Wen Zhu is the unloved illegitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites. From a young age, she was sent to a manor, and her birth mother was also out of favor.
In her previous life, she was sen...
As they took turns drinking one cup after another, their cheeks began to blush unknowingly; especially the delicate Wen Zhu, whose slightly tipsy face was as beautiful as the first lotus blooming in a pond in early summer, and her breath was filled with a fresh and unworldly natural fragrance like the blooming orchid.
As time slowly passed, under the influence of alcohol, Wen Zhu gradually felt his body becoming heavy.
Upon seeing this, Fu Yu considerately picked up his lover, who was almost in a semi-comatose state, and walked towards the bedroom.
As the bed curtains slowly fell to block the view, the room was suddenly filled with a thick yet warm and romantic atmosphere.
When the scorching summer heat wave hit, several people chose to temporarily escape to a quiet and elegant mountain resort to spend a wonderful seven or eight days of vacation.
When the time to return was approaching, except for the Duke's wife who had to stay in the manor to take care of the frail Xiaobao, the rest of the members, including Su Xiawei and Wen Zhu, who had just experienced a sweet encounter, followed Fu Yu back to the prosperous and bustling capital city full of challenges and opportunities.
After returning to the capital, Fu Yu, who was shouldering the heavy responsibility, immediately led his assistant Zhang Xu, who was also full of enthusiasm and eager to achieve the goal as soon as possible, to meet with the key officials in charge of reviewing the work process to exchange ideas and learn.
Although it is inevitable that people will feel confused and overwhelmed when encountering such complicated procedures for the first time, with the patient guidance of our predecessors, we will quickly grasp the general framework and proceed with the specific implementation steps of each link in an orderly manner according to the established plan.
At first, Wen Zhu didn't have much hope and just gave it a try.
But what she didn't expect was that a few months later she actually successfully obtained the sales qualification!
From then on, Zhang Xu's workshop became fully equipped, spacious and bright, and a team of highly skilled craftsmen was quickly formed.
As soon as the license was obtained, the workshop began to produce high-quality wine in full swing.
With its unique and excellent taste and quite reasonable price, "Chunshan Xiao" brand wine quickly entered the market of various stores, and received unanimous praise from consumers and merchants, becoming a product that people talked about with relish.
Considering that Wen Zhu made indelible and significant contributions to the establishment and development of this project, as a reward, she received the right to a 20% share of the total profits.
Now, as her stepmother was willing to help her supervise the daily operation of the workshop and check the specific accounts of each income and expenditure, Wen Zhu, who had saved a lot of effort in management, was naturally very happy to accept this kindness.
Time flies, and it is autumn before we know it.
After the continuous rain in the past few days, the temperature in the air has dropped significantly, and it even feels a bit chilly in the morning and evening.
During a leisure time, Wen Zhu went for a walk in the garden and happened to meet Dong Lu, a girl who lived in the same yard.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Dong Lu quietly revealed a little secret to her: "Recently, I heard that Madam Su's period has been several days late."
There was a hint of excitement and curiosity in his tone.
Upon hearing the news, Wen Zhu was extremely surprised.
"How is that possible? Doesn't she know to take precautions in time?"
She lowered her voice and asked the other party, her tone full of confusion and worry.
"The other day, when we went out to buy some daily necessities, my wife asked us to go ahead and help with the shopping. As for what happened afterwards, I have no idea."
Faced with such questions, Dong Lu could only shrug helplessly and respond in a low voice.
After hearing this, Wen Zhu nodded slightly and signaled his friend to leave. Then he stood there alone and thought: What if Su Xiawei is really pregnant?
If she uses this as an excuse to claim that the child belongs to the Fu family, it will pose an immeasurable threat to the status of the true legal heir!
At the same time, Su Xiawei on the other side of the yard was also in deep entanglement - she had never expected such an outcome to happen. At the moment, she was in a very upset mood, and the anxiety shrouded her heart for a long time.
She had clearly taken medication on time at the beginning to prevent pregnancy.
However, since long-term use of these drugs has significant negative impacts on human health, after Su Yunrong confided her confusion, the other party made a suggestion - to use external means of contraception instead.
During those intimate moments they shared, they were always careful to ensure they took action when it mattered.
However, despite such caution, accidents cannot be completely avoided!
At this moment, gently stroking her belly, which hadn't changed noticeably, her heart was filled with conflicting and complex emotions. The arrival of this life was undoubtedly a sudden surprise, but it was also this very unexpected feeling that made her unable to bear to give up...
The most direct and seemingly most effective solution is to try to make Fu Yu show some interest in her again, and then say that the little life in her belly is his.
However, in reality this is almost an impossible dream.
You know, since they met, Fu Yu has never expressed any interest in her beyond the normal range; even if he tried some unusual methods, he failed to achieve the expected results.
Now, with no signs of him changing his attitude towards her, the hope of getting him close to her was extremely slim.
Although she knew that this was extremely difficult, Su Xiawei still decided to try her best.
That day, she made up a reasonable excuse to invite her brother Su Jiashu to visit, and specifically instructed the servants to prepare several kinds of expensive wines.
When Su Jiashu received a sudden message from his sister and came to Qingshanyuan in confusion, he thought that there might be some friction between the couple and he needed to mediate the tension.
Due to his naturally generous and generous drinking personality and the fact that he intentionally urged others to drink a few more glasses, in less than an hour, the usually steady and self-controlled Fu Yu was already showing signs of being slightly drunk.
At the same time, Su Xiawei arranged for her personal maid Wen Zhu to return to her old home in her hometown to get some precious jade items.
In fact, this task did not have to be completed personally, but she specifically asked Wen Zhu to bring a portrait of her late mother, Mrs. Song, with her, and made it clear that this would only be possible if she personally asked the old lady at home about some details about the Song family's past.
Su Xiawei knew that a series of stories about her biological mother would surely distract the sensitive Wen Zhu from thinking about other things for a short period of time, thus achieving the effect of distracting his attention.
So that afternoon, in order to achieve the best purpose, she dressed up carefully - wearing a dark purple silk gown with a light blue embroidered silk skirt.
