Chapter 211: It’s Better to Hold Someone than to Carry Them
As for the eldest brother of the Xie family, Shen Heng thought about it but didn't say anything. Xie Jian should have made some arrangements. If she told him, tonight would be another uncomfortable night. Anyway, this kind of thing happened more than once or twice, so he should have known it in his heart.
"My wife, the most taboo thing for a big family is to air their dirty laundry in public. And since you are married to Madam Peng who lives far away in the imperial capital, even Xuan Lang keeps silent, for fear that any groundless rumors will spread that will be detrimental to Madam Peng and the Meng family. Don't worry, they know how to deal with it themselves." His wife has a kind of personality. Once she makes a friend, she will treat the friend sincerely. If she doesn't know the person well, she will inevitably get hurt. In fact, this doesn't bother them at all, and he will protect her.
"I understand, my husband." Chen Heng smiled gently, and she understood the reason very well.
"Husband?" Xie Jian pretended to be calm and nodded softly.
Chen Heng did not ignore the smile that flashed in Xie Jian's eyes. She sat down next to him, linked her arms, and rested her head on his shoulder.
Xie Jian lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Alas, with a family, many things had changed. Before, he'd felt he was a lowly official, taking three steps at a time, being patient and hitting the target. Now, he felt neither of those things mattered. What mattered was handling the aftermath, and only by doing so safely could he ensure a better life for his family.
If the other party still has a bit of kindness, he will leave room for them, which is a test of his skills.
In the carriage, both of them had a slight smile on their lips.
When she woke up the next day, Shen Heng heard the news that Liu Zhiyue had left to return to Yuezhou.
The days began to pass peacefully again.
Chen Heng really likes this kind of plain daily life. She has three meals a day at home. Besides managing the shop, she also takes care of trivial matters. Well, there is not much to do at home. Sister-in-law and Aunt Feng have taken care of it. She is just pretending to do it.
Occasionally, Mengfu would chat with the Peng family, and Peng Yunrong would also return to Yuezhou with his elder brother.
However, these past few days, Shen Heng discovered that her sister-in-law always hesitated to speak to her.
That day, Chen Heng simply asked, "Sister-in-law, do you have something to tell me?"
Xia was troubled for a few days before she simply asked, "Heng, have you been feeling unwell lately?"
"No. It's delicious." Nowadays, every meal is very rich, with fish and meat. There is no need to save food. There is always money to buy fish and meat. She has always had a good appetite, and most importantly, she has a good teeth, so everything she eats is delicious.
"Then, why is there no movement in your belly?" Xia was anxious. Ajian was already eighteen years old, and Aheng was at the right age. Logically, the baby should be born.
Chen Heng: “…” I didn’t expect my sister-in-law to say this.
"If there's nothing wrong with you, why don't you go see Doctor Ajian?" Xia was worried. Aheng had a rosy complexion and looked very healthy. What should she do if the problem was with Ajian?
"No, sister-in-law, there's no need to rush." They haven't even consummated their marriage yet, but Shen Heng felt a little surprised when her sister-in-law brought it up.
She has always been the one on guard against Xie Jian. Their relationship has been developing quite rapidly recently. They even sleep in the same bed. It's normal for Xie Jian to do some things, but this guy doesn't seem to be as impulsive as other young men.
At most, I would hug her and kiss her on the forehead occasionally.
Seeing Ah Heng looking like she was about to give up, Xia's heart sank: "Could it be that Ah Jian really has a problem?"
