The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Song Jinbao and his family of four left after finishing their meal.

Not long after walking out of the yard, Zhao Qiao'e looked back and sighed.

"You said, Zhao Zhao returned to the Lin family and lived the life of a rich lady, so why did she become so unsatisfied?"

Song Jinbao said from the side, "The human heart is the most unpredictable. Since the person is already dead, don't think too much about it."

Song Jinsheng said, "Hasn't she done enough to target Tang'er over the years?"

He counted on his fingers.

"From alienating Tang'er from her family, defaming her reputation, to finding someone to tarnish her innocence, to even trying to get into her brother-in-law's bed, and finally pushing Tang'er off a cliff, it's clear she hasn't changed. Perhaps she's inherently vicious, and we've been kept in the dark. She doesn't deserve any sympathy at all."

Song Jinyuan also nodded.

"Let's not mention her anymore from now on. Just pretend she never showed up. Otherwise, if Tang'er hears about it, it'll definitely chill her feelings."

Zhao Qiao'e and Song Jinbao nodded.

"it is good."

……

After receiving several groups of people with a bulging belly in the morning, Song Yuntang was already a little tired. He didn't eat much at noon. Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and went back to the house to rest with the help of Xu Qingye.

Seeing this, Jiang hurriedly looked at Jinshu who was standing beside her.

"Miss Jinshu, did Tang'er eat so little outside before?"

Why does my appetite become smaller now than before I was pregnant?

Could it be that you are feeling unwell somewhere?

Or is it that the food she and her sister-in-law cook is not to her taste?

Jinshu shook her head. "This servant has only been with the County Master for three to five days, but the County Master's appetite seems to have remained the same for the past few days."

Xu Yongwang touched her arm and winked towards the two of them in the room.

"Go ask her inside. If she doesn't like it, just replace it with something she likes."

"Hey, I'll go right away."

Jiang got up and went into the house.

"Tang'er, I see you haven't eaten much these past two days. Are the meals not to your liking? Or, tell me what you want to eat and I'll buy it and cook it for you."

When Song Yuntang heard this, he knew that his family had misunderstood him.

She hurriedly explained, "Mom, the food is all to my liking, but I'm already older now. At this stage, the baby is approaching full term and has completed all aspects of development. Eating too much will make the baby too big. I'm also worried about a difficult labor later on, so I've been controlling my intake a little."

Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, mother is worried that the food is not to your liking."

Then he said, "But then again, when mother was pregnant with Qingye and Wencheng, our family wasn't as well off as it is now. Back then, we ate whatever we could get, so we didn't have to worry about the children being too big. Now that I hear you say that, I really have to be careful."

My daughter-in-law knows medicine, so what she said certainly makes sense.

Childbirth for women has always been a difficult time. Now that she has just returned home, it would not be a bad idea for her to be more careful.

Song Yuntang pursed his lips and smiled.

"Thank you for understanding me, Mom."

Jiang waved her hand and said, "It's nothing serious. You take a rest. I'm going to clear the dishes."

Song Yuntang nodded, "Go get busy, Mom."

Seeing the figure at the door disappear, Song Yuntang squeezed Xu Qingye's hand.

"Even my mother suspected that the baby in my belly was not yours. Have you never doubted it?"

Xu Qingye shook his head calmly.

"Never."

"Why?" Song Yuntang looked puzzled.

Xu Qingye thought for a moment and said, "If I have to explain why, it's probably intuition."

He helped Song Yuntang lie down.

"Don't think too much. If you feel sleepy, just take a rest. I'll be here with you."

Song Yuntang nodded. Because she was so sleepy, she fell asleep soon after lying down. Xu Qingye stayed beside her, quietly looking at her sleeping face, until Guiping poked his head into the room, then he got up and went out to the yard.

Guiping bowed before him and said, "Master, news came from people in Cile Town that the eldest son of the Lin family returned to the Lin family today and seems to have been seriously injured."

Xu Qingye nodded.

"Now that Tang'er has been found, there's no need to keep an eye on him."

Guiping took out another invitation from his pocket.

"This is an invitation sent by the Governor's wife. It says that it is the Governor's fiftieth birthday and she invites you and the county lady to attend."

Xu Qingye reached out and took it.

"I see, let's go."

"Yes."

After Guiping left, Xu Qingye returned to the house.

An hour had passed since Song Yuntang woke up. Her uncle and aunt had gone home not long after she fell asleep. Her eldest cousin was working on the farm, and her eldest cousin's wife was more than seven months pregnant and was taking care of Hu'er at home alone. They were worried about leaving her there for too long.

As if sensing the movement behind him, Xu Qingye looked back, put down the book in his hand, and walked forward to help Song Yuntang up from the bed.

"Have a rest?"

Song Yuntang nodded, and when he looked into the room, he found a touch of vermilion in the direction of the desk particularly eye-catching.

"what is that?"

Xu Qingye followed her gaze.

"The Governor is celebrating his twenty-sixth and twenty-fifth birthday this month, and his wife has sent us an invitation."

Song Yuntang looked surprised.

"The 26th of this month? Isn't that five days from now?"

Xu Qingye nodded, "Tang'er is having trouble going out right now, I'll just go over there later."

"it is good."

In this situation, it is indeed inconvenient for her to go out.

But the governor's wife had invited him, so it would definitely not be possible for both she and Xu Qingye to be absent, so it would be more appropriate for Xu Qingye to go.

"Madam Zhu previously sent a share of the Yujun Pavilion's business to the Governor's wife. Logically, I should also prepare a separate gift. It's not convenient for me to go right now. Please pick out two pieces of Shu brocade given by the palace from the warehouse and bring them to me."

Xu Qingye nodded.

"Alright."

The two of them seldom attended banquets outside before, and many people did not know that Tang'er was his wife. Sending her some gifts would be a courtesy.

It was hot during the day and I was sweating a little.

After dinner, Song Yuntang asked Jinshu to fetch a large bucket of water, washed himself clean and changed into his previous clothes.

The clothes she wore to sleep at night were made loose. Although she couldn't see clearly, after Jinshu helped her tidy up the clothes, she didn't feel tight at all.

"The county lady's belly is really not noticeable. When I was in the capital, I saw some people's bellies that were six or seven months pregnant, and some were even bigger than yours."

Song Yuntang pursed his lips and smiled.

"Maybe my belly is just thin skin and big stuffing."

Jinshu didn't react at first, but when she came to her senses, she looked in Song Yuntang's direction in surprise, then curved her eyebrows and smiled.

"How could the county lady describe you like that?" She said, holding Song Yuntang's arm, "I'll take the county lady back to her room first. I'll clean up the bathroom later."

"it is good."

Song Yuntang nodded and returned to the room with her support.
