Zhu Yan Was Pregnant
The coldness of the night was quite heavy. Su Li returned to the Su House with cold dew. Before she took off her cloak, she saw Mammy Li hurriedly said, "Miss, a disaster is imminent! The First Madam was badly beaten by the Master. The reason is unknown."
Su Li couldn’t help but feel astounded when hearing what Mammy Li said. Would Su Huanli actually beat Zhu Yan?
What did Qu Qingning do in the end? He let Su Huanli be so furious. Although she proposed the plan, she did not expect the effect to be so good.
Su Li dressed herself up and then left the Jinyuan Court without having dinner.
The Jinyuan Court was not far from Zhu Yan’s wing-room. Just passing through two small courtyards, Su Li set foot on Zhu Yan’s site.
It was the first time for her to set foot in the West Wing-room since she was reborn. If her mother was injured, it wouldn’t be justified for her not to come and see her mother.
In the room, Zhu Yan was lying in bed. There was also a doctor and Su Zipei, who sat beside the bed and kept wiping tears. Su Li came in and immediately aroused Su Zipei’s awareness. Su Zipei looked back and saw Su Li, and her face immediately became darkened, "What are you doing? Are you amusing yourself by watching us?"
Su Li couldn’t help but show a gloomy face and stuttered, "What is the Third Sister saying? I… I just want to come and see our mother."
Su Zipei looked at Su Li’s appearance, and she was immediately furious. She stood up and scolded, "To see whom? Can you see my mother? Hurry up and go away as far as possible. We cannot claim ties of kinship with the shopkeeper of the Baiwei Building!"
The doctor who diagnosed the disease saw the scene and shook his head. The Third Miss of the Su Family was as bad as the rumor. Miss Su Li was unlucky.
Suddenly, his hand trembled on Zhu Yan’s pulse and showed a horrified look. He couldn’t help but scream, "The First Madam is pregnant!"
"What? Is the First Madam pregnant?"
Su Huanli felt so shocked when he got the news that the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and broke into several pieces. Instantly, his expression was so gloomy. He didn’t sleep with his wife for a long time. How was she pregnant?
Su Huanli thought he had been cuckolded like Yang Li.
Su Huanli came to the West Wing-room with a pale face and saw Su Li, who was afraid to go in front of the door. He became softhearted and comforted her. Then he snorted and stepped into the room.
"Daddy!" Su Zipei hadn’t seen Su Huanli for a long time and jumped up and said happily, "My mother must be pregnant with a little brother."
Sure enough, her father came to see them as soon as he heard the news of pregnancy.
Su Huanli’s face was still pale. He sat beside the bed and looked at the piggish Zhu Yan beaten by himself. He said in a cold voice, "Whose child is it?"
Zhu Yan was awake at this moment. After she woke up, she heard the doctor’s diagnosis and immediately got up in spirits. She didn’t expect Su Huanli’s first remark was full of doubt.
"I… I am not Su Yuezhu!" Zhu Yan felt wronged to death and tried to speak hard, "Master, can you… remember… the birthday banquet of the Yang Family? That night… you…"
Su Huanli’s look changed slightly. He had a lot of drinks that night and his memory was not clear. It seemed that he came back with Zhu Yan, and then…
It seemed that his wife was telling the truth according to the date.
Su Huanli looked soft and turned to the doctor and asked, "Doctor, how about the fetus in my wife’s belly?"
The doctor nodded and said, "Madam…had a fall and had strong pregnancy reaction. I’ll make a prescription to make her recuperate later."
"That’s good."
Su Huanli sighed with relief. If his mother knew that he had beaten Zhu Yan and killed her baby, she would definitely pick his skin!
"In this case, madame, feel at ease to raise your baby. Don’t be tired. Doctor, my wife’s tonic will bother you."
Su Huanli made an arrangement and then let Li Yin send a letter to his mother, Mam. Su-Cui, who had worshipped Buddha in a temple since the elder head of the family died. She had lived in a temple and prayed for the safety of the Su Family.
