Chapter 47 Quarrel

"Madam, I am thinking, should I find a good doctor to come to your house and prescribe some medicine to help you stay pregnant?"

After seeing Chen Zhi off, Xinyue helped Xu Shuhe wash and dress, and asked in a low voice.

Xu Shuhe, who was gargling, suddenly choked and started coughing repeatedly.

"Young Madam, please be careful!" Xinyue patted her back to calm her down, "Why are you choking again?"

"How can you not choke by talking about these things so early in the morning?" Xu Shuhe patted his chest and said helplessly.

Xinyue supported her and said, "I am concerned about you. It is not wrong to have a child earlier."

Hearing this connection, Xu Shuhe wanted to correct her, but then she thought about people's current thinking and thought it would be better for her to say less, so she just nodded perfunctorily.

"Okay, okay, I know you mean well, but I'm still young and strong, so I don't need to take the pregnancy-preserving medicine. All medicines are poisonous, so it's better not to take it unless it's necessary."

"That's right." Xinyue nodded and didn't persuade her any further.

Xu Shuhe didn't plan to go to the store today, so he left everything to Chen Zhi alone.

On her side, she was preparing to pack some things and go to Zhou's family in Beijing in a while.

The elders over there are talking, so the younger ones have to respond in time, otherwise it would be very impolite.

Especially since Chen Zhi had been deceived by Feng before and had not been in contact for many years.

To take a step back, the Zhou family has a big business, so maybe we can learn from them if we go there.

Even if you just take a stroll around the capital, it can be an eye-opener.

If you want to grow, you can't always stay in the same place.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for lunch.

Meixiang went to the kitchen and came back with brisk steps, looking excited about eating melon.

Sure enough, he started laughing as soon as he entered the door.

"Over at Ju Rui Tang, the Second Young Master and his wife had a quarrel and smashed everything in the house. The Second Young Master's wife even cried and said she wanted to take her daughter back to her parents' home!"

"Why did a fuss break out of nowhere? I haven't heard anything happened in the past few days." Xu Shuhe was puzzled.

At this time, Xinyue said, "The young lady came back drunk last night. Didn't you see the second young master's appearance? He was drunk and reeked of alcohol. He was also hanging out with all kinds of people and said he was going to a brothel. I'm afraid he didn't come back home last night!"

As she spoke, the disgust in Xinyue's tone was almost overflowing.

As a victim who was almost harassed yesterday, Meixiang also had the same disgusted expression at this moment.

"In the family, the third and fourth young masters are both clean, but the second young master is such a bad person. No wonder the second young master's wife is angry."

Then he told her about what happened last night when he met Chen Jin and that damn thing, the eldest son of the Yan family, at the gate of Jinzun Tower.

After hearing the story, Xu Shuhe also showed disgust.

But after thinking for a while, he added, "The second son's foolish nature has been going on for a long time. Second sister-in-law is smart. If he just stayed out all night, it wouldn't cause such a big fuss. There must be other reasons. Meixiang, go check it out."

"Yes." Meixiang nodded and quickly retreated.

Sure enough, after lunch, Meixiang found out some secret news and brought it back.

It turned out that Li Mingzhu was upset with Feng in Wanshuangzhai this morning. After returning, she found out that Chen Jin's maid Qianwen was pregnant. These two things together were annoying enough. It would have been fine if Chen Jin had not returned home last night, but when he came back at noon today, there was still a red mark on his neck left by some vixen last night.

With these three upsetting things added together, Li Mingzhu couldn't help but explode.

Meixiang said, "The Second Young Master has only one daughter, Yan Jie'er, and although there are other people in the room, none of them have high status. Now that Miss Qianwen is pregnant, I'm afraid she will have to be promoted to a regular concubine. The Second Young Master's wife usually looks amiable and easy to talk to, but in fact she is not a tolerant person." Xu Shuhe silently expressed in his heart that he wanted to correct this.

