Chapter 172: Disturbing Jiang Cheng

She finally learned the principle of "strike first to gain the advantage" through her contest with Shen Lan and Li Xuan.

Li Xuan was greatly shocked, as if she could not believe that Si Rong would say such vicious words.

She remembered that the Si Rong of the past was very kind; how could she have become like this?

Moreover, it was not a joking tone; she was serious.

Li Xuan fled in a panic.

After walking far away, she felt a bit annoyed; why was she running away?

Could it be that Si Rong knew about Xiao Chi's plan to get rid of those two children?

This matter was very confidential, and they had never mentioned it to anyone else; how could Si Rong know?

No, it must be that she was overthinking it.

Si Rong was just an ordinary middle-aged woman; how could it be possible for her to know everything?

Thinking this way, Li Xuan finally felt a bit more at ease.

But she regretted asking Kong Yue for this wedding, and regretted inviting Si Rong even more.

Not only did it fail to help her establish a foothold in the Junshuyuan, but it also became a laughingstock of the Junshuyuan.

She felt that Kong Yue seemed dissatisfied with her; today, that mother-in-law of his, who was about the same age as him, had swindled another two thousand yuan out of him.

Before leaving, she even said that she would come to visit them often in the future.

Was she planning to swindle money endlessly?

Li Xuan felt that she no longer had any confidence when talking to the Kong Family, and she was ingratiating herself.

Unlike Shen Chi, who served tea and water to Kong Yue, pounded his legs and massaged his back, and inquired after his well-being, looking just like a eunuch from ancient times.

It did manage to coax Kong Yue into being a bit happier.

Being able to endure what ordinary people cannot endure, Li Xuan felt that her son would surely achieve great things.

Besides, she was there to help him.

Since Si Rong dared to treat her this way, she would have no need to be soft-hearted in the future.

As for Shen Lan's dying wish from the past, it had long been cast to the back of her mind.

Night fell.

For many newlyweds, the wedding night should be spent in the bridal chamber.

But Li Xuan was very repulsed tonight.

For one thing, Kong Yue had suffered from urinary incontinence in public during the day, and for another, she was very tired after wearing a wedding dress all day.

She had intended to take it off, wash up, and rest early, but she did not expect Kong Yue to refuse to let her take it off.

After the lights were turned off, the night began.

Tonight, Kong Yue seemed to be in high spirits, tormenting her for half the night.

However, just as they started, she seemed to hear some strange noises behind the curtains.

It sounded like the heavy, painful gasping of someone who was critically ill.

But immediately after, her head was pressed down, and she had no mind to think of anything else.

……

Fang Ting gave birth to a daughter, and the child's birthday was very good, falling on New Year's Day.

Si Rong brought a fruit basket to the hospital to visit her; Fang Ting had recovered well, Jiang Dacheng put her first in everything, and Jiang's mother was easy to get along with, so Fang Ting's life was going very smoothly.

Taking advantage of the moment her mother-in-law carried the child out, she hurriedly asked Si Rong, "Do you think she is ugly? A bit like a monkey?"

Si Rong: …… Such a familiar sentence; she had once thought so too.

"Children are all like this when they are just born; they will look better once they grow into their features."

It seems every mother thinks this way.

Fang Ting named her daughter Jiang Yuanyuan.

Just like the moon on that New Year's night.

Jiang Zhi left for school; on the day she left, she was very reluctant to part with her younger brother and sister, hugging them over and over again.

Her eye sockets were even red.

Si Rong also felt deeply moved as she watched, "You go to school first; when it gets warmer, I will take them to Jing Shi to see you."

Anyway, they had a house in Jing Shi.

"Alright, I'll be waiting for you all."

The baby grew extremely fast; Si Rong didn't notice it because she saw her often, but Si's mother and Jiang's mother would say she had grown some more every time they saw her after a few days.

Juzi had a big appetite and was relatively chubby, while Jiang Sinian grew taller faster.

