After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 121 Follow-up
The last sentence is the key to truly persuading Zhu.

“Yes, you’re right. I can’t give them an excuse to take a concubine. But I still need to hurry up and get pregnant and have a child. If I delay any longer, I’m afraid the Zhu family will have to send my husband a concubine.”

This is what Zhu cannot accept the most.

With Rulan's comforting words, Zhu gradually calmed down, but her jealousy and hatred towards Cuilan gradually became twisted.

At this moment, Cuilan was unaware that her secret was known to almost everyone who needed to know it. She was still throwing tantrums because she had lost her child. When she saw Su Chuan, who had been beaten black and blue by Young Master Bai, she felt no remorse whatsoever, but rather a sense of schadenfreude and satisfaction.

"It seems the young master still cares about me. Su Chuan, don't be so smug! Even if I lose my child, I'm not someone you can covet!" This was a warning, and also a reminder to Su Chuan.

Su Chuan looked at her indifferently, a fleeting look of disgust and pity in his eyes. "Don't worry, I'm not interested in other people's worn-out shoes."

"Hmph! What are you? You're just a lackey of the young master. Whether you can have women or not is up to the young master. How dare you criticize me? Don't you even know if you're qualified?" Cuilan was furious and her words became increasingly harsh.

Su Chuan did not argue with her; he simply came over for a token glance before going to his parents' side.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Su Chunsen sitting on the edge of the bed with his head drooping, sighing.

Su Chuan felt a pang of guilt and stepped forward to sit next to Su Chunsen. “Dad, don’t be sad. It’s better for everyone if that child is gone.”

"How could you say such a thing!" Su Chunsen glared angrily. "Cuilan has many flaws and isn't a good daughter-in-law, but at least she carried your child, a son. How could she just disappear like that?"

He still couldn't figure it out.

Su Chuan paused for a moment, then said, "Dad, don't worry, you'll definitely have the grandchildren you want this year, I promise."

"What guarantee do you have? I've heard that Cuilan will have a hard time having children in the future, and our family line is probably going to end!" As he spoke, Su Chunsen sadly shed tears.

When Madam Wan came in carrying the washed clothes, she couldn't help but sneer when she heard this: "You're just thinking nonsense! Our son is a blessed man, how could he possibly be childless! As for Cuilan, that unlucky woman, she definitely won't be able to give birth to my grandson!"
Alright, alright, stop nagging and annoying us, it's ruining our good mood!

Seeing his wife practically wearing the word "happy" on her face, Su Chunsen felt even more melancholy.

The next day, he drove the carriage to take Young Master Bai out on business. He was not only listless, but also exuded a deep sense of frustration and sadness that he couldn't fake.

Young Master Bai's suspicions lessened somewhat, but he still didn't give Su Chunsen's family a friendly look.

Su Sheng loaded a cart with his belongings and rushed back to Dongmen Village before dark. As soon as he entered his house, he couldn't wait to see his wife and children.

"Xiaoyu, something terrible has happened!" Su Sheng rushed to Su Yu with a frantic expression. After a while, he managed to stammer, "Your sister-in-law has miscarried, and the baby is gone!"

Su Yu suddenly stood up, unable to hide her joy, "Really? Who told you?"

"Huh?" Su Sheng was stunned, looking completely bewildered. "Aren't you worried?"

Su Yu tilted her head and chuckled, then retorted teasingly, "What am I worried about? You know what Cuilan did on New Year's Eve! Does she even deserve for me to call her sister-in-law? What a shameless person she is!"

Su Sheng scratched the back of his head. "That's true, but she's carrying your brother's bloodline. It's such a waste that she's gone." Su Yu shook her head. "Cui Lan's reputation isn't pure to begin with. Who knows whose child she has? Now that the child is gone, my brother won't have to be a sucker. Isn't that good? But what exactly happened? She valued that child so much, how could she let something happen to him? How are my parents?"

Su Sheng shook his head. "I don't know the specifics. I only know that my father-in-law and mother-in-law went to Wanfo Temple with the master that day, and my brother-in-law stayed with me all day. It wasn't until someone from the manor came that we found out your sister-in-law had an accident."

Su Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, her smile becoming even brighter. "That's good. Don't worry, it's alright. Look, in just two days, our son has gained a few more pounds. It's even hard for me to hold him and breastfeed him."

"Oh! That won't do!" When the topic turned to the child, Su Sheng immediately forgot all the other nonsense.

After seeing the child, she proudly displayed the pastries and snacks she had brought back, acting as if nothing had ever happened with Cuilan.

Taking the opportunity, Su Yu mentioned the fabric Su Tai had given her, "My cousin's husband is really capable. He got some thin cotton fabric, which I really like. When you have some free time tomorrow, go to Shenjiazhuang and ask my cousin to buy some spring and summer cotton fabric. Buy a lot, as I want to send some to my parents, older brother, and cousin Yunyun in the county town."

My parents are at the Bai residence, and they have specific requirements for their clothing, so we don't need too much. But we can prepare more for my cousin Yunyun. I remember she likes purple, so we could buy some purple, yellow, or cyan fabrics.

Su Sheng wrote them down one by one.

After resting for one night, he went to Shenjiazhuang the next day.

This was his first time visiting Shenjiazhuang, and he started asking about Shen Yi's family as soon as he arrived at the village entrance.

The villagers pointed to the most conspicuous high wall in the village and said, "That's Shen Yi's house."

Su Sheng's pupils dilated. After thanking him, he immediately drove the oxcart over and knocked on the door for a long time without getting anywhere.

Huang Xinghua, who was working nearby, saw this and ran over to shout, "Shen Yi has gone out on a boat. Only Shen Yi's wife is at home. You'll have to look for him in the evening or early morning."

Su Sheng turned around and smiled at Huang Xinghua, "I'm Shen Yi's wife's brother-in-law, so it's the same if you're looking for her. But I've been knocking for so long and no one's opened the door."

Huang Xinghua chuckled and stepped forward to pull the wooden stake. "That's how it is. Next time you come and pull this, the people inside will be able to hear the noise. Otherwise, with two doors, even if you bang your hands until they hurt, the people inside might not be able to hear you."

"Two doors?" Su Sheng was even more surprised.

As they were talking, the door opened, and Su Tai was somewhat surprised to see the person outside. "Brother-in-law? My cousin sent you to pick up the materials?"

Su Shengkuang nodded, "I just came back from the county town. Xiaoyu asked me to haul some fabric to my father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and cousin Yunyun. I couldn't stay idle, so I came over right away. Why is Shen Yi out on the boat? Doesn't he have any work to do in the fields?"

Su Tai looked at Huang Xinghua and chuckled, "I can't help with the work in the fields, and Shen Yi can't manage it all by himself, so let's find someone to help. He can sell some food on the way out of the boat."

"This is fine too."

Su Sheng tied the oxcart to the door.

Huang Xinghua said, "Go ahead and go in. We'll work nearby and keep an eye on things for you. You won't get lost."

"Thank you so much, elder sister!" Su Sheng thanked her again before following Su Tai into the courtyard.
