Chapter 117 - Chapter 117: Rags to Riches?!

Mrs. He’s smugness didn’t last long. In the blink of an eye, Lu Ze had already walked to her side with an impassive expression. He raised his hand and grabbed the back of her neck before dragging her out of the tent.

“Let go of me! How dare you?! How dare you…” Mrs. He didn’t expect Lu Ze to come over and drag her away directly without giving her a chance to speak at all!

“Get out. Don’t dirty my wife’s ears and my place!” Lu Ze’s expression was cold as he threw Mrs. He out by the neck. “You can ride on other people’s coattails, but before that, shouldn’t you think about how to send your daughter to General Gao’s bed smoothly?!

Things haven’t even been settled yet. Who gave you the courage to come here and show off?!

Get lost!”

Miss Zhu screamed and quickly ran over to protect her mother. Then, she turned around and glared at Lu Ze indignantly. “Just you wait!”

When she went from rags to riches, she would definitely take revenge for the humiliation she suffered today!

“We actually had something to discuss with Mrs. Luo. I didn’t expect Mrs. He to follow along and act like this.” Mrs. Ma, who had always been on good terms with the Fang family, looked embarrassed.

She had actually come over today to ask Mrs. Luo about pickled vegetables. Moreover, she hadn’t spoken to her for a long time and wanted to come over to visit. Unexpectedly, she had just walked halfway there with her daughter-in-law and second daughter when she met Mrs. He and her daughter.

Because they met regularly, when Mrs. He and her daughter wanted to come over and talk to Mrs. Luo together, Mrs. Ma couldn’t refuse. Fortunately, after they arrived, Mrs. He and her daughter didn’t do anything out of line, so she was slightly relieved.

However, she had rejoiced too early!

Mrs. He seemed to have a clear goal. She was here for Madam Liu and Gu Erlang!

But now that she thought about it again, she couldn’t figure it out.

How did Madam Liu and Gu Erlang offend Mrs. He and her daughter? Why were Mrs. He and her daughter so set on targeting them?!

Actually, what they wanted to do was their own business, and others couldn’t interfere that much. But now, their family was also implicated…

“It’s not my mother’s fault. I’m pregnant and have been quite voracious recently. I craved the taste of pickled vegetables I tasted at Mrs. Luo’s house last time, so I wanted to come over and ask.

However, who would have thought that they would encounter Mrs. He and Miss Zhu on the way?

They said that they were going to visit too, so they went together!

We didn’t think too much about it, but we really didn’t expect them to…”

Mrs. Ma’s daughter-in-law, Du Zhou, also looked apologetic as she explained to Mrs. Luo, Lin Suisui, and the others.

“It’s just a small matter. You don’t have to worry.” Lin Suisui had interacted with this family a few times and knew that this family was very kind and magnanimous.

Compared to other families’ chaotic situation, this family was quite affectionate. Be it mother-in-law or sister-in-law, they got along very harmoniously.

“How long have you been pregnant for?!” When Fang Liu heard Du Zhou’s words, she was naturally happy for her. However, when she thought of the camp’s current conditions, she couldn’t help but feel a little worried.

After some thought, she asked worriedly, “Then, is the child alright now?!”

“Mrs. Dong, who delivered the baby, checked and said that the baby was fine.” Madam Du Zhou was a little embarrassed and replied in a low voice, “Actually, I discovered that I was pregnant in the capital. It was just that it was too early at that time, so it wasn’t appropriate to tell outsiders.

Fortunately, my parents and eldest son took good care of me along the way, and my child was obedient and didn’t cause much trouble. I originally thought that things would be smooth-sailing in the future, but I didn’t expect that I would suddenly feel nauseous these few days.”

“I’ll take a look for you.” As Lin Suisui spoke, she had already stood up and walked over to Du Zhou’s side. Lin Suisui gestured for her to extend her arm so that she could take her pulse.

Du Zhou naturally believed in Lin Suisui’s medical skills, but the nausea was still tolerable, so she didn’t think of looking for Lin Suisui.

After all, they were not familiar with Lin Suisui. It was really inappropriate for them to trouble her!

Now that Lin Suisui had taken the initiative to take Du Zhou’s pulse, Du Zhou was pleasantly surprised and grateful. As she cooperated with Lin Suisui, she thanked her in a low voice.

“Fortunately, her pulse is stable. As long as she’s careful, the child will be born safely.” Lin Suisui retracted her hand and looked at Du Zhou with a smile as she told her in a low voice, “The child is still young and the fetal position is not stable yet. You should focus on getting more rest!

Although you’re nauseous now, you still have to eat properly. If you really vomit a lot, you can eat small meals throughout the day. Only then can you ensure that your body gets enough nutrition!

You can’t refuse to eat just because you feel sick after eating.”

“Alright, alright. Mrs. Luo just brought us some pickled vegetables. After we go back, we’ll make them for her!” Mrs. Ma thanked Lin Suisui profusely and bowed. From her expression, she was probably overjoyed.

“By the way, is Miss Zhu really planning to be that general’s concubine?!”

Du Lin’er, who had been sitting at the side silently, suddenly raised her head slightly and looked at Fang Rui’er, who was sitting not far from her, and asked curiously,

“I don’t know.” Fang Rui’er shook her head. Even if she knew, she had to say that she didn’t know!

After the punishment, she was extremely cautious when talking to anyone! She was afraid that if she said anything wrong again, she would implicate her family and friends.

Just as Du Lin’er had asked her just now, as for why Miss Zhu had such a bad impression of Madam Liu…

Actually, it was all her fault!

She was such a fool. Previously, she thought that Miss Zhu was a good friend!

“Huh, how can you not know?! Aren’t you Miss Zhu’s closest friend?!” Du Lin’er blinked, her eyes filled with curiosity and probing.

“Why would she tell me such a thing?!” Fang Rui’er glanced at Du Lin’er. She didn’t want to answer this gossipy question. “If you really want to know, you can ask her now! Your relationship with her is not bad. In fact, you two have been friends even longer!”

“So what? She wants to be someone’s concubine now! My mother already told me to ignore her in the future. She said that she has a bad character!” Seeing that she couldn’t get anything out of Fang Rui’er, Du Lin’er didn’t hide the reason she was so curious. “I just want to know if she’s blinded by greed. Otherwise, why would she think of being someone’s concubine?!”
