Chapter 106: Sisters-in-law
The next day, Madam Song felt refreshed and had a rosy complexion as she sat in the floral hall where she managed the household affairs, waiting for the steward maids to report and take their assignments.
Second Madam Song and Third Madam Song arrived together, and when they saw the radiant face of the person seated in a high position, they exchanged a glance with a smile.
"It truly is that a joyful event makes people feel great. Look at that radiant face, even an eighteen-year-old girl can’t compare to you," Jiang said playfully.
Madam Song’s face turned even redder as she replied teasingly, "Your tongue, no one can win against it. In a few days, I suppose you will be just like me, with a rosy complexion every day."
Jiang smiled with her mouth closed, feeling some anticipation.
Indeed, the father of her child was already on the way. Once he returned, wouldn’t it relieve the pain of longing?
Thinking of the medicine she had been taking and the acupuncture she had received recently, Jiang touched her belly, her face full of expectation, praying that heaven would have mercy and return the child she had lost.
The Lu Madam sat with a smile on her face, but her eyes showed some gloom, and in her heart, she felt a deep sorrow.
Having a husband away and guarding an empty room was truly unbearable. She wondered how her husband was faring in Shanxi.
Madam Song noticed Lu Madam’s sad and pensive appearance, feeling slightly regretful, realizing that there was indeed someone who truly had to keep an empty room.
She cleared her throat and said, "Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, it’s May Day in a few days, and after the Dragon Boat Festival, the eighth is my birthday. I’ve already decided on the guest list, there are also a few lists from the Prime Minister’s side. By then, I will need your help to manage the event."
