People like Chen Lijiao don't need Chen Liyue to deal with them at all, there are people who will deal with them.
Shen Lijiao took a deep breath, as if trying to save some face for herself, and forced back the tears.
"My grandmother wronged me. My mother was ill, so she called me back. After seeing my mother, I came to visit my grandmother."
When the He family was mentioned, Madam Shen was even more displeased, so she did not respond to Shen Lijiao's words.
Chen Lijiao continued: "Now that I'm pregnant, the He family is extremely happy and treats their granddaughter very well."
Shen Liyue then looked up and looked at Shen Lijiao, and saw that her belly was indeed slightly bulging. She thought it was strange that Shen Lijiao was pregnant, but the He family did not send anyone to the Shen family to announce the good news. It was obvious that they really did not take Shen Lijiao's family seriously.
When Mrs. Shen heard that Chen Lijiao was pregnant, her expression relaxed a little and her tone softened a little.
"Since you're pregnant, you should take good care of yourself. The weather is getting colder, so you shouldn't go out so often. Since you're here today, why don't you sit down and talk?"
Shen Lijiao responded and sat down on the right side of Old Madam Shen.
After Shen Lijiao sat down, she glanced at Shen Liyue, but Shen Liyue pretended not to see and continued to sit quietly.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, sister. Why do you look so much more haggard?" Chen Lijiao said.
"Yeah." Chen Liyue seemed not to hear the sarcasm in Chen Lijiao's tone, and smiled faintly: "Business in several shops has been very good recently. It's been a bit busy and I haven't had time to rest."
Shen Lijiao choked when she heard this. She had originally wanted to laugh at Shen Liyue, but she was unexpectedly blocked by Shen Liyue. What was she showing off? Showing off that her business was good, showing off that she made a lot of money?
Shen Lijiao was about to make another mocking remark when Old Madam Shen spoke up: "It's not proper for a girl to show up in public all day long. Outsiders will think that the Shen family has no rules."
Madam Shen still dislikes the eldest wife, especially Jiang and Shen Liyue, mother and daughter.
Jiang said, "It's okay. Now everyone knows that the Shen family has split up, so it won't affect our reputation."
Old Madam Shen glared at Jiang, but could not say anything to refute.
Chen Lijiao continued, "Grandma is right. It's not good for a girl to show up in public like this..."
"Oh?" Chen Liyue interrupted Chen Lijiao, "Then according to my sister, what is considered good for a girl? Like my sister?"
Shen Lijiao's expression changed, her face turning pale and blue. Shen Liyue's words were a direct slap in her face.
But Chen Lijiao remained strong and calm, and put her hand on her belly. "There's nothing wrong with being like me. Now that I'm pregnant, the He family loves me very much. My sister is a little older than me. Has the marriage been decided yet?"
Chen Liyue said, "Look at my sister. After getting married, she's become much more mature in her speech and actions. You can tell from the way she dresses. I remember that she used to love wearing jewelry the most, but now that she's married, she doesn't wear jewelry all over her hair like she used to. I really need to learn more from her in this regard."
“You…” Shen Li was so coquettish that she wanted to curse, but was interrupted by Madam Shen.
"Stop talking, it's giving me a headache." Old Madam Shen was too lazy to deal with it. The eldest wife often came to visit her, but they only brought some cakes and pastries, which were fancy but without any real money. Chen Lijiao came back empty-handed today, and Old Madam Shen didn't dare to say anything more, for fear that Chen Lijiao would ask her for money in return.
"I'm tired and need to rest. If you don't have anything else, you can all go. I won't keep you for lunch."
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly agreed and left.
Chen Lijiao stood up and was about to leave, not caring about seniority or inferiority, and walked in front on her own.
It's such bad luck that I come back so hard and am still so angry.
When Chen Liyue saw that Chen Lijiao was pregnant, she wanted to keep a distance from her. Who knew what was in Chen Lijiao's mind? It would be bad if something happened to her.
Arriving at the gate of the Shen family, Shen Lijiao felt even more helpless when she saw the two carriages in front of her.
In the past, when she went out, she was treated the same as Chen Liyue, and the carriage she rode in was also arranged by the Shen family. But now, looking at her carriage, which was neither new nor old and much smaller than Chen Liyue's, Chen Lijiao was even more furious.
She pinched Zhen'er's hand and got on the carriage. Without waiting to say hello to Shen Liyue, she left.
However, Chen Lijiao did not go back to the He family directly. She asked the two servants who came with the He family to drive the carriage to the Lotus Tower.
Zhen'er got off the car first, holding a few taels of silver in her hand, and said to the two servants.
"Grandma has been suffering from morning sickness lately, and her appetite hasn't been very good. But today she suddenly wanted to eat the food from Lotus House. You two brothers have worked hard, and this money is a reward from Grandma for you to have some wine. Please feel free to do as you please, and come back here to pick up Madam in the afternoon."
The two servants exchanged glances and refused.
"No, no, we are here on Madam's orders to protect Grandma. How can we leave her alone to drink?"
Zhen'er said, "Don't refuse, my two brothers. I'm here with grandma." After saying that, she stuffed the change into one of their hands without waiting for them to refuse.
The two men were half-hearted to begin with, and seeing this situation, they thought nothing serious would happen, so they thanked him, took the silver and went to have a drink.
When Chen Lijiao saw the two of them leave, she asked Zhen'er to ask the servant of Lotus Tower to take the carriage to the backyard. However, she did not enter the Lotus Tower, but took Zhen'er to Huazhi Lane.
Master Zhou hadn't seen Chen Lijiao for some time. Although he was not short of women, seeing Chen Lijiao today still made him feel itchy.
Chen Li is as delicate as her name suggests. Seeing her today, she is even more delicate and charming.
Master Zhou hugged Shen Lijiao and was about to kiss her, but was pushed away by Shen Lijiao.
"Look at how impatient you are." Chen Li said coquettishly, "I came here today to tell you something."
How could Master Zhou listen to all this? "If there is anything, let's talk about it after we finish the important business." As he said that, Master Zhou's hand had already reached into Shen Lijiao's collar and pinched the soft part of her chest a few times.
Chen Lijiao was also aroused by what he did, and the second half of her words were blocked in her mouth by Master Zhou's actions, so she half-heartedly let him eat her up.
After the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, Shen Lijiao lay on Master Zhou’s chest, her face full of satisfaction.
But she had not forgotten the reason she came to see Master Zhou today. She propped herself up halfway with her arms and said, "I have something important to tell you."
Master Zhou snorted, "What big deal can you have?"
Shen Lijiao said: "I'm pregnant."
"What?" Grandpa Zhou opened his eyes and looked at Shen Lijiao's lower abdomen. Only then did he realize that Shen Lijiao's lower abdomen was indeed bulging.
When I touched Chen Lijiao today, I felt that her body had become a lot plumper. I thought she had gained weight recently, but I didn't expect that she was pregnant.
