You betrayed someone who truly loved you; heaven will now bestow upon you a complete and utter slut.
"ah!"
A woman screamed in surprise from in front of the carriage.
"Whoa!" Pumpkin pulled on the reins and brought the carriage to an abrupt stop.
"What's going on?" Ye Qingzhou asked, pulling back the curtain in front of the carriage.
"That woman suddenly rushed up, it was really scary." Pumpkin wiped non-existent sweat from his head and quickly smoothed out his new clothes, which his employer had just bought for him.
The woman had her head wrapped in a cloth, leaving only her eyes and nose exposed. As soon as she saw Ye Qingzhou's face, she suddenly ran forward, put down the swaddled baby in her arms, and ran away.
"Hey! Don't you want your child?" The woman shouted as he jumped off the carriage, his head adorned with new gold and silver ornaments.
"Yu Yue," Ye Qingzhou murmured, watching her retreating figure.
Chonghua was stunned, pointing in the direction the woman had disappeared: "It's her? Then this child, is it Yu...? She's crazy, why would she abandon us?"
Pumpkin lifted a corner of the blanket and frowned: "Master, why is this child's face so red?"
"Does she have a fever?" Ye Qingzhou looked at her and reached out to touch her.
Chonghua gently pushed her hand away: "Young lady, you're still pregnant. Don't move around too much, or you'll catch a chill."
"Okay." Ye Qingzhou withdrew his hand.
“That’s right, let’s just throw it away. Liu Yan’er’s carelessness will ruin our future.” Pumpkin tucked the blanket in again.
"Anyway, no one saw it." Chonghua also got into the carriage.
The carriage clattered along as it arrived at Doctor Wang's clinic.
"Dr. Wang, this is a small token of my appreciation." Ye Qingzhou took out two boxes.
"For me? Thank you, Madam Ye." Doctor Wang accepted it, and with a smile, he took her pulse: "What have you all been doing? I'll go too in a few days."
Ye Qingzhou talked about rafting, mountain climbing, and other things.
Doctor Wang smiled and asked her to switch hands to take her pulse.
After taking the pulse, Ye Qingzhou hesitated for a moment: "Dr. Wang, please take another look at me."
Dr. Wang was writing a prescription and nodded.
Ye Qingzhou winked at Zhong Hua.
"What a nuisance!" Chonghua grumbled as he left the house, bringing back a baby.
Dr. Wang continued to see patients and prescribe medicine as usual.
Once outside, Chonghua looked at the child and began to speak veiledly: "You heartless wretch, just like your old man, all you do is spend our girl's money. All you do is eat and sleep."
Pumpkin, with two medicine packets in her left hand and three in her right, helped Chonghua onto the carriage.
The carriage clattered along, taking Ye Qingzhou to several familiar places.
After lunch, Ye Qingzhou, who was becoming increasingly sleepy, took a short nap.
Before I could wake from my dream, a guest arrived. A message came from the government office.
Not long after, in the courtroom.
"Tell me! Where did you put my child? You heartless woman, how could you harm such a young child?" Liu Yan'er cried and pointed at Ye Qingzhou, cursing.
Li, the constable, stopped her and told her to calm down.
"Calm down? How can I calm down? That's the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to." Liu Yan'er sat on the ground crying, "You surnamed Ye, no matter how much money you pay me, I will never forgive you. Waaaaah..."
"The doctor said that Madam Ye is a heartless person for treating children. Let's talk this out calmly," Li, the constable, gently persuaded Liu Yan'er.
"It's all her fault." Liu Yan'er continued to make a scene: "Ye Qingzhou, give me the money. Otherwise, I'll sue you again and make you pay until you're bankrupt."
"Hmph!" Ye Qingzhou ignored her.
“Qingzhou, you have disappointed me greatly. That is my child. You are the mistress of the house. Shouldn’t you be raising him? How could you abandon him?” Yu Xi rebuked him righteously.
"We've already divorced. That's your child, why should I raise it?" Ye Qingzhou grew angrier the more she thought about it. She stopped looking at him.
Yu Xi leaned closer and said shamelessly, "Qingzhou, you're wrong! You're so wrong! Who else would want you besides me? I know you're soft-hearted and won't abandon the child. If you admit your mistake and raise this child well, I will naturally marry you."
"Get away from me." Ye Qingzhou really didn't want to see his face, so she pushed him away.
