After all, Xia Qingran is Xia Meng's biological daughter. No matter how angry Lieutenant General Xia is, he cannot kill his daughter. Besides, his daughter has something against him, so he finally chooses to compromise.
But now his daughter is pregnant with an illegitimate child. He will raise his daughter but not the illegitimate child. And Xia Qingran is not a soft-hearted person. She hates Song Shanshi to death, so how could she keep the child in her belly to continue the bloodline of the person who harmed her?
"Father, don't worry! I hate that villain so much. How could I give birth to a child for her? I will abort the child. You just need to give me a new identity and find me a wealthy family to marry. I will never appear in front of you again."
Xia Qingran knew that when she had switched the mother's property, there wasn't much father-daughter affection left between them, so she wouldn't make any excessive demands this time.
"Well, remember what you said."
Xia Meng asked his confidant to take Xia Qingran to have an abortion first, then he found someone to spend money to get Xia Qingran a new household registration, and then he found a matchmaker and began looking for a suitable family for Xia Qingran to marry into.
Of course, he did not hide these things from his wife. When Madam Xia learned about this, she was so angry that her face turned pale and she gritted her teeth and said:
"My husband, I'm not blaming you. I've long said that Lang Huan is not a woman who would settle down, but you didn't listen and insisted on taking her as a concubine. What's the result now? Like mother, like daughter. Now the daughter is threatening her father. How can a daughter behave like this?
Apart from anything else, she has killed two people and has such a cruel temper, who knows what she will do in the future! Now that you have compromised, what if she continues to push her limits in the future? "
Xia Meng frowned tightly when he heard this. He hadn't had time to think about it carefully. He just wanted to comfort his daughter first. Now after hearing what his wife said, he felt that the follow-up matters would be a bit troublesome. He could only sigh and ask:
"Ma'am, what should we do now?"
Madam Xia saw that her father also had regrets, so she could only calm down and said calmly:
"My husband, we need to think about this matter carefully. You are right to keep her calm now. She just had an accident, so she is still in shock. We must prevent her from doing something irreparable. We will meet all the conditions she proposed. After a year or so, when she feels that the incident has passed and we are sure that there are no informers around her, we will take action."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, ma'am."
Deputy General Xia waved his hand.
"Where is that evil girl now?"
"I'll have someone take her to kill the evil creature in her belly."
"I understand. I'll ask Mammy to go over and give her some instructions."
Mrs. Xia's eyes turned and she immediately had an idea. She took the initiative to take over the rest of the matters and comforted Xia Meng a few words. Then she found her personal nanny and took the silver bills to the home of a black midwife who was having an abortion at Xia Qingran's place.
The nanny called the black midwife who looked like dry tree bark out alone and whispered in her ear:
"This girl climbed into the master's bed and got pregnant without telling the lady. The lady was very unhappy, so she ordered someone to accompany her to have an abortion. But the master loves this girl now, so in order to eliminate the trouble forever, he wants her to never have children in the future. Without an heir, she won't be able to compete with the lady in the backyard. Do you know what to do?"
After the nanny finished speaking, she stuffed a fifty-liang silver note into the hands of the midwife.
After seeing the banknote, the black midwife, who looked like dry tree bark, had a glimmer of greed in her eyes. She immediately took the banknote and stuffed it into her arms, squinting her eyes and said:
"Don't worry, Ma'am. I know what to do."
She had seen a lot of such things. They were all the secrets in the backyards of wealthy families. Most of the people who came to her secretly for abortions were from such families. So this was a piece of cake for her. And since there was money to be paid, she agreed readily.
Just like that, without Xia Qingran's knowledge, she lost the right to be a mother. By the time she found out about this, it was a year later. She had been tortured to the point of being unrecognizable, breathing more than she breathed. After knowing this fact, she died.
Less than three days after Xia Qingran had her miscarriage, she was hastily betrothed to a wealthy peasant family. The family had a little property, but the man's ex-wife had died, leaving behind two sons and a daughter. Fearing that his stepmother would mistreat the children from his ex-wife, the man never remarried. If he really needed a wife, he would go to Baihua Tower in the city. However, this was not a long-term solution.
Just then, a matchmaker came to the house and introduced Xia Qingran to the other party, saying that she was the daughter of Deputy General Xia's distant cousin, but because she met the wrong man, she was beaten by her husband when she was pregnant and had a miscarriage, so her body was injured and she would not be able to have children in the future.
Because he was almost beaten to death this time, he finally asked Deputy General Xia to help him and he was able to escape from that family. However, Deputy General Xia could not keep him at home for a long time, so he thought about finding a reliable marriage.
This condition of not being able to have children was exactly what the man wanted. After all, he already had two sons and a daughter, so he had no shortage of children. What he lacked was a woman to warm his bed, so he agreed to take a look.
The two met through a matchmaker and were very satisfied with each other.
After all, Xia Qingran was born a young lady, so her appearance was needless to say, and she could also read and write. Except for the fact that she looked a little pale after the abortion, which made her look even more pitiful, everything else about her was very much to the man's liking.
Xia Qingran saw that the man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a strong build, and his family owned a hundred acres of fertile land, so he could be considered a wealthy family. She would be able to live a more relaxed life after marrying him. The only drawback was that he already had two sons and a daughter.
However, the matchmaker received Mrs. Xia's instructions and advised:
"My dear cousin, it's not that I, the matchmaker Sun, am not doing my best. You know the difference between a virgin girl and a divorced woman. In addition, you just had a miscarriage and your body is injured. Even if you marry into the family, you will have to take care of it for a year or so before you can have another child. If you miss this opportunity, you may not be able to have such good conditions in the future.
What is there to be afraid of if he has a child? It's not like you can't have children. Once you recover and give birth to a boy or a girl, your status will be more stable. It's not like the Lin family can't afford to raise them."
Xia Qingran knew that the matchmaker was telling the truth. Given his current situation, it was already good enough to find someone like her. Moreover, she was also eager to get married so as to avoid Yucheng's pursuit. Finally, she nodded and agreed to the marriage.
Since all parties agreed, Mrs. Xia simply prepared four loads of dowry, chose a day, and married Xia Qingran.
After resolving this concern, Lieutenant General Xia also discussed with his wife whether to tell General Meng about this matter.
"Husband, you must not do that."
"This matter can't be hidden after all!"
“But if you tell the truth, you are not General Meng’s benefactor, but his enemy. Anyway, we insist that she is your concubine’s daughter, so who really knows?
Now Langhuan is gone, and after a year or so, Qingran will also be dealt with, who knows."
"What if Cuizhu betrays us?"
"She can't, and she dares not!"