Chen Jin has more than one daughter, he also has a big son who is being raised by Chen Zhi.

Of course, this secret cannot be told to others, so I am just asking now.

"My second sister-in-law is being bullied by my mother-in-law because of that incident with Miss Guo."

"The Third Young Master's wife is wise!" Meixiang raised her eyebrows. "It is said that the Second Young Master's wife is the housekeeper now, and the Madam forced her to find a way to drive Miss Guo out. But now she is serving in the study beside the master, and the master protects her, so how can she be so active?"

Xinyue came over and asked, "Miss Guo, are you really willing to be the master's concubine?"

"You don't have to worry about these. I have my own rules." Xu Shuhe smiled and stood up. "Well, we are all family. Something happened to my second sister-in-law. I should go and persuade her. Come with me to take a look."

Ju Rui Hall had obviously been cleaned up.

There was no scene of looting and destruction as Meixiang described.

The maid guarding the gate went into the room and reported, and Qiao Yue, the head maid beside Li Mingzhu, came out to welcome her in.

"How are you, sister-in-law? I brought some fruit and snacks to talk to you."

After entering the house, Xu Shuhe put on a concerned look.

Li Mingzhu was obviously not in good condition. She was sitting on a small couch by the window, leaning against a large pillow, with her head supported by one hand.

"My sister-in-law is here. Please sit down. I don't feel very energetic right now. What kind of tea would you like? I'll ask someone to make a pot for you."

Xu Shuhe sat down next to her. "I'm not picky. I'll drink whatever is available here. Sister-in-law, try the fruit I brought. They are freshly bought lychees and are very sweet."

As he spoke, he asked Xinyue to bring the things up.

Li Mingzhu felt upset and couldn't eat much, but she was always good at saving face, so she ate one anyway.

"Thank you, Third Sister-in-law. Lychees of this quality must be expensive. You must have paid for them yourself."

"As long as my second sister-in-law likes it, it's fine." Xu Shuhe smiled, as if he had considered it for a while, and then he spoke again, "I have also heard about my second sister-in-law and my second brother. I really understand your suffering. The pregnant woman next to my second brother today is just like Chunliu, who was with me back then. She looks disgusting, but we have to tolerate her."

Speaking of Chunliu and thinking about what happened before, Li Mingzhu felt uncomfortable.

At that time, she laughed at Xu Shuhe, but she didn't expect Xu Shuhe to settle the matter. Now she is angry again.

But she couldn't touch Qianwen easily. After all, she and Chen Jin had been married for some years, and they still hadn't given birth to a son. If her concubine was pregnant, she would have to be kept as a treasure.

Even though Feng was under house arrest, she was still well aware of what was happening in the mansion. Before Xu Shuhe came, she had already sent someone to warn her to take good care of Qianwen and give birth to this baby.

"What can I do? Your second brother has few children. Now that someone is pregnant, he naturally wants to keep the baby. But I just feel uncomfortable." Li Mingzhu rarely told the truth.

And Xu Shuhe came here to help her, so he said it at the right time.

"As a woman, I naturally understand the difficulties of my second sister-in-law. I came to talk to her today because I have a few words to tell her."

Li Mingzhu looked at her and didn't think she would really give her advice, but she also wanted to listen, so she nodded, "Go ahead."

"The issue of having children is not a woman's responsibility alone. Without my second brother, how could you, my second sister-in-law, get pregnant even if you are in good health? But you serve your parents-in-law, take care of the housework, and take care of Yan Jie'er every day. You are so busy that you don't even have time to sit down and talk to my second brother. My second brother can't stand loneliness, so he has gone somewhere else. How can he be here with you, my second sister-in-law?"

Having said that, Xu Shuhe paused, a look of regret on his face.

"I think my second sister-in-law is also quite pretty, but look at yourself, second sister-in-law, how long has it been since you took the time to dress up?"
