When Chi Yunzhi heard that Zhou was coming, she hurried to get out of bed, but was stopped by Zhou who came in.
"Just lie down, why get up?" Zhou looked at her with concern.
Hua Rong served tea to Zhou and then waited respectfully on the side.
"Mom, why are you here? I am really..." Chi Yunzhi turned her head away embarrassedly.
"You're still young, you can have more children." Zhou caressed her face lovingly. "Is the Marquis of Zhenyuan good to you? He's different from other men now. Mother is worried that you're no longer the only one in his heart."
Song Tingyue recovered his health, and Zhou was mixed with joy and worry.
The good news is that she may have grandchildren in the future, but the worry is that in this era it is normal for men to have three or four wives.
Zhou herself was a concubine of low status, but fortunately her daughter was the main wife. As long as she could hold Song Tingyue's heart firmly, no matter how many concubines were brought in in the future, she would always occupy a very important position in Song Tingyue's heart.
But even if she is the main wife, she will have to fight to the death with the concubines in the backyard in the future.
"Don't worry, mother. We'll give birth to a houseful of children for you to play with." Chi Yunzhi successfully made Zhou laugh. "That's the best way to do it. Has father come to the courtyard to look for you in the past few days?"
Chi Yunzhi blushed when she mentioned Zhou. She knew it from her expression even if Zhou didn't say it.
"Have you taken that pill?" Chi Yunzhi asked in a low voice.
"Yeah, I ate it. I feel warm all over." Zhou nodded.
The mother and daughter had just met a few days ago, but now they seemed to have endless things to talk about.
Li was so angry with Pei these days that she fell ill and is now recuperating.
After listening to Chi Yunzhi's advice, Chi Yichun no longer skips classes and is eager to learn, and his grades have improved significantly.
Only Chi Miaoyan's marriage has not been settled yet. Chi Yunzhi knows that Chi Bingwen, the scumbag father, is looking for a family that can support him and his eldest brother.
In the study room in the front yard, Chi Bingwen was discussing something with Song Tingyue. He first congratulated Song Tingyue on being detoxified and becoming a normal man, and then felt sad for Chi Yunzhi's miscarriage.
"My dear son-in-law, it was indeed wrong of our Chi family to marry off a concubine before. We should never have married a concubine's daughter here. Do you think there is any room for maneuver in this matter?" After Chi Bingwen said this, there was silence in the room for a moment.
Song Tingyue never thought that Chi Bingwen would talk about this matter.
From the moment he lifted the veil and knew that the person he was marrying was Chi Yunzhi, there was no possibility between him and Chi Miaoyan.
Now what Chi Bingwen said clearly meant that he wanted to exchange Chi Yunzhi and Chi Miaoyan back.
How is this possible?
Don't try to take all the good things for yourself.
Song Tingyue suppressed his smile. "My feelings for Yunzhi are clear to all. The wife of the Marquis of Zhenyuan can only be Yunzhi. Father-in-law, please don't say this, lest it damage the harmony between our two families."
When Chi Bingwen heard this, he looked up at him in surprise, but was unexpectedly shocked by the coldness in his eyes.
He had prepared a lot of words, but they just stayed in his stomach.
During the banquet, Qian couldn't help but mock Chi Bingwen because it was Chi Yunzhi who married him.
Chi Bingwen apologized with a smile and drank three cups as punishment.
Chi Bingwen and Zhou left after dinner.
Qian finally found out Chi Bingwen's plan and was so angry that she almost overturned the table.
"It was them who pushed Chi Yunzhi here without a word, and now they want to exchange her back. Do they think our Song family is a vegetable market where we can exchange people back and forth?" Qian was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe. The maids had no choice but to call the doctor again.
Fang Baolin was released from house arrest. She said something to Madam Liang and ran to the gate of Piaoxiangyuan and knelt down.
There were many servants passing by, and seeing her kneeling there, they couldn't help but feel some sympathy.
After Zhuyin knew this, she took a basin of water and poured it on the ground in front of her.
"You unlucky thing! Get away from me!" The young lady had finally gotten pregnant, but now the baby was gone. It was a blessing that Zhuyin didn't slap her twice.
Fang Baolin did not retreat and kept his back straight.
Zhuyin returned to the yard and slammed the door shut, shaking off a lot of dust on the door frame.
When Chi Yunzhi knew Fang Baolin was kneeling outside, she subconsciously frowned.
Is Fang Baolin forcing her to forgive him?
If this gets out and outsiders find out, how mean must she be as the eldest lady that she can't even tolerate a cousin?
The sky outside suddenly darkened, and soon there were lightning and thunder, and it seemed that it was going to rain.
"Cousin, please go back quickly. It's going to rain." Nanny Liang came over to persuade her.
"It's my fault for not going. I deserve it even if I die on my knees here!" Fang Baolin shook his head, forcing a smile through his pale face. Nanny Liang stopped trying to persuade him and returned to report.
Qian planned to send Fang Baolin back to the Fang family tomorrow. She didn't want to see her niece for even a moment.
It started raining heavily outside soon. Although Zhuyin was reluctant, she still went to give Fang Baolin an umbrella.
Unexpectedly, Fang Baolin did not accept her kindness. "Miss Zhuyin, it's all my fault. If I can eliminate the hatred in my sister-in-law's heart, my death will be worth it."
Zhu Yin told Chi Yunzhi the original words, and Chi Yunzhi almost felt sick.
This is really disgusting. Does she have to come forward?
She wanted to see what other tricks Fang Baolin had!
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Hua Rong put a cloak on her and put a hood on her, covering her up tightly before she felt relieved.
When the courtyard gate was opened, Chi Yunzhi saw Song Tingyue standing not far from Fang Baolin.
"Cousin! I was wrong. Can you talk to my sister-in-law and ask her to forgive me this time?" Fang Baolin said as he stepped forward to grab his clothes.
Song Tingyue took a step back, and Fang Baolin failed to grab the hem of his clothes, and immediately fell into the mud and water.
"Cousin, I..." Fang Baolin fainted before he could finish his words. His whole body was soaked by the rain, his hair was stuck to his face, and he looked in a miserable state.
Song Tingyue remained indifferent and called two maids to send Fang Baolin back to Qiu Shuiju.
Chi Yunzhi finally understood.
Fang Baolin wanted to use the self-torture trick and the beauty trap to lure Song Tingyue into the trap.
It was a pity that this man was straight enough not to want to touch her.
If Song Tingyue had shown some sympathy for her and personally carried her back to Qiu Shui Ju, her plan would have been successful.
You see, if a man loves you, even if a woman falls pitifully in front of him, he will not touch her with the hands that embrace you.
On the contrary, if a man doesn't love you, he will be interested in any woman on the street.
Chi Yunzhi smiled with satisfaction.
Fang Baolin was quickly carried over by two maids and gradually disappeared in the rain.
Only then did Song Tingyue notice Chi Yunzhi standing there, and his brows immediately frowned.
"The doctor said that you can't be exposed to the wind during the confinement period. Go back quickly." Song Tingyue drove the person back to the room.
