"Mom, why are you crying again? Does your stomach still hurt?" Dabao asked loudly while standing at the door.
Wang, who had retreated to the side room, hurried over and took Dabao away.
Chen Afu and Chu Lingxuan smiled at each other. That little thing must have done it on purpose.
Chen Afu felt sleepy again and lay down to rest. Chu Lingxuan covered her with the quilt and said softly, "You've been tired for so long, get some good sleep."
Chen Ahfu's mind flashed back to the angry Golden Swallow, who was so anxious that he kept making noises, "Mommy, quickly carry my brother into the space, I want to play with him...Mommy, hurry up, I'm so anxious, I want to bang my head against the wall, I want to curse...Oh, I really want to play with my brother..."
Chen Afu was so sleepy that he fell into sleep again.
She was awakened by the crying of the children. It was already dark, the lights were on in the room, two crying children were held by their nurse, Chu Lingxuan looked at them anxiously.
When Nanny Li saw Chen Ahfu wake up, she smiled and said, "I don't know what happened to my brother. He drank the nurse's milk this morning, but since he drank the grandmother's milk, he no longer drinks their milk."
Chen Ahfu stood up and smiled as he took Yu Ge'er, who was crying the most. Strangely, Yu Ge'er stopped crying as soon as he entered Chen Ahfu's arms, and eagerly opened his mouth to look for the bottle. Once he put the bottle in his mouth, he eagerly started to eat.
The child was still young, so Chen Ahfu fed him with his milk. Then he brought Ming Ge'er over and fed him. The two little brothers lay on their cribs and looked at the sky in great comfort.
The two maids carried the small table to the bed, on which were placed chicken soup, pig's trotter soup, crucian carp soup, fried pork liver, and three-fresh tofu. Chen Ahfu was hungry, and although these soups and dishes did not have much salt, she still ate a lot. Besides, the two boys had to wait for her to feed them, so they had to eat more.
After she finished her meal, she saw that Chu Lingxuan had not left yet, so she asked, "Aren't you going to the outer courtyard to rest?"
Chu Lingxuan said unhappily, "My wife and son are here, why should I go to the outer courtyard?"
Chen Afu said, "The children are noisy, I'm worried that you won't be able to sleep well at night."
"It's okay." Chu Lingxuan said.
Li Mama originally thought that she would take night shifts these days so that she could take care of the grandmother. But when she saw the young couple being so affectionate, she smiled with joy.
I thought to myself, I had always thought that the master and mistress of the original owner's family treated each other with respect and were the most loving couple. But it turned out that I was wrong. The most loving couple was my own uncle and grandmother.
On October 3rd, the Chu family held a lively third-day bath banquet for the child, and all the respectable families in Dingzhou Prefecture came.
In fact, you don't need to invite so many people for the third day of the third month, just a few relatives and friends will do. But the old marquis felt that he had two fat great-grandsons at once, so he was happy and had to make it lively. He still had a great-great-grandson in the capital, but that child was born to the illegitimate son of the second wife. He didn't value the second wife in the first place, and how could the son of the illegitimate grandson be compared with the twin legitimate sons of the eldest grandson of the first wife.
Because Chen Ming and Wang Shi didn't like appearing in front of guests at the same time as Chen Shiying, and they also couldn't get along with the official family, Chen Ming's family would not come today and said they would come to see the child tomorrow.
Chen Ming was not feeling well. Chen Shiying and Wang stood under the window and cried together. In that scene, people who didn't know would think they were a couple. Although he knew that they were concerned about Ah Fu, his eyes were red at that time. But seeing them like that, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. It's understandable that a woman cries like that, but Chen Shiying is too effeminate. How can a man cry like that...
The Chu family had no adult hostess except Chen Afu, so Jiang came early. She would be responsible for entertaining the female guests today. Except for the old lady, everyone in the Chen family came, including Chen Yuhui.
Chen Yuhui was invited to come, not only because he had become normal, but also because the He family was coming today. If the younger sister did not come to the third-day bath of her elder sister's son, she would be criticized.
Before coming, Jiang called Chen Yuhui to her side and told her that girls should be more reserved and that unmarried daughters-in-law should stay away from the women of their husbands' families. Just a face-to-face meeting would be enough...
Jiang couldn't say it too bluntly. She was afraid that Chen Yuhui would shamelessly try to get close to her and be disliked by the He family. The He family had originally set their sights on the legitimate daughter Chen Yuqing, but they were very unhappy that this concubine's daughter had used such means to get close to her. On the day of the marriage proposal, Mrs. He and He Linsheng looked unhappy. If something unpleasant happened in the Chu family, it would cause trouble for Chen Afu.
The Fu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qin, and Mrs. Liu, who were good friends with Chen Afu, went into the bedroom to visit Chen Afu, while the others were chatting and laughing outside.
The three Chen sisters were almost always in the room with Chen Afu, which made Chen Afu very uncomfortable. The person who made her uncomfortable was of course Chen Yuhui. If it weren't for Grandma Fu and others in the room, she would have directly kicked Chen Yuhui out.
Chen Ahfu was already upset when she saw that face that looked like everyone owed her something, but that damn girl deliberately brought up something that was not related to the topic, and her words were so unpleasant, "Oh my God, eldest sister's belly is still so big, what can I do if it can't be reduced... These two children are so small, their faces are wrinkled like old men, they don't look like their sister and brother-in-law at all..."
"Second sister!" Chen Yuqing pulled her sleeve unhappily.
Chen Yuhui slapped Chen Yuqing's hand away. She did it on purpose. Chen Yuhui just wanted to piss off Chen Afu.
She heard her father go home and tell Jiang how dangerous Chen Ahfu's delivery was, how she almost lost three lives, how sad Chu Lingxuan was, how he stood under the window and called "Ahfu", and cried in the end. He also said that this son-in-law was a good choice, he was good to his daughter, and he was loyal and righteous.
Although she knew her father had cried, she had always thought that her father was a man of rich emotions, so it was expected that he would cry. But Chu Lingxuan was as cold as ice, so how could he cry for Chen Afu? Grandma had always said that Chu Lingxuan wanted to marry her at first. It can be seen that men are fickle, and even the best men can be easily seduced by women.
She struggled a little in her heart. If Chen Afu really died, should she marry He Linsheng as promised, or break off the engagement again and marry Chu Lingxuan?
If she really had to choose who to marry, she would still choose Chu Lingxuan. Although marrying him would only make her a successor, she was willing...
Seeing Chen Yuhui's "fighting chicken" look, Chen Ahfu couldn't help but sneered, "Second sister, even if my belly is bigger, if we walk out together, I'm still much more beautiful than you."
Madam Liu chuckled and pointed at Chen Ahfu, saying, "They say that Lord Chen is gentle and elegant, and smiles whenever he sees someone. You are his daughter, but how come you are not like him at all and speak so bluntly? Even if the words 'more beautiful' are true, you can't say them so clearly."
