358 Sprinkle Some Soil
“You don’t understand!” Before Mrs. Luo could speak, a woman interrupted her. She didn’t think that there was anything wrong with what Mrs. Luo had just said. Instead, she felt smug from having seen this sort of situation many times already.
Seeing that everyone’s gaze was on her, the woman became even smugger as she continued to explain to them, “In my opinion, the general’s wife is a smart person!
Speaking of which, what is the use of a man’s love?
She doesn’t have any children now. Fortunately, she has the general to dote on her. But what if their love dissipates in a few years? What else will she have?
!!
Now that her husband is famous, there are probably many people coveting him. If she takes advantage of this opportunity to find a concubine for her husband, not only will she be able to gain a good reputation, but she would also be able to control the concubine.
When this child was born in the future, if she raised him as her own, who would dare to say no?
If she still can’t make up her mind now, she will be at a disadvantage in the future!”
With this explanation, everyone understood.
Seeing that they had already explained themselves, Mrs. Luo didn’t say anything else. She only continued to pick up the dustpan and peel her peanut shells. When these people left, she locked the courtyard door, and returned to her room.
“Thank you.” Yin Qiao, who had been staying in the room, bowed to Mrs. Luo politely and said to her with a smile.
Mrs. Luo put down the dustpan in her hand and looked at Yin Qiao uneasily. Although she trusted Lin Suisui and Lu Ze, the development of this matter still made her feel a little uneasy.
“What’s going on?”
Yin Qiao naturally understood Mrs. Luo’s worry, but just as Her Highness had said previously, it wasn’t a good thing for ordinary people like Mrs. Luo to know too much.
Therefore, she only hesitated for a moment before smiling and reassuring Mrs. Luo. “There are some things that I can’t tell you now. However, don’t worry, Your Highness is fine. Moreover, there’s a reason for all this.
If you have nothing to do these few days, just go about your life with your family as usual. However, it’s best to avoid visits.”
Upon hearing Yin Qiao say this, Mrs. Luo knew that there were some things she didn’t know, so she didn’t ask further. She nodded and politely sent Yin Qiang off. When she returned, she hesitated for a moment before saying to Fang Liu, “I keep feeling that things are about to change. I didn’t feel it before, but after interacting with them this afternoon, I really feel that those people are a little strange.
It’s completely different from when we first interacted.”
“Mother, we won’t be able to find out about anything by guessing here, so why don’t we listen to what Yin Qiao said just now and hide at home for the time being?”
Fang Liu looked at Mrs. Luo with a calm smile as she whispered her opinion, “Get Rui’er to go to Madam Liu’s place later. Tell her that I’m not feeling well and see if I can find a doctor.
Rui’er, make a commotion. This way, our family will have a legitimate reason to stay at home and not go out.
Moreover, we will have an excuse to reject those women.”
Fang Liu’s idea was quickly approved by Mrs. Luo, who nodded and didn’t dwell on these messy matters anymore. She continued to make arrangements with Fang Liu and the others. Seeing that it was about time, she pushed Fang Rui’er gently. “Go quickly.”
Fang Rui’er stood up and walked around the room twice. After trying for a while, she couldn’t get herself to cry, so she turned to look at her mother and sister-in-law aggrievedly. After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and reached out to pinch her thigh. It was so painful that she finally cried.
Without hesitation, she turned around and opened the door. As she cried, she ran towards Lin Suisui. Mrs. Luo and Fang Liu, who were originally tense, couldn’t help but laugh at this sight.
Not long after Lin Suisui and Lu Ze returned, Lin Suisui was listening to Yin Qiao talk about the commotion Mrs. Luo had heard when she saw Fang Rui’er rush in with a wail.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Suisui was so shocked that she quickly got someone to help Fang Rui’er in and asked her about her condition.
Fang Rui’er looked up and said aggrievedly, “It hurts. Boohoo, I think I pinched myself too hard!”
Afraid that Lin Suisui would be worried, she told her the results of her discussion with Mrs. Luo. Then, without waiting for Lin Suishou’s response, she continued to mutter, “But I couldn’t cry when I went out, so I had no choice but to pinch myself. It really hurts.”
After Lin Suisui heaved a sigh of relief, she couldn’t help but laugh. As she asked Bai Guo to find the ointment, she pulled Fang Rui’er towards the warm bed. “Don’t cry. Let me take a look at you first.”
“No, no, no. I came over in such a hurry. I can’t delay things.” Although Fang Rui’er’s leg really hurt a little, she knew her priorities. “We have to get the doctor to go over quickly.
If we don’t make a bigger ruckus, it’ll probably be difficult to hide it from those people.”
Lin Suisui nodded and asked Yin Qiao to bring people to Mrs. Luo’s house.
They went back and forth with lanterns a few times until night fell and didn’t stop until the latter half of the night.
The village was very quiet. Other than the family next to Mrs. Luo and the others, no one else stood up to greet them.
It wasn’t until the next morning that the haggard-looking Mrs. Luo came out of the courtyard to buy tofu from Old Madam Song at the village entrance. She was stopped by the women in the village who had also woken up early to ask about the situation.
Unable to hide the disappointment and worry on her face, Mrs. Luo lamented, “It’s all because of my eldest daughter-in-law. I told her before that she had only been on the road for three months, so she shouldn’t move around. However, she refused to listen and insisted on entering the city with us.
Now, she almost had a miscarriage.
Fortunately, with the doctor brought by Madam Liu, they managed to stabilize the pregnancy after prescribing pregnancy-stabilizing medicine.
There’s no telling how much more trouble there will be in the future!
Seriously, if she had listened to me earlier, there wouldn’t have been this trouble. It’s said that people will suffer if they don’t listen to their elders, but what can I do if my eldest son indulges her?”
