Chapter 249
Minglan got dazed first . Then she got overjoyed right away and kept congratulating Rulan .
Speaking of that, Wang shi said happily with her eyebrows dancing, Iveknownthis good news for a while . However, at that time Rulan hasnt been pregnant for a long time . I didnt dare to make it public . Now that her condition is stable, she then asked us to visit her . Actually, Old Madam has been too careful . The moment we got the message, she sent two capable Mama to look after Rulans diet and daily life .
That was the most annoying thing about Wang shi . Since Old Madam Sheng cared about Rulan, Wang shi shouldonlyfeel grateful instead ofputtingon an act . Right now, she turned around to blame Old Madam Sheng, Mother! I know you love Rulan a lot, but Im afraid that her mother-in-law might not be happy with what you have done . When Iwentto Wen Family the other day, I saw the look on Rulans mother-in-laws face not so delightful!
Hai shi didnt know what to say . Minglan lowered her head as usual, pretending that she hadnt heardanything . Although Old Madam Sheng believed in Buddhism, she had no intention to tolerateeverything . Before,Wang shi hadalsoput on airslots of times, however, most of the time she only ended up with tragedy .
As expected, Old Madam Sheng glanced at her daughter-in-laws complacent look and took a sip of the tea . Then she said, Before,I didnt like to interfere in these things because I was sensitiveaboutmy reputation . However, now thinking of Hualan, I realize that the health of our ladies is the most important thing . I dont care if I was a bit rude to Rulans mother-in-law . After all, Rulans not as tolerant as Hualan . If she quarrels with the people of the Wen Family, it will harm either their family unity or Rulans body . Then, I dont mind being the evil persononce!
Thinking of Hualans sick appearance, Wang shi got tears in her eyes . Then she lowered her head and stopped talking . Actually, Old Madam Wen wasnt easy to deal with either . However, Shengs family was more powerful than Wens family and Wen Yanjing treasured Rulan a lot . After Old Madam Wen found hercarrot-and-stick approachall useless, she finally stopped making trouble .
Old Madam Sheng put down her tea cup and said to Wang shi with sincere words, You are lucky to have so many children and grandchildren . Now that Hualan has two sons, she could finally be a bit relieved . Lets not talk about other girls first, but Rulan was raised by you since she was born . I am an old woman who is not able to take everything into consideration, you should give more advice to Rulan inher dailylife!
After all, she is a madam now! You can not let her come back to her parents home all the time . If others hear about this, they would assume that our family is bullying . Tell her to be thoughtful and respectful to her husband . Tell her not to act like a giver to the Wensfamily, unless she doesnt want to live a good life in the future! She should treat her mother-in-law and her sister-in-law nicely and learn to tolerate! Dont act as if she has suffered great grievances every time she ran into a little trifles . All the madams would experience difficulties, why should Rulan be an exception? Is she made by gold or jade? Her husband seems likeaman with a good heart . I believe he will treatRulan well even if he becomes successful in his career, as long as Rulan doesnt go too far . Old Madam Shengs words didnt sound very strict but were straight to the point . Every blunt or implicit point she madetouched the raw nerveofWang shi . Right now, the latterwasstuck forwords .
Mother, you are right . Ill remember everything you said and tell Rulan about it afterwards . After a long while, Wang shi said that with her neck turning very stiff .

Hai shi lowered her head and counted the tea leaves in the cup likewhatMinglanwas doingwith a serious look .
Seeing Wang shis pale face, Old Madam Sheng felt quite satisfied . Then she changed thetopic, If we make mistakes in etiquette, we can not argueonanything even if we have enough grounds . If Rulan sticks to the etiquette, our family will not tolerate any misconducts oftheWens familyeither! On these words, Old Madam Sheng also got a bit angry . Shefelt sad to see her favorite eldest granddaughter suffering . However, at least Hualan had married into a family which was more powerful than the Shengs family . If Rulan whohadmarriedinto an ordinary family also got bullied, Shengs family would be a joke .
It was the best that the two families which were united by marriage could be on equal terms . Since the marriages oftheShengs girls were not frauds, no one should submit themselves to humiliation .
After Minglan had counted the tea leaves three times, she changed thetopicby talking to Hai shi, When are you going to hold the one-month feast for Hui, sister-in-law? I am looking forward to it .
Hai shi, as a clever woman, repliedtoMinglan right away with a smile, My condition was not sogoodwhen I gave birth to Hui . My mother who caresaboutme a lot decided to hold the two-month feast in Hais family . By then, Hui and I will be more vigorous to meet the guests and attend the feast .
Wang shi nodded while glancing at her daughter-in-law complacently, Thats right . By then, it willbea month after your Eldest Sisters delivery . Rulans condition will be more stabletoo . Our family could all gather together .
Minglan glancedatOld Madam Sheng, finding the latter fiddling with the dried orange in the plate calmly with a slightly scornful look on her face .
Minglan tried her best to hold back her laughter and said to Wang shi, Madam, you are so experienced and thoughtful . We should always learn from you . Shestared at Wang shi while speaking in a sincere tone and with an earnest look . That was something Minglan had been accustomed to do . No matter how ridiculous Wang shis words sounded, Minglan wasalwaysable to agree with her firmly without blinking an eye .

