Chapter 4: Wanting Her to Be a Concubine

Mother Wang came unilaterally to inform Lin Zhiyi that the Qin family had decided to demote Lin Zhiyi to a concubine and marry He Jiaojiao, the concubine's daughter of the Minister's family, as the principal wife.

This is also what the He family requested.

Lin Zhiyi laughed, then her eyes turned cold. "What if I don't agree?"

She had never seen such a shameless person, who could live off his wife so confidently!

Demote her to a concubine so that you can take possession of her dowry, right?

Mother Wang advised, "Madam, I am also from the Lin Mansion, and I am naturally on your side. You should just agree. If your son-in-law divorces you, you will end up living on the streets.

Fortunately, my uncle only demoted you to a concubine and didn't drive you out of the house. You didn't freeze or starve to death outside. You should be grateful."

Mom’s words successfully made Lin Zhiyi laugh.

These two ungrateful wolves, everyone in the Qin family, whether they are masters or servants, eats and drinks at the expense of the original owner.

How dare he ask her to be grateful so shamelessly?

This mother deliberately distorted the facts and confused right and wrong. She is indeed a slave trained by the old lady of the Qin family.

Lin Zhiyi couldn't help but retort, "Mom was bought by my Lin Mansion, and this monthly allowance is also the money given by my Lin family, but you don't seem to be grateful."

Everyone knows that the entire Qin Mansion is supported by the original owner's dowry.

My mother was stunned for a moment, then she reacted, "Madam, you are confused. I am now working in the Qin Mansion, and the monthly salary I receive is also given by the Qin Mansion."

"Since you are a servant of the Qin family, that's fine. Go tell them that I don't agree."

Lin Zhiyi didn't want to say anything more to them.

Originally, she felt a little guilty about selling out these people, but now she feels at peace with herself.

My mother's face changed when she heard this. "Madam, I advise you to think it over carefully. Whether you agree or not, this will be the result."

After her mother left, Lin Zhiyi looked at Chai Ya, "Are you still trying to persuade me to keep this child? Let her be a bastard and suffer with me in this mansion?"

Chai Ya's brows were already stained with anger: "These people are really going too far!"

Then she sighed and said, "Miss, I will go and boil the medicine right away."

Chai Ya ran away, and Lin Zhiyi lay on the bed thinking about the plot in the book. It was the same as now. Mother Wang came to inform the original owner that the Qin family wanted to demote her to a concubine.

The original owner made a big fuss and threatened Qin Lang with a hairpin, saying that if he dared to make her a concubine, she would kill the child in her womb.

The Qin family attached the most importance to offspring. Knowing that the original owner was pregnant, they were afraid that she would get emotionally excited and lose the child, so they agreed.

But this also made Qin Lang hate the original owner even more.

Chai Ya boiled the medicine and brought it into the house. She wanted to persuade Lin Zhiyi to think about it again, but before she could say anything, Lin Zhiyi picked up the bowl and drank the medicine in one gulp.

"Girl, it's still hot."

"It's okay, it's not too hot."

It is now the end of March. Although the weather is not cold anymore, it is still very chilly in the morning and evening, and the medicine cools down quickly.

Having taken the medicine, Chai Ya knew there was no room for regret, and her eyes turned red.

Lin Zhiyi jokingly said, "Silly girl, why are you crying? Are you afraid of going hungry if you follow your daughter?"

"I just feel sorry for the girl."

As Chai Ya spoke, she wiped her tears with her sleeves.

"Well, it's just a baby, it's no big deal."

Fortunately, the baby is still young, so abortion won’t cause any harm to the body. It will be fine after a few days of rest.

But looking at the situation, she thought that the Lin family would be exiled in seven days, and she was afraid that she would not have time to recuperate.

Besides, she had to go out to buy things during these seven days, otherwise they would suffer on the road of exile.

Although she was a married woman and was not included in the list of exiles, and did not have to wear shackles or handcuffs, she still had to eat and drink.

Seeing Lin Zhiyi speaking so easily, Chai Ya thought she didn't understand that having a baby would harm her body. Just as she was about to give her some advice, she was shocked to see Lin Zhiyi holding her abdomen with a look of pain on her face, with sweat dripping down her face.

"Girl, please wait a moment. I'll go boil some water."

Maybe because the fetus was small, it fell out quickly.

Oh~ Doesn't the Qin family value offspring the most? When the time comes, she will return the Qin family's seed to them.

When Qin Lang marries He Jiaojiao, she will give them a wedding gift.

Lin Zhiyi ordered Chai Ya to put the fetus into a wooden box.

Chai Ya thought Lin Zhiyi wanted to bury the child, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"Chai Ya, put this box away first. I'm tired. Let me get some sleep first."

Chai Ya helped Lin Zhiyi lie down and covered her with a blanket. "Miss, you should rest first. I will go to the kitchen to get some food."

"Um."

The main courtyard where Lin Zhiyi originally lived had a small kitchen, and Chai Ya was the fire-cooking girl in the small kitchen, so she naturally understood Lin Zhiyi's habits.

Usually when she felt hungry in the afternoon, Lin Zhiyi would always ask the kitchen to make some snacks to fill her stomach. After staying in the kitchen for a long time, Chai Ya also learned how to cook and make snacks from the cook.

But now the small kitchen is no longer useful, let’s go to the big kitchen…

Chai Ya sighed, fearing that she would be troubled again.

Chai Ya held the wooden box and felt heartbroken again. She had never suffered such humiliation since she was a child, being forced to abort her own child with her own hands.

Sure enough, what Mother Fang said was right. The Qin family was not a good family.

What should the girl do in the future?

When Lin Zhiyi woke up, she saw that it was already dark. She touched her stomach and found that she was really hungry.

"Chai Ya, Chai Ya..."

The room was so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

"Girl, I'm here."

Chai Ya hurried over to support Lin Zhiyi.

Suddenly, Chai Ya let out a hiss. Lin Zhiyi paused and asked, "What happened?"

In the moonlight, Lin Zhiyi actually saw the wound on Chai Ya's face. He frowned and asked her, "Who hit you?"

"Miss, I'm fine. It's just that those people went too far. The food they gave me was yesterday's leftovers, and it was all rotten. I was going to feed the stray dogs outside, but they..."

Chai Ya was born with great strength. She fought with five or six servants. She was injured and those servants did not gain any advantage.

"So you fought with them?"

Chai Ya lowered her head and said, "Yes."

"Silly girl, don't do this again in the future. It's not worth it for a meal."

"But the girl is still hungry..."

Lin Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, let's light the oil lamp first."

This girl is flexible and can bend and stretch. If a slave bullies his master, then they will all just wait. In a few days they will all be sold, and then they will have to suffer.

Chai Ya stammered, "Miss..."

Lin Zhiyi was furious. "No oil lamps either? This is too much."

Lin Zhiyi took several deep breaths and said slowly, "Let's go out with your daughter and have a good meal. Leave the stale food to them."

"But girl, we have no money..."

Lin Zhiyi lowered his voice and said, "Who said there's no money? I can collect all those farm deeds, so why not the banknotes as well?"

Chai Ya's eyes lit up when she heard that, "That's great."

She knew that it was not easy for girls like them to suffer such losses.

However, she always felt that the girl had become smarter, unlike the Qin family's wife who was always submissive in the Qin family but bossy in front of the servants.

The girl now has more calmness and determination between her brows.

Yes, and very kind too!

This is the legitimate daughter of the Lin family.

The two came to the dog hole in the east wall.

Chai Ya couldn't help but ask, "Girl, do you really want to crawl out of here?"
