The next day, she heard from her maid that Huo Jingsha had given away Aunt Ying and also sold off several maids who had been loose-lipped and had told her about Aunt Ying's affairs.
Upon hearing this, You Shuyao was stunned! This was outrageous! If word got out, wouldn't her reputation as a jealous woman be confirmed? She was truly wronged; she really wasn't jealous, she just wanted to tease her husband.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before word spread that Madam Huo loved her husband dearly, was extremely jealous, couldn't tolerate the existence of concubines, and only wanted to monopolize her husband's affections. You Shuyao, upon hearing this, was so upset that she couldn't even eat her dinner properly. When had she ever been so jealous? Now that she knew who had spread the rumors, she would get rid of them before Huo Jingsha could even deal with them!
Little did he know, Huo Jingsha himself had spread the word. He told everyone he met, "My wife truly loves me to the point of being willing to give her life for me. How could she tolerate sharing me with other women? Alas! So distressing, so distressing!"
But everyone could see that he didn't look "unhappy and distressed" at all. On the contrary, he was beaming with pride. When the officials saw that Lord Huo, who was usually aloof and decisive, also had such a childish side, they all agreed and said that he was lucky to have such a good wife. What more could a husband ask for? It was a blessing from heaven and a man's good fortune.
Huo Jingsha nodded, and then sighed in "trouble"... "So, I think we should stop giving women as gifts in the future. Not only does it cause unrest in my home, but it also affects our relationship as husband and wife. It's not like women are the only gifts we can give. There are many other gifts that can be given instead. What do you all think?"
The officials choked on their words, but still forced smiles on their faces, while inwardly they were thinking... If they were specifically forbidden from sending women, could they send other gifts instead? Why not just say they wanted real money? When it comes to being pragmatic, Lord Huo is the best.
Although everyone was inwardly complaining, none of them dared to show it on their faces. After all, they were always walking by the river and were bound to get their shoes wet. They might fall into his hands one day and have their homes confiscated. They were hoping he would take care of them.
You Shuyao took advantage of her period to have a few days of leisure, but the maids around her saw clearly the beastly eyes that were gleaming with an eerie light in the master's eyes.
The master is clearly sexually frustrated, and he makes a scene almost every month. But the mistress is forgetful and doesn't learn her lesson. She even deliberately provokes the master. The longer he abstains, the more intense his release becomes afterward. Seeing the mistress defying the rules, the women were all secretly sweating... The consequences will definitely be unimaginable!
But carefree times are always short-lived. A few days later, once You Shuyao's period was over, Huo Jingsha devoured her from head to toe that very night, making up for all the time she had missed in the past few days.
Only then did she belatedly realize that although she had stolen a few days of leisure, she hadn't gained anything. This man was never one to suffer a loss. She thought she had gotten the better deal, but what she had to make up for later was more than the number of times she had taken advantage of him in those few days combined. Sigh! How come she could never outsmart him? He was so calculating, not a single penny could be lost. Having a husband like this, she really didn't know whether to laugh or cry!
From then on, You Shuyao learned her lesson and never dared to tease Wolf again when Wolf's eyes gleamed with lust.
However, when she learned her lesson and prepared to behave herself during her period the following month, it was delayed by half a month. Huo Jingsha hurriedly asked a doctor to take her pulse. The old doctor said with a blank expression, "Congratulations, sir, the lady is pregnant, and it has been more than two months."
Shu Yao's eyes welled up with tears, but Huo Jingsha remained silent for a long time.
It wasn't that he was unhappy about her pregnancy, but rather that he didn't plan to let her get pregnant so early. They were both still young and had only been married for a few months. They could have had a child in a couple of years. He hadn't even had enough time to enjoy the pleasures of being with his wife, and now she was pregnant. Would he have to be a vegetarian for the next ten months?
Looking at the young woman's face, wet with tears of joy, and the several maids attending to her with even greater attentiveness, he asked softly, "Do you want a child that much?"
Shu Yao nodded eagerly. "Of course I want it! This is our first child, how could I not want it?"
Seeing how happy she was to have her own child, Huo Jingsha's heart softened. Yes... this is their first child, and it is something to celebrate!
Alright! Since she already has one, let's grant her wish! Besides, it's good that she has a child; she won't be thinking about running away all the time anymore.
Don't think he doesn't know. She tried every trick in the book to get out of the manor. Did she think she could fool his discerning eyes? Hmph, she was just showing off her skills in front of Guan Yu. He saw through all her little tricks, but he only turned a blind eye because he loved her too much and couldn't bear to criticize her.
When a woman has a child, her heart tends to settle down, even though he doesn't care about the child at all and only wants her from beginning to end.
You Shuyao was overjoyed, so much so that her eyes were blurry with tears. Besides being happy for the new life in her womb, she was even happier that she could finally rest for a long time. Subtracting the current two months of pregnancy, plus postpartum recovery, she would have a full year to relax and enjoy herself.
Pregnant women are the most important, and because of the child in her belly, Huo Jingsha didn't dare to touch her casually. She had to treat her with utmost care, so of course she was overjoyed.
However, she would never let him know her true intentions, and she would enjoy this year of tyranny. Anyway, she had come to terms with it; once the man abstained, he would definitely come back to her to make up for it, so she might as well enjoy herself while she could and deal with the future later.
She could provoke him if she wanted, tease him if she wanted, and even if she touched his tiger's butt, he wouldn't say a word to her. At most, he would leave some bruises on her body and cover them up with a few more layers of clothing.
"Jingsha..." she called him in a deliberately sweet, coquettish voice, knowing he couldn't resist her seductive tone. She nestled even closer to him, her breath brushing against his ear, "I feel a little tired, I guess it's because the baby's getting bigger, my whole body feels weak..."
Sure enough, she felt that the way he looked at her had changed, and a certain part of his body had also undergone physiological changes.
Huo Jingsha closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, but still had to gently coax her. "Then my wife should get some sleep. It would break my heart if you got too tired."
"Okay, I won't let my husband feel sorry for me. Then sleep with me. I want you to touch my belly so I can sleep peacefully." She softened her waist, climbed onto his shoulder, and even buried her face in his chest, her eyes curving into a mischievous smile.
Huo Jingsha picked her up and carried her back to the bed, but his heart was in turmoil, not knowing what to do. Asking him to abstain for so long was practically asking him to die! This little girl, whether on purpose or not, kept snuggling into his arms. This... this... he could endure it for a month, but now a year... he couldn't bear it no matter what!
It's so frustrating to be able to see it, touch it, but not be able to eat it!
No, he has to find that old doctor to study this carefully. Can a living person die from holding their urine? There must be a compromise. Let's see if there's a way that won't harm the pregnant woman while still allowing him to relieve himself.
Once he made up his mind, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he drifted off to sleep, embracing his wife and children...