They all said that Juzi looked more like Jiang Cheng, while Jiang Sinian looked more like Si Rong.

The old saying also goes that sons resemble their mothers, and daughters resemble their fathers.

This day, at noon, Jiang's mother sent over some crabs.

It was just after the beginning of spring, the perfect time to eat crabs.

But Si Rong was breastfeeding, and crabs are cold in nature, so she only tasted one.

At this time, she heard Wu Ma say, "Human traffickers are so arrogant now; I heard that children were abducted right at the entrance of the Baihuo Shangchang."

Because she had children, Si Rong was particularly sensitive to these topics; she teased Jiang Sinian in Wang Ma's arms and asked, "Were those traffickers caught?"

Wu Ma shook her head, "Traffickers aren't that easy to catch."

"I heard that those people have drugs on them now; as soon as they get their hands on a child, they drug them unconscious and take them directly onto a train. The world is so big, where would you go to find them?"

Si Rong felt heartbroken upon hearing this, "Then let's take the children out less during this period; if we do go out, we must strengthen our precautions."

"Also, if strangers come to the house, we must be more careful," Si Rong thought for a moment, and in order to make Wu Ma more vigilant, she added, "The wife married into the family of the old Commander Kong has a bad relationship with me from the past, so we must be careful of people from their family too."

Although she did not know what bad tricks Li Xuan and her son were brewing, she felt that it was either aimed at her or at the two children.

"Alright, Madam, I will definitely be very careful," Wu Ma said hurriedly.

In the evening, when Jiang Cheng returned, the two of them talked about the human traffickers; sensing his wife's worry, Jiang Cheng said that the military was not too busy during this period, and if Si Rong wanted to take the children out, she could contact him via pager, and he would be their dedicated escort.

"Fine, then I will have to trouble Deputy Army Commander Jiang."

With Jiang Cheng's word, Si Rong felt somewhat at ease.

She had just wanted to lie down and sleep when Jiang Cheng rolled over on top of her, his eyes gazing into hers, dark and bright.

"It's been a month."

"What's been a month?" Si Rong was confused, but she quickly realized what he meant.

A month was the recovery time for Deputy Army Commander Jiang's vasectomy.

Si Rong had originally wanted to play hard to get, but as Jiang Cheng's scorching kisses fell, she soon felt her body soften into a puddle.

Just at the critical moment when the arrow was on the bowstring, a cry rang out.

Si Rong immediately got up to check on the baby; it was Si Nian, and she hurriedly checked to see if he had wet himself.

Jiang Cheng:...

When he said in the past that he didn't like children, it wasn't entirely because of the rumors about Si Rong's infertility; children were truly annoying.

They always caused trouble at critical moments.

Most importantly, in his wife's heart, he didn't seem as important as that little brat Jiang Sinian.

After Si Rong finished coaxing her son, she saw Jiang Cheng with a dejected look on his face.

Uh, it was as if he were sexually frustrated, yet it also seemed to be mixed with something else.

Once some things were interrupted, the mood seemed to be gone.

Jiang Cheng took advantage of his wife not paying attention and glared fiercely at his son.

Jiang Sinian:...

"What do you want to do? Tell Mom, Mom will help you," Li Xuan asked her son.

After all, she was of such an age and had experienced many things, so she considered herself to have some ability.

Shen Chi did not want to pay her any mind, "You don't need to worry about it."

Li Xuan was too stupid; he had to plan things himself.

"Are you trying to deal with those two brats that Si Rongsheng gave birth to? Mom can be your helper."

Shen Chi looked at her coldly, "You are still the same as before, always unable to distinguish who is in charge."

When you should have been currying favor with Si Rong, you were secretly entangled with Shen Lan.

Now that you should be currying favor with Kong Yue, you insist on getting involved in his messy affairs.

Besides, he had already found a helper.

This time, when he made his move, he would definitely succeed; he had already formulated a detailed plan.
