"I don't have anything I want, so I can choose a man with good character and ability. How stupid would I be to hang myself on a useless person? Of course, this useless person is different from our talented lady. After all, he really likes you. For you, this should be a good advantage. It's rare to have a lover. I just don't know how long this love can last
It is also well known that it is better to marry a good husband than a good man, especially when the man has no say at home. Except for Hua Bochen, the rest of the people in Pingjin Marquis's mansion are not very friendly to you. This useless guy can't protect you, and I'm afraid my sister-in-law will have a hard time. "Wen Renying said leisurely, with a relaxed look.
"But your sister-in-law's situation seems to be different. After all, she had no choice, which is pitiful. But it seems that your sister-in-law has a good attitude. She has no resentment or hatred. It feels like she married the person she likes. If this is the case, it makes sense. However, if this is really the case, your sister-in-law's preferences are really unique."
Li Ruoshui felt that it was very glaring. In the past, she thought that if she caught a man, she would be fearless. In fact, it was not the case. Anyone with a normal eye could see how badly Hua Bochen was beaten. Li Ruoshui felt somewhat uneasy. Such a man might not be reliable, but it was too late.
"You have gained benefits from the Pingjin Marquis's Mansion, but you keep belittling their young master. You don't feel guilty about it."
"Why do I feel guilty when you say that? Although I am an adopted daughter, I am more filial than his biological son. I won't make my adopted mother angry or cause trouble for her. From time to time, I can even be a caring little cotton-padded jacket. Hua Bochen got involved with you and made his biological mother so angry that she became ill. What is he?"
To be honest, even if there was a conflict with Hua Bochen, the people in Pingjin Marquis Mansion, even if they might be a little unhappy, would only stand on her side, because Pingjin Marquis Mansion wanted to maintain a good relationship with the fourth sister. This was the reality. On the surface, she took advantage of Pingjin Marquis Mansion, but if it weren't for the fourth sister, Pingjin Marquis Mansion might have been gone. This was something that could not be calculated.
You should use your power when you need to, and be arrogant when you need to be arrogant. Only in this way can you make people see the reality clearly. Being humble all the time will only make people think you are weak and can be bullied. Some things are not suitable for other people in the family to do, but she doesn't mind.
Li Ruoshui's mouth twitched, "No matter what, he is still his biological son, and you are just an adopted daughter, an outsider. You are good at speaking in front of me, so if you have the guts, go and say it in front of them."
"This is not a matter of ability or not, but my stepmother is very good to me, why should I do something that may hurt her. However, although you helped me to cancel the engagement, you still hurt me once, and if I don't return it to you, I will feel a little unhappy. You say I go back crying and tell my stepmother that you deliberately snatched Hua Bochen away and showed off in front of me, what do you think the result will be?" Wen Renying watched Li Ruoshui's face change, and her smile became more and more obvious, "Pretend to be weak and pitiful. Even if you, Li Ruoshui, are very good at this, as long as this person's heart is biased, your ability is equal to zero. You should have a deep understanding of this."
Li Ruoshui certainly understands this deeply. She is still a beneficiary in various ways, but now the situation is probably the other way around.
Li Ruoshui looked at Wen Renying and stopped talking.
Wen Renying's purpose was to find fault, how could she just let it go like this? "Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about now? Are you thinking about how to get back at her? Thinking about which man can help you? Or something else? Tell me and share your thoughts."
"Stop spitting blood!"
Wen Renying laughed, "I didn't say that, someone else said that. I was just repeating what they said. Sister-in-law, don't get so angry. Getting angry is bad for your health and will make you age faster. You are the most beautiful woman in the imperial city. It would be a pity if you were to become old and ugly so early. Besides, some things are just rumors spread outside. Few people would take such things seriously."
Li Ruoshui knew that Wen Renying came here just to irritate her, but she really couldn't do anything about her now. If things really got out of hand, she would definitely be the one to suffer.
Li Ruoshui asked the maid to see the guest off.
"Showing away the guests? I am the host of Pingjin Marquis Mansion today, helping to entertain the guests. Seriously speaking, my sister-in-law is the guest. After all, a woman is considered as her husband's family after she gets married. You see, your bridal chamber is so deserted, and I am waiting for you to accompany me with good intentions. If I am chased away now, I don't know if my stepmother will think that my sister-in-law is ungrateful."
