When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Cui Niang carefully pulled Du Yaoyao's sleeve and said, "Yaoyao, you used to have a weak body, but the doctor said that it will not affect your fertility."
Du Yaoyao deliberately looked sad, "It's not possible now."
Cui Niang was surprised and asked, "How could that be? There are so many famous doctors in the capital."
Chen Jie's expression changed for a moment, and he comforted Cui Niang, "Don't worry, mother-in-law. Yaoyao was just too anxious and said that in anger. The matter of offspring also depends on the couple's fortune."
Cui Niang understood, patted Du Yaoyao's back soothingly, and whispered: "Don't worry, Yaoyao, mother will help you find a solution."
Du Yaoyao subconsciously looked towards Chen Jie, but he looked away.
It turned out to be a false alarm, and Du Qing called on Chen Jie to continue eating.
Aunt Liu stepped forward to fill Du Qing's glass with wine and suggested:
"The eldest girl is alone in the capital, and she doesn't have many relatives to take care of her. My sister-in-law has a lot of things to do in the mansion, and she may not be able to take care of it. Madam is not in good health, so why not ask Sese to go to the mansion to keep the eldest girl company? A real sister will always be more caring than those maids and old women outside."
After saying that, he looked at Du Sese.
Du Sese immediately said obediently: "If Sese goes to the capital, she will definitely take good care of her sister for her father, mother and little mother."
Aunt Liu was a concubine, so Du Sese had to call Cui Niang "mother" and her biological mother "little mother" in front of others.
Du Sese was fifteen years old, and it was time for her to get married, but Aunt Liu proposed to send her daughter to her brother-in-law's house in the capital. Du Qing guessed what she was planning.
Du Yaoyao was in poor health and had been infertile for several years after marriage. As Chen was in a high position and had great power, it was inevitable that he valued having children. If the eldest daughter can't give birth, the younger daughter can be a substitute... It's not impossible.
Although it was ridiculous for two sisters to share the same husband, Du Qing thought that the local governor was fawning on him, a merchant, so in order to ensure the longevity of this powerful marriage, it was no big deal to give up one more daughter.
Having made up his mind, he asked Du Yaoyao in a pretentious manner.
"Yaoyao, what do you think?"
The tone was inquiring, and the look on his face showed that he did not allow any arguments.
Cui Niang interrupted, stammering, "Sese is fifteen this year... It's not appropriate for her to live with Yaoyao and her husband..."
A young and beautiful sister of the wife and a young and energetic brother-in-law living in the same mansion would, to anyone who asked, seem a bit like they were in an incompatible situation.
Some things are better left to everyone knowing, there is no need to put them on the table. Du Qing was ashamed and annoyed by Cui Niang's bluntness, "My son-in-law is a noble person, but you think he is a shameless person who has no sense of propriety and righteousness!"
Cui Niang shrank back in fear.
Du Yaoyao sneered in her heart: I'm afraid you all hope that Shen Ji will lose the sense of propriety and become a shameless person who bullies and humiliates his wife and sister!
She stretched out her hand to block Cui Niang, smiling, "Father, don't be angry. I'm so happy that my sister can come." She looked at Chen Jie shyly like a young wife, "It's just that my husband always likes quietness, Yaoyao can't make the decision herself..."
This is asking him to speak.
Shen Jie continued, “I have enough maids in my house, thank you for your kindness.”
He actually compared Du Sese to a maid, and thanked her on the surface, but in fact he never even called her "father-in-law".
Du Qing's face suddenly turned ugly and he forced himself to smile.
Du Sese lowered her head so much that she almost buried it under the food table, and her neck turned red with embarrassment.
Aunt Liu didn't expect Chen Jie to be so ruthless and refuse so bluntly. He stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to stand or walk. He shamelessly found a step down and bowed to Chenjie.
"I am a young woman with limited knowledge and I worry too much."
Du Qing waved his hand, "What a bad luck! Get out of here!"
Du Sese followed Aunt Liu out of the door.
After three rounds of meals, Du Qing urged Du Yaoyao, "Yaoyao, your mother hasn't seen you for a few years. Go to your room and have a private chat with your mother. Your brother and I will have a few more drinks with you, my son-in-law."
Cui Niang stared at Du Yaoyao eagerly, and Du Yaoyao was led by Cui Niang to her bedroom.
Most of the furnishings in the room were new. A maid saw Du Yaoyao looking around and said, "These were specially replaced with new ones by Madam Liu because she heard that the eldest daughter would be coming back after the New Year."
"Er Ya!" Cui Niang scolded the maid and smiled kindly at Du Yaoyao, "What old or new? Mother doesn't care about those things. As long as Yaoyao can come back, it's good."
