Chapter 248 Zhou Qingdai's Miscarriage
Zhou Qingdai's pregnancy was stable and she had already announced it to the public. She returned to the Zhou family that day.
Wen Zimei didn't know that the people in the first house and the Wen family already knew what they had done behind the scenes, so they didn't welcome it from the bottom of their hearts.
Not only that, they also prepared other surprises for Zhou Qingdai.
"Mother, my pregnancy seems stable now. An experienced midwife checked my belly and said it's most likely a boy..."
Zhou Qingdai's words made Wen Zimei even happier.
"This is a good thing, but the better the news, the more low-key it should be. I can't stop your mother-in-law from announcing your pregnancy, but you shouldn't brag about the boy."
Zhou Qingdai knew that Wen Zimei had been cautious all his life, so she quickly agreed.
"Mother, my second uncle's family is still counting on you to find a good marriage for Zhou Qinzhu?"
"Of course not. These days, everyone in the royal family is being betrothed by the Empress. Zhou Qinzhu's mind is stirring, and her self-righteous nature has resurfaced. She thought she could marry the Third Prince, but your Second Aunt went to the palace and didn't bring any good news. She must have been rejected. Your aunt, who was able to stab Ye and Sheng in the back, naturally abandoned them when the Zhou family's morale was low and Zhou Qinzhu's reputation was damaged. She gave birth to a prince, not a nobleman you can find in Dizhou City."
From this, it is indeed impossible to tell that Wen Zimei has any feelings towards the second wife.
Zhou Qingdai sneered when she heard this. She had heard about the hatred from that year from her mother.
Originally, the title should have belonged to their eldest wife. If I were a man, what would the second wife have to do with it?
She said softly, "Mother is right. Zhou Qinzhu is used to flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak. She's always hypocritical and pretentious with everyone she meets. She refuses to say anything herself and always has to hint at things. Lu Wenxue fought for her before, but now that Lu Wenxue has fallen out with her, I'm afraid her brothers won't understand what she means. If she doesn't speak up, she'll probably suffocate. But, I'm still a little worried. What if she really doesn't want to give in and causes trouble? Wouldn't that implicate us?"
Wen Zimei gently patted the back of Zhou Qingdai's hand to comfort her. "Don't worry, your uncle and aunt are not fools. They know the current situation of the Zhou family. If Zhou Qinzhu really doesn't know her place, they will naturally discipline her. Besides, the Empress and your aunt are not to be trifled with. If Zhou Qinzhu really dares to act recklessly, they will take care of her."
Zhou Qingdai felt relieved when she heard this. Now that she had this child, her status in her husband's family was higher. She didn't want to be affected by Zhou Qinzhu, the idiot, anymore.
Wen Zimei patted Zhou Qingdai's hand and said, "Don't come back so often unless there's something important. You should take good care of your pregnancy and give birth to a grandson for your in-laws. Only then will your mother-in-law value you more in the future."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingdai said softly, "Now that my daughter is pregnant with another life and will soon become a mother, she will understand how much I have endured over the years. Only then could I, with the influence of the Second House, help you find such a good marriage. Mother, just rest assured. I will take good care of the baby and give birth to a healthy grandson for you."
Hearing this, Wen Zimei smiled with satisfaction. She patted the back of Zhou Qingdai's hand gently, her eyes full of kindness: "Okay, okay, I'm relieved that you think this way. Don't worry during your pregnancy, I'll take care of everything."
Wen Zimei asked Zhou Jizhi to come over and meet his sister.
Looking at Zhou Jizhi's submissive look, Wen Zimei knew that this child was a good choice and that his mother still had a way.
When this child grows up, he will definitely help his mother regain the Zhou family's title.
They didn't know that the Zhou family's title had been tied to the second branch since the day they adopted their child.
Even if Zhou Jia Dalang came back to life and let Wen Zimei give birth to a biological son, it would be useless.
Zhou Qingdai asked Zhou Jizhi several questions, and Zhou Jizhi could answer them fluently.
Zhou Qingdai was even more satisfied with this.
"Now that you are my mother's son, you are naturally my brother. If you need anything, just come and find my sister and brother-in-law."
While Zhou Qingdai was speaking, she handed the gift she had prepared to Zhou Jizhi.
Zhou Jizhi took it very carefully. He couldn't treat her as his own sister yet. It would take time.
When Zhou Qingdai left, she went to the front hall again to say goodbye to her second uncle and second aunt.
She also saw Zhou Qinzhu, who had been very low-key recently, and deliberately went forward to comfort her, "Cousin, why do you look unhappy? You have just come of age and are still very young. There is no need to rush into engagement. If there are any personnel changes in Dizhou City in the next few years, I will take advantage of these years to observe carefully. Maybe a more suitable man will appear for you, young master."
Zhou Qinzhu found this statement very ironic.
Doesn't it mean that no one wants you now, and you will only have a chance if there are new changes in a few years?
"Thank you for your concern, cousin. Qinzhu is indeed still young and wants to stay home with her father and mother for a few more years. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been indifferent at the flower viewing banquet that day."
Zhou Qinzhu's excuse made Zhou Qingdai want to laugh even more.
But she didn't expose it, but left with a victorious smile.
"Don't bother with her. If you're too arrogant, you'll have to pay the price for your actions."
Ye Lanxin comforted her daughter, but her expression could not be gentle.
"I know, and I can't wait to see what happens to her."
Not long after Zhou Qingdai left, several beggars suddenly rushed out in the downtown area, causing Zhou Qingdai's horse to lose control and rush to the other side like crazy. Fortunately, the driver was very skilled and reined in the horse before it hit the wall.
However, Zhou Qingdai suffered a huge impact in the carriage and blood appeared from her lower body.
When the news reached the Zhou family, Zhou Zhili and Ye Lanxin went to the backyard with "concern" and told Wen Zimei about it.
Wen Zimei was stunned at the time. How could her daughter have just started to enjoy happiness, but it turned out like this...
"Sister-in-law, let's hurry over. If Qingdai's in-laws think that we, her family, don't support her, they'll probably bully her..."
Ye Lanxin took the initiative to speak. After all, she and Wen Zimei had a good relationship during this period.
Wen Zimei was anxious and had no mood to analyze Ye Lanxin's emotions, so she took her directly to Zhou Qingdai's in-laws' home.
Zhou Qingdai was lying on the bed. The doctor had already examined her and kept shaking his head.
The child is definitely gone, but fortunately Zhou Qingdai is young and has a good physique. If she takes good care of herself, it won't be difficult for her to get pregnant again.
Wen Zhimei still couldn't accept this result, but Ye Lanxin beside her was very happy.
I let you abuse my daughter, now you can taste the feeling yourself.
