Chapter 3: Do I Really Want to Abort the Baby?
Lin Zhiyi took out a stack of farm deeds, house deeds, and the indentures of all the servants of the Qin family.
When the old women entered the main courtyard, she found the location of these things through the original owner's memory and collected all these things and the silver bills.
Chai Ya was busy arguing with the old woman and didn't see it.
"Chai Ya, take these things and go find Fang Mama..."
Lin Zhiyi gave the land deed and the indenture to Chai Ya, and whispered a few words to her.
Chai Ya's eyes lit up, and then she said, "I'll do it right away."
Lin Zhiyi then instructed, "Get me another dose of abortion medicine when you come back."
After she gets rid of this child, she will settle accounts with these people one by one.
Chai Ya hesitated for a moment, "Miss, you really don't want to keep this child?"
"Qin Lang is about to marry another woman, and he still wants me to bear his child? Dream on!"
Chai Ya was a little surprised by Lin Zhiyi’s words.
The girl was so anxious when she heard that the Lin family was convicted two days ago that she was always submissive in front of her son-in-law and looked as if she was sorry for him.
Afraid that the affairs of the Lin family would implicate her son-in-law, she simply went to the prison and forced the master of the Lin family to write a letter of severance of the relationship, and only then was she satisfied.
But it's only been two days, how come she has changed completely?
Chai Ya was afraid that Lin Zhiyi would regret it, so she reminded her, "Miss, if this child is gone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to my uncle. You and my uncle..."
It's really over.
"Do I need to explain to him? Did he explain to me when he asked me to make room for him after marrying a concubine? Stop wasting time here and go."
The reason why Lin Zhiyi gave these important things to Chai Ya was because the book mentioned a few sentences that the most loyal servants who stayed with the original owner were Chai Ya and Fang Mama.
Mother Fang was the original owner's wet nurse. She had mentioned it to the original owner many times, making the original owner be more cautious. She felt that the Qin family did not treat the original owner sincerely.
However, the original owner thought that Mother Fang was trying to sow discord between her and her husband, so she gave the indenture contract to Mother Fang and kicked her out.
Mother Fang was very reluctant to let go. This was the girl she had raised since she was a child, and now she got married and the man didn't want her anymore.
She kowtowed three times in a row, looked back every few steps, and finally left the Qin family with red eyes.
The original owner still had feelings for Fang Mama. When she left the Qin family, the original owner gave her a yard in Chang'an City.
That yard was bought by the original owner for Fang's mother, so she naturally knew where it was.
In the end, these two servants were killed by the Qin family because they protected the original owner.
Seeing that Chai Ya wanted to leave, Lin Zhiyi called her back, "Are you going out?"
Chai Ya patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, young lady, I'll take care of it. There's a dog hole on the east wall where I've climbed out before. I won't let them see me."
Seeing Chai Ya running away, Lin Zhiyi felt uncomfortable all over, so she entered the space, lay on her Simmons mattress, and waited for Chai Ya to come back.
Maybe it was because her body was too delicate, or maybe it was because of morning sickness, but after all this tossing and turning, she actually fell asleep.
It was not until she heard Chai Ya calling her that she hurried out of the space.
"Chai Ya, stop shouting, I'm here."
Chai Ya ran over and asked, "Girl, why are you sitting on the ground?"
Lin Zhi pointed to the room and said, "There's no difference between sitting on the bed and sitting on the floor."
Chai Ya put down the medicine in her hand and helped Lin Zhiyi up. "I forgot that the young lady was unwell. I should have helped her clean up before leaving. Let you lie down and rest first."
Lin Zhiyi looked at the medicine on the ground and asked, "Where did you get the money? I think I forgot to give you the money when you left."
"My lady, this is my monthly salary. I've been saving it and not wanting to spend it. I wanted to have someone take it back to my hometown to give to my parents when I had the chance. Now that you're in trouble, this money could come in handy."
Lin Zhiyi was touched and felt fortunate to have such a loyal girl.
"Miss, I have completed all the tasks you assigned to me. Just wait and see. She will make the Qin family homeless."
