126 Yun Niang
Seeing Fang Liu and the others’ shocked expressions, Mrs. Song kindly continued to explain, “Although there have been many pregnant women over the years, only Yuan Niang gave birth safely.
“Therefore, the general has spent a lot of effort in order to continue the family line!”
Although she had been speaking up for Gao Xuwei from the beginning to the end, it was obvious that there was disdain in Mrs. Song’s eyes.
“Then, how many rooms are there since so many women entered the general’s residence?!” Fang Liu was shocked once again before she even calmed down from the previous shocking news. Then, she blinked and subconsciously sighed.
After saying that, she realized that this sentence was inappropriate. Fang Liu’s face turned red from embarrassment, but Mrs. Song didn’t care too much about this. She only smiled and explained to Fang Liu, “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. These women are like the general’s children. They always disappear quickly in the backyard.”
If what she said just now was shocking, then what she said now was enough to make everyone present shiver in fear!
So many girls had disappeared after entering the General’s Mansion. How many lives had been lost?!
“Do you guys understand now?! Everyone says that the general has no children because he has killed too many people!
However, in a place like the General’s Mansion, if one wasn’t ruthless, they wouldn’t be able to survive!
Yuan Niang is an exception! She has a gentle personality and never competes with others. In addition, she has always been in poor health, so she barely survived until now!”
At the mention of the General’s Mansion, Mrs. Song couldn’t help but shake her head.
It was really too difficult to survive there. It could be said that every step was on the tip of the knife!
“Don’t be so kind this time! Mrs. He is determined to let her daughter climb up the social ladder.
Even if you tell her these things, she definitely won’t believe a word you say!
Instead, they’ll think that you’re interfering and don’t want her life to get better.”
Fang Liu couldn’t help but feel a little anxious when she saw that Mrs. Luo had her eyes lowered and was only listening without speaking.
Her mother-in-law was good in every way, but sometimes, she was too kind! For example, she clearly knew that Mrs. He and the others definitely wouldn’t listen to her, but she couldn’t help but dissuade them!
“I know. I won’t do so anymore.” Mrs. Luo nodded and sighed softly. “Actually… Sigh, there’s no choice. They’re too obsessed with climbing up the social ladder. They probably won’t turn back no matter what…”
Everyone stayed by the bonfire and chatted for a while before going back to rest.
Nothing bad happened the entire night, but early the next morning, Qian He brought a lot of things over. A large portion of them were all kinds of herbs and supplements that Yuan Niang brought. Of course, the jewelry that Yuan Niang had left in the tent was also packed and sent over.
At the same time, Qian He didn’t forget to instruct everyone present that the safety of the mother and daughter was in Mr. Pei’s hands! No one should disturb their recuperation, including General Gao, who had chased his own flesh and blood out of the tent.
In other words, Lin Suisui and the others only had to listen to Pei Qian’s arrangements and instructions now. They could deal with the others as they pleased. If anything happened, Pei Qian would take responsibility!
Compared to the supplements that were sent over, this order was the most important to them now!
This way, even if someone came to cause trouble later, they could beat them up!
“I’m actually not surprised that he would do this.” Yuan Niang lay in the ox cart. Although the environment here was much worse than that of the previous tent, she looked much healthier than before.
She was talking to Lin Suisui, who was sitting at the door of the carriage with her.
“With my current situation, I’m already worthless to him! Since I’m worthless, of course he’d kick me to the curb.
However, I didn’t expect him to not even take An’er to heart.”
Although she already knew that Gao Xuwei wouldn’t take this newborn daughter to heart, it was impossible for the woman not to be sad when she really saw it.
However, her sadness wasn’t out of pity for herself, but out of heartache for An’er, who was sleeping soundly beside her.
This child was destined to be fatherless right after birth!
She felt pity and regret for her daughter.
“Since you expected this long ago, there’s nothing to be sad about.” Lin Suisui swayed her calf gently as she looked at Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Song, who were discussing what ingredients to add to the soup. If they ignored the commotion outside the tent, the scene in front of them would seem peaceful and harmonious.
However, no one could hide in this tent for the rest of their lives. No matter if it was wind or snow, even if the sky was raining knives, they had to go out and face it!
“Why don’t you think about how you’re going to live the rest of your life after leaving the general’s residence?! An’er already has no father. As his mother, you have to support him!
Didn’t you say that you have a brother?! Also, your parents are still alive now, right? Perhaps when the matter stabilizes, you can go back and look for them?!”
Lin Suisui’s words were a little probing.
Actually, from what she had heard from Yuan Niang previously, she felt that Yuan Niang’s father and mother were a little unreliable. She might as well clarify things this time and see what Yuan Niang was thinking.
“I’m not going back! From the day they sold me into the General’s Mansion for two hundred taels of silver, I no longer had a family!
Sister Gui, who lived with me in the residence at that time, was right. If those people could sell us once, they could sell us a second time and a third time! While we were struggling to survive in the residence, what was my family doing?!
They were using my hard-earned money to enjoy themselves outside!
Sister Gui had also been sold for two hundred taels by her family, but her parents had at least given her another fifty taels so that she could have something to rely on in the residence.
But my parents, although they were crying and shouting that they couldn’t bear to leave, after taking the money, didn’t they still use it to find a wife for my brother?! In the end, they didn’t even give me a single tael of silver!
“After that, they didn’t think of me anymore. On the other hand, when I was pregnant, they finally acted like they remembered that I was their daughter and their sister again!”
