Chapter 130 Public and Private
When her thoughts were exposed, Zhao Caiju felt her heart pounding in her chest.
She instinctively touched her stomach, and in a very disheveled state, dragged Li Qiufen away from the Qin family.
"Why are you pulling on your mother's clothes? That old woman is cursing the child in your womb..."
Li Qiufen felt indignant and complained, as she had just been about to scold Qin Tianhai.
Zhao Caiju said with lingering fear, "Mother, please don't talk nonsense, I'm really panicking."
"What's there to be afraid of? You're a descendant of the Su family, a destiny of great wealth and honor. What's there to fear about Qin Tianhai? Can he be as powerful as the Su family? Once you become Mrs. Su, dealing with this family will be a piece of cake."
Li Qiufen said irritably, "My daughter is too easily frightened."
She never expected that her daughter's recklessness would be so extraordinary.
The Su family is powerful and influential; the renowned Marquis of Anping, who is known for his many victories... If this child were his...
Li Qiufen took a deep breath and asked, "Caiju, is the child you're carrying the Marquis of Anping's child?"
Qin Yuwan was the ex-wife of Marquis Anping. She only gave birth to a sickly daughter. When Qin Yuwan returned home after the divorce, her daughter was also chased back because she was considered unlucky.
Now the Su family has spent a lot of money to buy the child back.
Marquis Anping has no other children. If the child in his daughter's womb is indeed his, then he is destined for great wealth and honor. Just thinking about it makes Li Qiufen feel that immense wealth is about to come.
"It shouldn't be him..."
Zhao Caiju thought back to the man she had a one-night stand with and immediately shook her head.
She only cared about his money; she was dissatisfied with his physique, finding him weak and powerless.
Li Qiufen calmed down slightly after her initial excitement; it wasn't the Marquis of Anping.
Those were the other two business owners in the Su family, but they both had wives...
Li Qiufen sighed: "They are all married."
“Mother, which rich family doesn’t have a wife? I’m not going to get the position of the legal wife. As long as I have money, I don’t mind suffering some grievances for now. As long as I have the skills, it’s not impossible for me to become the legal wife.”
Zhao Caiju, holding Li Qiufen's arm, said with a smile that her goal was money. With money, life would be so much better; who cared about anything else?
Seeing Zhao Caiju like this, Li Qiufen had nothing to say.
Her daughter is very opinionated, and she can't control what she does.
"The doctor said that I'm pretty sure it's a boy in my belly. Second Master Su and Third Master Su only have one son, so they'll definitely cherish my child. A mother's status will rise with her son's! Once I'm in the Su family, I'll find a way to defeat the first wife, and then I'll be in charge of everything!"
Zhao Caiju was in high spirits. She was finally going to live a life of luxury. She never wanted to walk on such muddy roads covered with rotten leaves again. She would wear beautiful clothes and shoes and walk on the bluestone road.
No need to toil, no need to serve her in-laws, no need to go into the kitchen and make herself look ugly and old. She can live a good life with servants to wait on her and eating fine food every day. Thinking about the future, Zhao Caiju couldn't help but smile.
Back home to rest, Zhao Caiju didn't sleep well all night. As soon as it was light, she urged Li Qiufen to set off to the Su residence to wait for someone.
——
September 1st.
Qin Jin'an was listless and had not seen the Su family for the past few days, citing feeling cold and unwell as the reason.
Old Mrs. Yang couldn't wait any longer, but Old Man Su was still in pain and naturally couldn't bear to see her get better, so he tormented Old Mrs. Yang every day.
Old Mrs. Yang was in tears, but finally received good news last night, and this morning was a relief.
Early in the morning, Qin Jin'an ate a sumptuous breakfast, but she still didn't look very energetic after eating.
"Su Dai, you wait here. Your second uncle will have your grandmother come to you."
Su Changsheng looked at Qin Jin'an and said that he had also suspected that Qin Jin'an was faking it. He had asked a doctor to take a look, and the doctor said that her body was severely depleted and her senses had become unreliable.
In other words, the temperature feels the same as a normal person's, but she herself may still feel cold or in pain due to physical discomfort.
There's no good way to help, so I can only feed him good food and take good care of him.
The best way to help the child get better is to not exhaust her, but that's impossible for the Su family.
Qin Jin'an nodded: "Okay."
Su Changsheng got up and walked out.
White Dot rolled over on its belly next to Qin Jin'an, who patted it and said, "Go quickly."
Listening to the Su family talk was quite interesting. She was bored in the mansion every day, so she let Bai Diandian wander around and find amusement in the words Bai Diandian heard.
The white-spotted creature had gotten a little chubby, and it got up and ran outside.
Qin Jin'an walked to the corner of the yard and scattered some crumbs of pastry on the ground, which quickly attracted a group of ants. She watched with a smile.
She really likes these animals.
A couple of days ago, she saw a green snake catching a mouse. She was a little scared, but she heard the green snake say, "It's no wonder it can't escape. It's full."
Qin Jin'an told it, "Be careful not to be seen by others."
She intended to make friends in a friendly manner, but her words startled the green snake, which scrambled away in a flash.
But she had discovered that the green snake had made its home in the tree in her yard, and she would talk to it under the tree every day, although it never responded.
Qin Jin'an sat down and slowly ate a piece of jerky from her sleeve. It was jerky her mother had just made, pure jerky, spicy flavored. She had finished the spicy version yesterday, and now only the original flavor was left.
Hiss—
She heard a faint sound.
"Why isn't this child leaving yet? If I go down now, will she scream when she sees me...?"
"What if I disturb the two-legged creatures and they arrest me?"
The green snake hanging in the tree watched Qin Jin'an feeding ants below and muttered to itself.
Qin Jin'an heard the green snake's voice, and when she looked up, she saw the green snake hanging halfway down.
She smiled and said, "Hello, little green snake. Are you hungry? This is some dried meat my mother gave me. It's meat too, you know. Do you want some?"
Green Snake: "...Hiss..."
It flicked its tongue, stared at Qin Jin'an for a while, then twisted its body, climbed up the tree, and hid.
Qin Jin'an was a little disappointed. Just then, he heard footsteps outside the courtyard. He put the dried meat on the ground and went over.
"Su Dai, Grandma misses you so much. I hope you're feeling better. Thank you for thinking about my health. You're such a filial child."
Old Mrs. Yang smiled gently, looking very kind and gentle.
The white dot whimpered twice at Qin Jin'an's feet.
"No, she even cursed her master as a short-lived wretch on the way."
Bai Diandian tugged at Qin Jin'an's trouser leg and complained.
It didn't know why Qin Jin'an wanted to hear what these people had said, but it remembered what everyone said. So, seeing that Old Yang's behavior was different in public and in private, it immediately told Qin Jin'an the truth.
"Let's go inside."
Su Changsheng looked at Qin Jin'an, then bent down and hugged her.
Qin Jin was carried away with a clear conscience.
Back inside and sitting down, Old Madam Yang couldn't wait to ask, "Su Dai, how old will Grandma live?"
