Madam Chu has regained consciousness and is leaning against the bedside drinking her medicine.
Upon seeing Madam Chu enter, Old Madam Chu deliberately scolded her:
"You! How long has it been since you last came home? If it weren't for this old woman being sick, it would be really difficult to see you!"
"Mother……"
Tears welled in Madam Chu's eyes as she slowly walked to Old Madam Chu's bedside...
"Alright! I was just saying. Mother knows that once a woman is married, she can't always go back to her parents' home! Mother knows you are a filial and good child, and Mother doesn't blame you!"
When Old Madam Chu saw that Madam Chu's eyes were filled with tears, she felt extremely distressed and took Madam Chu's hand, making her sit on the edge of the bed.
She tenderly wiped away the tears from Chu's face.
Chu cried even more aggrievedly and threw herself into the arms of Old Madam Chu.
"Mother, I...I just miss you so much!"
"You! You come to see this old woman whenever you want. You're a daughter of a military family, how could you lose yourself because of a man? Is it because he doesn't want you to come back often?"
When Madam Chu mentioned Sheng Lingtian, her face showed displeasure. She patted Chu Shi on the back and said...
"Mother is right. I will come home to see you more often from now on!" Madam Chu regretted that she had rarely returned to her parents' home before because Sheng Lingtian disliked her going back.
"That's right! You may be tough on the battlefield, but when it comes to matters of the heart, you're completely outmaneuvered! You can't do that again!"
You cry whenever you see me! Is it because of that Aunt Mu?
Old Madam Chu wiped away Chu's tears and asked with heartache.
"No! I just missed you... I..." Madam Chu didn't want Old Madam Chu to worry, so she quickly denied it.
"Sigh... Lan'er, I warned you long ago."
Sheng Lingtian, who came from a humble rural background, has managed to climb to his current position. How could he be a simple-minded person?
You! Everyone says you are intelligent and skilled in both literature and martial arts, but you are too simple-minded.
Old Madam Chu sighed at this point and continued:
"But it's good that I know what kind of person Sheng Lingtian is. I'll have to be more careful in the future."
"Now that you have both a son and a daughter, don't focus all your attention on romance. Protect your dowry and leave it for your children! Stop foolishly contributing to the household expenses! As for that woman, don't worry about her. Don't be foolish enough to think she's favored now. In a few years, when she gets old and loses her beauty, Sheng Lingtian will naturally stop caring about her."
"Men are all like that. Even your father had a concubine, didn't he?"
"I understand your suffering, but every woman has to endure this kind of suffering..."
"Lan'er! Try to think more positively..."
Old Madam Chu already knew what had happened at the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and offered her words of comfort.
"I know, Mother. From now on, I will never shed a tear for Sheng Lingtian again!"
Chu was not actually crying for Sheng Lingtian, but seeing her mother's sickly appearance, she suddenly thought of her father.
She was terrified that her mother would leave her like her father had...
In addition, recalling the incident at Yanyu Tower and how she had crippled her elder brother's legs, Chu Shi was overwhelmed with grief and could not help but feel sorrow.
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Chu smiled:
"Good! That's more like my daughter. I heard you brought Wanwan along too, where is she? Bring her here quickly so I can see her!"
"Wanwan is in my room!"
"Cuizhu, go see if Wanwan is awake. If she is, bring her here!"
"Look at Old Madam Chu and say this."
"good!"
Cuizhu accepted the order and left.
Madam Chu continued chatting with Old Madam Chu.
A short while later, Sheng Wanwan was carried in.
When Old Madam Chu saw Sheng Wanwan's appearance, she exclaimed in surprise:
"This child is so beautiful, even prettier than you were when you were little!"
Is this my maternal grandmother? No wonder my mother is so beautiful, she takes after my maternal grandmother!
Although she is not young, you can still tell that she must have been a stunning beauty in her youth!
Wow! I'm so lucky to have been born into this family where everyone is so good-looking! I can't wait to grow up, hehehe...
Sheng Wanwan looked at Old Madam Chu with her big, round eyes; she was incredibly cute.
When Old Madam Chu saw Sheng Wanwan's appearance, she liked her even more.
He held Sheng Wanwan tightly, unable to put her down, and instructed his maid, Han, to give Wanwan many gifts.
Sheng Wanwan tried hard to lift her head to look outside, but she was too small to lift her head.
Disappointed, she shrank back into her swaddling clothes, pouting and sulking.
Why would I want to wear a baby's body? It's so inconvenient for everything!
When Madam Chu saw her daughter's appearance, her previous gloom vanished, and a faint smile appeared on her lips...
"Oh dear! Is this child sulking because she can't see the gift I gave her?"
Looking at Sheng Wanwan's expression, Old Madam Chu seemed to understand what she meant.
She smiled and glanced at Madam Chu, noticing that Madam Chu no longer seemed distressed and was in a cheerful mood.
They then lifted Sheng Wanwan up a bit and had Granny Han bring the gifts over for her to see.
Upon seeing this, Sheng Wanwan immediately became happy.
The little hand suddenly grabbed a gold bracelet, pulled it over and bit it, as if trying to determine whether the gold bracelet was real or fake.
Upon seeing this, Old Madam Chu smiled and her eyes narrowed.
"Wow! What a little money-grubber! Hahaha... This kid is hilarious!"
With a smile, Old Madam Chu took the bracelet from Sheng Wanwan's hand and asked Granny Han to put it away for her.
When Sheng Wanwan saw that the gold bracelet in her hand was gone, she pouted in dissatisfaction.
"You little rascal, you like all this jewelry at such a young age? Hehehe... Don't worry! Let your mother keep these things for you. When you're older, she can let you wear them!"
As she spoke, Old Madam Chu smiled and gently rubbed Sheng Wanwan's little nose...
Sheng Wanwan felt relieved after hearing what Old Madam Chu said.
She blinked her big eyes and looked at Old Madam Chu.
Hmm! This grandmother is really nice, it's a pity she's going to pass away after New Year's Eve, tsk tsk tsk... Considering all these gifts, I think I should give her something nice so she can live to see me grow up!
But with my grandmother watching me like this, how can I tamper with her medicine?
[Oh dear, Grandma, I know I'm cute, but you can't keep staring at me like that! How am I supposed to get your medicine out like this?]
