Chapter 46: The Think Tank Appears It
was not until Sun married Zhu Dingxing and gave birth to Zhu Yingyan and Zhu Xuntao that she slowly came to her senses and realized what her father meant by those words.
Zhu Yingyan knew less about their past than
Zhu Xuntao did. Sun, who finally saw Zhu Dingxing's true face, regretted it but had no way back. She could only go all the way.
Mrs. Sun was unwilling to tell her beloved daughter about such a shameful and failed past because she thought it was embarrassing.
Naturally, she didn't even tell Zhu Yingyan, so how could she tell Zhu Xuntao, who didn't care about her and even hated her?
Everything Zhu Xuntao knew was told by her grandfather, Sun Laoyezi.
Grandpa Sun treated his daughters like this, so it was impossible for him to pay special attention to Zhu Xuntao, his granddaughter.
He just saw that Mrs. Sun favored one over the other between the two daughters, and he told Zhu Xuntao all the past events, regardless of whether the young Zhu Xuntao could understand.
Fortunately, Zhu Xuntao was born with a ruptured fetus, and her core was not a child, so she understood what Grandpa Sun said.
It was also at that time that Zhu Xuntao felt that she had finally "died with a clear mind."
Zhu Xingding had some thoughts about the oath he made that year, but he did not dare to break it completely.
Therefore, the second year after he married Sun, Sun gave birth to Zhu Yingyan.
Even if it is a natural birth, it would be better for a woman to rest for a period of time after giving birth before getting pregnant again.
But Zhu Dingxing said that he had worked so hard to pass the imperial examinations and became an official, so the Zhu family couldn't be childless, right?
Everything he had worked hard for must be handed over to his son in the future, so that his son wouldn't have to go through the same hardship as he did in the past.
He could not take a concubine, but Mrs. Sun must give him a son.
Zhu Dingxing said this, and Mrs. Sun, who was still in deep love, didn't notice the danger at all, and immediately got pregnant with her second child, Zhu Xuntao.
When she was pregnant with her second child, Zhu Dingxing, the people around her, and even the doctor who examined Mrs. Sun's pulse said that this time, she was pregnant with a boy.
Hearing this, Mrs. Sun was overjoyed again and fed her well.
Firstly, of course, it was to raise the son in her belly to be plump and smart.
Secondly, she did not take good care of herself after giving birth to Zhu Yingyan, and her body was not well taken care of for the second child.
Eating better during the second pregnancy can not only take care of the fetus, but also take care of her body, killing two birds with one stone.
As you can imagine, such a "care" method directly led to Mrs. Sun's second child being difficult to give birth.
In order to have a son and to live a happy life with Zhu Dingxing, Mrs. Sun gritted her teeth and gave birth to the second child for a day and a night. She survived many dangers, but finally both the baby and the child were safe.
Mrs. Sun suffered heavy postpartum hemorrhage just after the child was born.
When she woke up again, she received two pieces of bad news:
first, she gave birth to a fat daughter instead of a son;
second, she had a difficult birth and her body was damaged, so she would never be able to have children again.
Now, Madam Sun couldn't have any more children, and Zhu Dingxing didn't have a son.
Even if Zhu Dingxing had promised Madam Sun not to take a concubine, with this reason, all the vows were naturally invalid.
Aunt Wang was originally a maid serving Zhu Dingxing. When Zhu Dingxing was sixteen years old, she became Zhu Dingxing's woman.
So, Aunt Wang was the first one to be promoted to a concubine by Zhu Dingxing, and Aunt Wang was exempted from the contraceptive soup.
Aunt He was the daughter of the teacher Zhu Dingxing worshipped when he was studying in the school. The two were childhood sweethearts.
If it weren't for the low family background of Concubine He, Zhu Dingxing would have preferred to marry Concubine He rather than Madam Sun.
After marrying these two concubines, maybe because it was a hindrance to the Sun family, or because all their childhood friendships were satisfied, Zhu Dingxing stopped and did not add a fourth woman to the mansion.
Concubine Wang was someone Zhu Dingxing had served since she was a child, and Concubine He was someone Zhu Dingxing really liked.
As soon as these two women arrived in the backyard, Zhu Dingxing became "busy", and Madam Sun also tasted the feeling of being alone in an empty room.
Maybe Zhu Dingxing changed his face too quickly, so quickly that Madam Sun couldn't accept it and almost went crazy.
But Zhu Dingxing was really bad, because his actions were not too extreme. He stopped after taking in two concubines, and did not completely drive Madam Sun into despair, causing her to think of breaking off relations with him.
Under this extreme tug of war, Madam Sun still went crazy.
Tragically, Zhu Xuntao became the target of Madam Sun's venting and was judged to be the source of all mistakes.
The clearer he knew, the colder Zhu Xuntao's heart became.
It was precisely because of this that every time he was treated harshly by Madam Sun and accepted Madam Sun's cold violence, Zhu Xuntao could comfort himself, keep the heart of an outsider, and watch everything with cold eyes.
Zhu Xuntao completely forgot the joy and happiness she felt when she was born and found out that she had changed from an orphan to a child with a father and a mother.
She was destined to be an orphan!
Even if she was reborn, she was still alone, without a father or a mother.
Fortunately, with a lifetime of experience as a foundation, she could get used to it.
"Second Miss, Nanny Li is here." Qiuyue's voice interrupted Zhu Xuntao's memories, "Should she be let in?"
Zhu Xuntao didn't have the power to stop people outside the yard and not let them in before.
Now, she must have it!
The perceptive butler Wang arranged all the treatment that a normal second lady should have for Zhu Xuntao.
Just now, Nanny Li came to visit Zhu Xuntao. Without Zhu Xuntao's consent, she was temporarily stopped at the gate of the courtyard.
Seeing that she could not enter the place where she used to come and go freely today, Nanny Li closed her eyes first, and then the smile on her face deepened a little.
The second young lady is really different.
So she has to help the lady to pull the second young lady and not let the second young lady be separated from the lady.
The old man is unreliable. The lady has only two young ladies in her life.
As long as the two young ladies marry well and think of the lady in their hearts, the old man dare not treat the lady badly.
"Nanny Li, how are you?" Qiuyue bowed to Nanny Li and led her to the yard.
Everyone in the mansion knew that Qiuyue was the head maidservant of the Second Young Lady, so Qiuyue's attitude was naturally the Second Young Lady's attitude.
No one dared to stop Qiuyue from bringing along.
Seeing Qiuyue, who was more confident and generous and no longer hesitant, Nanny Li smiled:
"It's only been a few days since we last met, and Qiuyue has grown into a big girl."
Qiuyue smiled shyly: "Nanny Li, don't laugh at me, the young lady said I was still young."
Zhu Xuntao, who was sitting in the room, just watched Qiuyue and Nanny Li walking over, talking and laughing.
You know, when facing her biological mother and Zhu Yingyan, Qiuyue was either as scared as a little rabbit or as angry as a little hedgehog.
Nanny Li was still the most capable housekeeper of her biological mother, but Qiuyue had no hostility towards her, only a little affection.
Just this point, Li Ma Ma did not disgrace her evaluation of her think tank.
