"啕——"
Xiao Qintang retched while holding on to the chair.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing the sound in the inner room, Baoyue dropped Mrs. Zhao's hair and rushed over to cheer Xiao Qintang up.
Carefully helping her young lady sit down, she hurriedly brought a cup of tea and handed it over, "Miss, please have a cup of tea to calm down. I will send for a doctor right now..."
"Please call me a doctor!"
Lu Yitong gasped and took the opportunity to grab the whip from Xiao Qintang's hand and threw it away.
He snorted coldly and cursed angrily: "Why are you pretending? The one who was beaten has not yet called a doctor, but the one who beats someone has to call a doctor..."
"you!"
Xiao Qintang held her stomach, feeling uncomfortable and angry.
She pointed at Lu Yitong and wanted to curse again. When she opened her mouth, she felt nauseated again in her stomach.
So he turned around and continued to retching.
Seeing her doing it one after another, Lu Yitong couldn't help feeling disgusted.
He pointed at Xiao Qintang, wanting to divorce him, but he was greedy for the dowry in her hand...
So I didn't know how to deal with her.
At this time, Mrs. Zhao pushed aside the maids and walked out of the inner room with a straight face and a pale face.
She pointed at Xiao Qintang, wanting to order Lu Yitong to divorce the wanton daughter-in-law in front of her...
But as someone who had been there, she couldn't help but feel a move in her heart when she saw Xiao Qintang retching all the time, and she said with joy, "Qintang, are you pregnant?"
"Pregnant?"
Hearing his mother's guess, Lu Yitong was stunned for a while.
But he was stunned for only a moment, and he quickly realized what this meant.
So he was ecstatic - haha, he finally got hold of Xiao Qintang's weak spot!
As long as this weakness remains, Xiao Qintang will have to obey him obediently no matter whether the Xiao family can make a comeback in the future.
Otherwise, if he divorces his wife, she will be separated from her mother and her son!
Even in the future, even if he really divorced her, she would not dare to resist.
Not only did she not dare to resist, she even had to beg him pathetically to see his seed and raise his seed...
Thinking of Xiao Qintang's embarrassed and cowardly appearance in the future, Lu Yitong felt secretly happy.
He thought to himself that this pregnancy must be saved, so he quickly asked his servants to invite a doctor.
The old doctor checked her pulse and found that she was indeed pregnant.
It's just that Xiao Qintang's mood fluctuated too much today, so he felt some fetal movement.
After prescribing a prescription to protect the fetus, the old doctor looked at Lu Yitong and said: "My wife is fine, she just needs to rest more, be less angry, and it is best to stay calm."
"I see."
Lu Yitong nodded and asked his servants to see the doctor off.
Smiling and coming to Xiao Qintang's side, he was about to coax her...
At this time, Xiao Qintang frowned and said, "I have to go back to my parents' house today."
"Hey, you're pregnant, why are you going back to your parents' home?"
Mrs. Zhao smiled and blamed Xiao Qintang for being ignorant, "It is difficult for a pregnant woman to return to her parents' home. It will bring bad luck to her parents' family..."
"You are unlucky!"
Seeing how unlucky Mrs. Zhao said she was, Xiao Qintang felt angry again.
"Qintang, mom didn't mean that..." Lu Yitong pulled Xiao Qintang and coaxed her.
"Then what does she mean?"
"Mom, I'm afraid that your fetal position will be unstable. If you go back rashly, what will happen if the fetal gas moves and something happens? The Xiao family is already in troubled times right now. It's the Chinese New Year. Why don't you stand up and get involved? Cause trouble?"
"I……"
Xiao Qintang was speechless, but he didn't want to let Lu Yitong go so easily, so he snorted, "Why are you talking so much? You just don't want to go back with me anyway!"
"It's not that I don't want to go back, it's that I don't want to cause trouble to the Xiao family."
For the sake of a better life ten months later, Lu Yitong held Xiao Qintang's finger and had to start being humble again.
He coaxed Xiao Qintang and said, "Qintang, be good, let's take good care of the fetus first. When your fetus is well taken care of, I promise to accompany you back in glory!"
"Yeah?"
Xiao Qintang was doubtful, "You didn't lie to me?"
"certainly."
"That's okay."
Xiao Qintang nodded and agreed to Lu Yitong's proposal.
I just wrote a letter and asked Baoyue to send it back, and then let it go.
