Chapter 127 The First Lady's Infertility
On the second day, Shen Wangshu went to the eldest house, and Chen Hao followed him to pay his respects. Seeing the uncle and sister-in-law appear at the door together, the eldest lady raised her eyebrows in surprise. She didn't expect that the relationship between these two people had become so close.
"Oh, what wind brought our brother Hao here? I haven't seen you for a long time. Your aunt thought you went to the battlefield with your eldest brother. You are rarely seen here on weekdays." The eldest lady pinched Chen Hao's nose and said angrily.
This child almost grew up by her side, from that small size to the little man he is now. She feels so sorry for him no matter how she looks at him. When the second wife came into the family and "returned" the child to her, she was reluctant to let go for a long time.
The first lady would occasionally send people to inquire about the situation in the second house, and found out that the eldest son, Chen Ting, was still as uncaring about the affairs of the rear house as before, and that the new Xiahou family member did not look like someone who could take care of children... She was really worried at the beginning.
Later, she learned that although the second wife did not always bring the child to her side to raise him like she did, she would call him over for dinner every now and then, and any good things would never be left in Hao'er's yard. Although they were not very close to her, she did not treat him badly, so she felt much more relieved.
Now that the two of them appeared together, the little guy looked at his sister-in-law with eyes full of respect and admiration - although he didn't know what happened, it was always good for them to get along well.
Now it seems that the second wife not only has good medical skills, but also takes good care of Hao Ge'er, which makes people feel at ease.
Ever since Shen Wangshu started to go out for free medical consultations, and later on to the epidemic, and then to introduce Senior Brother Zhang Dai to cure many minor illnesses, the eldest lady looked at her with satisfaction, and now there was even more genuine love: "Nian Nian is here too, can you have breakfast?"
Shen Wangshu followed all the formalities and said politely, "Good morning, Auntie. Brother Hao and I have just had breakfast and are here."
"It was you who brought this brat here, wasn't it? If I didn't call him normally, he would never think of coming to play with me." Although the eldest lady was still blaming this heartless boy, she had already ordered the servants to change his coat that was stained with cold wind when he came, and put on a warm raccoon sleeve, and also stuffed an exquisite small hand warmer for Shen Wangshu.
The eldest lady had a cold body, so she took measures to keep warm early in winter. The child had a hot body, and he kept complaining about being hot after entering the house, but he was obedient and wore his aunt's clothes without taking them off.
Knowing that her sister-in-law and brother were here, Chen Zhi also came over from Feiyu Pavilion. As soon as she entered the house, she took off her clothes and complained, "It just snowed, and you put four charcoal basins in your house. When it snows heavily, you should fill the house with charcoal basins. No wonder my father is always worried about being poisoned by you and rarely comes here in winter."
The eldest lady said with a "tsk". "Your father can come or not. If he doesn't come, he can sleep in the study. It's as if I'm begging him to come to my room."
Chen Zhi stuck out her tongue, and turned to Chen Wangshu respectfully and honestly: "Sister-in-law, how are you? Are you here to play with me today? The plum blossoms in my yard are about to bloom. When will you come to enjoy them?"
Ever since the two of them had admired the Ice Beauty together in the summer, the relationship between the two sisters-in-law had made rapid progress. Sometimes when Chen Zhi went out to play, she would come to Xuanji Courtyard and call Shen Wangshu.
"Your sister-in-law came to see me today, and all she did was play." After the eldest lady finished talking about her daughter, she also expressed her doubts: "I don't see you three kids interacting with each other on weekdays, and I don't even know when you played together."
Chen Zhi glanced at Chen Hao, who was peeling roasted chestnuts and eating them, and blurted out, "Maybe it's because the eldest sister-in-law went to support Hao Ge'er yesterday. The eldest sister-in-law's position in his heart should be higher than that of the eldest brother now."
Chen Hao raised his head and blinked his eyes: "Big brother has the highest status in my heart."
After saying that, he turned around and saw Shen Wangshu, not forgetting to hold the water: “But sister-in-law is also important…not in the same important way.”
"Sister-in-law is really amazing," the child said, intentionally or unintentionally, "It was sister-in-law who discovered that Sister Zhi was cheated before."
"......"
The two of them exposed each other's past innocently. Shen Wangshu tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth that were raised. As expected, he heard the eldest lady's roar: "What?!"
"Why did Nian Nian support Hao Ge'er yesterday? Was Hao Ge'er bullied? Or was he wronged?" The eldest lady's eyes were sharp: "And you, how come you were deceived? Why didn't anyone tell me these things?"
The brother and sister looked at each other and asked in unison: "How do you know about me?"
Both of them told Shen Wangshu privately that they would keep it a secret from their parents, but when they got in front of others, they started to poke each other's troubles, and everything was exposed at once, which was really speechless.
Chen Zhi's brain worked faster than Chen Hao's. After thinking carefully, she realized that since Pei Xuan could tell her about the children's class, the children's class must have its own channels to find out about her.
“I’m asking you a question!” The eldest lady roared, and the two of them were frightened and looked at Shen Wangshu for help.
The latter walked up to the eldest lady and said, "Aunt, you must stay calm when you take care of your body. Don't get angry, otherwise it will affect the function of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. A bad mood will cause spasmodic contraction of the fallopian tubes, affect hormone secretion, and inhibit ovulation..."
The eldest lady did not understand the professional terms of modern medicine, but it was not the first time she had heard it in these days, so she roughly understood what it meant - the second wife was telling her not to be angry, irritable, worried and anxious.
"Such a big thing happened, but these two little bastards kept it secret from me. How can I not be angry?!" The eldest lady took several deep breaths, wishing she could pull them over and beat them up one by one.
Shen Wangshu persuaded her softly, “Since the matter has been resolved, it is not a big deal. Azhi and Haoge’er chose not to tell you in order not to make you angry and worried.”
"You are so angry now, isn't that contrary to their initial good intentions?"
After a few words of persuasion, the eldest lady's anger subsided a lot, but she was still very angry. She snorted and said, "I'll let you go for now. You must explain everything to me later."
Shen Wangshu winked at the two little ones, and Chen Hao immediately pestered them: "Aunt, Hao Ge'er knows he was wrong, please don't be angry, or you'll get sick from being angry and I'll be heartbroken!"
Chen Zhi also coughed lightly: "Mom, it was all an accident... How could your daughter let others bully her? Besides, my sister-in-law is here to help me, it's okay."
They were both her beloved ones, and the eldest lady was reluctant to get angry. In the end, she had no choice but to let the two of them go away and stop hanging around in front of her and annoying her.
