Chapter 450 - 450: A Blessing, Not a Curse

Translator: 549690339

Madam Xie had invited a few imperial physicians, but none of them had recovered. However, even though they had not recovered, she could not stop taking the medicine. She only asked Madam Cai which one was better and continued to use it. Usually, no matter what expensive medicine or tonics, they would also send them to the Cai family.

But Cai only saw food and did not see good.

When Xiao Baoxin saw that she had lost so much weight before they met again, his cheeks were sunken, and his face was sallow and haggard, tears fell from his eyes.

When he realized that he shouldn’t have lost his composure, it was too late to hide it.

She didn’t know if it was her imagination or her innate skill, but the closer she got to Cai Shi, the more lifeless she felt. It was so heavy that she couldn’t breathe.

Mrs. Cai sat on the couch, silent.

Seeing that Xiao Baoxin had come to the peddle, his face revealed an unconcealable joy. He suddenly became angry again.

“Why are you here? Didn’t I tell you to take good care of your baby and not come over?”

He was afraid that he would give it to her.

How could Xiao Baoxin not know what was good for him?”Isn’t it because I haven’t seen sister-in-law for a long time and miss you? Coincidentally, Sanniang was returning home today, so I came along the way. Is sister-in-law’s body much better?”

Mrs. Cai ignored her and told the maids beside her to open the windows and doors to let the air pass.

“This room smells like medicine. Don’t choke you. Besides, what kind of illness am I suffering from?”

“Brother-in-law’s heart aches for you. If he knows that you’re here, he’ll probably blame me for not knowing the big picture.”Madam Cai pointed at the maid and asked Xiao Baoxin to sit on the embroidered stooL’Tt’s settled. Let’s sit and take a look before leaving. You have a body now, but it’s not like before.” She sighed.” In the past, your body was as strong as an ox, but I wasn’t afraid of provoking you.”

Xiao Baoxin was speechless. Should she thank Ms. Cai for thinking so much about her and be afraid that she would get better after her illness, or should she be angry and say that she was as strong as an ox?

“Sister-in-law, who said that my aunt is like a cow…”

“You said that I look like a cow, so the one in my stomach must be a calf too. Don’t open the window. It’s getting cold, so Aunty won’t catch a cold.”As she spoke, she ordered the maids to quickly close the doors and windows. She was afraid that this trip would make Madam Cai sick again.

Madam Cai refused to budge and pushed her back and forth. The maid was also helpless. She looked at Madam Xie behind her with a gratified face.

She was gratified that Xiao Baoxin and Cai Sister-in-law were giving in to each other modestly and were thinking of each other. Looking at these two people now, who would have thought that they would fight like crows previously? However, she didn’t want to give her illness to Xiao Baoxin. She couldn’t bear to part with an adult, let alone the child in her stomach.

She only asked the maid to open the window and put a few more clothes on Lady Cai’s body, as well as a thick layer of quilt.

Mrs. Cai was speechless. She would not be sick for long, but looking at her posture, she was going to be crushed to death today.

Her mother-in-law had good intentions, but her body was weak and she really couldn’t take it.” Take it down quickly. I still want to live for two more days–” She shouted out all the words in her heart.

Xiao Baoxin couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Sister-in-law doesn’t just want to live for two more days.”

Mrs. Cai sneered.” I used to think that you had bad eyes and bad hands. You could tell that I had a long life. I don’t know if I was wrong or if you were wrong.””

[Xiao Baoxin: Did Cai know that her days were numbered, so she completely let herself go?]

“Sister-in-law misjudged.” she said unhappily. “My eyes are beautiful. Hands… Look, her fingers are slender and tender like water onions.”

Madam Cai was laughing so hard that she was coughing out tears. The maids in the room tried to hold back their laughter and poured water for Madam Cai. She had never seen anyone look at a patient like this. Was he visiting her or was he talking about a two-man show here? He wanted to tease these maids to death.

Mrs. Cai knew that her aunt had always thought highly of herself. As expected, she did not hide it anymore.

However, to be able to be like this after marrying someone, it could only be said that her life in her in-laws ‘family was smooth sailing.

That’s right, such a handsome jade person, with a clear personality and the love of her husband, how could her in-laws dare to look down on her? Looking at the current Xiao Family’s situation, it was exactly like the sun at noon.

It was a pity that she was a person who had no fortune.

“Yes, I was wrong.” Mrs. Cai finally caught her breath and couldn’t help but smile until the corners of her mouth curled up to her ears. It was rare for her to be so happy.

When Madam Xie saw this, she only smiled.” You sisters-in-law can continue chatting. I don’t want to be bored and listen to your idle chatter.” I haven’t seen my grandchildren for half a day. I miss them so much.”

As he said that, he turned around and was about to leave. After a few steps, he turned around and said to Xiao Baoxin,

“It’s not early now. Don’t stay at home for too long, lest your in-laws are unhappy.”

It was obvious what Madam Xie was thinking. She didn’t want Xiao Baoxin to stay in the house for too long.

At this time, Madam Cai also knew that her mother-in-law would inevitably be confused when dealing with things, but her heart was very kind. Otherwise, if she stayed in the residence to recuperate, her mother-in-law would not be so anxious and angry. The imperial physicians invited one after another, sending all kinds of expensive herbs to her.

Moreover, she was also a mother. How could she not know how to love her children?

Madam Xie had always been protective of her children. Only her children were human. They were like little balls of meat. Others would feel that it was a waste of their expressions to even glance at them.

At this moment, when she was seriously ill, she wished that even she would not allow her daughter and son to come and see her. Madam Xie actually allowed Xiao Baoxin to come. Clearly, she treated her as her own daughter-in-law, and was even much better than her biological mother-in-law.

Thinking of her past actions, Mrs. Cai felt ashamed.

Almost six months?” Mrs. Cai looked at Xiao Baoxin’s belly from head to toe.” I heard from Mother that it’s a boy. Aunt is really lucky.””

Xiao Baoxin:” Everyone says so, but we’ll only know when she’s born.”

As for whether she was blessed or not, she really couldn’t say for sure.

This ‘zhen’ is a blessing, not a curse. If it’s a curse, it can’t be avoided.

“I haven’t had the chance to see sister-in-law since she came back…”

Even when they went to the Xie residence to avoid trouble, the two of them only exchanged a few words across the car.

“I have always wanted to see you, but your body is not convenient.”Madam Cai began to cry as she spoke,”If you can come and let me go today, I will have no regrets even if I die.”

“Why would sister-in-law say such a thing?”

“How can I not know my own body?””Madam Cai smiled bitterly. Who wouldn’t want to live well if they could? “I’m afraid he contracted some strange illness on the way and hasn’t recovered…! only worry about An Du and Jing Niang.”

“I entrusted the two children to Mother, but I still wanted to see how much Younger Aunt would pity them and help them.”

“Mother is kind and soft-hearted. Sometimes, her personality is too soft. There are some things that I have to trouble little aunt with.”Mrs. Cai took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.” It was all my fault in the past. I didn’t respect my parents-in-law, and I didn’t get along with my aunt and uncle.. It was my own fault…”
