After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 196: What's Going On?

When Old Lady Xiao was about to reach the general's residence, she told her sons and grandsons to go back first.

Her two daughters-in-law supported her as she trudged slowly with reddened eyes.

Mdm Wang was still holding the medicine in her hand.

There was always a show to watch at the general's residence, so when those living nearby saw the old lady's red eyes and weak appearance as if she was going to die, they approached her with a concerned face.

The old lady who was on good terms with Old Lady Xiao asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Old Lady Xiao looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated. "I..I went to get the medicine."

The old lady was stunned. "You're sick?"

Old Lady Xiao Sighed. "No, I'm getting medicine for my daughter-in-law."

Mdm Wang was a little stunned. Wasn't this medicine for her son?

The old lady had a bad impression of Ge Chunru. "What's wrong with your daughter-in-law?"

Old Lady Xiao went over and said to her, "I will only tell you. I won't tell anyone else."

She knew that this old lady couldn't keep her mouth shut.

Once she knew it, everyone in this vicinity would know.

The old lady immediately perked up. "Alright, I won't tell anyone."

She would just tell a few of her close friends.

Old Lady Xiao said, "When my daughter-in-law went to the village to pay respects to the Xiao family's ancestors, she deliberately caused a scene and suffered a miscarriage.

"Not long ago, her younger brother was expelled from the academy due to his poor conduct. My son initially assigned a job for him. But he looked down on the merchants along his journey there. There was some conflict that left his leg chopped off.

"My daughter-in-law was anxious, and she suffered a miscarriage again."

She would never say that Ge Chunru's miscarriage had something to do with them.

"My son invited the imperial physician to take a look at her. He said that my daughter-in-law was in poor health due to successive miscarriages.

"I'm afraid that she won't be able to give birth anymore."

The old lady opposite him was extremely surprised. "Ah, why won't she be able to give birth?

"She is the only woman in your son's life, right?"

Old Lady Xiao scowled. "That's right. She can't give birth to a child, and she won't allow my son to touch other women.

"I can only find a doctor and prescribe some nourishing medicine for her to eat.

"It's just that the chances aren't high.

"But she might not eat it. Previously, she blamed me for being an eyesore as her mother-in-law, so I'll be leaving the capital in the next two weeks."

This old lady began to sympathize with Old Lady Xiao. "She is an unfilial daughter-in-law.

"She can't give birth herself, and she doesn't allow your son to touch other women.

"Isn't she trying to end your son's lineage?"

Old Lady Xiao's eyes were red as she said, "That's right. I'm just worried about what my son will do after I leave the capital!"

"Get him concubines. As his mother, it's only right and proper for you to take in concubines for your son."

She continued, "Go and find two pure girls who can give birth to your son. This concerns your family lineage. You can't just let your daughter-in-law do as she pleases."
