Chapter 406: Numb love is worse than sober pain

At that time, she also heard about this matter. Maybe because she was also a pregnant woman, she was more sensitive to such things.

Since I heard about this incident, I had nightmares for several days in a row. I dreamed that I had a difficult labor, which made me feel flustered when I woke up the next day.

Hualei, who was sitting on the side, felt distressed when she saw Zhenzhu's face change color obviously. She gently held Zhenzhu's hand, but Zhenzhu held Hualei's hand tighter in return.

After talking for a while, Lord Pei and Rong Jin took a few male relatives to the front yard. Gu went to the kitchen to make arrangements, and Feicui followed Feng to their own yard. Only Madam Pei, Agate Pearl and Hualei were left in Songhe Hall.

Seeing Zhenzhu's somewhat silent expression, several people knew that Zhenzhu must have been frightened by this incident. Mrs. Pei said a few words softly, comforting Zhenzhu not to worry, after all, such things only happen rarely.

Agate also carefully shared with Zhenzhu her own experiences of pregnancy and childbirth, and comforted Zhenzhu by saying that she had given birth to two children, and her sister Ruyi had also given birth to two children, and that everyone was safe and sound. This kind of thing is very similar between sisters, so Zhenzhu will definitely be fine too.

After hearing what Agate said, Pearl's expression looked a little better, but her slightly furrowed brows still showed that she was troubled.

Hualei patted Zhenzhu's hand and said softly, "Zhenzhu, besides this matter, are there other things that make you unhappy? Why do you always frown?"

Pearl turned her head silently to the outside.

"Pearl, just say whatever you want to say. You have always been direct and never hold anything back. Why don't you want to say it now?" Agate also advised.

"It's okay." Pearl said, but her eyes were slightly red.

"I'm tired of sitting here, so I'd like to go out for a walk. How about you sisters chat? Nanny Chen, let's go." Old Madam Pei was worried that if she just sat there, it would be difficult for Zhenzhu to speak, so she took Nanny Chen out.

There were only three people left in the house.

"Zhenzhu, go ahead and speak. If you are worried that Grandma Pei is worried, we can find an excuse to talk to her later. Okay?" Hualei advised.

After a long silence, Zhenzhu spoke with some embarrassment. It turned out that before the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Yunqi's mother brought two concubines into Jiang Yunqi's room.

One was originally a servant in Jiang Yunqi's room, and the other was a maid in her own room. This time, she was also given to Jiang Yunqi as a concubine. During this period, Jiang Yunqi often stayed overnight with the two concubines.

Pearl had a poor appetite and sleep in the early stages of her pregnancy, which made her feel tired. She was even more unhappy when she was given two concubines. So she couldn't rest well and often couldn't sleep at night.

Although I understand that it is only a matter of time before Jiang Yunqi gets a concubine. However, knowing is one thing, but when it really happens to me, the feeling is completely different. And during the pregnancy period, I am sensitive and have many thoughts.

In addition, Jiang Yunqi was very busy, so he went out very early in the morning and came back after dark. Sometimes he had to go out for shifts or social events at night, so he might come back even later.

It was unknown whether Jiang Yunqi was worried that if he came back late, he would wake up Zhenzhu in her room, which would make her rest worse. Or whether it was because the two concubines were so fresh and lovely that he could not stop.

So, sometimes, when he came back late at night, he would go directly to his concubine's place. This made Zhenzhu, who had been waiting for Jiang Yunqi in the room for a whole day, even more angry and unable to sleep.

After hearing what Pearl said, Agate and Flower Bud sighed at the same time. This kind of thing really makes people depressed. However, in the Great Sheng Dynasty, it happened as a matter of course.

According to the previous life, a man who cheated on his wife during her pregnancy was the least forgivable. But here, a wife's pregnancy was a legitimate excuse or a good opportunity for a man to take a concubine. Many mothers-in-law did this.

Agate patted Pearl's hand and comforted her, saying that this was a very normal thing, although her mother-in-law was a little too much by giving her son two babies at once.

But no matter how unhappy she was, she had to let it go. Taking good care of herself and her children was the most important thing. After all, she had gone through the same thing herself. Only those who had experienced it knew the pain.

Hualei took the cup of honey water in front of her, handed it to Zhenzhu, and asked, "Have you told him about these things? For example, even if he comes back late, do you want him to come and see you?"

Pearl shook her head. Agate on the side couldn't help but laugh at Hualei and said, "Sister Hua, you can't say that. If you say it once or twice, men may not listen to you. But if you say it too much, your in-laws will say you are jealous."

Hualei shook her head and said, "I don't think so, Zhenzhu, you can find some time to talk to Master Jiang about what you are thinking.

For example, he will come back a certain time ago, and you want him to come to your room to see you. Even if he doesn't stay overnight, you should let him know that you want to see him and the children want to see him too.

Or, you can tell him what you want to eat and ask him to bring you something when he comes back at night. This is not your jealousy, but your need, which is a normal psychological need of a wife and a pregnant woman.

Of course, if you say it, he may not be able to do it, but if you don't say it, he has no idea what you are thinking, let alone how to do it. Over time, the two of you will unknowingly become distant. This will easily lead to problems. "

Zhenzhu looked at Hualei and asked, "Sister Hua, if I don't tell him and he doesn't do it, I might find an excuse to help him out. What if I tell him and he still can't do it, then won't I be even more desperate?"

Hua Lei nodded and said, "You are right to worry, but you have only been married for two years, you may not know Mr. Jiang yet, and Mr. Jiang may not know you very well.

So you may not know what the other person needs or what the other person is thinking. Think about it, is this possible? "

Zhenzhu nodded involuntarily. She still didn't know much about Jiang Yunqi's specific preferences. Apart from knowing that he didn't like lotus seed porridge, she didn't know anything else.

"So, think about it, you still have a long life ahead of you. Do you want to just keep trying to figure out his thoughts and him trying to figure out your thoughts, without either of you getting anywhere? Taking detours like this is a waste of your time.

Mr. Jiang is extremely busy with his work, getting up early and working late. You two don't have much time to spend together. If you keep taking detours like this, when will you two understand each other's thoughts?

Therefore, it is better for you to tell him your demands directly. If he can do it, you will have less trouble. If he can't do it, it is much better than waiting and suspecting hopelessly every day.

Think about it, isn't this the truth? I think that numb love is worse than sober pain.
