Jiang Yaojie almost laughed in anger at this ridiculous reason. He said coldly, "Like you? Don't dream about it. Who do you think you are to be worthy of my affection? The reason I took it was because you were too strong and almost ruined the vegetables. Also, you disgust me!"
With that, Jiang Yaojie turned and left angrily. Er Ya wanted to linger, but Jiang Hai pulled her back.
"Sister-in-law Erleng, I'm planning to tie her up and lock her in the woodshed. You should call her parents over. You can't handle this!" Jiang Ling said, glancing at Zhao Erleng's wife, who was completely dumbfounded.
Zhao Erleng's wife felt extremely ashamed after Jiang Ling's words. She nodded helplessly and said, "I'm sorry, Yaojie's mother, I... I'll go and find his parents right away!"
As she spoke, Zhao Erleng's wife glared fiercely at Er Ya, then covered her face and disappeared through the door.
Er Ya continued to chatter on, and Jiang Ling shouted, "Gag this brat! Tie her up and throw her into the woodshed! Keep an eye on her! Once she's gone, you're all fired!" This was the first time Jiang Ling had ever lost her temper with her servants.
When the four Jiang brothers saw Jiang Ling's appearance, they all trembled. Carrying Er Ya, they said, "Don't worry, Anren, if she gets lost, the four of us will come to you with our heads!" With that, they disappeared from Jiang Ling's sight.
They were afraid that Jiang Ling would take her anger out on them because of this.
Jiang Ling turned to Jiang Yaojie and comforted him, "Don't worry, your wife is a lucky person and won't get hurt!"
"Mother...I...I really didn't know she would like me! I..." Jiang Yaojie was flustered and gesticulated wildly as he tried to explain to Jiang Ling, as this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
Jiang Ling patted Jiang Yaojie's shoulder and continued to comfort him, "Yaojie, this isn't your fault. That girl had ulterior motives. Don't feel guilty. This has nothing to do with you! Go take care of your wife first!"
Jiang Yaojie exclaimed "Oh!" and hurriedly walked towards his bedroom.
Jiang Ling's gaze fell on Granny Zhu, who was standing to the side. She walked over, took out a fifty-tael silver note from her bosom, and placed it in Granny Zhu's hand, saying, "Granny, I really have to thank you for this. If you hadn't reminded me, I might not have even known that something bad had happened!"
Granny Zhu refused the silver note. "You're too kind, Madam. I was only assigned to serve you in your daily life, so I've naturally been mindful of these matters. I dare not accept this silver note!"
Jiang Ling didn't say much to Granny Zhu. She shoved the silver note into Granny Zhu's arms, as if to say, "You have to take it whether you want to or not." Granny Zhu was a smart woman, and seeing Jiang Ling's attitude, she didn't refuse.
After thanking Granny Zhu for Shen Congxin's safety, Jiang Ling walked alone towards Jiang Yaojie and his wife's room.
"Grandma Mei, how is my daughter-in-law Congxin?" Looking at Congxin lying on the bed with a pained expression, Jiang Ling felt like killing Er Ya.
Granny Mei hurriedly bowed and replied, "Don't worry, Madam, Miss Chen's pregnancy is not in any serious condition!"
Jiang Ling frowned and pressed, "What do you mean by 'not a major problem yet'? Are you saying there are some minor issues?"
"Mother..." Shen Congxin lay on the bed with a pale face and weakly looked at Jiang Ling, calling out with all her might.
"Oh, my darling, lie down right now and don't move at all. Just stay in bed and be a good girl. If you want to eat anything or if you feel unwell anywhere, just tell Yaojie or me! Don't try to be brave, okay!"
Jiang Ling looked at Jiang Yaojie and said, "Yaojie, starting today, you must put down all your work and stay by your wife's side all day long, without leaving her side for a moment!"
Jiang Yaojie nodded, but before he could speak, Shen Congxin, who was lying on the bed beside him, said, "Mother... there's no need for this. Husband can go about his business if he wants to. I'm fine..."
Jiang Ling feigned annoyance, "It's not a big deal yet! Such a terrible thing happened, my heart almost jumped out of my chest! No, no, you're the most precious person in our family now, Yaojie, don't listen to your wife, from today until you give birth, you must stay by her side every step of the way!"
"Yes, Mother!" Jiang Yaojie replied again.
After explaining all this, Jiang Ling looked at Granny Mei and asked again, "Granny Mei, you said before that there was nothing seriously wrong, but is there some minor problem?"
"Replying to An'er, this is Miss Shen's first pregnancy. She may have been overthinking, which has led to an imbalance in her spleen and stomach, resulting in a slight deficiency of both qi and blood!" Granny Mei replied.
"This? This isn't a big problem? Pregnancy itself depletes a woman's energy and blood. Won't this cause premature birth later?" Jiang Ling asked, frowning.
Grandma Mei was somewhat surprised; she had to admire how knowledgeable the woman in front of her was.
She nodded and said, "The current deficiency isn't serious. I'll prescribe some tonics to gradually nourish your body and it should recover, but..."
At this point, Granny Mei glanced at Shen Congxin on the bed and pointed to the door.
Jiang Ling nodded and walked towards the door with Granny Mei.
"But what?" Jiang Ling asked hurriedly as soon as she stepped out of the room.
"This medicine can nourish the body, but it can't nourish the heart. Miss Chen, the main reason is that worry has damaged your spleen. This is something that no medicine I can prescribe can make up for!" Granny Mei glanced at the direction of the bedroom with a hint of worry.
Jiang Ling nodded without saying anything more, and Granny Mei tactfully left.
Jiang Ling returned to the bedroom and, seeing that Chen Congxin's face was still pale, said, "Yaojie, go out for a bit!"
"Mother, why?" This was the first time Jiang Yaojie had questioned Jiang Ling. At this moment, Jiang Ling was somewhat surprised, but more than that, she was overjoyed. At least the child in front of her had completely grown up and would no longer blindly follow her orders.
Jiang Ling smiled and patted Jiang Yaojie on the shoulder, "Don't be nervous, Mother just wants to chat with Congxin, don't worry!"
“Yes, husband, you should go out first. Mother must have her reasons for doing this!” Shen Congxin, lying on the bed, echoed.
Jiang Yaojie stood there thinking for a while, but finally stubbornly shook his head. "Mother, you just told me to stay by your side at all times, so why are you sending me away now!"
Jiang Ling glanced at Jiang Yaojie with a meaningful look, and couldn't help but sigh that the little boy from before seemed to have completely grown into a man. Jiang Ling smiled and nodded, "Alright, in that case, you can stay!"
Jiang Yaojie breathed a sigh of relief, but Shen Congxin, lying on the bed, felt somewhat uneasy.
"Congxin, don't be nervous. Grandma Mei just said that you're worrying and your spleen is getting worse. I just want to ask you, have we been neglecting you because we've all been busy with work lately?" Although Jiang Ling has never been pregnant or given birth, she has watched many documentaries like this in modern times. It's normal for pregnant women to have fluctuating hormone levels, be irritable, and overthink things.
Shen Congxin was somewhat surprised to hear this. She shook her head and said, "Mother, no... I don't feel like you've neglected me because you're busy with work."
"I...I just...I just..." As she said this, Shen Congxin suddenly bit her lip and her eyes gradually reddened.
Jiang Ling's heart skipped a beat when she saw this, and she quickly comforted him, "Cong Xin! My darling, please, please don't cry!"
