"Tell me, why did you bring her back? Aren't you just trying to make me unhappy? Send her away immediately and don't let her stay at our house tonight."
Madam Shen did not hide her inner disdain and gave direct orders, her expression as if Liu Wanyun was not her daughter-in-law but her confidant.
Liu Wanyun also cooperated with this "major shareholder" and smiled apologetically, "I'll listen to Auntie. Send her away, of course, but we won't let her go until tomorrow..."
Then, she whispered to Mrs. Shen about what she had seen on the farm.
So, during dinner, Madam Shen mocked Madam Shen Er without hesitation. After all, she had been the one to mock her before, saying that Shen Changfu was not as good as Shen Changgui, and that he had married two concubines. Now, at his age, he was actually obsessed with a widow.
Madam Shen Er had a very unpleasant meal, and her eyes seemed to expose both Madam Shen and Liu Wanyun.
This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not to be trifled with! She leaves!
After dinner, she went back to her house angrily.
Mrs. Shen was quite happy to win back a game, and even praised her three daughters-in-law for it. But she forgot that women should not be messed with casually.
Within a few days, many people in Puning City knew that the wife of the Shen family was pregnant at such an old age!
For this reason, many ladies she knew came to visit Mrs. Shen, wanting to know if it was true and also wanting to learn some advice on how to get pregnant again!
Mrs. Shen was thin-skinned, so she would inevitably blame Liu Wanyun and the other two for this matter.
Zhang Xinyue retorted, "Aunt, your deeds will be known to others sooner or later. Why are you blaming us? You can only blame yourself for not controlling yourself! You didn't take proper protective measures!"
These words choked Madam Shen so much that her face flushed red. She had no choice but to pretend to be angry, "Don't you know how to be ashamed when you speak?"
"This is the truth. If you don't want to have another one after Auntie, we have something good that will guarantee you won't be tricked again!"
Zhang Xinyue is outspoken. She just wanted to share something good, but she didn't realize that she had revealed the secret of the three people.
Liu Wanyun next to them was thinking about something else and didn't listen to them carefully. When she reacted and wanted to stop them, the words had already been said... and Guan Xiaoyu was a slow talker to begin with.
"What's the good thing? Not easy to get pregnant?"
Madam Shen looked at the three of them suspiciously.
"So, you haven't gotten pregnant yet because of this or something?"
Zhang Xinyue knew that she was in trouble. She looked at Liu Wanyun in panic and asked her to find a solution quickly.
"Aunt, you're pregnant now, so don't get angry easily. Just listen to me first..."
Liu Wanyun quickly smiled and handed over the orange she had prepared for herself.
"Didn't the three of us catch a cold after falling into the water and become ill? The doctor said at the time that our health wasn't good and we needed to take good care of ourselves so we could have a better chance of conceiving. Otherwise, even if we were lucky enough to get pregnant, it would be hard to keep it!"
Seeing that Madam Shen was still skeptical, she continued, "Last time, didn't Doctor Xie also take my pulse and say that I had a cold body and needed to be conditioned? Since then, I have been taking herbal remedies to regulate my body. I believe we will be able to get pregnant soon."
"Children are also matters of fate, there is no rush!"
Mrs. Shen reluctantly believed it, but she still couldn't help but mutter a few words, "I know you all have your own opinions, but having children is a matter of sooner or later, and it's better to have children sooner rather than later!"
"Okay, Auntie, I'll do as you say. I just have one favor to ask of you. If anyone asks you about your pregnancy again, remember to mention that you took the medicine Xinyue prescribed for you."
Mrs. Shen hesitated for a moment, but soon understood what she meant.
After coming out of Madam Shen's yard, Liu Wanyun went to instruct Aunt Zhao again, asking her to tell the people who came to the mansion intentionally or unintentionally that the Third Young Master's wife's family was from the Zhang's Medical Clinic in the north of the city.
Aunt Zhao was smart and quickly understood what she meant. In this way, the reputation of Zhang's clinic would rise, and more people would come to see the doctor and ask for medicine. Her daughter's life in the Zhang family would definitely be better!
But Zhang Xinyue was slow to react. She asked Liu Wanyun in confusion, "What does this have to do with me? Isn't it because of exercising with Guan Xiaoyu that your health has improved?"
Guan Xiaoyu knocked her on the head, "Stupid! You don't even understand this? You're using this good case to raise your family's status!"
Hehe~
Zhang Xinyue smiled foolishly, "Sister Yun is really smart!"
The three of them were laughing and joking as they were about to go to Jingxinzhai to play mahjong, but were intercepted by Zhaodi halfway.
"Sisters-in-law, you are in a good mood. You have been here for a few days and you haven't asked about the store."
"Ah, it's Zhaodi. Oh, you've been working so hard lately!"
Liu Wanyun pulled her over with a smile and placed her between her and Guan Xiaoyu.
"I'm back to take care of things at the mansion. Your third sister-in-law has also checked on the teahouse and said you're doing a good job. Your second sister-in-law has also asked someone about the music academy and everything is normal!"
Zhaodi: "Why are those people from the music academy still coming to me to report something?"
Liu Wanyun patted her hands. "Look, I'm planning to let you and my second sister-in-law manage the music school together. You're idle at home anyway, and aren't you the one providing the embroidery patterns for the music school? It's perfect, so you can take charge of the affairs there as well. I'll give you a bigger share of the profits later!"
Previously, Liu Wanyun had considered marrying Zhaodi off soon, but after a trip to the farm, she changed her mind. Now, if the three of them got pregnant soon, there would be no one to help them manage the shop. Since Zhaodi was still undecided, she decided to teach her a lesson to help them.
It’s a good opportunity to test the Xie family!
Let’s see if Madam Xie and Xie Bufan are sincere or not!
"Then I'd like to thank my sisters-in-law for helping Zhaodi get rich together!"
Zhaodi actually wanted to participate more, to earn more money for herself and her mother. Although the monthly allowance from the mansion was enough for expenses, who would complain about too much? Besides, if she got married in the future, it would be a way to save up some dowry for herself.
As they were talking, they had already arrived at Jingxinzhai and each found a seat to sit down.
Liu Wanyun said as she played mahjong, "Since you're willing, it's just right. I've had an idea lately. I plan to open a learning class for the women in the music academy."
Zhaodi: "What should I learn? Who should I find to teach me?"
Liu Wanyun: "You, me, Xiaoyu, and Du Ruoxuan, I wonder if she's willing to come!"
The three looked at her in confusion, waiting for her to continue.
"That's right. I've observed that most of the women who come to the music school are illiterate and don't understand much. They come simply to earn money for their families. We need to improve their own qualities, which will also improve the level of our music school."
"We teach them calligraphy and exercise, so that they know how to live for themselves rather than becoming tools to make money."
Zhaodi nodded, quite agreeing. "Sister-in-law, what you said is indeed necessary. There is something I haven't told you yet, which is the day after you go to the manor—"