Li Ruoshui used to be invincible everywhere, but today he was controlled by Wen Renying in various ways. He was passive everywhere and couldn't stand up at all.
Speaking of which, Wen Renying chose today on purpose to vent her anger. If Li Ruoshui had married into the Pingjin Marquis Mansion normally, she would have the courage to make trouble with her. What a pity!
Xiao Cao has been watching coldly without saying a word. Now, it is clear that her sister is wrong, but Xiao Cao doesn't think there is any problem at all. It's almost time, "Seventh sister, let's go."
"Okay, but, Fourth Sister, before you go, should you check the pulse of this Li… Hua Li first? After all, she promised that Mr. Hua to go, right? It's not easy for him to beg someone, and he has to pretend. Maybe there is something wrong. Is she vomiting after eating raw food, or is she pregnant? We have to check it out before we can know. There is still a possibility of pregnancy. If she is pregnant, it's still early, and my sister-in-law may not know about it. If there is a commotion, it will be bad if the fetus is disturbed. What do you think, Fourth Sister?"
Xiao Cao had not thought of this before, but it was indeed possible. No matter how disgusting Li Ruoshui was, at least the child was innocent now. So his eyes could not help but fall on Li Ruoshui's lower abdomen.
Li Ruoshui shrank subconsciously, and the hand that wanted to cover her belly was held back. "Ms. Wenren is an unmarried girl, and you keep talking about children. Aren't you ashamed? Your Wenren family is a family of scholars after all, and this is how you educate your children."
The smile on Wen Renying's face faded a little. She herself might not be good, but she would not tolerate others saying that the Wen family was not good. "To be honest, I am still not as good as my sister-in-law. After all, my sister-in-law is a few months younger than me."
Li Ruoshui's face turned a little green.
"Fourth sister, just give her a checkup. With your medical skills, you can tell exactly what's going on. The time is also clear. Fourth sister, others may not be able to figure it out, but you can definitely do it."
"No need, please get out!"
"Sister-in-law, why bother? It's all for your own good. Think about it. If she's really pregnant, today would be a double celebration. Some things are well known anyway, so you don't need to be embarrassed. And if you refuse to take my pulse because you're angry with me, what if we don't find it in time? Tonight is your wedding night, and if something unexpected happens, it won't be beautiful, right?"
Wen Renying persuaded kindly.
Li Ruoshui's face really turned green. It was common knowledge that she slept with Hua Bochen, so it was okay for her to be found pregnant today, right? She had already lost face, so it didn't matter if she, Li Ruoshui, lost face even more, right
There are quite a few people that Li Ruoshui hates in her heart, and there are even more people that she can't stand and doesn't take seriously. In her eyes, they are just like the mud and dust on the soles of her feet. Apart from making the soles of her shoes dirty and being annoying, do they have any other purpose
At this moment, Wen Renying was at the top of the list of people he hated, and he really wanted to eat her alive.
Xiaocao reached out and patted Wen Renying, and when she looked over, she gave her a look that said, "It's almost done."
Wen Renying shrugged her shoulders with a smile, then closed her mouth with a sweet smile.
Xiao Cao looked at Li Ruoshui, "I suggest you confirm it. There's no need to let everyone know today. You and the wife of Pingjin Marquis should know the situation in their hearts. Besides, after entering the house, it seemed that things were not going smoothly. It would be more reassuring to confirm it."
Xiaocao was just doing his duty as a doctor, and also for the sake of a possible little life.
But Li Ruoshui heard it differently. He treated her the same as Wen Renying. What's more, she really didn't dare to let Xiaocao take her pulse. She was not sure how powerful the ancient medical skills were. Moreover, she had also heard about Xiaocao's medical skills. Who knew how powerful she was? Would her condition be revealed under her pulse
"I don't know my own situation. Do I need you to meddle in my business? Get out immediately." His attitude became extremely tough.
