"You! You!"
Madam Wen glared at Wen Qiheng with a look of disappointment, then ordered the maids and servants to help Jun Xiaoqiao to the next room.
She could tell from her toes that the two of them must have had a fight.
She had only been gone a short while before Xiao Qiao fainted from anger, which means her son must have said something very provocative.
To be honest, his son is really ungrateful. He has such a loving girl, and he doesn't appreciate it at all. He really needs to be disciplined more.
After being unconscious for three hours, Jun Xiaoqiao slowly woke up. Seeing that this was not the room he had stayed in before, he knew that Wen's parents might have already figured something out.
She couldn't help but cover her face.
"Xiao Qiao, you're pregnant now. No matter how naughty that boy is, don't take it to heart. Pregnant women should avoid getting angry. You should think about the baby. Don't worry, if he bothers you again next time, you can come to your mother to complain. If that doesn't work, I'll give him a few more lashes."
Wen's mother had been keeping a close eye on Jun Xiaoqiao's condition. As soon as she woke up, she saw her and began to give her earnest advice again.
Jin Xiaoqiao continued to cover her face, her fingers spread in a cross shape, and looked at Wen's mother.
What she really wanted to say was, "I was just being hypocritical with your son. This child shouldn't have come. Can you let me go?"
But no, these old couple long for a grandson just like they long for their ancestors, would he dare say that?
And when asked about Hong's comment about her being promiscuous, it was truly a case of attacking her conscience and hurting her feelings.
In their world, breakups and reconciliations are normal, so how could she be considered promiscuous?
Men will always shower you with sweet words when they want you, but when they don't, you'll be utterly filthy.
Why should we live within the rules and regulations drawn by men?
Unfortunately, teeth have already started to grow inside her. What should I do?
"Xiao Qiao, I know you heard that. Listen to your mother-in-law. Don't worry, if that brat dares to bully you again, you can tell me how to discipline him."
Wen's mother was still worried about the baby in Jun Xiaoqiao's belly, and she couldn't let her stay angry like this.
"Mother, I'm pregnant. Can I move into your yard?"
Jun Xiaoqiao took her hand away and asked Wen's mother, who looked concerned.
"Did you and Heng'er really have a fight?"
Wen's mother's last remaining hope was instantly extinguished.
"Yes, we really had a fight. He's bothered by my previous marriage. Mother, you know about that. You can send someone to Shangyang City to investigate. My husband died on our wedding night. We really didn't even have time to consummate our marriage. And yet he's so suspicious of me. He doubts my chastity. Mother, how am I supposed to live like this?"
As Jun Xiaoqiao spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, and they flowed so clearly that it was impossible to tell whether she was faking it or not.
"You brat, even if you've been married before, you two were already engaged back in Shangyang City! Now he's actually looking down on you, Xiao Qiao, you wait and see if I don't break his legs."
Wen's mother stood up abruptly, burning with anger, and turned to run to the next room.
But Jun Xiaoqiao suddenly called out to him:
"Mother, please don't go. My husband is already so badly injured. Xiao Qiao feels sorry for him. Please don't punish him. He's just taking his anger out on me because you hit him. Alas! He still can't understand my feelings."
Jun Xiaoqiao knew that Wen's mother was just putting on an act. What mother doesn't love her son? So she said this on purpose to gain more of Wen's mother's pity.
"You brat, look how understanding his wife is, but he doesn't know how to cherish her. Fine, you can stay in my yard. You two can both calm down first. As for you, take good care of your pregnancy. That kid can just stay alone in his empty room."
After thinking it over, Wen's mother agreed to Jun Xiaoqiao's request. The two were currently at loggerheads, so it wouldn't hurt for them to separate and calm down.
"Thank you, Mother!"
Jun Xiaoqiao grabbed Wen's mother's arm and smiled with satisfaction.
"Good child, you've suffered."
Wen's mother also pretended to pat Jun Xiaoqiao's head to comfort her.
So that very day, Wen's mother had someone pack up her things and move Jun Xiaoqiao to her courtyard.
After settling Jun Xiaoqiao in, Wen's mother went to the courtyard where Wen Qiheng was staying and gave him a thorough scolding.
Wen Qiheng listened to his mother's angry words and succinctly summarized what Jun Xiaoqiao had done.
After his mother finished scolding him and left, a strange smile appeared on his lips.
There's a saying, "Too clever by half." Jun Xiaoqiao brought this upon herself, and he couldn't stop her, could he?
Did she ever consider that after gaining his mother's favor, it would be even harder for her to extricate herself from the Wen family's social obligations?
This time, the trap wasn't dug by him for her; rather, she dug a hole for herself and buried herself in it, which he was happy to see.
In mid-October, a grand banquet was held to celebrate Emperor Zhao's edict of self-reproach and abdication, which were then circulated throughout the cities.
After seeing the notice in a place called Fuhua City, Zhu Yanniang decided to return to the capital.
Since her parting with Jun Jianchou, she went to a brothel, but unfortunately, the men she encountered this time only made her vomit, and she could no longer muster any interest in them.
She misses someone, she misses them terribly. Even if she can't express her love, she just wants to see them. As long as she can see their face and hear their voice, she will be content.
She had lived in this world for so long, and had never met a man who treated her so well, so she became greedy.
Even though Shen Jinchen has already resolved the situation after such an incident in the capital, there will definitely be more major battles afterward, and Jun Jianchou will likely go to the capital to help Cen Xi.
Could she go back and help as well?
Even just being able to see the other person from afar would be good.
Once the thought crossed her mind, she took action. Half a month later, Zhu Yanniang appeared on the outskirts of the capital.
Meanwhile, Xiao Qiliang had also devised a foolproof plan in the capital.
He's just waiting for the woman his ancestors worshipped to jump into the net.
After Cen Xi and Shen Jinchen had their argument and reconciliation that day, their relationship, though awkward, returned to calm.
Shen Jinchen has been very busy lately, so he hasn't had much time to think about their relationship.
Cen Xi had been living in the Princess's residence and never thought that anyone would come looking for her until one day, when Uncle Hu handed her a token, and she suddenly remembered that Jun Jianchou had been gone for a long time.
It's already mid-November, winter is here.
Since the other party wants to see her, she should go and meet them.
Outside the city, at Xiangguo Temple, Cen Xi waited for a long time in the side room as agreed, but Jun Jianchou did not appear. He immediately sensed that he might have been tricked, so he hurriedly called Uncle Hu and others to be on guard in the courtyard. Unexpectedly, he still fell for the trick and fainted.
When she finally woke up, she was in a carriage, completely bound from head to toe, with no looseness in her clothes. There was no one beside her, clearly indicating that the other party only wanted her.
The person who would go to such lengths to kidnap her must be Emperor Taizu Yan, who had attacked her many times before.
The fact that she was able to lure him out in Jun Jianchou's name shows that this person has studied her for a long time and came prepared.
