The departure of Xie Jin and his son had no effect on Chen Jiao's life. They continued to listen to Xie's words during the day and talk about how good other people's daughter-in-law were. They were entangled by Yu Jingyao to have children at night. If the only difference was that Yu Lan had not shown up for a while, most of the time he stayed in the boudoir and felt sad.

On this day, Xie invited three wives to play cards at home, namely Mrs. Wu, who drank the soup cooked by his daughter-in-law every day, Mrs. Guo, who often received filial piety from his daughter-in-law, and Mrs. Liu, who gave birth to a pair of twin fat sons at home.

"Does my mother have a good relationship with the three wives?" Yu Jingyao was not at home, and Chen Jiao chatted with Yu Xiang.

Yu Xiang curled his lips and snorted, "What's so good? My brother is familiar with these three families. The wives of the four families often get together. Our family is the richest. The three wives are jealous of their mother and always like to show off their mother in other things. The mother smiles on her face and is almost despised her from death behind her back."

Chen Jiao's heart moved slightly.

According to Chen Jiao's observation, Xie is very simple. In the past, Xie said that there are so many daughters-in-laws in other people's houses, but Chen Jiao only thought that Xie really disliked her. Now it seems that maybe Xie only needs his daughter-in-law to be filial to her occasionally, so she can show off when she goes out as a guest.

Chen Jiao didn't want to please Xie, but she was idle. If she did it, she could ease the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Why didn't she try it?

Chen Jiao ordered the kitchen to prepare honey and pears. Then she only took more than two minutes to stew a pot of pear soup, cooled it up with a fan, and added honey, and the honey pear soup was made. Chen Jiao divided four bowls in total, covered the lid, and asked Shuang'er to carry it. Chen Jiao went to Yong'an Hall without any haste.

Xie was not lucky today and kept losing. He finally made a comeback in this game. As soon as Chen Jiao stepped into the door, Xie touched himself.

Madam Li is the confidant of Xie. Last time she trained two maids for Xie, but Yu Jingyao later called her over to secretly mention it. Madam Li is still smart and knows that Yu Jingyao is the one who decides to take Yu Jingyao's money, so she decided to do a good job for Yu Jingyao and try her best to make Xie like Chen Jiao.

"My grandma is so stupid as soon as she comes. Do you think it's auspicious or not?" Madam Li said to Xie with a smile.

People who play cards are more confident in card luck. Xie looked at Chen Jiao and asked, "Why are you here?"

Chen Jiao saluted and said respectfully: "When I greeted my mother in the morning, I heard her coughing a few times. The weather was getting colder and colder. My daughter-in-law just stewed a pear honey soup that moistened the lungs and relieves cough. Did you try it with your three wives?"

Xie did cough twice this morning, but unexpectedly, his daughter-in-law remembered it and even made soup.

Seeing that the three card friends looked at the tray in Shuang'er's hands, Xie suddenly felt very proud. These three people talked about their daughter-in-law's filial piety every day, but she had never seen it with her own eyes. Who knows what is true? Today, her daughter-in-law is truly filial to her.

"Come here, everyone can try it." Xie said to the three guests generously.

The three wives had to share courtesy, and of course they all had to praise Chen Jiao as a filial daughter-in-law.

Madam Li added a chair next to Xie and asked Chen Jiao to sit on it.

Chen Jiao is very gentleman, she only looks at Xie's cards.

Xie is not good at playing cards. She can't ask, but when his daughter-in-law comes, Xie can't help but ask Chen Jiao. Chen Jiao's card skills are good, especially at observing other people's cards. She seriously helped her come up with several ideas. After a few laps, Xie won more than she lost, and she made up all the previous losses.

She saw Chen Jiao becoming more and more pleasing. Mrs. Guo was unhappy and couldn't drive Chen Jiao away, so she asked Chen Jiao kindly: "Young grandma has been married for so long, is there good news?"

Chen Jiao thought to herself, if she will marry in two days, will it be a full month long?

Although Xie was anxious to hold his grandson, he complained that his daughter-in-law had a small butt. Now Mrs. Guo deliberately disgusted her, so Xie pushed her back for her daughter-in-law and looked at Mrs. Guo with a funny look: "Jiaojiao has only entered the door for a month. Did you forget the wedding banquet that I came to my house last month? Didn't I tell you? You have always forgotten everything recently, is it okay?"

Mrs. Guo looked embarrassed.

Everyone continued to play cards.

The game ended until lunch was almost over. Xie won more than twenty taels of silver, took out ten taels and handed them to Chen Jiao: "Take it to buy snacks."

Chen Jiao smiled and accepted it: "Xie Niang's reward."

In the evening, when Yu Jingyao came back, Chen Jiao put out the ten taels of silver and asked Yu Jingyao to guess how she got it.

Yu Jingyao touched his forehead, but he couldn't guess it.

Chen Jiao talked proudly about her going to Yong'an Hall to deliver soup and playing cards.

Upon hearing this, Yu Jingyao smiled and pulled Chen Jiao into her arms, pinching her nose: "I can't tell, you have a lot of thoughts."

Chen Jiao hit him.

Yu Jingyao looked at the little beauty in his arms and felt that Chen Jiao cared too much about him, so she would please his mother.

With a warm heart, Yu Jingyao picked up Chen Jiao's little hand and kissed her, sighed, "Mom is actually very easy to coax. She is not short of money, just to be very face. If you help your mother make face, it would be strange if she doesn't like you."

