Chapter 260 Do you feel pain when a knife falls on you?
Chunxi came to the Taifu Mansion.
When Shen Qingchi heard the news, she had just finished taking the pregnancy-maintaining medicine.
It was she who hinted to Ning to kidnap Chunxi's mother and nephew. She thought Chunxi was doomed to die, but unexpectedly Chunxi not only came back alive, but Ning also turned her in.
She had no experience in doing bad things and was so frightened that she fell ill just two days after being imprisoned in the Dali Temple.
Murdering her eldest sister-in-law is a serious crime. She thought she was finished, but she didn't expect that the Taifu Mansion would actually pay 12,000 taels of silver to redeem her.
The day she returned home, she only saw Yun Wantang.
Aunt Wu didn't blame her, she just said she was too silly, and then hugged her tightly.
Her panic-stricken heart now had something to rely on, and she burst into tears. She felt more and more that Fifth Aunt was the only person in the world who treated her well.
After recuperating at home for a few days, although her illness was cured, her fetus was a little unstable and she had to take pregnancy-maintaining medicine every day. When she heard that Chunxi had come to the Taifu Mansion, Shen Qingchi's heart couldn't help but beat faster and her belly tightened slightly.
Shen Qingchi touched her belly and comforted her softly, "Be good, don't be afraid, mother will protect you."
After asking her maid to change her into more dignified and luxurious clothes and putting on some delicate makeup, Shen Qingchi slowly went to the front hall.
Unlike Shen Qingchi's deliberate dressing, Chunxi wore no makeup and had a casual posture, but her rosy complexion and slightly plumper cheeks showed that she had been living well recently.
Moreover, during this meeting, Shen Qingchi clearly discovered that Chunxi had become more noble.
That kind of nobility is not brought out by clothes and accessories, but comes from the inside out, naturally.
Shen Qingchi clenched the silk handkerchief tightly. She had hoped that Chunxi would be angry and heartbroken when she saw that she was living a good life, but now she unconsciously felt inferior.
Although her mother's means of ascending to power were despicable, she was also a legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family. Her family background was higher than Chunxi's, and she should have lived a better life than Chunxi. Why did she pale in comparison to Chunxi now?
Feeling unwilling, Shen Qingchi's expression darkened, and he asked bluntly, "What are you doing here?"
Anyway, her implication that Ning had kidnapped Chunxi's family had been exposed, so she didn't need to act in front of Chunxi anymore.
Hearing this, Chunxi raised her eyes and looked over, half smiling, "I thought my sister would have realized her mistakes after her visit to the Dali Temple. Now it seems that not only is she unrepentant, she has even forgotten the most basic rules and manners."
Chunxi's call of "sister" was both natural and ironic. Shen Qingchi felt a pang in his heart and couldn't help but retort, "Sister-in-law, have you ever treated me like a sister? Isn't it because of you that I've come this far?"
After saying this, Shen Qingchi's eyes turned red, and his resentment towards Chunxi almost overflowed from his eyes.
Chunxi didn't think Shen Qingchi's current situation had anything to do with her. She said calmly, "You wanted to kill me. I knew you were released from prison and I still came to care for you. Even if you are my biological sister, isn't this enough for me?"
Shen Qingchi didn't believe Chunxi came here to care about her. She suppressed her emotions and didn't let herself cry. She said coldly: "Sister-in-law never comes to visit you for no reason. Why don't you just tell me what you want to do today?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, what you said is really chilling, sister."
Chunxi showed a look of heartache, and at the end of his speech, his tone was drawn out and very sarcastic.
Shen Qingchi gritted his teeth in anger.
She is too lazy to act, so why is Cao Chunxi still acting here?
"Cao Chunxi, what exactly are you going to do?"
Shen Qingchi couldn't hold it back any longer and questioned angrily. Chunxi then curled her lips and said, "Didn't I just say that I came here specifically to care about my sister?"
"I'm living well in the Taifu Mansion. I don't need your concern."
