Passing by Xie Mansion, a servant of the Jiang family was waiting in the gatehouse and reported back: "Miss, Madam Shen has been taken to Jiang Mansion to wait for news. I came here specially to deliver the news to prevent you from going to the deserted place."
Jiang Yuzhu nodded and went straight to the Jiang Mansion.
In the living room, Chen sat in the main seat, with a sullen face and silent, and the atmosphere was very stagnant.
The lady, who looked wealthy, stood up upon hearing the noise, and said in a sarcastic tone with a forced smile, "This must be Yuzhu, right? She's already married and had children... Oh, she's been married for over three years and still hasn't had a child."
The words imply that Jiang Yuzhu is unable to have children.
No one responded, but Madam Fugui was still able to pick up the words that had fallen on the ground: "Look at my mouth. I'm used to being the boss in Jiangnan. I always say what I think. Yuzhu, please don't be offended."
A fool like Jiang Yuzhu relies on the Jiang family for support. If something goes wrong when she enters their home, all the best people in the Jiang family will come to make trouble.
Chen endured for a long time, then said impatiently: "Sister, Yuzhu has been married for three years, and Yunxi still hasn't found a husband. You'd better worry more about your son's marriage."
With her mother Chen's reminder, Jiang Yuzhu finally understood who the annoying person in front of her was.
Da Chen is worthy of being Lu Yunxi's mother. Both mother and son are annoying.
In Jiang Yuzhu's impression, the original owner threw her heart into Lu Yunxi. Even though she was given a marriage, she foolishly insisted on not consummating the marriage, just to wait and elope with her cousin.
However, it has been more than three years since Lu Yunxi disappeared in the outer sea. The original owner missed him so much that she found Feng Qing as a replacement.
In the book, the original owner's tragedy was caused by Lu Yunxi, and Da Chen's contribution was indispensable.
The elder Chen was arrogant and proud, and had been fighting with the Chen sisters since they were young, always taking the opportunity to make things difficult for them.
Facing the culprit, Jiang Yuzhu crossed her arms and said bluntly: "Yes, aunt is really kind-hearted. The Lu family has no incense yet, but you are meddling in other people's family affairs."
Mrs. Chen didn't get angry when she heard this. Instead, she put on a heartfelt expression and held her chest and said, "Yuzhu, auntie is doing this for your own good. Can you imagine a daughter who hasn't had any pregnancy for more than three years after getting married?"
The Xie family is a prominent family in Jiangnan with strict rules. Just because Jiang Yuzhu has no children, she has violated the seven grounds for divorce.
If it weren't for the Jiang family's face, Jiang Yuzhu would not be as successful as she is today and would have been divorced long ago.
Mrs. Shen was sitting in the side hall, waiting for news. She was immediately delighted to see her daughter-in-law return, but then she was so irritated by Mrs. Chen's words that her eyes drooped. She said nervously, "The Xie family is not in a hurry about the issue of offspring."
The Lu family and the Xie family are both prominent families in Jiangnan, but they are hundreds of miles apart and have no contact with each other.
Da Chen didn't recognize Shen and thought she was the wife of an official in the capital, so she didn't take it seriously.
Hearing Shen's interruption, she immediately understood the other party's identity and said with an apologetic smile, "It is indeed Yuzhu's health that has been damaged. Madam Xie is so tolerant and kind. Yuzhu, why don't you kowtow to your mother-in-law and express your gratitude?"
In her words, Mrs. Chen had already put the problem on Jiang Yuzhu, and Mrs. Chen narrowed her eyes.
Whenever the eldest Chen came to visit, Chen felt that quarrels were inevitable. As the eldest sister, she was arrogant and intolerant, and she even dared to act so presumptuously in the capital.
Chen couldn't stand her daughter suffering any injustice, and was about to scold her, but Shen patted her on the back of her hand.
Shen suppressed her anger and spoke in a very easy-going manner: "Madam Lu, you are wrong. Yuzhu married into the Xie Mansion because the Xie family had done many years of good deeds. God has opened his eyes. Ordinary families are not blessed with such good fortune."
