“One or two would be fine, which man doesn’t do that? But he’s had four in just one year, two of them pregnant, and now there’s another brothel slut who’s pregnant too.”
"If word gets out, we'll be laughed at to death!"
Jiang Yao covered her ears, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.
"Mother, please stop talking! I don't want to hear any of this right now."
After having the maidservant chase Song away, Jiang Yao collapsed onto the bed, her mind flashing back to everything that had happened since her rebirth.
Yes.
Just as her mother said, if this got out, it would be incredibly embarrassing.
However, she never imagined that she would end up in this situation.
Mingming was reborn so that she could rekindle her romance with Yulang.
From the very beginning of the marriage exchange, everything was wonderful.
Only that old witch, Mrs. Bo, made things difficult for her at every turn.
Now that the aunt has become kinder to her, there are more and more people in Yulang's room.
At first, she also cried her heart out.
But later she came to terms with it.
Which man doesn't have multiple wives and concubines? As long as she is the most important one, that's all that matters.
But how did things come to this?
Was it her fault?
But how could she be wrong?
She was doing it for Yulang's future!
Moreover, even the aunt praised her, thinking that she was ambitious and worked hard supervising Yulang's studies, so she must be right.
Mrs. Bo was not wrong either.
Yulang is certainly wrong... his mistakes are heinous.
But what he said also seems to make sense...
How can a man endure not touching a woman for three months?
Moreover, Yulang is naturally strong in that area.
It must be that bitch Xiao Taohong's fault!
right!
It must be her!
It's all her!
The sluts in brothels only care about hooking up with handsome and rich men; they never think about the man's future.
She was foolish enough to love Yulang wholeheartedly, neglecting his needs for the sake of his future.
After all, men and women are different.
Women can endure it.
Men can't stand it.
"Yulang just made a mistake by accident, a mistake that all men make."
"Yulang must have had a very tough time these past three months!"
"It's all my fault for keeping rejecting him!"
"It must be that bitch Xiao Taohong who took the opportunity to bewitch Yulang. How could my Yulang abandon me and run away from home for a bitch? It must have been that bitch who orchestrated it, and the pregnancy was definitely premeditated."
"What 'virgin'? Bah!"
"How many of those cheap prostitutes are clean!"
"Only a naive young man like Yulang would be fooled."
"No, I can't just sit idly by. We're husband and wife, and I have to make Yulang see this slut's true colors."
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao perked up, wiped away her tears, and sat up in bed.
"Someone, quickly go and find out where that bitch Xiao Taohong lives."
"I'll tear her face to shreds!"
Meanwhile, in Red Lane, Pei Lingyu and Xiao Taohong had already returned to the house he had rented for Xiao Taohong.
The two-courtyard house couldn't compare to the Earl's Mansion, but with fewer people, it wasn't cramped.
But as soon as he came back, he was completely listless.
The resolute demeanor from before was gone, replaced only by worry.
"Yao'er has fainted, I wonder if she's alright..."
"I should have stayed, but if I had stayed, wouldn't that have been admitting defeat?"
"I'm a man, how can I listen to a woman in everything?"
Under the moonlight, Pei Lingyu stood under a peach tree in the courtyard, her heart filled with grief and indignation.
For three whole months, he was kept under Jiang Yao's control, his every move was monitored by her, and all the maids and servants around him were replaced with vulgar male servants.
Not only did he have no time to play on weekdays, but even when friends came to visit him during his days off, Jiang Yao turned them away.
When he arrived at the Imperial Academy, his brothers laughed at him for being henpecked.
A real man should tell a woman to listen to him; why should his family do the opposite?
They even took care of his lower body.
Does that mean he can still be considered a man?
Thinking about this, Pei Lingyu didn't think she had done anything wrong.
After all, he's a man, and he really has a need.
Although he occasionally visits brothels, it's just for fun.
With his noble status and handsome appearance, he was naturally a top-notch playboy in the brothel, and he was indeed sought after. Many courtesans even sang his poems, which made him famous.
However, he was also very clear about it in his heart.
A courtesan is just a courtesan after all; she's just someone to play with. How could anyone possibly take her home? That would be a laughingstock.
Even hiring a few maids and servants to serve Xiao Taohong in a small courtyard was only because Xiao Taohong was a courtesan.
Moreover, Jiang Yao forbade him to be near women, so he secretly kept Xiao Taohong as his mistress.
Ultimately, however, Xiao Taohong was not up to the task.
When did you get pregnant?
Pei Lingyu stared at Xiao Taohong beside her with an unfriendly expression.
Xiao Taohong was beautiful and alluring, but she had a very gentle personality. She always went along with him. For three whole months, she would take whatever he gave her, and she wouldn't mention it if he didn't give it to her.
She was much better and more sensible than the women in the brothel who would start making demands and setting conditions after serving a few times.
Unexpectedly, she suddenly became pregnant without informing him and went directly to the Earl's residence.
"My lord, I only found out today."
"I was so flustered. You've been away these past few days, that's why I came to your door."
As shrewd as Xiao Taohong was, she noticed the change in Pei Lingyu's gaze and quickly feigned weakness.
During the time she spent with Pei Lingyu, he would always call her to his carriage whenever he needed her.
They would seize any opportunity to engage in intimate acts, but never mention anything about the Earl's mansion.
She vaguely guessed that Pei Lingyu wanted to keep her outside indefinitely.
But how could she be willing to accept it, especially after she realized she was pregnant? She endured until the fetus was three months along and more stable before finally coming to him.
Hearing her words, Pei Lingyu still asked warily, "You haven't had your period for three months, and you didn't suspect anything?"
“I’ve never been pregnant, how would I know these things? My husband knows that I used to be a courtesan, I only sang songs, I didn’t sell my body.”
"..."
These words immediately silenced Pei Lingyu.
"That's true. You're a young brothel owner. Without any guidance, how would you know you were pregnant?"
"yes."
Xiao Taohong nodded shyly, then sobbed, "When I heard the good news about my pregnancy today, I wanted to tell my husband as soon as possible, and also let all the ladies in the mansion know about this news, since my husband doesn't have a child yet."
"I never expected my wife to dislike me so much..."
As she spoke, she threw herself into Pei Lingyu's arms and began to cry. With that, her full breasts pressed against his, and the man's body instantly became as hot as boiling oil.
He hadn't seen Xiao Taohong for several days.
It's been a long time since I've had that...
Thinking about this, my mouth and tongue became dry, and my lower abdomen felt like it was on fire.
