Since the conversation between the mother and daughter ended, Tong Cheng'er has found herself running into Liu Shaoyi from time to time.
Sometimes she would walk the cat in the garden, sometimes in her third brother's yard, and sometimes she would even run into her on her way back after paying her respects in the morning.
The probability was so high that even without thinking, Tong Cheng'er knew there was something fishy going on.
She felt helpless, but at the same time, she was also a little curious about how her mother had managed to bring the two of them together, since her mother always acted on a whim and had no time plan.
Having encountered this several times, Tong Cheng'er became increasingly reluctant to leave her own courtyard.
This caused Shumulushi to start worrying again.
That night, she talked about it with Alhatu before going to bed. Alhatu said to her, "You're just bored. It's too early to talk about your daughter. Arranging things like this now will only make her feel uncomfortable, and then it will be even more impossible for her to be with Shaoyi."
After careful consideration, Shumulu thought it made sense, but had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being.
Tong Cheng'er later realized that her mother seemed to have given up on this idea, breathed a sigh of relief, and then returned to her usual routine.
Although Shumulu's actions were done discreetly, if even a lazy girl like Tong Cheng'er could discover it, then Liu Shaoyi, the other party involved, would naturally be able to as well.
After learning about Shumulu's idea, Liu Shaoyi thought about it carefully and actually thought it was not bad.
He had lived in the Tong family's residence for nearly two years. Although he was a guest, the Tong family always treated him very kindly. As for his lovely and charming little sister, Tong Cheng'er, he originally had no romantic feelings for her.
However, after what Shumulu did, Liu Shaoyi couldn't help but think about it.
Then I kept it in mind.
As for Tong Cheng'er's personality, Liu Shaoyi knew it too, and he didn't care. A girl like that should be pampered.
The only thing that made Liu Shaoyi uncertain was that Tong Cheng'er would also participate in the talent show.
It's still early, no rush.
Shumulu's matchmaking for the two was done discreetly. Apart from the two parties involved, only Alhatu knew about it, so naturally nothing was spread. Even though Yinzhen sent people to keep an eye on the Tong family's news, he was unaware of this matter.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has been more than a month since Tong Xuewen and Shu Yu got married.
As a new wife, Shu Yu was initially quite cautious, but she discovered that her in-laws were kind, her husband was considerate, her sisters-in-law were harmonious, and her sister-in-law treated her with utmost sincerity.
Shu Yu couldn't help but sigh, "It must be incredibly lucky for my family to have married into such a family."
Living a comfortable life, she observed the Tong family's behavior and had great confidence in Tong Xuewen. On one of her visits back to her parents' home, she brought back the two rather attractive maids she had originally brought with her.
It's not surprising that she did this. Tong Xuewen's appearance alone was very attractive to young girls of the right age. Ordinary maids might be okay, but those with average looks wouldn't dare to think about such things.
However, the two rather attractive maids were quite audacious. Since they knew that their purpose in coming as part of the dowry was to serve their master when he was unavailable, they became even more unrestrained when looking at Tong Xuewen.
Tong Xuewen is like a piece of juicy braised pork; anyone with a bit of capital would want to take a bite out of him.
The young couple's relationship was very strong. Although Shu Yu trusted Tong Xuewen, she couldn't feel comfortable having these two people staring at her every day.
Then she sent those two troublesome maids back to her parents' home.
Out of sight, out of mind.
The two maids were completely bewildered when they were sent back to the Guarjia Mansion. It was rare for a dowry maid to be sent back to her maiden home by her master, but these two became the typical examples.
The two maids were naturally unwilling to accept this. Tong Xuewen was a rare good man, and they were counting on him! After all, everyone has dreams, right? But in the end, he was sent back.
But no matter how unwilling they were, there was nothing they could do; it wasn't something they could control.
Shu Yu naturally didn't care what the two maids thought; all she knew was that sending the person back made her feel much better.
As for the remaining maids, they became even more obedient after seeing the two who had been sent back.
The Tong family didn't think anything of Shu Yu's actions. The maid was brought by Shu Yu, and if she didn't serve well, Shu Yu could decide how to deal with her. No one would think she was jealous.
The only person who was a little worried was Shu Yu's mother.
She was a little worried that her daughter's actions would be criticized by her in-laws, but after hearing her daughter talk about the Tong family's rules and circumstances, she felt relieved and began to feel fortunate that her daughter had found a good home.
She was a woman, and she knew all too well the hardships women faced. If her daughter were to marry into a family of equal social standing, she certainly wouldn't have prepared those two maids. Even if her daughter suffered mistreatment in her husband's family after marriage, she could still go to their home to demand an explanation.
However, the Tong family was still too high a social standing for their family. She had hesitated before the engagement, but after meeting Tong Xuewen, she couldn't bear to part with such a son-in-law, so she made the engagement, which led to the matter of the maidservant accompanying her as a bride.
It can't be said that she didn't love her daughter. The general environment was like that, and the ideas she was exposed to were also like that, so she did it this way. It was also out of a loving mother's heart.
It wasn't her fault, it was the times that were wrong, it was the mindset that was wrong.
Tong Xuewen and Shu Yu, the newlywed couple, are living a harmonious and happy life.
Although Shumulu didn't require her daughter-in-law to pay her respects every day, it didn't mean that her daughter-in-law wouldn't pay her respects. After Fucha and Shuyu, the two sisters-in-law, became familiar with each other, they agreed on a date for paying their respects every month, once every three days.
On this day, which was the day for paying respects to the emperor, the family was having breakfast at the breakfast table. Fucha was drinking chicken porridge when she suddenly felt nauseous and gagged twice.
Fucha felt that her actions at the dinner table were truly impolite, and blushed as she said, "Mother, your daughter-in-law is not feeling well and has disturbed everyone's meal."
Shumulu didn't think anything of it; everyone has their uncomfortable moments.
"It's alright, your health is the most important thing."
After saying that, he said to the nanny beside him, "Go and fetch the family physician."
Tong Cheng'er watched from the side. Although she was clueless about love, as a modern person, her first reaction when she saw someone feeling nauseous was whether they were pregnant. Her older brother and sister-in-law had been married for several years, and her sister-in-law hadn't conceived. Both of them were healthy, so it was time for them to have a child.
Thinking this, Tong Cheng'er blurted out, "Sister-in-law, could you be pregnant?"
In fact, Shumulu had a bit of a idea in her mind, but she didn't want to say it because she wasn't sure. She didn't expect her daughter to explain it so clearly.
Lady Fucha did not think in that direction, but upon hearing this, she harbored a hope that it was true.
Her in-laws don't pressure her to have children, but she can't help feeling anxious. She's been married for several years and hasn't gotten pregnant yet, which is something she's been worried about!
Now, after hearing her sister-in-law's words, Lady Fucha was filled with hope that she was indeed pregnant.
Thinking about my sister-in-law's usual good fortune, and the auspicious things she says, I thought she would get her wish.
