Master Du also wanted to plead with Feng Chan. However, he said, "It's no use. You've only heard how miserable the girls sold to brothels are. She experienced it firsthand. She won't forgive you. If your mother had even a little bit of compassion back then, you wouldn't be in this situation today."
After the Emperor betrothed Sisi to the Crown Prince, people dug up Fengchan's past. Du Zijuan had also heard about it. "She didn't suffer. Her first client was Young Master Yun. The Yun family redeemed her as soon as she started dating him. She didn't suffer. Also, if my mother hadn't sold her to a brothel, she wouldn't have met Young Master Yun. If she hadn't met him..."
Master Du could hardly believe his ears. "Shut up! How could you think such a thing?"
Master Du's youngest son quickly added, "Sister, please don't say that. If the Crown Princess hears this, we're all doomed."
"I...I'll tell you about it."
"Walls have ears."
"I...I won't say anything more. Please help me think of a solution. My son is still young."
What can they do?
Master Du closed his eyes briefly.
He shouldn't have slept with Juan'er's mother and then accepted Miss Qin. Back then, his family wasn't as good as the Qin family, and the Yang family wasn't as good as his family either; they had always depended on the Du family.
Initially, he planned to marry Miss Qin first, and then bring Juan'er's mother into the family. This would benefit both his family and the Yang family.
The Du family prospered, and naturally the Yang family also benefited.
Unexpectedly...
Master Du looked at Du Zijuan and said, "If you're worried they'll treat your children badly, bring them back."
"Father?!"
Master Du waved his hand. "You may all leave."
"Father?"
"Go out."
Du Zijuan wanted to speak, but her younger brother pulled her out. "Father said that once this matter has passed, he will go to the temple to become a nun."
"What?!"
Three days later, Du Zijuan returned to the Du family home with her children and dowry. She dared not gamble that her son and daughter would have the same good fortune as Feng Chan.
Her husband's family also wanted to sever ties with her, so they let her take the child with her. Anyway, she had no future if she didn't take the child.
The other married daughters of the Du, Yang, and Qin families were also affected, though less so than Du Zijuan.
Sisi left only after she had repaired all the nearby waterways. When Sisi left, the local officials and people all came to see her off.
After Sisi left, Master Du became a monk.
The Du, Yang, and Qin families also began to live a secluded life.
Meanwhile, after receiving the letter from the Qin family sent back by Sisi, Fengchan went to find Abbess Qingzhu.
After finding Abbess Qingzhu, Fengchan gave her the documents written by the Qin family. "You gave birth to me, and I will take care of you. Don't think about anything else."
Master Qingzhu looked at Feng Chan with resentment and said, "I've had such a miserable life all because of you!"
Feng Chan didn't want to say too much to Qingzhu. "If that's what you want to think, then think that way. I'll have someone bring you the money on time."
After saying that, Feng Chan left.
Master Qingzhu angrily tore up all the papers in her hand. "Bastard! Bastard!"
Meanwhile, the Emperor also knew that Sisi had led people to repair the waterways. The Emperor had actually had reservations about Sisi going out to play. Now, however, he felt there was nothing wrong with Sisi going out to play. After all, she was just a child; when he was Sisi's age, he also wanted to go out and play.
Meanwhile, Yun Yuqi and Madam Yun were preparing to return to the capital.
The border troops are under the command of Yun Yuxuan and General Niu. Yun Yuxuan and General Niu can take turns returning to the capital, and when they return, the troops are handed over to another person.
General Niu's eldest son, Niu Minglei, is engaged to Sisi's second cousin, Yun Xiangyan. Yun Xiangyan is the daughter of Sisi's second uncle.
Feng Chan was directing the servants to tidy up the house when Lao Hei arrived. "My wife is pregnant."
"Really? That's great! Do you know how to take care of a pregnant woman? If you don't, I'll find someone to teach you."
Old Hei turned and left. "Didn't you just mean to say that you can't do *that* when she's newly pregnant?" "I will, you go ahead with your work."
Is it real or fake? No, she has to go talk to Dongyu. "Wait for me, I'm going to check on your wife."
After Feng Chan followed Lao Hei to the next room, she said to him, "Go ahead and do your work. I'll talk to your wife about some women's matters."
"Don't scare my wife."
"Okay, you can go ahead and get busy."
Old Hei was worried, so he secretly climbed onto the roof and listened for a long time.
Feng Chan chattered on and on to Han Dongyu. “Don’t be afraid, Grandpa Lin will be back soon. Once he’s back, we’ll bring him here.”
The old man Lin that Fengchan mentioned is Lin Yunliang, the founder of Lin Family Medical Clinic.
Han Dongyu laughed upon hearing this. "Alright, we'll bring him over when Grandpa Lin comes back."
"Hmm. Did you send someone to deliver a message to your mother?" Han Dongyu's mother had always lived with her eldest uncle, whose workplace was quite far from the capital.
"Not yet. I want to wait until things are more stable before I send the letter to my mother."
"Fine. Your mother still doesn't want to live with you and Lao Hei?"
"Yes. My mother said she'll go live with my brother after he gets married. She said it's already embarrassing enough that my brother lives with me and Lao Hei, it would be too inappropriate for her to come too."
"Now that you're pregnant, she should be willing to come and take care of you, right?"
"I'll ask her."
Feng Chan gave Han Dongyu a few more instructions before leaving.
Old Hei originally wanted to jump in through the window, but he was afraid of scaring Han Dongyu.
Fengchan just said that pregnant women shouldn't be frightened.
Old Hei obediently walked in from the door. "Does pregnancy require so much caution?"
