Chapter 52: The Marquis's Adopted Daughter and the Cold Prince 24
When Shen Chi Su first became pregnant, she wanted to abort the child.
But at that time, Xiao Wen Ge took refuge with a nobleman, returned home with a box of silver, and even moved to a small mansion on the outskirts of the city.
His face was full of ambitious smiles: "Chi Su, we will be able to rise to prominence soon. Don't worry, that nobleman promised to give me a higher position than the Marquis's Mansion. By then, you will be a noble imperial lady!"
Shen Chi Su looked at the long-lost fine clothes, delicious food, luxurious houses and money, and her heart began to waver again.
She confessed to Xiao Wen-ge that she was pregnant.
Sure enough, Xiao Wen Ge treated her better. He bought a servant and stopped her from squatting by the well to wash clothes by hand and cooking around the stove.
Although Madam Xiao still scolded Shen Chi Su, she finally calmed down for the sake of her son and grandson.
Shen Chi Su thought that good days were coming, but when she went out to pick out some jewelry, she came back to find that soldiers had come to her house to search it!
The officer put a seal on the door of the house, looked around at everyone, and said in a stern voice: "The traitor Xiao Wenge, who colluded with King Song to rebel, has been executed. Now we will confiscate all his private property and arrest the women in his family. If anyone can provide information, the government will reward him!"
Shen Chi Su, who was mixed in the crowd, was frightened and shocked.
Xiao Wen-ge's wealth was actually gained through conspiracy!
And now that I have failed, I will implicate her too!
Shen Chi Su took two steps back unsteadily. When Madam Xiao beside her heard that her son was dead, she wanted to scream and question the soldiers: "My son—Ugh!"
Shen Chi Su covered her mouth and warned her harshly: "You are going to die! The government is arresting us now!"
This idiot! I don’t even know how he became the madam of Lanxianglou.
Shen Chi Su struggled, using her last bit of strength to drag Madam Xiao, who was covering her mouth, into a deserted alley.
Madam Xiao cried and grabbed Shen Chi Su, "It's all your fault, you bastard! If you hadn't let him scheme in front of Marquis Jingyuan, he would still be working as a government official safely now. He wouldn't have plotted a rebellion and lost his life. You are such a jinx."
Shen Chi Su sneered: "Xiao Wen Ge is incompetent and has fallen to this point. Can you blame a weak woman like me?"
She ignored the crying Madam Xiao and carefully poked her head out at the alley entrance to check on the soldiers.
With a glance, he saw the plaque of Jingyuan Marquis Mansion that had been repainted with gold.
There is also a signature written by the emperor himself on it.
Common people passing by on the street were all discussing the recent glory of the Marquis' Mansion.
Shen Chi Su clenched her fists and made up her mind immediately.
Xiao Wen Ge is already dead, and her future prospects can only be fought for by herself.
The mansion was sealed off, so Shen Chi Su and Madam Xiao had to flee back to their original shabby house for temporary shelter.
When she came back, Shen Chi Su secretly went into the pharmacy and picked up a dose of medicine.
Madam Xiao looked at her holding the dark medicine and asked suspiciously: "What are you drinking?"
Shen Chi said calmly, "A pregnancy-maintaining medicine."
Mrs. Xiao didn't think too much about it.
As a result, half an hour after Shen Chi Su drank the medicine, her lower body began to bleed, her entire body ached, and she was sweating profusely.
Mrs. Xiao finally reacted and screamed, "Damn it! You drank the abortion pill!"
This bitch is going to kill her grandson!
However, it was too late. Shen Chi Su, with her amazing willpower, managed to force herself to bring out the underdeveloped dead fetus while enduring the pain!
Still two kids!
Madam Xiao couldn't bear the blow and fainted on the spot.
Shen Chi Su's face was pale and her body was covered in blood. She mercilessly threw the child's body into the basin, changed into clean clothes, combed her hair, and forced herself to walk towards the marquis's mansion.
At this time, Ning Changting had just returned from the palace.
He got off the carriage. The colorful embroidered cranes on his crimson court robe and the jade sash with clouds and phoenixes in four colors all showed that his status was even more noble than before.
"Brother Changting." A weak voice came into his ears from the side.
