Chapter 512: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (51)
The original owner thought that her life would be like this. She had already prepared herself mentally, waiting for her uncle Cao Ce to go to the war, and then she would be sent to the villa again.
However, fate is always full of drama. No one had expected that the young lady Xie Wanru would give birth prematurely due to an accident.
Although strictly speaking, there were still three months before the due date, the delivery process was unusually quick and Xie Wanru gave birth to a stillborn baby.
Xie Wanru and Cao Shixun had been married for five years, and this child was undoubtedly extremely precious to them. Unfortunately, the child died at birth, which was very sad.
However, the story does not end there.
Not long after, some different voices were heard in the Cao Mansion: "Auntie was able to get pregnant in one try, but Young Madam took five years to get pregnant, and Auntie's child was aborted by someone close to Young Madam. This is really retribution!"
These rumors swept in like a storm, plunging the entire Cao Mansion into a sea of rumors.
People were talking about this matter, full of speculation and accusations against Xie Wanru and the people around her.
The originally sad atmosphere was gradually covered up by all kinds of rumors, and what the truth is, perhaps only the parties involved know best.
The original owner, who was at the center of the storm, did not change much. She did not even tell her uncle Cao Ce that she was forced to drink the abortion pill.
Nowadays, war requires not only people but also money. The Su family is no longer the money bag of the Cao family, but the Xie family is now the real supporter behind the Cao family. Should she expect an "uncle" whom she has only met a few times to support her?
Even if Cao Ce told the original owner that he would punish those people, she would not believe it.
The days living in Cao's house were not completely without fun. Occasionally, you could laugh at other people's jokes. For example, Xie Wanru's child was actually lost because of her own fault. She was seven months old and had to wear high heels, so she fell directly down the stairs.
And according to the gossip spread by the servants: Xie Wanru was injured this time, and it will be more difficult for her to have children in the future.
It's really the law of nature that retribution comes!
The original owner knew that her mother-in-law Wu Wenyue didn't like her, so when her health had recovered, she took the initiative to move back to the villa. She was less than seventeen years old that year.
"You can move back. My daughter-in-law doesn't want to see you anyway." When there was no one else around, Wu Wenyue didn't even want to pretend her disgust for the original owner.
The original owner nodded and went back to his room to pack his things, preparing to leave Cao's house the next day.
"Aunt, my wife asked me to bring you a cup of tea." Cui Qiao gently opened the door and walked into the original owner's room. "My wife said that this is a rare and good thing. As long as you drink it, you can go back to the villa tomorrow."
The original owner's eyes fell on the cup in Cuiqiao's hand, and a feeling of grief and anger surged in his heart.
She suddenly realized: the last accident was probably not accidental, it was caused by Wu Wenyue's trickery behind the scenes.
With eyes wide open and red rims, the original owner stared at the cup of tea and could not drink it no matter what.
However, Cuiqiao persuaded her, "Aunt, since you have become the young master's woman, it is only natural for you to serve him.
Drink this cup of tea and at least you won't suffer.
Besides, the young lady is already in this state now. It would be a great thing if you could have a child!
Drink this tea quickly! This is the love that the Madam shows you. Otherwise, there are many women who would climb into the young master's bed."
The original owner knew that she had no choice. Although Cuiqiao was the only one at the door, she could clearly see several shadows illuminated by the light behind her, although she did not see anyone.
But if she dared to refuse, the strict old maids would immediately rush out and force the cup of tea into her mouth.
The result is always the same, he takes the tea with a slight tremor and drinks it all in one gulp.
Not long after, the familiar feeling of dizziness came again, and when the original owner regained consciousness, it was already the next morning.
This time, the original owner woke up later than Cao Shixun, and he had already left the room.
Just as agreed yesterday, the original owner can finally return to the villa to live, but this time she is accompanied by Wu Wenyue's nanny, who will inform her if the original owner becomes pregnant.
I don’t know if it was the effect of the tea or the original owner’s physique that made it easy for her to get pregnant, but in the second month of living in the villa, it was finally confirmed that she was pregnant again. At this time, she had just turned seventeen.
In fact, the doctor had already taken my pulse in the first month, but it was still too short and they were not completely sure.
When Wu Wenyue heard the news that the original owner was pregnant, she was both happy and indignant.
She was very happy that her son had a child, but she felt extremely uncomfortable because the child would come from her aunt Cao Wanning's daughter's belly.
If there was any other way, Wu Wenyue would not resort to this desperate measure, but is there any other way?
It turns out that Cao Shixun, like his father Cao Ce, also had many women, but he didn't bring back many. The most important thing is that so far only the original owner and his wife Xie Wanru have been pregnant.
