Hiding her pregnancy and divorce, she stopped licking and the general panicked

Chapter 187 Lu Ziwei felt the hypocrisy of her husband's family

Su Yujiao knocked the hairpin on the table a few times, and a capsule-sized recorder fell out of the hairpin.

"What is this?"

"You talk to it."

Lu Ziwei was confused: "What did you say?"

Su Yujiao turned the capsule recorder and a sentence came out of it: "What did you say?"

Lu Ziwei widened her eyes in shock, staring at the small oval in Su Yujiao's hand as if she had seen a ghost.

"What is this thing? It can actually learn to speak like me?"

Su Yujiao briefly introduced the functions and usage of the voice recorder.

"Is there something like this in every pearl hairpin?"

"Ah."

“It allows you to see the truest side of each person.”

"Your mother-in-law always praises you in front of you, but don't you want to hear what she says about you in private?"

"Give them the hairpin. Whether they wear it on their heads or keep it in a box, you can hear their truest thoughts."

Lu Ziwei frowned: "This is not good. Everyone has selfish motives. Why should I pry into other people's thoughts?"

"Don't you want to find out who is harming you?"

"What if it's among these people?"

"It's a pity that hairpins can only be given to women, not men. Otherwise, you would have saved yourself a lot of trouble."

Lu Ziwei thought about it and finally agreed.

She has given so much to the Li family, and has also been serving her parents-in-law wholeheartedly and treating her sister-in-law and sisters-in-law well.

In fact, she also wanted to hear how they evaluated her and see whether her efforts were worth it.

"Give the biggest one to your mother-in-law. That will show your filial piety."

"Okay, I'll deliver it to you in person during dinner."

During dinner, Lu Ziwei took out five beautiful brocade boxes and opened them in public. The boxes were filled with jewels and treasures, which stunned all the female members of the Li family.

"Mother, this largest one is for you. Your daughter-in-law will put it on you personally."

"This large pearl perfectly complements your elegant and graceful demeanor."

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, this is yours."

"Rong Niang, Rong Yan, you have it too."

The maid immediately brought a bronze mirror, and Mrs. Li touched the big pearl on her head and couldn't let it go.

"Weiwei, what are you doing? This pearl hairpin is very expensive, right?"

"You should go back now. I am too old to wear such luxurious things."

Mrs. Li said she would take the beads back, but her hands kept touching them. She had no intention of taking them off. She didn't even dare to pretend, for fear that they would really be taken back.

The others didn't even dare to take back their words, and even pretended not to hear what Madam Li said, and only carefully admired the pearl hairpin on their heads.

"I had this bead custom-made from the East China Sea. I wanted to give it to you and your sisters-in-law on New Year's Day."

"Look, my mother made a big fuss at home today. She really shouldn't have done that."

"I felt bad about it, so I wanted to apologize on behalf of my mother."

"Just accept it, mother, otherwise your daughter-in-law will always feel uneasy."

Mrs. Li smiled from ear to ear, and several other female relatives kept praising her.

Su Yujiao was speechless watching from the side. This group of people was even more hypocritical and disgusting than the second branch of the Lu family.

"Come on, sit down and eat. Don't be so polite as a family."

"Don't even mention apologizing. If we have to apologize, we should go and apologize to our mother-in-law."

"My leg won't matter once winter comes, otherwise I'll chase you all the way to the capital to apologize to my mother-in-law."

Lu Ziwei smiled awkwardly. For some reason, she felt that her mother-in-law was extremely hypocritical at the moment.

Knowing that my mother was staying in the inn, he still said such disgusting things.

She didn't know why, but before Jiaojiao came, she thought her mother-in-law was perfect and sincere.

But after Jiaojiao came, she heard how her mother treated her daughter-in-law, and compared it with how her mother-in-law treated her, and she actually felt dissatisfied.

"Weiwei, try this fish. It's freshly caught from the river. The fish meat is so tender and delicious that it's jaw-droppingly delicious."

Mrs. Li was in a good mood and was sincere for once.

"Thank you, mother."

Lu Ziwei took a bite and suddenly made a vomiting gesture, then quickly took a sip of tea to suppress the nausea.

"what happened?"

"But feeling unwell?"

"Go and get the doctor."

Mrs. Li is good at putting on a show, especially in front of outsiders.

Now, in front of her daughter-in-law's family, she has to act like a good mother-in-law.

"Mom, no need, it shouldn't be a big deal."

"Aunt, let me take your pulse."

"Jiaojiao, do you know medicine?" Mrs. Li looked curious.

Lu Ziwei said proudly, "Jiaojiao has been a prodigy in medicine since she was young. She is the apprentice of Dr. Mo, and she came here specifically to help me with my infertility."

Mrs. Li's expression changed, but she quickly reacted and pretended to be excited.

"That's great, Weiwei now has hope."

Fortunately, they acted cautiously and were not afraid of being discovered.

In fact, the Li family was concerned about the power of the General's Mansion and did not dare to give Lu Ziwei drastic medicine, fearing that the Lu family would invite the imperial physician.

Therefore, they did not give Lu Ziwei any abortion drugs. Instead, they tampered with her pregnancy-preserving drugs every time she became pregnant, which would only cause a miscarriage and would not cause too much harm to her body.

Su Yujiao felt Lu Ziwei's pulse, suddenly opened her eyes, and looked at her with surprise: "Auntie, this... looks like a pregnancy pulse."

Lu Ziwei was also very cooperative. She stood up excitedly, covered her mouth and started crying.

Su Yujiao almost burst out laughing when she saw how good her aunt was at acting.

She said, there are no fools in the Lu family, they are just blinded by love for a while.

"Really? I'm really pregnant?"

"The last time you slept together was it a good time?"

"That's right. Judging from the pulse, the baby is not yet full term. An ordinary doctor would probably be able to tell that."

"We need to ask an experienced old doctor."

Just then, the old woman who had just gone to ask for the doctor came with him.

After the doctor diagnosed Lu Ziwei, he also found a slippery pulse, but he was not sure whether it was a sign of pregnancy or an impending menstruation.

To be sure, it is best to diagnose after half a month, when the pulse will be more obvious as the pregnancy is later.

However, after hearing that Su Yujiao was the apprentice of Doctor Mo, he said with certainty that this was a pregnancy pulse. Otherwise, wouldn't it seem that he was too incompetent that he couldn't even diagnose a pregnancy pulse?

"Madam, are you the female healer who cured smallpox and malaria?"

Su Yujiao smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the old man had also heard of my deeds."

Su Yujiao pretended to be a little bit arrogant. To deal with shameless people like the Li family, it was necessary to show her strength appropriately.

Doctor Li knelt down excitedly and said, "I greet the county lady."

"County Lord?"

"Don't you know? This lady in front of you made great contributions during two plagues and was named a county lady by the emperor."

When the Li family heard Su Yujiao's identity, they hurriedly stood up and knelt.

As a mere fourth-rank official, he should kneel down when he sees the county lady.

"Master Li, please get up quickly. There's no need to be so formal."

"If Weiwei can get pregnant, my mother and I won't have to worry anymore."

"The next step is to take good care of the fetus and wait for the baby to be born safely."

"You don't mind if I stay for a while to protect Weiwei's pregnancy, right?"
