Chapter 131: His Leg Has Only Healed for a Few Days, and He Can't Wait to Take in a New Concubine
After a few days, Tan Zhuoyan promoted a pretty maid in the yard to be her concubine. That concubine was the maid who usually served Tan Zhuoyan medicine.
Upon learning that her son had taken the initiative to take a concubine, the Marquis was overjoyed and rewarded the concubine with many things. Her beloved son taking a concubine meant that Doctor Bai's treatment was effective, and her son would be free from the defects that made him unable to walk or even be humane!
Everyone in the Marquis's Mansion was happy when Tan Zhuoyan took a concubine. Of course, if we had to name someone who was unhappy, it would definitely be Zhou Baili.
After not seeing her husband for several days, she suddenly heard some noise coming from the front hall. She sent someone to inquire and found out that Tan Zhuoyan had taken a concubine.
Zhou Baili was so anxious and distressed that she was distraught. Because she was too sad and angry, she had a miscarriage and her stomach started to hurt. As soon as the fetus felt uncomfortable, she ignored her anger and urged Lu Yin in fear to go and get a doctor.
"Doctor, how is the baby in my belly? Is it okay?" Zhou Baili was lying on the bed, with a curtain between her and the doctor. She only stretched out her hand for the doctor to feel her pulse. She couldn't see the doctor's expression, so she was of course worried.
"Don't worry, Auntie. You have taken good care of yourself these days, and the fetus is very healthy. The reason you have abdominal pain today is because you are too emotional. Auntie, remember to pay attention to your mood in the future, and don't be too happy or sad. You will be fine if you rest in peace in the future."
The doctor often came to the Marquis's mansion to take the patient's pulse. His medical skills and character were trustworthy. Zhou Baili felt relieved after hearing what he said.
"Thank you, doctor. Our aunt is in a late stage of pregnancy and we were very worried, which led to her miscarriage. Thank you for coming over. I'll send you out." Lu Yin paid the medical fee and sent the doctor out.
After sending the person out of the courtyard, Lu Yin turned back and poured Zhou Baili a cup of warm water: "Aunt, no matter what happens in the mansion now, you should not take it to heart. Nothing is more important than you and the little prince in your belly."
Lu Yin specifically said that Zhou Baili was pregnant with the young prince, just to reassure her. Otherwise, if the prince took a concubine, it would be fine, but Zhou Baili would lose her own child, which would be a loss.
"I was so angry today that I lost my mind. She didn't deserve to hurt my baby in my belly because of those vixens!" Zhou Baili loved the baby in her belly. Although she was bothered by Qin Zhuoyan's eagerness to take a concubine, she could only comfort herself not to take it to heart.
As long as Qin Zhuoyan has her in his heart and still cares about her, she can temporarily ignore other things.
Zhou Baili drank some water and lay down. After thinking for a while, she called Lu Yin and said, "Go and ask His Highness to come down and tell him about my situation today. His Highness will come to see me eventually."
They haven't seen each other for a few days. Zhou Baili has been married to the Marquis' Mansion for so long, but it's impossible for her to not see Tan Zhuoyan for a day.
Zhou Baili was feeling depressed and wanted Qin Zhuoyan to accompany her. Besides, it seemed that she could only feel at ease when Qin Zhuoyan was with her, and she also wanted to declare her sovereignty to the new concubine.
However, when Lu Yin went to deliver the message, Tan Zhuoyan was feeling that the new person was very fresh and was being affectionate with the new concubine. She heard that Zhou Baili had symptoms of abdominal pain and the doctor had come to see her, but his expression didn't even change.
"Go back and tell Aunt Zhou that I have something to do and won't be visiting her. Let her have a good rest."
Just a few simple words, no other instructions, not even someone sending anything to show care. Before Lu Yin bowed and left, she glanced at the concubine sitting in Tan Zhuoyan's arms and sighed inwardly.
"Your Highness, don't you want to go and see Concubine Zhou? She is pregnant with your flesh and blood, and she is also your eldest son. You should pay attention to her." The new concubine looked at Lu Yin's leaving back and hesitated to persuade Qin Zhuoyan.
Zhou Baili was pregnant with Tan Zhuoyan's child. The concubine was worried, but he didn't care. He waved his hands irritably, turned his head to kiss the concubine's earlobe, and said vaguely: "She's fine, don't worry."
Qin Zhuoyan had been married to Zhou Baili for more than half a year, and she had more or less understood her personality. If there was really something wrong with the baby in her belly, she would definitely make a scene. How could she just send a maid to ask for help?
Besides, the doctor who came to check Zhou Baili's pulse didn't say anything, which meant that Zhou Baili was fine, so Qin Zhuoyan didn't bother to pay attention to her. Moreover, to put it bluntly, Qin Zhuoyan believed that her legs would recover and she would be able to have sex freely in the future, so how could she only have one child?
In the future, he will not only have not only one child, but also many offspring. He wants the Dingbei Marquis Mansion to prosper forever!
As for Zhou Baili, it doesn’t matter whether the baby in her belly is a girl or a boy.
Lu Yin was in a low mood when she came back. There was no one behind her and no one followed her. Zhou Baili knew what was going on without asking.
"Is he hanging out with that vixen and doesn't want to come over?" Zhou Baili slammed the table and started cursing.
Lu Yin closed her eyes in confusion, not knowing how to comfort her or explain. Zhou Baili became even more upset when she saw this. She screamed and knocked the tea bowls and teapot on the table to the ground.
"This is an adulterous couple! I am pregnant with your Highness's child, how could he treat me like this? Such a heartless man!"
Zhou Baili was not satisfied after smashing the object on the table, so she smashed all the furnishings in the room. While smashing things, she loudly scolded Qin Zhuoyan for having no conscience towards her and called the new concubine shameless.
After having her temper tantrum, Zhou Baili felt so upset about her act of framing Liu Mingyue that day. Why was she so upset?
If Liu Mingyue really wants to harm her child, she will just avoid him. This person will never get close to her. In a few months, when her child is born, Liu Mingyue will be divorced and abandoned, and the position of the Crown Prince's Consort of the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion will be hers.
But now, her cleverness backfired, and she acted too hastily, causing complications. Zhou Baili could not have expected that Tan Zhuoyan's legs had just improved, so she promoted her maid to a concubine. Where did this put her status as the daughter of the Zhou family?
She would rather Qin Zhuoyan's leg remained lame, so that after Liu Mingyue was divorced, she would be her husband's only female relative.
"Oh, his leg has only been healed for a few days, and he can't wait to take in a new concubine. There will be more women in the room in the future. If this is the case..."
Rather than letting Tan Zhuoyan have many wives and concubines, Zhou Baili would rather have Liu Mingyue be the mistress, so that at least Tan Zhuoyan would only touch her.
Lu Yin was afraid that Zhou Baili would get too angry and hurt the fetus, so she had no choice but to persuade her kindly: "Aunt, it's done. Don't let irrelevant people make you feel bad. Nothing is more important than the baby in your belly."
The baby in her belly will be born safely, and Zhou Baili's life will not be too difficult thanks to her title as the eldest son's biological mother.
It is only a matter of time before the prince's leg disease is healed. From the fact that he took a concubine, we can see that the prince is definitely not a loyal person. If there are countless concubines in the backyard in the future, and Zhou Baili can't even keep the baby in her belly, her life will be really difficult.
