Chapter 378 Father and Son Are Enemies
Liu Rushi carried the porridge into the room and was immediately dumbfounded. The man in front of her sat on the bed with a solemn expression, motionless, as if he had become a completely different person. Usually, her nemesis would always greet her with a smile, but the only time he had a long face was when she had caused Zhang Shifang's death.
"Have something to eat, I just cooked some bird's nest porridge." Seeing Wang Wenzhou's distraught appearance, Liu Ru felt very sorry for him and spoke in a gentle and tender tone.
Wang Wenzhou seemed not to hear, and remained sitting there blankly, motionless.
"Sigh..." Liu Rushi sighed softly, took a sip of porridge, and fed it to him mouth to mouth.
"Hmm!" Liu Ru was very puzzled. What was wrong with her nemesis? Her nemesis always ate from the girl's mouth. Although Liu Ru also fed Wang Wenzhou, it was always Wang Wenzhou who would lie in front of her and snatch the food from her mouth. She rarely fed Wang Wenzhou on her own initiative.
Every time Liu Rushi took the initiative to feed Wang Wenzhou, he would be extremely excited. But this time, his nemesis wouldn't even open his mouth, and he couldn't get any food in at all.
Liu Rushi swallowed the porridge and said softly, "Wang Wenzhou, you need to eat something. You've been unconscious these past few days and have only been eating liquids. The imperial physician said you are seriously injured and weak, so you need to nourish yourself."
Wang Wenzhou's expression was blank; he stared straight ahead, his eyes lifeless.
Liu Rushi frowned deeply. Her husband had lost three wives and concubines, all of whom were pregnant. He was heartbroken! What should she do?
"Wang Wenzhou, let me offer you some milk." Liu Rushi held Wang Wenzhou's head.
But Wang Wenzhou remained completely still!
Could it be that she's possessed? Liu Rushi's expression suddenly changed. If she really is possessed, that would be troublesome. She had to go and discuss it with her sisters.
"I'll put the porridge down. You eat quickly. I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back." Liu Rushi looked at Wang Wenzhou, but Wang Wenzhou remained sitting there blankly, as if he hadn't heard anything.
"Sigh..." Liu Rushi sighed and turned to leave.
Liu Rushi gathered Wang Wenzhou's babies together and said, "Wang Wenzhou might be possessed. He's sitting there blankly, and he seems not to hear anything I say. He also won't eat; he won't drink milk even when I try to feed him!"
The other babies were all stunned and speechless.
Chen Yuanyuan frowned and said seriously, "Is it Sun Rurui's ghost haunting my husband? We must quickly invite Taoist priests and monks to perform a ritual."
Wang Ying complained, "What ghosts or gods! My husband must be too heartbroken. Sister Zhang Jiao, take our son in so he can see him. He hasn't named him yet. Don't let him think about the deaths of Sun Rurui and the others; his mood will naturally improve."
Zhang Jiao nodded and said seriously, "I don't believe in ghosts or gods. My grandfather said that people who are afraid of ghosts are guilty. I'll go and let my husband see our son."
After Zhang Jiao finished speaking, she returned to her room, picked up her son from the maid's arms, and walked to Wang Wenzhou.
"Husband, look at our son!" Zhang Jiao said with a smile.
"Jiaojiao! My three sons are dead!" Wang Wenzhou finally spoke.
"Husband, look! Our son is smiling at you!" Zhang Jiao said with a smile, pointing to the child in her arms.
Wang Wenzhou stretched out his finger, teased his son, and said softly, "Jiaojiao, let's name our son Sun Xiaohua."
"What?!" Zhang Jiao was immediately displeased! Knowing Wang Wenzhou's ways, children would always take their mother's surname and be named Xiaohua. Her son should be named Zhang Xiaohua! Okay, even if Zhang Shifang's son was already named Zhang Xiaohua, and they couldn't have the same name, he should still have the surname Zhang, not Sun!
Wang Wenzhou gently stroked Zhang Jiao's hair and explained, "Jiaojiao, we're brothers, the closest of friends, please help me out!"
