In Qiao Zhizhi's view, whether or not a person has offspring is not a standard for measuring a person's value.
There are so many things in life worth paying attention to.
Perhaps she was naturally less rigid, or perhaps she saw too many novel things in Lian'er's world, which greatly broadened her horizons, or perhaps it was because she devoted herself to painting and achieved certain results, which gave her a great sense of satisfaction.
But for some people, their world is only so big, consisting only of their crotch and procreation.
They also used this to measure her, and she didn't want to explain too much, thinking of using her values to persuade them and to fight against this world.
The most effective way to deal with these people is to refute their most pressing concerns, thwarting their dark and hidden intentions—that's the most lethal blow.
Before Wu Qingjin could react, the daughters and daughters-in-law of the Qiao family under the pavilion were already beaming with joy. They looked at each other and stood up from their seats.
"Did I hear that right? Zhizhi is pregnant! We've only been married for two months and we already have good news?" Lingyin exclaimed excitedly.
"Lian'er's medicine worked immediately after taking it." Qiao Xi'er was overjoyed. "I thought it would take at least a year or two. This is such a wonderful thing. I don't know how happy the two families will be when they find out."
Qiao Lian'er smiled. Lin Songyan's body was actually fine; her medicine was just a pretense.
"Well, it's all thanks to Sister Zhizhi and Young Master Lin's good fortune."
"That Wu Qingjin is really annoying. She's become like this, yet she doesn't stay at home. Instead, she comes out to scare people and says such nasty things. Old habits die hard," Ling Yin said with disgust.
Wu Qingjin was stunned and exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible! Didn't they say that Young Master Lin is infertile and has a deficiency? How could you be pregnant so soon after you got married?"
“Times change. Just like you, Miss Wu, you used to be a normal person with all four limbs intact. Now you have no hands and your whole body has become a skeleton. Who knows what will happen in the future? Who can imagine what changes will occur? You didn’t expect to be in this situation either.”
Qiao Zhizhi's words were all heartbreaking.
Wu Qingjin's face became increasingly contorted, and she shouted hysterically, "I don't believe you! You're just embarrassed and can't back down, so you lied about being pregnant. If you're so capable, give birth to the baby right now to prove it!"
Upon hearing this, everyone thought the woman in the wheelchair had gone mad, to the point of being delirious and illogical.
Qiao Zhizhi smiled without saying a word, as if she were looking at someone with intellectual disabilities.
The more she acted this way, the more people believed that she was indeed pregnant. A renowned painter whose name was famous throughout the capital, she was going to vouch for her reputation with her words in public.
So the people around her congratulated her.
The servants of the Wu family also felt ashamed and said, "Miss, let's go home. If we stay outside for too long, the master and mistress will worry."
Wu Qingjin immediately realized what nonsense she had just said. Facing so many mocking eyes, she was furious, her face turned red, and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
Although pregnancy is something that can't be hidden forever, what if Qiao Zhizhi is using some expedient means?
It was common knowledge among the elite families of the capital that the third young master of the Lin family was infertile. The countless dowries he gave to Qiao Zhizhi were precisely to compensate for this enormous defect.
Wu Qingjin suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "That Qiao Zhizhi! She's already having an affair right after getting married, and she's pregnant. Even if she is, it's definitely not Lin San Gongzi's child!"
Now they want to pin the blame on the Lin family? They're really making wishful thinking.
