Chapter 176 Bai Feng Knows
Just then, Xiaoxi came into the room carrying some medicinal chicken soup, and the two of them dropped the topic.
The next day, before dawn, Su Sheng left with Doctor Li. After returning, he rushed into the house to find Su Yu, "My cousin gave birth to a son. Both mother and child are safe."
"Really!" Su Yu stood up in surprise, even happier than when she gave birth to a son.
As a result, Su Sheng's next words made her heart fall to the bottom.
Su Sheng sighed, "It's a pity that the wife of the eldest young master of the Zhu family is also pregnant. Mr. Zhu values his first wife's child more. He was not there when my cousin gave birth."
Su Yu's expression tightened and her smile gradually faded.
Su Sheng was a little worried. "Wife, what do you think will happen to my cousin and the child in the future?"
He knew that his wife was smart, so he asked her out of habit.
Su Yu smiled bitterly, "What else can I do? Between the original wife and the concubine, everyone knows how to choose. Hey! Don't go to Yong'an Lane again during this period of time, at least not before the wife of the Zhu family gives birth to a child."
They cannot expose Ke Yunyun and her son, otherwise if Cui makes trouble, Zhu Yixuan will abandon Ke Yunyun and her son without hesitation.
Cui, who was feared by Su Yu, was now living a fairy-like life.
During this period, Zhu Yixuan did not go out and stayed at home with her. She felt like she was back in her honeymoon period, and she found the beautiful girls in the mansion more pleasing to her. She once advised Zhu Yixuan to go to the concubine's room, but Zhu Yixuan decisively refused, which made Cui even happier.
Upon hearing that Zhu was returning to her parents' home, Cui immediately called her personal maid Bilian to go to Madam Zhu's main courtyard to watch the fun.
"Oh! My sister-in-law is back! Why don't you go sit in my sister-in-law's yard?" Cui deliberately puffed out her flat belly and sat down with the help of Bilian.
Madam Zhu stared at her belly with eyes full of expectation and caution, "Why are you walking around when you're pregnant? It's not easy to talk to your sister-in-law! Send someone over to tell her, and I'll let her go."
Zhu's eyes widened in dissatisfaction, "Mother!"
Mrs. Zhu laughed and said, "Your sister-in-law is pregnant, so it's not easy for her to go out. Please be more considerate."
Cui's smile deepened, and she raised her chin and glanced at Zhu's belly proudly, and asked nonchalantly: "Sister-in-law, is your belly moving? If not, you'd better hurry up. We women only have these few years of youth. If we don't give birth now, it will be more difficult to give birth in the future."
Zhu's face was very ugly, and she uttered word by word through her teeth, "Don't worry about it, sister-in-law."
Cui covered her face and chuckled, "I'm just reminding you, you just need to pay attention to it."
Mrs. Zhu was anxious and angry. She didn't want to pay attention to Mrs. Cui, so she looked at Mrs. Zhu and said, "Mother, I want the ginseng in your warehouse."
Cui raised her eyelids, then lowered them slightly, and said, "What a coincidence. I also came to ask mother for ginseng. I remember mother has a hundred-year-old ginseng. Can you give it to me? The doctor said that ginseng can replenish qi."
"Okay, okay! I'll give it to you if you want it!" Mrs. Zhu looked obedient.
Zhu couldn't sit still any longer, "Mom! I was the first to speak."
"You didn't say you wanted that 100-year-old ginseng!" Madam Zhu frowned subconsciously and said unhappily, "I understand your sister-in-law is pregnant and needs ginseng, but what are you going to do? Besides, has the Bai family fallen so bad that they can't even take out a 100-year-old ginseng? You actually went back to your mother's house to snatch something from your sister-in-law. Is that reasonable?"
Zhu looked at Madam Zhu in disbelief.
Mrs. Zhu realized that she had spoken too harshly, so she quickly comforted him, "I only have one hundred-year-old ginseng. If I give it to your sister-in-law, it will be gone. I have no shortage of other herbs, so you can pick two and take them back."
Mrs. Zhu's perfunctory attitude made Zhu feel disappointed.
Zhu stamped her feet in anger, "You all bully me!"
Having said that, he turned and ran away.
Mrs. Zhu's face darkened. "This child! He is becoming more and more unruly!"
Cui gave a smug smile.
Zhu returned to the Bai family in a rage and vented her anger in her own courtyard. Rulan did not dare to frown at her. She waited until Zhu calmed down a little before entering the house and whispered, "Master, why didn't you tell Madam why you wanted the ginseng? If Madam knew that you wanted an heir, she would definitely not let the eldest young master's wife snatch it from you."
Zhu sneered twice, her eyes flashing with resentment, and she clenched her fists tightly, "My mother will side with me? Rulan, how naive are you! Cui Ruyi is just pregnant now, and all the masters of the Zhu family want to worship her like an ancestor. How can I, a married woman, compare with her?"
"Master." Rulan bit her lip and dared not say a word.
Zhu let out a long sigh and slowly closed her eyes. "Forget it. There is still no sign of having an heir. How are those little goblins in the backyard?"
Rulan cheered herself up and replied respectfully, "Madam Hua is already pregnant, and Madam Liu is four months pregnant. The fetus is stable. Master, you need me."
Zhu waved her hand and said, "Don't act rashly for now. Wait until they give birth."
Since she married into the Bai family, she has been almost becoming a sickly woman in order to have a child, but there is still no movement in her stomach. To be honest, she has no confidence in getting pregnant anymore, and what if the concubine's child is gone at this time?
She was afraid that her situation in the Bai family would become even more difficult, and she would have to let them give birth, but she was really unwilling to do so.
"Ah!" Zhu overturned the table like crazy, her eyes red, "Why! Why can they all get pregnant but I can't! God is so unfair to me!"
Rulan was trembling with fear.
After a while, Bai Feng came back from outside and found the house clean. He had no idea that Zhu had gone mad, so he just asked, "Did your elder brother and sister-in-law say anything when you returned to your mother's house today?"
"What else can they say?" Zhu said in a somewhat aggressive tone.
Bai Feng, however, rarely cared about it. Instead, he approached Zhu in a strange way and lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know who I met when I went out today?"
"Who is it?" Zhu's curiosity was aroused.
Bai Feng raised his lips slightly and said, "I saw Su Chuan."
"Hmm?" Zhu was surprised and frowned. "What's so strange about seeing him? What? You don't plan to settle the score with him anymore?"
Bai Feng snorted coldly and didn't respond. "I saw him sneaking to the pharmacy and buying a bunch of supplements, so I followed him. Guess where he went?"
Zhu said nothing.
Bai Feng said calmly, "He went to Yong'an Lane. I asked people nearby. The owner of the villa in Yong'an Lane is a woman who just gave birth to a child. Su Chuan's family are servants in that villa."
"Don't say that!" Zhu stood up suddenly, her heart pounding.
Bai Feng lazily stepped back, and a mocking laugh came out of his throat, "I thought your elder brother was so upright, but it turns out you are just like this! In order to have a mistress outside, you have to ask me for servants to serve you. You did it so covertly, but you were just afraid that your sister-in-law would find out."