Ning Changting turned around and looked towards the sound, and saw the weak and pitiful Shen Chi Su looking at him eagerly beside the stone lion at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.
Although Shen Chi Su was not considered beautiful in the past, she was at least well-dressed, had a rosy complexion, and looked noble.
Shen Chi Su now wore cheap and rough clothes, her hair was dry and yellow, and she was as thin as a bamboo pole. Her face was haggard and her eyes were cloudy.
It can be seen that life is very unhappy.
Ning Changting's expression did not change at all. He withdrew his gaze and continued to walk forward.
Shen Chi Su rushed over, knelt at his feet, and begged, "Brother Chang Ting, can you return Wen Ge's body to me for burial? I am willing to exchange my fertile body for it!"
She didn't care about Xiao Wen Ge's body at all, but it was too snobbish to say directly that she wanted to return to the Marquis' Mansion.
Ning Changting looked at her coldly.
Shen Chi Su continued to show off her worth: "I know you and Yan Shu are in love. Don't worry, I won't get in your way. The child I gave birth to for you will be treated as her own..."
Shen Chi Su had a very beautiful thought.
Although Ning Changting doesn't like her now, as long as she can give birth to a grandson for the Marquis's mansion, Lady Ning will definitely keep her.
Once there is one, there will be two. She will give birth to more and more children for Ning Changting, and gradually replace Cha Jiu in the Marquis' Mansion and become the new mistress.
Even if she couldn't, after Ning Changting's death, the one who inherited the title of Marquis would be her, Shen Chisu's biological child!
Will her children still be disrespectful to their biological mother?
The greed in Shen Chisu's eyes became more and more intense, and Ning Changting became even more disgusted.
"Shen Chi Su, do you want Xiao Wen Ge's body or the wealth of the Marquis' Mansion?"
Ning Changting was merciless and exposed it directly.
Shen Chi Su's face turned pale, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his eyes: "I..."
"Changting, what's wrong?"
Her witty retort was interrupted by a soft and gentle question.
Cha Jiu heard the servants say that Ning Changting had returned, but he hadn't seen him in Qingfeng Garden for a long time, so he went out to check.
Seeing that the person coming was Shen Chi Su, Cha Jiu showed no contempt or surprise on his face.
She nodded slightly to Shen Chi Su, still observing etiquette.
Ning Changting touched Cha Jiu's cloak and asked concernedly, "Why are you out in such a cold weather?"
"I haven't seen you for a long time. I came to see you."
"Today I was discussing with His Majesty about conferring an imperial decree on you, so I'm quite late."
Imperial edict
Cha Jiu is about to receive an imperial decree
Shen Chi Su clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and her jealous gaze moved from Cha Jiu's delicate and beautiful face, her luxurious headdress, gradually down, and finally landed on her round belly.
She couldn't believe it and finally couldn't help but screaming: "How is it possible that you are pregnant?"
Clearly, that fortune teller said that only she, Shen Chi Su, was destined to be fertile easily!
Seeing Shen Chi Su's expression becoming increasingly crazy, Ning Changting calmly placed Cha Jiu behind him to prevent him from doing anything crazy or hurtful.
Shen Chi Su still refused to accept this fact. She pointed at Cha Jiu's belly, her eyes full of malice: "Ning Chang Ting, the baby in Shen Yan Shu's belly is definitely not yours! Go check, she must have an adulterer!"
"Besides me, there is no other woman in this world who can save you from being childless!"
Ning Changting's eyes were filled with indifference: "Shen Chisu, you are crazy."
Yes, Shen Chi Su has gone crazy.
Even though she was driven away before, she still kept her last trump card, her last glimmer of hope.
That is, if she is willing to give birth to a child for Ning Changting, the Marquis's Mansion will definitely take her back in a sedan chair.
But now she didn't expect that her only value to the Marquis's Mansion, her capital to turn things around, was completely gone!
She can never go back to the Marquis's Mansion again!
Shen Chi Su cried and laughed, and fell into complete despair. The bottom of her skirt was gradually stained red by the dirty blood.
Ning Changting frowned, put his hands in front of Cha Jiu's eyes, and said softly, "Go back to Qingfeng Garden and wait for me, okay?"
He didn't want his beloved wife and children to see such a dirty thing.
