[Should they be sent away immediately or drowned?]
[You old fool, I've been too kind to you, and you dare to mess with me.]
"Go ahead and try to touch me if you dare. Let's see if my curse is faster than your hand."
Old Madam Shi: A curse?
Sure enough, this little thing wasn't very clean.
She said, how could He Qiuniang, who used to be so submissive, suddenly change her personality?
So it turns out they were bewitched by this little thing.
In that case, this little thing is even more unacceptable to keep.
Madam Shi's shrewd eyes were even more sinister and malicious.
"If you don't choose, don't blame me for making the choice for you."
He Qiuniang held her youngest daughter tightly in her arms, while her four children stood guard on either side of her.
Her eyes were firm, and her answer was affirmative to the old lady.
"I will not give my child away, much less drown him."
"As long as I am here, no one will be able to hurt them."
Setting fire last night wasn't enough; today they're going to brazenly take her daughter!
How come He Qiuniang never noticed before how disgusting the Shi family mother and son were?
"This is not harm, it's protection," Old Madam Shi argued domineeringly.
"Sending her away will ensure our family's safety and prosperity."
“I think it’s to ensure the safety and prosperity of your Shi family,” He Qiuniang retorted coldly.
"Qiu Niang, how dare you speak to your mother like that? Apologize!" Shi Mianzhi shouted angrily.
This trick always worked for him before.
However, He Qiuniang today is not the same He Qiuniang as before.
"Don't even think about me apologizing." For the sake of her child, He Qiuniang had hardened her resolve.
“Shi Mianzhi, if only you could remember even a little bit of the kindness that my He family showed you back then.”
“They wouldn’t treat us, mother and son, like that today.”
“My poor Yuyu, she’s only a month old and you’re treating her like this.”
"Do you even have a heart?!"
[They're heartless and cruel, Mother. Don't stoop to their level.]
[Mommy, don't be angry, don't be angry. Yuyu will protect you.]
They won't even dare to lay a finger on my mother.
Madam Shi: What a boastful tone.
"Mianzhi, why are you still being so polite with them?"
"Taking the child away is for her own good."
"Madam, aren't you afraid I'll expose your affair?"
Just as Shi Mianzhi was about to lift his foot, He Qiuniang suddenly shouted.
Wow~ Sweeping up fallen leaves in autumn and winter~
The entire courtyard suddenly fell silent.
"I actually had an affair? Second Madam, you really dare to say anything."
"The old lady has been living alone for decades, so it's not impossible."
"I heard that a while ago, the old lady called Old Man Sun, who was in charge of emptying the manure, to her place, and then Old Man Sun disappeared without a trace."
"No way, Old Man Sun who empties the manure, the old lady has such unique tastes..."
...
Whispers broke out.
Madam Shi's face, which had been pale for decades, turned as red as a pair of hot tongs being heated.
Madam Shi, "I didn't commit adultery!"
He Qiuniang, "Then what did you steal?"
Madam Shi said, "I stole his clothes."
Oh~
If the clothes are stolen, how can they possibly be clean?
The servants in the courtyard gave each other rather subtle looks.
So the old lady had that kind of taste.
I've really seen a lot in my life.
"Mother, you actually want to find me a stepfather?" Shi Mianzhi, who was unaware of the situation, frowned in surprise, even showing disgust.
"Mother." He clenched his fist and slapped it against his palm in exasperation.
"If you want to find someone, find someone powerful, influential, and respectable."
"You've found a manure collector; you've completely disgraced the Shi family."
Madam Shi hurriedly explained, "I didn't, son, please let me explain."
"I have suffered from insomnia for many years, and I can only fall asleep when I smell that strange, stinky sweat."
"You must believe your mother, your mother is innocent."
"Your daughter-in-law knows too much; it's not good," Old Madam Shi subtly warned, trying to change the subject.
Just then, another servant rushed in to report.
"Master, Madam, something terrible has happened!"
"Suddenly, a pregnant woman appeared at the gate, saying she had come to our Shi residence to find the father of her child."
"Find the child's father?" Shi Mianzhi frowned.
What about the child's father?
Could it be that his secret has been discovered?
Shi Mianzhi's expression changed slightly.
"What kind of place was our government office when anyone could come and go as they pleased?"
"Get them out of here, get them out of here."
"Can't you see the chaos in the mansion?" Shi Mianzhi waved his hand impatiently.
How come everything is happening all at once?
"Master, but that girl said that the child in her belly belongs to the master of the Shi family."
“If we don’t let her in, she’ll take this to the authorities and accuse our Shi family of starting something and then abandoning it.”
"What's going on every day? Let's go take a look."
Shi Mianzhi irritably flicked his sleeves.
Shi Yu, nestled in He Qiu Niang's arms, was delighted.
[Mother, Mother, keep up!]
This is going to be interesting.
He Qiuniang was an obedient mother. Without saying a word or hesitating at all, she picked up Shi Yu and followed.
Shi Chengxi's lips curved slightly up, and he followed.
In front of the Shi family's gate
Fortunately, yesterday's fire didn't spread over here.
Otherwise, the house would probably not have a front door at this time.
In front of the Shi family's gate, a heavily pregnant girl was clinging to the door, unwilling to leave.
