Han Luoxue smiled and said, "You've all been busy all day, have a taste!"
"Look at all the food I've prepared! There's more than enough for the four of us to eat!"
Zhou Jie looked over and said, "Just eat it! How did Xue'er do on the test? Did you all learn it? We're going to eat some later, so you guys can do the grilling!"
The girls nodded quickly.
Seeing Zhou Jie's serious face, Han Luoxue tapped her on the head: "Your stern face is quite intimidating!"
Zhou Jie proudly raised her head: "Of course, I am the eldest daughter of the Zhou family!"
Han Luoxue also brought out two jars of fine wine, both of which were low-alcohol fruit wines, and their taste was naturally quite good.
The four of them ate, drank, and laughed, the rich aroma of grilled meat and the pleasant scent of wine carrying far and wide.
Aunt Li was already starving, and hearing the noise outside made her even more anxious.
She wanted to go out, but then she remembered that she was still on a hunger strike.
Gritting her teeth, she turned around and went back to the bed, lying down and turning to the inside, ignoring the noise outside and not wanting to smell the fragrance.
But that's precisely why the aroma became even stronger.
She could still hear Wang Yan's voice intermittently, which made Aunt Li even more furious. This woman was truly despicable!
She must have done it on purpose!
Knowing she was on a hunger strike and that she was starving, she still called people to her yard and made such a fragrant smell.
I don't know what kind of taste my son has, that he would choose such a vicious woman.
Aunt Li was furious, especially when she heard Wang Yan's voice outside. She wanted nothing more than to run out and tear Wang Yan's mouth apart.
But there are other people inside!
For example, Zhou Jie! She's the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, the kind of girl who wouldn't even dare to raise her head when she saw her, and who had to be very careful when she spoke.
Not to mention Han Luoxue.
That damned Wang Yan! She must have done it on purpose... After they get married, she'll teach this woman a lesson!
"Little Xue'er, when are you going to be able to bring your two little ones out?"
Zhou Jie really missed the two little ones. It had been so long since she had seen them, and she wondered if the two little ones still recognized her.
"I don't know either! They're both too young, and the elders are keeping a close eye on them. I guess they'll have to wait until they can walk!"
Zhou Jie pouted: "Can't I even borrow it for one day?"
"Do you have the patience to look after the child?" Actually, Zhou Jie is just like a child. You can ask her to look after the child for a while, but after a short time, she will get annoyed herself!
"Of course I do, I can watch over them all day long..." Zhou Jie thought to herself. Anyway, there were usually maids and wet nurses watching over them, so she only needed to check on them occasionally, which wasn't particularly troublesome!
"Heh, do you think I believe that?"
Han Luoxue smiled, while Du Linlang looked on with envy: "Sister Xue'er, you're really lucky. I wonder when I'll be able to..."
She's been married for a while now and really wants twins!
"Wang Yan is the best!"
"I didn't know anything, and then I had a child!" Wang Yan blushed as she said this. Although they had already gotten married back in their hometown, the banquet here hadn't been held yet, and she felt that it wasn't proper.
"Sister Zhou, you should urge Zhou Jun!" Han Luoxue knew the prince's concerns, but she really couldn't speak to Zhou Jun alone!
"Preparations are already underway, and the date should be set in the next few days!"
Zhou Jun didn't want his son to be criticized after he was born. A difference of a few days was fine, but if the difference was too great, there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be gossipy people pointing fingers at him when the child grew up.
"That's true!"
Du Linlang chuckled, now eagerly awaiting good news.
Aunt Li covered her ears tightly inside the room, but the voices of the people talking still reached her ears.
When she heard that Wang Yan might be pregnant, a surge of anger rose in her heart. She said, "How could my son suddenly take a fancy to this young girl, Wang Yan?"
As expected of someone from a small town, she definitely orchestrated her son's death.
Aunt Li stood up angrily, determined to go out and settle accounts with that vile woman, Wang Yan.
She hadn't eaten for a long time, and when she stood up, she found her limbs weak. She raised her hand and held onto something beside her with all her might. It took her a while to regain her balance before the dizziness gradually subsided.
She staggered to the door, and just as she was about to step out, everything went black, and she fell to the ground with a thud!
Aunt Li lost consciousness instantly.
Han Luoxue still heard the commotion inside the room, though it was very faint.
But she had been watching closely, so she called a maid and asked her to go in and check. Sure enough, she heard the maid's terrified cry: "Madam, Madam has fainted!"
By the time everyone arrived, Aunt Li had already slowly opened her eyes.
After fasting for several days, she lost a lot of weight.
Zhou Jun rushed back after hearing the news. When he saw Aunt Li looking haggard, Zhou Jun's expression was extremely complicated.
"Have some millet porridge first!"
After taking his pulse, the doctor could only shake his head helplessly.
Seeing the doctor's expression, Aunt Li's heart skipped a beat: "Am I...am I alright?"
She's only been starving for a few days, could she have some terminal illness? Why does the doctor look so unwell?
