Everything was calm and peaceful in Dong Ning Bo's Mansion.
Because Aunt Zhao was pregnant, everyone in the house was extremely cautious and took care of everything thoughtfully, for fear of shocking Aunt Zhao's fetus.
At that time, everyone valued heirs, but Shen Yanning did not have many heirs, and only the eldest son Shen Qing was the only one. Even the old lady rewarded Aunt Zhao with many things after she heard that she was pregnant.
Now, everyone in the house has their eyes fixed on Aunt Zhao, or in other words, the child in her belly.
During the family banquet, everyone was in the courtyard of Ninghe Hall.
The old lady looked at Aunt Zhao and asked with great concern: "It's been three months now, right?"
Aunt Zhao's face turned crimson and she nodded: "Yes, thank you for your concern, Madam."
Shen Yanning looked at Aunt Zhao and felt very satisfied.
Because Aunt Zhao was pregnant, she sat under Shen Yanning, while Aunt Yun could only stand aside and spread the dishes. She raised her eyes and glanced at Aunt Zhao, then lowered her head again. She looked docile and respectful. If you didn't look at her carefully, , as if she had quietly disappeared into the crowd.
The old lady smiled happily, then turned to look at Aunt Yun, and said: "Your time in the house is not short, you should spend more time with the master, and you can also spread the branches and leaves of the Shen family."
Aunt Yun whispered: "Yes."
"Don't worry, old lady, my daughter-in-law will definitely take good care of Aunt Zhao's pregnancy." The eldest lady smiled gently on her face, and her eyes swept over Aunt Zhao's belly. Although she was smiling, she had a hidden feeling. As cold as a knife.
Shen Yulou also laughed: "I'm looking forward to it too, but I don't know if my aunt will give birth to a brother or a sister."
Shen Fengxu just sat aside and said nothing.
It doesn't matter whether the baby in Aunt Zhao's belly is a boy or a girl. What matters is whether the child can be born smoothly.
Come to think of it, it shouldn't be possible.
"Speaking of which, I heard that Sixth Sister seemed to have given a message to Aunt Zhao." Shen Yulou said, then turned to look at Shen Fengxu with a gentle smile, "I wonder if this is true?"
Having said this, everyone else's eyes couldn't help but fall on Shen Fengxu.
Everyone in the house had heard about it more or less. Everyone else had given gifts such as jewelry and necklaces, but Shen Fengxu only sent a piece of calligraphy, and the gift was very casual and perfunctory.
Even if Aunt Zhao is not a master herself, she is still a little rude.
Chen Fengxu just smiled faintly when he heard this and said: "I heard that Aunt Zhao liked these, so I gave them to them. It doesn't matter whether the gift is valuable or not. As long as Aunt Zhao likes it, it is the best. Sister, do you think so?"
Aunt Zhao had a strange look on her face.
She had never liked these things, but since Shen Fengxu said so, she could only acquiesce. If she flattered Miss Six in front of others, it would inevitably leave a bad impression on others, especially the old lady. Also here.
Even if she is favored now, she is just a concubine.
In a family like Dong Ning Bo Mansion, there is absolutely no chance that there will be chaos between the elders and the younger.
"Is that natural, or is Sixth Sister considerate and delicate? Yulou is ashamed of herself." Shen Yulou just smiled and stopped asking.
After some small talk, the old lady felt a little tired and left first.
Everyone dispersed one after another.
Shen Fengxu also stood up and left, but when he came out of Ninghe Hall, he saw Aunt Zhao and Shen Yumin standing together.
Shen Yumin just lowered her head and stood there alone, wearing plain clothes, which formed a sharp contrast with the delicate and beautiful Aunt Zhao.
There was a maid next to Aunt Zhao who was shaking a fan for her, and the breeze blew through the broken hair on her forehead. The bright moonlight fell, making her skin white as white as cream, but at this moment, the look on her face was slightly This beauty was broken.
"Why don't Miss Seventh stay in your Xiangmei Courtyard? Why are you running around when you have nothing to do? It doesn't matter if you bump into me. If you bump into the old lady, the old lady will be so angry that she has to deal with Aunt Su as well!" Aunt Zhao! What he said was quite harsh, and his eyebrows were filled with disdain.
"I'm sorry..." Shen Yumin said timidly, "Min'er didn't mean it."
Aunt Zhao naturally looked down on Shen Yumin.
Shen Yumin's biological mother is just the aunt of the second wife. In addition, Shen Yumin has been hated by the family since birth. In the past, she was just that. But now that she is pregnant with the child, no one in the family is respectful to her when they see her? What's more, she is pregnant with a child. Shen Yumin, a concubine who has no place on the stage.
"Seventh girl, don't run to Ninghe Hall. The second master may not be willing to see you. It's better to stay in Xiangmei Courtyard honestly, so as not to upset the second master!"
As soon as Aunt Zhao finished speaking, Shen Fengxu walked out from the side.
"What? My aunt cares about my second uncle very much! She even knows exactly what he thinks!"
One sentence made Aunt Zhao break into a cold sweat.
Don’t say this nonsense!
She hurriedly turned around and looked with a smile on her face: "It turns out to be Miss Six. I am also doing my best for Miss Seven. Miss Six, please don't get me wrong."
As soon as Shen Yumin saw Shen Fengxu, she was about to step forward and pull Shen Fengxu's sleeves, but Shen Fengxu took Shen Yumin's hand one step ahead. Her expression was cold and her eyes fell on Aunt Zhao: "Auntie, are you there?" With such kindness, Feng Xu should tell his father that he will love my aunt even more after he hears about it."
Aunt Zhao's expression changed: "Miss Sixth..."
For more than a month, Shen Yanning's treatment of her had really made her forget herself. After all, she was pregnant with Shen Yanning's child.
"If my aunt doesn't want my father to know about this, she should go back and rest early." Chen Fengxu smiled faintly, "My aunt is pregnant now, so she shouldn't cause too many troubles, right?"
Aunt Zhao didn't originally want to argue with Shen Yumin, but these days were a bit erratic. Now that Shen Fengxu was reminded, she felt much calmer. After all, no matter how favored she was, she was still just a concubine.
So Aunt Zhao bowed: "Yes, I will retire."
Shen Fengxu then turned to look at Shen Yumin.
Because Shen Yumin was still young and had not been favored by the old lady before, she usually did not participate in such occasions. Shen Fengxu was a little surprised to appear outside Ninghe Hall at this time.
Shen Fengxu stepped forward and pulled Shen Yumin over, asking: "It's so hot, why don't you stay in the yard? You sneaked out by yourself, does the nanny know?"
Shen Yumin raised her head and looked at Shen Fengxu, her eyes clear and transparent: "Min'er misses Sixth Sister."
It was midsummer and the weather was hot. Shen Fengxu had been staying in Rongxue Courtyard. He didn't like to go out. At most, he went to Yunsong Courtyard to greet the old lady. Shen Yumin hadn't been seen for a while.
Shen Fengxu touched Shen Yumin's head and said, "Sixth Sister, please take you back."