Shen Qingchi refused directly. Chunxi said quietly, "Why not? My sister was made legitimate by the child in her belly. Nothing can go wrong with the child. In the past few months, my sister has not been able to sleep with her brother-in-law. Her brother-in-law is young and energetic, so how can he hold back? These vixens outside are not as reliable as our own people. That's why I came here today to send my sister's family."
Chunxi repeated all the words Shen Jinhua had said to him yesterday. When Shen Qingchi realized what was going on, he was so angry that he was shaking all over.
She knew that Cao Chunxi had no good intentions!
"This is my business, none of your business!"
Shen Qingchi gritted his teeth and growled. Chunxi sat still, as steady as a mountain. "I really mean well. Sister, you should know that in this world, having a daughter is useless. You have to have a son. Sister, you are weak. If you are pregnant with a daughter, and the birth hurts your vitality, your life in this mansion will be difficult in the future. It's always good to have your family to help you share the burden."
Chunxi's words touched Shen Qingchi.
After returning from the Dali Temple, Li Jixian became cold towards her again. The doctor said that the fetus was unstable and they must not have sex. She did not dare to go to Li Jixian. She was worried every day that something might happen to the baby in her belly, or that it would be a girl when it was born, and then she would lose her support in the Taifu Mansion.
But even so, she couldn't accept another woman sharing a husband with her.
She is still so young. If she takes good care of herself, she will be able to give birth to a son!
Shen Qingchi felt that Chunxi was now extremely annoying. She didn't want to say another word to Chunxi, and angrily said in a deep voice: "Cao Chunxi, get out!"
Shen Qingchi was already furious, but his words had no deterrent effect on Chunxi. Without even moving an inch, she raised an eyebrow and said, "Sister, you're so furious now! Didn't you go back to the Marquis' Mansion and tell me I was looking for a prescription to have a child? You only feel the pain after you've stabbed yourself."
Chunxi didn't even go out and spread rumors that she had a health problem and couldn't get pregnant. This is completely wrong.
Hearing Chunxi mention this, Shen Qingchi calmed down a bit. She said with a stern face: "What I said is all true. You did go to the clinic to ask the doctor for a prescription. If you don't dare to admit it, I can accompany you to the clinic to confront the doctor face to face."
"I didn't say I didn't recognize her," Chunxi said with a narrowed gaze. "My sister cares about me, and I care about her too. It's only right that we should reciprocate, isn't it?"
“…”
Shen Qingchi pursed his lips and was about to have Chunxi kicked out when Yun Wantang walked into the front hall.
"Chi'er, what happened? Why are your eyes so red?"
Yun Wantang didn't say hello to Chunxi, and all she said was express her concern for Shen Qingchi.
Shen Qingchi felt that he had someone to rely on, and immediately felt aggrieved. He pulled Yun Wantang to complain: "Fifth Aunt, my sister-in-law wants to force someone to be my husband's concubine!"
Yun Wantang immediately looked at Chunxi and said, "Chi'er was able to come out of the Dali Temple, which means that the Dali Temple has already given up on pursuing her previous mistakes. Madam Shen, please forgive her."
Yun Wantang's tone was full of justice, making Chunxi seem more pressing and overbearing.
Chunxi raised an eyebrow and met Yun Wantang's gaze. "My brother-in-law has been hanging around in red-light districts lately. I was afraid he might catch some disease and harm my sister, so I sent him here out of kindness. If your family doesn't care about her, shouldn't I, her eldest sister-in-law, care about her?"
Chunxi's words made Shen Qingchi tremble all over and his face turned pale.
Aunt Wu said that she had made a big mistake this time, and it was normal for her husband to be a little cold to her. She shouldn't have pestered her husband, but should have taken good care of the baby in her belly and waited until the baby was born.
But Fifth Aunt never told me that her husband had been hanging out in red-light districts recently.
Did Cao Chunxi deliberately lie to her?
