The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 338 6 Sister-in-law Wants Divorce

The women at the table couldn't stop sighing.

Shi Yao quietly found a seat and sat down, holding the tea poured by the maid. Seeing that Wang Fan was indeed wiping her tears, she thought to herself, if she had not seen how Wang Fan punished Zheng, she would have almost believed it.

The younger generation did not dare to speak. They all pretended to wipe their tears, sobbed and mumbled, "The eldest wife is so pitiful!"

Shi Yao quickly pressed the handkerchief soaked in ginger juice to the corners of her eyes, and tears immediately flowed like a fountain.

Shen turned to look at Rong: "Third sister-in-law, Gong Xuan is your daughter-in-law, what do you think?"

Both the old Duke and the Duke of Zhenguo had to listen carefully to Shen's words. Rong didn't dare to act rashly in front of her. She wanted to argue for Gong Xuan, saying that the eldest son needed her and the eldest grandson needed her.

But sending Gong Xuan to the ancestral temple was something the old grandfather had already decided on.

Moreover, Gong Xuan lost her pregnancy and cursed, beat and scolded the servants every day. She did not come out to cause trouble because she was afraid of hurting herself.

Rong was also a little impatient with her and was only concerned about Shi Mingkui, fearing that her son would make a fuss.

"Forget it, my sister-in-law is the most important, let Sister Xuan go. Sister Xuan has always been the most filial to my sister-in-law, they are aunt and niece, I think if Sister Xuan goes there, my sister-in-law's illness will get better."

This was a sarcastic remark, and Shen didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Fu Nanjun choked up and said, "I will thank my fourth sister-in-law a lot later. She took care of my mother-in-law for me, and I will be grateful to her for the rest of my life. Without further ado, I will have someone pack up and send my fourth sister-in-law over this afternoon. This will be considered as an explanation to the old man, and it will also help to appease my mother-in-law sooner."

Everyone: "..."

Is this your gratitude?

Fu Nanjun was now the master of the inner house, and his words were final. While crying, he ordered the maids and servants to go to Chanmao Pavilion to "help pack the luggage."

Shi Yao took a quick glance and estimated that there were about twenty people in the huge team, most of whom were big and strong women who looked very strong.

Rong heaved a sigh of relief.

This saves her from having to become a bad person.

Everyone recalled the good things Zheng had done in the past and their tears gradually stopped. Fu Nanjun happily ordered people to serve the meal.

While the meal was in the middle of a lively moment, Shi Mingkui came in a wheelchair, pushed by a servant. It was obvious that he was here to call for an explanation.

Unexpectedly, when he took a quick look, he saw Shen sitting there. She shut up in time, just smiled and asked someone to bring two more dishes, then slid away in her wheelchair.

After the meal, the maid Yue Jian brought a bowl of medicine, and Wang Fan tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

Shen asked with concern: "Mingmo, what medicine are you taking? What's wrong with your body?"

Wang Fan held a candied date in his mouth, wiped the medicine stains from the corners of his mouth, and answered with a bitter face: "It's medicine for conditioning the body. I've asked several doctors to check it out. I'm in good health, so don't worry, Second Aunt."

What this meant was that she was taking medicine to aid fertility.

Shen frowned and advised gently, "Since the doctor didn't say you're sick, you should take less medicine."

Wang Fan smiled bitterly.

Shi Yao said, "That's exactly what Second Aunt said. Medicine is three-quarters poison. If you can avoid taking medicine, it's better not to take it. Second Aunt, please persuade Sixth Sister-in-law. Last time I went to the family temple, Sixth Sister-in-law drank bowl after bowl of soup medicine. She couldn't eat and her face was sallow. I felt sorry for her. Right, Second Sister-in-law?"

She turned and winked at Le An Ning.

Le An Ning was stunned. When had Wang Fan ever taken medicine? But she agreed, "Yes, yes, the way Fan Jieer took medicine was scary! She got sick even if she was not sick. Second Aunt, you have to persuade her more. She will definitely listen to you."

