Chapter 357 Wang Family Affairs
Songlu called Manting and went to Wang's house together. Songlu went forward and knocked on the door. Soon an old woman wearing a half-worn brown narrow-sleeved shirt and a dark blue long skirt came to open the door.
It was Mrs. Zhou’s mother-in-law, Feng.
When Feng saw Song Lu, her face turned pale with shock: "It's you...why are you here?"
Except for Madam Zhou, no one in the Wang family had ever seen Cui Si, but Yanzhi and Songlu had. Every five days, Cui Si would arrange for one of them to visit Madam Zhou and bring her some food.
"Aunt Wang," Song Lu greeted, then explained her purpose. "My wife heard something happened to Madam Zhou, so she asked me to come and see her. By the way, how is Madam Zhou? Have you called a doctor to see her?"
Feng hesitated and said nothing.
"Doctor, what doctor? A doctor for that witch? It's free, right?" Before Feng could say anything, a dissatisfied voice was heard from the yard, full of disdain and displeasure.
Song Lu frowned: "Who is this?"
"Yes...it's my daughter. She came back home to stay for a few days a few days ago. Please come in and have a seat." Feng made way a little awkwardly and invited the two in.
Song Lu frowned: "Didn't your daughter run away?"
The Wang family does not have many members. At the top are the Feng couple, in the middle are Madam Zhou and Wang Dalang and his wife, and below are the two sons and the baby that Madam Zhou is pregnant with.
The only exception is the girl from the Wang family. Two years ago, when Northern Yan attacked Yunzhou, this girl left her mother's family and ran away with her fiancé. There has been no news of her since then.
Now he is back, and at this critical moment.
Although Song Lu didn't like to use her brain, she was not completely stupid as she could be a personal maid for a girl in a wealthy clan. She immediately became suspicious. After all, Madam Zhou's child was fine before, so how could the child be gone when this person came back?
"Who ran away? Who ran away?"
A woman wearing a half-worn pink and purple cross-collared wide-sleeved shirt and a green long skirt came out. She looked a bit like Feng, but she was very thin, with a high forehead, sunken eyes, and a sharp look.
It can be seen that she has not had a good life these days.
"Your family is looking for a wet nurse for the child, right? I'm pregnant now, and that witch lost her child. I don't have that blessing, so I'll take her place."
Song Lu: “?!”
Song Lu suspected that he had heard it wrong.
For example, when a family chooses a wet nurse for its children, most of them are chosen from the side branches or the children born in the family. They must be loyal and trustworthy. At worst, they are chosen from the people who came with the mother's dowry.
Because Cui Si was planning to give birth to a child in Yunzhou City, she did not dare to contact the Cui family. That's why she planned to choose two suitable ones in Yunzhou City. The requirements were that the family should be harmonious, the person should have a gentle personality, and they should have children before and have experience in raising children.
Such people have good personalities, can live a decent life, and don't have any bad intentions.
This is not a job that anyone can do.
Yan Nanxiang and others spent a month searching in the city before finally choosing these two.
Song Lu looked at Feng Shi, who looked embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, she shamelessly asked, "Yes, my lady, what do you think of my Xuniang? My daughter-in-law has lost her child and will not be able to raise her in the future..."
Wang Xuniang nodded repeatedly. "Yes, I don't ask for much. I only want... double, no, triple, of what you promised to give my sister-in-law. And food, too. Send some over quickly to nourish me. If I'm not well and can't feed the child in the future, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
Song Lu and others: “?!”
Could it be that they are too easy to talk to and too polite to them, so they are like suckers and can make demands at will?
Song Lu did not respond to this, but only said to Feng: "Please lead the way, I will take care of Madam Zhou for my wife."
Feng nodded awkwardly, then quickly led the person to the east wing of the yard.
Seeing that Song Lu ignored her and turned away, Wang Xuniang was a little angry. She put her hands on her hips and said, "Why are you so arrogant? She's just a maid. If I hadn't been happy with someone like her before, I would have beaten her to death."
Manting glanced at them coldly with a cold look.
Wang Xuniang was frightened by his look and was about to get angry, but then she remembered something, moved her lips, and fell silent.
Song Lu followed Feng into the bedroom in the east wing and heard Madam Zhou sobbing softly. It was so sad and pitiful that it made people feel uncomfortable.
Feng hesitated and didn't dare to step forward. Instead, Song Lu stepped forward and asked, "Madam Zhou, my wife asked me to come and see you. Please stop crying. Crying too much will hurt your eyes."
Madam Zhou was lying on the bed. She turned her head woodenly and saw the two of them. Her eyes were red and she looked very pitiful.
Feng couldn't bear to watch, so she said to Song Lu, "Please try to persuade her."
After saying this, she turned around and quickly walked out as if she was trying to avoid something. Madam Zhou bit her lip and looked at her back with a bit of resentment.
Song Lu went up to Madam Zhou and asked, "Have you called a doctor? My wife has asked someone to invite Doctor Lin from the Xinglin Clinic to see you. He should be here soon."
"You must take care of your health. You still have two children."
Madam Zhou shook her head and burst into tears, heartbroken, her voice hoarse: "My child, he is already five months old. In two months... in two months he will be able to live..."
The baby is five months old. In two months, it will be premature and may not be able to survive.
How can a mother not be sad and upset?
It's like cutting out one's heart and flesh.
Song Lu didn't know how to persuade him for a moment, so he just said, "If there's anything you need help with, just ask. My wife gave me instructions before I came."
Madam Zhou shook her head but said nothing.
Seeing that she really didn't want to talk, Song Lu stayed in the room for a while and then came out. After coming out, she asked about what happened.
Feng looked at Wang Xuniang with a guilty look, and Wang Xuniang turned her head away: "Mother, what are you looking at me for?"
Mrs. Feng said carefully, "She was feeling unwell a few days ago, so her family took her to see a doctor. He prescribed two doses of medication to help with pregnancy, but after taking it for two days, she suddenly started bleeding today. The baby is gone."
"That's right, it's all because she's unlucky and doesn't have the ability to keep the child. She's the one who killed our Wang family's descendants. This is a boy, and she..."
"Madam Wang!" Song Lu was angry and glared at her. "If you don't know how to speak, then shut up!"
It seemed that everyone in the Wang family was doing well. She had also heard about this Madam Wang. She was a little arrogant and spoiled at home, but she was not a bad person. How did she become like this now?
It's sad enough that she lost her child, but she keeps saying such hurtful words. It's simply too much.
