Chapter 46 I'm Pregnant
Bai Changhao let go of Aunt Zheng and walked out of the door to greet them. Just then, the Third Prince also got off the carriage.
"Your subordinate greets the Third Prince."
The third prince was very humble. He supported Bai Changhao and prevented him from bending down.
"Father-in-law, please stop being polite."
Bai Changhao smiled happily when he was called father-in-law. This was what the third prince should do.
"Please come in, Third Prince."
"Wait a moment, father-in-law. Qingyou is here too."
He turned around and helped Bai Qingyou slowly get out of the carriage.
This was the first time Bai Qingyou came back after entering the Third Prince's Mansion. Looking at the plaque of the Bai Mansion, her eyes were red.
She walked up to Bai Changhao, knelt down and bowed, and called out sweetly, "Daddy."
Bai Changhao saw that his daughter's face was flushed. She was wearing a gorgeous bright red palace dress, which was almost bright red, and a three-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head, which showed how much the Third Prince valued her.
You should know that the Queen wears a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin, the Crown Princess can wear a seven-tailed phoenix hairpin, and the Prince's wife can only wear a five-tailed phoenix hairpin.
Qingyou is a concubine, but she can wear the three-tailed hat. The third prince is very thoughtful.
"Qingyou looks good. It seems that the Third Prince loves you very much. You must not take advantage of his favor and become arrogant. You must serve His Highness well."
"My daughter knows."
Seeing the loving father and filial daughter, the Third Prince nodded with satisfaction.
"Qingyou is very good, father-in-law, please don't say anything about her. This prince likes her and wants to pamper her."
Bai Qingyou lowered her head shyly: "Your Highness~"
Aunt Zheng had never thought that her daughter, as a concubine, could leave the house. She was overjoyed: "Qingyou, you're back. Come and show yourself to me."
She turned around and told the maid: "Go to the kitchen and prepare some dishes that Qingyou likes. Remember to make more plum cakes."
The smile on the Third Prince's lips froze for a moment. As expected, the aunt is the aunt. What does her nervous look mean? Is it possible that she can live without Bai Qingyou's food and drink in the Third Prince's Mansion?
Suddenly he thought of Bai Qinghuan. If he brought Bai Qinghuan back, the lady of the Bai Mansion would not behave like this.
Bai Qingyou didn't notice that the Third Prince's face was not right. She enjoyed the feeling of being held in someone's hands and held Aunt Zheng's hand: "Mother, mother is still the best."
But when he saw that Aunt Zheng's face was red and swollen, his smile disappeared.
She lifted the hair on Aunt Zheng's temples, and the slap mark was so obvious.
There were even traces of blood in some places, which was really shocking.
She thought of Lu Wanning in an instant.
If we were to say who in this mansion dares to go against my mother, it would be Lu Wanning.
Sternly, he said, "Did Lu Wanning hit you? I'll go settle the score with her."
As he said this, he was about to rush in.
Aunt Zheng held her back: "No... No, you misunderstood."
Bai Qingyou couldn't bear to see her mother being wronged: "I've already beaten you like this, what's the misunderstanding? Daddy, Mom was beaten, won't you help her?"
Bai Changhao turned his eyes away guiltily. He couldn't say in front of the Third Prince that he was the one who beat him, right?
But Bai Qingyou has always respected the Lu family. It is a bit strange that she just assumed that it was the Lu family who beat her without any reason.
Aunt Zheng was happy to see her daughter, and not wanting to cause trouble, she said vaguely, "It wasn't Lu Wanning who hit her."
"Qingyou, this is not important. Come back to the yard with me. I miss you very much."
Bai Changhao was finally satisfied when he saw that Aunt Zheng did not mention him.
"Third Prince, please come to the study."
Even if Bai Qingyou wanted to ask, since her mother wouldn't tell her, she could only follow her back to the Rose Courtyard.
"Mom, who is it?"
Aunt Zheng could only recount what had just happened.
"Why am I so miserable? I finally made some money from the shop, but before I could even spend it, your father took it all away."
When she saw her daughter, she felt even more aggrieved.
Even if she took it out to get some money, she still felt bad.
"Daddy actually hit you?"
Bai Qingyou couldn't believe it. In her opinion, her father loved her mother very much, so why would he hit her?
"I'm going to talk to Daddy."
"Qingyou, don't worry about it. Your father already knows he was wrong and he promised that he won't beat me again."
Bai Qingyou is a time traveler, so she doesn't really believe it. If there is a first time of domestic violence, there will be a second time.
In this patriarchal society, the status of women is really too low, and they can only endure being beaten.
I've only heard of women divorcing their wives, but never heard of women divorcing their husbands.
Her mother was a concubine who had signed a contract to sell herself, so she had no right to resist.
As a daughter, she must obey her parents' orders. It is normal and not illegal for poor families to sell their children.
Even if she went to her father to argue, nothing would change.
After Aunt Zheng revealed this matter, she looked her up and down, and was relieved to see that she had not lost weight and had even become a little plumper.
"Don't worry about me. Let me tell you. Why did the Third Prince bring you back today?"
Bai Qingyou shook off the previous thought. As long as she had a high status in the future, her mother would naturally live a good life.
She lowered her head shyly:
"Mom, my daughter is pregnant."
Aunt Zheng stood up in surprise, and she no longer felt the pain on her face.
"Really? That's great. Now you can gain a firm foothold in the Third Prince's Palace."
"Well, there was a snowstorm in Fuzhou some time ago, and the grain could not be transported in. I gave the Third Prince some advice and made a sled to help transport the grain. The Third Prince treated his daughter better."
"He said I had made an invaluable contribution. It just so happened that I was pregnant, and the Third Prince said he would find the right time to make me his concubine."
Aunt Zheng was overwhelmed by the series of good news, and the corners of her mouth were raised high.
"My daughter is really smart and lucky."
"As a concubine, you are entitled to raise your own child. Although he is not a legitimate son, I believe you will make him one."
By then he will be the eldest son, and Qingyou's position will be unbreakable.
I prayed in my heart that I would have a boy.
She stroked the three-tailed phoenix hairpin on Bai Qingyou's head. It was obviously something from the palace, and every detail of it was exquisite.
"Mom, I will wear the five-tailed phoenix hairpin sooner or later."
Then there are the seven-tailed nine-tailed fox.
One day, she will ascend to that supreme throne.
"Also, when my daughter becomes a concubine, I will ask my father to make you his co-wife."
My mother is the third prince's concubine and she is a concubine. If anyone tells others about it, it will be embarrassing for the third prince.
Lu Wanning did not violate any of the seven grounds for divorce, so divorce was impossible.
She can only be a co-wife.
"There's no rush for mother's affairs. In this mansion, besides your father, who else can make mother angry?"
She dreamed of becoming the principal wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but unfortunately, as long as Lu Wan Ning was alive, she would have no chance.
She also thought about poisoning, but Mingyue Court was on high alert and she couldn't find any chance at all.
Besides, my daughter needs to give birth to the baby safely first, and then we can talk about other things. Qingyou has made progress, and her good days are yet to come.
The mother and daughter chatted happily, but at the end, Bai Qingyou seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong?"
"Mom, I..."
"Is there anything you can't tell your mother?"
"Mother...it's just...my daughter has no cash on hand."
