When Liu Rouhan returned, no one in each household had woken up yet and the courtyard was deserted.
She stared at the door of the Chen family's women's room.
When she saw a maid push open the door and come out to get some water for washing, she rushed in at once.
In the guest room, the old lady of the Chen family had just gotten up and was sitting by the bed, having the maid help her get dressed.
Seeing the woman suddenly rushing in, she was frightened half to death and angrily cursed: "Where did you come from, you bitch! You disturbed my peace, hurry up and slap her in the face!"
After saying that, the maid beside her came over with a ferocious face.
Liu Rouhan shouted loudly: "I have Chen Daoyu's child in my body!"
His eyes turned and he said with some pride, "Now he is the only legitimate grandson of your Chen family!"
Old Madam Chen frowned, thinking of Chen Daoyu's current condition, and raised her hand to stop the maid's action, "Call the Madam."
Liu Rouhan snorted coldly and sat smugly on the bench beside her.
As soon as Mrs. Chen entered the room, she saw the pretentious Liu Rouhan and her eyes showed displeasure.
She was also a lady from an aristocratic family, and she hated the behavior of Liu Rouhan, who came from a humble family.
With disgust in her eyes, she said, "Mother-in-law, the maid has already told me about this on the way."
He turned around and looked at Liu Rouhan: "Do you have any evidence to prove that the baby in your belly is Chen Daoyu's?"
Liu Rouhan smoothed the scattered hair on her forehead and said with a sweet smile: "Chen Daoyu and I had sex two and a half months ago, and the baby in my belly is also two and a half months old. If you don't believe me, you can go ask Chen Daoyu and the doctor. By the way—"
As she spoke, she took out a chicken feather from her lapel and boasted, "I asked the goddess for this yesterday. The goddess said that the baby in my belly is a boy, and that I will have great fortune in the future."
Upon hearing this, the old lady of the Chen family and Mrs. Chen were both shocked.
The ancients were superstitious and would not falsify matters concerning gods and Buddhas.
So they knew that what Liu Rouhan said must be true.
Old Madam Chen stared at the chicken feather, "The goddess actually gave you a divine object. Bring it here and let me see it."
Liu Rouhan twisted her waist and hid the chicken feathers in her clothes, with a vigilant look in her eyes: "This is given to me by the goddess alone, no one else can touch it."
Old Mrs. Chen withdrew her hand awkwardly, "Since it was given to you by the goddess, keep it well. It will also benefit the fortune of my Chen family in the future."
This sentence is equivalent to agreeing to Liu Rouhan's entry.
Mrs. Chen understood what Old Lady Chen meant and said, "I'll have the servants arrange a room for you so that you can have a good pregnancy."
Liu Rouhan's eyes flashed with surprise, and she grabbed the hem of her skirt tightly, "I also want two maids to take care of me."
Mrs. Chen looked at Liu Rouhan's hands with disdain in her heart, and thought to herself, your hands are thicker than our maid's, why are you pretending to be a noble lady!
He even had the audacity to ask the maid to take care of him. He is so shameless that he can make a hole in his skin.
But thinking that this person was enlightened by the goddess after all, he nodded and said, "Okay, but I warn you, watch your mouth and don't tell Yu Ge'er things that you shouldn't tell, otherwise--"
After Liu Rouhan left, Mrs. Chen immediately sent someone to call Chen Daoyu over and asked him about Liu Rouhan.
Chen Daoyu was surprised. "She's not dead? She's pregnant? If she's pregnant, just abort it. I don't want the Chen family's child to bleed the blood of such a lowly woman."
The entire Chen family is still hiding the secret from Chen Daoyu.
I didn't tell him that his penis might not be able to get erection.
Therefore, Mrs. Chen's eyes were gloomy and she comforted him: "After all, he is the offspring of the Chen family, so you should keep him. When he is born, I will raise him myself."
