Chapter 378 Don't eat it, it's poisonous.
The emperor's expression changed slightly, and he turned to look at his wife.
The Empress felt helpless, but she still stepped forward and helped the trembling Wang Xiuer up.
Tangjia Village is actually Tang Bugui's hometown, so naturally they love him and his family.
However, Wang Xiuer's personality is a bit too carefree.
She glanced at Madam Qian, whose face also looked somewhat tense. Even the little dumpling was kneeling beside her, looking pitiful.
"You are pregnant, so there's no need for formalities. Madam Qian, Madam Sun, you may both rise!" the Empress said calmly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Empress!" the group responded in unison.
Qian and Sun Cuihua helped Wang Xiuer stand aside. This was the most frightening time of her life.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, I was wrong. If you must punish someone, punish me alone. My family doesn't know I'm not very bright. If all else fails, I'll have my husband divorce me right now!"
Wang Xiuer's calves were trembling, and her whole body was shaking slightly.
She was truly terrified, and she urged Bai Yinjun to beat up the emperor!
That's the emperor of the Great Shang Dynasty!
The emperor wasn't actually that angry, but upon hearing Wang Xiuer's words, he couldn't help but laugh, "So you know you're not very bright? If you think you're useless, I can have someone chop you up and replace you with someone else..."
"Your Majesty, please don't frighten them."
The Empress rubbed her temples, turned her head, and spoke in a somewhat unpleasant tone.
The emperor paused, looking at his wife and then at the people kneeling before him, and suddenly felt bored.
Bai Yinjun is more interesting. Go find him and play with him!
"I was just joking. Besides, am I the kind of person who holds grudges? Honey, can you please stop glaring at me in public? I have a sense of shame!" The emperor muttered shamelessly as he strolled away with his hands behind his back.
He looked no different from the other old men in the village at that moment...
The Empress rubbed her temples, truly baffled as to why she had ever fallen for the Emperor!
They were probably fooled by his face!
The Empress took a deep breath and then said, "Don't worry about the details. Actually, His Majesty is quite serious in his daily life..."
Little Su Bao looked at the Empress's slightly flushed cheeks and tilted her head slightly.
Looking into the innocent eyes of the little dumpling, the Empress coughed lightly, feeling unusually embarrassed.
She then immediately picked up the little baby and held her in her arms.
"Grandma..." Little Su Bao exclaimed in surprise, never expecting that Grandma would pick her up.
Little Su Bao dared not move. She carefully looked at her grandmother's belly, afraid of pressing on the pregnant belly.
"Grandma is alright, look at me, I'm perfectly fine!"
The Empress smiled slightly and reached out to stroke the little dumpling's not-so-thick blond hair.
Little Su Bao was still a little nervous and worried, and she gently placed her little hand on the Queen's belly.
In a sweet, childlike voice, tinged with concern, she asked, "Grandma, does it hurt?"
She saw that what was there was not a child, but something formed from resentment, karma, and malevolent energy.
That fetus had no life, only endless hatred.
The little dumpling pursed her lips, silently pleading with them not to harm the Queen.
"Grandma is a good person, she'll definitely be alright!" she whispered.
The Empress felt a pang of tenderness as she watched the little dumpling, who was both worried about her second sister-in-law and carefully tending to her own belly.
"Of course, Her Majesty the Empress is so beautiful and kind, she will surely live a long and peaceful life..."
Wang Xiuer immediately perked up and said to the Empress, which was also her sincere blessing to the Empress.
Ms. Qian rubbed her forehead and took a deep breath.
No, I can't get angry, I can't get angry, I can't get angry with this idiot.
"Your Majesty the Empress is long-lived, please do not hold a grudge against my daughter-in-law..." Madam Qian bowed to the Empress and said respectfully.
The Empress smiled as she looked at Madam Qian's worried face.
She sat down on the chair with her baby in her arms.
Little Su Bao didn't move, but carefully placed one of her little hands on the Empress's belly and gently hugged the Empress with the other hand.
The Empress looked at them and said, "Alright, sit down. Life is only a hundred years. Who can live a thousand or ten thousand years? That's just a lie."
The Empress took a sip of tea, a hint of a smile in her eyes.
She actually quite liked Wang Xiuer; he was a bit silly, but he was honest and straightforward.
When you encounter too many cunning people, you'll always prefer to see something simple and honest.
"Xiuer was quite familiar with Aunt Huang these past few days, how come she's acting so distant now!" The Empress said with a smile as she looked at Wang Xiuer.
This time, Wang Xiuer learned her lesson and looked at Madam Qian, who nodded slightly.
She then said to the Empress, "It's not about being distant. The main thing is that my big head originally belonged to me, but now it's not certain. What if His Majesty is unhappy and replaces my head? Then I won't be myself anymore!"
Qian's lips twitched. She turned to look at Wang Xiuer, who blinked innocently.
