"Xinyue is so sensible, much better than some people. If any family can marry you in the future, they'll be so happy they'll wake up in the middle of the night."
Tong Xinyue pretended to be shy and pursed her lips without saying a word, but in her heart, she was somewhat restless.
Since her aunt likes her so much, does that mean that if she and Gu Yuchuan were to be together openly, they wouldn't necessarily be completely denied blessings?
If you can be the legal wife, who would want to secretly be the mistress?
Wang Yulian and Tong Xinyue walked into the house hand in hand, looking extremely intimate.
On the contrary, Shen Ling, the legitimate daughter-in-law, didn't even have a place to stay.
She was furious, but also afraid of being completely ignored by the two of them, so she quickly followed to try and make herself noticed.
"Xinyue brought so many things this time, did you think about bringing a gift for your sister-in-law?"
"Anyway, your family is well-off, and I'm pregnant with your little nephew, so you, as his aunt, can't be too stingy."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yulian's face darkened instantly, and Tong Xinyue remained silent.
Shen Ling was deliberately trying to make them uncomfortable, and was about to continue speaking with a smile when...
Lele, who had been hiding at the door, suddenly rushed over headfirst, nearly hitting her in the stomach.
"ah!"
Shen Ling gasped, clutching her stomach in a cold sweat, and scolded her harshly:
"What's wrong with you, kid? Don't you know how to watch where you're going?!"
Tong Xinyue's eyes flickered, and she immediately pulled Lele into her arms, feigning grievance as she defended herself.
“Lele was the one who stood at the door first. Even if he was blocking the way, you can’t deliberately push him and then smear him.”
"Lele is your brother's only child. What are you thinking, bullying him like this?"
Lele's eyes lit up, and she immediately started crying too.
"She pushed me! She's a bad person! Kill her!"
When the conflict broke out, Wang Yulian happened to turn her head to look at the flowers and plants she kept in the yard, and didn't see clearly who bumped into whom.
Furthermore, given her existing resentment towards Shen Ling, it was natural that she wouldn't speak up for Shen Ling.
"What's wrong with you? You're such a grown-up, yet you bully even a little kid."
"Don't forget you're heavily pregnant. It's fine if you get hurt, but if you hurt my precious grandson, I'll settle the score with you."
Shen Ling was scolded again, and she was so angry that she couldn't breathe properly, and her lungs felt a dull pain.
For a moment, she even had an urge to go crazy on the spot and get back all the grievances she had suffered.
But fearing that she might overdo it and harm the baby in her womb, she could only swallow her anger.
Tong Xinyue held Lele in her arms, ostensibly to check Lele's body and see if he was injured.
In fact, her attention was always focused on Shen Ling.
Seeing Shen Ling's discomfiture, she became even more gloating, feeling extremely pleased with herself.
Shen Ling also noticed that Tong Xinyue's gaze had been subtly sweeping over her.
Moreover, there was a clear hostility in that gaze.
It would be one thing if Tong Xinyue didn't get along with Shen Ling, but the problem is that her hostile gaze is now directed at the child in her belly.
As her cousin, wouldn't she want to see Gu Yuchuan have more children?
Shen Ling frowned, wondering what was going on.
Shen Ling wanted to find out more, but Wang Yulian and Tong Xinyue seemed to have conspired to exclude her.
She spent half the day trying to get the information she wanted, but not only did she not get any useful clues, she couldn't even exchange a single word with them, which made her extremely frustrated.
"You blind bastard, you really don't know who your real daughter-in-law is. All you do is side with outsiders and protect outsiders all day long!"
Shen Ling hid in her room and cursed for a long time. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't put up with this.
She rummaged through drawers and cabinets, took out the secret stash of money Gu Yuchuan had hidden in the closet, stuffed it into her pocket, and swaggered out the door.
“I’m pregnant now. If I were in someone else’s home, they would definitely treat me like royalty.”
"She's blind as a bat. If she doesn't like me, fine, I'm not putting up with her anymore!"
Shen Ling thought fiercely that she must go to the fruit shop and buy the most expensive fruit to eat, to treat herself better.
She walked angrily with her head down, but unexpectedly, just after rounding an intersection, she saw Shen Zhi seeing Xie Lanshen off to the army.
The two of them, one beautiful and the other tall, looked incredibly well-matched standing together.
"Be careful on the road. We'll go out together again when you get back tonight."
Xie Lanshen curled his lips into a smile that was both helpless and indulgent.
"good."
Shen Ling didn't know they were talking about going for a run together; she thought they were going out for a secret rendezvous that night.
She and Gu Yuchuan were already a legally married couple, but she had never received such treatment before, which made her furious and curse the two scoundrels in her heart.
When Shen Zhihuan reached the entrance of the alley, she stopped and waved to Xie Lanshen.
Seeing that the two had finally separated, Shen Ling also turned to look at Xie Lanshen's back, a wave of regret welling up in her heart.
If she had known Xie Lanshen could be cured, she would never have tried to steal him from the wedding.
Shen Ling thought Xie Lanshen was seriously injured, just like in her previous life, and would soon kick the bucket.
Unexpectedly, even someone with Shen Zhihuan's rudimentary medical skills could cure him.
It seems his injury wasn't serious at all; it was just a minor injury.
It's just a pity that I made a mistake and failed to take advantage of my rebirth to save Xie Lanshen first.
Otherwise, the Xie family should be thanking her now.
Xie Lanshen is handsome and the youngest officer. Such a good man, it's really a good deal for Shen Zhihuan.
The more Shen Ling thought about it, the more she felt she had been cheated. When Shen Zhihuan came back and passed by her, she even jumped out and said a few sarcastic things.
"Hey, it's been a few days, and you're still as eager as ever."
"Commander Xie has already left, why don't you follow him? See how the army will kick you out later."
Whether the military will kick her out is uncertain, but Shen Ling's foul mouth is a certainty.
Shen Zhihuan was in a good mood and didn't bother arguing with Shen Ling.
She didn't say anything, but raised her hand and made a slapping motion at Shen Ling.
Even though she hadn't used much force, Shen Ling instantly recalled the feeling of being pinned down and beaten by her last time, and her face felt burning and stinging.
The difference in their fighting abilities was like night and day.
Fearing another beating, Shen Ling didn't dare say another word and slunk away.
Seeing her protecting her stomach as she walked, Shen Zhihuan smiled faintly.
"Stupid without realizing it, hopeless."
