Chapter 1657: Chapter 1657: A Critical Moment
Mrs. Chu finished everything, and an inexplicable sense of guilt overwhelmed her.
Mrs. An said the medicine was for treating Little Tiangua’s cough. Mrs. Chu also had Little Tiangua’s best interests at heart. Initially, Mrs. Chu thought it was only natural. But after putting the medicine into the water Little Tiangua would drink, she felt uneasy for no apparent reason. Mrs. Chu didn’t know why she was feeling .
“Sister-in-law, Aunt Song just sent over some jujube cake, do you want to try some?” Su Yunjin walked in from outside, carrying the jujube cake, smiling brightly.
Mrs. Chu, feeling guilty, pinched the bottle of medicine in her hand and secretly hid it in her clothes. Sensing something was off, Su Yunjin looked at her suspiciously, “Sister-in-law, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
“No… nothing.” Mrs. Chu shook her head hurriedly.
Su Yunjin didn’t ask further, smiled and handed a piece of the jujube cake on the plate to Mrs. Chu, “Sister-in-law, this jujube cake is pretty good, quite fresh. I thought it tasted nice, why don’t you have a piece too.”
Mrs. Chu took the jujube cake and nodded stiffly, “By the way, sister-in-law, you mentioned the red mark on Little Tiangua’s arm was made by mother, what’s that about?”
While eating the jujube cake, Su Yunjin didn’t want to talk much about Mrs. An. She just briefly explained to Mrs. Chu in a few words and noticed a bowl of water on the table.
Su Yunjin casually asked Mrs. Chu, “Did Aunt Bao come by?” Su Yunjin had previously instructed Aunt Bao to bring over some water, intending to feed Little Tiangua.
“Sister-in-law, this bowl of water was just delivered by Aunt Bao,” Mrs. Chu replied, taking another bite of her jujube cake. Aunt Song’s steamed jujube cake was fluffy and soft, with a good taste.
Not sure if honey was also added, sweet but not greasy. Mrs. Chu enjoyed eating it. Su Yunjin put down the jujube cake in her hand, glanced at Little Tiangua lying there nibbling on her little hand, and planned to feed Little Tiangua some water now.
Mrs. Chu looked at the jujube cake Su Yunjin had set on the table in surprise, she’d only eaten half, why isn’t sister-in-law eating anymore? “Sister-in-law, aren’t you going to finish this jujube cake?”
“Sister-in-law, the water will get cold if left for too long, I’ll feed Little Tiangua some water first.” After feeding Little Tiangua some water, she planned to come back and continue eating jujube cake.
Understanding that Su Yunjin was going to feed Little Tiangua some water, Mrs. Chu casually asked Su Yunjin, “Sister-in-law, has Little Tiangua been coughing these past few days?”
Mrs. Chu had been here for quite some time and hadn’t heard Little Tiangua cough once. Additionally, Little Tiangua looked healthy, plump, and had rosy cheeks, not resembling a sick child at all.
Why would her mother-in-law, Mrs. An, tell her that Little Tiangua was sick? And even said Little Tiangua had a severe cough? Mrs. Chu’s mind was filled with questions, which grew more puzzling the more she thought about them.
She even forgot to eat the jujube cake in her hand.
Little Tiangua’s right arm was scratched by Mrs. An. At this moment, Su Yunjin was holding Little Tiangua, and her right arm was exposed. As Mrs. Chu turned her head, she saw the scratch marks on Little Tiangua’s right arm. This text is hosted at novelꜰire.net
Red and very noticeable.
Su Yunjin held Little Tiangua and walked over to the table. After sitting down, she found the water in the bowl was still a bit hot, so she didn’t feed Little Tiangua right away, planning to let it cool down a bit more.
The jujube cake was on the table, and Little Tiangua seemed to have spotted something interesting, reaching out her little hand to grab the jujube cake. Noticing Little Tiangua’s action, Su Yunjin amusingly blocked Little Tiangua’s hand.
Little Tiangua’s mouth opened and closed as if she wanted to eat something. “You really are a little greedy cat!” Su Yunjin poked her daughter’s chubby little face and scooped a spoonful of water to feed Little Tiangua.
