Zhao Manxiang secretly clenched her fists, staring at Wen Zhu's figure with sharp eyes, and a strong feeling of dissatisfaction and jealousy rose in her heart.
Wen Zhu’s pregnancy is really stable!
Zhao Manxiang couldn't help but sigh in her heart, as if she saw the shadow of a new life that Wen Zhu was about to welcome.
Is the stuff in that gold bracelet not powerful enough?
She frowned, wondering if there was something wrong with her approach.
Or is it because she has been a maid for so long that her foundation is too good?
Regardless, she decided to try one more trick.
This time it must be done more subtly so that she won't notice and will eventually lose the child.
"Mother, although Wen Zhu is five or six months pregnant, she is busy dealing with her family's affairs and probably has no time to take care of the prince. Why don't you choose someone who is considerate to give to the prince?"
Zhao Manxiang suggested with a smile.
She had a sweet smile on her face and her tone seemed extremely sincere, but in fact her heart was full of calculations.
The Duke's wife glanced at Zhao Manxiang.
In fact, when Wen Zhu first found out she was pregnant, she wanted to have another child for Fu Yu.
She still remembered the desire and expectation in Wen Zhu's eyes at that time.
However, Fu Yu refused.
At that time, he shook his head coldly without saying another word, and his attitude was surprisingly firm.
She thought that after a while, Fu Yu might not be so resistant.
Perhaps time can change everything. After all, things between husband and wife always require time and patience to slowly reconcile.
Unexpectedly, something happened in Wen Zhu's family at this time.
The sudden change plunged Wen Zhu into grief, and also made the Duke's wife feel a little heartbroken.
She could see clearly that her son was very concerned about the baby in Wen Zhu's belly.
During this period, she saw Fu Yu's concerned eyes on Wen Zhu many times, and his deep affection and love were beyond words.
If I bring this up again now, I'm afraid Fu Yu will get angry.
After careful consideration, she realized that bringing up the matter at this time would only add fuel to the fire and make things more difficult.
When Zhao Manxiang mentioned this, she felt even more that it was inappropriate to do so.
She shook her head slightly, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, and she decided to ignore Zhao Manxiang's proposal.
Wen Zhu is in a bad mood now. What if she becomes depressed because of this and affects the baby in her belly?
She was already in a bad enough mood, she couldn't let it get any worse.
It’s better to take care of the child at hand first. After all, the baby’s health is the most important thing.
"Huai Jin knows his limits. He eats when he's hungry and drinks when he's thirsty. If he wants to add more people, he'll do it. If he doesn't have that intention, why should we make him unhappy? Just go along with him."
The Duke's wife spoke gently to Zhao Manxiang.
There was a hint of urgency in her tone, as if reminding Zhao Manxiang to seize the opportunity and not act rashly.
Zhao Manxiang felt very uncomfortable and even a little angry after hearing this.
Her mother-in-law treated Wen Zhu so well that she felt her position was precarious, as if no matter what she did, she would not get the same attention and love.
"Manxiang, after the child is born, as long as you treat the child sincerely, Huaijin will definitely feel your kindness. If you continue like this, your relationship will gradually improve."
The Duke's wife said this with a smile, as if trying to comfort her.
"Everything is up to you."
Zhao Manxiang lowered her head. Although she agreed verbally, her heart was filled with mixed emotions, helplessness and unwillingness.
Seeing that Zhao Manxiang agreed, the Duke's wife finally breathed a sigh of relief and a satisfied expression appeared on her face.
Zhao Manxiang secretly decided that she had to find an opportunity to quietly get rid of the baby in Wen Zhu's belly, so as to ensure that her position in the family would remain stable.
In addition to taking care of his mother's case and managing the garden, Wen Zhu spends the rest of his time taking good care of his health.
In the past few days, apart from necessary matters, she spent most of her time sitting quietly in the house to rest, trying her best to keep calm.
After a few days, she found that Taoyao began to become restless.
This usually gentle little maid now seems unusually active. She always dresses up carefully and runs around in the yard when Fu Yu is about to come home.
Su Yue came to ask Wen Zhu how to deal with this matter. Wen Zhu just smiled faintly and did not blame her too much.
In fact, she already knew in her heart that Fu Yu would not accept newcomers at this time, and would not like someone like Tao Yao who had no vision.
Then let Taoyao suffer a little loss herself.
Since Tao Yao is only thinking about pleasing the young master, let her know that this is not the right way to go, so as to avoid more trouble in the future.
One day, Fu Yu returned to Chunhua Courtyard after finishing his shift. As soon as he entered the yard, he was unexpectedly drenched in water.
This sudden situation made him stand there in a daze, completely confused about what was going on.
"Young Master, I'm sorry, I didn't see you come in. I'll wipe it for you right away..." Tao Yao quickly took out a handkerchief and walked forward quickly, wanting to wipe the water stains off Fu Yu's clothes.
Fu Yu frowned and took a step back, his face showing obvious dissatisfaction: "Why did you make the yard so wet? What a mess!"
Tao Yao was stunned, a little at a loss: "My Lord, I was worried that there was too much dust in the yard, so I sprinkled some water to clean it up."
"The ground is so slippery, what if your master accidentally falls?"
Fu Yu's face darkened slightly, his eyes filled with blame and anger, "You are too careless."
"this……"
Taoyao's eyes darted around, as if searching for a reasonable explanation. "I will never spill water again. Please let me wipe the water off your clothes first."
"Need not!"
Fu Yu took a step forward. Tao Yao reached out her hand to wipe his clothes but missed. "Next time, come and clean up while your master is taking a nap! Don't make a mess now!"
In this way, when Wen Zhu woke up, the water on the ground had already dried up.
Tao Yao looked at Fu Yu's angry expression and didn't dare to say anything more. She could only say "yes" awkwardly.
"Also, you don't know the importance of things," Fu Yu glared at Tao Yao, "Your master is grieving over the loss of her mother, and you're still wearing fancy clothes! Hurry and change into something more plain!"
After saying that, he strode into the hall, leaving Tao Yao standing there at a loss.
After a while, Fu Yu finished his shower and changed his clothes. Still a little angry, he walked up to Wen Zhu and said, "Wen Zhu, that Tao Yao in your yard is really too much. Not only does she dress so seductively, but she also can't do anything. Just get rid of her."
Wen Zhu stepped forward, took the towel, and gently wiped Fu Yu's hair, saying softly, "She's just a maidservant. It's the master's kindness that she has a maid to serve her. Tao Yao was given to me by the young lady, and she hasn't done anything wrong. If I really drive her away, it will seem that I'm ungrateful, willful, and arrogant."
