Xia Shiyang's wedding dress took nearly two months to make and was finally completed.
On that day, people from Jinxiufang personally delivered clothes to the mansion.
Old Madam Xia personally greeted them, and seeing that she didn't recognize them, she asked, "Is your manager not here?"
"Reporting to Madam, my manager has been unwell these past few days and has been resting at home. I sent this to you."
"Sick? He was fine when I saw him last time, how come he's sick?"
Madam Xia had spoken with Xiao Cui last time and took a liking to the girl.
"Don't worry, Madam, the master has already sent a doctor."
Song Ning did send a doctor to Xiao Cui's residence, but did not find her.
Xiao Cui just felt a little weak. She had always been in good health, but she had been very busy lately and was tired, so she didn't have the doctor take her pulse.
After resting for a few days, although I still feel listless, I am noticeably better.
She's been enjoying some peace and quiet at home lately and hasn't been back to the Song family home for a long time, so she's planning to go back and stay there for a few days.
Liu Yuelan and Song Dahai treated her like their own daughter, and her grandfather also lived in the Song family and was taken care of by the two as an elder.
However, her grandfather is now old and doesn't go out much. He just walks around the house and talks with Grandma Liu and Grandma Xu.
As soon as he got back, he rolled up his sleeves and started helping Liu Yuelan with her work.
How could Liu Yuelan agree to that? She quickly pulled the person aside.
"You, now that you're in charge of the business, you've finally had a few days off and are feeling a bit better, so don't overexert yourself."
Actually, there were servants in the house, but Liu Yuelan was someone who couldn't sit still; she felt restless if she wasn't doing something.
"Just rest well, you don't need to worry about these things."
Xiao Cui is usually a busy person, but these past few days she feels like she's become lazy. Could it be that she used to work too much and now it's backfiring?
She used to never feel tired throughout the year, but lately, she just can't seem to muster any energy.
Hearing what Liu Yuelan said, he went back to his room to rest.
Lying in bed in a daze, I didn't know when I fell asleep.
I slept soundly until dark before waking up.
When I woke up and went outside, I noticed that the atmosphere at home seemed a bit off.
Song Ning returned and sat in the courtyard without saying a word. Liu Yuelan also looked worried, and even Yunniang looked at her strangely.
Song Ning smiled and asked, "Awake? Is there anything still bothering you?"
Xiao Cui shook her head: "No, I feel perfectly healthy now, boss. I can go back to the shop tomorrow."
Yunniang hesitated, then looked at Song Ning.
Song Ning stood up, his smile fading, his expression turning serious: "Xiao Cui, come inside with me."
Xiao Cui was puzzled; why did everyone in her family start acting so strangely after she took a nap?
The two entered the house, closed the door, and Song Ning asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"
Xiao Cui was stunned. Who is it?
"Boss, what are you asking?"
Song Ning's face was pale, and she looked like she was about to cry. He stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.
"Xiao Cui, it's my fault for not protecting you well."
ah?
"Boss, what's wrong with you?"
Song Ning's expression suddenly changed again, and she became agitated: "Tell me who bullied you, I'm going to find that bastard and get revenge."
Xiao Cui finally understood, and Song Ning knew.
"Master...you knew about this?"
"If I didn't know today, how long were you planning to keep it from me?"
Xiao Cui hesitated to speak: "This...it's not entirely his fault."
"You're still defending him? Do you even know your own situation?! Who is he anyway? I'll kill him for you!"
Xiao Cui knew that Song Ning was good to her, but in the end, this matter was not entirely his fault.
"Boss, I'm fine. We've already agreed to pretend this never happened and go our separate ways from now on."
Song Ning was stunned: "Xiao Cui, do you know what you're saying? You're pregnant, and that bastard doesn't want to take responsibility?"
Xiao Cui froze.
These words were like a bolt from the blue! What?!
"You slept all day today and couldn't be woken up. My mother was worried and called a doctor to our house. That's when she found out you're pregnant, already three months along. Xiao Cui, you..."
Song Ning felt guilty; she hadn't protected Xiao Cui properly and hadn't even known when she had been bullied.
Xiao Cui thought Song Ning only knew about her sleeping with that man, but it turns out...
ah?!
Xiao Cui's vision went black, and she slumped onto the stool. Sure enough, her luck had been really bad lately.
"How...how did they get a child?"
"You don't want it?"
"Of course I don't want it."
Unlike her employer, she never thought about carrying on the family line.
Anyway, her parents didn't treat her well. She was taken in by her grandfather, who said that his family had reached the end of its lineage and there was no need to continue.
Of course, she never thought about getting married.
She only wanted to stay with her employer for the rest of her life.
For her, these were the best days.
But now, she has a child.
If that person finds out, she's finished.
He suddenly grabbed Song Ning's hand and said earnestly, "Master, I'll go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine and get rid of the child."
Seeing that the person is unaware of this, the child can be aborted so that neither party is affected.
Song Ning didn't expect Xiao Cui to react like this. Xiao Cui has really gone astray by following her.
"Xiao Cui, have you thought this through? Miscarriage is very harmful to your body."
"Boss, I..."
"Tell me honestly, who is that person?"
Xiao Cui didn't tell her about such a big thing. Is it because that person has too much power? Is Xiao Cui afraid to speak up?
But Xiao Cui is her person, so even if that person had bad intentions, he wouldn't dare to do such a thing for the sake of the Duke's mansion.
Could it be...?
"Xiao Cui, do you like him?"
Xiao Cui suddenly panicked. Like it? No, she didn't.
Just thinking about that person makes my heart flutter.
"Master, actually... it wasn't that he forced me, it was... it was my own choice."
She was drunk and out of her mind. When she saw a handsome man in front of her, she lost her senses and pounced on him.
That person didn't want to take responsibility at first, so why did they later decide to take responsibility?
Xiao Cui couldn't make a decision, and Song Ning was in a bad mood. Even if Xiao Cui liked him, he couldn't be so irresponsible.
If she found out who that person was, she would really twist his head off.
Two days later, Xiao Cui suddenly found Song Ning and finally understood: "Master, I've thought it over. That man already has a wife, and I don't want to tell him. But I want to give birth to this child. He will be surnamed Song and will be a child of our Song family. He will have no relation to anyone else."
After all, it's a life, and it's her first time being pregnant; she... just can't bring herself to do it.
As long as she doesn't say it, no one will know who the child's father is.
The more I thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, so we decided on this.
