from widow to dame

Chapter 124

How Yan Hongzhen apologized, begged for mercy, and said endless good things, let’s not talk about it for now, you just need to know that Su Huiniang forgave him in the end, there is only one thing, Su Huiniang wants Yan Hongzhen to promise that he will never To do such a thing again, although the latter hesitated, he finally agreed.

The matter of "contraception" came to an end for the time being, and peace was restored in the family.

Sister Yuan was even more delighted to see her parents reconciled, she put her arms around Su Huiniang's neck like a baby.

"On weekdays, I always fight with your father, but when it comes to the real chapter, I still turn to him." Su Huiniang nodded her little head, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "You, you!"

Sister Yuan stuck out her tongue and sighed pretendingly: "Oh! Who told him to be my real father!"

After all, Su Huiniang was still afraid that the medicine that Yan Hongzhen secretly gave herself would affect her body, so she specially found a doctor who is proficient in medical treatment, and made a careful examination. After the room, she should be pregnant soon. After hearing this, Su Huiniang was overjoyed and kept thinking about her life.It's not that she is too anxious, it's because of her age. After doing the math, she is already over 30 years old this year, and she is considered an older woman.

However, what is extremely disappointing is that in the next two years, no matter how hard Su Huiniang tried and how anxious she was, her stomach still didn't move at all, and Yan Hongzhen also said that he really didn't do anything in it, helpless Now, she had no choice but to give up her heart, maybe it was her fate that she would not have a son.

"I'm really sorry." Every time she saw Yan Hongzhen's face, Su Huiniang's heart would feel deep guilt.

Unlike his wife, Yan Hongzhen seems to be completely indifferent to the matter of having a son, and even suppressed his own happiness, and pretended to comfort him: "Sometimes there must be something in life, and there is always time in life, don't force it. There is already a sister Yuan, enough!"

This is the only way to go, Su Huiniang thought, as for the idea of ​​giving her husband a concubine, she never even thought about it, this is also a kind of selfishness, Su Huiniang sighed softly.

Two years is enough time for Sister Yuan to mature a lot from a green girl. She doesn't always enter the palace anymore. After all, the princesses are getting older, and it's no longer the time to need playmates. Although her daughter Su Huiniang dotes on her, she will never hold back when it is time for strict discipline. Therefore, the current sister Yuan looks like a lady whether she is sitting, standing or walking (on the surface). But the wives of all the rich and powerful families in the capital know that Wu Jinbo's family has a daughter who is as beautiful as a flower, has a cheerful and generous temperament, and all kinds of vague inquiries follow. what?

In this era, marrying a daughter is also an extremely profound knowledge. A son-in-law cannot be found just by looking for it. It must go through a long period of inquiry and observation.The other party's family background, their own character, whether they are motivated?Do you have any unknown "hobbies?" Lin Lin always didn't have four or five years to see anything at all, so he complained with his years of casting nets and fishing frequently. Su Huiniang has also frequently participated in various noble ladies' meetings for more than half a year. In the exchange meeting between them, there was a bit of receipt.My daughter knows that Sister Yuan looks well-behaved now, but she is actually as stubborn and fierce as her father, so it is best to find someone who is gentle, kind, and able to stand her daughter's "bullying".

"Ma'am, we're here." The boy's respectful voice came from outside the carriage.

Su Huiniang immediately stopped the thoughts in her head, and walked out of the carriage under Fang'er's service.

"Uncle Wu Jin, you are here, our old lady is looking forward to you!" A mother in a red satin shirt with a silver hairpin pinned to her hair forced a smile and said with a slight worry between her brows .

Su Huiniang nodded and walked towards the courtyard with her. While walking, she asked softly, "How's the disease of the godmother?"

The mother sighed in a low voice: "The old lady has been getting worse since last year."

Su Huiniang also had a slight look of sorrow on her face when she heard the words, and while they were talking, the two entered the inner room. At this time, there were already many people standing in the room, and Su Huiniang first saw Chen standing on the head of the bed. Yu, who is already middle-aged, still looks as gentle and elegant as before. Su Huiniang smiled at him, and Chen Yu also returned a slightly bitter smile.Standing beside Chen Yu was his wife Lin Xiuzhu. At this time, she had long since lost the vivacity of her early years. She was lifeless and looked very old. Behind them were two The young man at the age of Buddha is actually Chen Yu's two sons, Chen Rong and Chen Shou. Both of them were born to the concubine Wen Wen's family. Because Lin Xiuzhu has no children, he has been raised as a legitimate son in the mansion.

