Lin Xiuyan genuinely felt that she should stay away from Ye Junfei from now on.
Although she was very reluctant to have a relationship with him, she was truly willing to do so if sleeping with him for three nights would allow her to completely sever ties with him.
The worst thing is that this scoundrel will get carried away and become even more clingy to her.
That would truly be throwing good money after bad!
Because of this incident, Lin Xiuyan's joy at dealing with Zhou Chenyang and Jiang Xinrou diminished considerably.
Zhou Chenyang and Jiang Xinrou, whom she was concerned about, were both feeling very uneasy.
After Jiang Xinrou returned to the city lord's mansion last night, she was immediately kicked several times by Zhou Chenyang, who cursed her as an idiot.
The baby in her womb was not yet fully developed, and yesterday she experienced both great joy and sorrow. After being kicked several times by him, she immediately started bleeding.
When she screamed and collapsed to the ground, Zhou Chenyang thought she was acting.
He didn't realize something was really wrong until he saw the bright red stains on her skirt.
Although Zhou Chenyang felt that Jiang Xinrou was of lowly status and no longer of any use, she was still carrying his child.
He immediately sent someone to fetch a doctor, who, after taking the child's pulse, said directly, "The child cannot be saved."
Zhou Chenyang was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, and when he looked at Jiang Xinrou again, he was filled with disgust.
She's no longer of any use.
When Zhou Chenyang thought about how she had ruined the image he had painstakingly built in Chongqing, he became furious.
It's only because she's still his newlywed wife that he doesn't want to kill her; otherwise, he would. (M.cascoo.net)
After learning that she had lost her child, Jiang Xinrou panicked.
When she saw Zhou Chenyang's disgusted look again, she knew that her future situation would be very miserable.
She cried, "Lord of the city, our child was killed by the Lin family! You must avenge our child!"
Zhou Chenyang's eyes were full of hostility. He ignored her and only told Hongxiu to take good care of Jiang Xinrou.
Hongxiu responded, but clutched her chest as if she was about to vomit.
Zhou Chenyang asked her, "What's wrong?"
Hongxiu brought him a specially prepared medicine last night. With this medicine, the wound on his hand will heal much faster.
Because of this incident, his attitude towards Hongxiu improved slightly.
Hongxiu blushed and said, "The doctor is right here. Could you please let him take my pulse?"
This was no big deal, and Zhou Chenyang immediately agreed.
After taking Hongxiu's pulse, the doctor was somewhat surprised. He glanced at Hongxiu and said, "This young lady is two months pregnant."
Jiang Xinrou and Zhou Chenyang were both somewhat surprised.
Jiang Xinrou was still in a daze. She asked Hongxiu with some surprise, "When did you get pregnant? Who is the father of the child?"
Hongxiu looked at Zhou Chenyang shyly and said softly, "Please, City Lord, grant me a proper title."
Zhou Chenyang's expression was slightly awkward. He glanced at Jiang Xinrou indifferently, then took Hongxiu's hand and said, "From now on, you will be my concubine."
Hongxiu said sweetly, "Thank you, City Lord. I will definitely serve you well in the future."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Xinrou and said, "Sister, we must get along well from now on."
It was only then that Jiang Xinrou realized that Hongxiu had actually been having an affair with Zhou Chenyang behind her back!
Her eyes widened in disbelief as she recalled how much effort she had put into hooking up with Zhou Chenyang, only to find that Hongxiu had also betrayed her!
This feeling drove her crazy!
She shouted angrily, "Hongxiu, you!"
Hongxiu lowered her gaze slightly and said, "Sister, don't worry, I will share your burdens. From now on, I will serve the city lord with you."
Zhou Chenyang had no interest in their rivalry.
In his eyes, Jiang Xinrou, an orphan raised by merchants, was not much more noble than Hongxiu, who was a maid.
Not to mention that Jiang Xinrou made him lose face today. She lost the child in her belly and also lost the support of the Lin family. She is a complete waste.
He showed no intention of protecting her, and simply said, "I have something to do, I'll be going now."
He didn't wait for their reply and turned to leave.
As soon as he left, Jiang Xinrou wanted nothing more than to tear Hongxiu apart: "You bitch!"
"I've been so good to you, and you actually seduced Yang-gege behind my back!"
She had just suffered a miscarriage and was still very weak. She could barely sit up and had no strength to tear Hongxiu.
Hongxiu looked down at her and said, "If you can seduce the city lord behind Lin Xiuyan's back, why can't I seduce the city lord behind your back?"
"You want to live a good life, and so do I, sister. All my skills came from you!"
These words were like a heavy slap across Jiang Xinrou's face, leaving her eyes filled with disbelief!
Because Hongxiu was very loyal to her, she entrusted many things to Hongxiu to handle.
Little did she know that Hongxiu had never truly been loyal to her!
She gritted her teeth and said, "You'll get your comeuppance!"
Hongxiu said dismissively, "Let's talk about karma when it comes. I'm fine now anyway."
“After all, I am now carrying the city lord’s child, while your child is gone.”
"As long as I give birth to a son this time, my position in the city lord's mansion will be secure."
"On the contrary, you occupy the position of the principal wife, but you do not have the ability to match it. Sooner or later, you will be divorced by the city lord."
She was vain, but because of her lowly status, she saw things more clearly than Jiang Xinrou.
She has now come to see some of Zhou Chenyang's cold-hearted nature.
That's why she didn't want to become Zhou Chenyang's legal wife. As a maid, it was already good enough that she could marry Zhou Chenyang as a concubine.
Hongxiu's words were like a knife piercing Jiang Xinrou's heart.
She ignored Jiang Xinrou and strode out.
Jiang Xinrou quickly calmed down. She thought about her situation and realized that it was indeed very bad.
She felt a little flustered, but the panic didn't last long before she came up with a solution.
Now that she has lost her child, the only way for her to win Zhou Chenyang's favor is to help him earn an endless amount of money.
Although she failed to acquire the Lin family's assets today, she had been helping Lin Yunzhi manage the Lin family's business all along, so she knew exactly how to do business.
She also knew the strengths and weaknesses of the Lin family's businesses, and where there was any opportunity for her to take advantage!
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and decided to let Hongxiu be arrogant for a few days first, and then she would make a comeback after she recovered!
She refused to believe that with her intelligence and talent, she couldn't win Zhou Chenyang's favor. How could she possibly keep that bitch Hongxiu from dying?
Zhou Chenyang was in a bad mood, not only because he had lost face and the Lin family's money today, but also because he was unhappy that Lin Xiuyan had escaped from his grasp.
He had just returned to his room when Liu Tianwen rushed over in a hurry: "City Lord, something has happened."
