"This isn't about whether she's pregnant or not?"
"Old hag, I'm telling you, this isn't over yet!"
Wang Xiu rushed out of the kitchen and went to find her husband, Lu Huaibei.
After all the commotion, Zhang Juan finally learned that Curcuma zedoaria not only had the effect of relieving indigestion and pain, but could also cause pregnant women to miscarry.
so.
Last night, when Lu Yuanzhou mentioned pastries, she came up with this idea.
She knew that eating too many hawthorns could cause miscarriage. That way, even if it was discovered, she wouldn't be blamed.
If anyone's to blame, it's that capitalist's daughter for being greedy.
Su Wantang sneered: "So, you admit it?"
Sudden.
A figure suddenly came into view.
A resounding slap landed on Zhang Juan's face.
"Are you stupid?!"
"Li Jia, it's not that the new bride doesn't know, but you've had three children, don't you know that you can't eat hawthorn during pregnancy?"
Upon seeing Lu Yuanzhou, Zhang Juan covered her face and said aggrievedly, "I didn't know she was pregnant."
Lu Yuanzhou was genuinely angry.
But if.
He should have known Li Jia was pregnant sooner...
That's the eldest grandson of the eldest son!
Lu Yuanzhou slapped him again: "You're telling me you don't know? Are you blind? Can't you see?"
Even though her mouth was bleeding and her face was burning with pain, Zhang Juan didn't dare to utter a sound.
How could she dare say that she was too busy being angry to even glance at Li Jia?
"What are you standing there for? Get back and make soup!"
Su Wantang frowned: "Uncle, Aunt can't leave. We haven't gotten the details yet."
A flash of displeasure crossed Lu Yuanzhou's eyes.
He spat and cursed, "You said your stomach was bloated last night. Didn't I tell you this morning to buy yourself a bag of hawthorn cake to help with digestion? Why are you being so greedy again? Does the family need your measly little treats?"
"Now look what's happened. When you were grinding the powder to make tea, you weren't paying attention and the powder got scraped into the hawthorn cake."
"That's the lifeblood of the Lu family!"
Getting angrier as he talked, Lu Yuanzhou grabbed Zhang Juan by the collar and slapped her twice more. He then used his body to cover his face and winked at her.
The next second, Zhang Juan choked up and said, "My stomach is bloated, and I can't bear to eat something as delicate as hawthorn cake. I bought some turmeric to grind into powder and prepared to make tea. However, when I was making the tea, I accidentally spilled some into the crushed hawthorn."
"But... I specifically told Li Jia, but she just wouldn't listen!"
"If you don't believe me, go ask me at my workplace! I'm not lying!"
"That's my eldest grandson. I cherish him so much, how could I possibly drug him to cause a miscarriage?"
"I...I really didn't mean to."
Curcuma zedoaria does indeed have the effect of relieving food stagnation and abdominal distension and pain.
Moreover, Zhang Juan spoke with absolute certainty, even suggesting that she wasn't afraid of them investigating.
It seemed as if they had truly wronged her.
But Su Wantang vaguely felt that wasn't the case.
She looked at Li Jia, her eyes questioning.
But Li Jia looked at her apologetically and looked away.
The strangeness in my heart is even greater.
"Huai'an, Wantang, this is a family matter. We will handle the rest ourselves. We won't keep you here."
"Tomorrow, I will personally take your aunt to apologize to your grandfather."
"No need, Uncle. Grandpa is too old to handle any shocks. He doesn't know about this."
Just as I expected.
Lu Yuanzhou breathed a sigh of relief: "I understand."
On my way home.
“Huai’an, I feel there’s something strange about this. Aunt’s reaction doesn’t seem like it was unintentional; it’s more like it was deliberate,” Su Wantang couldn’t help but voice her doubts.
In the ward, Lu Huai'an's presence was barely noticeable, yet he still managed to see many things that Su Wantang hadn't seen clearly before.
For example, the eldest sister-in-law's concerns, and the coincidence of the eldest brother-in-law's arrival.
"Tangtang, family matters are not official matters. Sometimes they cannot be investigated clearly, and they cannot withstand scrutiny."
Su Wantang knew this, but it concerned Li Jia.
"But since this happened to my eldest sister-in-law, I can't just ignore it."
Lu Huai'an sighed softly: "But my eldest sister-in-law has already chosen to give up being so aggressive, hasn't she?"
Su Wantang wanted to explain for Li Jia, but before leaving, Li Jia's evasive glance suddenly appeared in front of her, silencing all her excuses.
"Um."
Her voice was muffled, carrying a hint of irritation.
Lu Huai'an stopped, looked into Su Wantang's eyes, and said seriously.
"Tangtang, I know you feel sorry for your cousin's difficult pregnancy and blame yourself for not being able to save the baby, but none of this is your fault. You are amazing."
“We are just ordinary people with limited abilities. We can help for a while, but not forever. The outcome of this matter has never depended on us, but on the attitude of my cousin and his wife.”
"So don't punish yourself for other people's mistakes and hardships."
"It would break my heart!"
Su Wantang looked at Lu Huai'an, feeling an indescribable sense of emotion.
He understands her.
"Don't cry."
Lu Huai'an's rough fingertips gently wiped away the glistening tears that had welled up in the corners of his eyes.
It's itchy.
Something seemed to burst forth from the earth within my heart, and vibrant red hibiscus flowers swayed and danced with the thumping vibrations.
"Lu Huai'an".
"Hold me!"
Kiss me!