Yu Xi didn't leave, so Yu Yue came over and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll ask my brother for you. Can you give me the gold hairpin from your hair?"
"You!..." Ye Qingzhou was so angry at these words that her stomach started to hurt.
"Sister-in-law." Yu Xiaohong appeared with a warm and cheerful expression, accompanied by her father. Her father was also holding a child.
Liu Yan'er and Yu Yue both saw the child, but neither of them went forward to take him.
When Yu Xi saw her fourth uncle, the embarrassment on her face quickly disappeared. She walked over, took the child, and thanked her fourth uncle.
The child was found, and the yamen runners invited the clerk to leave a written document as usual, preparing to close the case.
"Madam Liu, your child has had a high fever for two days. Why is that? You said you were resting at the time, so who took him away?" the clerk asked.
Yu Yue shrank behind her brother, not daring to respond.
"Replying to your question, sir, it is usually my younger sister who takes care of me," Yu Xi said.
"You little brat, how did you take care of her?" Liu Yan'er rushed over and pointed at Yu Yue's head.
"Why are you scolding me? I'm not in good health either. I lost my child a few days ago. I'm heartbroken, but I still have to take care of you and your child. And you? You lie in bed all day, and when you wake up, you get dressed and go out to play. Every day, I do the laundry and cooking. I'm exhausted and my whole body aches. And what about you?"
Liu Yan'er looked at Yu Xi in a panic. This was not what she said to Yu Xi every day: "The child has a high fever, why don't you take him to see a doctor?"
“The money is all with you.” Yu Yue became increasingly dissatisfied and started arguing with Liu Yan’er about everything.
The baby was woken up and was crying loudly. Yu Xi felt a headache coming on. He remembered his and Ye Qingzhou's first child, which Ye Qingzhou had taken care of. Ye Qingzhou had cared for the child and made him very comfortable.
He had been drinking with friends and came home very late. It was a cold day, so Ye Qingzhou left the light on for him, brought him tea and water, and wiped his face with warm water. He said he was hungry, so Ye Qingzhou cooked for him herself. But when Ye Qingzhou finished cooking and brought the food over, he had fallen asleep.
Those days were so wonderful. Why did he want a divorce?
"Brother." Yu Yue's voice interrupted Yu Xi's memories.
After leaving the government office, they each went home and found their own mothers.
After dinner, Ye Qingzhou saw Yu Xiaohong and her fourth uncle off, escorting them all the way to the front gate.
"Sister-in-law, Yu Yue is wicked, be careful." Yu Xiaohong held her hand.
"Everyone calls me sister-in-law. A sister like you is so much better than Yu Yue," Ye Qingzhou said with a smile, handing her two packets of food.
A person rushed out from the shadows by the door. The person snatched the food and slapped Yu Xiaohong: "Don't you dare yell. You're talking bad about me."
As soon as Pumpkin saw Yu Yue, that crazy woman, he immediately pulled his boss back to hide.
Uncle Yu also slapped Yu Yue to protect his daughter: "Yu Yue, what did you say when you begged me to go to jail for you? Is this how you treat Xiao Hong?"
Yu Yue covered her face and burst into tears: "Sister-in-law, they bullied me. Nobody cares about me."
Ye Qingzhou rubbed Yu Xiaohong's face and said to Yu Yue, "Last year, you went to Huazhi Lane. The things I gave you, you turned around and gave to Liu Yan'er. In your heart, your sister-in-law is not me, but Liu Yan'er."
“Xiao Hong is just benefiting from me. Without me and my brother, what is she? I am your sister.” Yu Yue squeezed forward: “Liu Yan’er, she is just a concubine, how can she surpass you, sister-in-law?”
Ye Qingzhou pushed her away and took Yu Xiaohong's hand: "Xiaohong, it's all thanks to you. You said Liu Yan'er is a concubine, so Xiaohong is a concubine. Xiaohong is the kind of sister I like who can distinguish right from wrong and knows how to repay kindness."
“She’s not. Sister-in-law, look at me.” Yu Yue pushed Yu Xiaohong away forcefully.
Yu Xiaohong didn't back down at all, snatching the food from Yu Yue's hand with lightning speed: "You've let down someone who truly loves you. Next, God will bestow upon you a complete slut. How will you know what's good and what's bad if I don't torment you like this?"
