Chapter 89: Being Smart
There was something behind Shen Ningyuan's words, and Cui Mingzhu was shocked when she heard it.
But when she looked up, she saw Shen Ningyuan smiling, as if she was really blessing her from the bottom of her heart.
Cui Mingzhu suppressed her uneasiness, forced a smile, and said, "Thank you for your blessing, cousin. When I get married to the father of my child, I will definitely invite you to the wedding for a drink."
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
She had drunk Ji Yunchuan and Cui Mingzhu’s wedding wine in her previous life.
It was just that on the day of their wedding, Ji Yunchuan held Cui Mingzhu's hand and poured a glass of wine on the floor in front of the chastity arch.
No matter what, she got to drink it.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan looked at Cui Mingzhu meaningfully, and responded slowly: “Okay, I will definitely go to the wedding wine of my cousin and my sweetheart.”
In this life, she will slowly sprinkle the wine from their wedding cups in front of their graves.
Cui Mingzhu didn't know what Shen Ningyuan was thinking, and thought she was convinced by herself.
She immediately said, "So, cousin, you should keep my pregnancy a secret for the time being and don't tell my aunt and uncle, okay?"
"Okay." Shen Ningyuan agreed readily.
Of course she wouldn't let her parents know about these bad things.
Seeing that Shen Ningyuan agreed to her, Cui Mingzhu finally felt relieved.
Then, he looked at the sky outside and continued to ask, "Cousin, how long have I been unconscious?"
"You fainted last night and woke up the next afternoon, so it's only been six hours."
"Six hours?" Cui Mingzhu looked panicked. "I haven't been home all night, and I haven't been home yet until this hour. My aunt will be worried if she sees that I haven't been back to the general's mansion for such a long time..."
"No, I have to go back quickly."
As she said that, Cui Mingzhu lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed.
Shen Ningyuan quickly stopped her and said, “Don’t worry, cousin. I sent someone to inform my parents early in the morning that I was in a bad mood. I ran into my cousin on the road yesterday and specially asked my cousin to come to the villa to accompany me for one night.”
"Did aunt and uncle agree?" Cui Mingzhu asked again.
Shen Ningyuan nodded, "Yes, they agreed."
Hearing this, Cui Mingzhu lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
After a while, Cui Mingzhu suddenly looked up, looked at Shen Ningyuan and said, "Cousin, I have something to discuss with you. It concerns me and the baby in my belly. I hope you can agree to it."
Chen Ningyuan followed Cui Mingzhu's words and continued: "If you have anything to say, just speak up, cousin, don't be polite to me."
Chen Ningyuan asked Cui Mingzhu not to be polite, and Cui Mingzhu really was not polite.
Grabbing Shen Ningyuan's hand, he said straight to the point: "I want to stay in my cousin's villa to take care of the baby."
Shen Ningyuan: “…”
Well, she thought Cui Mingzhu would be more roundabout.
I didn't expect her to be so direct. The first thing she said was that I wanted to stay in her villa to take care of the pregnancy.
Having said that, she couldn't figure out whether Cui Mingzhu trusted her or was really using her as a fool.
But, this is exactly what she wants.
Cui Mingzhu was taking care of her pregnancy in her villa, which made it easier to monitor her every move.
Of course, she couldn't agree too readily, otherwise it would arouse Cui Mingzhu's suspicion.
So, Shen Ningyuan looked at Cui Mingzhu in embarrassment and asked, "My cousin wants to stay in my yard to take care of the baby. I'm afraid it's not appropriate. If my parents ask about it, how should I answer?"
"My cousin has just experienced the pain of losing her husband, and she needs someone to accompany her. It is not appropriate for me, an unmarried daughter, to live in the Marquis' Mansion. Isn't it normal for me to accompany my cousin in the other courtyard to relieve her pain of losing her husband?"
"The pain of losing a husband is like tearing my heart apart every day. Isn't it understandable that I have been with my cousin for a year or so?"
"When the baby is born, no matter whether it's a boy or a girl, I'll give it to my cousin for adoption. How about that?"
Speaking of this, Cui Mingzhu's eyes brightened.
But seeing that Chen Ningyuan frowned and said nothing, Cui Mingzhu thought she was still hesitating.
He continued to persuade her, “What’s more, this will be of great benefit to my cousin!”
"Benefits?" Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows, looked at Cui Mingzhu with a smile, and asked, "Cousin, tell me, what are the benefits?"
She wanted to hear what kind of ivory could come out of Cui Mingzhu's dog mouth.
"My cousin and my brother-in-law have been married for a year, but they still don't have a child. Now my brother-in-law died in the war, and my cousin has no children. If she adopts my child, regardless of whether he is of the Marquis's bloodline or not, she will have someone to rely on, right?"
Shen Ningyuan: “…”
When people are speechless, they really laugh.
At this moment, Shen Ningyuan looked at Cui Mingzhu, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
But she pretended to be shocked and asked, "Cousin, do you mean to give the baby in your belly to me?"
"What do you think of my idea, cousin?" Cui Mingzhu asked anxiously.
how?
Not a big deal!
All these abacus beads have been sent to my grandma's house!
If she really adopted a child, she would raise him under her own name and let him inherit the title of the Marquis.
It will be extremely difficult for her to escape from the Marquis' Mansion!
What’s more, the baby in Cui Mingzhu’s belly is really the Marquis’s child!
When the child grows up and wants to recognize his biological mother, what should she do?
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan looked at Cui Mingzhu's greedy and eager eyes, feeling inexplicably annoyed.
Not wanting to continue dealing with her, he waved his hand casually and said, "If cousin wants to stay in another hospital to take care of the baby, then go ahead. But you have to tell my parents about this in person. I have never lied since I was a child, and I am afraid that I might let it slip in front of my parents because I am nervous."
"So, to be on the safe side, cousin, you should go and talk to her yourself."
She had to slowly guide her father and mother away from their suspicion of Cui Mingzhu.
In this way, when she reveals Cui Mingzhu's true face in the future, her mother will be more likely to accept it.
Cui Mingzhu originally wanted Shen Ningyuan to come forward so that she could move out of the Shen family smoothly.
But Shen Ningyuan's words made her feel that they made sense.
It’s better to leave such an important matter to yourself!
Thinking of this, Cui Mingzhu said, "My cousin is right. I'll go talk to my aunt and uncle and tell them that your husband just died and you are depressed and have suicidal tendencies. They want me to stay with you in the other courtyard for a while. I'll go back to the Shen family when you're in good spirits."
Shen Ningyuan: “…”
Seeing Cui Mingzhu's matter-of-fact look, Shen Ningyuan was speechless again, feeling choked up in her heart.
Unexpectedly, Cui Mingzhu even made up an excuse hoping that she would commit suicide.
How much do these black-hearted villains want her to die!
Shen Ningyuan forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart and said calmly: “Okay, cousin, go and convince my parents according to this argument.”
"I'll arrange a carriage to take you back to the Shen family."
Having said that, Shen Ningyuan stood up and walked out the door.
"Cousin!" Cui Mingzhu stopped Chen Ningyuan and said anxiously, "No, no, no need to arrange a carriage for me. It's only half an hour's journey from here to the Marquis' Mansion. I can walk back by myself. I won't bother you with this little thing."