Seeing Lin Zhiyi looking listless, Chai Ya wiped a worn-out chair with her sleeve and moved it to the yard under the sun.
"Miss, please bask in the sun outside first. I will clean up the house. I will go and boil the medicine after I am done."
Lin Zhiyi had no idea what morning sickness felt like. She felt uncomfortable all over.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Chai Ya paused. The girl actually told her it was hard. She quickly said, "It's not hard, it's not hard."
Lin Zhiyi walked to the yard.
The spring sun is not scorching, its light carries a fresh breath, as if it has just awakened from the cold winter, with a hint of shyness and tenderness.
Lin Zhiyi sat on the chair, feeling lazy, but she was thinking about what to do next.
The book says that because Crown Prince Li Wenjing used witchcraft in the Eastern Palace, the emperor was furious and demoted him to a commoner and exiled him to Fangzhou to do hard labor.
The capital of this dynasty was Chang'an. From Chang'an to Fangzhou, if you follow the official road of this dynasty, it is more than a thousand miles.
Lin Zhiyi curled the corners of his lips, a hint of sarcasm appearing on his face. This old emperor was really willing to exile his precious son thousands of miles away.
He knew clearly that all this was a frame-up by the King of Qi, but he still chose to exile him. On the day when the deposed prince returned to Chang'an City, the old emperor cried bitterly again, saying that he exiled him in order to protect him.
He is no different from the foolish father in his previous life. It is true that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather!
But the suffering that Li Wenjing endured was real.
Even the ministers in the court who pleaded for the prince were sentenced to prison and their three clans were exiled. Does the old emperor want to make all the prince's followers jealous and let them be dragged down by the prince?
And the Lin family is among them.
Your heart is truly unpredictable. Serving you is like serving a tiger.
Exile to Fangzhou?
Lin Zhiyi's eyes suddenly narrowed.
Fangzhou is "surrounded by mountains and forests, and has a dangerous and solid terrain", making it an ideal "political isolation zone". The princes or dignitaries exiled here cannot quickly interfere in state affairs, and their former subordinates find it difficult to infiltrate.
In addition, although Fangzhou is not rich, its mild climate can guarantee the basic living conditions of the exiles and prevent accidents and civil unrest caused by famine.
Therefore, Fangzhou's environment is relatively safe and suitable for long-term imprisonment.
No wonder the emperor exiled the deposed prince to Fangzhou. It shows that he is not completely heartless. This place is much better than the smoky and miasmic places like Lingnan and Qianzhou, or the bitter and cold places like the north.
If she were exiled to Fangzhou, she could go with the Lin family after she had a miscarriage.
Thinking about how in the book, even though the Lin family returned to the capital five years later, they would still end up with their entire family property confiscated and their two brothers beheaded, now that she had traveled through time, she would not let the Lin family become political cannon fodder again.
Isn't it just going into exile with the Lin family? It just so happens that she likes traveling and adventure, so she can see what exile was like for the ancients.
But before leaving, of course, she would take away everything that should be taken away, including the dowry that the Lin family gave to the original owner.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiyi suddenly felt stronger.
Chai Ya was very efficient and had cleaned up the house in no time, then went to get the bedding.
Although some of the things that were originally in the main courtyard could not be taken out, the maids in charge still gave Chai Ya the bedding used by the original owner.
Lin Zhiyi was finally able to lie down and rest for a while.
"Chai Ya, go boil the medicine."
Lin Zhiyi always liked to do things herself, but she was not feeling well at the moment, so it would be nice to have someone to help her.
"Miss, have you thought it through? Even though you are angry with your uncle, this child is also your child."
Chai Ya is not good at speaking and never knows how to persuade others, but she is afraid that Lin Zhiyi will regret it, so she still has to say a few words.
If the girl insists on aborting the child, she will make medicine.
If the girl regretted it, she would get some fetal medicine to help her recover.
Chai Ya stared at Lin Zhiyi, trying to make her change her mind.
Before Lin Zhiyi could answer, he heard the sound of someone kicking the door, followed by the sound of someone rushing in.
"Madam, I am under the orders of the old lady and the master..."
