Chapter 1507 A Good Daughter-in-Law Who Cultivates Both Inner and Outer Beauty
"How is Mu Ning?" The third wife stood at the door of the eldest son's house, knocked on the door, and then went in.
Zhuang Shiyuan stood up, and Mu Ning quickly sat up as well.
"She's fine, just feeling lazy," Zhuang Shiyuan said with a smile. "Why did you come up here?"
"I came up to check on her, thinking she wasn't feeling well." The third wife was watching from the bedside. Mu Ning smiled and called out "Mom," then covered her face a little shyly and said, "I'm fine, I just really want to sleep until tomorrow."
The third wife sat down by the bed and touched her forehead. Her forehead was a little warm, but since she had just gotten out of bed, it wasn't a big problem, so the third wife was relieved.
"You must tell me if you're not feeling well. This is a crucial time for you, okay?"
Mu Ning nodded, "I know, I'm very careful not to get sick, Mom, don't worry."
"You're a child I trust very much, so I believe in you," the third wife said with a smile. "Have you had breakfast?"
"I've already eaten." Mu Ning pointed to the empty plate. The Third Madam glanced at it, then patted the back of Mu Ning's hand and said, "If you're tired and don't want to move, just lie down. You can watch a movie, read a book, or even take a nap. If you want anything to eat, just call and have the servants bring it to you. Remember, if you suffer, you're making the children suffer, okay?"
"Understood," Mu Ning replied.
After the third wife left, Zhuang Shiyuan stepped forward, sat back down on the bed, and took Mu Ning's hand. "I'm going to Hainan tomorrow. I can only stay with you for a week. You have to come back early. If you can stay with the third wife while I'm gone, then stay with her. With her there, you'll be fine."
"That sounds like an exaggeration," Mu Ning said, her eyebrows furrowed, looking rather frightening.
"No, just remember that you should stay by Mom's side and not leave her side for a moment, so I can feel at ease. Do you understand?" Zhuang Shiyuan said softly.
Mu Ning nodded. "I know what you're worried about, but you might be overthinking it. Miss Bai is actually a very nice person."
"The danger isn't just her; there are many other factors involved. In short, just listen to me," Zhuang Shiyuan said solemnly.
When he speaks seriously, she usually listens quietly and takes careful notes.
Zhuang Shiyuan held Mu Ning in his arms, and Mu Ning rested her chin on Zhuang Shiyuan's shoulder. "Being pregnant feels so wonderful. It's like everyone is revolving around me."
I wonder if this will upset the other woman, after all, Bai Xin'ai also gave birth to a grandson for the Zhuang family. But Bai Xin'ai didn't receive any care from the Zhuang family during her pregnancy and childbirth.
In fact, Zhuang Shiyuan's concerns were not unfounded; even she herself had some lingering worries. Things were different now; they were living under the same roof every day. After Bai Xin'ai pushed her before, it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn't do something else.
Mu Ning has been reluctant to go downstairs these days, partly because she's genuinely lazy, and partly because she's somewhat afraid to face Bai Xin'ai.
It's not that I feel guilty; there are various reasons.
Zhuang Shiyuan chuckled softly, "If I could, I'd want the whole world to revolve around you."
"Zhuang Shiyuan, aren't you going to work yet?" Mu Ning asked softly.
Zhuang Shiyuan nodded, "Okay, I'm leaving now. Call me if you miss me. Also, don't come out to pick me up this afternoon, it's cold outside. You can get sick from being in the cold."
"it is good."
Zhuang Shiyuan brought the tray downstairs, while Mu Ning was reading in bed. Early pregnancy symptoms weren't severe for her. Mu Ning was a dutiful pregnant woman; she listened to all the doctor's advice and followed all the rules to avoid. In the early stages of her pregnancy, apart from feeling a bit depressed during the three months when Zhuang Shiyuan wasn't home, she was generally fine.
Even if a third party appears, being able to stand up for her husband and deal with the rival makes her quite happy in retrospect.
Few couples can be as honest with Zhuang Shiyuan as they are with her. Even the third wife remained silent for a long time after hearing about Zhuang Shiyuan's actions before sighing that if all men in the world could be as honest as Shiyuan, how many loving couples could avoid the torment of separation?
Mu Ning went downstairs for a walk at noon and greeted Bai Xin'ai. To Mu Ning's surprise, Bai Xin'ai greeted her politely as "sister-in-law." Mu Ning didn't react for a moment and only realized it later.
So, has Bai Xin'ai compromised with life?
Or was it that she only married Zhuang Shijue so hastily in order to get closer to Zhuang Shiyuan?
Regardless of the specific reasons, this sudden wedding shocked everyone. Perhaps only Mu Ning would care about Bai Xin'ai's motives for doing this.
Mu Ning looked at Bai Xin'ai as she entered the room and smiled helplessly. Why couldn't she just offer her blessings to Zhuang Shijue on his wedding day instead of worrying about whether her own relationship and marriage would be threatened? People are indeed selfish; they think of themselves first.
In the afternoon, someone came to visit. In Zhuangjia, it's not unusual for guests to visit every day of the year, 365 days a year. There are always people visiting for one reason or another.
Both wives were present, and Mu Ning also made a rare appearance.
"Come sit down for a while, it's stuffy staying in the house for too long." When the third wife saw Mu Ning coming over, she immediately stopped the wife who was talking and then said to her eldest daughter-in-law.
As the third wife spoke, the maidservant quickly stepped forward to help Mu Ning.
"These are your father-in-law's business friends, Mrs. Yu and her daughter-in-law," the third wife introduced simply.
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Yu." Mu Ning greeted her with a smile, then looked at Mrs. Yu's daughter-in-law with a smile and nodded slightly as a greeting.
Mrs. Yu's smile froze for a moment when she looked at Mu Ning. The Zhuang family's standards for choosing a daughter-in-law... were quite different, weren't they? The second young mistress of the Zhuang family was practically a beauty one in a hundred, but the eldest young mistress of the Zhuang family...
"Oh my, Third Madam, you are so lucky! The eldest young mistress has given birth to a woman with a face that brings good fortune to her husband." Could Madam Yu not see that the Third Madam's attitude towards the eldest young mistress was different from that towards the second young mistress? Such praise, which was just right, came out of her mouth immediately.
Mu Ning was slightly taken aback; it was the first time she had ever heard someone praise her like that.
Upon hearing this, the third wife's eyes lit up. She looked at Mu Ning and said with a smile, "This child is blessed. She's still studying and is very studious, which is a good thing. It's very helpful for women to study more in the future in terms of being a good wife and mother."
"That's right. The Zhuang family's standards for choosing a daughter-in-law have set a standard for us mothers-in-law. There are plenty of beautiful women, but a woman who can be a daughter-in-law of a wealthy family can't just be a pretty face. She has to be both beautiful inside and out. A daughter-in-law who can't present herself well will only bring shame to her husband's family," Mrs. Yu quickly added.
