A few days ago, Ms. Ma secretly invited a doctor over. The doctor took Ms. Zhao's pulse and said with certainty that Ms. Zhao's baby would definitely be a boy, which made Ms. Zhao extremely happy.
With a son, he will be able to gain a firm foothold in the Hou Mansion, and Chen Sirui will also have a backer in the future.
Mrs. Zhao couldn't help being happy, and Su Niang became more and more careful with Mrs. Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, not daring to feel sad anymore.
Being sad is not good for the fetus.
Su Niang said again: "Your belly is about to show that you are pregnant. You can't hide it for long."
Mrs. Zhao smiled bitterly, "How long can I hide it? When I was pregnant with Sister Rui, the doctor came to check my pulse again and again, and they all said that the baby was healthy, but in the end..."
Su Niang was shocked, "Are you saying that someone wants to harm you?!"
Zhao didn't comment, and just whispered: "We have to guard against it."
Su Niang nodded solemnly, "That's how it should be."
Su Niang lowered her voice again, "It's just that I should tell the young master."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao rarely turned cold, sighed heavily, and said resentfully: "How could I have the chance to tell him? He was away from home all day long. Even when he came back, he fell asleep, and he and I didn't have a good talk.
It’s over.”
Seeing that Mrs. Zhao was sad again, Su Niang hurriedly advised: "It's a good thing for a man to be busy outside. You can tell the young master the same thing after you finish working for a while. When the time comes, the young master will definitely feel more sorry for you."
Mrs. Zhao hummed in a complicated mood.

Chen Wen was currently in the house outside.
When he was young, he wanted to marry a woman from a scholarly family and chat with her about the past and present.
When he was writing, she would add fragrance to his red sleeves.
But the marriage contract has never been decided by him.
It was Marquis Dingbei and Mrs. Chen who made the decision for him to marry the Zhao family.
Zhao has never read a book and only knows a few words.
Chen Wen once tried to teach Ms. Zhao how to read, but Ms. Zhao said that it is virtue for a woman not to have talent.
Chen Wen had no choice but to give up.
Fortunately, Mrs. Zhao was gentle and carefree, so Chen Wen was content.
But when he met Cheng Yushu, Chen Wen suddenly realized that what he had dreamed of was a woman like Cheng Yushu.
Cheng Yushu also had Zhao's gentleness and was able to talk with him about the past and present.
Cheng Yushu leaned in Chen Wen's arms and said softly: "You haven't been back for a long time. Someone in the Hou Mansion will definitely be suspicious."
"Don't be afraid, I hide it well." Chen Wen said confidently.
Because he was just like a transparent person in the Hou Mansion. Who would care where he went and whether he returned to the Hou Mansion?
Only Zhao would care.
But Zhao is a conservative person and believes that men are gods. No matter what he says, Zhao will believe it.
Chen Wen thought proudly.
Cheng Yushu just mentioned it casually, she didn't care if Chen Wen went back or not.
She has no feelings for Chen Wen, she is just a tool that can be used.
Therefore, she is extremely selfish and calm.
Cheng Yushu's hand drew circles on Chen Wen's chest and said, "I went to see Mrs. Rong a few days ago."
Chen Wen was stunned for a moment.
This Madam Rong was Prince Gong's outsider. She helped Prince Gong do some shameful things in private, and she was highly trusted by Prince Gong.
Mrs. Rong never shied away from her relationship with Prince Gong when she was away from home. Gradually everyone in the capital knew about Mrs. Rong.
Because of this, Mrs. Rong restrained herself a lot.
But even so, she couldn't enter Prince Gong's palace.
When the officials heard about this, they just laughed it off.
Now that Prince Gong is the most favored son of the Holy Emperor, who would not think of going against him?
Moreover, who among the men in the world does not have a wife? If we really want to investigate, almost half of the dignitaries in the capital will be impeached.
Chen Wen had heard more or less about Mrs. Rong.
His smile faded a little and asked: "How do you know Mrs. Rong?"
"It's just a coincidence," Cheng Yushu raised his head and said with great interest, "This Mrs. Rong is a very kind person and a very good talker. I am of low status, and she has never looked down upon me."
Chen Wen recalled Dingbei Hou's teachings and forced a smile, "But she is Prince Gong's person after all. You should not go see her in the future. If you feel bored, it is good to chat with the neighbors."
Cheng Yushu was a little annoyed, "Wen Lang! Do you want to remain unknown like this for the rest of your life?"
Chen Wen pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.
Cheng Yushu continued to persuade: "Mrs. Rong and I promise that we can introduce you to Prince Gong."
Chen Wen quickly shook his head, "No, no, no, I don't have any ambitions. Please give up this idea."
Cheng Yushu sighed and leaned back against Chen Wen.
But this idea has been lingering in her mind, and she will not give up.
Later, she slowly persuaded Chen Wen to be loyal to Prince Gong.
After Prince Gong ascends to the throne, Chen Wen will be the hero of Conglong!
When the time comes, who will be the Marquis of Dingbeihou Mansion?
Cheng Yushu's eyes shone with shrewdness.

Chen Wen was at Cheng Yushu's place and left with satisfaction.
It was rare for him to come back early today. He didn't get along well with Zhao and Chen Sirui for a long time, and he felt very sorry.
But just after walking through the garden, I heard a noise not far away.
He looked in that direction, which was Chen Xin's yard.
Chen Xin and He had always been like this. As soon as they met, they started to compete with each other about whose voice was louder.
These two people are both willing to take the soft side rather than the hard side. The worse the other's attitude is, the more they have to compete for superiority.
He comes from a scholarly family, and every word he curses is more and more sharp.
Chen Wen secretly rejoiced that Cheng Yushu was gentle and sensible, much better than He.
Suddenly, He's sharp voice stopped.
Chen Wen was startled, feeling that something had happened, and he quickly walked over.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw it was in a mess.
Chen Xin stood with a pale face, a trace of astonishment flashing across his face.
Chen Wen walked over and asked, "Third brother, what happened?"
Chen Xin said nothing. Chen Wen followed his line of sight and immediately saw Fu Zhao and He, who were surrounded by servants.
He was lying in Fu Zhao's arms, his eyes closed, and he had obviously fainted.
If it weren't for Fu Zhao's support, He might have fallen to the ground.
Fu Zhao looked through the crowd at Chen Xin, and then at Ye Xiang who was standing behind Chen Xin.
Ye Xiang didn't feel guilty at all for making He mad because of herself.
A hint of joy appeared on Ye Xiang's face. It would be great if He could be angered to death.
Fu Zhao withdrew his gaze and handed He over to the servant girl.
Just now she heard that the He family was really noisy, so she had to come over and take a look.
Unexpectedly, I happened to see the scene where Mr. He fainted without even lifting it up.
Fu Zhao looked at Ye Xiang again, but he didn't expect Ye Xiang to have such ability.
