Chapter 132 Does the old man really have to come?
"Why in broad daylight..."
Jiang Wan Ning quickly covered Shen Ru Zhi's mouth.
"Uncle, we need to talk to Auntie about something, and we're in a bit of a hurry, that's why we barged in."
Neither of them expected that they would do such a thing in broad daylight.
"You guys chat first, I'll go get busy." Shen Zhao rushed out as if fleeing.
This left Madam Wang feeling increasingly awkward. She quickly gestured for the two to sit down, asking, "Is there something you need, Your Highness?"
Jiang Wanning briefly explained the situation.
Wang Shi also became nervous, "Is your mother alright?"
"It's alright for now," Jiang Wanning said.
Wang was relieved. "After giving Zhizhi to me, I didn't linger and went straight to the Marquis's residence."
"The food box was not touched by anyone during this period."
"Because I love sweets, I've been craving them more and more lately," Wang said somewhat embarrassedly, "so I ate two extra pieces."
"Your mother found it a bit too greasy, so she only ate a small half piece."
After hearing what Wang said, Jiang Wanning was also a little confused.
If the poison was only applied to one piece, how could the person who applied it accurately determine who would eat the poisoned piece?
"Auntie, may I take your pulse?"
Without any hesitation, Wang rolled up her sleeves and placed her hands on the table.
Jiang Wan Ning gently placed her fingers on her wrist.
Shen Ruzhi looked at Jiang Wan Ning's slightly furrowed brows and felt anxious, yet dared not disturb her.
He could only wander around the two of them, occasionally taking a sip of herbal tea.
Madam Wang also looked at Jiang Wan Ning with some nervousness. She had already been poisoned and her health was severely damaged in the Ning'an Marquis's residence.
Let's see if Jiang Wanru's condition is more serious than Zhou's.
"Your Highness, please speak frankly. I can handle it," Wang Shi said without hesitation.
Shen Ruzhi also came over, "Ningning, what's going on?"
Jiang Wan Ning withdrew her hand, her brows still furrowed. "I think it would be better to ask Uncle to come over."
Shen Ruzhi and Wang Shi were taken aback. "Ningning, is it really necessary for the old man to come? Is that right?"
Jiang Wan Ning nodded, "Auntie's health condition is somewhat special, so Uncle must be informed."
"I'll go find my father right now." Shen Ruzhi lifted her skirt and walked towards the study.
Wang appeared calm, but she couldn't help feeling somewhat sorry for Shen Zhao.
Not long after, Shen Zhao stumbled in, slipped on his foot and fell on his backside as he crossed the threshold.
"Slow down," Wang said, quickly going to help him up.
Shen Zhao held Wang's hand tightly and then came to Jiang Wan Ning's side. "Ning'er, tell me honestly, what about your aunt?"
Shen Ruzhi glanced at the three people surrounding her, took a sip of tea, and said, "Don't rush."
"Auntie is not in any danger."
Shen Zhao wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. "As long as there's no danger to my life, that's good."
"However, the fetus in her womb is unstable and there is a risk of miscarriage."
Shen Zhao nodded, "If it's unstable, it's unstable. As long as your aunt is alright, that's all that matters."
After Shen Zhao finished speaking, he suddenly froze, his eyes widening in disbelief, and said, "Ning girl...you...what did you say?"
"What birth sign? Whose birth sign is unstable?"
Wang subconsciously reached out and touched her stomach. "I...am pregnant?"
Jiang Wan Ning curled her lips, "It's been more than a month, but it's been too short a time. I only made this conclusion after a long period of observation."
Shen Zhao burst into laughter, turned around, hugged Wang Shi, kissed her, and spun her around.
“The children are still here.” Wang blushed.
“Uncle,” Jiang Wan Ning reminded him in a low voice.
Shen Zhao was so happy that he suddenly remembered what Jiang Wan Ning had said about the unstable pregnancy.
He carefully helped Wang Shi sit down, saying, "Ning girl, your uncle can rest assured about your medical skills."
"That's not to say..."
"Auntie's health was indeed damaged in the past, making it difficult for her to conceive, but it doesn't mean she can't conceive."
Jiang Wanning explained, "It seems that Auntie has recovered a lot in terms of health during this period, plus... the frequency of visits has increased."
"Uncle, you are in relatively good health, which is why you were able to have this."
Jiang Wan Ning's words were subtle, but Shen Zhao and Wang Shi naturally understood them.
Jiang Wan Ning is already married, so there's nothing wrong with that; it's just that Shen Ru Zhi is still in her boudoir...
"Hey, you don't need to hide from me," Shen Ruzhi said casually. "The storybook I'm reading is even more... well, more... than when I saw you guys earlier."
"Nonsense!" Shen Zhao's face turned cold. "A young woman like you, spending all your time reading useless things."
"I haven't even asked you yet, old man. Aren't you always too busy to come home?"
Shen Ruzhi squinted at Shen Zhao, "How do you have time..."
Shen Zhao coughed awkwardly twice.
“I didn’t mean it was about you, Mother. That’s not what I meant,” Shen Ruzhi explained, remembering her mistake.
Mrs. Wang chuckled softly, "There's a dog hole in our backyard."
"Madam," Shen Zhao quickly stopped Wang Shi from speaking.
"Ah—I understand." Shen Ruzhi said loudly, "I said I wanted to seal up that dog hole, but you wouldn't let me."
"It turns out that every time you pretended to go out, you were waiting for me to sneak away and then come back."
Shen Zhao has been keeping Shen Ruzhi locked up in the mansion for the past few days, hoping to make her learn more about needlework and read more books.
Unexpectedly, the presence of Wang Shi has made things inconvenient for him, and he doesn't know how to ask Chen Ruzhi to do so.
He knew that Shen Ruzhi was restless, but with him at home, she couldn't easily escape.
He could only pretend to go out to court to give Shen Ruzhi an opportunity to go out and play. Fearing that the gatekeeper would gossip, he took a detour and climbed in through the dog hole.
Shen Ruzhi knew Shen Zhao too well, so Wang Shi only needed to say a few words before she immediately understood what was going on.
"Ning girl, is it serious that the pregnancy is unstable?" Shen Zhao changed the subject.
Shen Ruzhi stopped making a fuss and stared at Jiang Wanning.
"The first three months are not stable, so you should have less sex."
Jiang Wanning learned medicine from Yu Hai and didn't think much of the medical advice, which made Shen Zhao and Wang Shi feel embarrassed.
“Especially Uncle, you must not act recklessly again.”
"It's okay to wait until the pregnancy is more stable after three months, even if it takes longer."
Shen Zhao nodded repeatedly, while Wang Shi covered her mouth and chuckled.
Shen Ruzhi quieted down.
Madam Wang looked at Shen Ruzhi and said softly, "Zhizhi, don't worry, you will always be your father's daughter."
"If you wish, you will always be my daughter."
Shen Zhao then realized what was happening and deliberately said, "Why is Madam comforting this little rascal? She won't think much of it."
"Where is she going? Does she not come home now that she has a younger brother or sister?"
Then he said to Shen Ruzhi, "You should stay here and cause trouble for me, instead of going out and causing trouble for others."
Shen Ruzhi stretched out her arms and hugged Shen Zhao, "Old man."
"You're dreaming."
