"Aunt Zhou, it's really hard to describe in words!"
Facing Zhou Yao's question, Bai He slowly sat on the bed, holding his belly.
"At this time, I truly understand your original mood..."
"How...how did I feel at the beginning?" Zhou Yao was puzzled, "When did I feel like that?"
"That's why you were willing to disobey the old lady's request and even drag the uncle to live outside in order to save the child!"
Zhou Yao looked at Bai He in surprise, "You..."
She then looked at her hand covering her belly, and she probably understood a little bit.
"Your child, could it be..." Zhou Yao's eyes flashed, "Is it because the Second Madam didn't let you keep this child?"
The only person who can do this is the second wife as the principal wife, right?
I heard that the day Qin Wan got married, she immediately disliked Bai He.
On their wedding night, Bai He had a big quarrel with the second master because of their relationship, which directly alerted the old lady to mediate between the couple.
"How could the Second Madam do this to you?"
Zhou Yao said indignantly, "Bai He, although the second lady is the old lady's niece, you were once the most powerful person around the old lady. Have you ever told the old lady to make the decision for you?"
"After all, you are pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Chen family, the second master's child. If such a big thing happens, it is impossible for the old lady to ignore it!"
After hearing what Zhou Yao said, Bai He shook his head in pain.
"Aunt Zhou, this was not done by the Second Madam..."
"Not the second lady?" Zhou Yao was stunned.
Besides Qin Wan, who else doesn't want this child to be born?
She couldn't figure it out.
It was Bai He who resisted the dizziness and smiled miserably, "Aunt Zhou, the person who can't tolerate you the most in this house can't tolerate me either!"
"How can I keep my child if I want to?"
"...How is that possible?"
Zhou Yao was surprised by what Bai He said.
"I don't understand this. The old lady didn't want me to keep the child because my background was not good."
"But you and Biyu are both maids of the Chen family. Why can Biyu be pregnant with the uncle's child, but you can't be pregnant with the second uncle's child?"
Zhou Yao really couldn't understand this matter.
"This is the biggest difference between me and Biyu," Bai He gritted his teeth and said, "She gave birth to a child in a family with parents, while I was just a girl who was bought..."
There is another most important reason that Bai He did not mention.
She didn't say anything, firstly to cover up her ugliness, and secondly because she wanted to win Zhou Yao into her camp and there was no need to let her know that she had too many tricks up her sleeve.
After the old lady asked Wen's mother to prepare the abortion pill, she watched Bai He drink it.
Bai He tried his best to beg the old lady, but the old lady was determined not to let her keep the child.
"Old madam, I beg you, the second master has great expectations for this child, so the child must not make any mistakes!"
"You also know that Kang'er has great expectations for this child, so you can't bear to fool him like this?"
"Old madam, I did not fool the second master. This child is indeed the second master's, that's right!" Bai He explained.
"If you still refuse to repent, then you won't be able to keep the child." The old lady looked coldly at the steaming medicine bowl in Wen's mother's hand.
"Old Madam," Bai He cried with snot and tears, "I don't understand. Biyu is obviously pregnant with my uncle's flesh and blood. Why did you give her a yard and send people to take care of her to raise the baby..."
"Why did everything change when I came here, slave?"
"Old madam," Bai He wiped away his tears, "I have grown up beside you, and like Biyu, I am the first-class girl you value most."
"Why are you so kind to Biyu... instead of asking me to abort the child?"
"Just because Biyu and An'er were innocent when they were together, and you and Butler Qin didn't know about it for so long, I just turned a blind eye, but you are still here.
"
Anger rose on the old lady's face, "What qualifications do you have to climb into Kang'er's bed? You even want to take the opportunity to give birth to an unknown child. You are so ambitious!"
"Old lady..."
Bai He also wanted to clear the name of the child in her belly, but the old lady was determined not to let her keep the child. No matter how she said it or how to ensure that this was Chen Shaokang's child, the old lady would not change her mind at all.
As a last resort, Bai He could only drink a bowl of bitter medicine in front of the old lady, Wen Ma, and Zhao Ma.
That night, she tossed and turned in bed and had a miscarriage.
Chen Shaokang, who was originally overjoyed, found it difficult to accept the news.
Chen Shaokang was originally quite happy that Bai He had a child.
While having a child and winning the imperial examination, he was blessed with double happiness. He rarely went to the brothel and only guarded Bai He.
However, after Bai He lost his child, he was in a bad mood and began to go to brothels to get drunk again.
He and Bai He were also greedy for temporary pleasure, and after he won the election, Qin Wan took charge of Zhongfu again. With abundant money, he took the money to go to a brothel with bigger and better expenses.
If you are generous with your money in the brothel, more and more girls will throw themselves at you.
Under such circumstances, when Chen Shaokang came back to see Bai He again, he no longer had the curiosity that he had at the beginning, and gradually became bored.
Bai He's identity became embarrassing.
Aunt is not an aunt, a girl is not a girl, even if she has no children, she still has to serve Qin Wan.
When the tea is cold or hot, Qin Wan always scolds her.
In the end, Qin Wan didn't want to see her, so she kicked her out of the yard and moved to a low-class servant's room.
Sitting in a dilapidated room, I felt miserable thinking that I had no children and was being ignored by my second master.
Then she thought of Biyu's steady rise, and then thought that her own destiny had become bumpy, all because of the stolen jade Buddha, and she hated Biyu even more.
After learning that Zhou Yao's Magnolia Garden was sealed by the old lady, Bai He knew that Zhou Yao would definitely hate Biyu, so he waited on the road in advance.
Since she is having a hard time, naturally Biyu can't have a good time.
In order to thank Zhou Yao for helping him, Bai He said, "Aunt Zhou, I originally wanted to keep this secret until my death."
"But I'm really not willing to accept that you are kept in the dark about everything just like me..."
Zhou Yao gradually opened her eyes as she listened to Bai He's words.
"Are you telling the truth? Biyu's child is not the uncle's child?"
Bai He nodded, "It's absolutely true. I know who my biological father is and where he lives. If Aunt Zhou needs it, I can help you..."
"Haha!" After hearing the news, Zhou Yao laughed heartily.
There is no Magnolia Garden or anything, it is no longer important.
When I returned to the Southwest Courtyard and saw Biyu, there was more contempt in her eyes.
The old lady always prided herself on how rigorously she managed the Chen family, but now it seems that no one in their family lives as magnanimously as a brothel girl like her.
This family uses despicable methods to give birth to children. How can it be worse than a brothel?
"Old madam, old madam," Zhou Yao smiled, "I look forward to the day when you know the truth!"
