Madam Shen asked Nanny Wang to leave, leaving only her three daughters-in-law behind.
Then she said, "Xinyue, do Auntie a favor and pick up some medicine for me. I want to... abort this child!"
The three of them were stunned on the spot!
It shouldn't be!
Aren’t people in this era proud of having many children and good fortune?
When you have a child, you will try your best to give birth to it. But this old lady actually wants to give up? This is her second child, which she has rarely conceived in so many years.
"Auntie, are you sure? Taking this medicine is risky. What if..."
Zhang Xinyue hesitated and was about to agree, but Liu Wanyun grabbed her sleeve, stopping her from saying anything else.
It would be wrong to go to these three instead of Dr. Xie for this matter.
Mr. Shen definitely wanted this child. If the child was gone and they knew it was their fault, they would definitely be blamed. If something else happened because of the abortion drug, the three of them would be in even worse trouble.
Liu Wanyun looked at her inquiringly, "Aunt, why is this happening?"
Madam Shen said embarrassedly, "What's going on? You are young and don't have children, but I am old and have children. I don't know what those people outside will say about me when the time comes."
"What about Aung? What does he think?"
"Him! He's naturally extremely happy, and he wishes I would give him three more children!"
Cough! Cough! Cough!
All three daughters-in-law choked.
Following Liu Wanyun's suggestion, Zhang Xinyue replied, "Aunt, just give birth! I can't do such a thing as killing an animal~"
"But……"
In addition to worrying about what people might say, Mrs. Shen was actually also very worried about her own health.
"At my age, I'm afraid of the day I give birth... Rather than suffer so much pain later, it's better to bear the pain and give up early!"
Hearing her say this, Liu Wanyun knew that she was also very hesitant and just wanted to find someone to comfort her.
"Aunt, the fact that this child can come into my belly means you and her are destined to be together. It's a blessing from God. What if it's another son? What a pity if we lose it like this!"
"Son? If it's really a son, I don't want another one at all. I think it should be a girl. Besides, I also want a daughter..."
The fortune teller had said that she was destined to have only three sons in this life, so she felt that this baby would definitely be a daughter. It was for this reason that she was a little hesitant!
Liu Wanyun comforted her, "Aunt, if you're worried about others knowing about this, you can go live on the farm when the pregnancy is a little bit advanced, and come back when you're about to give birth..."
"There's no need to do this. Going to the countryside would only make everything inconvenient. I can just stay at home. But, what these people are saying... they will definitely laugh at me behind my back..."
"Maybe they envy you even more!"
After some persuasion, Mrs. Shen calmed down and decided to take good care of the baby.
But then she remembered something else.
"Also, my silk shop... your uncle is definitely trying to take it over again. I'd like Wanyun to help me manage it. Is that okay?"
Liu Wanyun hesitated. She had to manage the household and take care of the teahouse and the music school from time to time. She felt a bit busy...
But Mrs. Shen obviously misunderstood, "You don't have to pretend to be so nice. How about this? During this period of time, I will give you an extra 10% of the profit from the shop!"
"Deal!" Liu Wanyun responded happily.
If you don't take advantage of this, you're an idiot! Since she said so, there's no need to explain.
…
Good things happened in the mansion one after another, and it felt like time was passing by very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was only a few days away from Ruonan’s wedding.
During this period, she rarely left the house. She stayed in her room every day, embroidering this and that, preparing for her wedding.
When they first decided to get engaged, she was full of anticipation, but the closer they got, the more anxious she became.
Liu Wanyun couldn't stand it anymore, so she planned to hold a pre-wedding party for her.
He originally planned to invite those young ladies to his house, but considering that he had a pregnant old mother at home, he was afraid of disturbing her, so he chose to gather at the Jiangnan Teahouse.
At first, Aunt Zhao refused to allow Ruonan to go out, saying that she couldn't go out and see people before marriage. In the end, she couldn't resist Liu Wanyun's eloquence and various assurances, so she still went out wearing the weft hat.
That day, Jiangnan Teahouse did not receive anyone else but a few people they were familiar with.
Ms. Lu, Ms. Zheng, Ms. Zhou, Ms. Du, Liu Wanyun, Guan Xiaoyu, Zhang Xinyue, Zhaodi, Ruonan.
As soon as they stepped into the Jiangnan Teahouse, these people put down their burdens, spoke without lowering their voices, walked without caring about their skirts swaying, and sat no longer in a proper manner.
"Oh, I just love coming here. I can eat and drink whatever I want, reclining or crossing my legs, whatever's comfortable for me. Madam, is the place reserved for us today? Are there any special programs?"
As she spoke, Lu Zihan leaned back on the chair by the window. She used to be the most well-behaved among these young ladies. After all, she was the county magistrate's daughter and represented the face of the county magistrate's office. But when she came here, she seemed to have changed her mind.
Zhang Xinyue handed her a drink and smiled evilly, "I want to give you something special, but I'm afraid you can't accept it. I'm even more afraid that my store will be closed tomorrow!"
On the other side, Miss Zhou held Ruonan's hand and apologized to her repeatedly, "I was wrong before. I apologize to you for my brother's matter. I'm really touched that you still invited me here this time..."
Ruonan smiled and said, "Your brother is your brother, and you are you. Let's not talk about the past. We are here to have fun today. Let's not mention those irrelevant people. They will affect our sisterly relationship!"
