Chapter 352 After Drinking

Yang Xiuwan's words sparked another heated argument on the scene.

Yang Xiuwan and her maid were on one side, while Fan Dalang and Yang Xiuwan's wet nurse were on the other. The two sides engaged in a heated debate, explaining the inside story clearly.

Yang Xiuwan was the youngest daughter in her family, with four older brothers. Her father was also capable and had some wealth, which is why Yang Xiuwan was able to have maids from a young age.

When Yang Xiuwan reached marriageable age, her parents began looking for a suitable husband in Chang'an, as they were reluctant to marry her off to someone so far away.

After all, Yang's parents doted on their youngest daughter, raising her to be somewhat spoiled. They feared she might suffer if she married far away, so they thought it best to find a suitable family in Chang'an. Marrying her in the city was the best solution.

While Yang's parents were still looking for a suitable candidate, Yang Xiuwan, who was accompanying her mother to a temple to offer incense, happened to meet Fan Dalang, who was going for a spring outing on the mountain near the temple.

Although Fan Dalang was not a very good person, he had a handsome face and looked like a good person.

Yang Xiuwan's handkerchief was accidentally blown away by the wind, and Fan Dalang happened to see it and picked it up. This was the beginning of their encounter.

What happened next was quite natural; a year later, the two got married.

After Yang Xiuwan got married, she enjoyed a period of happiness.

Because of Yang Xiuwan's generous dowry, Fan's mother treated her gently and softly, which made Yang Xiuwan feel that she had married the right person.

However, to everyone's surprise, last year, when Yang's father turned fifty, the young couple returned to the Yang family to celebrate. Fan Dalang drank a bit too much, and when they got home, Yang Xiuwan complained that Fan Dalang smelled bad, so she sent a maid to help Fan Dalang wash up.

Then, as expected, the maidservant served him while he washed up, but in the end, she ended up serving him in bed.

The next day, when Yang Xiuwan woke up and sent her maid to find Fan Dalang in another room, Yang Xiuwan's maid, Xiao Cui, saw Fan Dalang and Fan's maid intimately embracing each other.

How could Yang Xiuwan bear such a thing?

That very day, he declared, "Well, well, Fan Dalang, have you wasted all your knowledge?"

How shameless of him to roll around with a girl like that!

Who do you take me for, Yang Xiuwan?

After saying this, Yang Xiuwan took Xiaocui back to the Yang family.

Yang Xiuwan naturally loved Fan Dalang; otherwise, she wouldn't have happily married him.

If you truly love someone, you naturally cannot accept sharing a husband with another person.

What do you want?

Do you want a divorce?

Alright, since we don't have children yet, even if we get divorced, your father and I will give you some more dowry and you can find another family.

"But when you find someone else, you must listen to me and your father. You absolutely cannot choose a family that is poor but has a good reputation."

With tears welling in her eyes, Yang Xiuwan sobbed as she looked at her mother, "Mother, I...I...I don't know, I..."

Mother Yang sighed: "If you don't want a divorce, then your mother, your father, and your brothers will make the decision for you."

"It's just sleeping with a girl. You should hurry up and have a child. Having a child is everything."

Thus, the Yang family waited for the Fan family to come and apologize.

The Fan family was also pragmatic. After all, they had been studying for generations, so they didn't have much money left. They were hoping to find a wealthy woman from a well-off family to make a good living.

The Fan family came to apologize, and Fan's mother even said, "Mother-in-law, it's all my eldest son's fault."

"Don't worry about that slut, her indenture is in my hands, she can't cause any trouble."

Fan Dalang apologized and begged for forgiveness in a kind and gentle manner, which made Yang Xiuwan smile from ear to ear. She then went home with Fan Dalang.

Just over a month later, one morning when Yang Xiuwan was eating breakfast, she smelled the fried chicken and started gagging, gagging uncontrollably.

From dry heaving, it progressed to vomiting stomach acid, and finally even bile came up.

The Fan family quickly invited a doctor to their home. After taking her pulse, the doctor smiled and said to everyone, "It's good news. Madam Fan is pregnant."

Although Yang Xiuwan was in great pain, she was still happy about being pregnant. She raised her hand to touch her flat stomach and smiled.

But the upward movement didn't last long before the retching started again.

"Madam Fan's reaction is rather serious."

"It's alright, I'll prescribe a herbal tea to stop nausea. Just drink it like your regular tea."

Although she was physically nauseous, Yang Xiuwan was overjoyed with happiness.

Because Yang Xiuwan was pregnant, Fan Dalang moved out of the room and into another room.

But during the day, Fan Dalang would still come and talk to Yang Xiuwan.

Yang Xiuwan was alright. Five or six days after drinking the medicinal tea, although she was still vomiting, she was able to endure it.

But after only five or six days, Yang Xiuwan began to wheeze and groan incessantly.

The vomiting was even more intense than before, and the medicinal tea didn't help.

In just three or four days, Yang Xiuwan had lost a lot of weight.

When Yang Xiuwan wanted to distract herself, she went to Fan Dalang's room to talk to him. What she saw made her blood pressure soar: Fan Dalang and the girl he had rolled around with when he was drunk were rolling around together again.

What's even more surprising is that, whether seeking excitement or for some other reason, the two of them didn't do it on the bed, but rather at the round table that was right inside the door of the house.

Yang Xiuwan's approach was already quite loud, but the two were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice anything.

So when Yang Xiuwan opened the door and saw two naked bodies piled up together, she was shocked.

They were so surprised that they suppressed their vomiting reflex.

At this point, Yang Xiuwan could no longer bear it.

What you see with your own eyes is ultimately different from what your maid describes.

"Fan Jian, you heartless idiot!"

"You've repeatedly disregarded me, Yang Xiuwan! I'll beat you two scoundrels to death today!"

Yang Xiuwan grabbed a porcelain ornament from the side and threw it, causing chaos at the scene. When Fan's mother arrived, she found the room in disarray and Yang Xiuwan vomiting uncontrollably and on the verge of unconsciousness.

Feeling like she was about to die from morning sickness, Yang Xiuwan decided to have an abortion after discovering Fan Dalang's repeated infidelity.

However, this time Yang Xiuwan was more shrewd. She didn't go back to her parents' home, nor did she tell Fan's mother and Fan Dalang. Instead, she talked to her wet nurse and her personal maid, Xiao Cui.

Xiao Cui only listens to Yang Xiuwan, after all, besides the friendship they have shared since childhood, it is also because Xiao Cui's indenture is in Yang Xiuwan's hands.

"I will do as my wife says. Whatever my wife says, I will do."

But the wet nurse disagreed vehemently, saying, "My lady, how can that be?"

All pregnant women suffer like this, except this woman is vomiting more severely.

Even if it's serious, my wife can't have an abortion. This is your and my husband's own flesh and blood, your support for the next life."

"Wet nurse, I'm about to die, how can I possibly care for this little one?"

Yang Xiuwan gave a bitter laugh and continued, "Besides, that stupid Fan Jian, why would I have to have his child?"
