Although he was laughing at Jiujiu in his heart, Ling Shuo pretended to explain, "Grandma, Jiujiu is pregnant."
Old Madam Fu originally wanted to say how bad Jiujiu was. Who knew that as soon as she opened her mouth, Ling Shuo would say that Jiujiu was pregnant. She was instantly at a loss for words.
Even though the old lady knew that as long as she persisted, Jiujiu would not end well.
However, just as Ling Shuo had said, Jiujiu was pregnant. If she did as she was told, she was afraid that she would drown in saliva.
Old Madam looked at Ling Shuo with a gloomy face and said, "Which one of the women in the backyard hasn't been pregnant before? Who was as delicate as her? Shuo 'er, you really are muddle-headed. "
Even if Jiujiu was really pregnant, in the end, Jiujiu was just a girl sent by the Bai Family to appease the Ling Family.
Even if she was pregnant, as Ling Shuo's wife, wasn't it her responsibility to give birth to Ling Shuo's children?
Which woman had not been pregnant before? Which woman had not given birth to a child? She had never seen anyone more delicate than Jiujiu.
He had really overturned the heavens.
Old Madam Bai looked at Ling Shuo sternly and said, "Shuo 'er, I know she is your daughter-in-law, but you must remember that she is a member of the Bai family. She was sent here by the Bai family. Are you really going to let her do whatever she wants just because she is pregnant with your child?"
She was only pregnant, yet she dared to be so impudent. If she really gave birth to a son, the sky would be turned upside down.
There was probably no one in the family who could control her.
The old lady had been the head of the Ling family all her life. How could she be willing to let a brat like Jiujiu step on her head?
Ling Shuo turned a deaf ear to Old Madam Yang's words. He looked at Old Madam Yang and emphasized, "She is my wife."
In other words, I wanted to give her the dignity of a wife.
After Ling Shuo finished speaking, he bowed slightly to the old lady and turned to leave.
Looking at Ling Shuo's back, the anger she felt from being angered by Jiujiu just now surged up. She raised her hand and grabbed the teacup, but just as she was about to throw it, she had to be careful of Ling Shuo, who had not left yet.
This time, when he asked Ling Shuo to come back, not only did he not get a satisfactory answer, but he was also very angry.
However, this incident also served as a wake-up call for the old lady. It made her realize what kind of position Jiujiu had in Ling Shuo's heart.
Ling Shuo could disregard his own grandmother's opinion for Jiujiu, a woman who was pregnant with his child. When Jiujiu really gave birth to a child in the future, she would no longer have the right to speak in the Ling family.
Old Madam Yang, who had been in power all her life, was not willing to give up her power. After thinking about it, Old Madam Yang finally came up with the idea of getting rid of the mother and keeping the child.
Even if Ling Shuo doted on Jiujiu, so what? A woman's childbirth was originally a gate to hell. As long as Old Madam Yang played a little trick and made Jiujiu have some accidents when she gave birth, then at that time …
Thinking of this, Old Madam Yang's gloomy face finally showed a reluctantly satisfactory smile.
After going out of Old Madam Yang's yard, Ling Shuo went straight to Jiujiu's yard.
Jiujiu was sitting on a stool, watching the performers intently. From time to time, she would grab a handful of fruit and put it into her mouth, chewing slowly. Her leisurely appearance was really enviable.
Ling Shuo moved his long legs and sat next to Jiujiu. Looking at Jiujiu's sparkling eyes because of excitement, he said, "You're having fun."
Jiujiu, who was eating fruit, suddenly heard Ling Shuo's voice. She immediately choked on her saliva and coughed repeatedly.
After a long time, Jiujiu finally calmed down. While drinking water, she glared at Ling Shuo and said angrily, "Don't you know that you can scare people to death?"
Ling Shuo wanted to say that he did not scare Jiujiu, but when he saw that Jiujiu's eyes were red and watery because of coughing, he swallowed back the words in his mouth and just said, "Why did you think of inviting an opera troupe to your home?"
He thought that Jiujiu would at most comply on the surface but oppose on the surface. He did not expect that she would go against the wind and commit such a crime.
Old Madam Yang had lost her temper for no reason today, and Ling Shuo had also come back to ask her why she had invited an opera troupe. Jiujiu blinked in confusion and asked quizzically, "Can't we invite an opera troupe?"
Ling Shuo paused. "Grandma doesn't like to listen to opera."
Jiujiu, "…"
She was wondering why Old Madam Yang acted as if she had eaten explosives. It turned out that she did not like to listen to opera.
If she did not like to listen to opera, she should have said so earlier. She could have gone to another yard to listen to opera. The moment Old Madam Yang came over, Old Madam Yang tried to put her in her place. She did not expect that by a stroke of luck, she would be able to get away with it.
Jiujiu blinked and looked at Ling Shuo as she said, "I really didn't know that your grandma doesn't like to listen to opera. Should I ask the opera troupe to go back now?"
Looking at Jiujiu's guilty expression, Ling Shuo raised his hand to ruffle Jiujiu's hair and said, "Continue listening to the opera."
Old Madam Yang's attitude towards Jiujiu should be taught a lesson.
In Jiujiu's heart, Ling Shuo was the eldest in the Ling Family, and she was the second in command.
She had suggested asking the opera troupe to go back because she had considered that Old Madam Yang was Ling Shuo's grandmother. However, since Ling Shuo had asked her to continue, she would continue.
Anyway, she was just an outsider. It was normal that she did not know that Old Madam Yang did not like to listen to opera.
Originally, Ling Shuo had only wanted to take a look at Jiujiu before returning to the military. However, when he was by Jiujiu's side and saw Jiujiu's teary eyes because of the stories in the opera, Ling Shuo inexplicably felt that it was more interesting than reading the documents.
Jiujiu watched the opera for the entire day, while Ling Shuo watched Jiujiu's facial expressions for the entire day.
On this day, except for Old Madam Yang, everyone was satisfied.
Because Jiujiu had invited the opera troupe back, Old Madam Yang did not dare to continue grounding Jiujiu. She simply gave the order that if Jiujiu wanted to listen to the opera, she could listen outside. Calling the opera troupe back would not be good for the Ling Family's reputation.
As for what was bad about it, Old Madam Yang did not say, and Jiujiu was too lazy to ask. She went back to eating, drinking, playing, and spending money like before.
After more than a month of carefree days, Jiujiu had just laid down on the bed when she smelled the pungent smell of blood.
Needless to say, it was definitely Ling Shuo's return.
Jiujiu hurriedly put on her pajamas and sat up on the bed. As soon as she walked outside, she saw Ling Shuo standing in the courtyard with his arms open, asking someone to take off his blood-stained clothes.
Ling Shuo's clothes looked as if they had been taken out of a pool of blood. Although it was not dripping blood, it looked sticky. When Jiujiu saw it, she retched twice at an inappropriate time. Then, she covered her mouth and walked inside.
Ling Shuo …
What if his wife disliked him?
Of course, in the eyes of others, Jiujiu's retching was not because she disliked him, but because she was pregnant and could not bear to see anything too bloody.
To prevent Jiujiu from retching again, Ling Shuo did not forget to get closer to Jiujiu. He went to the bathroom next door to take a shower. Then, he changed into clean clothes and went into the room.
