“I’m not causing trouble! She’s the one causing trouble! She’s not here bearing gifts! She’s clearly here to cause trouble! It hasn’t been easy for Eldest Brother to obtain the MO family’s approval. If something happens today, who knows how Uncle and Auntie will criticize my brother!” Xia He said anxiously.
“Alright already. The MO family members are not that difficult. Since they have agreed to this marriage, they won’t go back on their word. We’ll just deal with whatever comes our way. Let’s see what Tan Jing wants. Just wait and see,” Qiao Mei persuaded.
“That’s the only thing we can do… I’ll keep an eye on her! I won’t let her cause trouble! If she causes trouble, I’ll beat her up with a big stick!” Xia He said. “You should go to the backyard to take care of the guests! There are so many things that we need to do! Just go. Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law will handle this matter well.” Qiao Mei finally managed to coax Xia He away.
When Tan Jing wanted to step into the courtyard, Xia Wen moved to block her way. He just stared at Tan Jing and did not do anything overboard, but neither did he say anything to her.
Tan Jing held up the gift and said, “I’m sincerely here to send a congratulatory gift. Can’t I go in? After all, we were husband and wife once.”
MO Zhu pulled Xia Wen away and said to Tan Jing, “Of course. Please come in.”
As soon as Tan Jing entered, she saw Liu Shu and walked straight towards Liu Shu. Xia Wen was about to say something when MO Zhu held his hand and said, “My mother is not one to be trifled with. We still have so many guests to greet. Don’t cause a fuss at our wedding banquet because of this person.”
“But those are all your relatives. I’m afraid that they will…” Xia Wen said hesitantly.
“Don’t worry, our family knows you very well. Trust my mother,” MO Zhu said.
There were many relatives of the MO family at the banquet. MO Chou was drinking with the male guests at the other side while Liu Shu took care of the female guests here. She did not expect Tan Jing to go straight for her.
Tan Jing sat down beside Liu Shu jovially and said with a smile, “You must be the mother of the bride. You look really youthful. Your temperament is extraordinary, as expected of someone from a scholarly family.”

“But I don’t know what you’re thinking. Why did you choose Xia Wen to be your son-in-law? Your daughter is going to be childless in the future. Do you really want her to be childless for the rest of her life? Sigh… What a pity. She’s such a young girl and will have to live with it for the years ahead,” Tan Jing said regretfully.contemporary romance
The MO family’s relatives did not know about this matter. They looked at Tan
Jing curiously and asked, “Childless? Why will Xiao Zhu be childless?”
“Oh! You still don’t know about this!” Tan Jing pretended to cover her mouth in surprise and then continued, “Xia Wen is infertile! We were married for more than 10 years but 1 never got pregnant. The Xia family even chased me out because of this! Yet 1 became pregnant as soon as I married my current husband. I’m almost seven months pregnant now.”
The MO family members did not look too happy and just looked at Tan Jing quietly. When Tan Jing saw this, she continued with gusto, “If there’s really no other way, MO Zhu can have a child with someone else! Otherwise, if she never has a child, she won’t have any descendants! Hahahahaha!”
Tan Jings hysterical laughter resounded throughout the entire courtyard and attracted everyone’s attention. Liu Shu smiled and said, “For sure the Huang family doesn’t have this problem of having no descendants. I heard that the Huang family has many many grandchildren. Are they all your children? It seems that you’re really blessed.”
Tan Jing had only married into the Huang family for less than a year, so it was impossible for those grandchildren to be hers. Tan Jing said calmly, “Although they’re not my biological children, 1 treat them like my own flesh and blood.’
“Oh my, then it seems that you’re really a responsible person. How does it feel to be a stepmother?” Nio Zhu’s eldest aunt asked as she looked at Tan Jing.
“The children are all quite obedient. I’m happy of course,” Tan Jing said.
“The Huang family really has a good daughter-in-law. I wonder how long you can last. I heard that the Huang family has had many daughters-in-law in the past. The one who lasted the longest died after two years,” MO Zhu’s eldest aunt said with a smile.
“That… that’s because they’re not blessed! They are destined to have short lives!” Tan Jing said agitatedly.
“Look at you. You get so anxious so quickly. We didn’t say that you have a short life. We’re just trying to gossip with you,” MO Zhu’s youngest aunt said..
