Chapter 124 The taste of that day came back to me again.
Xie Min nodded.
"Your pregnancy must not be revealed under any circumstances."
Lu Yuanzhang looked at the belly again, a hint of malice in his eyes.
Xie Min's pregnancy has made him suspicious of the fact that they have not had children for so many years.
It seems he needs to investigate this thoroughly.
"You must not do what happened yesterday. If you hurt my child, I will make you wish you were dead."
As he spoke, Lu Yuanzhang's fierce appearance was truly frightening.
Xie Min said weakly, "If it weren't for Shen Qingnian, my brother wouldn't have hurt me."
After Xie Min finished speaking, she secretly glanced at the expression on Lu Yuanzhang's face.
Shen Qingnian?
Lu Yuanzhang recalled that beautiful face again.
Yesterday, I heard from Zhi'er that Xie Yanzhi is particularly fond of that slut surnamed Chen.
How could he not have thought that Xie Yanzhi was able to rescue Shen Qingnian that day because he had fallen for that woman?
He remained resentful and uneasy about Xie Yanzhi's involvement in the bandit case.
This person is aloof and has no weaknesses.
Now, Shen Qingnian can be considered Xie Yanzhi's Achilles' heel.
He licked his back teeth, already having an idea in mind to manipulate Xie Yanzhi.
He excitedly pulled Xie Min onto his lap and patted her face, saying, "You've really helped me a lot."
"Once you give birth to my son, everything in the Guangde Marquis's mansion will belong to him."
As he spoke, he leaned in and kissed Xie Min on the cheek.
Xie Min smiled, but when he wasn't looking, she disgustedly wiped the drool off her face, feeling a wave of nausea wash over her.
Lu Yuanzhang found Xie Min much more pleasing to the eye at this moment. He saw her shyly lowering her head in his arms, and her smooth skin reminded him of that day.
After all, she was already quite good-looking, and had a delicate and soft body.
His hands couldn't help but wander over Xie Min's waist.
He pressed his face against Xie Min's neck and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll be gentler this time."
When Xie Min heard his words and noticed the movements of his hands, she felt as if thousands of insects were crawling all over her body.
The memory of that day's terror made her tremble involuntarily.
As his hand wandered over her throat, Xie Min covered her mouth and vomited.
Lu Yuanzhang frowned again and snorted coldly.
Her reaction was a bit too much. It didn't seem like vomiting caused by pregnancy; it seemed more like she vomited because of his touch.
Seeing this, Xie Min said with a hint of flattery, "I am really not feeling well and cannot serve you, Second Master."
Seeing that she was unable to vomit, Lu Yuanzhang felt quite uncomfortable, and his thoughts of her subsided.
He stood up, stroked his chin, glanced at Xie Min, and said, "Take good care of yourself. Once you're better, I'll pamper you properly." With that, he left the room.
Xie Min has angered him; he needs to go back to his mansion and find a beautiful concubine.
After Lu Yuanzhang left, Xie Min continued to vomit for a while before stopping.
This Lu Yuanzhang is truly disgusting!
The thought of having to face that repulsive face every day after moving into the mansion made Xie Min feel nauseous again.
In any case, she has achieved her goal of meeting Lu Yuanzhang today.
She deliberately mentioned Shen Qingnian's name to get Lu Yuanzhang's attention to her again.
She wanted to return what had happened to her to Shen Qingnian.
Xie Min thought to herself: Shen Qingnian, just enjoy Lu Yuanzhang's favor.
When Xie Min returned to the manor, her pale face terrified Madam Lin.
She had just ridden in the carriage and now felt a tightness in her chest. She pushed Lin away and covered her mouth, unable to hold back her vomiting.
Mrs. Lin quickly closed the door, leaving only her and her daughter inside.
Madam Lin turned around, took a few plums from the bedroom, and handed them to Xie Min: "Eat these, and you won't throw up."
Seeing that the plums were still unripe, Xie Min swallowed hard, picked one up, and put it in her mouth.
While eating, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Madam Lin: "Mother, do you know?"
Madam Lin nodded. After all, she was a woman who had given birth, and she knew perfectly well what was wrong with Xie Min's behavior these days.