Chen Jiao also discovered the trick to get along with Xie.

Two days later, Xie was about to go out, and Chen Jiao went to greet her while Xie was combing her hair. Then she personally combed a fashionable bun for Xie's wife, which was both dignified and generous, and was very age-reducing. Although the capital of this world is different from the one that Chen Jiao is familiar with, the beauty is common.

Xie looked in the mirror and felt that his daughter-in-law's skills were very good. When she arrived at the banquet, she was surrounded by the wives like stars and asked about her hair bun. Xie couldn't help but hold her head up and her chest up, becoming more and more proud.

What makes Chen Jiao show off her hair is more than just a bun?

She could teach Xie how to match clothes and jewelry, and she could guide Xie to maintain beauty. Xie invited other wives to the Yu family. Chen Jiao was in good order. Xie took her to a banquet outside and enjoyed the flowers. Chen Jiao knew all kinds of famous products. Young girls showed her talents. Chen Jiao wrote good handwriting and made good poems. Whose daughter-in-law was not as good as her.

Soon, it spread throughout the circle of rich wives in Yangzhou. Xie married her richest son, a daughter-in-law with both talent and beauty!

When Yu Lan came out of Xie Jin's blow, she found in disbelief that her biological mother had completely changed her attitude towards Chen Jiao.

"Mom, my sister-in-law is not doing it for your own good. She is clearly making a name for herself." Yu Lan tried hard to separate her mother and Chen Jiao.

Xie touched his much smoother face and smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law has a good reputation, but our family has a good reputation, no difference."

If the daughter-in-law has a bad reputation, it will be embarrassing for her to go out.

Yu Lan bit her lip and pouted and complained: "Mom forgot why Xie Jin left? If it weren't for her sister-in-law, I would have married Xie Jin long ago."

Xie smiled and frowned and looked at his daughter: "Xie Jin didn't pass the imperial examination and he left because he couldn't hold on to his face. What does it have to do with your sister-in-law? Just say this in front of your mother. Don't mention it randomly when you go out, so as not to talk about your elder brother and sister-in-law behind your back."

Yu Lan felt a chill in her heart. Her mother was like her elder brother, and she was biased towards her sister-in-law?

She lowered her head to hide the disappointment and resentment in her eyes.

Xie took his daughter's hand and said earnestly: "Lan'er, Xie Jin has left, don't worry, don't worry, your mother and your elder brother will choose a better husband for you."

Yu Lan still lowered her head and said for a while: "Mom just worry about me. Don't bother my brother with my affairs. I'd better spend more time with my sister-in-law, and I'd better give birth to a nephew for me earlier. I also want to coax my nephew more before getting married."

When talking about the offspring, Xie began to worry about his daughter-in-law's figure again.

Chen Jiao was also worried about the front yard main room, but it was wrong. Her menstrual affairs were three days late this month, so why didn’t she come yet?

Chen Jiao was very worried. Could she be pregnant, right?

When Yu Jingyao came back in the evening, he saw his little beauty having a lot of worries and seemed to have troubles.

"What's wrong?" Yu Jingyao sat on the chair and pulled Chen Jiao into his arms and hugged her.

Chen Jiao looked up and looked at the man in front of her.

To be fair, Yu Jingyao's handsome face, straight eyebrows and narrow phoenix eyes gave him a kind of nobleness and majesty of a superior. In addition to the threats and pressures at the beginning, Yu Jingyao was getting better and better afterwards. Even when she and Xie were in conflict, Yu Jingyao would look at her.

But Chen Jiao doesn't want to have a child. She is a person who can leave at any time. She is willing to leave Yu Jingyao, the child...

Children are different.

"I, I feel uncomfortable." Chen Jiao leaned against Yu Jingyao's shoulder, not wanting to look at him.

"It's uncomfortable?" Yu Jingyao frowned and immediately ordered the maid outside to hire a doctor. Chen Jiao couldn't stop him in a hurry.

"It's not as uncomfortable as being sick. Please ask someone to come back." Chen Jiao was afraid of seeing the doctor, and was afraid that the doctor would tell her that she was pregnant.

Yu Jingyao insisted: "Winter is coming, your body is weak and you can't be neglected."

Chen Jiao was speechless.

After the doctor arrived, Yu Jingyao sat aside and watched the doctor take Chen Jiao's pulse.

When doctors treat women, they usually ask about menstruation. Chen Jiao wants to lie, Shuang'er said quickly: "Young grandma's menstruation is three days late."

Yu Jingyao's eyes lit up. As an older man who was often urged by his biological mother to give birth to grandsons, especially after having married Chen Jiao, Yu Jingyao read related books and even walked on the street and heard the old ladies on the road talking about women giving birth to children. Yu Jingyao would secretly prick his ears and listen for a while.

"Does it have it?" Yu Jingyao asked the doctor excitedly.

The doctor clasped Chen Jiao's wrist and touched his beard, saying, "The time is too short, it's hard to say now. Please take a good rest first, be careful not to get cold or get tired. I will come again in half a month to ask for the young lady's pulse."

Yu Jingyao responded repeatedly, and personally sent the doctor out and asked for more precautions.

The doctor coughed, and finally told him at the gate: "Before there is a definite news, try to avoid sexual intercourse."

Yu Jingyao's mouth was raised all the way and finally drooped.

However, if she is really pregnant, what's the point of enduring it for a while?
