Chapter 219: No pain, no itch
"Girl, it's born!"
Seeing Wang Maner running into the room with excitement, Daohua's face was filled with black lines.
What does it mean that a girl gave birth?
Can you still speak?
Wang Man'er didn't notice her slip of the tongue. When she got to Daohua, she excitedly said, "Miss, Aunt Lin gave birth to a daughter. You now have a younger sister."
Daohua silently looked at Wang Maner with a smile on her face.
Wang Maner saw her daughter looking straight at her, and the smile on her face froze: "Girl, what's wrong with you?"
Daohua was speechless. "Shouldn't I ask you what's wrong? Are you so happy that Aunt Lin gave birth to a daughter?"
Wang Man'er quickly shook her head: "I'm not happy. No, I'm happy because Aunt Lin gave birth to a daughter, not a son. Now, let's see how she can be so proud."
"Before she gave birth, she kept shouting that she wanted to eat something sour, as if she wanted to tell everyone that she was definitely pregnant with a boy. Now, she's embarrassed, isn't she?"
Daohua glanced at Wang Maner, who looked gloating, with a displeased look on her face: "Whether it's a boy or a girl, they are all her father's children."
Wang Man'er: "This is different. If it's a son, Aunt Lin will be so proud again."
Daohua didn't say much this time.
In ancient times, people had a deep-rooted idea of favoring boys over girls. Although she did not have this concept, it was indeed better for Aunt Lin to give birth to a daughter than a son.
Wang Maner added, "By the way, young lady, the master has punished Concubine Liu."
"Oh?" Daohua raised an eyebrow: "What's the punishment?"
Wang Man'er: "Master said that Concubine Liu caused Concubine Lin to give birth prematurely, and punished her to be grounded for three months, and also to recite scriptures and pray for the newborn Fifth Miss."
Daohua narrowed her eyes and asked, "Did Madam Liu really push Madam Lin?"
Wang Man'er curled her lips and said, "Who knows? Anyway, Aunt Lin's maid insisted that it was Aunt Liu who pushed her, and Aunt Liu was alone at the time."
"However, Aunt Liu's reaction was very strange. She didn't say a word to defend herself. She just said that she almost implicated the descendants of the Yan family. She was guilty and should be punished."
Daohua's eyes flashed: "You are really good at retreating to advance!"
Aunt Lin had just given birth, and her stepfather clearly wanted to take her side. So the more Aunt Liu defended herself, the more likely it would be to arouse her stepfather's disgust. It would be better for her to honestly admit her guilt. At least her attitude of admitting her mistakes would be good.
Moreover, her use of the word "implicity" is very interesting. Is she implying that it was Aunt Lin who attacked her first?
"Okay, let's not talk about them anymore. Quickly bring the embroidery stand to me. I have to finish embroidering the purse for Fourth Brother before his birthday, otherwise, he will make a fuss again."
December 18th is my fourth brother Yan Wenkai’s birthday, and it’s only a few days away.
Wang Man'er looked at the embroidery pattern curiously: "Girl, what animal are you embroidering? I've never seen it before. Is it a bear?"
Daohua picked up the embroidery tent with a smile, took a look at it, and said with satisfaction: "Isn't it cute? This is an animal from Bashu, a kind of bear."
A panda is also a bear.
Shuangxinyuan.
Aunt Lin lay on the bed, looking at her cradle daughter beside her with some disappointment.
Ever since she found out she was pregnant, she always thought she was having a son.
The more expectations she had at the beginning, the more disappointed she is now.
I originally thought that if I could give birth to another son, I could win back the master's heart, but now, all my thoughts have come to nothing.
At this moment, the head maid Xiyun came in: "Auntie, your mother and sister-in-law are here to see you."
Aunt Lin, who was originally in low spirits, suddenly lit up when she heard this: "Quick, please invite the person in."
Soon, a middle-aged woman and a young woman were brought in.
Seeing people, Aunt Lin wanted to sit up, but the middle-aged woman immediately stepped forward and held her down: "Hurry up and don't move. You just gave birth, it's time to recuperate."
Aunt Lin didn't try to be stubborn. She took Lin Wang's hand and went back. "Mother." Then she turned to look at the young woman next to her and said, "Sister-in-law."
Master Lin's wife, Mrs. Lin Xu, also walked forward with a smile and looked at the newborn girl: "What a beautiful child, she looks so much like you, sister."
Aunt Lin smiled and said, "I would rather she looked like the master, so that she can be loved by the master more."
Hearing this, Lin Wang's eyes immediately turned red, and she choked up a little, saying, "It's all your father's fault. If he had been more assertive, why would he have let you become someone else's concubine? Now you're even fighting for the love of your child's father."
Aunt Lin fell silent for a moment, and after a long while she smiled bitterly and said, "Mother, this is my fate."
Seeing the growing guilt and self-blame on Lin Wang's face, and her sister-in-law's expression becoming awkward, Aunt Lin had to pretend to be relaxed and said, "Mother, you know how the master treats me. I am living well in the Yan family."
Lin Wangshi looked dissatisfied: "Is she doing well? If she was doing well, why would she have a premature birth?"
Hearing this, Aunt Lin's eyes flashed, and she glanced at Xiyun, the head maid in the room: "You go and guard the door. I want to have a few private words with mother and my sister-in-law."
"yes."
Xiyun retreated quickly.
After everyone left, Aunt Lin said softly, "This isn't considered premature labor. I did it on purpose to deal with the guy in the yard."
Lin Wangshi and Lin Xushi were both shocked.
After a moment's silence, Lin Wangshi angrily scolded, "You, how could you not take care of your body? If anything were to happen, what would Wenbin and Yishuang do?"
Aunt Lin quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. I know what's going on."
Lin Wangshi still felt scared: "Being a woman is like walking through the gates of hell. You should never joke with your body again."
Aunt Lin's face darkened: "I'm afraid there won't be another chance in the future."
Lin Wangshi immediately said unhappily: "Don't say such discouraging words, you are still young."
Lin Xu also said: "That's right, with the love that Master Yan has for my sister, I'm sure you will have many children and be blessed with happiness in the future."
Aunt Lin shook her head and said bitterly: "I used to think so, but now..."
Lin Wangshi looked anxious: "What's going on? Has that vixen in your courtyard bewitched my son-in-law?"
Aunt Lin shook her head again: "That's not the case. The master is not a womanizer, and he is indifferent to Liu."
Lin Wang's face relaxed: "Then what are you worried about?"
Aunt Lin was silent for a moment: "To be honest, I'm not that worried about Liu anymore. I'm worried about Madam."
Lin Wangshi and Lin Xushi, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were both stunned.
Aunt Lin continued, "Just like this time, I risked a premature birth just to get rid of Liu. Even if I couldn't get rid of her, I had to make her move out of my yard."
"It was clearly about to be done, but Madam's words changed Master's mind, and he only confined Liu to her house and made her copy Buddhist scriptures as punishment."
"Compared to the pain I experienced during childbirth, this punishment is nothing."
"Now, the master values Madam more and more. In the past, whenever the master had something that was not going well, he would tell me, but now, the person he confides in has become Madam."
"What I rely on is the master's favoritism. If this favoritism is gone, then I will really be just an ordinary concubine in the Yan family's backyard."