She held Xie Min's hand and asked with concern, "Min'er, what exactly are you thinking?"
Xie Min's eyes welled up with tears: "I hate Lu Yuanzhang."
Hearing this, Lin was somewhat surprised, as she didn't quite understand Xie Min's thoughts.
In the past, she would definitely have made Xie Min abort the child, since it was an illegitimate child that would not be tolerated by the world.
But now that Xie Min is going to marry into the Guangde Marquis's family, this child will be Xie Min's future support.
Madam Lin: "Min'er, then why did you still choose to marry into the Marquis of Guangde's household?"
Xie Min gritted her teeth and said, "Lu Yuanzhang ruined me. I need to stay by his side so that I can have a chance to take revenge on him."
"As for this child, he shouldn't even think about it!"
This child is the mark of her humiliation. How could she have been born to remind herself of all that nightmarish stuff every day?
As for Lu Yuanzhang, she would not let him have his way; such a person should be childless and without descendants!
Seeing Xie Min's tears, Lin felt extremely distressed.
Both Xie Min and Lu Yuanzhang are sinners in Xie Min's case.
Madam Lin wiped away her tears and comforted her, "You should take good care of yourself first. I'll cover for you in front of others. Let's make sure nothing goes wrong on the day you come to the manor."
"Whatever you want to do, your mother will stand behind you."
After Xie Min fell asleep, Lin came to Xie Songyi's room.
She said so much to Xie Songyi, but he didn't react at all!
Unable to contain herself, Lin began pounding her fist on Xie Songyi's chest, muttering, "Say something! What am I supposed to do?!"
In the past, although he didn't like her, he still loved Xie Min.
Now, he is controlled by her in everything, but that's not what she wants.
She looked at that no longer handsome face, leaned in and kissed his forehead.
She was once completely captivated by his face, and she still loves him now.
Lin looked up at Xie Songyi: "Yi Lang, what should I do?"
Unfortunately, all she received in response was that empty, numb gaze.
Guanlan Residence.
Shen Qingnian was cleaning Xie Yanzhi's study early in the morning when she sneezed softly.
Xie Yanzhi heard the sound and looked up at her.
Did she catch a cold yesterday?
"Come over here and wipe this place again!" Xie Yanzhi pointed to the desk in front of him.
Shen Qingnian glanced at the desk, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
She had already wiped the table, but Xie Yanzhi still demanded that she wipe it again with a dark expression.
But she is now a servant, and Xie Yanzhi is her master; she cannot refuse.
Shen Qingnian slowly walked over, picked up a handkerchief, and began to wipe herself vigorously.
Xie Yanzhi saw that she still had the energy to get angry, so her body should be fine.
He then spoke calmly, "Second Uncle should take his medicine."
Shen Qingnian paused, then realized that Xie Yanzhi wanted her to go with him to see the medicine.
Since the medicine was prepared properly, there was nothing wrong with it.
When that medicine was brought to Second Master's room, it must have already been the problematic kind of medicine.
After Shen Qingnian wiped the table again, she followed Xie Yanzhi to the second house's courtyard. When she opened the door, she saw Aunt Su feeding Xie Songyi his medicine.
"Aunt!" Shen Qingnian called out.
Aunt Su turned around and saw that Shen Qingnian and Xie Yanzhi were both there. She put the medicine aside, stood up and bowed to Xie Yanzhi: "Young Master."
Shen Qingnian glanced towards the door and saw Yuan Qing and Ling'er standing guard there. She gestured for Aunt Su to be quiet.
Then, she took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom and scooped the medicine in one spoonful at a time.
"Nian'er...?" Aunt Su was somewhat surprised by Shen Qingnian's actions.
Shen Qingnian whispered in Aunt Su's ear, "This medicine can no longer be given to the Second Master."
Seeing that Xie Yanyi remained silent and followed Nian'er's lead, Aunt Su concluded that he must agree with her doing so.
She realized something too, and covered her mouth in surprise, looking at the medicine with questioning eyes, wondering if there was something wrong with it.
Shen Qingnian nodded.
Just then, Lin's voice came from outside the door: "What are you doing here?"
