Your father can't refuse me."

Cui Niang never left Qingzhou in her life. Du Yaoyao thought that if she could live a good life in her lifetime, she would definitely take Cui Niang away from the suffering of the Du family.

Cui Niang got up and fumbled in the closet for a long time, then found a box. She said shyly, "Yaoyao, this is what I prepared for you when you got married. You are marrying from your aunt, so you don't need it..."

She wanted to say something but stopped herself. Du Yaoyao opened it and found it was a booklet.

Cui Niang blushed as she recalled, "This was passed down to me by your grandmother when I married your father. I used the stuff in here... to conceive you and your brother."

Du Yaoyao curiously flipped through a few pages. There were pictures and explanations, all about which positions would help men ejaculate deeper and women conceive more easily.

She coughed a few times to hide her shame and put it away.

Chen Jie doesn't need this thing at all. He probably has 108 pornographic positions in his mind.

Thinking of the child, Du Yaoyao was a little confused about Chen Jie.

He didn't want her to get pregnant. Not long after the marriage, the original owner was given drugs that made it difficult for her to conceive. Ever since she pretended to be stupid and foolish to Ye Ying and said that she wanted to give him a son, Shen Jie suddenly wanted a child.

How much medicine should be taken, how harmful it will be to the body, and whether you can have children in the future. Du Yaoyao didn't know about these.

The only ones who knew the answer were Shen Jie and the imperial physician.

Every time the imperial physician examined the patient's pulse, the unchanging words "recuperation of the weak body" should be given. This should have been Shen Ji's advance instruction. Du Yaoyao had never seen the doctor privately. Chen Jie was keeping a close eye on her, and it would not be a good idea to alert the enemy.

Du Yaoyao sometimes feels fortunate that not being able to have children is a good thing. She didn't want to leave a blood relative in this unknown world.

"Yaoyao, besides this, mother has one more thing to ask of you."

Cui Niang grabbed Du Yaoyao's hand and bent her knees to kneel down.
