"No, no! It's just... oh, I'm a little hungry, yes, I'm hungry."
Jun Xiaoqiao felt a chill run down her spine from that concerned gaze, so she could only try to find an excuse.
Finally, I found myself an excuse that wasn't really an excuse.
"Hungry? That's good. The little baby needs some nourishment. Wait here, Mom will go to the kitchen and make it for you herself."
Wen's mother was overjoyed and immediately stood up and went to the kitchen.
Wen's father also had an undisguised smile on his face. He gave Wen Qiheng a few instructions and then left their courtyard with a beaming expression.
After everyone had left, Jun Xiaoqiao looked at Wen Qiheng with a pitiful expression:
"It was wrong of me to provoke you in the first place. Can't you really be merciful and let me go?"
“I remember every word you said back then, and I even took it seriously. I was trying to make up for what I did to you. So why are you leaving? Are you afraid of snakes? Didn’t I stop sending my second brother snakes these past few days?”
Wen Qiheng walked to the bedside, looked intently at Jun Xiaoqiao, and spoke haltingly.
"I was wrong, okay? Can we get rid of this child and pretend nothing happened?"
Jun Xiaoqiao begged for mercy with a mournful face.
"Madam, aren't you being a bit irresponsible? We've already been intimate, how can you pretend nothing happened? Besides, the whole manor knows you're pregnant, I'm going to be a father, and my parents are going to be grandparents. Now you're telling me all this is just a joke? Are you going to let the Wen family be played like this? Did you even ask for our opinion?"
"Jun Xiaoqiao, don't forget that it was you who disregarded a woman's dignity and forced your way into the Wen family mansion, using sweet words to persuade their parents to agree to the marriage. How can you let them down now? Where is your conscience? Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back. Do you understand that?"
Seeing Jun Xiaoqiao's pleading expression, Wen Qiheng stood up and helped her sit down. Then he sat opposite her and began to berate her, word by word.
"I...you...I don't like you anymore. I just want a divorce, so what? Is it okay to get married but not divorced?"
Jun Xiaoqiao felt that if she stayed in the Wen family any longer, she would go crazy, so she started to act shamelessly.
"Yes, from the day you provoked me, there was no need for a divorce. I, Wen Qiheng, can humiliate a woman once, but I will never let her humiliate me a second time. So, you should just focus on your pregnancy and not waste your time trying to run away."
Wen Qiheng said this and then turned and went to his study.
"Wen Qiheng!"
Jun Xiaoqiao threw all the blankets and pillows off the bed, her chest heaving with anger.
She was still panting heavily when her mother came in.
"Xiao Qiao, what's wrong with you? Is it because of that brat Heng'er? You're upset. Wait for me to go and teach her a lesson."
Seeing that Jun Xiaoqiao was so angry she was practically fuming, Madam Wen quickly had a maid take the things from her hands and went to the bedside to comfort Jun Xiaoqiao.
"Waaah... Waaah..."
Upon being asked this question, Jun Xiaoqiao picked up Wen's mother and burst into tears.
After crying, she seemed to have figured some things out. Now that the die was cast, there was nothing she could change, but she absolutely couldn't let that bastard get away with it.
This family cares about the child, so she uses the child to repay him for the suffering she has endured in another form.
She was determined to keep going until Wen Qiheng could no longer tolerate it.
If she puts down the ball and runs away, that's not out of the question.
Seeing that Jun Xiaoqiao had finally stopped crying, Wen's mother asked again:
"What did that kid do to you? I'll get someone to beat him up later."
“Mother, he’s obsessed with sex. When I resisted a little, he even drugged me. And just now, when you went to the kitchen, I was already pregnant, and he still wanted to do *that*. I got angry and yelled at him, and he slammed the door and ran away. Mother, you know I love him so much, of course I’ll give in to him, otherwise I wouldn’t have stayed in this yard for over a month. But he shouldn’t have done that, he’s still thinking about it now. What if he hurts the baby in my womb?”
Jun Xiaoqiao wiped away her already dried tears and began her accusation in a measured and deliberate manner.
She had figured it out: her mother-in-law smiled broadly as soon as she heard she was pregnant, so she must care about the baby.
Having a child before engaging in sexual activity is extremely dangerous, so Wen Qiheng is destined to take the blame.
"No wonder you haven't stayed in this courtyard much since your wedding night. We originally thought that's how it is when you're newlyweds, but we didn't expect it was this brat causing trouble. Just wait, if he dares to hurt my grandson, I'll have your father ask him to be punished according to family rules."
Upon hearing what Jun Xiaoqiao said, Wen's mother immediately felt righteous and wanted to go right away and tell her husband to teach that brat a lesson.
His wife is pregnant, and he's still thinking about *that* kind of thing. This guy is just asking for it.
"Yes, thank you, Mother, for making this decision for me. I, Xiao Qiao, will definitely take good care of myself during my pregnancy and strive to give the Wen family a son as soon as possible."
Jun Xiaoqiao stopped crying and started laughing, her words full of flattery.
"That's good, that's good. You're so understanding. Our Wen family has made the right choice in marrying you. Stop crying, let's eat first. After we finish eating, I'll ask the master for an explanation."
Seeing how well-behaved Jun Xiaoqiao was, Wen's mother was very pleased, her eyes crinkling with a smile as if her grandson could appear at any moment.
"Okay! Mother, you must confiscate that aphrodisiac from his hand, otherwise I won't know how to face him in the future."
Jun Xiaoqiao nodded obediently, and then gently and slowly got out of bed.
"Don't worry, that kid dared to use that kind of thing, he deserved a beating. Luckily, he didn't hurt my grandson."
Wen's mother took Jun Xiaoqiao's hand and sat down with her at the octagonal table, serving her a bowl of lotus porridge.
And so the day passed, in the joy of some and the sorrow of others.
Three days later, one afternoon, Wen's father and mother, their faces dark with anger, finally stopped Wen Qiheng from returning home.
"You're back. Come to my study."
"What's wrong?"
Wen Qiheng was unaware of the situation.
“Oh dear, how can you talk about your son’s affairs in public? Hurry up and go to your father’s study.”
Wen's mother glared at Wen Qiheng with exasperation and pushed him directly into the study.
Upon entering the study, Minister Wen immediately struck Wen Qiheng on the forehead with an inkstone and reprimanded him:
"How absurd! Wen Qiheng, where did all the propriety, righteousness, and shame you learned go? You actually used that kind of drug."
"Huh? What did Father say? I don't quite understand."
Wen Qiheng looked completely bewildered. He understood every single word his father said, but he couldn't quite grasp the meaning when they were put together.
"Still not admitting it? What kind of medicine is this?"
Minister Wen's face was as red as Bao Gong's. He slammed his hand on the desk and threw a medicine bottle at Wen Qiheng.
