Chapter 679 Hope

Yu Shuang's fingertips were facing each other. She did it in a rush. She also wanted to wear men's clothes like the fourth aunt. "I don't dare anymore."

Zhulan looked at Yushuang. This child had become bolder since her change. She seemed to have completely liberated herself and now even wore men's clothes on the street. This really surprised her.

After returning home, Zhulan asked Yushuang to change her clothes and come over. After waiting for a while, Zhao and Yushuang came over together.

Zhulan noticed at a glance that Yushuang's forehead was slightly red. It was not Xuehan's doing. Xuehan just tapped it lightly and looked at the angry Zhao. Zhao was angry and tapped it.

Zhao came in and said, "Mother, I have spoiled Yushuang. Don't be angry with the child. If you want to blame someone, blame me. It's all because I, as a mother, didn't teach Yushuang well."

She almost fainted when she saw Yu Shuang in men's clothes. When she knew that it was her mother-in-law who brought her back, her face turned even paler. She had been counting on her mother-in-law to find a good husband for Yu Shuang, but now this girl is wearing men's clothes and going out on the street. If people knew about this, how could she get a good marriage?

Zhulan listened to Zhao Shi talking about the responsibility on her shoulders. No matter what, Zhao Shi was indeed a good mother. "Today is the first time Yu Shuang wears it out, so don't worry too much."

After hearing what her mother said, Yu Shuang was indeed a little scared. She wore it out of impulse without considering whether it would affect her reputation. She was different from the fourth aunt. The fourth aunt was a county lord and had enough family background and capital, but she had nothing.

Yu Shuang said hurriedly, "Grandma, this is all my fault. I didn't think things through. It has nothing to do with mother. I was just too brave."

Zhulan shuddered when she heard Yushuang's tone. This was the key point. She knew she was wrong. "Yushuang, grandma knows you want to live more freely, but you must remember that you are first and foremost the granddaughter of the Zhou family. This cannot be changed. Although this dynasty is more tolerant of women, women are still weak. Grandma does not have the ability to settle all the problems for you. My child, grandma knows you are smart. If there is more, grandma does not need to say more, you understand it all."

Yu Shuang wanted to kneel down and admit her fault, but Zhu Lan asked Mrs. Song to hold her back. She really didn't like kneeling all the time. "Well, it's just a coincidence that I met Grandma today. I'll put all the clothes away in the future."

Zhulan thought, fortunately the girl is not very old, so nothing can be seen. If she really grows up and dresses as a man, it will be easy to see, because men's clothes are slim-fitting.

Zhulan signaled Yushuang to go back first, leaving Zhao behind.

Zhao was nervous, "Mom."

Zhulan motioned for Zhao to sit down. She really didn't lose her temper now, and she didn't want to scold her daughter-in-law like she used to. Her age was one reason, but she also knew in her heart that scolding her would only lead to this. If something happened, it would be better to have a good talk.

Zhulan said, "We are just chatting for a while, don't be nervous."

Zhao, ".......not nervous."

Zhulan continued, "I know you two are under a lot of pressure. You two have placed all your hopes on Mingrui. This is human nature. However, the children are still young. You two should be more moderate. Communicate with them more often and don't put too much pressure on them."

Why does Yu Shuang want to learn from Su Xuan? Isn't it because she wants to learn more skills, not only for herself, but also for the second wife. The pressure on the second wife has been passed on to their children.

Zhao was also very sad, "Mom, I wish I could still have children."

Zhulan looked at Zhao. This was the second wife's worry. If the worry was not resolved, Zhao and the second son would not be able to get out of it. "You also know that Imperial Doctor Liu is at home. So, mother will ask Imperial Doctor Liu to take a look at you. If he can recover, it will be a happy thing. If not, you can be more relaxed in the future."

Zhao was delighted, "Thank you, mother."

Zhulan felt bad when she saw Zhao's happy face. To be honest, it was her fault. She had never thought of asking Imperial Physician Liu to take a look. She had gone to several good clinics in Jinzhou and they all said that it would be difficult for her to get pregnant because of her injuries, so she just assumed that.

Zhulan looked at Zhao, and thought of Dong who was always muttering about her son, and Tao. In ancient times, sons were very important to women.

In the afternoon, Zhulan asked Imperial Physician Liu to examine Zhao's pulse. Zhao's eyes were full of hope as he eagerly waited for the result.

Doctor Liu carefully examined the patient's pulse twice, each time longer than the last. He stroked his beard and let go of her hand. "Madam, you have been taking the nourishing prescription. Bring it to me for a look."

Zhao asked the maid to take it and handed it to Doctor Liu. "Here is the prescription. Would you like to take a look?"

Doctor Liu read it carefully and said, "The prescription is good, but the dosage is a little less. I will change the prescription. Madam, continue to take it until your feet are no longer cold. Then ask me to change the prescription."

When Zhulan heard this, she asked, "Grandpa, do you think my second daughter-in-law can be brought back?"

Doctor Liu said, "It will take time to recover. It will take several years at least."

Zhulan knew that Doctor Liu would not say anything without certainty, and she was very convinced of Doctor Liu. "Thank you, old man."

Doctor Liu smiled and said, "However, I still want to say one thing. Even if you have recovered, children are fate. You must not take fertility prescriptions just to have children. Some of them are harmful. Don't take them to harm your body."

Zhulan understood that these were all based on the experience of the imperial physicians. Whether it was the officials or some ladies, many of them trusted folk remedies.

Zhulan waited for Imperial Physician Liu to change the prescription, thanked him again and sent him away. When she came back, she saw Zhao wiping her tears with a handkerchief. Zhulan was also very happy. No matter how many years it would take, as long as the child could be recovered, there was hope. The second house had hope, and Mingrui and the others would also be relieved.

Zhu Lan said, "Okay, stop crying. I haven't seen you cry in so many years. I really can't bear to see you cry."

Zhao also thought about how she used to cry easily. She was crying with joy, but suddenly she couldn't cry anymore. "Mother, thank you, your daughter-in-law."

Zhulan helped Zhao stand up from her kneeling position. "It was my fault. I didn't think about this even though there was such a great doctor at home."

Zhao shook her head, "Mom, if you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have thought about it. I still want to thank you for thinking about me."

This is true. Zhao often saw Imperial Physician Liu, but she never thought of asking him to see her. At that time, she had consulted several doctors in the clinic, but she had already determined that she could not have children anymore, let alone her mother-in-law. She was really grateful to her mother-in-law.

Zhulan comforted Zhao, "Now there is hope, you should take good care of yourself. Mingrui and the others, you and Lao Er should not put too much pressure on them."

Zhao touched her belly and said, "Mom, my daughter-in-law knows."

She is not too old now. After a few years of nursing, she will be old enough to have children. Her mother-in-law is almost 40 and can still have children, so she can do it too. She will tell her husband the surprise in person when he comes back.
