Chapter 83 True and False Daughter 3
Chapter 3
"What? Pregnant?" The nanny stared at Cui Aiai's belly. "She's pregnant! This is great news! We must tell my son-in-law!"
The wet nurse folded her hands and prayed continuously. They had been waiting for so long and finally they had a child.
Cui Aiai caressed her belly lovingly.
This morning, when she was about to eat, she suddenly felt nauseous, her mouth was watering, and she wanted to eat something sour.
The doctor who was called in took her pulse and found that she was already pregnant.
"It's just... my son-in-law has only been gone for half a month. Isn't this child coming too soon?" The nanny suspected that this child was conceived before Jiang Shicheng left, but it was only half a month ago. How could it be diagnosed so early?
Cui Aiai was so immersed in the joy of becoming a mother that she didn't care about her nanny's worries. "Nanny, go home and tell Mom. She was so worried before, but now that I'm finally pregnant, her worries are gone."
"Miss, if not, we can wait another two months." The birth date of the child is not very certain. There is a folk custom that pregnancy must be hidden before three months. Now the child is only half a month old. The nanny persuaded Cui Aiai, also because she was afraid that it would be a waste of time.
Cui Aiai snorted, not really caring. "With the Cui family around, is it possible that I can't keep the baby in my belly?"
She ordered, "Please invite the best gynecologist in the city. The child in my belly must be born."
Qi Qi followed Jiang Shicheng to his grandpa's house. When she came back, she didn't know whether she would be pregnant too. She had to take this opportunity to announce her pregnancy.
By then, even if Qi Qi was pregnant, it would be later than hers. She absolutely could not let Qi Qi affect her status.
"My uncle will be back in three days. I wonder if Miss...will wait until that day, when she and her uncle return to her parents' home, to discuss the pregnancy?"
The wet nurse always felt that there was something strange about the pregnancy. It was still early in the pregnancy. If she was not pregnant, the matter would have become a big deal and it would be difficult to resolve.
On that day, I should have let the painting in and worked on it for a while to be on the safe side.
Even if Cui Aiai can't get pregnant, maybe Huaer can get pregnant.
Cui Aiai was furious. She stood up and walked to the table and sat down. "Nanny, I told you to go find your mother. Didn't you hear what I said?"
The nanny knelt down quickly and said, "Miss, I am doing this for your own good."
"I'm not feeling well now. I want my mother to take care of me. After all, you're just a wet nurse. Do you want to be my master?"
The nurse concealed her bitterness and touched her forehead to the floor, "Miss, I dare not."
"Okay, go find my mother. I think the nanny is old, so let's leave the work to our subordinates."
The wet nurse responded in a muffled voice.
Cui Aiai watched the nanny leave the room, and the tenderness on her face disappeared instantly.
The wet nurse knew too many things and shouldn't have stayed, but I took good care of her because she had nursed me.
Now, the wet nurse actually wants to be her boss and doesn't take her orders seriously, so the wet nurse can't stay.
However, the wet nurse is still useful nowadays.
Cui Aiai looked at the teacup in her hand. Qi Qi had snatched away the favor that should have belonged to her. Now that her husband had seduced her and was not coming home, she could use the wet nurse to kill Qi Qi.
Cui Aiai laughed, and her poisonous eyes were like the calm before the storm.
She stroked her belly, thinking that as long as her child was born, she would no longer have to endure other people's contempt.
The nanny quickly gave orders and delivered the letter to Cui's mother.
The Cui family is also very concerned about Cui Aiai's belly.
Cui Aiai and Jiang Shicheng have been married for more than three years, but they still have no children. Cui Aiai is often treated sarcasticly by dignitaries.
Now that they finally have children, whether it is a boy or a girl, at least they will no longer be ridiculed as hens that don't lay eggs.
As soon as Cui's mother received the letter, she rushed to find Cui Aiai.
She only has this one daughter, and she has loved her like the apple of her eye since she was a child.
When she arrived at the Jiang Mansion, she was familiar with the place and went to the courtyard of the mistress of the back house.
Hua'er saw her from a distance, but did not go in to report.
Cui's mother looked at Hua'er in confusion. Her face looked pale and she seemed to have lost a lot of weight. After taking a closer look, she found that there were blue and purple spots inside Hua'er's clothes, and she immediately understood.
She sighed and asked the nanny behind her to take out some silver. She took it and put it in Huaer's hand.
"The young lady has a quick temper, and because she's pregnant, she's likely to do things she'll regret. She's also very proud, and I'm afraid she won't be able to lower her head. You grew up with her, so try to persuade her and don't let anything bad happen."
Putting the purse filled with silver in Huaer's palm, Cui's mother's earnest words were actually threatening Huaer rather than comforting her.
No matter what Cui Aiai did, she would help Cui Aiai deal with the aftermath, and even if she beat or scolded her, she would tell Huaer not to take it to heart.
