After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 188 Let’s Stay at the Princess’ Residence Today

As soon as Zheng opened her mouth, she started crying, as if she felt that her daughter had suffered a great injustice.

Xu Rong was afraid that Zheng would say something nonsense, so she quickly pulled her aside and said, "Mother, I've had morning sickness and no appetite these past few days. I want to eat the sour plum soup made by the cook in the Marquis Mansion."

Zheng's mind finally came to its senses. She knew that she couldn't get anything out of them in front of Zhou and Zhou Lai.

Maybe Xu Rong was threatened by them, so she didn't dare to tell her the truth.

Moreover, in front of so many servants, Rong'er might not be able to speak. After all, this is definitely not a glorious thing.

It seems that I need to find a chance to be alone with Xu Rong before I can find out anything.

No matter how anxious Zheng was, she calmed down now. "If you like sour plum soup, that's easy."

Zheng immediately looked at the nanny and said, "Ask the cook to make a bowl of sour plum soup. Also, we have guests at the mansion today, so ask the main kitchen to prepare the banquet quickly."

"Yes." The nanny responded and went to the kitchen to pass on the message.

Zheng originally wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Xu Rong alone, but for some reason, Zhou insisted on following Zheng whenever she wanted to take Xu Rong away.

Moreover, the reasons she gave were so eloquent that Zheng could not refute them.

The more closely Zhou kept an eye on her, the more Zheng felt that there was something strange about Xu Rong's pregnancy, and she became even more worried.

When Xu Rong returned home, the kitchen prepared a banquet.

At noon, everyone moved to the dining hall together.

Zheng's injured leg made it difficult for her to walk. Xu Rong wanted to help her, but Zheng clapped her hands and said, "You're still pregnant. If my injured leg gets on you and you fall, it will be bad."

Upon hearing this, Zhou immediately pulled Xu Rong over and said, "Sister is right. You are pregnant, so don't try to help her. It would be bad if she falls and hurts the baby. Besides, there are so many people in your mansion, who needs your help?"

Zheng seemed to agree with Zhou's words and raised her chin towards Jiang Xiyu. "Just let Jiang help me."

Jiang Xiyu glanced at Xu Rong meaningfully before stepping forward to support Zheng. "I'll help mother. You two go to the dining hall first."

Jiang Xiyu said this and winked at Sun.

Sun was a smart woman and immediately went up to Zhou and said, "Let's go. Summer is almost here and the sun is very scorching outside. You're pregnant and can't stand being in the sun. Let's go to the dining hall first."

Zhou didn't think too much about it, so she pulled Xu Rong and followed Hu and the others to the dining hall.

Zheng had difficulty walking, so Jiang Xiyu supported her, and the two of them ended up at the end.

After the people in front walked away, Zheng grabbed Jiang Xiyu's hand and said, "Jiang, do you think Rong'er is really pregnant or faking it?"

Jiang Xiyu raised her eyebrows and said, "It's impossible for my aunt to lie about something like this. After all, the baby is due in October."

Moreover, the Yonglin Marquis Mansion also has a palace doctor, and the palace doctor can tell whether the woman is pregnant or not with just one check. There is no need for Zhou to tell such a lie.

Jiang Xiyu's words made Zheng even more anxious. "But with Zhou Lai like that, how can Rong'er get pregnant?"

Jiang Xiyu frowned, was silent for a moment, and shook her head, "I don't know about that."

This is indeed a difficult question to answer, just like that day in the guest garden, Zhou Lai had clearly been abolished, but how could he have caused Xu Rong to lose her uterine blood?

She still hasn't figured out this problem.

Zheng was very worried and leaned close to Jiang Xiyu and whispered a few words.

Jiang Xiyu frowned, as if she was in trouble.

Zheng's expression was solemn. "This time, you must find a way to help me no matter what."

After finishing lunch together, everyone returned to the main hall to drink tea.

Zhou couldn't sit still any longer. She pulled Xu Rong aside and said, "Rong'er is pregnant now. She can't be too tired. We've been out for half a day. It's time for us to go back."

Zheng frowned and said, "Rong'er rarely comes back, so you can stay at the Princess's residence today."

"No." Zhou refused without hesitation. When everyone cast suspicious glances at her, she quickly explained, "Rong'er is pregnant now. She's carrying our Zhou family's child. How can we let her live away from home? She should come back to the Zhou family and be taken care of by me personally. I'll feel at ease."

Zheng glared angrily, "What do you mean by living outside? This is Rong'er's family home, how can it be considered outside?"

Mrs. Zhou was too lazy to argue with Mrs. Zheng at this moment. "Anyway, Rong'er has to go back to the Zhou family with us. I don't feel comfortable letting her live outside."

Zheng was so angry that she looked at Xu Rong again, hoping that she could make the decision herself, but today Xu Rong seemed to be controlled by Zhou. No matter what Zhou said, she would cooperate or just keep silent.

Zheng was very anxious, but she was helpless and could only look to Jiang Xiyu for help.

Jiang Xiyu said, "This is my sister's first child, so it's normal for my aunt to be nervous. It's okay if we don't live in the mansion, but it's still early. If we go back now, people will laugh at us, the Yonglin Marquis Mansion, for not being hospitable to guests."

Jiang Xiyu said this and winked at Zheng.

Zheng was displeased and said with a curled lip, "It's fine if you don't stay. Then have dinner and go back."

When Zhou heard that it would be evening, she became unhappy and opened her mouth to refuse again, but Jiang Xiyu spoke first, "Mother has missed my sister for a long time. My sister hasn't come home for three days. Now that she has finally come back, if you rush back, mother will probably start to have all sorts of thoughts and cause trouble. It will also be very troublesome for us younger generations to follow suit."

Jiang Xiyu's words instantly reminded Zhou of the incident when Zheng had come to cause trouble.

"Then have dinner and go back." Zhou finally agreed with a frown.

"Have some tea, have some tea." Mrs. Hu tried to smooth things over with a smile.

Jiang Xiyu glanced at Hu Shi, who immediately understood and stared at the jewelry on Jiang Xiyu and said, "Sister-in-law, this set of headwear must be priceless. I've never seen you wear it before."

With just one word from Mrs. Hu, everyone's attention was focused on Jiang Xiyu.

Jiang Xiyu was dressed so dazzlingly today that everyone had already noticed the jewelry on her.

"They are all the best stuff." Jiang Xiyu replied calmly.

Hu was curious, "Were these also awarded by those nobles?"

Jiang Xiyu didn't comment, "I guess so."

Although she didn't know the true identity of the masked man, she was certain that he was either rich or noble, otherwise he couldn't have produced such precious jewelry.

Everyone present had an envious look on their faces, and Xu Rong and Zhou were even more jealous.

Jiang Xiyu had a very good life. She was just the daughter of a warrior and a female doctor, but who would have thought that the warrior would become a great general of the Yun Dynasty, and the female doctor would be favored by the late empress dowager and all the queens, princesses and princesses. Not only did she receive so many priceless jewels, but her father was willing to give all these priceless treasures to her as a dowry.

He even gave her everything in the General's Mansion, which led to the sensational Ten Miles of Red Makeup at that time.
