During the last few days of her confinement, Tonghua was finally able to go downstairs and have dinner with Qin Zun and the others.
As soon as Tonghua took her seat, Song Yirou warmly invited her to eat: "Come on, we've been waiting for you. Look, I asked the kitchen to prepare these dishes for you. I don't know if they will suit your taste."
After the previous confrontations, Tonghua did not think that she was kind-hearted, but felt that her words seemed to have hidden meanings, which all revealed her identity as the "hostess", as if Tonghua was a guest who came in. However, if Tonghua carefully investigated these words, it seemed that she was making a big deal out of nothing.
Tonghua chose to respond to all this with a smile, acting as if she had no idea of the hidden meaning behind her words. She said, "It smells so good! Today's dishes are so rich. Thank you, mother-in-law."
Song Yirou: "You're welcome, I was just talking."
Tonghua continued to play along with her, "Without your 'care' these days, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly. Mother-in-law, you've given so much, and I remember everything."
She didn't know if she was just being too suspicious, but Song Yirou always felt that Tong Hua was playing tricks on her.
Song Yirou picked up a dish with chopsticks and said to Tonghua, "Daughter-in-law, you have worked the hardest during this period. Come and try the scrambled eggs with shrimp made by Aunt Wang."
"To say we're the hardest hit is a bit too much. It's obviously you, grandma, who's been working the hardest. You're the one thinking of ways every day, trying so hard to let us rest and recuperate. You're working so hard. You should eat more."
Tonghua also picked up a piece of food for Song Yirou with chopsticks.
The two sides exchanged arguments at the table, and the struggle was almost reaching a climax.
After dinner, Tonghua returned to her room and fell on the bed, exhausted.
She swore that the meal she just had was definitely the most difficult meal she had ever had in her life. She didn't eat much, but she used up a lot of her brain cells because she was just thinking about competing with others.
Qin Zun, who followed closely, pounced on Tonghua from behind, tickling her and teasing her.
"Ahahaha, stop...scratch, stop scratching...I can't breathe...hahaha..."
Tonghua was tickled until tears came out, and only then did Qin Zun let her go.
"Tell me, when did you become so close to my mother?"
"Huh?! You said I have a good relationship with your mother?"
Tonghua was almost frightened by Qin Zun's words and fell off the bed. Fortunately, Qin Zun was quick-witted and put his arms around Tonghua's waist to prevent her from falling.
Qin Zun raised his eyebrows: "Just now when we were eating, wasn't it?"
"this......"
Tonghua didn't know what to say. Now she really believed what she had asked Qin Zun before. Qin Zun was not intentionally favoring his mother and pretending to be ignorant, but he really didn't know what happened between her and his mother, even though it was right under his nose.
After a long and agonizing thought, Tonghua could only say, against her will, "My relationship with my mother-in-law is pretty good."
It's so good that they're about to fight.
Qin Zun felt relieved: "That's good. She told me before that she would try to accept you, so I agreed to let her stay. Now that you two can get along well, I feel relieved."
Tonghua didn't expect that there was such a reason behind letting her mother-in-law stay, but the current situation is very obvious. Her mother-in-law broke her promise, or she had no intention of getting along well with her from the beginning.
The reason why she promised Qin Zun that she would accept herself was just to move into this house in a natural way.
Tonghua found Tang Shiyao to discuss what to do next, because she felt more and more that her mother-in-law had planned to live here from a long time ago, and it must not be just for the purpose of showing off her power as the hostess in Yushan for a month and a half and disgusting herself.
Tonghua said sullenly, "Shiyao, I really feel bad. I'm in big trouble!"
"Don't worry, Tongtong. You said before that her relationship with Qin Zun is not very good. Even if she has any bad ideas, Qin Zun will definitely stand on your side. You have to believe him! And believe me too. We will definitely stand on your side."
"Forget it. With his brain, he actually thinks that I have a good relationship with his mother! I'm almost mad at him!"
She has to greet her mother-in-law with a smile every day, but in fact, the relationship between the two of them is almost incompatible, but Qin Zun knows nothing about it. Every time she thinks of this, Tonghua feels suffocated.
Tang Shiyao tried to find a way to persuade Tonghua, but gradually she discovered something was wrong.
"Tonghua, what's wrong with you? I just saw you moving around a lot. Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, it's my back. I've been feeling itchy these past few days, and it's making me very uncomfortable. Can you help me take a look?"
Tang Shiyao lifted up the clothes on Tonghua's back. Apart from the scars left over a month ago, there was nothing on it.
"You don't have anything on your back, how can it itch?"
"I don't know. I've been itching for days."
Tang Shiyao carefully observed Tonghua's back, and suddenly saw some small red spots next to the wound on her back.
Tang Shiyao rubbed it for a while and said hesitantly: "Tongtong, are you allergic?"
"That's impossible. I've never had an allergy."
"What are these red dots?"
The two looked at each other. Tonghua instructed the butler to ask a private doctor to examine her, and specifically told the butler not to alarm anyone.
After the doctor finished the examination, he said, "Young Madam, have you eaten anything you shouldn't have recently?"
Tonghua immediately replied, "No, I only eat with my family. I don't usually eat anything else."
"Madam, do you remember what you have eaten these days?"
Tonghua curled her lips and said helplessly, "This is a bit difficult for me. The dishes for three meals a day are quite rich, so how can I remember so many? But I do remember there is a dish of scrambled eggs with shrimp."
The doctor's eyes moved: "Shrimp and scrambled eggs? Are you sure?!"
"right."
The reason why Tonghua remembered it so clearly was that this dish was always on the table in the past few days, and sometimes her mother-in-law would serve her this dish from time to time.
After hearing this, the doctor fell silent.
Tang Shiyao, standing aside, hurriedly interrupted, "Is there something wrong with this dish?"
"This dish is naturally fine for most people, but since the young lady just gave birth and has injuries that haven't healed yet, we don't recommend eating seafood, eggs, or other irritants. This will affect wound healing and cause inflammation."