Chen Daoyu said in disgust, "Thank you for your hard work, mother."
———
As soon as Xie Ling woke up today, she heard the gossip that Qiuyue had heard at the dining table.
It is said that Liu Rouhan from the second house is not dead and is now the concubine of the eldest son of the Chen family.
He was dressed in all the right attire, and when he went out he was accompanied by two maids. He walked with his chin held high, looking very majestic.
She also showed off everywhere the magical object given to her by the goddess.
Xie Ling understood that the child Liu Rouhan was pregnant with was actually Chen Daoyu's?
It was hot, and the family was having dinner under a big tree in the inn when suddenly a laugh came from a distance.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. Liu Rouhan was wearing luxurious brocade clothes and a chicken feather in her hair. She looked disdainful and said, "Oh, isn't this the eldest wife of the Gu family? You didn't expect that I'm not dead, did you? One day, I will trample all of you under my feet!"
Ru Jieer was innocent. She pointed at Liu Rouhan and laughed, "Hahaha, she wears chicken feathers on her head. How funny!"
Liu Rouhan frowned fiercely, "What do you know, you little bitch? This is the Phoenix Feather that the Goddess gave me. It is the only one of its kind in the world!"
Xie Ling played with the chopsticks in her hand, and with one hand exerted force, the chopsticks flew out like an arrow and hit Liu Rouhan in the face.
"Apologize to my sister Ru."
Liu Rouhan was so angry that her face turned pale, "Xie Ling, you dare to hit me?"
Xie Ling's voice was cold, "I hit you, what's wrong?"
Liu Rouhan knew that she could not beat Xie Ling, and her chest heaved up and down with anger. She only dared to talk, "You will be nothing but lowly people in the future, but I will be able to return to the capital and become an honored person in a few days..."
After saying this, she hurried away with her two maids.
Afraid of being beaten by Xie Ling again.
Then continue to the next one to show off.
She wished that everyone in the world knew that she had obtained the phoenix feather given by the goddess.
Xie Ling looked at Liu Rouhan's hair with flying feathers, and it took her extraordinary self-control to hold back her laughter.
She had important things to do today, so after breakfast, she asked Qiuyue to call people from the Xu, Wu, Gao, and Shi families over.
These four families are all on good terms with the Gu family.
The one who came from the Xu family was Yu Niang, and the ones who came from the Wu family were Wu Sanlang and Wu Zhengqing.
The one who came from the Gao family was Gao Wanhua, and the ones who came from the Shi family were the two Shi brothers.
A group of people gathered outside the Gu family's guest room, all with anxious looks on their faces, thinking that the Gu family had encountered some difficulties.
Shi Shaoxuan was a passionate person, and he said directly: "Sister Xie Ling, what bad things have happened to you? You are the one who cured my hand, Shi Erlang, even if you have to go through fire and water..."
The others also agreed.
Xie Ling thought that she had not misjudged the person, and chuckled: "Calling you here today is not a disaster, but a happy event. I want to help you make money and become rich. Are you willing?"
Everyone looked confused.
Make money and get rich?
Xie Ling continued, "Didn't the goddess say that fragrant soap can prevent diseases? So these days, fragrant soap must be very popular.
It just so happens that I know how to make fragrant soap, and I plan to teach you the method so that we can make money together. Do you agree?"
Xie Ling knows a lot of things, such as making salt, smelting iron, and refining glass... making soap is just a trivial skill for her.
These days, the fragrant soap in Jincheng will be in short supply.
Why doesn't she take the opportunity to make some money?
The Gu family alone couldn't handle the job, so they were called upon to join in.
Everyone's face was filled with confusion and uncertainty after being overwhelmed by joy.
During the exile, the money that each household had saved was almost spent. Everyone had to tighten their belts and frugally eat, and they couldn't even get enough to eat.
Now Xie Ling actually said that she wanted to help them make money?
Do you also need to teach them how to use the scented soap?
