The east courtyard was quickly cleared out, but Jiang Zhe restrained Sannu and refused to let her move out.
He went to the military camp to handle official duties during the day and came back at night. The two of them lived in the outer courtyard, and he never even set foot in the inner courtyard.
Although they were in the same mansion, Aunt Zhao was stunned that she hadn't seen Jiang Zhe in half a month.
"Crack!"
There was nourishing soup and porridge on the table. The green vegetables were stir-fried with a little oil to maintain their original flavor. The meat was fish and shrimp that were rare in winter. The doctor said that this kind of fish meat was good for the fetus, so Jiang Zhe sent people to dig it out in the river.
Bing, regardless of the cold weather, caught the fish.
The fish in winter tastes very fresh, but Aunt Zhao can't eat a bite.
This was specially prepared by Jiang Zhe for Sannu's taste. She was just taking advantage of it. Once upon a time, her status in this house had become like this.
It was not that Aunt Zhao had not heard the sarcasm of the maids and women. They laughed at her for having only one child, Jiang Ru, after more than ten years of marriage, but she still wanted to dominate Jiang Zhe. A new lady suddenly came to the house, and she was extremely favored by the general.
, I can't wait to feel the pain in my heart, not to mention that she is still pregnant with the general's child. If she gives birth to a son, he will be the next young master of the general's mansion.
Everyone felt like they were in the clear mirror. Aunt Zhao lost her favor and even caused trouble for her daughter and threw her out. There would be no way out from now on. Sooner or later, the General's Mansion would belong to the new wife.
Sang Nu was favored, and the servants in the palace also respected her, so they naturally treated Aunt Zhao harshly.
Aunt Zhao had never experienced such grievances. After half a month of enduring it, she had reached her limit and was unwilling to endure it anymore.
"Mommy, how's it going with Ru'er?"
She sent clothes and food several times, but Jiang Ru refused them all. Aunt Zhao felt angry and hurt. If Jiang Ru had been more obedient, they and their daughter would not be in the situation they are today.
"The lady still refuses to accept it, but the old slave asked the maid to go in and have a look. Xiao Tao said that the lady is doing well in the temple. Except for the lack of food, she has not been wronged in other ways."
"Um."
Aunt Zhao pressed her brows. Huquan Temple was naturally not as good as the palace. It would be great if she could really get her temper back. When the time comes, she would marry an in-law with a prominent family background. With this kind of relationship, Jiang Zhe would be able to look up to her.
.
Aunt Zhao has no natal family of her own, and now she is interested in Jiang Ru's mother-in-law's family. She wants to bring down Sang Nu, but she can't do it on her own.
"Take all these dishes away and ask the kitchen to send a mutton pot."
It was cold in the border area, so she liked to eat this kind of warm food, but Sannu was pregnant and felt like vomiting when she smelled the smell of mutton. Jiang Zhe felt sorry for her and couldn't even have mutton in the house because she couldn't eat it.
Everyone has to accompany me to eat vegetarian food.
Aunt Zhao was also squeamish when she was pregnant with Jiang Ru, but no matter how squeamish she was, she never saw Jiang Zhe doting on her so much. She was so jealous that she threw a set of porcelain and she felt better.
There was no mutton in the kitchen, and my aunt was in a hurry. Chef Liu was so anxious that he reported the matter to Jiang Zhe.
"Auntie, if you want to eat mutton pot, you can make it. Do you need to tell me about such a small thing?"
Jiang Zhe's face was dark. Sang Nu had been suffering from severe morning sickness these days and vomited out everything he had eaten. He looked distressed and his temper could not help but become a little irritable.
Chef Liu broke into a cold sweat, looked at Sannu and lowered his head in a hurry.
"The master said before that he was not allowed to buy strong-flavored meat and vegetables, so he didn't prepare anything in the kitchen. My aunt wants to eat it today... Do you want to buy it, little one?"
Chef Liu asked cautiously. Now there was an uproar in the house that Aunt Zhao had fallen out of favor. They should be fawning over the new lady. But Chef Liu was used to being cautious, so he didn't dare to really offend Aunt Zhao.
Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Who knows one day she will fall in love again.
Sannu, who was eating fish next to her, looked stunned. She put down her chopsticks with a look of guilt on her face.
"It's all my fault. Because of my poor appetite, my sister can't eat. General, please let Chef Liu buy it quickly. My sister is still hungry. I know the pain of hunger best. You can't let it happen."
My sister is just like me..."
Her voice was delicate and soft, her eyes looked at Jiang Zhe, her face was a little pale due to morning sickness, and she looked particularly endearing.
Jiang Zhe removed the fish bone from the corner of her mouth with his fingertips and looked at Chef Liu with a quick look.
"If there is no mutton pot, there are no other dishes. Sannu is picky about food during pregnancy and her health is fine. How can she starve to death if she doesn't eat mutton or fish?"
When she likes someone, no matter how ruthless she is, it's still fun, but if her heart is biased, she is already an eyesore just standing there.
Aunt Zhao is now like rice particles and mosquito blood in Jiang Zhe's eyes. Before she even started to cause trouble, she was labeled as a monster.
When Aunt Zhao heard the scolding coming from the outer courtyard, her eyes turned red with anger.
"Mommy, in his mind, am I that kind of person? If he wants to eat a pot, he will send someone to scold him. If that little bitch wants to eat fish, he will send someone to cut the ice..."
Such a strong contrast made Aunt Zhao heartbroken. That little bitch was just relying on her youth to still be pregnant. If she had nothing else, she would want to see if Jiang Zhe would still pamper her.
When grandma saw that Aunt Zhao was going crazy, she panicked and hurriedly woke her up.
"Master, don't think too much. The general has been distracted by her now, so he ignores you. When he gets tired of it, he will naturally think of the good things that come from the master."
"Tired? When will he get tired of it?"
Aunt Zhao turned her head and asked her, her eyes full of unwillingness.
She didn't want to wait in vain, there were some things she had to fight for, and she couldn't afford to wait at her age.
A murderous intention flashed through Aunt Zhao's heart, and Grandma became even more panicked, fearing that she had done something wrong.
They have already folded in Jiang Ru, Aunt Zhao can no longer be blamed by Jiang Zhe, Sannu is in the limelight, they will only be scarred and ask for trouble if they bump into her.
"Master, you have forgotten that the little bitch was poisoned. Even the doctors said she wouldn't live long. And if the poison is passed on to the child, do you think that scoundrel can survive?"
Mammy didn't want her to take action. If she left any clue, their master would be doomed.
Aunt Zhao also calmed down, "What Mommy said is that I shouldn't involve myself in it. It's just that I don't feel comfortable just waiting. That little bitch is just relying on my husband's favor. I can do it too..."
Her tone became softer as she spoke, but the light in her eyes became brighter and brighter.
It's not that Jiang Zhe doesn't miss her in his heart, they were lingering in bed the day Sannu returned home.
Aunt Zhao secretly pinched her fingertips and drank the herbal tea in her mouth. Aunt Zhao couldn't stop her even if she wanted to.
"Master, why are you bothering me? Your stomach will feel uncomfortable if you drink herbal tea. You haven't eaten much to begin with. What if you get sick again?"
Aunt Zhao curled her lips and smiled, "I just want to feel uncomfortable."
She ate Sannu's maternity meal, but developed a high fever in the middle of the night. Aunt Zhao didn't believe Jiang Zhe didn't care.
