The maid was severely disabled.
She had to be brave, decisive, and ruthless in abandoning what needed to be abandoned.
Once this child is born, she and the Marquis of Pingyang will be inextricably linked. This child will be her Achilles' heel, and the Marquis of Pingyang will exploit this weakness to bleed her and the Zhou family dry.
Zhou Shiying could vaguely sense that the Marquis of Pingyang had been urging her to return to the Zhou family and reconcile with Zhou Cheng for the past two years in order to gain some benefits from her father, who held military power.
She refused every time.
Now that you can't get any benefits from the Zhou family, you think you can control me? Don't even think about it!
"Don't blame me. Now that I've seen what kind of beast your father is, I can't tolerate you."
"Your existence will make it impossible for me to sever my ties with him for the rest of my life. If the Zhou family is safe and sound in the future, you will be the blood-sucking link. I will never allow him to suck the blood of the Zhou family."
"That's fine then..."
A tear welled up in Zhou Shiying's eyes, and she pursed her lips, her voice trembling.
I had long heard of a terrifying force in the Yan Kingdom called Cheng Gui Pavilion, which accepts any task from its employers. As long as the reward is sufficient, they can accomplish things that ordinary people cannot.
Her pockets were stuffed with all the banknotes she had for the trip...
Since the Marquis of Pingyang betrayed her and refused to save Cheng'er, she, as the eldest sister, would do everything in her power to find Chenggui Pavilion and rescue Cheng'er from the capital, even at the cost of her own life!
Cheng'er,
Don't be afraid.
My elder sister will escape now to rescue you from the capital.
"Bang--"
Zhou Shiying clenched her fists.
He gathered his strength in his palm and slapped it onto the abdomen.
In an instant.
An excruciating pain swept over my entire body.
Blood slowly trickled from between her legs. Zhou Shiying was drenched in cold sweat from the pain, but she didn't even flinch. She weakly called out to the outside, "Help! Help! Someone come quick!"
"Bang."
"lady!!"
"Madam, you...you...quickly go and call the Marquis, quickly call the Marquis over, Madam has gone into labor."
Zhou Shiying burst into tears and shouted in panic to the soldiers, "Quickly prepare a sedan chair! It's so far from the city. It will take half a day to get a doctor from here. Prepare a sedan chair to take me to see a doctor."
The soldiers hurriedly ran outside: "Quickly prepare a sedan chair and take the lady to see a doctor in the city."
When Marquis Pingyang learned of this news, he was shocked.
He couldn't believe it was such a coincidence!
But he also knew how much Zhou Shiying valued the child in her womb. That tigress wouldn't joke about something like this; she was probably really so angry that she miscarried...
"Quickly prepare a sedan chair; I will personally accompany her. This matter cannot be delayed; if we are not in time, someone may die."
If Zhou Shiying dies, all his wealth and glory will be gone!
besides,
And there are children.
The baby in her womb must also be saved.
This is also a bargaining chip, just in case.
Now that Zhou Cheng has a weapon in his hands, although Marquis Pingyang is certain that the Zhou family will be defeated, he must always have a backup plan. With the child as a link, he can control Zhou Shiying.
If Zhou Shiying is under control, the Zhou family will be much more lenient towards him.
In short!
He wants both.
