Upon hearing this, Madam Chen was taken aback. "No way? Ah Zheng's wife is so sensible, it's impossible that she would do this just because..."
Old Lu interrupted her, "From your perspective, you're right, but from her point of view, A-Zheng's wife is also right."
Everyone knows that the problem lies with Chen Xiuer.
However, because of the help that Xiao Chenshi had given her when she was young, Chenshi was unlikely to do anything to Chen Xiuer, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were bound to be at an impasse.
"You mean, Ah Zheng's wife called Amber and the others away because of Xiu'er?" Chen looked at Old Man Lu in astonishment.
No, it was indeed Chen Xiuer's fault today, but she already disciplined the child! Why is A-Zheng's wife suddenly acting so unreasonable?
Old Lu could tell from her expression that she hadn't figured it out yet, so he shook his head and said, "Forget it, from now on, try to speak up for Chen Xiuer in front of A-Zheng's wife as little as possible, and try to keep them from meeting."
As an observer, he observed carefully that Chen Xiuer, though seemingly obedient and well-behaved, actually harbored scheming intentions and often glanced at A-Zheng's house next door, especially when A-Zheng was home.
"Is it that serious?" Chen frowned, a hint of resentment rising in her heart towards Jiang Qinyu.
Old Lu glanced at her and said, "Are you sure your sister didn't tell Xiu'er about what happened back then?"
Mrs. Chen was taken aback. "What is it?"
"What do you think?" Old Lu frowned as well. "If she finds out about that and tells the eldest and second eldest sons... you should think carefully about the consequences!"
After saying that, he went inside.
Chen stood frozen in place, finally realizing what Old Man Lu was worried about.
Did Chen Xiuer find out that she couldn't have children?
Did she tell Jiang Qinyu and the others about this? If she did, how would she face Azheng and Lu Yancai?
For a moment, Chen's attention was drawn to the backgrounds of Lu Yanzheng and Lu Yancai, and she couldn't think about Jiang Qinyu anymore.
Meanwhile, in Jiang Qinyu's house, just a wall away, Yunzhu was also quietly asking Jiang Qinyu, "Madam, are we no longer going back to the old lady's house?"
"Why would you think that?" Jiang Qinyu looked at her in surprise.
Yunzhu was slightly taken aback. "Then why did you..." have them all come here to eat and stay?
Jiang Qinyu chuckled and said, "After Chen Xiuer said those things to me, do you think I can't have a temper? Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you generals. After our new house is built, we'll still live with the old man and the others."
She did this to show her attitude. Since Chen Xiuer looked down on her as her cousin-in-law, she naturally wouldn't want to associate with her anymore, and her family didn't need to hang out with Chen Xiuer all the time.
As for Jiang Qinyu, she could understand Chen's predicament of being caught in the middle, but no one in this world has it easy; it's just a matter of personal choice.
Ms. Chen can choose to continue protecting Chen Xiuer, or she can choose to distance herself from Chen Xiuer.
As for those who were associated with Chen Xiuer, she naturally distanced herself from them as well.
However, since Chen had treated the original owner's three nieces and aunts very well in the past, she wouldn't go too far.
"Our family is going to build a new house?" Yunzhu was taken aback at first, then clapped her hands with great joy and said, "I knew the General wouldn't wrong his wife!"
Jiang Qinyu looked at her small courtyard and raised an eyebrow slightly.
To be honest, she didn't feel wronged. She quite liked her current home; it felt like living in a modern small apartment.
Thinking about this, Jiang Qinyu finally remembered what was missing from the drawing she had made that afternoon.
"I'll go back to my room first. You can rest after you've helped Shufan and Pan'er wash up." Jiang Qinyu said this and ran back to her room, lifting her skirt.
Yunzhu was about to ask how they were going to sleep that night when Jiang Qinyu had already closed the door.
"Madam, is there something urgent? You left in such a hurry," Yunzhu muttered softly.
"What's wrong?" Qin Shen came in from outside and overheard her muttering, so he asked.
Yunzhu looked up at him, her cheeks slightly flushed, but since it was night, Qin Shen couldn't see her from his angle. "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask how we're going to sleep tonight..."
"Hey, I thought it was something serious, but it's simple." Qin Shencai gestured with his chin toward the storage room. "Aping and I will sleep in that room, and you and Amber can sleep there with the young master and young lady."
“How can that be?” Yunzhu shook her head immediately upon hearing this. “That room doesn’t even have a bed, and it’s drafty from all sides. It’s impossible for anyone to sleep in the dead of winter.”
Qin Shen laughed heartily, "What's the big deal? A-Ping and I are both martial artists, we're not afraid of the cold."
It's just a little loss of internal energy, right? We can just practice again.
“But…” Yunzhu wanted to say something more, but Qin Shen interrupted her.
"Alright, you go and wash up for the young master and young lady. Ah Ping and I can handle it ourselves." Qin Shen waved his hand dismissively.
Although Yunzhu felt it was inappropriate, she couldn't think of a solution and could only leave hesitantly.
As soon as she left, A-Ping stood behind Qin Shen, one hand on his shoulder, her tone tinged with resentment, "Although I don't object to sleeping in the storage room, you should at least have two blankets..."
Qin Shen's gaze was still fixed on the direction Yun Zhu had left. Hearing this, he stiffened and said awkwardly, "Well, shall we find another opportunity to ask Madam for it later?"
"Then you go ask for it, I'm not going." Aping let go, the resentment on his face disappeared, and he went straight to the courtyard wall to pick up the honeycomb briquette stove and walked towards the storage room. "In terms of tone, I'd rather rely on you than rely on myself to keep warm tonight."
Qin Shen awkwardly touched his nose. He didn't know what was wrong with him. When he saw Yun Zhu, he wanted to show off his abilities. Before he knew it, he had become so proud that he forgot the most important thing.
Fortunately, Jiang Qinyu did not forget her two unfortunate brothers in the end. She gave Yunzhu a thick mattress and quilt, as well as a comfortable latex pillow, and asked Yunzhu to help Qin Shen and A Ping make a makeshift bed on the floor in the storage room.
As for the drafty gaps in the storage room, that's easy to fix; just set up a tent inside.
The bedding was set up inside the tent, and Qin Shen and A Ping lay inside, still finding it incredible.
"Hey Ping, did you use this kind of tent with Madam before?" Qin Shen asked, pointing to the tent above his head.
Aping shook his head, "I've never used it, and I've never had the chance to use it."
But he had seen better tents than this.
Qin Shen was still a little curious and excited because he had missed seeing the military supplies tent provided by the system because he had always avoided Lu Yanzheng.
Aping gave him a look as if he were a simpleton, then covered himself with the blanket and lay down.
Deputy General Qin is really stupid. Hasn't he noticed how comfortable the blankets and pillows the lady gave him are? Why don't you enjoy them while you can? You might not be able to enjoy them tomorrow morning.
Sure enough, the next morning, Jiang Qinyu's panicked voice woke up Qin Shen and A Ping.
