Jiujiu sat in the room and drank tea quietly.
Lin Wanxin's face was blue and purple. She looked terrible.
It was a coincidence.
The doctor who came today happened to be the one who treated Mrs. Li's leg yesterday. He got some benefits from Jiujiu yesterday. Today, Jiujiu asked him to feel Lin Wanxin's pulse. He wanted to do everything he could.
Lin Wanxin was indeed pregnant.
But it was only two months. Because the baby was not stable yet, Lin Wanxin wanted to wait four or five months before telling the duke.
But she didn't expect Jiujiu to expose it.
Thinking of those concubines who were eyeing her covetously in the backyard, Lin Wanxin was so angry that blue veins appeared on her forehead.
But facing Jiujiu's congratulations, Lin Wanxin could only bite the bullet and accept it. She couldn't express the anger in her heart.
Jiujiu didn't want to confront Lin Wanxin at all.
After she returned, she would move out directly. It was meaningless to make a scene before leaving. She originally wanted to annoy Lin Wanxin this time. As for Lin Wanxin's pregnancy, it was a complete accident.
However, thinking of Xiao Jiuniang's memory, she had given birth to a child, but Lin Wanxin's child hadn't been born.
It seemed that the baby couldn't be saved.
This time, he had only exposed the fact that Lin Wanxin was pregnant in advance.
After making Lin Wanxin suffer a loss, Jiujiu returned to the yard refreshed.
After lunch and a nap, Jiujiu lay on the soft chair and looked at the picture book. She was very comfortable.
However, Jiujiu didn't expect that Nie Lve would come back in the evening.
This time, Nie Lve didn't come back empty-handed. He carried a snack in his hand. Looking at the label, it seemed to be from Yi Pin House.
Yi Pin House was good at making snacks.
Jiujiu looked at Nie Lve in pleasant surprise and smiled as she said, "Thank you for your concern, husband."
In Xiao Jiuniang's memory, Nie Lve was a man who didn't go home. If she wasn't pregnant and had a child, she was no different from a widow. Jiujiu had already prepared for it.
Unexpectedly, Nie Lue would come back every few days. It was really a pleasant surprise.
Seeing Jiujiu's surprised expression, Nie Lve felt a little guilty.
Actually, the idea of buying pastries was not his idea. He had heard from his subordinates that all women liked to eat pastries, so he bought them in passing. He did not expect that Jiujiu would like them so much.
Nie Lve quietly heaved a sigh of relief. Only then did he feel at ease to wash up.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, but Nie Lve also bought a jujube cake.
However, the craftsmanship of Yi Pin Zhai was much better than that of Duke Zhen's Mansion. The jujube cake tasted sweet and sour in the mouth. It was very delicious.
After eating two pieces of Jiujiu, she stopped eating and asked Lianxin to keep the jujube cake.
She washed her hands with clean water, rinsed her mouth with tea, removed the pearl hairpin, and lay down on the bed to wait for Nie Lve.
Nie Lve gave the jujube cake to Jiujiu and went to the study. After hearing the steward say how Lin Wanxin bullied Jiujiu, Nie Lve's face darkened. He said meaningfully, "It's time to separate."
The steward's face turned cold. "Master, First Madam is pregnant. What about the baby?"
Nie Lve looked at the steward with a faint smile. "What do you think?"
The steward immediately lowered his eyes and said submissively, "This servant understands."
Everyone said that Duke Zhen was deeply in love with his second wife. A few years after his death, he passed away with his second wife. However, no one knew that Duke Zhen did not want to die. He did not want to die because he was poisoned.
Not only did the Duke not have any feelings for his second wife, but he also treated her as a tool to vent his anger. After Nie Lve was born, every time his second wife got pregnant, he would send someone to give her a bowl of abortion medicine.
When Nie Lve was young, he saw his mother lying on the bed with a pale face and crying silently more than once.
However, when she saw Nie Lve, his mother would wipe away her tears and smile at Nie Lve, telling him to treat his wife well in the future and not be like his father.
He had married her, but he did not cherish her and even kept hurting her.
However, it was not appropriate to say such words to a child like Nie Lve. His mother swallowed it back and silently endured it all.
However, she did not understand that the more she did not say it, the clearer Nie Lve remembered it. A few days after her death, Nie Lve found a way to kill his father, who was still Duke Zhen at that time.
As for Lin Wanxin.
Since she was Duke Zhen's favorite daughter-in-law, she would naturally lose as many children as his mother lost.
Since Nie Ce could not bear children, Lin Wanxin, his favorite daughter-in-law, would naturally pay for the father's debt.
He was very fair. Lin Wanxin would lose as many children as his mother lost. When the numbers were the same, he would let Lin Wanxin go.
After Nie Lve finished speaking with the steward, he read the letter for a while. When he returned to the room, his wife had already fallen asleep.
Her small face was as smooth as jade. Her pink mouth was slightly open, exuding a sweet breath. She looked very cute.
Thinking of the feeling of hugging Jiujiu to sleep last night, Nie Lve wrapped his long arms around her and hugged Jiujiu in his arms. He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep not long after.
The next day was the day they returned home.
Early in the morning, Nie Lve woke up Jiujiu.
After getting dressed and eating breakfast, the two of them sat in the carriage and returned to Xiao Residence.
After Xiao Zhen and Jiang Wanwan married off their daughter, Xiao Jiuniang, they acted as if she did not exist at home. When Jiujiu and Nie Lve came over, they seemed to wake up from a dream and remembered that they still had a daughter who was returning home today.
However, due to the fact that their daughter was not welcomed by the two of them, the expressions on their faces were not very good.
Even though Nie Lve already knew what kind of people his father-in-law and mother-in-law were, he still couldn't help but clench his fists when he saw how they spoke to Jiujiu.
When Nie Lve saw Xiao Zhen and Jiang Wanwan let Jiujiu and Nie Lve in with a benevolent expression, he grabbed Jiujiu's arm and expressionlessly looked at Xiao Zhen. "Since father-in-law has matters to attend to at home, this son-in-law will not disturb you any longer. Goodbye."
After Nie Lve finished speaking, he pulled Jiujiu's arm and sat in the carriage and left.
He went out to greet them, but the other party directly left. Xiao Zhen was so angry that his face turned ashen. If there weren't people watching outside, he would have cursed out loud.
As for Jiang Wanwan, she gritted her teeth and said, "As expected, he's a debt collector."
After the two of them cursed their daughter Jiujiu several hundred times in their hearts, they went back and continued to hug their son and call him their darling.
In their opinion, they had raised their daughter, Xiao Jiuniang, for more than ten years. Marrying her off could already be considered to have fulfilled their fate. As for the future, they would treat it as if they had never had a daughter like Xiao Jiuniang.
At that time, Nie Lve suppressed his anger and pulled Jiujiu into the carriage. When Jiujiu was in the carriage, Nie Lve thought of something.
He didn't know Xiao Zhen and Jiang Wanwan, but no matter what, they were the biological parents who raised Jiujiu. If he pulled her away, would she resent him?
For the first time, a guilty expression appeared on Nie Lve's face. His lips moved and he said, "Wife, just now, I was …"
Jiujiu turned her head and smiled at Nie Lve. "I know. Husband, you did it for my own good."