Before she left, she gave an order that if there was a new baby in the Su Family, they must tell her.
Su Li saw the scene in her eyes, and curled up her mouth
Mam. Su-Cui was going to come back. Her miserable life was mostly caused by the old woman and Zhu Yan who acted in collusion with
The fifth child of the Su Family was indeed a boy. Unfortunately, Zhu Yan gave birth to a dead baby, which made Mam. Su-Cui extremely angry.
On the third day after the news came out from Li Yin, a carriage was stopped in front of the Su House. Su Huanli immediately greeted his mother and opened the curtain personally. An old lady with sandalwood scent and plain clothes stepped down and grabbed her son and asked repeatedly,
"My son, take me to see my future grandson!"
Su Huanli coughed deliberately and then stopped talking. Finally, he did not dare to say anything. He helped his mother come to the West Wing-room. Mam. Su-Cui saw Zhu Yan’s piggish face and instantly felt shocked. She asked, "Yan, why are you hurt so severely? Who did it?"
Mam. Su-Cui had a strong preference for Zhu Yan. Her prejudice towards Li Yuelian changed after she gave birth to two sons. But even though Zhu Yan gave birth to two daughters, she still spoiled Zhu Yan. She even loved her daughter-in-law more than her son.
Zhu Yan saw Mam. Su-Cui, and her eyes were full of tears. She said grievingly, "Mother, it doesn’t matter. I just had a fall."
"Dear Yan! What happened?"
Mam. Su-Cui painfully shed tears. Su Huanli saw Zhu Yan helping him hide it and felt relaxed. When he remembered the fifth son who was to be born, his resentment towards Zhu Yan was much less.
Chatting with Zhu Yan till evening, Mam. Su-Cui left for rest.
When Mam. Su-Cui came back, Su Li obviously felt that the atmosphere of the West Courtyard of the Su House was different. If the West Courtyard was in a state of disunity under her means, it was under Mam. Su-Cui’s control that a solid wall had been built, showing a sense of rigorousness everywhere.
"My son, what’s wrong with you? How could you give the Jinyuan Court to Erya. The place is reserved for my grandson. If you let Qinghao live, I won’t say anything. But Erya can’t!"
After a rough understanding of the current situation of the Su House, Mam. Su-Cui instantly felt furious and she came to harass Su Huanli early in the morning, causing him a headache.
"Also, you didn’t like the womenfolk of the Su Family to read most. Why do you change your mind now? Zipei is so excellent that you don’t teach her, and you teach Erya who is inferior. I’m pissed off!"
It was unknown how Zhu Yan talked about Su Li. Mam. Su-Cui was very disgusted with her. Her impression of Su Li remained on the ugly and thin dirty girl a few years ago. She felt suffocated in her heart at the thought that Su Erya, who looked like a beggar, lived in the magnificent Jinyuan Court.
Su Huanli smiled bitterly, "Mother, Erya has a new name, Su Li. She is now the most talented and beautiful girl in the Dasu Town. She is much better than Zipei. If she isn’t too young, the matchmaker will have broken the threshold."
"Really? She is really as good as you said. Aren’t you kidding me?"
Mam. Su-Cui did not believe it. Su Huanli nodded and said, "Yes, mother. Yan can get out of bed now. I will arrange a reunion dinner tonight to treat you, and ask Erya to come over so that you can look at her carefully."
"Okay." Mam. Su-Cui also knew that she didn’t convince Su Huanli for a while, so she could only nod her head and agreed.
At night, Su Li came back from the outside and immediately received the news from a maid. After making sure that she looked good, she told Mammy Li she was heading for the Main Courtyard and then she left alone.
