Chapter 11: Understanding Success
There was innocence in her words, and she stretched out her hand to hold the third lady in distress: "My aunt feels sorry for me, and I naturally feel sorry for her too."
"Besides, I thought about it. No matter how much my aunt can help me solve the problem, I will eventually get married. If I get married, I won't be able to help my aunt..."
She looked at the third lady, her eyes full of prayer, but now how could the third lady have time to cheat? Get a few people to accompany Jiang Ruohua and fool around?
Without Jiang Ruohua as a springboard, how can her daughter establish a relationship with the royal family?
The third lady was indeed exhausted mentally and physically from all the hard work she had to do. In addition, she happened to encounter her aunt's pregnancy at this time, which added one more thing. Jiang Ruohua's proposal was completely normal, as any junior who feels sorry for their elders would do.
"This..." The third lady hesitated, "Hua'er, there are a lot of things in this house, and many of them cannot be mastered in a short while. Why don't you wait until after these times, and Aunt will take you to familiarize yourself with them?"
"Being a manager is also a skill. Before you get married, aunt will teach you well. Now that you have this intention, aunt is very satisfied. What's more, you have injured your foot and have some inconvenience in your movements. Let's talk about it later. Bar."
Jiang Ruohua listened, pretending to be slightly aggrieved and lowered his head: "Okay...it turns out to be so complicated. I just thought that if I could do something to help, it would make it easier for my aunt."
Having said that, she was neither discouraged nor impatient. How could the third lady be exposed by her words? She smiled again and waved to Hua Chan.
"Auntie, I brought something for my aunt." Jiang Ruohua took the things from Hua Chan and happily brought them to Aunt Yuan and said, "I heard from the old ladies in the house that it is very hard for pregnant women to eat alone. For two people, it must be hard for my aunt to be pregnant with my brother. I happened to get some supplements a year ago, so I gave them to my aunt."
Aunt Yuan was sitting on the bed. She looked really haggard. She was vomiting violently and her smile seemed a little forced: "Thank you so much, miss."
"You don't have to be polite, aunt, but you have to take good care of her and give birth to a healthy boy!"
There is nothing wrong with each of these words. They are words that an innocent girl would say, but they are undoubtedly poking at the chest of the third lady, making her feel irritated.
"I remember these were all given to eldest sister by her maternal grandfather's family many years ago, right?" Jiang Ruoting stood aside with a smile and said, "Auntie is so lucky. What eldest sister brought out must be the best. This little brother will be born fat and white if his big sister cares about him."
Aunt Yuan thanked her one by one, and everyone gathered around her belly, seeming to be full of expectations for this little life.
"That's right." Jiang Ruoting said to Jiang Ruohua in a close manner, "Since the eldest sister likes the younger brother in aunt's belly so much, why don't mother let the eldest sister take care of my aunt? It's hard to be pregnant, and the fifth sister is still young. You are sensible, the eldest sister is the most stable, and you can help your mother share some of the burden, how about that? "
Jiang Ruohua's eyes lit up when he heard this: "This is a good idea! It's the second sister who has the best idea. Auntie, what do you think? Why don't you let me try it!"
Aunt Yuan hurriedly shied away: "I don't dare, I don't dare. I have a humble status. How can I bother the eldest lady to take care of me!"
"You two are making trouble again." The third lady glanced at the two of them, "Girl, how do you know about childbirth? Aunt Yuan has given birth before, so don't make any more trouble here. Even if I like my brother, I can’t be like this.”
"Auntie, you're not messing around." Jiang Ruohua said expectantly, "It's auntie who knows this herself. I only need what she needs. All I do is help auntie make arrangements. The most important thing is the little brother in auntie's belly. I look forward to it." Now, my aunt will obey me! Besides, I have a maid to take care of me, so this foot injury won’t affect me.”
"Mother, please agree. You have been working really hard these days, and my daughter is really distressed to see it." Jiang Ruoting turned around and walked to the third lady and begged, "What's more, there are servants here, and there are experienced old ladies in the house. The eldest sister is worried about her mother, but she also wants to share her worries, right? "
One to the left and one to the right, the third lady was defeated: "Okay, okay, I really can't do anything to you."
After a lot of instructions, the people in the courtyard dispersed. Jiang Ruohua was really good at what he did. He also asked people to change the beds to comfortable ones, and replaced the incense from the incense burner with something that Aunt Yuan could smell comfortable. Then there were the food and drinks. Anti-fetal medicine.
Aunt Yuan was sitting upright, feeling uneasy as a concubine had to be taken care of by the eldest lady in the mansion.
I thought I could hide it for a while, but I didn't want to be knocked out by this young lady.
Jiang Ruoqi looked on. She was young, a head shorter than Jiang Ruohua, and seemed a little timid.
"I asked someone to bring some snacks and preserves. Auntie will use the anti-fetal medicine later. After drinking it, eat some to get rid of the bitterness." Jiang Ruohua said with a smile, "There are also things that Fifth Sister likes to eat. Let's use some together."
"Thank you, Miss, for taking the trouble." Aunt Yuan smiled.
"Then have a good rest, aunt. If anything happens, please remember to tell me."
"Miss, please walk slowly." Aunt Yuan bowed carefully, her body was obviously heavy, and then said, "Miss Wu, please give me a gift."
The little Jiang Ruoqi nodded and walked to the door with Jiang Ruohua.
"I'll give eldest sister a ride." Jiang Ruoqi stood beside her and looked at Jiang Ruohua.
"Hmm." Jiang Ruohua's eyes curved. The Jiang family was not large, and since the grandfather, there had been no deliberate distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. The first and second houses were sparsely populated, but the sisters had always been close. "Fifth sister, do you eat well on weekdays? I see that you have lost a lot of weight, but don't care about beauty and not take care of your body."
Jiang Ruoqi pursed her lips and nodded: "Thank you for your concern, elder sister."
"Why should we be polite to each other?" Jiang Ruohua conveyed her kindness to her, "It just so happens that I still have some egg custard and fish fillet soup warming on the stove, with a few seasonal vegetables and side dishes. I can't use them all by myself. Fifth sister, take some back. By the way, there are some newly made pastries. I thought it would be appetizing and delicious in the summer. Now I think Aunt Yuan should also like it. Take more."
Jiang Ruoqi subconsciously wanted to refuse, but still nodded. Jiang Ruohua looked at her with sincerity, and no one could refuse.
Jiang Ruohua lived a little far from the east courtyard of the third room, and all the food was prepared in the kitchen of the second room, so whatever she wanted to eat was cooked in the kitchen, and she could always see something different from the third room.
She generously packed a lot for Jiang Ruoqi to take back, and the maids beside Jiang Ruoqi held a lot of food boxes in their hands. When she went back, Jiang Ruoqi turned around and said, "Big sister is so good to Qi'er, can I come again in the future?"
"Of course, why should we be polite to each other?" Jiang Ruohua touched her head, "Go back quickly, it's getting dark, and your aunt will be worried about you. If you need anything, just tell me, I'm your big sister."