Wang shi covered her mouthwhilesmiling . Then, in order to show her modesty, she then changed a subject, Speaking of your Eldest Sister, Ivisitedher a few days ago . Shes still very slim but inhigh spiritslately .
Thats great . Last time I saw Eldest Sister, I found her so thin that the clothes on her seemed so large . Minglan said worriedly, not knowing if her plan had worked .
Wang shi, with a gloating look, said joyfully, Ha ha! Now Old Madam Yuan is busy enough with her own affairs . Your Eldest Sisters life is much easier than before . She also said that she missed you a lot . If you are not busy, who dont you go visit her?
Busyenough with her own affairs? What happened in Yuans family? Minglans heart suddenly beat fast . Now she felt both excited and anxious .
Wang shi was about to speakwhenOld Madam Sheng suddenly coughedloudly . Then Wang shi suddenly realized that it was not appropriate for her to gossip about the elders of another family in frontofthe young girls . Hai shi reacted very fast by saying right away, Its nothing . Lately Old Master Yuan marrieda new concubine . Old Madam Yuan was only afraid that this new concubine didnt know all the rules and couldnt take care of Old Master Yuan . So Old Madam Yuan has been busy with lecturing the new concubine . See, what a perfect speech!Mrs . Wang, you still had so many things to learn .
Then, Minglan acted as if it was the first time she had heard of that and replied slowly, Well . . . Hurray!
Although it was mean to bring a concubine to a family, it was still a right thing to protect her own sister . Since that old woman always tortured Hualan and had almost sent a team of women to Hualans husband, Minglan felt it was not wrong to let that evil womanhavethesame experience asHualan . She deserved it! Minglan didntfeelguiltyat all .
. . . Old Madam Yuan truly is a good wife . Minglan said that with an innocent look in her eyes .
Old Madam Sheng looked at Minglan with a meaningful look, which made Minglan feel a bituneasyall of a sudden . Then she blushed and lowered her head .

After Quan was put on the Ocean Bed, he kept fiddling with the jade ring which had been threaded byared ribbon in front of his chest . First, he put one of his fingers in the ring,andthere was still lots of space . Then he put two fingers,andthere was still lots of room . At last, he reachedout his chubby fist and put four of his fingers into the ring . Whoa, then his little hand was stuck in the ring! The ancient jade was smooth, so he didnt feel hurt . However, after he had swung his little arms and pulled the ringadozenof times, he still failed to take it off . Then he raised his fist and slipped into Old Madam Shengs arms to ask for help .
Old Madam Shengcomforted him and took the ring off his hand slowly . Right at this moment, a maidoutside reported in a loud voice, Old Master and Third Master are back .
All the women except Old Madam Shengstood up and gave obeisance when Sheng Hong and Changfeng enteredthe room in tandem .
Seeing that, Quan hummed loudly and cheerfully on Old Madam Shengs shoulder andspreadhis short arms to Sheng Hong .
Sheng Hong, this middle-agedman who got a bit portly lately,wassoftened the moment he saw his grandson . After he had given obeisance to Old Madam Sheng, he held Quan in his arms at once with a smile . Then he, having sat on the seat beside the bed, put the chubby boy on his knees and started to play with his grandson .
Gl, glandpa! The boy still couldnt utter words clearly . However, he was good at grabbing his grandpas beard .
Oh! My cute boy! Sheng Hong laughed joyfully and let the boy grab his beard .
Old Madam Sheng was still holding the jade ring . Seeing Sheng Hong and Quan being so intimate as if they hadnt seen each other for hundreds of years, Old Madam Sheng found that funny but also annoying . Then she taunted, You ungrateful boy!

Sheng Hong chuckled while still holding Quan in his arms . Quan kissed over half of Sheng Hongs face with his arms around Sheng Hongs neck . Wang shi said smilingly, No wonderthey saykidsare all close to their grandparents!
After all, Sheng Hongs daughter and daughter-in-law werestill in the hall, so he couldnt play with his grandson all the time . After a while, he passed Quan to the wet nurse .
Old Madam Sheng said to Hai shi, This boy wont stay quiet if he doesnt run aroundoutside . Todays weather is fine, you can take him outside and let him play for a while .
Hai shi answered in a gentle voice . The plump boy who was in the wet nurses arms was quite clever and seemed to understand Old Madam Shengs words . As his wet nurse bent over, he stretched his legs and stepped on the ground steadily . After that, he jumped to the outside cheerfully . Then a few maids and servants followed him right away .
Hai shi felt ill at ease and apologized right away, This child is so undisciplined . . .
Doesnt matter! Sheng Hong watched his grandson walking outsmilingly and waved hishand, Its good for a little boy to be energetic . No matterwhetherhe will bea scholar or be in the troops, he always needs to have a strong body .
Thats right . Old Madam Sheng felt pleased inwardly, but still said on purpose, As long as hes strong enough, we dont need to worry if his father will beat him! I hope hes not like his Sixth Aunt, who couldnt even stand being hit on the palms .
Grandma! Minglan felt embarrassed right away and said, You, you, it was just once, please dont mentionthat . . .
