Chapter 222 Ah Zhi, are you still thinking about Liu Niang?
"Hello, old lady. I heard that she and Liu Niang returned from Pingzhou City a few days ago. I came here specially to visit her today. Is she feeling well?"
Old Madam Xu sat upright, her expression calm. "If you youngsters don't make trouble and stir up more trouble, my health will naturally improve. Please sit down and talk."
Mrs. Song used to be such an arrogant person that she was not afraid to even meet Old Madam Xu. Now it was rare for her to lower her face to say something nice. She only got this bland remark, which seemed to have a hidden meaning, and her face was slightly stiff.
"Old lady, do you think highly of our Song family?" This attitude was neither enthusiastic nor indifferent. Before Mrs. Song could say anything, Song Zhixian became dissatisfied.
"You think too much." Old Mrs. Xu looked at the young man who was suppressing his anger, as if he had been bullied, and shook her head.
This kid is still too young and too conceited. He is really far behind Yan Xingchuan and Jiang Cinian.
When Mrs. Xu thought about it this way, she felt much better.
Fortunately, Song Rou was married to Mr. Cui Er, and the childhood marriage between Cui Si and Song Zhi was settled. Otherwise, if Cui Si had really married him, her life would probably have been even more troublesome.
"If the Cui family dislikes someone, they will directly ask them to leave. I, an old lady, don't have time to meet them in person."
After hearing this, Song Zhi's expression eased slightly, he nodded, then bowed and apologized, "It's my fault for being rude, please don't blame me, old lady."
"It's just a misunderstanding. Please sit down." Mrs. Xu asked someone to serve tea, and then asked them, "Are you here today to visit the Song family?"
Mrs. Song nodded: "That's right, her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the due date is almost here. I'm worried."
Mrs. Xu nodded. "It would be good if you could come and keep her company more often, so she wouldn't have so many wild thoughts all day long. But if you're here to keep her company, just stay with her and let her take care of the baby peacefully. Don't keep saying this and that all day long, making her suspicious all day long."
"Old lady, I——"
Old Madam Xu raised her hand, discouraging her from quibbling. "She's been making quite a fuss during her pregnancy, but for the sake of the child, I won't bother with you. Now that she's almost due for labor, you should stop bothering her with all that and let her give birth peacefully."
"Mrs. Song, you have also given birth to a child, so you should know how difficult it is to give birth. Let her take care of herself peacefully for the next few days, and then give birth to the child peacefully when the time comes."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Song's pupils shrank slightly and her expression turned a little ugly.
Mrs. Xu's words reminded her that Song Rou's pregnancy was not stable. If she urged Song Rou to use her pregnancy to fight for profit, she might not be able to get anything out of it. But if something happened to Song Rou...
Song Rou is fine. Their Song family is related to the second branch of the Cui family. If Song Rou makes a mistake, who will give their Song family face in the future?
Mrs. Xu saw her expression change and knew that she had figured it out, so she asked her, "The Song family and the child are the most important now, right?"
Mrs. Song nodded awkwardly: "You are right. Don't worry, I will persuade Ah Rou and let her give birth to the baby with peace of mind."
"Thank you, Madam Song. Let's go meet the Song family."
After saying this, Mrs. Xu nodded, then took a sip of tea.
Serve tea to see the guests off.
After explaining what happened, he asked her to leave without any courtesy, without giving her any face at all.
Mrs. Song's face stiffened slightly, but she didn't dare to quarrel with Old Madam Xu. She took a sip of tea angrily, then left with Song Zhi and asked a maid to lead the way to see Song Rou.
When they arrived at the courtyard where Song Rou lived, Mrs. Song couldn't help but frown: "Now that the Cui family has become more powerful, they really don't take people seriously anymore."
"Arou, if you were more motivated, how could she dare to look at me like that?"
If Song Rou was the housekeeper of the second branch of the Cui family, how could Old Madam Xu dare to give her a cold look?
Mrs. Song's face was twisted when she said this, and she no longer remembered the warning from Old Lady Xu.
"You must give birth to another son this time. When the son is born, you can take the housekeeper's power over to him."
Song Rou touched her belly and said with some worry: "But mother, I...I don't know how to manage the household."
She didn't learn it before she got married, and after she got married, her mind was full of love and romance. She didn't know how to manage household affairs, nor did she care, so many years passed and she still didn't know how to do it.
Old Lady Xu looked down on her and had no intention of teaching her. She had been managing the business herself all these years, or asking Cui Si for help. She would only wait until Cui Jing got married, and then hand over the housekeeping duties to Cui Jing's wife.
Madam Song said, "Bring it here first. If you don't know how to do it, then I won't know how to do it either. I'll come here often and arrange some people for you. You won't be able to manage the house."
Mrs. Song rolled her eyes and said, "Arou, when the child is born, you will take charge of the family."
The old lady was wary of Song Rou, and Song Rou was not very capable. If she asked her normally, she would probably not get the answer and would be scolded. It was at that time that there might be a chance.
Song Rou nodded repeatedly: "Mother, I will listen to you."
Song Zhi felt that something was wrong: "Mother, is this not a good thing?"
"What's wrong with that? Your elder sister is the head of the Cui family's second branch. It's only natural for her to be in charge of the family. Why, are you still thinking about Liu Niang and Cui..."
Having said this, Mrs. Song suddenly paused and stared at Song Zhi.
Song Zhi was confused by her gaze: "Mother, why are you staring at me?"
"Azhi, are you still thinking about Liu Niang?"
Song Zhi paused after hearing this, and suddenly his whole body became low and said, "Why is mother saying this?"
What does it matter if she thinks of him, what does it matter if she doesn't think of him? She had never treated him well before, and she still hasn't changed now.
Song Zhi suddenly thought of Yan Xingchuan. Thinking of the day when Yan Xingchuan stood outside the Cui family's door, he suddenly felt a sense of sympathy.
Madam Song asked, "What do you think about marrying her?"
Song Zhi was stunned: "Mother, what are you saying? You want me to marry her, but...but isn't she going to be the queen?"
Even though Song Zhi had a high opinion of himself and was very bold, and even dared to ridicule Yan Xingchuan, he was still a little afraid if he were asked to snatch someone from Yan Xingchuan. Those Yanyun Guards would behead him with one sword.
"Empress? When will she be the Empress? Who knows how many years it will take for him to ascend to the throne. And by then, whether he will marry her or not is another matter."
When Cui Si was getting ready to get married, the Cui family prepared a generous dowry for her. Even the dowry that was displayed openly weighed a full 128 loads, including farms, shops, and everything else.
Many more were sent to Yayuan, including countless gold, silver and jewelry.
Because of this matter, Mrs. Song instigated Song Rou to make a scene.
When Mrs. Song thought of the dowry, her heart was burning with joy. If the Song family could get these, wouldn’t their lives be better?
"Azhi, if you want to get married, mother will help you plan it."
