Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 103 Looking for a good son-in-law
Once he got the handle of Lin Ruyi stealing banned drugs, Huo Mingzhu didn't rush to send Lin Ruyi to see the official.Mrs. Tangtang asked for the secret medicine because of her infertility. While causing ridicule, she might also get some sympathy. This did not achieve the effect Huo Mingzhu expected. How could she let Lin Ruyi gain the upper hand in public opinion?
Therefore, she stood still and did not expose Lin Ruyi's secret.

However, not being exposed doesn't mean she won't take action. During dinner, she observed Lin Ruyi's expression and reaction, trying to judge from clues whether Lin Ruyi was pretending.

However, Huo Mingzhu had never been a wife or a mother in all of her past and present lives, but Lin Ruyi was just the opposite. She had childbearing experience, and compared to Huo Mingzhu, she already took too much advantage.Lin Ruyi was able to perform all kinds of pregnancy events so realistically that everyone couldn't tell whether they were there or not. At least, it was difficult for Huo Mingzhu to tell.

The difference in experience cannot be made up by rebirth once, and Huo Mingzhu naturally understands this truth.

During two or three days of unannounced visits, Huo Mingzhu discovered that every day there were maids making decoctions for Lin Ruyi, but she wasn't sure what was in the decoctions, was it for anti-pregnancy or for giving birth?
However, Huo Mingzhu was also surprised that if Lin Ruyi had never been pregnant, even if Huo Zhengde didn't know it at first, Huo Zhengde wouldn't have noticed when Lin Ruyi wanted to have a child and focused on sex?Could it be that Huo Zhengde really fell in love with Lin Ruyi and became so obsessed that he did not hesitate to lie about her to his mother?

All kinds of contradictions made Lin Ruyi's stomach more suspicious.

Ever since Yu Tong nearly died when he fell into the water, although Yu Tong lived in the General's Mansion, he only had close contacts with Huo Mingzhu. Both of them were daughters of the boudoir, and it didn't matter if they had nothing to do to study or play chess together. Huo Mingzhu always accompanied Yu Tong patiently.

On this day, Huo Mingzhu was playing chess with Yu Tong in the pavilion by the lotus pond, and Lin Ruyi walked over from a distance with Huo Huaiyu's support.

The reason why Huo Mingzhu chose to play chess in this pavilion by the lake is not accidental, Lin Ruyi's secret is buried in the hibiscus bushes beside her, she can watch it from a close distance without making any changes, but she doesn't know how Lin Ruyi feels, Do you feel guilty?
Sure enough, before the game of chess was over, Lin Ruyi's mother and daughter walked towards this side unexpectedly.

Huo Mingzhu acted as if she had never seen them before, she looked away and focused on playing chess with Yu Tong.As soon as the sunspot in his hand settled down, Huo Huaiyu's voice sounded beside him: "Hey, sister is playing chess with my cousin? Is there a winner?"

Ever since Lin Ruyi was diagnosed as pregnant, Huo Huaiyu had saved a lot of time to be with Lin Ruyi. The mother and daughter were almost inseparable, and had no time to care about Huo Mingzhu.

Hearing Huo Huaiyu's voice, Yu Tong looked back and saw that Lin Ruyi was also there, and hurriedly got up to greet her: "Biao sister-in-law..."

Huo Mingzhu also stood up with Lin Ruyi, and obediently went to help Lin Ruyi: "Mother, why did you come out? Are you in good health?"

Lin Ruyi supported her waist with one hand, she didn't seem to feel very comfortable, and with Huo Mingzhu and Huo Huaiyu's support, she sat down on the stone bench in the gazebo, sighed and complained: "I'm not young anymore, and I'm pregnant again. It's really too much to bear, I thought my body and bones were as comfortable as when I was a young girl, your father also said that it is really not easy to bear children for him, you should thank me tomorrow."

The old Marquis Pingyang who made great contributions to the Great Yong State back then was born as a military general. I have never heard of any of his descendants who are really powerless.Even Lin Ruyi, a rich lady, shouldn't be like this.

Then, to whom Lin Ruyi said these words, Huo Ming naturally knows well.She glanced at Yu Tong quietly, seeing that Yu Tong was also looking at her, her face was a little embarrassed.

Huo Mingzhu was the middleman, so she naturally wanted to smooth things over, and hurriedly said: "Mother has worked hard, and she will suffer for a while."

Lin Ruyi smiled: "You girls haven't left the cabinet yet, so you don't understand these things. When you are all mothers and have children, you will understand that worrying about the girls here is endless. The waves rise again."

If outsiders heard it, they would think that Lin Ruyi was amiable, but to Huo Mingzhu's ears, it was not so pleasant.Lin Ruyi naturally regarded herself as the mother of Huo Mingzhu and Huo Huaiyu, and told Yu Tong her position in the general's mansion.

But Huo Mingzhu's mother was always a hurdle she couldn't overcome. What kind of virtue and ability did Lin Ruyi have, what qualifications did she have to judge the heart of being a parent?All she was worried about was for Huo Huaiyu, so why bother to tell all kinds of things in a high-sounding manner to put gold on her own face?

Huo Mingzhu couldn't help but waste some more words, praising Lin Ruyi's virtuousness and kindness.

Lin Ruyi came prepared this time, and her target was Yu Tong.

I saw Lin Ruyi beckoning Yu Tong to sit down, holding Yu Tong's hand very kindly and smiling, "Cousin Tong'er, the old lady asked me to find a good husband for you. I have tried my best these days. I will meet you tomorrow The nephew of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials came to visit the general's mansion, so you will meet him?"

It turned out that Lin Ruyi came here to marry Yu Tong.
