She has a slender waist and delicate bones, and is able to seduce the ascetic horse.

Chapter 150 Want to live in Pearl Courtyard

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

With just three words, everyone stopped their movements and turned to look at Meng Wan.

Shen Jiaojiao was stunned, her eyes moved slightly downwards, looking at Meng Wan's flat belly.

This child came unexpectedly. Is he really Chen Yuanli's son?
She soon shook her head again, feeling amused by her dark thoughts - Meng Wan was just plotted yesterday, how could she find out she was pregnant so quickly?
I remembered that Chen Yuanli and Meng Wan were tired of being together every day, and they had no serious health problems.

It is normal to be pregnant half a year after getting married.

It should be Chen Yuanli's fault.

"Why are you shaking your head, sister? But you don't welcome my and Yuan Li's child?" Meng Wan stared at her, as if she wanted to make a hole in her.

She curled her lips and smiled, then muttered a few words.

"How could it be? It is a blessing for the Chen family that my sister can spread the branches and leaves of the Chen family."

"I didn't say anything about it." Meng Wan gave her a warning look, fearing that she would bring up the old matter again.

"How can I care so much?! It's obvious that my sister doesn't like me and is deliberately trying to slander me!"

With that said, Meng Wan cast a complaining look at Shen Jiaojiao.

Meng Wan's face fell, "I gave birth to the child, why do I have to call you mother?"

The smile on Shen Jiaojiao's face did not diminish, and she asked pretending to be confused: "What does Wan'er mean by this? Is it because I shouldn't go to Hanlianyuan to look for Yuanli?"

"When did Wan'er see the doctor? Why didn't you tell me yesterday? No wonder you were so angry yesterday and you were so jealous that you hid..."

Chen Yuanli quickly comforted him: "Yes, yes, it's Jiaojiao, isn't it? I'll tell her later. Don't be angry. What will you do if you get so angry?"

"Yes, mother said so too. If it weren't for what my sister did yesterday, I wouldn't have told you in advance..."

Before she could reply, Meng Wan couldn't help shouting.

The man raised his hand and patted Meng Wan's back, coaxing her softly.

As he spoke, he looked at Meng Wan lovingly.

"Yuanli, congratulations on becoming a father. The child will also call me mother by then. I will never treat him badly."

Chen Yuanli was very happy to see his wife and concubines living in harmony, "What Jiaojiao said is that the Chen family does not follow this rule. It was only today that I found out that Wan'er was pregnant."

Seeing that the two of them seemed to be quarreling, Chen Yuanli quickly winked at Shen Jiaojiao, "Wan'er has just become pregnant with a child and is worried about her. Don't argue with her."

"There is a saying that saying something too early will scare the child away, and your mother-in-law will also be worried about your health." Chen Yuanli said.

Seeing the closeness between the two of them, Shen Jiaojiao couldn't help but frown and remained silent.

"I am the mistress." Shen Jiaojiao raised her lips and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, Wan'er, I won't argue with you, and I won't take the child into my lap."

Hearing this, Aunt Zhou turned pale.

After finally using her child to tie Chen Yuanli's heart, Meng Wan didn't want to fail.

Does Chen Yuanli... regret giving her this concubine ceremony?
Meng Wan, who was sitting across from me, blushed and pinched her handkerchief shyly, "My mother didn't let me say it before. She said she had to wait three months for the pregnancy to be stable before she could tell anyone else."

Then, he turned to look at Chen Yuanli, his smile becoming more genuine.

It’s really a rotten pot and a rotten lid, all rolled into one.

No wonder Chen Yuanli forgave Meng Wan easily. He must have thought that Meng Wan was pregnant and could not commit adultery with others, right?
It’s really a waste of time to blind that scholarly head.

As long as you know some of the housewife's methods and read a few story books, you will know that the drama of being framed during pregnancy is the most common.

Fortunately, Chen Yuanli was still a governor and did not help Meng Wan embarrass her, otherwise she would definitely have a good fight with the two.

"Let's eat first, I'm already hungry." Chen Yuanli smoothed things over and turned his pleading eyes to her.

She nodded and agreed, "Let's try the craftsmanship of the small kitchen. I have been eating it for more than ten years and I think it is as good as the big restaurants outside."

"Yes, the cook is very good." Chen Yuanli smiled at her, looked at Meng Wan, pointed to the soup cup in the center and said, "This is your favorite black chicken soup, come and try it." Meng Wan hooked up. He raised his lips and said softly and coquettishly: "Husband, help me."

Chen Yuanli did not shirk, he simply stood up and filled a bowl of soup for the three people present.

Seeing that everyone had a share, Meng Wan's face darkened and she immediately became unhappy.

"Hurry up and drink. This is what Jiaojiao specially ordered the kitchen to cook. She is thinking about your sister in her heart."

Chen Yuanli didn't notice Meng Wan's emotional change, but instead praised Shen Jiaojiao again, hoping to make both sisters see the goodness in each other.

Meng Wan made a serious face and said displeasedly: "I won't drink anymore. It smells so fishy that I feel a little nauseous."

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to drink it, I won't drink it." Chen Yuanli was not angry and comforted her, "Come, try this sweet and sour fish, it is also your favorite."

Hearing this, Meng Wan was so angry that she almost broke the chopsticks in her hand.

Shen Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows and looked over, blinking innocently at Meng Wan.

Meng Wan glared back fiercely, her face looking very ugly.

She doesn't like sweet and sour fish at all, it's Shen Jiaojiao who likes sweet and sour fish!

However, under Chen Yuanli's earnest gaze, Meng Wan still endured his disgust, picked up the fish pieces in the bowl, and swallowed them.

"It's delicious." Meng Wan praised without conscience.

Chen Yuanli nodded happily, but was embarrassed to favor one over the other, so he also placed dishes for the other two women on the table.

Adhering to the etiquette of "eating without talking and sleeping without talking", the four of them did not speak anymore and ate seriously.

Chen Yuanli was the busiest while eating. He was busy serving food to the three women, trying his best not to neglect any of them.

After dinner, the four of them gathered in the main room of Mingzhu Courtyard and talked.

Shen Jiaojiao was obliged to sit at the top, on the left hand side of Chen Yuanli, while Meng Wan had no choice but to sit on the right.

Aunt Zhou sat next to Shen Jiaojiao.

Soon, Chen Yuanli took the lead in opening the topic.

"Jiaojiao, since Wan'er is pregnant, you should pay more attention to her."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded in agreement, "I will."

"Ahem, I just learned today that no servants are willing to go to Hanlianyuan to serve. Can you also allocate some people to Hanlianyuan to serve you like you did to Ayan before?" The man said sincerely.

"No." She refused without thinking.

"Why?" Chen Yuanli asked.

"Yuan Li, I know you feel sorry for Wan'er, and I feel sorry for her too. But at this critical moment, I should stay away from Wan'er."

"Why?" Chen Yuanli asked again.

She sighed and said it bluntly: "If anything happens, this shit basin will be placed on my head..."

The meaning is obvious, she is afraid that Meng Wan will frame her.

Chen Yuanli was a little embarrassed, "How could something happen to Wan'er? But..."

He turned to look at Meng Wan, then looked back at Shen Jiaojiao, feeling that what he said was reasonable.

If something goes wrong and Meng Wan's unborn child is harmed, wouldn't it be worse?
Besides, he felt uncomfortable being sandwiched between the two of them.

Meng Wan had a sullen face and suggested: "Husband, there is no one to take care of you in our courtyard, why not move to the Pearl Courtyard to live with your sister?"

Shen Jiaojiao's mouth twitched.

She refused, so why was this man so eager to have a relationship with her?