My mother made me tell the truth, what can she do?
The adult world is too hard to understand. My own man is so easy to bully, just like me, he doesn't have much of a brain...
"Grandma, Second Sister-in-law is a good person. Can you please ask Grandpa not to be angry and not to cut off Second Sister-in-law's head?" Little Su Bao looked at the Empress pitifully, biting her lip as usual, her eyes filled with tears.
The Empress felt sorry for her and was also soft-hearted; this little girl was truly a good one.
She cursed the emperor in her heart, but her face remained gentle.
She patted the little dumpling's hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, your royal grandfather isn't a tyrant. He won't kill people indiscriminately!"
Little Su Bao was taken aback. She looked at the Empress, then glanced at the Emperor in the distance.
The emperor is like a sharp blade that is about to go berserk, while the empress is like his scabbard.
Whether the Emperor was a tyrant or not, the little dumpling doesn't know.
But the little dumpling thought that if Grandma got into trouble, Grandpa would become very fierce, even fiercer than the big tiger!
Just thinking about it sent a chill down Xiao Su Bao's spine.
The Empress's heart tightened, and she quickly frowned as she looked at the little dumpling, asking worriedly, "Has it caught a cold?"
The little dumpling shook her head. Looking at her grandmother's tired appearance, she carefully took out a sachet from her bosom.
This is a peace charm that Qian Shi got for her. Ever since she started wearing it, she used to have trouble sleeping at night, but now she can sleep for a long time at night.
She was sure it was because of the amulet.
"Grandma, this is a peace charm that my mother got for me. It's very effective. I'm giving it to you so that you can also have peace, good fortune, and all the best!"
The little dumpling tilted its head back and mustered its courage to speak to the Empress.
Those eyes were clear and innocent, yet they were the purest of all.
She looked at the Empress expectantly, her little hands trembling slightly.
It was the first time Xiao Su Bao was giving away a good luck charm, so she was inevitably a little nervous. Besides, her grandmother was very important to her father.
Madam Qian paused. She had obtained the amulet through a prayer, but only because her baby, Xiao Su Bao, cried every night during that period. She had gone to the temple to get the amulet for the child's sake.
However, Mr. Qian always felt that this was just psychological comfort!
"Your Majesty, this is a small token of Xiao Su Bao's affection. Please accept it!" Madam Qian added from the side.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiuer immediately wanted to speak.
Then she thought better of it and kept quiet. If she can't talk, she'll just say less!
Let's not cause trouble!
The Empress did not show any disdain; in fact, a smile lingered in her eyes.
"Well, Your Majesty, thank you for our Su Bao!" The Empress accepted the sachet.
Whether it was her imagination or not, the moment she received it, she felt her palms warmer.
And the stomach pain that had been nauseating for a while is gone!
The Empress was taken aback, looking at the sachet in her hand, she hadn't expected it either.
Wang Xiuer was holding back her words for a while, and it looked like she was about to burst out. Finally, she said, "Your Majesty, the things that our Su Bao sent must be of the finest quality..."
After saying that, she immediately covered her mouth!
The Qian family...
Fine, let her be!
Luckily, the eldest son's wife is easy to take care of; otherwise, she would be driven crazy with headaches.
When it comes to finding wives for the third and fourth sons, we must find those who are easy to marry.
One Wang Xiuer is enough for the family; there absolutely cannot be another one!
The Empress was alright; she couldn't help but chuckle softly at Wang Xiuer's appearance.
"Yes, of course, anything sent by our little Su Bao is always of the highest quality!"
The Empress said something, then looked at Madam Qian, her eyes softening slightly.
"Mrs. Qian, you've all worked hard. Eat something and get some rest. Tomorrow, tell me about what's been happening since Xiao Su Bao came to the village, okay?"
The Empress learned about Qian Shi's story from Tang Datou and felt that she could be considered a heroine among women.
She is beautiful inside and out, and most importantly, as a woman, her behavior is no worse than that of any man.
Ms. Qian was slightly taken aback, but dared not refuse.
"yes!"
Little Su Bao didn't have time to look at her mother and Empress Dowager at the moment. She lowered her eyes to look at the Empress's belly and breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected, the amulet her mother gave her was the most effective. After the Empress Dowager put it on, the black aura instantly shrank into a ball and dared not cause any more trouble.
Little Su Bao looked at the Empress's slightly rosier cheeks and said in a soft, childlike voice, "Grandma, don't be afraid, my master is super powerful!"
"Haha, good, Grandma believes in our Su Bao and your master!" The Empress looked at the little dumpling coaxing her with a serious expression, her little face was really cute.
My own daughter was just as thoughtful when she was little, and then...
Later it went wild...
They're not as considerate as they were when I was a child.
"Alright, you too, you've been working so hard these past few days, you should go back and rest!" The Empress looked at Little Su Bao with concern.
