Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 372 Dilemma
After Xiaotao and Zhu Qingyue were fine, everyone in the second room heaved a sigh of relief.

The same was true for Chai Shi, who felt that the big rock that had been pressing down on his heart finally fell steadily.Needless to say, just for her son Nylon, she has to go to the Buddha to worship a few times in person, offer more incense, add more lamp oil money, and do more meritorious deeds.

In just three to five days of hard work, Zhu Jinlun has lost a lot of weight, frowning every day, not thinking about tea, his whole face is sunken,

Seeing her distressed, Mrs. Chai talked and persuaded her, but he just couldn't hear it.Now Xiaotao woke up, the child was fine, and the son finally came back to his senses.

It's just that the people from the He family are coming soon.In-laws from the past, enemies now, no one wants to see such a situation.

As a mother-in-law, Chai will inevitably have to deal with them one by one. She is too lazy to worry about that, and she doesn't want to do such troublesome things. She really hopes that there is someone who can handle things wisely by her side to help her solve these problems.

At this moment, Zhu Jun was sitting here, casually making sarcastic remarks, Chai knew that he could not refer to him about the inner house... After thinking about it, Chai had no choice but to go to the old lady.

However, the old lady didn't care about her difficulties, nor did she want to care.

"Before, Yuechen from the first room accidentally asked about the affairs of your yard, but you came to me angrily and complained for a long time. Now, the second room has something to do again. You want someone to help you, but where can I go? Find someone to come out. Your sister-in-law is not here, maybe I want this old bone to come forward and listen to the sarcastic remarks from the He family."

The old lady's tone was slightly displeased, but her expression was still gentle.

She knew Chai's difficulties, and she was unwilling to come forward to do such a thing, but who in the Zhu family would be willing?
Chai said in a coquettish tone, "Old Ancestor, you should love your wife more. The eldest brother and sister-in-law have not come back on time, and the second master has a big heart and doesn't like to meddle in the affairs of the yard. I even There is no one to discuss it, so..."

When she said this, she deliberately stopped talking and put on an aggrieved look.

Sure enough, seeing this, the old lady softened her heart and said: "The people of the He family are not scourges, so why are you so worried? It should be our Zhu family who want to be angry and powerful when He Yalin commits such a scandal. What qualifications do they have?" Come here to give orders... Okay, you go back and take good care of Nylon, wait for them to come and see the situation before talking, everything is up to me."

Zhu Feng and Li Shi were delayed on the road for a long time, and they were about to return, but Zhu Feng met an old friend of many years on the way, and was invited to visit him, so he had to send a letter back, saying that he would stay for a few days in the evening.

After hearing this, the old lady called Shen Yuechen to her, and said helplessly, "They are all very old, but their hearts are still so wild..."

Shen Yuechen smiled slightly: "The encounter on the way is also a kind of fate, maybe they have a fate with that old man."

"Your belly is sinking day by day and needs to be looked after."

"There are already enough people taking care of me in the yard, don't worry about my ancestors."

The old lady nodded: "Now, there are fewer people in your yard and it's much cleaner. It's the most suitable place to raise your baby with peace of mind."

Shen Yuechen's eyes flickered slightly, she looked down at the delicate tea bowl in her hand, and didn't reply immediately.

She knew that the old lady had a small knot in her heart.

In ancient times, it was common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but now, she is the only one left by Zhu Jintang's side.

For Shen Yuechen, this is naturally a good thing, but for the Zhu family and Zhu Jintang, it may not be a long-term solution.

"Old Ancestor, don't you have something to say to Yuechen?"

Shen Yuechen saw that her gaze had been resting on him vaguely, thinking that she must have something to say.

The old lady pondered for a moment, and then said: "Seeing Jintang love you so much, in fact, we are also very comforted in our hearts. You gave birth to Brother Xuan for the Zhu family, and now you are pregnant with a second one. For Jintang, It is indeed the best thing. The sons of the eldest son have always been weak. Thanks to you, the good things can be made in pairs. This is your credit, and it is also what makes me most satisfied. It stands to reason that Cao and the others are all self-inflicted, It's right to send it out. But in this way, you will be the only one by Jintang's side... You also know that you are inconvenient now and can't serve Jintang, so you should pay more attention to the people around you at the right time , see if there is a suitable one?"

The old lady's tone was very gentle, and what she meant was that she wanted her to find someone new for Zhu Jintang.

Shen Yuechen still lowered her eyes slightly, making it impossible to read the emotion in her eyes, she only asked softly: "Is there any suitable candidate in the old ancestor's heart?"

She answered questions with questions, just to find out what the old lady's real plan was.Is it a kind reminder, or a preparation.

"I don't have any candidates. I just want to tell you something. You have always been a sensible child. You don't need to say more about many things, just a little bit."

When Shen Yuechen heard the words, she suddenly had a bottom line in her heart.

She knew that the old lady brought up this matter without malice.It's just, purely out of my own considerations and deep-rooted feudal thinking.

