After Lu Zheng cooked chicken soup at home and put it in a thermos, she took a taxi to the hospital.
At the hospital entrance, she bumped into Huo Mei Shu.
"Where is your elder brother?"
Huo Mei Shu tucked her scarf and her eyes were dim: "This incident hit my elder brother pretty hard. Plus my sister-in-law is also heartbroken, so he doesn't allow anyone to accompany him in the ward."
Lu Zheng's eyebrows twisted up immediately. Carrying the chicken soup, she went upstairs.
Afraid that she would say something to hurt Rong Dai's feelings, Huo Mei Shu followed her upstairs.
When the mother and daughter entered the ward, they saw Huo Shao Ting hugging Rong Dai. The couple was sleeping very peacefully on a hospital bed.
Lu Zheng sighed softly and put the freshly cooked chicken soup on the table. Then she and Huo Mei Shu exited.
"Have you asked the doctor?"
As soon as they came out, she asked Huo Mei Shu.
Huo Mei Shu was scared by her loud voice. She looked at the ward door in horror and pulled Lu Zheng to the side.
"Mom, keep your voice down! What if my elder brother hears..."
Lu Zheng's face was unpleasant as she pursed her lips tightly, staring at Huo Mei Shu.
Huo Mei Shu had no choice. Her mother really wasn't suitable to meddle in this kind of thing.
"I asked. The doctor said my sister-in-law's embryonic sac in this pregnancy didn't develop well. Plus my sister-in-law was extremely tired from shooting earlier without properly recovering. She already showed signs of threatened miscarriage."
"As long as my sister-in-law recuperates well, she won't have any issues getting pregnant again in the future."
Huo Mei Shu knew what she was thinking.
The old lady was most concerned about her elder brother's family issues.
Fortunately her sister-in-law didn't have any major health problems. Otherwise, with her mother's personality, she might really make a scene.
This time grandma asked her sister-in-law to take over as the Huo family matriarch. That already displeased the old lady.
If her sister-in-law had any other health issues, the family would probably be in chaos.
But with her elder brother's personality, even if the old lady threatened suicide, he would probably just ask his bodyguards to bring her a stool.
"Mom, can you please stop meddling with my elder brother's affairs?"
"Don't you know what kind of person my elder brother is?"
"I'll be blunt. Even if my sister-in-law can't give birth, do you have the ability to make my elder brother divorce her?"
"Before you can make that happen, my elder brother would have left with my sister-in-law already. Then you'd just have to stare with your eyes wide open."
"Let me warn you, it's best if you don't ask my sister-in-law about this kind of issue."
Huo Mei Shu was truly afraid her old mother would cause trouble.
If any storms arose at this critical moment, her elder brother would go berserk. That would be truly catastrophic!
"You've become more brazen after I stopped managing you for a few days. Now you're managing your own mother?" Lu Zheng glanced at her impatiently.
"I'm not managing you. I'm doing this for your own good, to give you a reminder. If you enrage my elder brother, blood relation or not, unless my dad climbs out of his grave..."
"No one else's words will he listen to in this family, except grandma's words, and even those just 30% of the time. Do you think he will listen to you?"
"If I were you, I wouldn't look for trouble myself."
Huo Mei Shu wasn't afraid of her at all. She knew her mother's temper all too well.
"If you find yourself with nothing to do, go out and play Mahjong with your lady friends, have some tea, go shopping. That's nice too, isn't it?"
"My sister-in-law is so young and talented. Aunt An also left her a considerable fortune."
"When my sister-in-law married into our family, it wasn't her climbing the social ladder. She was willing to bear children for my elder brother at such a young age. She is more heartbroken about this miscarriage than anyone else."
"My dear mother, let's not interfere anymore, alright?"
Huo Mei Shu tried to persuade her mother patiently. She was truly afraid the worst case scenario would happen.
