Lin Ruoxi also realized that her tone wasn't very good, but as long as she mentioned Ning Guangyao, she didn't know why her heart would be in a mess, and all kinds of sour and bitter emotions would surge up.
She sighed, forced a smile, lowered her head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I … I'm not angry at you, I know you care about me, thank you, but I … really don't feel like talking today, good night …"
After saying that, Lin Ruoxi closed the door.
Yang Cheng stood at the door for a while in a daze, bit his lips, and then laughed at himself before walking back to his room.
Not long after he returned to his room, Guo Xuehua knocked on the door and came in, holding a tray in her hand, with two bowls of steaming hot food on it, and a delicious aroma wafted in the air.
"Mom, what's this?" Yang Cheng was about to take a bath, and smelled the aroma and became spirited.
Guo Xuehua looked at Yang Cheng lovingly, and a little helpless, smiled faintly and said, "I made chicken soup for you, and some lotus seed soup. You came back so late, so I heated it up for you."
Yang Cheng couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. In fact, because he was a person with rough skin and thick flesh, and he could almost enjoy everything by himself, so even if Guo Xuehua wanted to give him some good things, she was powerless.
But Guo Xuehua would still make some food and drinks from time to time, for him to eat snacks or supper. Although it was simple, it was also a form of care.
He had lived for more than twenty years, and it was only in this year that he gradually realized that no matter how high his realm was, his feelings for his mother were irreplaceable.
Taking the chicken soup, Yang Cheng scooped it into his mouth, and tasted it differently than usual, and couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what medicinal herbs did you put in this?"
"Nothing much, just some deer antler from the northeast, some caterpillar fungus from Tibet, and some miscellaneous medicinal herbs, to make you more nutritious," Guo Xuehua said with a kind smile.
"I don't need it. It's just to satisfy my cravings."
Yang Cheng knew that the tonics sent by the Yang Family, such as caterpillar fungus, deer antler, bear gall, and ginseng, would definitely not be as deceptive as those sold in the market.
If an ordinary person ate too much of these tonics, they might get a nosebleed. However, Guo Xuehua was willing to stuff all of them into the pot for Yang Cheng to stew. Anyway, Yang Cheng could take it.
"Of course. No matter how strong you are, it's always good to have more supplements. Moreover, I'm counting on you to give me a healthy and chubby grandson. So I asked an old Chinese doctor for a prescription that's specially made for men's kidneys," Guo Xuehua said in a low voice.
Yang Cheng almost spat out a mouthful of saliva. So it was because of that. He smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, other men might need it, but your son doesn't lack kidneys.
Besides, didn't I tell you earlier that I can't impregnate them now because my cultivation and physique are much stronger than theirs? It's useless to eat these things. "
"I know," Guo Xuehua patted Yang Cheng's shoulder and said, "But isn't Qiangwei already at the Soul Formation stage? Her cultivation speed is so fast, maybe she can connect with you? "
"Qiangwei?" Yang Cheng was stunned. So this was Guo Xuehua's plan. No wonder she seemed to care about Qiangwei more than before. If Qiangwei knew about this, he really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Yang Cheng sighed and said, "Mom, although Qiangwei's cultivation speed is fast, your son's cultivation speed is even faster. Moreover, I'm at the Tribulation Stage, and I'm improving rapidly.
Qiangwei's progress actually doesn't have much of an impact. The chances of her getting pregnant are still pitifully small. "
"No matter how small the chances are, it's still higher than Ruoxi's!" Guo Xuehua suddenly rolled her eyes and snorted with some complaint.
Yang Cheng was startled. He didn't expect Guo Xuehua to suddenly change the topic to Lin Ruoxi. It seemed that she was dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law.
Yang Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Mom, how can you say that about Ruoxi? Cultivation is a matter of fate and aptitude. Everyone is different and can't be forced.
I can't be especially biased towards Qiangwei just because Qiangwei's cultivation speed is fast. It's too unfair to others. "
"Humph, I don't want to be biased, but I have to do things and show my attitude so that I won't be biased!"
