Chapter 340 Sour Li
Over a cup of tea, Madam Qu told Madam Tao about the farce that happened in the Sun family last night.
Upon learning that the unfaithful man had received his retribution, Madam Tao wanted to applaud for joy, but she was also filled with worry.
"If the child is not his biological child, will he come to me, Azhi?"
Upon hearing this, Lady Qu's face changed slightly, and she finally remembered this: "It's not impossible. So what are you thinking? If you want to go back, wait for him to come looking for you and the child, then you can let him divorce that woman and take you and the child back."
"Go back?" Madam Tao was stunned.
Madam Qu continued, "Yes, in today's world, if you raise the child alone, life will be difficult. If you go back, with the wealth of the Sun family, you and the child will have no worries about food and clothing."
"You don't have to worry about anything else. Just make sure you and your children live well."
Cui Si frowned slightly and picked up a green plum beside her and started chewing it.
This truth is very realistic and cruel. This is a chaotic time. The imperial army is coming, and the Northern Yan army is coming again. For the people in the city, it is already very good to be able to survive, have enough food and clothing, and have their children grow up safely.
As for love, whether you are willing or not, whether you hate or not, these are all things that you can abandon with your eyes closed before you can survive.
Live, live well, this is the most important thing.
Madam Qu continued, "If you don't want to go back, you'll probably have to take the child with you and leave Piaomiao City to live in another city. Otherwise, the Sun family will definitely take the child back."
The plums were crisp and slightly sweet. Cui Si found them delicious and took another one. Upon hearing this, she nodded, thinking it made sense.
Madam Tao shook her head. "I was born and raised in Piaomiao City. My parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law are also here. How could I bear to leave? Even if I did, how could a weak woman like me, with no one to rely on and a child, survive out there?"
Lady Qu asked Cui Si, "What suggestions does Lady Yan have?"
Cui Si shook her head: "I don't know, I don't understand these things."
Her own life is a mess, so she won't interfere in other people's lives. Moreover, her ideas may not be the same as everyone else's, and may not be applicable.
To be honest, it was because she lived too well and had a good family that she dared to be so willful and decided not to get married. If she couldn't make a living and her family had a hard time surviving in this world, she would pack up and marry Yan Xingchuan the next day.
In troubled times, survival is the most important thing.
Madam Tao cried out "Ouch!" and quickly shouted, "Madam Yan, why did you eat this fruit? Spit it out now."
Cui Si still had a small bite of the fruit in her mouth. She was stunned when she heard this: "What's wrong? Can't I eat it?"
"That's not the case." Madam Tao shook her head vigorously. Seeing that her expression didn't change, her face wrinkled. "It's just very sore. Madam Yan, don't you feel it's sore?"
acid?
Cui Si frowned and chewed it twice. She didn't feel it was sour, but sweet, crisp and delicious.
She was stunned for a moment when she thought of something, and her heart started pounding.
She remembered that she was not such a careless person. She would not just take other people's food when visiting someone. The plums were green and looked delicious. She was a little greedy and subconsciously took one to eat.
Moreover, she didn't like eating fish in the past two days. She felt that the taste was a bit strange and not as good as before. She thought she had eaten too much and was tired of it.
Could it really be...
Cui Si suppressed the many thoughts in her mind, shook her head and said, "I have liked eating this kind of sour fruit since I was a child. I don't think it's sour, it's quite delicious."
She made an excuse for herself.
"So that's how it is." Madam Tao suddenly understood, and then said, "Since you like to eat them, I have quite a few left. You can take them all back. These are from my mother's yard. The fruits are sour and I can't sell them, but I can't bear to throw them away, so I share them and eat them."
"I've been eating this since I was a child, and I don't want to eat it anymore. Just leave a few."
It was just a few fruits, not a big deal, so Cui Si didn't refuse: "Thank you very much, Madam Tao."
"Don't be polite. I've been able to live peacefully these past two years thanks to the care of my mother's family and all of you sisters. It's just a few fruits."
There are many kind-hearted people in the world. They knew her misfortune. Although some people laughed at her, there were also many who sympathized with her. The potted plants and fresh flowers she had were very good, so when they needed help, they would think of her and take care of her business.
Cui Si ate another plum, picked out a pot of calamus and a pot of daffodils in the store, then claimed that she had something to do, took the potted plants and plums and left first.
When she got on the carriage, she reminded him again: "Go slowly, I feel a little dizzy."
"Yes." The driver agreed and indeed slowed down the carriage.
Cui Si sat on the mat, feeling happy but also a little at a loss.
If she gets pregnant at this time, it must mean that her child has come to her again. They still have the fate of mother and son in this life. Then she will raise him again in this life, watch him grow up and start a family, and she will have no regrets in this life.
But...how should she tell Yan Xingchuan about this?
He hadn't come to his senses yet at this time. Once he came to his senses and calculated the days, it was not difficult to guess that she came to him for the child. He didn't know what to do when the time came.
Cui Si felt a little guilty and a little scared.
For the time being...I can't let him know.
Yanzhi noticed that her forehead was sweating a little, so she took a handkerchief and wiped it for her: "What's wrong, my lady? Are you feeling unwell?"
Cui Si came back to her senses, bit her lip, and then said, "Let's see which restaurant or teahouse is closest. We can go there to rest for a while. Then you can ask someone to find a doctor and tell him that I'm not feeling well."
Yanzhi left the carriage and asked the guards, then came back and said, "The nearest one is Fengxue Tower."
"Then let's go to Fengxue Tower and take a rest there."
After deciding on a place, the carriage turned and went to Fengxue Tower, where they booked a private room to rest temporarily. A guard went to call for a doctor, and soon the doctor was brought over.
Cui Si asked the guards to retreat outside the door and guard it, leaving only Yanzhi Songlu on guard, and then let the doctor take her pulse.
Cui Si said, "I used to love eating fish, but these past two days, it's tasted strange to me. The fruit that used to be so sour that it would make your teeth drop now tastes sweet and delicious. I have some vague guesses, but I'm not sure. Please, doctor, take a look at it for me."
This situation does seem like the woman is pregnant.
But without taking the pulse, the doctor was not sure. He stroked his graying beard and nodded: "Please, lady, extend your hand so that I can take a closer look."
