The argunt quickly drew Shu Yu and Zhou Qiao out of the living room, and upon hearing Madam Li’s words, both of them were speechless.
Zhou Qiao knew her Second Aunt was reluctant to spend money, but if she couldn’t bear to, then don’t buy it. How could she casually use the dicine that was already taken? Fortunately, she hadn’t planned to consu it.
The arguing parties hadn’t noticed the people standing behind them. Upon hearing Madam Li’s words, Second Aunt Zhou snorted with a cold laugh.
She pointed at Madam Li’s nose with her hands on her hips and said, "You have the nerve to talk about . Although the fetus-preserving dicine I brought is so crushed residue, at least it has the effect of preserving the fetus. And you? What is the tonifying dicine you got? People say it helps to have a son, and you believe it, buying five doses at once. Aren’t you afraid of causing trouble for your daughter-in-law?"
Shu Yu, "..."
Her earlier suspicions were indeed correct, and Madam Li had really bought it.
Daniu was also incredulous, "Mother, did you really buy it?"
Madam Li stamred, "Well, they said it’s true. Those who took the dicine they sold really had sons."
Daniu’s face turned completely dark. "In the future, don’t buy things for Qiaoqiao to consu randomly. Go pack your things; I’ll send you back to the county town imdiately."
"Daniu, what do you an by this? Would I harm my own grandson?" Madam Li was in shock, had she not done enough for Zhou Qiao since she got pregnant?
Second Aunt Zhou was sowhat smug on the side.
Unexpectedly, Daniu’s gaze shifted and landed on her, "Second Aunt, you also go back to the county town with my mother."
Second Aunt Zhou’s smile froze instantly, and she wasn’t happy. She lifted her head to refute.
However, a voice suddenly sounded from behind, "Brother Daniu, I’m just about to go back; I’ll take them along."
Madam Li and Second Aunt Zhou’s expressions changed dramatically, and for a mont, they dared not turn around.
This voice, why did this voice sound so familiar? It seems to be... Lu Shuyu?
In the next mont, Daniu’s excited voice confird their guess.
"Yu, you’ve returned. I heard soone saying they saw your carriage, so I rushed ho. Wait for ; I’ll go wash my face and then talk to you."
"Alright."
Shu Yu bead, watching Daniu turn and leave.
Then she looked towards Madam Li and Second Aunt Zhou, seeing them still with their backs to her, almost bursting into laughter.
Was she that scary now?
"Eldest Aunt? Second Aunt Zhou? Why aren’t you moving?"
They didn’t dare move...
Madam Li quickly snapped out of it, thinking it over. She and Yu had no conflict, and their relationship had been quite close when she left Jiangyuan County a few months ago.
So she imdiately turned around, looking delighted and a bit overwheld, "Oh my, it really is Yu. I thought the voice sounded familiar, thought I was hearing things. Didn’t expect it to be you. When did you get back from the Capital? Is the Capital fun? Is it very lively? You’re lucky, so young, and went to visit the feet of the Emperor."
Shu Yu, "..." If you can’t say anything nice, say less.
Zhou Qiao reminded her from the side, "Mother, Shu Yu went to handle business." Not for leisure.
Madam Li glared at her, then with a smile said to Shu Yu, "You know your sister-in-law is pregnant, right? You’re going to be an aunt soon. This is the first grandchild of the Lu family; your Grandmother and I value it very much."
With that, she affectionately took Shu Yu’s hand and went back to the living room.
As for Second Aunt Zhou, she quietly reduced her presence.
