On the day of Mrs. Lu's birthday, it happened to be a sunny day.
Warm sunlight shines through the windows into the house, adding a bit of warmth to this early winter season.
Lu Yuhan heard the maid say that the weather was very good, so she ordered to take out the thinner lake-colored Tuanhua Wenshiyishang brocade cloak.
After the maid brought the cloak, Lu Yuhan looked in the mirror again and felt that the jewelry on her head was missing a bit, so she chose a gold hairpin and put it on.
When she was looking in the mirror to see if the gold hairpin was worn crookedly, Yuan Ziwen walked in from outside.
The relationship between the couple has been very good since they got married.
Yesterday, Yuan Ziwen suffered from a bit of wind and cold. He was afraid that Lu Yuhan would be overtaken by the illness, so he moved to the study to sleep.
When Lu Yuhan saw Yuan Ziwen, she asked him if he was feeling well.
Yuan Ziwen smiled and said: "I drank some ginger soup last night and felt much better after a good sleep."
Lu Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Today is my grandmother's birthday. Do you think I look good dressed up like this?"
Yuan Ziwen looked at his wife carefully and said with gentle eyes: "She's beautiful. My wife is the prettiest."
"Glib tongue." Lu Yuhan scolded her lightly and asked the maids to pass on breakfast so that she could arrive at the Lu family's house early to pay her grandmother's birthday.
The Lu family is a well-known family in the county, and Mr. Lu is good at managing connections. Therefore, on Mrs. Lu's birthday, there was an endless stream of people coming to congratulate her with gifts.
Shen Xiu knew that Lu Yuhan would definitely arrive early, so she delayed it for a while and waited until after Chen hour before going to the Lu family with the congratulatory gift.
She has been to the Lu family several times, and everyone knows her. The housekeeper even specially sent her to the inner courtyard.
"Grandma Qi Gu has been here a long time ago." The housekeeper said, "She is in the old lady's yard now!"
The upper room where Mrs. Lu lived was already full of female relatives who came to wish her birthday.
As the favored granddaughter, Lu Yuhan sat closest to Mrs. Lu. She didn't know what everyone said, but when Shen Xiu came in, she saw Lu Yuhan's face was red.
"Ms. Shen is here." Mrs. Lu saw Shen Xiu and waved her forward, "Why haven't I seen you in these days? Do you think you are tired of this old guy like me?"
Shen Xiu stepped forward with a smile and said, "I would like to say hello to the old lady. I hope she will be as blessed as the East China Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains." After saying that, she explained, "I have been busy with the shop these days, so I can't spare any time."
"I also know that you are busy, and the whole shop depends on you. Just treat it as if you are at home today, and take some time to relax."
After Mrs. Lu finished speaking, she looked at Lu Yuhan aside, "You two haven't seen each other for a long time. I know you have something to say, so there's no need to go outside. Just stay in the Nuan Pavilion at the back!"
When Shen Xiu came in just now, everyone was talking about Lu Yuhan and Yuan Ziwen, the young couple.
That's why Lu Yuhan's face turned red with embarrassment.
Mrs. Lu felt sorry for her granddaughter and didn't want her to be teased anymore, so she wanted to send her away. Shen Xiu happened to arrive, giving Mrs. Lu a chance to speak.
Lu Yuhan was eager to leave here at this moment, so after receiving Mrs. Lu's words, she took Shen Xiu to the Nuan Pavilion at the back.
The Nuange is far away from the hall where guests are entertained, so it is warm and quiet.
The maid next to the old lady thoughtfully brought tea and then quietly retreated.
After Lu Yuhan waited for the maid to leave, she asked Shen Xiudao: "Why don't you come to Yuan's house to see me?"
Shen Xiu felt that it would take a day to hide it.
If she really went to Yuan's house, as long as Yuan Ziwen saw her and called her sister-in-law, then the matter would no longer be hidden.
For this reason, how could Shen Xiu dare to go to the Yuan family's door? Now that Lu Yuhan was complaining, she could only think of an excuse, saying that she was too busy recently.
Lu Yuhan pursed her lips and said, "You know how to use this as a shield. It's useless for me to still think about you."
When Shen Xiu saw that Lu Yuhan's eldest daughter had lost her temper, she hurriedly coaxed her a few words and finally coaxed her to stop caring about the matter.
"I'm going to tell you something, but don't tell anyone else." Lu Yuhan whispered, "I seem to be happy."
"Really or not?" Shen Xiu quickly looked at Lu Yuhan's lower abdomen, "Have you seen a doctor? How many months has it been?"
Lu Yuhan squeezed her hand and said, "Keep your voice down. I haven't told anyone about this yet because I'm not sure yet."
"If you are not sure, you should see a doctor!" Shen Xiu said, somewhat confused.
Lu Yuhan shook her head and said: "You don't know, my situation is a bit complicated. I feel like I'm pregnant, but I had a baby a few days ago."
"My mother-in-law originally thought I was pregnant, but when she found out that I was here to have a baby, she said that I might have missed it."
This situation is indeed a bit complicated.
Shen Xiudao: "What do you think?"
Lu Yuhan touched her belly and said, "I feel that I am indeed pregnant. I have been feeling nauseous and sleepy these past few days. My nanny also said that, excluding Xiaoli, these symptoms of mine are indeed consistent."
"It's just that my mother-in-law categorically said that I'm not pregnant. I don't want to call a doctor, lest I fall into laughter."
Shen Xiudao: "Since you are here now, why don't you ask the old lady to ask a doctor to check your pulse."
