[Chapter 256 Chapter 256 Letter from Mother-in-Law]
Mrs. Shen has been very busy during this period.
She would get up early every morning and spend two hours copying scriptures and praying.
The rest of the time was spent buying things for Shen Yuyao and the baby in her belly.
Old Madam Shen has three sons and one daughter. Now the eldest daughter has three children, and the second daughter has given birth to her eldest son.
The youngest third son got married at the beginning of this year, and now the couple has moved to the imperial farm.
That guy is really determined and he won't give up until he produces a good breed.
It's annoying when the kids are home.
But now that we all have our own families, the days become long if we don’t spend time together.
Therefore, Shen Yuyao's pregnancy has become the most worrying thing for Old Lady Shen.
Yesterday, the old lady had someone find the best cotton cloth in the house, personally selected a batch and sent it to the needlework room, asking the best embroiderer in the house to start making clothes for her daughter and unborn granddaughter.
Today, she dug out the various recipes she had accumulated over the years and selected the ones that were suitable for her daughter's current use.
The old lady was so busy that she didn't even care when her master would come back.
Prime Minister Shen came back early today.
When he got home, he went to the study first.
After finishing all the things that needed to be dealt with, Prime Minister Shen realized that it was already dark outside and it was already past the usual dinner time.
If it were a weekday, when his wife knew he had returned, she would definitely send someone to invite him back to the backyard to have dinner together.
But today, apparently no one came at all.
Could it be that Madam doesn’t know that I’m back?
Or was there something that delayed it?
Prime Minister Shen did not hesitate, closed the book and went back.
Seeing him coming, the maid in the yard immediately went into the house to report.
Prime Minister Shen then walked into the house.
As a result, before he even stepped over the threshold, he heard his wife impatiently say: "Who followed the master today? Don't you know to go to the kitchen to call for food? Can't you see I'm busy!"
Prime Minister Shen paused.
——Is he disliked by his wife?
This feeling was still new to Prime Minister Shen, so he was not angry.
Instead, he took a few quick steps and went straight into the inner room.
When Prime Minister Shen entered, he was almost dazzled, and then he sneezed several times because of the medicinal fragrance in the room.
When I recovered, I saw my wife covering the medicine box with her hand and a look of slight disgust.
Prime Minister Shen subconsciously touched his nose and explained, “The smell in this room is too strong.”
Then he pointed to the boxes of expensive medicines with their lids opened and asked, "What are you doing with these?"
The old lady then said, "I am choosing the right supplements for A-Yao. You know she is pregnant now, so she must pay special attention to her health."
Prime Minister Shen glanced at the boxes that filled the table, looking at the old mountain ginseng that was thicker than two fingers, the top-quality blood swallows, the ganoderma lucidum, and donkey-hide gelatin...
It’s a bit hard to put into words.
He asked: "Are you going to send all these to A-Yao? Will she do it if you send them to her?"
These words instantly made the old lady, who was originally full of joy, lose her joy on her face.
She shook her head: "I just picked it out first, then slowly stewed it for her later. How can I expect her to make it herself?
You know that part of her body, if any smell gets out, it could cause trouble."
When Wang Yueling wrote a letter of denunciation to the organization, one of the items in it mentioned that the smell of meat could be smelled from Shen Yuyao's house every day.
Although this incident did not cause any major trouble, Shen Yuyao has become more vigilant since then.
Both of them became cautious in improving their lives.
Then she wrote a letter home and specifically mentioned a few things. She didn't explain it too clearly, just saying that next time she sent meals, she should try to use less food with strong flavors.
But who are Prime Minister Shen and his wife?
No matter how lightly their daughter spoke, they could still sense the meaning behind her words.
In connection with their daughter's previous requests, they knew more about the situation on her side.
Thinking of the harsh environment at her daughter's place, the old lady suddenly lost the desire to choose again.
She closed the box of snow frogs beside her, then sighed and said gloomily, "I'm not worried about the supplements. As long as we pay attention, nothing should happen.
What I am worried about now is that our A-Yao doesn’t even have a person to take care of her. What will she do when she goes back to her confinement period?”
When she said this, the old lady's eyes suddenly turned red.
Since her darling daughter was born, she has been accompanied by two wet nurses, two old women, and eight maids.
This is even when her daughter lives with her.
Such a pampered girl who grew up in such a pampered way now not only has to work as a handyman in the shop every day, not only can she not eat good food or use good things, she can't even have a servant to serve her!
When the old lady thought about her daughter not only having to take care of the child after giving birth, but also having to do all the rough housework at home, she felt like her heart was broken!
She clutched her clothes tightly around her chest with her hands, unable to speak out her heartache.
Prime Minister Shen didn't expect that his words would cause his wife to have such a big reaction, and he immediately regretted it.
But he didn't know how to persuade her.
To be honest, when he thought about his daughter's current life, he felt no better than his wife.
He also felt that his daughter was really suffering!
Prime Minister Shen became irritable for a rare time.
He did not call the servants, but fetched the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and pushed them in front of his wife, saying, "Madam, please write a letter to your son-in-law, asking him to take good care of A Yao."
Mrs. Shen raised her head, her expression was startled at first, and then became hesitant.
"I write to my son-in-law? Isn't that bad?"
Prime Minister Shen was indeed a little emotional when he took the paper and pen just now, but now his thoughts have become clear.
He immediately said, "What's wrong with that? Our A-Yao is with him, so isn't it his job to take good care of A-Yao? You write it. As a mother, there is nothing wrong with you writing this letter."
It is not easy for Prime Minister Shen to write this kind of letter involving the rear house.
But if it is written by my wife, then there is no problem.
It is natural for a mother to love her daughter.
Moreover, Prime Minister Shen also wanted to give Cheng Liyan a warning at this time.
Although he had always had a good impression of this son-in-law, when his daughter was pregnant and there was no one to take care of her, Prime Minister Shen still felt that he had to keep a tight rein on him.
Otherwise, his family and his daughter would be thousands of miles apart, even separated by time and space.
If something happens to the daughter and this person doesn't care, the whole family will be very worried and won't be able to help.
After experiencing the pain of losing his daughter, Prime Minister Shen was unwilling to allow this possibility to exist again!
——So after Cheng Liyan returned victoriously, he didn't even have time to hug his wife when he entered the house, before he received a letter from his mother-in-law written to him from another time and space.