"Huiniang is here!" Mrs. Chen, who was leaning on the purple lotus embroidered pillow, saw Su Huiniang coming, she couldn't help waving to her, and said with a light smile.

Su Huiniang hurried up and held her hands: "Yes! Huiniang is here, godmother, how are you doing?"

"I'm sick, don't get in the way!" Mrs. Chen smiled, and then looked around with some reproach: "It's just Shen Ke, Yu'er and the others are making too much fuss!"

"Your body is important, don't be sloppy." Su Huiniang carefully sized Mrs. Chen twice, only to see her face was dull and sickly, and she was weak even when she spoke, knowing that she was indeed seriously ill this time.

"My godmother should have told me earlier." She felt uncomfortable in her heart, and when she said it, she brought some complaints.

"Good boy, Godmother is fine!" Mrs. Chen patted her hand.

Seeing the mother and daughter talking heart-to-heart here, and Lin Xiuzhu clutching the embroidered handkerchief in her hand where no one could see, she felt resentment in her heart, and hated her mother-in-law for being unfair to her. She's just a goddaughter, but Mrs. Chen treats her so well. In comparison, her own daughter-in-law just raises her eyebrows and eyes, which is really unfair.Second hate, Su Huiniang, she didn't know why her husband didn't like her, but last year, she knew...so she hated her even more.

"Yu'er, Brother Rong, Brother Shou, you go back first, you don't need to stay here!" Mrs. Chen said to her children and grandchildren weakly.

But she didn't look like Lin Xiuzhu beside her at all.

Chen Yu was a dutiful son, so he led the children back out when he heard the words, but Lin Xiuzhu had a blank face, silently like a ghost.

When there were only the two of them left in the room, Su Huiniang knew that Mrs. Chen had something to tell her.However, what people didn't expect was that what she said was related to Sister Yuan.

"...You, you want to..." Su Huiniang blinked in surprise,

Mrs. Chen nodded, and said in a guilty tone: "The godmother knows that this request is presumptuous, but my body...so..."

She hesitated a bit, but it didn't prevent Su Huiniang from comprehending the meaning.

Mrs. Chen wants to get married to her own family, so she asks for Brother Rong to marry Sister Yuan.

In fact, it is very inappropriate to talk directly about the marriage of children face to face, but because the two families have an unusual relationship, and there are only two of them nearby, no matter whether they succeed or not, they will not spread the word, so they can be open and honest. talk about it once.

Su Huiniang's mind was full of thoughts, she knew Brother Rong's character very well, the boy followed his father, he was a gentle boy, he was very dutiful, he never showed any disrespect.Although he's just a bastard, but looking at the current situation in Uncle Weiwu's mansion, I'm afraid that the future title will still fall on his head.He is a good person, and his family background is also good. The two families know each other well and have a deep relationship, but there is only one thing that is very bad, that is, he has a aunt, and this aunt is not easy to get along with.

It is so easy for a mother-in-law to embarrass her daughter-in-law.

Seeing Su Huiniang frowning, with a tangled and hesitant look on her face, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but look forward to it.Her own body knew that she might not have a few days to live, so she thought about finalizing the marriage of her eldest grandson before she died.Sister Yuan is definitely the best candidate among them. She looks good and has a good personality. The most important thing is to have a powerful father. If there are any twists and turns in the future, relying on this relationship, she can also Guarantee the safety and prosperity of the mighty uncle's mansion.

"Mother, let me think about it carefully." Su Huiniang really couldn't say decisive words to the seriously ill old man, so she just said: "After we go back, we have to discuss this matter with our master."

"Okay, okay!" Mrs. Chen was really overjoyed when she heard that.Holding Su Huiniang's hand tightly, she said excitedly, "It's good that you are willing to think about it. I'm really afraid that you will reject me!"

Su Huiniang smiled slightly.

The two talked for a while, Mrs. Chen was weak after all, and she couldn't hold on after a while.

Su Huiniang helped her take the medicine, and then she was able to go out.

Then, unexpectedly, she saw Lin Xiuzhu. She stood there and looked at her blankly. Su Huiniang was surprised, but she walked over calmly.

Lin Xiuzhu raised her hand and handed her a box, and said with a half-smile, "Sister Hui Niang, this is what you left behind."

Su Huiniang frowned and took it.

Lin Xiuzhu didn't even look at her, she just turned her head and left.

Sitting on the carriage back home, Su Huiniang opened the box.

Inside the box was a handkerchief.

Plain white, with light yellow embroidery, a simple handkerchief.

Su Huiniang didn't know why Lin Xiuzhu gave her a handkerchief.
