Shi Juncai told Mo Shujun directly, “She is carrying my baby now.”

 

“What?”

 

Mo Shujun was petrified this time, and even Leng Yan looked shocked and glared at Shi Juncai in disbelief.

 

Mo Shujun came to her senses soon. Seeing that, she thought that Shi Juncai talked nonsense, so she raised her hand, trying to beat him again.

 

Shi Juncai wasn’t afraid but craned his neck. “If you don’t believe me, you can ask her if her menstruation stops for two months. I have calculated the dates last time…”

 

Mo Shujun was stunned.

 

She didn’t know if she should be surprised as a man knew a woman’s privacy, the menstruation or sigh because Shi Juncai could take the opportunity.

 

After quite a while, Mo Shujun came back to reality gradually and turned to Leng Yan. The maid also looked scared yet didn’t deny Shi Juncai’s words.

 

It meant…

 

Seeing that his master card worked, Shi Juncai got complacent and continued to brag, “Look. I have said that I am capable.”

 

Then he looked Leng Yan up and down with his picky eyes and said excitedly yet with contempt, “This woman’s womb is disappointing. Otherwise, she should have got pregnant earlier. Fortunately, I worked harder later…”

 

Hearing Shi Juncai’s impudent remarks, Mo Shujun blushed even though she was experienced and aged. She couldn’t help but rebuke, “Why are you complacent? You got her pregnant in silence, and fortunately, I have known that now. Otherwise, when her belly is prominent, what will you do to deal with it? Then it is uncertain if the baby can be kept, let alone marrying her to your brother.”

 

At the moment, Shi Juncai started to feel scared and asked nervously, “What, what should I do? Mother, figure out a way now! This is my baby, your grandchild!”

 

“Well, don’t be nervous. I am pondering.”

 

Mo Shujun’s face darkened, and it appeared that she was pondering. After a long while, she said unhurriedly, “Her belly won’t be prominent until the third month of gestation. We just need to tell your brother to marry her and sleep with her before then. When the baby is born, we can say that it’s premature labor…”

 

The mother and son discussed it and made a plan, feeling satisfied.

 

They didn’t consider that Leng Yan was present who was the topic of their talk. They talked casually, as if she was a commodity that could be handled by them. She didn’t even have the right to express her will, let alone the autonomy.

 

After the mother and son finished their discussion, Shi Juncai leered at Leng Yan who sat on the bed on her knees. She was dressed in messy clothes after being humiliated, so he got excited again and smiled at Mo Shujun shamelessly. “Mother, it’s late now. Will you go back to sleep?”

 

After she went away and the door was closed, he could continue.

 

At the thought of the passion in bed, Shi Juncai almost watered, ignoring that a pregnant woman couldn’t have sex in the first three months.

 

Mo Shujun could certainly guess Shi Juncai’s lust. Since she was determined to tell Shi Junhe to marry Leng Yan, she couldn’t let Shi Juncai ruin the plan at the crucial time.

 

“Control yourself. Before she gets married and goes to the East House, you can’t cause trouble.” Mo Shujun pinched Shi Juncai, preparing to walk out.

 

Before leaving, she glared at Leng Yan warningly. “Be well-behaved. If something like this happens again, I won’t spare you.”

 

After speaking, she didn’t care about Shi Juncai’s miserable scream and directly took him away.

 

The room returned silent.

 

The little maid Rou’er was worried involuntarily as she saw that Leng Yan dressed in thin clothes sat on the bed and remained unmoved for a long time.

 

“Yan, you are pregnant now and should be careful. Don’t get a cold.”

 

When Rou’er took out the brocade quilt and was about to cover Leng Yan with it, the latter seemed frightened and shrank back crazily. She cried wildly, “Take it away. Take it away! Don’t let something so dirty get close to me. Get out…”

 

Rou’er was terrified and then saw that Leng Yan curled up and hid at the end of the bed, refusing to get out.

 

“Okay, okay. I am going to get a new quilt for you.” Rou’er was afraid that she would irritate Leng Yan, so she had to run to her bed and bring her quilt for Leng Yan which was worse. “This, this is my quilt. It’s clean. Don’t take a dislike to it…”

 

In fact, Leng Yan was so cold that she stiffened, but she still couldn’t stop feeling disgusted as Shi Juncai touched her. Now Rou’er gave her a clean quilt. Although she disliked it a lot at ordinary times, she didn’t care about anything and rushed over to cover herself with that quilt.

 

It seemed that only in this way could she feel safe.

 

Seeing Leng Yan’s reactions, Rou’er felt sad and comforted her clumsily. “Yan, are you okay? Shall I make a bowl of ginger soup for you?”

 

Leng Yan trembled and curled up at the foot of the bed, and her eyes fell on the corner with no focus seemingly. She was out of sorts.

 

She didn’t answer or react, like a fool.

 

After a long time, a sobbing voice came into Leng Yan’s blank brain indistinctly.

 

She looked up, to see that Rou’er with tearful eyes sat next to her and looked pitiful. It seemed that the person who had been bullied and insulted was Rou’er.

 

“Why are you crying? The one who was bullied is not you but me.” Leng Yan rolled her eyes at Rou’er crossly.

 

Rou’er hurriedly wiped her tears and looked at Leng Yan with her red and swollen eyes, saying in a muffled voice, “I think you don’t deserve it. You were forced. How could Princess Royal comment on you like that? And the third master has…”

 

Leng Yan glanced at Rou’er with her sharp eyes, and the latter swallowed what she was going to say, responding vaguely, “I just think that they treat you badly.”

