Chapter 22: Sister-in-law’s Warning
Shen Ningyuan suddenly remembered something.
When Song Yan'er first married into the Shen family, Cui Mingzhu secretly told her that the new sister-in-law was difficult to get along with.
She believed Cui Mingzhu's words and began to be hostile to her sister-in-law.
From then on, whenever Song Yaner wanted to get close to her, she would reject him.
As a result, during the years that Song Yaner married into the Shen family, Shen Ningyuan was not very close to Song Yaner.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It turns out that many things have signs from the very beginning.
But she couldn't see anything, which caused the Shen family to end up being turned into pigs!
Seeing that Shen Ningyuan didn't say anything, Song Yaner thought that she couldn't accept this for a while.
But after thinking about it, he still advised earnestly: "Yuan'er, you can only know a person's face but not his heart. You should be more careful in the future."
"Especially... Cui Mingzhu." Song Yaner deliberately lowered her voice for the last few words.
"Okay, I understand, sister-in-law." Shen Ningyuan nodded and responded softly.
In her previous life, her sister-in-law had never told her these things, and had never even opened her heart to her.
She suddenly said this now, probably because she realized that her attitude towards Cui Mingzhu was different from before.
My sister-in-law, who is cautious in her words and actions, also has her own concerns when she marries someone else.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan's eyes suddenly swept towards Song Yaner's abdomen.
Looking at her bulging belly, Shen Ningyuan's heart began to ache again.
She suddenly realized that in her previous life she did not see her sister-in-law being turned into a human pig.
Could it be that my sister-in-law had already died before that?
This conjecture made Shen Ningyuan's heart shrink.
He subconsciously reached out and grabbed Song Yaner's wrist tightly.
Song Yan'er was startled by this sudden grab.
"Yuan'er, what's wrong?" Song Yan'er asked.
Shen Ningyuan said vaguely: "Sister-in-law, you must be well and give birth to my nephew safely."
But her voice was too soft and her words were unclear, so Song Yan'er couldn't hear what she said clearly.
Just thinking that Shen Ningyuan was not feeling well, he led her into the house.
At this time, Cui Jin had already taken Cui Mingzhu back to her own yard.
After entering the yard, Cui Jin looked at Cui Mingzhu's bloody hands with a complicated expression.
Cui Mingzhu looked at her aunt's expression and thought she was feeling sorry for her.
Just as she was about to cry, Cui Jin said coldly, "In the future, don't provoke Yuan'er again."
"If you do that again, I won't protect you like this anymore."
There was a different kind of coldness in Cui Jin's tone than usual.
Cui Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Cui Jin nervously: "Aunt, Aunt..."
"Don't call me aunt!" Cui Jin interrupted her coldly.
Looking at Cui Jin's serious expression, Cui Mingzhu's heart tightened.
This was the first time Cui Jin had been so serious with her in all the years she had been in the Shen family.
Sure enough, biological children and non-biological children are different.
Whenever she had a conflict with Shen Ningyuan, her aunt would only stand on Shen Ningyuan's side.
Thinking of this, Cui Mingzhu lowered her head to hide the jealousy in her eyes.
She should have known that the Shen family didn't take her seriously at all!
Otherwise, how could Shen Ningyuan be fine after hurting her so badly!
At this time, Cui Jin suddenly said: "Mingzhu, during this period of time, you should take good care of your injuries and help deal with the affairs of the Shen family. I will leave it to your sister-in-law for the time being."
As he said this, Cui Jin sighed.
Looking at Cui Mingzhu's hand, my heart began to ache again.
Yuan'er was the same, she didn't hold back when she attacked.
Cui Mingzhu's move was considered useless.
It depends on whether it can be recovered later.
Cui Jin made this request because she wanted Cui Mingzhu to have a good rest and recover from her injuries.
But in Cui Mingzhu's view, it was Cui Jin who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to sideline her.
If she doesn't help manage the Shen family, how can she make money for Ji Yunchuan?
Thinking of this, Cui Mingzhu quickly waved her hands and said anxiously:
"Aunt, my injury is fine. My sister-in-law is pregnant, how can I let her work so hard?"
"But, your injury..." Cui Jin hesitated to speak.
"I'm fine, auntie!"
Cui Mingzhu raised her other intact hand.
"This hand is broken, but this hand is still good, don't worry about me, auntie!"
Cui Mingzhu emphasized again, "Aunt, I just want to do something for this family. Aunt, you know, I don't want others to say that I am an idler kept in the Shen family."
When saying this, Cui Mingzhu's tone was very depressed.
After hearing her words, Cui Jin felt even more distressed.
"Mingzhu, your aunt is also worried about your injury. She's afraid that overworking yourself will affect your recovery." Cui Jin said earnestly.
But Cui Mingzhu simply couldn't listen and she refused without even thinking about it.
"Aunt, don't worry, I'm fine. I'll feel better if I can do something for the Shen family. After all, I owe the Shen family... too much!"
As she spoke, Cui Mingzhu eagerly grabbed Cui Jin's hand and begged, "Aunt, please let me do something for the Shen family. Aunt usually has to take care of the merchants outside, so how can she have so much energy to manage the affairs of the mansion? Sister-in-law is pregnant, so she can't work too hard. At this time, if I don't stand up, who will stand up?"
Cui Mingzhu looked at Cui Jin eagerly, her eyes full of pleading.
Seeing her insistence, Cui Jin couldn't refuse anymore, so she nodded and said, "I know you want to help your aunt, but you have to do it within your ability. Pay attention to rest when you need to, and don't let the injury get worse, understand?"
Cui Jin sighed and said, "This hand... Don't worry, aunt will definitely find the best doctor and use the best medicine to heal your hand."
"Aunt, I'm fine."
Cui Mingzhu shook her head, looking well-behaved and sensible.
At this moment, the palace doctor that the maid had invited arrived.
The court doctor was also shocked when he saw Cui Mingzhu's injuries.
He exclaimed on the spot, "How could this hand... be so serious?"
Cui Jin also asked nervously: "Doctor, can this hand be cured?"
"Madam, let me check it first."
After the court doctor finished speaking, he immediately put down his medicine box and walked forward to check Cui Mingzhu's injuries.
After approaching, the court doctor subconsciously wanted to feel Cui Mingzhu's pulse, but the latter retracted his hand.
The court doctor was stunned, and Cui Mingzhu quickly explained: "My hand hurts too much, let's check this first!"
Cui Jin also said: "Yes, let's check your hands first."
Hearing this, the court doctor didn't say anything. He followed the two people's instructions and began to examine Cui Mingzhu's hand.
However, during the examination, the court doctor's gaze would linger on Cui Mingzhu's abdomen for a few seconds from time to time, and a strange look would appear on his face.
Seeing this, Cui Mingzhu also became a little nervous, and her other hand subconsciously pressed tightly against her abdomen.
After the court doctor checked the patient repeatedly, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, no bones or muscles were injured. It was just a flesh wound that looked scary. It will heal after a while."
Hearing this, Cui Jin also breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Cui Mingzhu's hand was not disabled.
Otherwise, she would always feel guilty.
But the next second, the court doctor suddenly added: "It's just... such a serious flesh wound will definitely leave scars in the future."
Upon hearing this, Cui Jin's face changed instantly and she looked at Cui Mingzhu with heartache.
