514 It’s Too Late

Shen Ruojing, “My mother is pregnant.”
This sentence was like a thunderbolt that stunned everyone in the room. Jing Zhen then looked at her incredulously and asked, “What did you say?”
“Are we going to have a little uncle or aunt?”
At the door, the voices of three little ones suddenly rang out.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Chu Yu, Chu Tianye, and Chu Xiaomeng. The children ran over and went straight to Shen Qianhui. “Grandma, you…”
Before they could finish their words, they were stopped by Jing Zhen. “Hey, stay away from my wife! Don’t touch her!”
Shen Ruojing then pulled Jing Zhen aside and said to Chu Cichen, “You take my father out. I’ll check on my mother.”
Chu Cichen nodded and said to Jing Zhen. “Father-in-law, shall we go downstairs first?”
Jing Zhen wanted to say something, but Shen Ruojing shot him a look and scared him into silence.
He could only glare at Chu Cichen and say, “You’re not my son-in-law yet, don’t call me father-in-law!”
After that, he hesitantly looked at the door. His hand was placed on the doorknob, wanting to go in but also afraid of angering his wife and daughter.
Seeing him like this, Chu Cichen coughed and repeated, “Father-in-law, shall we go downstairs for a walk?”
Jing Zhen gave him another glare but turned around and walked toward the stairs. He seemed lost in thought.
As they walked down the stairs, they saw that Shen Yuansong’s study door was open, indicating that the meeting was over.
They didn’t plan to eavesdrop on Shen Yuansong, but as luck would have it, they just happened to overhear a conversation between Shen Yuansong and the butler. “Sir, what do the other three big families say?”
Shen Yuansong replied, “They’re all saying nice things now, like how the four great families are like one big family. But when we really encounter difficulties, we can’t rely on anyone except for the Bai family.”
The butler sighed silently. “We are all in-laws. They wouldn’t betray us again, would they?”
Shen Yuansong said, “This relationship of in-laws is still too distant. Since my time, the Shen family has not had a direct lineage marriage to the other families. Now the relationships are all just connected by branches. Otherwise, the Shen family wouldn’t be isolated and helpless like this.”
The butler spoke up, “It’s a pity that Miss and Little Miss recognized their relatives too late.”
Shen Yuansong became indignant. “That small-time actor has also moved in, hasn’t he?”
The butler immediately lowered his head. He didn’t dare to look down on Jing Zhen even though he despised him a bit in his heart.
He spoke politely, “The young master has also come.”
“What young master? That small-time actor is just a gigolo! He has no background whatsoever, he…is not even as good as Chu Cichen!”
Jing Zhen and Chu Cichen outside the door. “?????”
Chu Cichen was unsure if Old Master Shen was praising or insulting him.
Jing Zhen was also confused and looked at Chu Cichen.
Chu Cichen whispered, “Father-in-law, it seems that grandfather-in-law doesn’t like you very much. We are all sons-in-law, so why make things difficult for me?”
Jing Zhen. “…”
He snorted and turned back upstairs.
At this moment, Shen Ruojing had finished checking on Shen Qianhui. When Jing Zhen entered the room, he saw that Shen Qianhui’s cheeks were flushed.
He immediately asked, “What’s the result?”
Shen Qianhui was a little embarrassed. Her daughter already had three children, and she was almost fifty years old, yet she was pregnant!
Feeling a little embarrassed in front of her son-in-law, she only coughed and didn’t say anything.
“Really pregnant? ‘ Jing Zhen’s face showed some surprise, and a touch of gloom flickered, but soon he immediately smiled happily. “Is this true? Wife, you’re amazing!’
Shen Qianhui spat at him. “What’s so amazing? Don’t talk nonsense in front of the children.”
But Jing Zhen sat next to her. ‘You are amazing. You’re almost fifty years old and you can still get pregnant! Wife, when this child is born, let Jingjing help us raise it!’
Shen Ruojing, who was watching from the side, rolled her eyes. “Why should I help you raise it?”
Jing Zhen was very confident. “Because when the baby grows up, your mom and I will be old. We will naturally rely on you, our older daughter. How about it? Chu Cichen, do you have any objections?”
Chu Cichen.
He didn’t have any objections. How could he dare to have any objections?
He quickly laughed and said, “From now on, my family’s affairs will be decided by Jingjing.”
Jing Zhen looked at him with disdain again. ‘That’s more like it.”
Shen Yuansong soon learned about this and hurried over to visit Shen Qianhui.
At the same time, he became even more unfriendly toward Jing Zhen.
The old man had many concerns. “She’s so old, is it safe for her to be pregnant? This is too hard on her body!”
After speaking, he looked at Shen Qianhui and said, “Get a full physical exam. If it’s not safe, don’t have the child!”
The older a woman got, the more dangerous it was to have a child.
But Shen Ruojing said, “Although my mother looks delicate, her health is actually quite good. So far, everything seems to be going well. I’ll take care of her during the entire pregnancy.”
Shen Yuansong already knew from Third Madam Shen that Shen Ruojing was the divine doctor, so he agreed to her suggestion.
However, he turned his head and grumbled to Jing Zhen. “She’s so old, why do you still want to have a child? Isn’t Jingjing enough for your family? Are you trying to pass on a royal position?’
Shen Yuansong only had one daughter in his lifetime, and his granddaughter was so intelligent. For Shen Yuansong, that was enough.
Jing Zhen. .
Although he knew that his father-in-law was complaining, he couldn’t help but silently answer in his heart, “Yes, there really is a royal position!”
He sighed silently.
At night, after Shen Qianhui fell asleep, Jing Zhen walked out to the balcony and called Old Master Bai. “I’m not going back.”
Old Master Bai.
Jing Zhen explained for once, ‘The rules in the palace are too complicated, and the old witch is too strict. Moreover, my wife is pregnant now…”
The struggle for the throne in the royal family was very intense. Although the heir was now confirmed, Jing Zhen knew his mother’s character very well.
If he went back, it would be another round of conspiracies and tricks. Shen Qianhui was simple-minded and could not cope with them.
Old Master Bai held back and couldn’t help but say, “Don’t you think it’s too late to say this now?’
Jing Zhen suddenly realized something and asked, “Did you already tell her?”
Old Master Bai coughed. “You said you were going back today, so I immediately told the Queen…”
Jing Zhen. “
