Fortunately, when she realized something was wrong, she went back and told her mother.
Fortunately, my aunt's husband worked in the county town, and my aunt also knew Chi Yu.
Otherwise, she would have really been jumping into a fire pit for the rest of her life.
Once they're married, even if she discovers something's wrong and wants to go home, it will probably be difficult.
Although her mother loves her, she may not necessarily let her divorce and return home.
After all, no matter how much her family loves her, they can't be like Chi Yu's family.
Hunters act on impulse, without much regard for consequences.
But not her family!
Even if her parents agree, the Zhong and Wang families will definitely object and try to stop her.
As she quickly thought about these things, Zhong Yufeng looked at Chi Yu with a hint of envy in her eyes.
She also wanted a family member who would unconditionally protect her.
She is not married yet. Although her parents love her, it is only when it does not affect the family.
Chi Yu noticed Zhong Yufeng's envious gaze and felt a little puzzled, but she didn't think too much about it.
Zhuang Zilan's pregnancy, however, surprised her somewhat.
In the book, Zhuang Zilan waited until Qi Mingyu passed the imperial examination, and after many twists and turns, they finally got together.
Their first child was born after their marriage.
Although the content of the book differs somewhat from reality, she did kick Zhuang Zilan hard in the stomach before the divorce.
She shouldn't have been pregnant at that time.
If she were pregnant, she probably would have miscarried it.
Since she wasn't pregnant then, that must have happened after her divorce?
Thinking of this, Chi Yu couldn't help but click his tongue. Perhaps these two were truly in love.
Otherwise, after things have gotten so messy, would they still be in the mood for sex?
While Chi Yu was thinking these things, Chi Qiao, who was holding Zhuangzhuang beside her, asked:
Does the Xue family know that Zhuang Zilan is pregnant?
Since it was Chi Qiao who spoke, Wang Yunjuan took over the conversation, saying:
"Of course I know! After learning that his parents and his widowed sister-in-law had faked their deaths to hide from him and give birth, Qi Xiucai immediately told the Xue family."
The Xue family originally came for his future prospects, wanting to marry their daughter to a scholar who was about to pass the imperial examination and become a xiucai (a successful candidate in the provincial-level imperial examination). It was not easy, so they never thought of breaking off the engagement.
However, they had a condition: that Zhuang Zilan's unborn child be aborted, and that she be married off afterwards.
By the way, in order to get on Qi Mingyu's good side, the betrothal gifts that the Qi family offered were prepared by the Xue family themselves.
He also said that after the marriage, he would buy her a house in a place like the capital city.
If one passes the imperial examination and becomes a Jinshi, they will even be given a shop in the capital.
After hearing this, Chi Yu couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems the Xue family has really gone all out. No wonder Qi Mingyu and the Shen family both agreed."
However, Qi Mingyu is heartless. I reckon the Xue family might raise a gluttonous ingrate.
Back when I was in the Qi family, Shen always brought up my status. Even though Qi Mingyu knew, he always told me not to talk back to my elders.
He also said that his parents had raised me with great difficulty, and since he was studying at the county school, he couldn't be there to serve me.
He and I are husband and wife, so I have to take good care of him.
I estimate that once Qi Mingyu passes the imperial examination and becomes a Jinshi, he and the Shen family will start to get cocky.
By then, even if the Xue family is rich, what good will it do? They'll still just be merchants in a small town.
They would definitely look down on the Xue family girl in every way possible.
Even if the Xue family manages to climb up to the Qi family, so what?
The girl is not favored by Qi Mingyu and suffers from her mother-in-law's torment, while the Xue family will become Qi Mingyu's money bag.