Cui's mother sighed in her heart, this love temper is really like hers. She wants the one she loves to live and wants the one she hates to die. After all, she is still too young.
The two people under her command are her confidants. Why should she beat and scold them just for a little favor?
She thought about finding a few other maids for Cui Aiai, as these two might not be able to stay with Cui Aiai for long.
Hua'er lowered her head and followed Cui's mother silently.
She looked towards Cui Aiai's room with resentment.
It was the nanny and the mistress who wanted her to climb into the bed. When she failed, it was her fault. Especially after the mistress found out she was pregnant, she became even more disgusted with her, and even the nanny was not on her side.
Hua'er is a persistent person. Even though she knows that her wet nurse no longer takes care of her, she still tries her best to call her godmother and asks about her well-being.
Finally, a few days ago, when her nanny was mumbling in her sleep, she heard shocking news.
The wet nurse turned out to be the young lady's biological mother, and the lady's child had been thrown onto the street by the wet nurse.
Hua'er failed to marry into a wealthy family, and even the servant who had a relationship with her cut off contact with her after hearing her nanny scold her for being indecent.
Now that she is in a difficult situation, she naturally hopes that her wet nurse will not have a good life either.
She deliberately did not report it, wanting to let the lady see how the wet nurse treated her own daughter. It would be even better if she could accidentally let it slip and let the lady know the whole story.
Of course, even if the lady didn't hear clearly, she would help her complete it.
Huaer followed Cui's mother into the room.
But I didn't expect to hear the voice of the nanny talking in the room.
"My dear, you have truly suffered so much. Now, you must take good care of yourself and not let me down."
Cui's mother had not yet stepped into the room, but just listened to these words.
Her expression suddenly became stiff, and her whole body seemed to be frozen. She slowly approached the door panel, and did not say a word to remind him, but listened more carefully.
The wet nurse really couldn't control the maternal love in her heart, especially when she saw Cui Aiai was pregnant, she suddenly thought of the sadness she felt during her ten months of pregnancy.
She suffered from morning sickness every day, feeling as if she was dying, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered for the sake of the baby in her belly.
Unfortunately, the family fell into poverty and a good family broke up in an instant.
In order to make a living, she had no choice but to sell herself to the Cui family as a wet nurse.
She looked at the sleeping Cui Aiai with a loving face, and felt that her motherly love had nowhere to go.
She couldn't even remember what kind of mood she had been in all these years, why she didn't tell Cui Aiai everything and was willing to be a wet nurse.
"You respect your mother so much, Ai Ai, but you know that I am your biological mother, and Madam Cui is just your adoptive mother!"
"Every day I see you calling someone else mother, my heart bleeds. If I hadn't switched you two... No, I didn't do anything wrong." She endured the pain in her heart. "Your good life now proves that mother did nothing wrong. Don't worry, I will keep this secret to myself for the rest of my life."
With a bang, the door was pushed open.
Cui's mother's eyes were bloodshot red. She glared at the nanny, her face turning the color of liver with anger.
The loud noise suddenly woke Cui Aiai who was sleeping.
She looked at Cui's mother in confusion, feeling the strange atmosphere in the room, but she quickly put it behind her.
"Mother, you're finally here. I'm finally pregnant." She stepped forward, took Mother Cui's arm, and shook it from side to side, clutching her belly with joy. "Feel it, your grandson is inside."
Mother Cui snorted and laughed, "Is he my wife's grandson?"
The nanny was so scared that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.
She must have lost her mind. She had been hiding something for twenty years, but she couldn't help but tell it all today. She was so careless that the lady heard it clearly.
She laughed dryly, "Madam, why did you come without letting me know?"
Mother Cui sneered, "Why, do I need to inform an old woman like you when I come to my daughter's house?"
Cui Aiai glared at the nanny in annoyance, feeling that she was being unruly. "Mother, this nanny has become so careless that she doesn't take my words to heart. I asked her to go find you, but she actually dared to talk to me."
Mother Cui lowered her eyelids. This was not just being carefree, it was clearly a dream of becoming the mistress of the house. She felt that the emperor was far away and wanted the mother and daughter to recognize each other.
Mother Cui looked at Cui Aiai. She used to think that Cui Aiai was similar to herself, but now it seems that Cui Aiai clearly looks a bit like her wet nurse.
Unfortunately, all these years, she has always treated Cui Aiai as her own daughter.
But what about her biological daughter?
Cui's mother saw all this, but did not react immediately. She glanced at the nanny behind her, and the nanny knew what was going on, so she stepped forward and pulled the wet nurse out.
The nanny was so frightened that her legs went weak. "Miss, Miss, save me."
Cui Aiai snorted and raised her head. She was also tired of the wet nurse's control. What's more, her mother was standing up for her, so she didn't want to defend the wet nurse.
"Mother, it's not just this wet nurse, but also that girl Mo'er. She was born to replace my heart, and now she's even going out with my husband. This vixen like her is really good at seducing people. My husband has ignored me now."
