"Miss, the informant also mentioned something else. I heard that the general wants to take a male infertility drug because of that slut."
"What?"
Chen Yunniang sat up abruptly, her eyes wide and frightening, like a bull's eyes.
"But that bitch didn't agree. She said she was already very touched by the general's kindness, and she didn't want the general to regret it in the future."
"She didn't want her in-laws to think she was too selfish, so the general was eventually persuaded to back down."
Chen Yunniang finally breathed a sigh of relief. What would she do if Lu Ziqian really lost his child because of that slut?
Even if she marries into the general's mansion in the future, she will be nothing without children.
Fortunately, Lu Ziqian wasn't that foolish. Even if he spoiled her, he couldn't be without limits.
"Miss, the general has arrived."
Chen Yunniang immediately lay down and pretended to be unconscious, her face pale and translucent, as if she were terminally ill.
Seeing that the person was in such a state and could not be woken up no matter what he did, Lu Ziqian could only leave someone to watch over him while he went back first.
After returning home, she immediately began the adoption process, and Bai Qingrou voluntarily adopted her youngest son, Lu Xingzhou, under Su Yujiao's name.
"Sister-in-law, how can you bear to part with her?"
Bai Qingrou smiled and said, "What's there to be reluctant about? You won't mistreat Zhou-ge'er."
"Besides, you saved his life, so you are his second parents. He should recognize you as his mother."
"Big brother agrees too?"
"It was your older brother who asked me to come; otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to make such a big decision on my own."
"Zhou-ge'er, quickly kneel down and call her mother."
Zhou Ge'er tilted his little head, seemingly a little confused. Why did he have to call his seventh aunt "mother"?
So the little guy obediently knelt down and called out in a clear voice, "Seventh Sister!"
"..."
Bai Qingrou was a little embarrassed and said reproachfully, "I told you to call her 'Mother,' why did you call her 'Seventh Sister'?"
The little guy held up two fingers: "Two mothers?"
Looking at the child's dazed and innocent appearance, Su Yujiao felt a pang of sadness and guilt. She didn't want to involve the child in her schemes.
Although she would not harm the child, she would even treat him with all her heart.
But for such a tiny child to be separated from their parents at such a young age is also a kind of harm to the child.
Alas, she is no longer the innocent and harmless naive girl she used to be.
Adoption is a big deal, and many people in the clan came to ask why.
"Since the child in Su's womb is fine, why is it being adopted?"
Zhou explained, "The Emperor is sending Ziqian out to fight a war, and we don't know whether the baby in Jiaojiao's belly is a boy or a girl."
"The battlefield is dangerous. What if... what if something bad happens? Then the seventh son will be childless."
"So, after discussing it, we decided to adopt one of them first. Anyway, Zhou-ge is my own grandson, so it doesn't matter whose name he's under."
The clan chief nodded, agreeing with what Zhou had said.
"Since we've already made the decision, let's get the adoption done before Ziqian leaves."
...
"Miss, I really don't understand you."
"When you asked Physician Zhou for help, I thought you wanted to use Physician Zhou to spread the news that you had miscarried, so that Chen Yunniang and the second wife would stop harming you."
"But why did you tell everyone that your child survived?"
"If you do this, won't you just let those people continue to harm you?"
"Moreover, with all this trouble, the healthy eldest son in your belly will become the second son, and he'll be adopted. Wouldn't that be unfair to the young master or young lady?"
"I've been thinking about it for days, and I just can't hold it in any longer."
Su Yujiao chuckled as she watched Xiao Tao rack her brains.
"Silly Xiaotao, when will you ever be smarter?"
"The General's mansion is full of spies from the second wife and Chen Yunniang, so what happened that night couldn't be kept secret at all."
"Whether I actually miscarried or not, they know perfectly well."
"Since they've already decided I've miscarried, and this belly is fake, why would they continue to harm me?"
"It was also my intention to turn the eldest son into the second son."
"According to the laws of the Great Ming Kingdom, whether I am divorced or have a marriage of convenience, I cannot take my husband's children with me."
"Even if the law allows it, the Lu family will not agree."
“But if this child is adopted by me and has no blood relation to the Lu family, they naturally won’t stop me.”
"Once I leave the general's mansion with my child, I can establish a household in the child's name and start a new life."
"If I give birth to a daughter, then I will really bring a baby boy from outside, and I will take both the son and the daughter with me."
Xiao Tao stared wide-eyed in shock upon hearing Su Yujiao's plan, covering her mouth in disbelief.
"Miss...you...you still want to leave?"
"Well, if Lu Ziqian dies on the battlefield, I might consider not leaving."
“If he comes back alive, I can also find a way to divorce him, but not now.”
Xiao Tao asked in a panic, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
"Isn't life good enough now? Why do you have to leave?"
"A married woman has no way to survive if she leaves her husband."
"It's not that I'm afraid of hardship; no matter how bitter or difficult it is, I'm not afraid. What I'm afraid of is that you won't have a way to survive."
Seeing Xiao Tao cry, Su Yujiao reached out and touched her face: "Don't worry, Miss will not live a hard life, nor will she let you live a hard life."
"You'll see later how wonderful it is to be independent and in charge of your own life."
"Believe me."
Xiao Tao nodded: "Since this is Miss's decision, Xiao Tao will protect Miss even if it costs her life."
Su Yujiao wiped away Xiaotao's tears and handed her a letter: "Please deliver another letter to Physician Zhou for me."
"Since Chen Yunniang is pretending to be dead and refusing to wake up, I will naturally go and wake her up."
Looking at the ruthlessness in Su Yujiao's eyes, Xiao Tao actually felt a sense of satisfaction.
Finally, we can teach that vixen Chen Yunniang a lesson.
Ever since the young lady fell out of love with the general, she no longer wanted to put up with Chen Yunniang's humiliation.
Although she felt that it was unwise for her young lady to leave the general's mansion, she was pleased that her young lady had learned to take the initiative to fight back.
Not long after Xiao Tao left, Lu Ziqian pushed open the door and came in.
Su Yujiao asked immediately, "Chen Yunniang hasn't woken up yet?"
"Can she keep pretending to be dead so she can keep escaping?"
"Are you really going to let the murderer who killed my child go?"
The man looked into her cold eyes and knew she harbored resentment, but he still explained on Chen Yunniang's behalf: "Jiaojiao, there is no evidence yet to prove it was her."
"That unfinished character proves nothing; there are so many people in this world with the surname Chen."
"Perhaps it's not the character 'Chen' in the name, or perhaps it's not the surname 'Chen,' but rather the given name contains the character 'Chen.'"
"I will never let the murderer who killed our child get away with it."
"If it's her, I will never let her go."
"But I believe it won't be her!"
In his mind, how could someone who was so passionate, kind-hearted, and free-spirited be so vicious as to poison an unborn fetus?
Her tone was icy: "Do you dare let me treat her myself? I refuse to believe she won't wake up!"
