Mrs. Shen came and found out that the two of them had not gotten up yet. This time she was not angry, but instead called Si Xi to question him.
"How is the eldest young lady's health lately?"
Si Xi didn't know what the lady meant for a moment, so he answered cautiously, "Very good."
"Didn't you say you felt uncomfortable waking up early? What made you feel uncomfortable? Are there any symptoms?"
This... is just an excuse. She doesn't feel comfortable at all. I guess the young lady just doesn't want to get up early and wants to spend more time with her son-in-law.
But you can't say this truthfully!
She suddenly remembered that the young lady should be having her period soon, and she would feel lazy and have stomach discomfort, so she said, "I feel a little lazy and don't want to move. I want to sleep..."
Madam Shen, however, thought of something else and a smile appeared on her face. "The eldest young lady's period hasn't come this month, right?"
"not yet."
Si Xi calculated silently in his heart that it should only take two or three days.
"Is your appetite also poor?"
Mrs. Shen recalled that she had not eaten much when she saw Wanyun the day before yesterday.
"right."
Si Xi thought, it's summer time and it's so hot that I don't want to eat, so I just have a poor appetite.
In this question and answer, both of them had their own thoughts.
Mrs. Shen had already imagined a happy event in her mind, "How long have these symptoms been going on?"
"Just these two days."
"Well, after a while, I'll start vomiting when I wake up early..."
Vomit?
What does this lady mean? Is she hoping her daughter gets sick?
No! Seeing the smile on her face, as if she was expecting something, Si Xi's mind was spinning wildly, and he suddenly remembered what the kitchen maid had said before, about pregnancy.
Does Madam think that her daughter is pregnant?
"Madam, you may have misunderstood me. The eldest young lady's wife just has a poor appetite because of the hot weather..."
Mrs. Shen didn't take it seriously. This little girl didn't understand as well as someone like her who had been through it.
"You're young and don't understand these things! So, go tell Steward Lin and have him send someone to invite Doctor Xie over!"
So, when Liu Wanyun got up, she met her aunt and Doctor Xie in her yard.
Although she was puzzled, she still let Dr. Xie take her pulse.
As a result, Doctor Xie said that the eldest young lady's qi and blood were stagnant. She must have eaten a lot of cold foods recently, which damaged her spleen and stomach. That's why she felt sleepy and had a poor appetite. She needed to take some warming and nourishing soups to dispel the cold and dampness, which would help her get pregnant.
Mrs. Shen's face suddenly stopped smiling.
She had heard that Liu Wanyun was unwell that morning and had even stopped taking care of the household duties, which she found rather strange. Ever since she had handed over the reins to Liu Wanyun, she had been diligent and dedicated, never once sleeping in. The sudden mention of being unwell, and considering how long they had been married, she naturally assumed it must be good news.
Who knew that it was all for nothing.
He originally didn't mind her sleeping in, but now he felt that he disliked everything about her.
As soon as Doctor Xie left, Madam Shen said with some displeasure, "What's wrong with you? You've been married for so long, and there's no sign of pregnancy?"
At this point, Liu Wanyun already knew why Auntie had come this time. She said with a bit of amusement, "Auntie, I didn't say I was pregnant. You misunderstood!"
"Besides, why is there no movement in my stomach? You should ask your son!"
Madam Shen glared at her and said, "Nonsense, Doctor Xie has already said that it is difficult for you to get pregnant because of your cold body. During this period, you should take good medicine and regulate your body so that you can get pregnant as soon as possible."
Whether you are willing to have children is one thing, and being able to have children is another, but you cannot blame women entirely for not being able to have children.
Without a second thought, Liu Wanyun replied, "Aunt, whether the land is good or bad, crops will grow as long as you sow seeds. But if there are no seeds or the seeds are not good, then no crops will grow regardless of the quality of the land! So, the root of this problem lies with your son!"
Is this something a young woman could say?
Mrs. Shen, who had experienced this, blushed and spoke incoherently, "You...you...what are you saying? It's simply unbearable to hear!"
Liu Wanyun curled her lips into a wicked smile and added, "Anyway, everyone in Puning City knows that the Shen family's young master has a health condition that will affect his offspring!"
“You! You—”
Madam Shen was very angry and pointed at her for a long time, but she finally held back and didn't say any curse words.
Although she had no direct evidence to support the rumor, she felt it was the three sisters-in-law who were responsible. She was truly convinced that they had spread rumors about their future husband's health in order to marry into the Shen family. But now that these three were her daughters-in-law, there was no point in saying anything more.
She could only swallow her anger and said, "Humph! You know exactly what's going on!"
After failing to please the East Garden, Madam Shen went to the South Garden and the North Garden and gave the two daughters-in-law a lecture, asking them to take care of their health as soon as possible and continue the Shen family line as soon as possible.
As for Guan Xiaoyu, she didn't talk much and wasn't good at arguing with others, so she just let her ramble on for a few more sentences. Later, when she couldn't stand it anymore, she said indifferently, "Auntie, do you still want me to take you to exercise?"
Ever since Guan Xiaoyu took them to do exercises and yoga every day, Mrs. Shen felt that her physical fitness had changed, especially the recovery exercise, which she felt seemed to be really useful. Now the master would stay in her room from time to time, and the relationship between the two was very harmonious.
As the saying goes, one should be soft-hearted when receiving favors, and Madam Shen's muttering momentum weakened a lot, and she left after a while.