Far away from the Main Courtyard, Su Li heard the laughter of Mam. Su-Cui, Zhu Yan and Su Zipei, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Su Li walked to the door and the room was instantly quiet. When Mam. Su-Cui saw Su Li, she was shocked. She opened her mouth so wide that she could swallow a cow. She hadn’t seen the girl for several years. Her son didn’t deceive her. Su Li turned into such a pretty girl.
Zhu Yan and Su Zipei were unhappy at the same time, as if they had seen an enemy. Li Yuelian looked at the scene with a funny smile and didn’t speak. Su Qinghao was focusing on snacks and didn’t notice the strange atmosphere.
"Su Li is here to pay respects to grandma."
Su Li took a step closer and talked in a warm manner. Her manner was comparable to that of the prominent family. Instantly, Mam. Su-Cui felt shocked again.
But even so, Mam. Su-Cui just nodded slightly, and her expression was cold. She even felt disgusting.
"Su Li, the bitch, is really the same as what Yan have said!"
The minds of the elderly were sometimes so difficult to understand. Whether they were right or not, they look at people by their subjective will. Now that she was on Zhu Yan’s side, she naturally trusted her words to the utmost, and didn’t think Zhu Yan was cheating.
"Now that you are here, sit down."
Su Li gently nodded and saw her position and sat down. Mam. Su-Cui suddenly yelled, "Stop! Is that a seat you can sit in? Look at it clearly!"
Su Li stopped unnaturally and looked up doubtfully.
The table was arranged in terms of seniority in the family. Mam. Su-Cui was arranged in the best seat. Then they were Su Huanli, Zhu Yan, Li Yuelian, Su Qinghao, Su Li and Su Zipei.
Su Huanli hadn’t come, and the two positions were empty. There was nothing wrong with Su Li choosing the latter of two positions. But Mam. Su-Cui said it was wrong.
Mam. Su-Cui snorted coldly and said to Su Zipei pleasantly, "Zipei, sit on your Second Sister’s seat."
Su Zipei jumped up in a pleasant surprise. "Really? Grandma!"
Mam. Su-Cui laughed kindly, "Of course it is true. Grandma won’t lie to you."
"Grandma, how good you are!"
Su Zipei said sweetly, and immediately moved next to Su Qinghao. Su Qinghao wrinkled his nose and leaned over to his mother. He hated the Third Sister because she often bullied the Second Sister.
After sitting down, Su Zipei glanced at Su Li with an arrogant expression and was extremely complacent when she saw that Su Li still stood there obediently.
Su Li, even if Daddy was fascinated by you, there was also grandma in the Su Family!
"Okay, Erya, sit down!"
Mam. Su-Cui looked at Su Li’s clever appearance, and could not think of other ways to make trouble for her. After all, it was a reunion dinner tonight, and she didn’t want to upset her son. What she cared about was that the girl let Zhu Yan abort in those days and could still sit at the main table to eat. It was really lucky for her!
Shortly afterwards, Su Huanli, who was busy with his business, hurried in and saw the order on the table. He was stunned at once. Seeing Mam. Su-Cui’s eyes again, he immediately understood something, and grinned bitterly in his heart. He had to pretend not to see it and sit down as if nothing had happened.
"Okay, let’s begin."
Mam. Su-Cui gave an order and the maids immediately started serving the dishes. Sure enough, the food of the Su Family wouldn’t be bad. For an instant there was full of fragrance.
"Yan, you are pregnant now. Eat more to build up health!"
"Thank you, mother."
"Zipei, why are you so thin? Have you been malnourished recently? Eat the chicken leg. And Qinghao, give you the other chicken leg."
"Thank you, grandma." Su Zipei and Su Qinghao said together.
During the feast, Mam. Su-Cui kept taking food for the younger generation. A large bowl of whole chicken soup was mostly given to Zhu Yan. The two chicken legs were given to Su Zipei and Su Qinghao, and the wings were given to Su Huanli. Li Yuelian ate a piece of meat and drank half a bowl of soup.
As for Su Li, she didn’t even have any soup.
