Cui Xiaoxiao is now nursing her fetus in the yard. Because she is pregnant, the old lady takes extra care of her, which makes her quite proud.
Cui Xiaoxiao heard some movement at the courtyard gate and thought it was Tianxiang returning. She asked, "Tianxiang, did the Second Master say he would send someone to buy me hawthorns? Did you tell him I wanted the big, sour ones?"
Cui Xiaoxiao turned around and saw that it wasn't Tianxiang standing at the door, but Wen Tingbai. Seeing Wen Tingbai's uneasy expression, Cui Xiaoxiao paused and asked, "Second Master? You didn't even tell me you were here. Come and sit down."
Wen Tingbai glanced at the food Cui Xiaoxiao had placed on the table. It was filled with all sorts of Shengjing fruits and snacks. He snorted coldly, "You really know how to enjoy yourself."
"Second Master, isn't it because I'm pregnant with your child that the old lady is showing me extra favor?" Cui Xiaoxiao stood up, holding her belly with one hand, and walked to Wen Tingbo and said, "Since Second Master is here, why don't you have dinner before leaving?"
"How can you eat more?" Wen Tingbai stared at Cui Xiaoxiao's face.
Cui Xiaoxiao has always been known for her delicate, gentle appearance and gentle words, which truly gave her a certain charm. However, after a while, I realized that Cui Xiaoxiao was just that pretty, and her words weren't as gentle and charming as before.
On the contrary, Song Wanning has a cold appearance and is a famous beauty in Shengjing.
When Wen Tingbai thought that his wife of three years had returned home and was going to marry someone else, he felt as if his heart was being fried in oil and was extremely uncomfortable.
After hearing what Wen Tingbai said, Cui Xiaoxiao showed a hurt expression and asked anxiously, "Second Master, are you going to blame me?"
"If it weren't for you, I would be living happily with Wan Ning in the mansion right now, with a bright future ahead of me. How come I've lost my sight and can't see what I really want?" Wen Tingbai's face was grim, and his words were harsh. "I brought you back and gave you a hard time. Now I owe the General's Mansion three thousand taels of silver, and I still can't pay it back."
"Second Master..." Cui Xiaoxiao heard Wen Tingbo's words and knew he was angry with her. But Cui Xiaoxiao also knew that she had caused trouble in the past and it was difficult to refute him. She just looked at Wen Tingbo and said, "Tingbo, all the mistakes were my fault. Now that I am pregnant with your child, it can be considered a great achievement. Tingbo, please forgive me this time."
As Cui Xiaoxiao spoke, she reached out to pull Wen Tingbo's sleeve, but was suddenly pushed away by Wen Tingbo.
"Now that you're pregnant, take good care of the baby." Wen Tingbai's eyes were gloomy, and he took out all his anger on Cui Xiaoxiao. "I will remarry in a while, and then this illegitimate child will be raised in the mistress's courtyard. When a legitimate child is born, you will serve the mistress as a servant. You can take care of yourself."
"Tingbai, Tingbai..." Cui Xiaoxiao slumped on the ground, watching Wen Tingbai leave in despair.
Tianxiang hurried over to help Cui Xiaoxiao, who was slumped on the ground, up, "Auntie, please be careful about the baby in your belly."
Cui Xiaoxiao's expression gradually turned from dejected to sinister. She fixed her gaze on Tianxiang. "When he brought me back, he said he would be with me forever. Now that time has passed, he's gone back on his word. How could I possibly let him live so carefree? He even said he wanted to raise my child under the name of the mistress of the house..."
"Auntie, what should we do now?" Tianxiang, Cui Xiaoxiao's personal maid, also looked distressed. "We can't stop the Second Master from getting married."
"I can't stop him from getting married." Cui Xiaoxiao wiped the tears from her face with her hand and sneered, "But I can prevent him from having children."
"Auntie..." Tianxiang was also frightened after hearing Cui Xiaoxiao's words, "If the Second Master knew about this, I'm afraid it would be a capital crime."
"Just don't let him know. I have my own way."
Now that Aunt Cui had a plan, she quickly set about doing it.
Soon, Tianxiang brought her some sterilization medicine from outside. "Auntie, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Auntie, you must think carefully."
"He is such an ungrateful man. Sparing his life is already giving him face." Cui Xiaoxiao made up her mind and poured the sterilization medicine in her hand into Wen Tingbo's tea while no one was around.
As luck would have it, the person who came to serve tea was Wen Tingbai's aunt Qiao Lian.
Wen Tingbai, who was handling official business in his study, saw Qiao Lian bringing him tea and heard her say in his ear, "Second Master, you've been working hard. I went to the kitchen and made you some tea that you like. Would you like some?"
Wen Tingbai now found Cui Xiaoxiao very annoying. Seeing his concubine, he also felt that she still had some charm. His attitude became better and he said softly, "You are a concubine now. Let the servants do these things of serving tea and water."
"Although I belong to the Second Master, I'm used to serving him." Qiao Lian smiled as she poured tea for Wen Tingbai. "I'm afraid no one else can do these delicate tasks."
Wen Tingbai smiled with relief, picked up the tea that Qiao Lian handed over, and drank it unconsciously. However, the tea tasted strange when it entered his mouth. "Why does this tea taste different from usual?"
After hearing what Wen Tingbo said, Qiao Lian quickly responded, "Maybe the mother who made the tea took a little longer."
Wen Tingbo took another sip and put the tea on the table.
"Second Master has been working hard, so Qiao Lian won't bother you." Qiao Lian said, casting a coquettish glance at Wen Tingbai. "I'll cook your favorite dishes in the yard later. Would you like to come and eat?"
Wen Tingbai smiled at Qiao Lian and said, "If you make it, you have to eat it."
Later, after Wen Tingbai finished his official duties, he remembered Qiao Lian's instructions and went to Qiao Lian's yard as she wished.
"The Second Master is here."
Seeing Wen Tingbai's gentle smile, Qiao Lian brought the prepared meals to the table one by one, "Qiao Lian remembers that the Second Master loves these the most. The Second Master has been busy all day and worked hard, so try these dishes to see if they are to your taste."
Wen Tingbai tasted it and patted Qiao Lian's hand gently, "It's hard for you to think about me so hard."
Qiao Lian smiled shyly when she heard Wen Tingbo praising her so much, and looked at Wen Tingbo with a hint of meaning, "Then, Second Master, are you still leaving tonight?"
Qiao Lian had dressed up specially for Wen Tingbo today. She wore clothes as thin as a cicada's wing and stuck close to Wen Tingbo, which made Wen Tingbo very moved.
"I'm not leaving. I'm staying in the yard with you."
After they finished their meal, Wen Tingbo took Qiao Lian's hand and went into the inner room.
The maids were standing outside and heard Wen Tingbai and Qiao Lian being affectionate with each other inside.
"Second Master..." Qiao Lian was used to serving Wen Tingbo, and her soft and boneless little hand reached out to that secret place during the intimacy.
Who would have thought that there would be no improvement for a long time.
Wen Tingbai's face darkened as he realized something. He immediately turned over and said, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do in the study. I'll go take care of it first."