Guo Xuehua seemed to have held back for a long time and said, "You just went to comfort Ruoxi at the door, right?"
Yang Cheng nodded blankly, "You saw it downstairs?"
"Of course, I can tell from your worried look. If it's not to comfort her, what else can it be? But what about her? She doesn't want to talk to you at all. She even let you stand outside the door and then closed the door in the end!
Since we've already slept together, why does she have to sleep separately at home? The probability of her having a child is small, and she still keeps you outside all day. I'm angry just thinking about it!
Why does my son have so many good girls who like him, but he has to protect such an insensible woman as his legal wife?
Since she married into a rich family, she has to have awareness. What she can get is something that other women can only dream of, so she has to pay a price!
I don't expect my daughter-in-law to do much for us elders, but she has to make me feel that she loves my son, right?! "
The more Guo Xuehua spoke, the more agitated she became. In the end, her eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn't bear to look at Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng held the chicken soup and smiled foolishly, "It's not that serious … Isn't Ruoxi just like that? Actually, she still cares a lot about me.
And Lanlan likes to sleep with Mom, right? I don't think there's anything wrong with the mother and daughter sleeping together.
Besides, isn't this just right? I can actually go to sleep somewhere else at night, and I won't be neglecting them.
As for having a child … It's useless to rush it. "
"You're still speaking up for her?" Guo Xuehua looked at her son exasperatedly, "Since Ruoxi is the daughter-in-law of our Yang Family, it's only natural that she's the first to have a child. Otherwise, it'll be so worrying. In the future, will you help the child's mother or your wife? Aren't you annoyed?
Also, I don't believe that if Qianni, Rose, or even An Xin and Mingyu were to be your wives today, would you have to go through so much trouble just to have sex with your wife, let's not talk about whether they would adopt one before giving birth? If this gets out, people will think that you guys are faking your marriage! "
"Mom," Yang Cheng said seriously, "You're wrong. Although Lanlan is adopted, I truly treat her as my own daughter. She's also my and Ruoxi's first child. No matter how many children I have in the future, this will never change."
Guo Xuehua nodded in annoyance, "Alright, alright, alright. I know that Lanlan is a good girl, and I like Lanlan very much. I treat her as my granddaughter.
But Lanlan is a girl after all, and she's not the blood of our Yang Family. Your grandfather won't be able to wake up for many years. Do you really have the heart to let him not have a great-grandchild in his seventy years? "
Looking at Guo Xuehua's pitiful look, Yang Cheng's heart felt like it was being stung by bees. He lowered his head and sighed, "I understand, mom. I promise you, I'll think of a way to improve their cultivation as soon as possible."
Guo Xuehua looked deeply at Yang Cheng and patted Yang Cheng's shoulder, "Son, mom knows that the one you like the most is still Ruoxi. Although I don't know why, but since you like her the most, mom will try her best to tolerate her.
But all mothers in the world are selfish. At the end of the day, the daughter-in-law belongs to someone else, and my son is my own. I really can't stand you being treated like this in front of your daughter-in-law …
Maybe you don't think much of it, but in my heart as your mother, sometimes it hurts so much that it feels like the tip of my heart is bleeding …
You're so capable, and you don't lack good women to like you. Why do you have to be so submissive and always be treated coldly? "
"Alright, mom," Yang Cheng stood up. He didn't want to listen anymore. His heart was like a lake that had a big stone thrown into it, creating huge waves. He smiled and said, "Don't say anymore, I know you're worried about me.
I'll pay attention to communicating with Ruoxi in the future. It's getting late, you should go and rest first. It's easy to get wrinkles if you're too late. "
Guo Xuehua wanted to say something, but Yang Cheng pushed her out of the door, so she could only give up.
When the room quietened down, Yang Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. After finishing the rest of the chicken soup and lotus seed soup, he lay on the bed, too lazy to wash up.
It seemed that although he tried his best to please both sides, the conflict between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was constantly intensifying. It was time to take some time to talk to Lin Ruoxi about this.
