My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row

Lu Zhenzhen could see that Zhao had really been poisoned by her cousin Liu Sisi.

Anyway, no matter what mistakes Liu Sisi made or what flaws she revealed, in Zhao's eyes, it was all because she was young, lost her mother at an early age, and was not liked.

They are all extenuating circumstances and not a big problem.

As an adult, you argue with Liu Sisi, which means you are not broad-minded enough.

There is no problem with Liu Sisi anyway!

Good words can't persuade a damn ghost!

Her sisters-in-law have warned her so much, both openly and secretly, but she still doesn't take it seriously. It means that this disaster is destined for her.

Don't blame them. Why didn't they just tell Zhao that there was something wrong with Liu Sisi?

It's obvious that in Zhao's heart, Liu Sisi is definitely closer to her than her sisters-in-law.

You run over and tell her that Liu Sisi has ulterior motives, it’s doubtful that Zhao will believe it!

I'm afraid that people will turn around and say that the three of them have ulterior motives and are deliberately trying to sow discord between the cousins.

So why bother doing such useless work and getting yourself into trouble?

Although the mansion seems peaceful now, as long as Fu Zhiming still wants to fight for the title, all this is just superficial calm.

Zhao and Fu Zhiming are husband and wife. How could she not know Fu Zhiming's thoughts when cooking?

Judging from what she showed on a daily basis, Zhao probably also had this idea vaguely, but it was not as obvious as Fu Zhiming.

So it was destined that Zhao was not the same kind of people as them, so there was no need for that.

After all, Lu Zhenzhen is not a saint. She was able to remind Zhao Shi several times in this tactful way because of the friendship they had over the past few days and because Zhao Shi was not a bad person by nature.

Lu Zhenzhen quickly made her position clear.

Then, he smiled and said nothing more.

This is especially true for Mrs. Hu. From her point of view, the more mistakes Mrs. Zhao makes, the better it will be for them.

She was able to give a few reminders, although her tone was not nice, but she had done her utmost.

Zhao is so unreasonable, as if she has lost her mind and blinded her eyes, so let her do whatever she wants.

Anyway, it will be Zhao who will be in trouble, so she is happy to watch the joke.

Sun is aloof and proud, but also somewhat averse to stupidity.

I've long been impatient.

The three sisters-in-law exchanged a glance, and they all understood what was going on. Mrs. Hu spoke up, "Alright, are you inviting us here to welcome the cousin of the Liu family, or are you here to cause trouble for us? Eat your food—"

As he was speaking, a maid brought over a plate of salted shrimps.

Zhao said hurriedly, "This is the white shrimp from the river that I asked the farm to send over this morning. They are boiled in salt water and are extremely fresh and sweet. Everyone, come and try some—"

Mrs. Hu asked the maid to pick one for her. Before she put it in the bowl, she smelled a fishy smell and rushed over.

Her face changed, and she felt uncomfortable and her chest was churning. She couldn't help but cover her mouth with a handkerchief, turned her head away and started to retch.

The girl who was serving her food was so frightened that she didn't even dare to pick up the dropped chopsticks. She just knelt beside her and said, "Grandma, please forgive me..."

Bai Ling rushed over, supported Hu, patted her back to help her breathe, and asked anxiously, "Grandma, what happened to you?"

Mrs. Hu retched a few times, then took the tea that Huamei handed her. After rinsing her mouth, she frowned and said, "Old Third, you've been tricked by your subordinates, haven't you? These shrimps are so fishy and smelly, I'm afraid they're all rotten."

Zhao frowned and sniffed the shrimp dish, wondering, "Isn't that just shrimp? How can it be fishy? Sister-in-law, even if you despise the feast I prepared, you wouldn't just say it's bad, right?"

"Even though my Zhao family isn't as wealthy as your Duke of Qi, we wouldn't resort to using inferior items to make up for this little bit of stuff, right?"

Mrs. Hu was still feeling a little choked up, and she rolled her eyes. "You really don't know what's good for you. I was worried that you'd be fooled by the servants, but you thought I was picking on you on purpose. Really—"

He patted his chest angrily and asked for help: "Fourth sister-in-law, come and smell it, do you think there is something wrong with this shrimp?"

Lu Zhenzhen picked up a shrimp and smelled it, but there was no strange smell.

He signaled the maids to peel one and put it in his mouth to chew. Sure enough, the shrimp meat was chewy and sweet.

Putting down his chopsticks, he said honestly, "I tasted it and I don't think there's anything wrong with this shrimp, right?"

Before she could finish her words, Zhao interrupted her: "The fourth family also said there was no problem! I think you are just unhappy and are deliberately finding fault!"

Mrs. Hu knew that Lu Zhenzhen was a straightforward person who said what she thought, and there was no need for her to lie about such a small matter.

Suddenly, a look of suspicion appeared on his face, and he began to doubt himself: "Could it be that I smelled it wrong?"

He moved closer to the bowl of shrimps and smelled it, then frowned again, patted his chest, and asked for tea.

Seeing that Mrs. Hu was not pretending, Lu Zhenzhen said thoughtfully, "Looking at the eldest sister-in-law, does she look like she is pregnant? I heard that some pregnant women cannot stand the smell of fish and shrimp. Do you want to call the palace doctor to take a look?"

This one sentence woke everyone up.

Everyone looked at Hu's belly with different expressions.

Mrs. Hu was startled and touched her flat belly, which hadn't changed at all. "No way? I had my period a few days ago—"

Zhao's expression was complicated, with panic, a bit of dejection, and a bit of reluctance, but she finally suppressed it all and said sourly, "If that's the case, then congratulations, sister-in-law!"

Lu Zhenzhen hurriedly said, "Let's get someone to call the court doctor first! Let's make sure she's pregnant!"

The maids and old women had already rushed all the way to call the palace doctor.

The rest of the people had no appetite.

Lunger and Jieger were still young. Seeing the adults in such a state of alert, they were frightened and huddled aside, not daring to say a word.

It was Lu Zhenzhen who saw it and ordered, "Alright, take Brother downstairs. It's too noisy here for them to stay. It looks like Wei Ge'er and the others will be finishing school soon, so take them down together and get them a separate table."

Only then did Zhao remember Lun Ge'er.

When he thought that if Mrs. Hu was really pregnant at this moment, she might not be able to take care of them, he nodded in agreement.

The maids and servants who served the two boys were pardoned and hurriedly retreated after holding the two boys in their arms.

Logically speaking, if Liu Sisi knew the rules, she should find an excuse to go back to her own yard at this time.

But she looked at Hu in shock, and seemed to have not recovered for half a day.

Not long after, the court doctor was brought over by several servants, almost half carried and half dragged.

It was Doctor Zhong who had examined Aunt Luo last time.

Doctor Zhong was already quite old, and being dragged here like this almost cost him his life.

As soon as he arrived, before he could even stand firmly, he was urged by Hu's maid to take Hu's pulse quickly.

Doctor Zhong smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, don't worry, wait for me to slow down and calm down, then I can take the pulse!"

Now, Hu's maids didn't dare to rush him anymore. They all looked at Doctor Zhong, waiting for him to catch his breath.

Doctor Zhong stood for a moment, calmed his rapid breathing, then walked over to sit next to Mrs. Hu and motioned for her to stretch out her wrist.

After taking the patient's pulse for half a day with his eyes closed, Doctor Zhong opened his eyes, smiled slightly, and nodded, saying, "The pulse is flowing smoothly and like a bead. The grandmother is indeed about a month pregnant."
