After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 189 No One Can Leave Each Other

You should know that she has a younger brother, but Jiang Kun seemed to only have eyes for Jiang Xiyu. He gave everything in the General's Mansion to Jiang Xiyu as a dowry and did not leave much for her younger brother.

Mrs. Hu was filled with envy, her eyes sparkling as she asked, "The set Sister-in-law wore yesterday is different from the one she's wearing today, right? Do you have a lot of jewelry like this?"

"There are indeed some." Jiang Xiyu said without any modesty.

Everyone was envious and jealous when they heard this.

For an ordinary person to get such a piece of jewelry would be a big deal, but not only was her head and body full of them, but she even had extra ones in the house. This was something that made people envious and jealous.

Jiang Xiyu suddenly looked at Zhou, "I haven't had the chance to show my respect to my aunt before. It's rare for my aunt to come to the mansion. Would you like to come to my room and sit for a while?"

"This..." If it was an ordinary matter, Zhou would definitely refuse without thinking. After all, nothing was more important than looking after Xu Rong right now.

But when she thought of the jewelry in Jiang Xiyu's yard, she felt a little hesitant.

Seeing Zhou's hesitation, Hu stood up and said, "I want to go too. Every piece of jewelry my sister-in-law owns is priceless. Not to mention that they're impossible to buy on the market, even if they were, I wouldn't be able to afford them. If I could get one, wouldn't I be so proud in front of all the noble ladies in Kyoto?"

As soon as Mrs. Hu said this, Mrs. Sun also stood up quickly and said, "I'll go take a look too."

"Then I'll go too." Seeing this, Zhou couldn't wait to stand up, as if she was afraid that if she didn't express her opinion, Jiang Xiyu would not take her with her.

Seeing Zhou taking the bait, Jiang Xiyu raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Then let's go and take a look together."

When Xu Rong saw them going to look at jewelry, she wanted to go with them, but Zheng secretly pulled her back.

Xu Rong glanced at Zheng, but didn't stand up.

Zhou was worried about leaving Xu Rong alone, so she looked at her and said, "Rong'er, come and take a look."

Xu Rong touched her stomach and said, "I just had lunch. I'm a little tired and don't want to move. You guys go and see."

Seeing that Xu Rong refused to go, Zhou began to waver again.

Jiang Xiyu smiled and said, "I didn't expect that my cousin and sister are so loving and can't live without each other."

Jiang Xiyu's words reminded Zhou of her son instantly.

Mrs. Zhou immediately looked at Zhou Lai and said, "Laier, you stay here with Rong'er. Rong'er is pregnant now, so you must take good care of her. Don't make any mistakes."

While giving these instructions, Zhou winked at Zhou Lai.

Zhou Lai understood what Zhou meant and nodded obediently, "I understand."

Seeing that Zhou Lai understood what she meant, Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go." Jiang Xiyu accompanied Zhou out of the main hall.

Sun and Hu also went along.

As soon as Zhou and the others left, Zheng winked at the nanny.

The nanny immediately brought Zhou Lai a pot of tea and poured him a cup. "This is a reward from the palace. It's this year's new tea. Please try it, son-in-law."

Hearing that it was a reward from the palace, Zhou Lai did not doubt it. He took a bite and found it tasted quite fresh, so he took another bite.

After taking two sips of tea, Zhou Lai felt the roof spinning rapidly. Before he could figure out what was going on, he fainted.

Seeing Zhou Lai suddenly faint, Xu Rong was shocked and stood up to check, but her hand was held by Zheng, who told Li Ma Ma beside her, "Ma Ma, the son-in-law is drunk, take him to the guest house to rest."

"Yes." Nanny Li responded, called a few servants, and helped Zhou Lai to the guest house.

Xu Rong realized that Zhou Lai had been drugged, and guessed that Zheng had something to say to her, so she didn't move and just sat down to watch the servants busy themselves.

After the servants left, Zheng anxiously grabbed Xu Rong's hand and said, "Rong'er, mother wants to ask you, are you really pregnant?"

Xu Rong touched her still-invisible belly and nodded, "Yes, I found out last night."

Zheng's face darkened. "Whose child is it?"

Xu Rong's face turned pale and she stopped touching her belly.

Zheng grabbed her hand a little harder, "Rong'er, did the Zhou family bully you? There are no outsiders here now. If you are wronged, mother will definitely stand up for you."

Xu Rong raised her eyes and saw Zheng's eyes that were both distressed and worried. Her eyes felt a little sore and she subconsciously wanted to speak, but when the words came to her lips, she thought of what Zhou Qin had said to her and swallowed them back.

The voice was a little depressed, "The child in my belly is the child of the Zhou family's bloodline."

Zheng didn't believe Xu Rong's words at all. "You are still lying now. Zhou Lai is a useless man. How could he make you pregnant?"

Zheng's words were like a constant reminder of the humiliation she had suffered in the Zhou family. Her face immediately darkened and she said impatiently, "Didn't I tell you that he is the Zhou family's child?"

Zheng was stunned for a moment and stared at Xu Rong with some suspicion. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put it into words.

Xu Rong was afraid that she would notice something, so she softened her tone, "Don't worry, mother. I'm doing well in the Zhou family. They haven't treated me unfairly."

"But why have you lost so much weight?" Zheng touched Xu Rong's thin face with heartache.

Xu Rong's eyes flickered slightly. "Didn't I tell you it's because of morning sickness?"

Zheng frowned, still not quite believing what Xu Rong said.

She has also given birth to a child. Morning sickness usually occurs when the baby is two or three months pregnant. She is only one month pregnant now, so why would she be sick?

But since she didn't want to say it, if she forced her to ask, it would only annoy her.

Zheng's eyes turned and she asked indirectly, "By the way, why didn't Wonton and Caiye come back with you this time?"

Xu Rong thought of an excuse as her eyes flickered. "They didn't do their job well, so I punished them. I didn't let them follow."

"Why? What did they do wrong?"

Xu Rong was very impatient with Zheng's series of questions. "It's nothing serious, please don't ask."

Zheng frowned and said earnestly, "Since it's not a big deal, you're married now, so you should have people you trust around you. They've been with you since childhood and are trustworthy. Just give them a small punishment to serve as a warning to others."

Xu Rong's eyes darkened slightly, and she hummed, "I see."

Even though she is pregnant now, she is not free in the Zhou family, so they have even less freedom.

If Zheng hadn't taken Jiang Xiyu to Zhou's house to make trouble, she would still be locked in the attic.

Even though she agreed to what Zhou Qin had said yesterday, she still didn't believe it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Zhou and Zhou Lai come back together today. Wonton and Caiye couldn't be sure that she wouldn't say too much, so in order to avoid any mistakes, they were left at Zhou's house.

Zheng looked at Xu Rong's worried look and said, "Do you want me to give Nanny Li to you? I'll feel more at ease with her looking after you."

Xu Rong refused without hesitation, "No, I'm pregnant now. The Zhou family has sent many maids to take care of me, so you don't have to worry about me."
