Hearing this, Shen Yunhui came up and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you say anything?"
"I don't feel any discomfort, I just feel a little sweaty. Isn't sweating normal during confinement on such a hot day?"
Qiu Lan bravely said: "My aunt hasn't eaten much in the past two days, and her appetite is very bad."
"Call Dr. Zhang to come and take a look at you." Shen Zhonglei comforted him, "I've already lost a lot of money during pregnancy, so I have to do a good job in confinement.
"Just tell the kitchen to prepare whatever you want to eat, don't worry.
"In order to make the decision for you, the old lady came to Master Huang to talk about this matter.
"Master Huang was so angry that he asked Mrs. Huang to come and apologize to you.
"I thought that you had just given birth to a baby and how could you have the energy to meet those messy people, so I declined for you."
Shen Zhonglei once again brought up the matter of Mrs. Huang.
Only then did Ping Niang react and said: "Thank you to the old lady and the master for taking the decision for me. I originally thought that Mr. Huang would help me a lot, so I didn't want to say anything for fear of embarrassing the master. I didn't expect that it would end up like this. I hope Huang Master will not get into trouble with me over this matter."
"It's okay. Master Huang is a very serious person. Instead of interceding for his sister, he sent his sister and brother-in-law directly back to his hometown. You can rest assured."
Although Shen Zhonglei said so, in fact, it was Mrs. Huang who was unwilling to come and apologize to Ping Niang.
But after Master Huang heard that Ping Niang had given birth to a son, he went to Shen Zhonglei personally to apologize for his sister.
Naturally, Shen Zhonglei would not blame him, and even said a few words of pleading for Mrs. Huang.
However, he also had a good grasp of Master Huang's character and knew that he could not get rid of the dirt in his eyes, so he dared to say this.
Fortunately, everyone is happy with the result. Mr. Huang continues to stay and work, and Mrs. Huang has also been cleared out of the house. After returning to her hometown, there will be no chance to see her again.
After saying a few words, Zhang Muqiu arrived.
When she came to Shen's Mansion, she was already familiar with the family. She bowed to Shen Zhonglei when she entered the house, and then stepped forward to diagnose Ping Niang's pulse.
"My aunt did have some postpartum fever, but it was not serious. She was probably tired from the labor process.
“During childbirth, blood loss damages body fluids, yin and blood are suddenly deficient, and yin does not restrain yang, causing yang to float outside and cause fever. Therefore, the aunt will suffer from shortness of breath, fatigue, spontaneous sweating and other symptoms of qi deficiency.
"But don't worry, Mr. Shen, it's not a big problem. I'll give my aunt a prescription that nourishes blood, nourishes qi, and removes heat. She'll be cured after a few days."
"That's the best. Thanks to Dr. Zhang for your hard work." Since the last trial of Mrs. Tong's case, Shen Zhonglei has been more polite to the people in the medical clinic, obviously for Li Zian's sake.
"Aunt Ping's condition is relatively mild and her symptoms are not obvious. You are really careful to notice that something is wrong."
After hearing this, Ping Niang glanced at Shen Zhonglei shyly, and immediately felt a lot better.
She also knew in her heart that it was impossible to keep a child by her side. If Shen Zhonglei could think highly of her for this in the future, it would not be unacceptable.
After Zhang Muqiu left, Shen Zhonglei still stayed. Shen Tianshu didn't want to be an eyesore here, so he simply took Shen Yunhui to her residence to talk.
Shen Yunhui was also quite excited now. As soon as he entered the house, he sent the maid out to look at the door, then pulled Shen Tianshu and said: "Dad still cares about auntie very much! I told auntie before that dad is not that kind A ruthless person, my aunt was worried about gains and losses at that time, but now that she sees her father caring about her so much, she feels better immediately."
Shen Tianshu frowned slightly when he heard this. Ping Niang was still in confinement at this time. It was normal for her mood to fluctuate and her mind to be unclear. However, Shen Yunhui's thoughts were still so childish and naive. She would not be able to get married in the future. Being eaten alive by your in-laws?
Shen Yunhui frowned when he saw her, and his tone that was so excited just now suddenly dropped.
"Sister, did I say the wrong thing again?"
"The key is not what you said, but what you think." Shen Tianshu sighed in his heart, sat down and said, "Dad is indeed not the kind of lecherous person who spends time and alcohol, but if you just want to rely on him To live a life of grace and care, you might as well think about what life was like before my aunt was pregnant."
There was no need for Shen Yunhui to think about it. The smile on his face disappeared as soon as he mentioned it.
"Now that Ping Niang has given birth to the eldest son of a concubine, it is impossible for him not to renew his marriage due to his age and status.
"When the new lady comes in, what do you think she will think of Ping Niang?"
Shen Yunhui followed Shen Tianshu's words and thought about it. As soon as the new lady came in, there was an aunt in the house who gave birth to a son and a daughter. Especially the son was the eldest son of the concubine. This was not just a thorn in the side of the new lady. , a thorn in the flesh?
The new wife is of the right age, but Ping Niang is already getting old and beautiful. When the time comes, Ping Niang will definitely lose in terms of status and love.
"Even if dad is not in a hurry to get married again, now that Ping's mother has given birth and Hanqiao is gone, there is no guarantee that dad will not have a new aunt by his side.
"There is no mistress in the family, and if a new person is added to the family, what will they think?"
"They... they will think that since my aunt can do it, they can also..." Shen Yunhui said so much that she couldn't help but shiver in the middle of summer.
"So, you should enlighten my aunt more. It is not a bad thing to have the child next to the old lady. At least it can protect the child well.
"So don't mention anything about taking the child back, it will only make the old lady and the father unhappy.
"As for dad's concern, you don't need to take it too seriously. If Ping Niang is smart, it would be proper for her to go to the old lady more often to show her filial piety after confinement.
"In this way, I can please the old lady, and secondly, I can check on the children from time to time.
"If I can go back to my hometown with the old lady then, it would be a good choice."
Ping Niang is getting older, so instead of staying and competing with the new couple, she might as well take care of the old lady, guard her son, and live a stable life of her own.
Shen Yunhui also figured it out at this time and lowered his head in shame.
In fact, Shen Tianshu had told her many things before, but she was still young and still had some innocent thoughts in her heart, so her ideas would go off track from time to time.
At this time, Shen Tianshu gave some advice, and she quickly turned around.
"Yunhui, remember, as a woman, you should never expect to be a loving wife and concubine for the rest of your life relying on a man's favor.
“You must have a clear mind and never let go of what should be in your hands.
"Only what belongs to you is the foundation for your ability to settle down and live your life. Everything else is empty!"