Zhang Jiao felt wronged and wanted to cry. "Husband, Jiao Jiao is a good Jiao Jiao who listens to you, but you can't bully me! Why is it that their sons all take their mother's surname, but my son doesn't take mine?"
"No!" Zhang Jiao quickly shook her head.
Wang Wenzhou, with a mournful face, said aggrievedly, "Jiaojiao, I just lost three babies, I'm so heartbroken!"
"Husband! You're bullying me!" Zhang Jiao was extremely aggrieved.
Wang Wenzhou explained, “Jiaojiao, Ruirui died saving me. If it weren’t for her, you would be a widow! Our Sun Xiaohua would also be without a father! I promised Ruirui that I would have a son named Sun Xiaohua.”
Zhang Jiao said aggrievedly, "Why should he be my son? That little bitch Zhang Rong hasn't even given birth yet! Let her son be named Sun Xiaohua!"
"Jiaojiao!" Wang Wenzhou coaxed, "We already have Zhang Xiaohua! You can't let your precious son be called Zhang Erhua, can you? It's an insult! So, when Zhang Rong has her child, her son will be called Zhang Erhua. When you have another child, he will take your surname and be called Zhang Sanhua!"
Zhang Jiaobao is also easy to fool. She pouted and nodded, determined not to let her precious son make a fool of himself!
Liu Rushi, who was outside the door, saw Wang Wenzhou and Zhang Jiao chatting happily, so they all went inside.
Liu Rushi said, "Wang Wenzhou, eat something quickly."
"I won't eat! I don't want to live anymore!" Wang Wenzhou looked utterly hopeless.
"Uncle, let me feed you!" Gao Guilan quickly picked up the bird's nest porridge.
Wang Wenzhou shook his head repeatedly, his face contorted with grief. "Little Lanlan, my heart is breaking! In the past few days, one baby ran off with a stranger, and three babies died! My babies are dwindling in number, and I feel utterly hopeless!"
Liu Rushi shook her head with a wry smile, increasingly convinced that her husband's words held a hidden meaning. Could it be that during the recent selection of palace maids, her husband had taken a liking to another girl? Knowing his character, he definitely wanted to marry her. Her husband was so heartbroken; if he were to fall ill again, it would be troublesome. As long as her husband was happy, she would marry her.
“Wang Wenzhou, you’re still young, you could have taken a few more concubines! It’s such a pity you died now!” Liu Rushi said irritably.
“Ruru, how could I take a concubine? I’m a man who urinates standing up! I’ve always made sure every spit leaves a mark. I’ve said I will never take a concubine again!” Wang Wenzhou said seriously.
"Sigh..." Liu Rushi shook her head with a wry smile. This rascal, he wasn't just heartbroken, he was clearly using this as an excuse to take a concubine.
"If I agree to let you take a concubine, will you eat?" Liu Rushi asked irritably.
"Ruru, Ruru, I'm missing four babies!" Wang Wenzhou pitifully held up four fingers.
"No! You can only marry one more!" Liu Rushi said irritably.
"Can I have three? Ruru, Ruru, please! I've lost three babies. How can I eat if I don't marry three more?" Wang Wenzhou planned to marry Li Xiangjun and the other two babies who were living in Tian Wan's mansion.
Wang Wenzhou did this because he knew that some things could be kept secret for a while, but not forever. Besides, Wang Ying was Tian Wan's daughter, and that old geezer Tian Wan would definitely tell Wang Ying secretly.
Seeing Wang Wenzhou's pale face, Wang Ying said with heartache, "Sister Liu Rushi, please agree to your husband's request. He is already seriously injured; if he is so heartbroken, he will develop a mental illness!"
Wang Wenzhou quickly said, "Sister-in-law, you really know how to take care of people!"
Liu Rushi shook her head with a wry smile and said irritably, "Fine! Wang Wenzhou, I promise you, can you eat now?"
"Mmm!" Wang Wenzhou nodded quickly, threw himself into Liu Rushi's arms, and said with a smile, "Jiaojiao, come here quickly, your husband is hungry and will definitely eat a lot!"
Zhang Jiao looked at Sun Xiaohua in her arms with a wry smile. "Son, your dad is never serious."
