Chapter 119 Yun Wansheng's Pregnancy
"How are the lamps selling these past two days?" Yun Wansheng asked casually.
"It's okay. We sold about a hundred lamps today. You can draw a few more patterns next time and it's time to release new products." Lu Ke said in a natural tone.
"I'll draw it when I get back and think it over."
"Well! Do you feel better after going to Bodhisattva Temple?" Lu Ke asked with concern.
"Uh... much better. I don't have nightmares at night anymore." Yun Wansheng's eyes flickered with fear.
"It seems the rumors are true. I'll take my mother there to beg for mercy someday. She's been feeling very uneasy lately."
"Okay! There's no harm in praying to the Buddha more often. Lu Ke, I have something to do, so I'll go back first." Yun Wansheng said with some embarrassment, and left the shop.
Lu Ke watched her walk out of the room with sinister eyes: "Yun Wansheng! You were the one who wronged me first. If you want to rekindle your relationship with Mu Xinghan, it depends on my consent."
Lu Xi, who was waiting on the side, was a little puzzled and asked: "Master, since you like Madam Yun, why did you deliberately change her medicine to make her pregnant? Aren't you helping them?"
"What do you know? Mu Xinghan's house is a marquis's house. Before she got married, the family refused to let this woman in. Now that she's a widow, it's even more impossible for her to marry the second son of the family.
They both naturally knew this, so when they were together, they would never dare to get pregnant.
If they disregarded worldly ethics and got pregnant, the Hou family would not recognize the child, and she, a widow, would be cursed by the neighbors for giving birth.
What I have to do now is what they don't want to do. By then, Mu Xinghan will definitely not want this child and will force the woman to have an abortion.
By then, even if they have pledged their love to each other, their relationship will break down.
In order to make them completely turn against each other, we will spread the news of the widow having an affair with the general in the Hou Mansion throughout the city. As long as their reputation is ruined, there will be no possibility of them reconciling.
I have seen many cases of adulterers blaming each other when they are in trouble, and they will be no exception.
Then I will come forward to protect that woman, and then she will see my good side, and without me saying anything, she will abort the bastard in her belly and choose to follow me." Lu Ke smiled sinisterly.
"My Lord, with your status, you can marry any woman you want. Why do you have to marry a widow who has been having affairs with other men? I really don't understand."
"Who said I was going to marry her? Before that, I could have given her the title of legal wife because of her commercial value.
But now? I am lucky enough to be able to take her as a concubine, because her own value is beneficial to our Lu family. Otherwise, why would I go to such great lengths to plot against that woman? "
Lu Ke made no secret of his ambition, which showed how much trust he had in his subordinate.
That night, Mu Xingci arrived later, and Yun Wansheng let him in through the main door.
"Sorry to bother you!" Mu Xingci walked into the room insincerely.
"I know I'm disturbing you, but I still come so late." Yun Wansheng rolled her eyes at him and then went back to bed.
Mu Xingci casually took off his clothes and said, "I was busy with military affairs today, so it was already very late when I returned to the Governor's Mansion."
"My Lord, you don't have to come here every day. You'll be very tired."
Mu Xingci just raised the corner of his lips, blew out the candle, and then got on the bed. After hugging her, he said in a low voice: "Wansheng, there is news from the East Qiang Kingdom. Our army has completely occupied the East Qiang Kingdom. From now on, it will belong to our Shun Shang Kingdom.
If they win over there, there will be a war here soon. After the supplies and troops from Dongqiang are transferred here, our army will declare war on Dazhao.
Once this war breaks out, it will definitely be much more difficult than the one against the Eastern Qiang Kingdom. It will be impossible to win in a short period of time. It may take three to five years, or even longer.
I don't know when I will be back, so before I leave, I want to spend some time with you. Even if it is late, I will come and hold you to sleep.
I know that once I separate from you this time, it may be the beginning of our separation, but I still hope that one day in the future, you and I can meet again.
But I am afraid that by the time we meet again, you will have married someone else, and that is something I don’t want to see.”
Yun Wansheng listened to the man's affectionate words and blinked a few times: "My Lord, people should learn to cherish the present. No one can control the future. People who are not destined to be together will never come together."
"You are more open-minded about feelings than I am. I can't control you who is so clear-headed. I just don't want to be separated from you like this." Mu Xingci turned over and pressed the woman under him, his tone hinting at pain.
"My Lord Marquis is just unable to get over it for the moment. When you get over it one day, no woman will be important in your eyes." Yun Wansheng stroked the man's eyebrows with her fingers and smiled faintly.
Mu Xingci stared at the woman in the dim eyes: "I hope it's as you said." After he finished speaking, he leaned over and kissed her.
Before leaving, he just wanted to have her well, preferably to the point where he would be annoyed with her and tired of her, so that he would not think of her again after he left.
The man left before dawn. This time he didn't let the woman wake him up. When he left, the woman was still sleeping soundly.
For several days in a row, Mu Xingci came late and left early. The two got along well and never had a quarrel. They looked like a couple.
More than a month has passed, the weather is getting warmer, and spring branches have sprouted.
That day, Yun Wansheng felt dizzy when she got up, so she dozed off for a while. But when she got up, she felt weak all over, as if she was sick.
"Qingling, go ask Uncle Liu to prepare the car. I feel a little unwell." Yun Wansheng felt that her illness was not serious, so she thought about going to the clinic to see a doctor.
"Boss, you don't look well, are you sick?"
“It seems so.”
"Please wait, I'll go find Uncle Liu right away." Qingling said and trotted out.
Soon, they were in a carriage heading to the clinic, completely unaware that two strong men were following them.
Because they left early, when they arrived at the clinic, there was only one patient inside. This clinic was also where she bought her birth control pills.
As soon as the patient left, Yun Wansheng sat over.
"Are you feeling unwell, young lady?" the old doctor asked in a friendly manner.
"When I woke up this morning, I felt a little dizzy and weak all over. Could you please give me a look, doctor?"
"Please place your hands on the medical bag, young lady."
Yun Wansheng raised her arm as she was told and placed her wrist on the somewhat old cloth bag.
The old doctor then took her pulse and listened carefully. After listening for a moment, his brows relaxed slightly, and a smile appeared in his eyes: "Congratulations, young lady. After careful diagnosis by this old doctor, you have a pregnancy pulse."
"Pregnant pulse? What does that mean?" Yun Wansheng didn't react for a moment.
"My dear, a happy pulse means you are pregnant. Your pulse is quite stable. I will not misdiagnose you."
Yun Wansheng was stunned when she heard this. The only thing she could think of was, "I'm pregnant? How is that possible?"
Thinking about it, I tried to stay calm: "Doctor, did you hear me wrong? I have been taking the birth control pills you gave me. How could I be pregnant?"