First use courtesy, then force. Shen decided to annoy Da Chen with words first. She became direct after arriving in the capital, but she still had the ability to fight in the house, implying that the Lu family was unlucky.
"As for the issue of offspring, it is my request as a mother-in-law that we wait until later."
Shen spoke openly and frankly, "I'm not blessed with a daughter, so I've always treated Yuzhu like a daughter. Yuzhu just married into the Xie family and has just reached the age of marriage. How can she enjoy their care at such a young age?"
A girl is only fifteen years old when she reaches the age of 15, and her body is still not fully grown. It would be very risky to have children.
Shen was speaking the truth. Childbirth is the gate of hell. She herself is a woman and has experienced this process. She empathizes with Jiang Yuzhu and naturally does not want her to suffer.
"If the people in the capital are so concerned about other people's family affairs, gossiping behind their backs like gossipy women sitting under a tree at the entrance of the village, then it is me, as a mother-in-law, who is being unfair to Yuzhu."
Shen cursed Da Chen in a few words without leaving any trace, and stood up to support her daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Chen's face turned pale and pale. She was about to speak when Mrs. Shen stopped her, "Who says a woman's infertility is her fault? It could also be the man's. Madam Lu needs to be more open-minded."
Even if there are no children in the future, it must be Xie Zhao's fault and has nothing to do with Jiang Yuzhu.
Shen kept whitewashing her daughter-in-law, and even Chen was moved.
Mrs. Chen stared, and after a long while she stammered, "Mrs. Xie, is this your idea or the Xie family's?"
Even though Shen was the clan leader's wife, she couldn't influence the Xie family.
"Of course it's the clan's idea. The entire Xie family is very satisfied with Yuzhu. Besides, our Xie family is prosperous. Even if Yuzhu doesn't give birth, it won't be the end of the family. She can just adopt a child from the clan. On the contrary, the Lu family has few descendants. I heard that Madam Lu is very worried about Mr. Lu's marriage."
Shen anticipated what Da Chen was about to say and gave her a sympathetic look before adding, "Madam Lu, Young Master Lu has feelings for our Yuzhu. No wonder he couldn't forget her and refused to marry her for so many years. It's a dilemma for you as his mother. It's a pity that the Lu family doesn't do much good. Without the phoenix tree, you can't attract the golden phoenix. Regarding the flood in Jiangnan, you should donate more silver."
Shen said it bluntly, the Lu family did not do good deeds, so they had no blessings. If this continued, they would probably have no descendants.
Mrs. Chen was so annoyed by Shen's pressure that she opened her mouth and said angrily, "Jiang Yuzhu and my son have an affair, but she rushed to marry into the Lu family. You, the Xie family, picked up a second-hand piece. What are you so arrogant about?"
If she couldn't win the argument, then she would completely break up with Shen. Mrs. Chen didn't believe that Shen, as a mother-in-law, had no grudges in her heart.
Jiang Yuzhu sneered and said, "Big Chen, you're desperate and are starting to act recklessly?"
No matter how much the original owner liked Lu Yunxi, it had nothing to do with her.
"You think that simply slandering my reputation will destroy the relationship between me and my husband? You're making a wrong calculation!"
When meeting Lu Yunxi secretly, Jiang Yuzhu not only brought her mother but also her mother-in-law, and the main point was honesty.
The secret meeting with Feng Qingcai was really a secret meeting. She was caught by Xie Zhao in a brothel. Did it affect her status?
As long as the Jiang family does not fall, Jiang Yuzhu has the capital to be arrogant.
"Mom, go on."
Jiang Yuzhu blocked the door and pulled out a feather duster from the corner and threw it over.
Chen took it and swung it, first hitting the eldest Chen on the head, slapping her face and cursing, "You and I are sisters, and we are not compatible. I have endured it again and again for the sake of my parents. But today you dare to bully Yuzhu, then there is no need for me to be polite to you, and I will completely break off the relationship!"
The doors and windows were closed, and the maid of the Lu family was held down by Hongxiu and Hongjin. Only the screams of Da Chen could be heard from the room from time to time.
