"Zhi'er, what's wrong with you? Why haven't you consummated your marriage?" Chen Qiuling came down and asked, pretending to be serious.
Chen Zhi touched his nose. "The shop has been too busy lately, and I'm a bit tired, so I haven't had this idea."
"Lingling!" Chen Qiuling grabbed Hu Lingling's hand and patted it comfortingly. "You know how busy this shop is. As Zhi'er's wife, you should be more understanding of him. Look at Zhi'er, he's tall and strong, does he look like someone who's sick?"
Hu Lingling sneered, "Mother-in-law, you're a woman too. You're still trying to fool me. I didn't say your son is sick; Bai Nuo told me!"
"That bitch again!" Chen Qiuling was filled with hatred, but she still said aloud, "Lingling, you just married into this family and don't know the situation. How can you listen to her nonsense? I didn't want to tell you this, but I have to today. You know, your father-in-law had a wife before, who has passed away.

If you listen to what they say, you will be tricked and you will be doing what they want."
Chen Qiuling's words were filled with helplessness, and Hu Lingling's heart also wavered. Before she married into the Bai family, her mother had also told her, "Is Chen Zhi really not sick?"
Chen Qiuling quickly said, "He's really not sick. Think about it, our family has never had any contact with them. How would they know if Chen Zhi is sick or not? Especially not that kind of illness. How would Bai Nuo, a mere girl, know? Right?"
Hu Lingling was still a little hesitant, but Chen Qiuling continued, "Originally, I shouldn't be talking about your relationship as a mother, but you're a good child, and I can't bear to see you suffer. When your father-in-law comes back, I'll have him talk to him!"
