444. Chapter 444: Afraid They Might Think Too Much?

Just come over.

The two elderly women then bowed to Qiao Sheng and the others.

"Suchin, Suching, greetings to the Third Young Master and Third Young Mistress."

They were both fair and plump; one looked more stern, the other more easygoing, always wearing a smile.

Shi Lin saw his mother summoning all her trusted aides and couldn't help saying, "Mother, aren't Suchin and her companions your dowry maids? How could you…"

Xie Yin gave Shi Lin an annoyed glance.

"What's yours, mine? They now belong to A Sheng; from now on they'll obey A Sheng."

Qiao Sheng: "…"

Qiao Sheng felt embarrassed to accept, and said, "Mother, this isn't right, they…"

"Are you looking down on them because they're old?"

Xie Yin pretended to be angry and asked Qiao Sheng.

Qiao Sheng quickly explained, "Mother, it's not like that; how could I look down on them for being old? I'm worried that without them you'd struggle to adjust, after all they've been serving you for so many years…"

Qiao Sheng hurriedly explained: "Mother, it's not like that, how could I possibly despise them for being old? I'm worried that without them you won't get used to it, after all these many years they've been serving you."

Xie Yin smiled.

"A Sheng, you're right; these years they've been serving me, and precisely because of that I feel reassured letting them look after you. You and Lin'er have just become parents, there's much you don't know; having them advise you puts my mind at ease."

Na Lan Ruo Lan chimed in, "A Sheng, what your mother said is correct, so please accept them. Also, knowing she intends to assign them to you, otherwise I'd surely have to find two such grannies for you."

Na Lan Ruo Lan chimed in from the side: "A-Sheng, your mother is right, so just take them in. Also knowing she wants to assign them to you, otherwise I would definitely have to find two such grannies for you."

Could Qiao Sheng still refuse? She could only accept them.

Na Lan Ruo Lan and her group stayed at Qiao Sheng's place for about two quarters of an hour before leaving.

Qiao Sheng then chatted with Shi Lin: "Shi Lin, if I say I don't like having so many people attend to me, would you think I'm ungrateful?"

"What nonsense, don't you know me by now? Rest assured, I'm here."

Shi Lin sent them all away, not letting a single one follow them.

He personally attended to Qiao Sheng's washing up.

After washing up.

Shi Lin held Qiao Sheng as they returned to their room; they had barely exchanged a few words when his mother's dowry maid Suchin arrived.

Shi Lin held Qiao Sheng and returned to their room; they had barely exchanged a few words when Suchin, the maid who came with his mother's dowry, arrived.

Shi Lin gave Qiao Sheng a kiss, got up and went to open the door: "Suchin granny, what's the matter?"

Shi Lin kissed Qiao Sheng, got up and went to open the door: "Granny Suchin, what's the matter?"

"Third Young Master, I'm not intentionally disturbing you; I have to say something. The Third Young Mistress has just conceived, it's an unstable time, so marital relations are off limits for now; you'd better stay in another room."

"Third Young Master, I, the old servant, am not intentionally disturbing you; I have to say something. Third Young Mistress has just become pregnant, which is an unstable time; you must not engage in marital relations for now; it's best you stay in another room."

Is he really that clueless about priorities?

Shi Lin met Suchin's gaze and said: "Suchin granny, rest assured about this—I already know; I'm merely keeping my wife company while she sleeps. Well, you've worked hard too; go rest."

Shi Lin met Suchin's gaze and said: "Granny Suchin, you can rest assured about this; I already knew, I'm just purely accompanying my wife to sleep; alright, you've worked hard, go rest now."

Shi Lin didn't want to continue the conversation, turned and went inside, closing the room door.

Their conversation just now wasn't loud.

Qiao Sheng, however, heard every word clearly; after Shi Lin lay down, she said: "Husband, maybe you should…"

"You don't want to sleep together?"

Shi Lin sprang up.

Qiao Sheng slapped him: "What nonsense are you thinking? If I didn't want to sleep with you, would I have married you? I'm just afraid that if we live together, they'll overthink."

Qiao Sheng slapped him: "What nonsense are you thinking? If I didn't want to sleep with you, would I have married you? I'm just afraid that if we live together, they'll think too much."

Shi Lin raised an eyebrow and asked Qiao Sheng: "Afraid they'll overthink what?"