When Wen Renying was arguing with Li Ruoshui just now, she was in a very good mood, but now her face immediately fell, "Fourth sister, your kindness is taken for granted. In this case, let's go. Let's go tell our stepmother, just for the sake of her possible grandchildren. In case something happens, we won't be blamed on us."
I refused myself. Xiaocao has never been the type to force things. I just gave her a reminder and that’s all I have to say.
He nodded, turned around and walked out with Wen Renying.
Li Ruoshui's face was as dark as ink, with his hands on his lower abdomen. All these things happened just because of a raw dumpling.
However, she did not feel very well now, and was a little flustered. Just in case, she was afraid that she could not keep the child. Although she had sex with King Cheng and Hua Bochen ten days apart, she could not guarantee that the people in this world did not know about the "safe period" and "period of fertility". If they knew, they would find a problem after comparing it with her menstrual period.
It turned out to be too naive to let the Pingjin Marquis' Mansion raise a child for Prince Cheng.
However, how could she let the Pingjin Marquisate let her off so easily after they treated her like that? After all, this was Prince Cheng's first child. When he learned about the situation last night, he was as happy as a fool. If he knew that it was the Pingjin Marquisate and the Wenren family who killed her, he is a prince after all. What kind of man is he if he does nothing and swallows his anger
Li Ruoshui was thinking about how to accomplish her goal. After all, now that she was married into the Marquis of Pingjin's mansion, it might not be easy for her to go out, and she only had a few close confidants around her.
Wen Renying held Xiaocao's arm and said, "Fourth sister, looking at her reaction, could it be that she is really pregnant?"
"Who knows?" Since he was not her own patient, Xiaocao naturally wouldn't bother to pay any attention to him.
"But if she really gets pregnant, will she know and feel it?"
"Usually, there will be some. The most obvious thing is that the period has not come. Of course, this presupposes that the body is healthy and the period is regular, neither early nor delayed. Li Ruoshui's physical condition looks good from the outside. Even if there are some deviations in the period, they should not be big." The pregnancy period in the previous life was calculated from the last menstrual period. If Li Ruoshui was really pregnant with Hua Bochen's child, then the time of pregnancy would be very clear. As long as there was no problem with Li Ruoshui's body, according to the calculations of the previous life, it should be around six weeks. The mother's body usually has some abnormalities.
"So, she is very clear about her situation. Probably really clear."
"Don't worry about her. Just tell Madam Pingjin Hou what I told you. I know you are angry with Li Ruoshui. We are all angry with her. But, just vent your anger. Don't get involved with that kind of person. You will only get yourself stained."
Wen Renying turned her head to look at her sister, "Fourth sister really seems to hate Li Ruoshui, much more than anyone else."
Xiaocao didn't comment. After all, she had shown it very clearly and had never tried to hide it. It was hard to say why.
Since Xiaocao didn't say anything, Wen Renying, being a considerate sister, didn't ask any further questions. She just assumed that Li Ruoshui was born to be disliked by her fourth sister. There were people like this, so it was nothing strange.
The banquet is going on in full swing at this moment. Even though the bride is criticized, it does not prevent everyone from using the banquet to bond with each other. After all, this is the true meaning of most banquets.
Wen Renying found the maidservant of Marquis Pingjin's wife and called her out.
When Lady Pingjin Hou saw Wenrenying, she smiled unconsciously, "Ying'er, you've worked hard today."
"Nothing. I just chatted with the girls from different families. To be honest, it was my stepmother who gave me the opportunity to make friends with them." Wen Renying was not an ungrateful person even though she had received the benefit.
The wife of Pingjin Marquis reached out and touched her temples, "Since I have adopted you as my adopted daughter, all these are naturally yours."
Wen Renying hugged the arm of Lady Pingjin Hou and acted coquettishly. She was the best at this.
The wife of Marquis Pingjin really wanted a daughter, and so she immediately became soft-hearted.
"Has Ying'er been to the new house?"
"Yes, but my sister-in-law is not happy to let Fourth Sister take her pulse."
The wife of Pingjin Marquis sneered, "Don't bother with this ungrateful person."
"But stepmother, what if she's pregnant? There have been a lot of problems today, and my fourth sister also said..."
The wife of Pingjinhou looked stern and said, "Good boy, don't worry about this."
