After sharing a body with her husband

Xie Residence.

Shang Lingjun was lying on the couch reading a storybook, with a sliced ​​pear on her silver fork. She took a bite, and the juice burst in her mouth.

"Mmm~ Delicious!"

At this moment, Liang's mother pushed open the door and came in. She said:

"Madam, the First Madam has arrived, and she has brought Chunxing with her."

Shang Lingjun put down her silver fork, momentarily unable to recall who she was.

Who is Chunxing?

"It's that pregnant concubine in Young Master Heng's courtyard, Aunt Chun."

"oh."

It was her.

Shang Lingjun put down her storybook and prepared to get up to greet the person. She had never met Chunxing before, so she wanted to see what kind of person Chunxing was.

Since she was Xie Hengzhi's concubine, she must be quite good, right?

Murong brought Chunxing into the house, accompanied by Granny Sun.

"Lingjun, I brought you some nourishing bird's nest, it'll help your wound heal. How are you? Does the wound still hurt?"

Murong's face showed genuine concern; anyone who saw her elder sister-in-law would have nothing but praise for her.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, thank you so much for your concern, sister-in-law. You always think of me like this. Please sit down, Aunt Liang, go and cut two more fruit platters!"

Lord Shang Ling gave the instructions.

"Yes!" Mother Liang responded, and immediately ordered someone to cut it.

Chunxing's face was beaming with a warm smile.

"This servant greets the Seventh Madam. She was so worried about you being injured!"

Shang Lingjun then took a closer look at Chunxing. Chunxing was charming and had a smiling face. She seemed quite friendly towards Shang Lingjun, but...

However, Shang Lingjun noticed a shrewdness and calculation in her eyes.

She was used to believing in physiognomy and sensed that this woman's personality was frivolous and restless.

I don't know if it's just my imagination...

But Shang Lingjun still greeted her.

"Please sit down, please sit down. You are now the 'golden nugget' in your sister-in-law's room, so we can't be careless with you."

Upon hearing this, Chunxing's smile widened, and a hint of smugness flashed in her eyes. She swayed as she sat down.

"Seventh Madam, you are such a kind person."

Shang Lingjun smiled.

Murong's purpose in coming here was simply to inquire about Shang Lingjun and to bring Chunxing along for a chance to make an appearance.

"You really are a lucky woman, Seventh Madam. Your injury has worried the matriarch terribly, causing quite a stir throughout the manor. She even sent a maidservant to protect you personally, which shows how much she values ​​you!"

As Chunxing was speaking, a maid brought over a fruit plate. Chunxing was about to pick up the silver fork when she saw the fruit on the plate, so she withdrew her hand and said apologetically:

"Seventh Madam, these pears are too cooling. I am pregnant and must avoid them."

That wasn't wrong, but Shang Lingjun had overlooked it. She quickly gave her maid a meaningful look.

"Go and exchange them for some cantaloupes and plums."

"Yes."

The maidservant took the fruit plate and left.

Chunxing glanced at Shang Lingjun's expression and said earnestly:

"Thank you for your understanding, Seventh Madam. The child in my womb is indeed your child; it is a blessing for this child!"

Shang Lingjun was taken aback, looking at Murong Shi with a puzzled expression. Murong Shi's expression changed for a moment, then she smiled and said:

"Sigh! I was talking about this with Aunt Sun the other day, and Chunxing, with her sharp ears, overheard. Anyway, I figured it was bound to happen sooner or later, so it doesn't matter!"

Shang Lingjun looked somewhat embarrassed, but quickly concealed it.

She didn't agree to the relationship at the time, only saying that she would "consider" it if she couldn't have a biological child.

Unexpectedly, her elder sister-in-law had already confirmed the matter, and even Chunxing herself knew about it...

This is really a bit awkward.

Murong noticed that Shang Lingjun was in a bad mood, frowned and gave Chunxing a wink.

Chunxing's eyes showed a hint of panic. She had no idea what she had said wrong, so she could only smile even more eagerly at Madam Qi, with a touch of ingratiation.

"This servant is clumsy with words, and a person's mind becomes a little dull when they are pregnant. If this servant has said something wrong, I hope that Seventh Madam will forgive me."

"What nonsense!"

Shang Lingjun shook her head. "I was just thinking that as the weather gets warmer, Chunxing's appetite will probably decrease even more, but I don't know if pregnant women can eat chilled plum juice?"

Chunxing covered her lips with her handkerchief and teased softly:

"Wouldn't that freeze the child? Seventh Madam, you're quite the joker!"

Shang Yaojun: "..."

"Am I humorous...?" she asked Huo Chuan in her mind.

Huo Chuan hissed, unsure how to reply. "She's quite humorous."

Shang Lingjun hesitated for a moment, then spoke the truth:

[Why do I feel like she's not quite right in the head? I never expected Xie Hengzhi's concubine to be like this. Will her child inherit her intelligence? If so, I don't want it.]

Huo Chuan chuckled, amused.

Shang Lingjun exchanged pleasantries with the Murong family and their daughters-in-law for a long time before finally seeing them off, especially Chunxing, this "living Buddha."

Shang Lingjun breathed a sigh of relief, but remained puzzled.

"My elder sister-in-law is a very tactful and agreeable person. How could she have chosen such a concubine for Heng-ge'er?"

Shang Lingjun trusted Liang's mother, so she said this to her without any hesitation.

Mother Liang saw through Shang Lingjun's thoughts.

"Does Madam dislike Chunxing?"

Shang Lingjun shook her head, "I really don't like her. She seems restless and not like an honest and upright person. If I really adopt her child, who knows what kind of trouble she might cause in the future."

Since it's an adoption, the child's biological parents shouldn't try to get any attention; the child belongs entirely to her.

If they keep trying to cultivate a relationship in front of the child, then Shang Lingjun would rather never adopt a child than invite such trouble upon herself.

Her brow furrowed slightly, and she hesitated, pursing her lips:

"Actually... if you want to adopt a child from the first wife's family, this kind of trouble is unavoidable. Since they all live in the same house, you're bound to encounter various problems..."

Mrs. Liang nodded.

"This old servant understands what Madam means. Madam's thinking is right. Since it's adoption, let's be decisive and clean! Lingering ties are just too unpleasant."

Hearing that Liang's mother had completely expressed Shang Lingjun's innermost thoughts, a smile bloomed on her lips.

"My mother understands me better and better now."

At this moment, the maid who delivered the message rushed over.

"Madam, the Old Madam requests your immediate presence at Rongfu Hall!"

Shang Lingjun's expression changed slightly. Her mother-in-law must have something urgent to tell her, given how anxious she was!

Could it be that the person behind the mad cow attack case has been identified?

Thinking of this, Shang Lingjun did not delay and immediately went straight to Rongfu Pavilion.

……

Rongfu Pavilion.

Old Madam Wei's face was grim and terrifying; the occasional flashes of resentment and murderous intent made Granny Qiu tremble with fear.

Granny Qiu quickly poured a cup of cold tea and brought it over.

"Grandma, please have some herbal tea to cool down. Please don't get angry; the entire Xie family and Seventh Master are counting on you!"

Old Madam Wei raised her hand and knocked a cup of cold tea to the ground!

"Bastard! Bastard!!"

Old Madam Wei was so angry that she trembled all over.

As soon as Shang Lingjun arrived, she heard the sound of a teacup shattering, followed by Old Madam Wei's anger. Her expression turned serious, and she quickly went inside...
