Chapter 71 Qin Huanhuan is pregnant]
The three little ones were too young and she was afraid they would get burned, so Chen Fenghe forbade them from getting close to the pot. It was she or Qin Mengyue who picked up the cooked vegetables or rabbit meat and put them in their bowls.
The two adults and three children gathered around the pot, eating happily. After a while, their cold bodies gradually warmed up, and even beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
While Qin Mengyue was eating, she noticed the internal strife in the Qin family and the miserable scene of old lady Zhang, who was left unattended. She couldn't help but sigh.
"The Zhang family was so arrogant in the past, but I never thought they would end up like this today. It really is karma."
In the past, Qin Mengyue’s grandfather favored Zhang alone. Zhang was the actual head of the Qin family’s backyard. Who in the entire inner house didn’t flatter her?
Who could have imagined that even her own son and grandson would plot against her and abandon her.
Chen Fenghe glanced over there calmly and said, "If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked. If she had done some good deeds when she was in power and taught her sons and grandsons well, she wouldn't have ended up like this."
But... maybe.
Human nature is the most vulnerable to test.
In the past, when one was rich and powerful, who wouldn't want to seek fame and reputation, and play the role of a filial son? Now, in exile, starving and freezing, who would still want to act? Who wouldn't selfishly think about themselves?
However, the Qin family is even worse. Given their current situation, they still have money on them, and it is not yet to the point where their humanity is tested. They have already torn their relations apart.
Qin Mengyue nodded and said, "That's right. She deserves it."
Chen Fenghe was relieved to see that Qin Mengyue did not show any sympathy or help out of pity for Old Lady Zhang.
Although he was somewhat naive and foolish at first, he became a clear-headed person when he fell to the ground.
As they talked, they had already finished their hot pot dishes. Chen Fenghe fished out the soft, mushy bones from the pot, each of them taking a bone and eating all the meat off it. Finally, they drank the warm rabbit soup.
The two adults and one child were all well fed. At that moment, Qin Mengyue and Shen Fenghe hurriedly began to sew cotton clothes and animal skins.
I don’t know when the snow will stop. The most feared thing in winter is hypothermia, so I have to make cotton clothes quickly.
In the Qin family, the first and second wives each had their own ulterior motives, and Qin Jinzhong was a stingy person, so in the end he did not buy the rabbit meat. The whole family boiled the remaining millet into porridge like clear soup, giving each person a bowl, and broke up the black steamed buns distributed by the officials and threw them into the porridge to fill their stomachs.
Qin Huanhuan couldn't sit still anymore.
It's been several days, why is Li Yong still angry? Now she is a nuisance in the Qin family, she can't lose Li Yong as a backer!
Qin Huanhuan racked her brains, thinking about how to win Li Yong back.
Suddenly, an idea popped up in her mind.
She took a mouthful of porridge, then suddenly dropped the bowl, ran to the side, and started vomiting violently.
The dilapidated temple was not a big place, so everyone naturally saw her making such a big noise.
Some experienced women began to discuss secretly: "This Qin Huanhuan...could she be pregnant?"
"Probably! Tsk! A young woman who's not even married yet is actually pregnant. How... immoral!"
"Is this child that Lai Hu's?"
"That's not certain. Who knows how many men she's had affairs with? From now on, we must keep a close eye on the men in our family and don't let this slut steal our men!"
…
When the Qin family heard these rumors, their faces turned pale and they all showed disgust towards Qin Huanhuan.
Qin Huanhuan didn't care. She secretly glanced at Li Yong.
Her reputation was already bad, so she wasn't afraid of it getting even worse. The most important thing was to get Li Yong's attention and get him to come to her...
Sure enough, several officers heard the commotion and looked over here, Li Yong was one of them.
When Qin Huanhuan saw him looking at her, she immediately showed a miserable expression and then started vomiting again.
Shen Fenghe looked over coldly.
Calculating the time when she last ran into Qin Huanhuan and Li Yong, if she had not had an affair with Lai Hu before that, then the child must indeed be Li Yong's.
Of course, the premise is that she is really pregnant.
Anyway, she wanted to see what she was up to.
Late at night, Qin Huanhuan secretly went to the outside of the dilapidated temple, and Li Yong also sneaked over while no one was paying attention.
"Li...Brother Li, you are finally willing to see me?" Qin Huanhuan looked at Li Yong sadly and couldn't help wiping away tears.
Li Yong looked at Qin Huanhuan's thin and haggard appearance, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed, but when he thought of her having an affair with that scoundrel behind his back, he became angry again.
However, now that she was pregnant, judging by the date, it was very likely to be his, but he couldn't just sit back and watch.
"Are you really... pregnant?" Li Yong asked coldly.
Qin Huanhuan flinched for a moment before nodding and saying, "I, I should. But Brother Li, you... don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I will give birth to this child... and raise him alone. I will never bring trouble to Brother Li..."
Li Yong remembered that when Qin Huanhuan was found to have committed adultery, she would rather die than reveal that he was the man, and his heart softened.
But why did she follow that Lai Hu...
Li Yong angrily kicked a stone away and asked through gritted teeth, "Let me ask you, when did you and that Lai Hu get together?"
Qin Huanhuan was delighted. The fact that he came to see her tonight and asked about Lai Hu meant that there was still hope!
“Brother Li…” Qin Huanhuan burst into tears as she spoke, hesitantly saying, “I… I was also forced to do this… After Chen Fenghe ruined my reputation last time, which of these exiled men didn’t look at me with lustful expressions?
That scoundrel took advantage of me being alone and threatened me, saying he knew who my mistress was, and if I didn't obey him, he would tell everyone and ruin that man's reputation. I... I had no choice but to protect Brother Li, so I let him..."
When Li Yong heard this, his expression changed: "Then Lai Hu...how did he know?"
Qin Huanhuan wiped her tears and said, "I flattered him and asked him before, and he told me...it was Chen Fenghe who told him secretly..."
After hearing this, Li Yong's face turned gloomy.
Is it Shen Fenghe again? She had already caused Qin Huanhuan to lose her virginity last time, and yet she still refuses to give up and comes to harm her again?
Lai Hu forced Qin Huanhuan, and it was all instigated by Chen Fenghe!
"What you said... is true?"
"Brother Li, I... If I say anything false, I'll be struck by lightning. Chen Fenghe is jealous of your love and care for me, so she wants to harm me and you, too...
