Chapter 924

"Alright." Chen nodded.

Because it was cold, Mao Tongtong didn't take Hongwang out again, but let the nanny take him to play in the house.

Mao Chengyun also went out with the mother and son to meet Uncle Chen.

As soon as he left the hospital, he saw Uncle Chen bringing Mrs. Su here.

"Eldest sister!" Uncle Chen said with a smile on his face, "Brother, am I not too late? Today is my eldest sister's birthday, and my younger brother is here to celebrate!"

"No! No!" Chen smiled from ear to ear, "I'm so happy that you can come! I didn't expect that after so many years, you still remember my sister's birthday."

"How could I forget Eldest Sister's birthday!" Uncle Chen said with a smile, "Because of the distance, our siblings rarely saw each other. Now that we are all in the capital, of course I will come."

"Come into the room and talk! It's hard for you in such a cold day." Chen smiled and glanced at Su.

For things like birthday banquets, it is more lively with more people.

Although there were only two more people, the atmosphere suddenly changed.Uncle Chen can chat with Mao Chengyun, and Mrs. Su can also chat with Mrs. Chen about some things about the capital.

Mao Tongtong seldom interrupted at this time, but from Su's words, he could hear a lot of gossip in the capital!
On the surface, this kind of gossip seems to have no meaning, and some even don't know the truth or falsehood, they are just rumors.

But the capital is just that big.Most of the people Su's contacts are also official wives.In this way, gossip goes beyond small talk.Sometimes a casual thing can get unexpected information.This is actually a very important item in Madam's diplomacy.

Mao Tongtong has never liked to participate in these activities, and because she is only a side Fujin, others will not invite her.But Su's is different.Uncle Chen is a fourth-rank official after all, and as a concubine Fujin, she sometimes receives some banquets.This is the best time to listen to gossip.

It's only been a year since Mrs. Chen returned to Beijing, so many relationships are unclear.Listening to Su's gossip can also straighten out some relationships.As an official wife, she naturally has some activities, and this kind of information comes in handy.

"Hey, I heard something last time, that the King of Zhijun has a family outside the mansion!" Su Shi's voice suddenly quieted down, but Chen Shi and Mao Tongtong both heard it.

"How is it possible!" Chen's eyes widened in shock.

Mao Tongtong frowned, how dare the Su family even spread such gossip?You are too brave!The key is how did this word come out?Who is the origin?The majestic king of the county has an outer chamber, it would be a disaster if word of this reached the ears of the emperor!
"I didn't believe it when I heard it at the beginning! Before that, Prince Zhijun was always a role model for doting on Fujin! Da Fujin even gave birth to four daughters in a row, and he didn't dislike him. I don't know how many people say that Prince Zhijun is infatuated!" Su Shi said : "But this time the news has a nose and an eye, it really makes people have to believe it."

"What's going on?" Chen asked.

Mao Tongtong didn't say a word, just listened silently.She also wanted to know the details.

"I heard that it's because Da Fujin couldn't have a son. Zhijun Wang wanted to borrow his stomach. A son will be counted under Da Fujin's name, and it will be called Da Fujin's birth to the outside world." Su Shi said.

"But, it's not that there are no other women in the backyard of Prince Zhijun. If that's the case, it's better to find a low-status man in the mansion to have a baby, and it's the same to record it under the name of Da Fujin!" Chen said.

This was also what Mao Tongtong thought.Neither a concubine nor Gege can raise children by themselves.Whoever gave birth to a son, it is in accordance with the rules to raise him under Da Fujin's lap!Why make an outer room?Once the source of this child is discovered, will the royal family recognize it?This logic cannot be justified!

"Who knows! Maybe I just like this woman, but I just use such an excuse to stabilize Dafujin?" Su guessed: "Or it is convenient for the women outside to go to the mother and keep their children, which saves trouble. The women in the mansion After giving birth to a child, there will always be a chance to see the child in the future, and accidents are easy to happen."

"Aunt, where did you hear these rumors?" Mao Tongtong couldn't help asking.

"I also heard it from others." Su did not specify who it was.

"Brothers and sisters, just listen to this kind of talk, don't say it outside." Chen advised.

"I know. Didn't you just talk about it with Eldest Sister. I don't talk about it outside." Su Shi said resentfully.

"When it comes to the royal family, it's better to be more cautious. If you leave this door today, just forget about it." Chen Shi said
"Understood, I don't want to say anything." Su's face was already a little ugly.She was just chatting, but she was educated by Mrs. Chen.However, Mrs. Chen is already an elder, and today is her birthday. Although Mrs. Su was unhappy, she obediently agreed.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Mao Tongtong changed the subject and asked about the situation of Chen Ruzhu, the Su family.

Sure enough, when this topic was mentioned, Su's expression changed.

"The last time Ruzhu came back, her complexion was much better."

A good mood means that the day is going well.Mao Tongtong smiled and said: "That's good. It seems that the trouble last time was still effective."

"Yeah! It's really bullying! Ruzhu was too weak before. She didn't know how to resist until she was bullied like that. If she had shown her strength a long time ago, she might have children now." Su still said angrily .

Mao Tongtong agrees with this.It is true that good people are deceived by others.It is good for people to have kindness, but it depends on who the kindness is given to.If you are kind to everyone, then you are called the Holy Mother!

"Now it's the end of all hardships, so you should rest assured." Chen said.

"She has no children for a day, and I can't let go of my heart." Su said with a bit of a wry smile: "Although it's not her problem now, outsiders don't know! It's been a long time, and I don't know what's going on What an ugly word! If you tell about my uncle’s illness, Ruzhu will be ashamed as well!”

"Hey." Chen couldn't help but also sighed, with a sympathetic look on his face.

Mao Tongtong also sighed in his heart.This is the tragedy of women in this era.

"Auntie, don't be too pessimistic. Sister Ruzhu is still young, and there is still a chance for the child. Didn't the doctor say that day, it can still be cured."

"That's how I comforted myself." Su smiled and said, "I chant sutras to the Bodhisattva every day, and I hope that Ruzhu's luck will change soon."

Although Mao Tongtong didn't like Su Shi, he also didn't like the thoughts she instilled in her two daughters.But at this time, she also had to admit that Mrs. Su is actually a good mother.It's just that she has been planning for her two daughters in the best way she thinks, but she has ignored the daughters' own needs for life.

Talking, it's time for lunch.Mao Tongtong looked at his favorite dishes on the table, and his nose felt a little sore.He said he was celebrating Chen's birthday, but in the end he was thinking about her!
 Three shifts will resume tomorrow.