"Old Ancestor, you have written down all your instructions, Yuechen. Please rest assured, Yuechen is grateful for the sincerity of the uncle, he is kind to Yuechen, and will always remind Yuechen, don't forget your true nature as a wife points. As long as the uncle likes it, Yuechen will readily agree, as long as he likes it."

Hearing this, the old lady nodded with satisfaction: "It's naturally best if you can think this way. My child, I've been there too, and a man is a man. Sometimes they can control their own hearts, but they may not be able to control their own people. "

She has also been young before, and knows the feeling of being alone. However, she has also experienced the aging years, and she also knows the feeling of being disgusted and rejected by others.

It is the inescapable fate of every woman to grow old and look yellow.

It's not that the old lady doesn't believe in Sun Zi Jintang's true feelings for Shen Yuechen, but she believes in the sharpness and indifference of the years.

Regardless of whether Shen Yuechen's answer was sincere or perfunctory, the old lady didn't intend to pursue it any further. This is not the time to be serious, they are still young, and the days to come will be long.

After Shen Yuechen came back from the upper room, he half-lyed on the bed, quietly waiting for Zhu Jintang to come back.

Cuixin thought she was asleep, so she came over to cover her quilt lightly, but found that she was staring at the top of the bed in a daze, she couldn't help but wondered, "Why are you awake, miss?"

Shen Yuechen said lightly: "It's not that I woke up, but I haven't slept all this time."

Hearing this, Cuixin only covered her stomach with a thin quilt, and then moved Xiudun to sit beside her bed. "Miss, is something on your mind?"

Shen Yuechen didn't nod or shake her head, just heard her continue: "Mother Wu said that she will cook a lot of delicious food tonight."

Hearing this, Shen Yuechen turned her head slightly, looked at her yearning face, pursed the corners of her mouth and smiled and said, "You are all big girls, but as soon as you mention food, you will start to feel happy."

Cui Xin stuck out her tongue embarrassingly: "This servant is worthless and has been greedy since she was a child. Thanks to the care of the young lady, she is able to live a good life now. There is delicious food every day."

Shen Yuechen smiled and said: "Perhaps it's because I eat so much delicious food that my mouth becomes sweeter."

Cui Xin smiled and said: "Wu Mama said, miss now is the hardest time, let the servants say more nice things when they are serving you, to make you happy and relieve your boredom. Yesterday, the servants also deliberately learned I made several jokes, and I wanted to tell the young lady... but the servant girl is very stupid, and I'm afraid I can't say it well..."

"It's okay, tell me, I'm just trying to hear a joke right now."

Cui Xin hesitated for a moment before speaking.

What she said were all old jokes, although they were not new, they still made Shen Yuechen laugh.

Coincidentally, when Zhu Jintang came back from the outside, he heard the laughter in the room, and couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

He hadn't heard her laugh like that in days.

I thought the children were all in the house, but when I went in, there were only Shen Yuechen and Cui Xin, and Cui Xin was sitting by the bed, making gestures and talking, which made Shen Yuechen laugh again and again.

"What are you master and servant talking about? Are you talking so lively?"

Hearing the sound, Cuixin quickly stopped talking, turned around and saluted Zhu Jintang, her tone was not as fluent as before, but stammered a bit: "Greetings to..."

Shen Yuechen was amused by her tone again, sat up slightly, and said: "Master came back really early, just now Cui Xin was telling me a joke."

Zhu Jintang bypassed Cuixin, sat directly beside the bed, and said, "Really? Then continue talking, so that I can listen too."

Cui Xin stood with her head bowed, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she felt a little embarrassed: "Your servant...your servant's speech is not good."

"I think she speaks well. It's not easy to amuse you."

Shen Yuechen gave Zhu Jintang an angry look with a smile, then looked at Cuixin again, and ordered: "Go and bring tea to the uncle."

Cui Xin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and quickly retreated out.

Seeing her leaving, Zhu Jintang only looked at Shen Yuechen and said, "She's gone, who will tell you a joke? Or, let me try."

Shen Yuechen leaned her head lightly on his shoulder, and said softly: "No need, this concubine is happy enough today."

"Oh? What good things can't happen?"

Shen Yuechen thought for a while and said, "Although there is nothing good, there is nothing bad either."

Zhu Jintang smiled, inadvertently smelled a faint scent of sandalwood on the tip of his nose, and asked casually, "Did you go to the room just now?"

Since she became pregnant, no spices were used in the room, only flowers and fruits were placed.

Shen Yuechen said with a smile: "Master's nose is really good!"

"Did grandma reward you again? So, you guess so happy."

Shen Yuechen shook his head, stretched out his hand to hold his generous palm, and said half-jokingly: "No, there is no reward, just talking to me."

Zhu Jintang didn't want to ask more questions, but just answered casually: "What did you say?"

Shen Yuechen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said softly: "It's nothing, it's just trivial matters."