General's Mansion.
Mrs. Xi waited eagerly from morning to noon, from noon to evening, but she still didn't get the news that her daughter had returned home.
"Did something happen?"
Mrs. Xi frowned and murmured uneasily. Just when she was about to send someone to the Lu family to have a look, her servants sent word to ask for permission to see her.
"Hug the moon?"
When she heard that Baoyue had returned alone, Mrs. Xi became increasingly uneasy.
She quickly ordered Baoyue to come in, "Where's Qintang? Why didn't she come back together? Did something happen?"
"No, Miss. It's okay."
Baoyue answered quickly and took advantage of the situation to submit the letter written by Xiao Qintang, "Madam, this is the letter written by the young lady. You will understand after reading it."
"What's the use of just writing a letter if you don't come back?"
Mrs. Xi muttered with some dissatisfaction, but still asked someone to take the letter over.
After opening the letter, she realized that Xiao Qintang was pregnant.
Her daughter is pregnant. As a mother, Mrs. Xi is both happy and distressed. She quickly looked at the nanny next to her, "Quickly, go to the warehouse and take out the long-life golden lock set with sapphires. There are two small gold bracelets in that set, take out both!"
"yes."
Mammy agreed and quickly took the things over.
Handing the things to Baoyue, Mrs. Xi hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask: "How is your young lady doing in the Lu family? Is that Lu Yitong... good to her?"
"Miss, she..."
When the Lu family was mentioned, Baoyue felt aggrieved.
She originally wanted to tell the truth, but she knew that Xiao Qintang could no longer care about the current situation of the Xiao family, so it would be useless to tell her.
It can only make the old lady sad.
So she lowered her head to avoid Mrs. Xi's sight, and she answered against her will, "It's fine, it's fine..."
"well……"
Seeing Baoyue like this, why doesn't Mrs. Xi understand?
But what's the use of understanding it?
My daughter is already married and pregnant, can she still divorce her?
Even if you let her leave, what will you do after leaving?
A girl who has been married cannot marry into a good family and cannot return to her parents' family. Will she have to die alone in the village all her life?
If she were a man, maybe.
But she is a woman...
A woman without the protection of her clan and men will easily be targeted by some ruffians.
While she, the old woman, was still alive, she might be able to protect her and help her.
What happens after she dies?
It is impossible for her brothers to protect her and raise her for the rest of her life. The nephews were even less likely.
When she loses her asylum, when her dowry is spent, those weathered swords and bachelor hungry wolves outside will eat her alive!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xi shuddered.
Sighing, she looked at Baoyue, "Good girl, take good care of your young lady. Please advise her more. Now that she is married, she should change her temper and be patient. Don't let others make mistakes. As for others, Yes, just wait until the child grows up in the future."
"yes."
Baoyue's eyes turned red and she nodded in despair, "I understand, this slave."
"Okay, let's go back."
Enduring her sadness, Mrs. Xi asked Baoyue to leave.
On the other side, Xiao Chongjing also felt a lot of emotion when he learned that Xiao Qintang was pregnant and had not returned.
Looking at the table full of food and the empty seats, he sighed and came to Qingshou Garden in person.
Looking at his mother, who was sitting in front of the hall looking dejected during the Chinese New Year, he put on a smile and stepped forward to comfort her, "Mom, although Qintang can't come, her pregnancy is good news after all... You're not Did you also say that Lu Yitong is unreliable, the child is the only hope... Don't worry, when Qintang's child is born, I will definitely help her work on the child..."
At this point, he looked a little tired, "Mom, it's the second day of the Lunar New Year, so don't think so much. It's the New Year, and our whole family should have a reunion dinner, right?"
"Qintang can't come back, and Qinyu is nowhere to be found, so how can I think about having a reunion dinner?"
Mrs. Xi was feeling sad and couldn't listen to Xiao Chongjing's consolation at all. She only felt that he was noisy.
Waving her hands impatiently, she said angrily: "If you are in the mood to eat, why not spend more time looking for Qinyu.
As for Qintang...hehe, you have been dismissed from your post now, what else can you do to help her? "
"I……"
Xiao Chongjing was speechless.
Nianyan walked out of Qingshou Garden. He stood under the cold moon for a long time. With the last inexplicable hope, he came to Suifeng Garden where Ruan Yunluo was...
