However, others didn't share the same sentiments. Ding Yuehua's mother-in-law was especially difficult to get along with and would speak ill of her behind her back, especially regarding her inability to conceive. If they lived together, it would surely lead to conflicts.
Apart from her mother-in-law, there was also a grandmother who wanted to join in the commotion. After Ding Yuehua and Third Young Master Fan separated from the family, they bought a house not far from Fenghuai Street, not too far from where Shu Yu lived. At that time, the grandmother wanted to move in with them from the suburban villa.
But Ding Yuehua knew that this grandmother was abusive towards Xian Huan, so she refused to let her come over.
As a result, the grandmother became displeased and would occasionally find Third Young Master Fan, saying that there were no elderly people at home to take care of them, and that the young couple didn't know anything. Since Ding Yuehua couldn't conceive, Third Young Master Fan should take a concubine to ensure that he had heirs. This infuriated Ding Yuehua.
Shu Yu thought that it would be even more difficult for Ding Yuehua to get pregnant under such upsetting circumstances.
But now, Ah Ning mentioned that Ding Yuehua seemed to have conceived. However, her pregnancy didn't seem to be very stable, as Ah Ning and Doctor Zhao witnessed the maidservant asking Zhao Xi to come and take a look. Since Zhao Xi had other matters to attend to, Ah Ning and Doctor Zhao went instead. Doctor Zhao advised Ding Yuehua not to get angry and to pay attention to her diet, and he personally prepared some medicine for her. Currently, Ding Yuehua's own mother was there to take care of her.
Shu Yu frowned, thinking that Ding Yuehua's pregnancy was indeed a roller-coaster journey.
"Second Sister, are you going back to the county tomorrow?" Ah Ning asked.
Shu Yu nodded. "Yes, are you coming back with me?"
Ah Ning twisted her eyebrows, looking conflicted.
After a while, she sighed and said, "No, I'll stay with Master for a few more days. Can I sleep with you tonight, and you can send me back to the Tan family tomorrow?"
"Sure." Shu Yu ruffled her hair, and the little girl smiled happily.
Later that night, Meng Yunzheng returned.
Shu Yu glanced at him and saw him shake his head.
She looked surprised as she knew what Meng Yunzheng went to do.
Meng Yunzheng had sent a letter to Jingcheng about the abnormal activities of the Changjin Prefecture slaves market, and they were waiting for a reply from Qi Lie.
From the look of it, Qi Lie's letter hadn't arrived yet?
Since there was no news from Jingcheng, all they could do was continue waiting.
Later in the evening, Ah Ning was indeed excited to crawl into Shu Yu's bed, unable to sleep and chattering away.
Taking the opportunity, Shu Yu asked her, "Ah Ning, has the culprit who poisoned Young master Tan been found?"
The little girl leaned against Shu Yu's shoulder, shaking her head, and her soft hair brushed against Shu Yu's chin.
"No, Master said that Master Tan made a great effort to investigate and found out that one of the household stewards was involved. That steward was responsible for killing the servants who used to serve Young master Tan and the assistant chef in the kitchen. However, that steward also died and didn't reveal who gave him the poison."