The little dumpling had dark circles under its eyes, and it looked like it was really tired.
"Yes, thank you, Grandma. Grandma, you should rest early too!" The little dumpling nodded obediently and carefully got down from the Empress's arms.
At this moment, the emperor also returned, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.
Mrs. Qian took her daughter-in-law and Xiao Su Bao home.
Once they were far away, Madam Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned to look at Wang Xiuer.
The latter immediately took a step back, forgetting to put down the hand that was covering her mouth.
Madam Qian frowned, then pulled her hand down and said irritably, "Xiuer, I don't have any demands on you anymore. Can we talk less in the future?"
Seeing the resentful look in Qian's eyes, Wang Xiuer nodded decisively.
"Mom, I understand. From now on... I will definitely try my best to talk less!"
Wang Xiuer quickly spoke to Madam Qian.
When Qian heard her daughter-in-law's words, the corner of her mouth twitched. Why didn't she believe it?
But then he thought of something and stopped talking.
Wang Xiuer breathed a slight sigh of relief.
She glanced furtively at Qian Shi in front of her, then focused her gaze on Xiao Su Bao, who was staring intently at her belly and reaching out.
She pulled the little dumpling behind her by two steps, waiting until Qian and Sun Cuihua had gone a little further away.
Wang Xiuer whispered to Su Bao, "Daughter, have you been eating and sleeping well these past few days? Have you been bullied?"
"If you get bullied, tell your mother... cough cough, tell your second sister-in-law, and she'll help you beat him up!"
Wang Xiuer chuckled, then pulled out an oil paper package from her bosom.
"These are pancakes I made this morning, have a taste..." Wang Xiuer looked at Xiao Su Bao with a tender expression.
Little Su Bao was stunned. The little dumpling looked at the oil paper package and then at her second sister-in-law.
The little dumpling instinctively wanted to back away, but Wang Xiuer was holding her little hand, so she couldn't escape!
"Don't eat it, it's poisonous!" Just then, Xiao Mobao suddenly appeared and pulled Xiao Subao away from Wang Xiuer.
The reason why Xiao Mobao was so wary was because Xiao Mobao had come to play with Xiao Subao once before.
Who knew that there was no one else at home that day, only Wang Xiuer and her two children.
When it was time to eat and the Qian family hadn't returned yet, Wang Xiuer insisted on cooking!
Later, unaware of what was going on, Xiao Mobao ate the things Wang Xiuer had made.
Here's the important part!
Little Mo Bao got food poisoning from Wang Xiu'er's food. She had diarrhea for three days and vomited for two days, and almost didn't recover.
Seeing Xiao Mobao's wary look, Wang Xiuer opened her mouth, wanting to make a few excuses.
Unfortunately, Xiao Mo Bao was too wary. As soon as she saw me coming, she grabbed Xiao Su Bao and ran away.
"You little brat, today's Wang Xiuer is not yesterday's Wang Xiuer. Don't judge a book by its cover. As the old saying goes, even a corpse should be viewed with new respect after three days!"
Wang Xiuer stood with her hands on her hips and shouted from behind.
She was both angry and ashamed, but there was nothing she could do.
I tried countless times, using countless amounts of mud, and only when I felt I could do it did I finally attempt to make it once.
Qian, who was in front, stumbled, but fortunately Sun Cuihua helped her up.
“Cuihua, tell your mother, in the days since I left, has your second sister-in-law been in the kitchen…” Madam Qian grabbed her eldest daughter-in-law’s hand, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.
Sun Cuihua was taken aback and shook her head. She had been keeping a close eye on her second brother's wife these past few days, and every time she went in, she would kick her out. Logically, this shouldn't happen...
"No... I don't think so!" Sun Cuihua said somewhat uncertainly.
Just then, Qian seemed to smell a familiar scent.
She subconsciously looked up in the direction of her own house.
Thick smoke billowed out, it was quite ferocious!
Immediately afterwards, the corner of Qian's mouth twitched violently, and she was completely distraught.
Sun Cuihua's face also flushed red, and she called out to Wang Xiuer behind her, "Second son's wife, did you sneak into the kitchen again?"
Wang Xiuer turned around and ran away as fast as she could, not caring that she was pregnant.
"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense, I... went to find Sanbao, why hasn't he come back yet! Um... Mother, I'm not going back today..." After saying that, Wang Xiuer had already disappeared without a trace.
The Qian family...
"Wang Xiuer, you come back here right now, or I'll beat you to death!" Madam Qian yelled at Wang Xiuer, then turned and ran home.
The Empress and the Emperor smiled as they looked at the seemingly harmonious (but chaotic) family.
"This family has such a good relationship!" the emperor couldn't help but say enviously.
There's no real affection among the royal family; only he and the Empress are a good couple, and their sons and daughters are also quite good.
