Now that things have come to this, I can only pretend that I know nothing.
After all, Shen Yuerong is not the only one who is anxious now.
Little did they know that Shen Yuerong's temporary compromise had caused the hearts of everyone in the general's mansion to secretly surge.
——
After Fu Hengyu comforted Shen Yuerong, he went to find Du Wan.
Du Wan stood at the door, looking somewhat unhappy, "What? You went to appease her, and now you come to appease me? You are really fickle now."
Her tone was aggrieved, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"My little ancestor, how dare I? This is not to appease that bitch, otherwise why would I easily set foot in her yard and even accompany her for dinner."
As he spoke, he walked to the basin nearby and washed his hands.
Then he held the person in his arms.
"You are my sweetheart. As for that woman, if it weren't for my mother's repeated requests, I would have divorced her right now. How could I allow her to speak freely?"
"No, you can't act on impulse. Many things in the General's Mansion are still in her hands. She has never considered our daughter as her own. I don't want our daughter to suffer any injustice."
As Du Wan spoke, the tears in her eyes rolled down again.
"Why are you crying again? Didn't the doctor tell you not to think too much during pregnancy, and not to be emotionally unstable? I know you are worried about our daughter, but don't worry, I will make Shen Yuerong willingly recognize her as my daughter."
Du Wan looked at him, her face full of disappointment, "I want to believe you, but now you have seen that Shen Yuerong refuses to give in. Our daughter is still so young and has never seen the world. How can we be a slave beside her and let her abuse us at will?"
A four-year-old girl should have grown up in the love and care of her parents, so how could she be a slave to another person?
Although Fu Hengyu also felt sorry for his daughter, he was unable to compete with Shen Yuerong at this moment.
"I know. You think you're the only one who cares about our daughter. Don't I care about her too? But how can I change her mind now? We are tied to the same rope now. If we quarrel, it will not do any good for either her or me."
Fu Hengyu was very satisfied with Shen Yuerong's appropriate display of weakness.
At least he hopes that his wife will still be a virtuous person.
"You said that you are really tied to her because of your own interests, so... you said a few days ago that you wanted to kill her, but today you want to pretend to be a couple with her?"
The man looked at the woman in front of him. For some reason, he felt a little annoyed when looking at the woman he loved so much.
"I've already told you that I have my own plans for these. You just need to take good care of the baby in your belly, and sooner or later I will give you what I promised you."
"You promised me? Have you forgotten why I followed you back to the General's Mansion from afar? It was you who promised me that once I returned to the General's Mansion, I would be your legal wife and no longer be your mistress. But now I am just a concubine and I am looked down upon by others."
Du Wan is not a fool. Although she loves Fu Hengyu deeply, she still has her own calculations in her heart.
Over the past ten days, everyone in the general's mansion doted on her, and even the old lady and others took good care of Du Wan, but in fact it was only because of the child in her belly.
"Will you really give me everything I want?"
Fu Hengyu nodded, suppressed his impatience, and hugged the person into his arms again.
"Of course I will. Otherwise, why would I have promised you that? Believe me, I will definitely fulfill your wish."
Although Du Wan was jealous because Fu Hengyu went to comfort Shen Yuerong, she was eventually able to overcome her grievances under the man's sweet talk.
"You said this, I didn't force you to do it."
Fu Hengyu smiled helplessly and comforted her for a long time before the matter was over.
——
The medicines prepared by Shen Yuerong were quickly transported from the pharmacy into the mansion, which naturally disturbed the old lady and others, so the old lady brought Fu Hengyue to visit again.
"My dear Rong'er, I heard from someone that you bought a lot of herbs outside. I wonder if there is something wrong with your body again. Although you are the descendant of a miracle doctor, you haven't touched herbs for many years, so it is inevitable that you are a little unfamiliar with them. If you are not feeling well, you should see a doctor as soon as possible."
Shen Yuerong nodded, looking at her with eyes full of concern, "Mother, don't worry. It's just that the weather has been too rainy recently, and my legs are a little numb. Every time it rains, the pain is unbearable, so I want to buy some herbs to relieve it."
"So..."
The old lady looked at her legs with some concern. "Since you feel pain, do you feel anything else?"
Her eyes were full of worry, but also a bit calculating.
"No, the doctor diagnosed me before that I would never be able to stand up again with my legs."
Hearing this, the old woman sighed and looked at Shen Yuerong eagerly, "What a pitiful girl, but you used these legs to save my son. Don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, the General's Mansion will always be your home."
She reached out and patted Shen Yuerong on the shoulder, and was about to start her long speech over the years.
Shen Yuerong forced a smile, "Of course, mother, I made you worry."
She sat up straight, also with a hint of false apology.
"I was too paranoid before. I always felt that some things should be controlled by myself. Now I think that I was a little narrow-minded."
"My husband came to see me yesterday, and I told him that the power of the mansion would be handed over to my mother, and I also divided up a few shops. I only need to... take control of the pharmacy that my father left me, so that I can research some medicines to relieve my pain."
"Do you only want that small pharmacy? I heard that the pharmacy's business is not very good, and because it is no longer under the protection of the Shen family, it is..."
The old woman was happy, but she was still afraid that Shen Yuerong was up to something.
Those drugstores were the only half-living businesses among all the businesses. If she were in power, she would have sold that drugstore long ago.
"Yes, I just need that pharmacy."
The old lady was full of joy. "That's fine. After all, your health is getting worse and worse. You can't always worry about the affairs of the mansion. It would be better if you hand over all the things to me. It would save you some worries. Yu'er is in the mansion, so you and your wife can discuss your relationship."
"That's what mother said."
Shen Yuerong pretended to hand over all the power in her hands to the general's assistant.
They are indeed ignorant.
I have no idea how much energy and thought it takes to run a shop or manage household affairs.
Shen Yuerong looked at the old lady in front of her who was so happy, and she could even imagine her kneeling in front of her one day and begging her to take control of the family again.