Shen began to persuade Wang Fan, and then looked at Rong with a bit of pressure at the end: "Third sister-in-law, Fan is your daughter-in-law, you should also say something to comfort her."

Rong was already feeling uncomfortable because Gong Xuan was sent away, and when Wang Fan brought up her infertility, she felt even more ashamed. She forced a smile and said,

"Mingmo, daughter-in-law, just listen to everyone, take less medicine, and relax. You and Mingmo are still young, and you will have children sooner or later."

Shen was slightly displeased.

She asked Rong to relieve the pressure on Wang Fan, but Rong's words were clearly an attempt to put pressure on her.

Wang Fan said in fear and trepidation, "I understand. Madam, don't worry, I won't take medicine recklessly anymore."

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly bent down and vomited all the medicine he had just drunk into the basin.

Everyone was frightened. Fu Nanjun hurriedly helped her up and asked the maids to fetch water.

Rong covered her mouth and nose, stood far away, frowned, and there was a bit of disgust in her eyes.

This daughter-in-law is so troublesome. She always causes trouble for her.

There are other good times to take medicine. Why do you have to take it in front of everyone? Aren't you ashamed?

She can't lay eggs, and she herself doesn't look good, but does that mean the third wife will feel proud?

Shen ordered someone to call for a doctor.

Wang Fan kept spitting out yellow water, then rinsed his mouth, washed his face and hands. He looked unhappy and his eyes were dull.

Fu Nanjun let her lie on his bed.

After a while, Shi Mingmo came in in a panic. Because it was his sister-in-law's bedroom, it was not convenient for him to go in, so he stood outside anxiously.

The doctor took Wang Fan's pulse and said only that he had lost his appetite. He told him to eat light food for the next two days. He also said that there was no other problem and told him not to take any medicine randomly.

Shi Mingmo was heartbroken and supported Wang Fan back to the garden.

Here in Handan Courtyard, everyone dispersed one by one when they saw that nothing was wrong.

Shen was thoughtful and called the maid to ask, "Are there more than a dozen maids in the Sixth Master's courtyard?"

The maid replied respectfully, "Yes."

"Have you ever used them all?"

"Yes, they are confiscated. Sixth Grandma won't keep them for nothing."

"Have you taken the contraceptive soup?"

The maid replied, "It is said that there is none."

"I heard that the Sixth Master has been keeping maids as his concubines for two or three months, but none of them got pregnant?"

The maid hesitated: "Maybe Sixth Madam was being generous and tampered with the food."

Shen's face suddenly darkened, and she solemnly ordered, "Send a few people to keep an eye on Zigui Garden in the next few days."

She wanted to see whether it was Shi Mingmo who was infertile or Wang Fan who was playing tricks behind the scenes.

Maybe, both.

She had to be on guard against these nephews' wives at all times.

Men tend to underestimate the lethality of women. She herself is a woman, but she never dares to underestimate women.

The maid agreed and went to arrange it immediately.

At the end of the Wei hour, Wang Fan insisted on leaving the house to see the miracle doctor.

He was a doctor that her family had finally found. It was said that all those who took the medicine of this miracle doctor became pregnant.

She cried and insisted on going, saying that she was embarrassed today and if she still couldn't get pregnant, she would not dare to go out and see people in the future.

Shi Mingmo was at his wit's end, and was afraid that she would run to the ancestral temple to hide from him, secretly take medicine, and then damage her body, so he had to accompany her.

The maid received the news and immediately reported to Shen.

It happened that Shen went out of the house on some business, not for any other matter, but to meet Shi Mingzhu.

The wedding date of the Fourth Prince Zhou Shao and Lin Zhiwu was set. Shi Mingzhu cried all night. Zhou Shao had no choice but to ask Shi's family to persuade her.

Shen had no way to refuse, and without even having time to take a nap, she got on the carriage and hurried to Prince Cheng's mansion.

The maid thought that nothing would happen, so she stopped delivering the message to Prince Cheng's palace.

Who would have thought that this lucky chance would lead to something big happening.

As soon as Wang Fan returned home, she went to Ganlu Hall crying and begged the old lady to preside over the divorce!