 

“What is good or bad? In their eyes, we are just dogs raised by them. It is fine to give a dog food to raise it. Then we should be loyal to them. Otherwise, they would kill us at any time!” Leng Yan’s eyes were cold, with terrifying resentment.

 

Rou’er was scared by Leng Yan’s resentful eyes and shrank her neck subconsciously. Then she started to quiver again.

 

However, Leng Yan didn’t look gloomy anymore and began to laugh all of a sudden. She raised her cold and pale fingers and caressed Rou’er’s face back and forth.

 

Till Rou’er trembled in fear, Leng Yan asked with satisfaction, “Why are you frightened? You are my dowery given by Princess Royal. As long as I live a good life, I will provide you with good food and won’t treat you badly. Do you understand?”

 

“Yes, I understand. I am your maid. I don’t dare to…” Rou’er was so terrified that she couldn’t speak fluently.

 

Leng Yan didn’t force Rou’er to say something nice and just waved her hand, ordering coldly, “Well. Clean this bed for me first. I am going to bed.”

 

With that, she ignored the other party and covered herself with Rou’er’s quilt, going to this little maid’s bed.

 

Rou’er didn’t dare to protest and quickly cleaned up everything. Then she turned around and stated, “Yan, the bed has been cleaned. You can sleep now.”

 

Leng Yan looked up at her bed and felt disgusted again as she remembered that Shi Juncai acted willfully on top of her, which made her almost throw up. She didn’t even want to glance at that bed, let alone going back to sleep.

 

She wanted to set fire and burn that bed.

 

But she couldn’t. If she burnt the bed now, Mo Shujun would surely ask her, and then she couldn’t hide her thought from that old shrewd lady.

 

If the old lady knew that Leng Yan disliked her beloved son so much, this maid would suffer a lot.

 

So she had to endure it.

 

After waiting a moment, Rou’er saw that Leng Yan didn’t speak, so she had to call again, “Yan?”

 

“Well, you have taken good care of me today, so I will give my bed to you as a reward.” Leng Yan temporized and occupied Rou’er’s bed, making an arrangement forcefully. “I will sleep on this bed from now on!”

 

Rou’er was used to her bed and was unwilling, but facing Leng Yan’s impatient face, she didn’t dare to say anything. Then she obediently switched the things on their beds.

 

After she cleaned up, Rou’er saw that Leng Yan still leaned against the head of the bed with her blank eyes and dumbfounded face.

 

Then she walked to Leng Yan and asked worriedly, “Yan, are you really all right?”

 

Leng Yan suddenly awakened and sat up. Noticing that it was Rou’er, she was relieved yet got angry.

 

She was furious and pounded Rou’er’s shoulder heavily.

 

Then she cursed, “Bad girl, do you want to scare me to death?”

 

Rou’er was beaten yet didn’t dare to scream in pain. She was obedient and explained cautiously after Leng Yan vented her anger, “Yan, don’t be mad. I am just afraid that there is something wrong with you, so I want to show my concern for you.”

 

Leng Yan didn’t believe her words and even laughed with sarcasm, snorting maliciously. “Stop pleasing me insincerely. I feel disgusted after seeing that. We were servants, and I have taught you most of the things that you know now. Do you still want to cheat me?”

 

Leng Yan was fed up with flattering Mo Shujun all day long and still had to look at the same face. She just felt disgusted.

 

Rou’er looked grieved and defended herself in a low voice. “Yan, you get me wrong. I am really worried about you. You said that I am your maid. If something bad happens to you, I will suffer a lot, too!”

 

It was necessary to say that Rou’er looked weak and cowardly, but she came to the point as she said that.

 

Leng Yan didn’t believe in the kinship or friendship or kind concern. Only the profit was the most reliable. Rou’er pointed out the fact that they were in the same boat, and it relieved Leng Yan a lot.

 

Right, Rou’er belonged to her and wouldn’t betray her.

 

At this thought, Leng Yan finally showed a gracious face to Rou’er and even patted the bedside. “Fine. I know that you really care about me. You are tired after working for one night. Just sleep on this bed. We haven’t talked heartily for a long time.”

 

Rou’er was scared by Leng Yan’s changeable emotions today and was afraid that she would go crazy once more. However, she couldn’t restrain her desire for her bed, so she neatly went to her bed and lay well.

 

After a while, she turned away and saw that Leng Yan still stared at the ceiling with her eyes widening and looked serious, so she turned over secretly and asked in a low voice, “Yan, are you still thinking about the matter that Princess Royal would marry you to the first master?”

 

Perhaps Leng Yan was depressed as she swallowed her annoyance, and she didn’t rebuke Rou’er as the latter meddled. Instead, she muttered, “Rou’er, what do you think I should do? They made a plan so easily, but once there is something wrong, I will die!”

 

It was pathetic that Mo Shujun and the others didn’t care about her life or death, and they were just worried about the unborn baby in her womb.

 

A human life was so worthless.

 

Rou’er also thought this plan was dangerous.

 

Now Leng Yan was pregnant for more than two months, and even if she could get married soon, the fetus was three months older. If things went on smoothly, they might deceive everybody, but if there was an accident…

 

For example, Shi Junhe felt something wrong and found another doctor to feel her pulse or Leng Yan really had premature labor by accident…

 

There were so many accidents. If there was a problem in no matter which period, Leng Yan would be doomed eternally.

 

Hearing Rou’er’s words, Leng Yan felt sad. She certainly knew that.

 

However…

 

“What can I do? Our lives are in the hands of our masters. If we protest, we would only die!”

 

Rou’er stuttered for quite a while with difficulty and then suddenly had a brainwave. She suggested joyfully, “Yan, how about we go to see the first master tomorrow and tell him the truth. He is kind and would surely save our lives!”
