When I saw Zheng Yutong again, I noticed that she looked much more haggard.
"Thank you for your concern, great-aunt. It's just an old ailment," Zheng Yutong said, her heart filled with bitterness. She hadn't had a single peaceful night's sleep since marrying Jing Shuo.
Jing Shuo was bothered by her legs, so he made her stand and serve him during the day, and kneel and keep watch at night.
Sometimes when he got angry, he would hit himself with his cane. Zheng Yutong was already weak, and this really made her quite ill.
Thinking of these painful and aggrieved feelings, Zheng Yutong's eyes filled with tears, and she lowered her head to make an excuse.
"Please sit in the side hall for a while longer. Yu Tong will go for a walk; perhaps her cough will improve."
Empress Dowager Zheng couldn't bear to see her like this, so she hurriedly waved her hand and told her to go out and calm down.
After Zheng Yutong left, Zhao Nianfu subtly gave her maid a look, and the maid seized the opportunity to sneak out of the side hall.
Seeing Zheng Yutong's listless appearance, Empress Dowager Zheng did not forget to mock Empress Dowager Cheng.
"Such a fine young lady, she's so worried about getting married. I wonder if she really cares about our Yutong."
Empress Dowager Cheng no longer cared about Jing Shuo, so how could she know the details of Zheng Yutong's life?
However, upon suddenly seeing Zheng Yutong's haggard appearance, I had a hunch.
Even if Empress Dowager Zheng says she feels sorry for Zheng Yutong, what good is it? She won't save Zheng Yutong from this "fire pit".
Empress Dowager Cheng, of course, could not afford to lose face in front of Empress Dowager Zheng, and spoke cryptically with a nonchalant air.
"This shows that Suyun is truly blessed. It has been a long time since I have seen Sister Zheng so tolerant."
"You..." Empress Dowager Zheng was choked to death by Empress Dowager Cheng's words.
Cheng Suyun finally heard the Empress Dowager Cheng say a word in her defense, and she prepared to express her gratitude.
The moment she opened her mouth, she heard Empress Dowager Cheng smilingly cast a glance at Yue Jiang.
"Your Highness, I think you are the most blessed. The child in your womb will surely be a great-grandchild."
"It is truly thanks to you and the Crown Prince that I, at my age, am fortunate enough to have four generations living under one roof."
Yue Jiang noticed that Empress Dowager Cheng was deliberately ignoring Cheng Suyun, which is why she turned around and praised herself.
With Xian Ge, whom she thought had the potential to become a force to be reckoned with, she probably didn't have much affection for the child in her womb.
Yue Jiang replied politely and modestly, "Grandmother Cheng is a blessed person, and Yue Jiang dares not accept such high praise."