Lu Yuhan shook her head and said: "That's even worse. If there is no happy pulse, grandma's joy will be in vain. And today is her birthday, so it would be unlucky to ask a doctor."
This makes sense. It is indeed not a good idea to ask a doctor on your birthday.
Shen Xiu then asked: "Then what are you going to do?"
Lu Yuhan said: "I want to wait a few more days, and when I am more confident, I will go to your shop. Then you can help me hire a doctor, and he will know whether I have a positive pulse."
Shen Xiudao: "This is easy to handle. But since you think you are pregnant, you should be careful in everything."
Lu Yuhan smiled and nodded: "I understand, after all, I have two bodies now."
"Why are you so sure? What if it's not the case?" Shen Xiu asked after seeing how sure she was.
Lu Yuhan said with a smile on her face: "You will know when you get pregnant in the future. Now that you are pregnant, not only do you no longer like the smells you liked before, but you can't even eat the food you like."
She talked to Shen Xiu for a long time about her pregnancy.
Shen Xiu couldn't empathize with this kind of thing and could only rely on imagination.
Fortunately, after a while, Mrs. Lu asked someone to invite them to sit down, so Lu Yuhan said no more.
Regardless of whether Lu Yuhan was pregnant or not, Shen Xiu took good care of her during the banquet.
Lu Yuhan didn't like the smell of fish, so Shen Xiu moved the steamed fish in front of her to her.
After the banquet, Lu Yuhan felt stuffy in the room, a little out of breath, and wanted to go out for a walk.
Shen Xiu asked the maid to bring her a cloak, and after Lu Yuhan put it on, Shen Xiu accompanied her to the garden.
When Lu Yuhan was halfway there, he remembered an old incident and suddenly smiled and said, "Do you still remember what I told you?"
"What's the matter?" Shen Xiu paid attention to his steps and saw unswept stones on the path, so he kicked them aside to prevent Lu Yuhan from tripping.
Lu Yuhan walked slowly while feeling the warm sunshine: "That's my former sweetheart!"
There was a maid following the two of them. Shen Xiu looked back. Fortunately, Lu Yuhan didn't like the maid following too close. From such a long distance, the maid shouldn't be able to hear their conversation.
"Okay, why did you remember this?"
Lu Yuhan squinted at the sunshine and said, "It's nothing. I just walked to this place and remembered how sad I was back then, which made me feel a little funny."
"Since you said it was funny, you must have put this matter down." Shen Xiu looked at Lu Yuhan and said.
Lu Yuhan smiled faintly: "I have indeed let go. What you advised me back then was right. It was only after I got married that I realized that my liking for that person was just appreciation. It was only after I married Ziwen that I realized
What does it feel like to like someone."
Shen Xiu couldn't help but say Buddha in her heart. Thank God, Lu Yuhan finally let go of Wei Yan. In this way, even if she knew that she was Wei Yan's wife in the future, I'm afraid she wouldn't have much reaction.
When she was hesitating whether to tell the truth about her relationship with Wei Yan, two figures appeared on the garden path opposite.
Lu Yuhan saw the two figures and waved to them, "Mr. sir, I'm here."
The visitors are Yuan Ziwen and Young Master Lu.
When Yuan Ziwen saw Lu Yuhan, a smile appeared on his face. Just when he was about to speak, he saw that Shen Xiu was also beside him, so he said hello to Shen Xiu, "Sister-in-law is here too!"
Young Master Lu glanced lazily at his cousin, "Do you, this girl, only have eyes for your husband?"
Lu Yuhan said embarrassedly: "Don't laugh at me. I just didn't expect you guys to come out." Then he looked at Yuan Ziwen with a smile on his face, "What's your name, Sister-in-law Axiu? Do you know her?"
Shen Xiu knew as early as when Yuan Ziwen called her sister-in-law that this matter could not be hidden.
Yuan Ziwen didn't know Shen Xiu's thoughts and said directly: "Of course I know her. She is Brother Wei's wife. Because Brother Wei is one year older than me, I call her sister-in-law. From now on, you can follow me and call her sister-in-law!"
When Lu Yuhan heard the words "Brother Wei's wife", she already turned her head in disbelief.
Shen Xiu knew that she had missed the best opportunity to explain, so she simply pretended not to know anything and smiled slightly: "Sister-in-law, there is no need. From now on, you can just call me Axiu. I am cordial."
Lu Yuhan looked straight at Shen Xiu, her heart was extremely confused. She never thought that Shen Xiu's husband was Wei Yan.
But back then, she had confided to him about her secret love for Wei Yan more than once.
Fortunately she never named him, otherwise this person would be really embarrassed.
Yes, Lu Yuhan just felt embarrassed at the moment and wished she could take back what she had said.
Lu Yuhan's strange behavior was quickly noticed by Yuan Ziwen. He stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong, madam? Are you feeling a little uncomfortable?"
Lu Yuhan only felt embarrassed at the moment, and at the same time, she was embarrassed to face Shen Xiu again.
When Yuan Ziwen asked, she immediately said: "I'm a little dizzy, please help me back to my room first!"
Shen Xiu then watched helplessly as Yuan Ziwen helped Lu Yuhan away.
When Master Lu saw them leaving, he stretched himself and walked away slowly.
Shen Xiu secretly sighed. She originally wanted to use Lu Yuhan to cover herself, but how could she have imagined that something like this would happen.
She was about to leave the garden when a rude-faced maid came over and said respectfully: "Ms. Shen, our master has invited you."
