Su Lun wore a blue gown embroidered dark lines, with an agate belt which demonstrated his status. He was more dignified than wearing the loose dark gown.
If Zhao had not repeated again and again that Muge was alive, he would have never entered this room.
It’s so unfortunate!
An wore a long dress to the ankle, lotus leaf colored with a pattern of moonlight in lotus pond, making her beautiful and elegant.
An was a little over thirty and took a good skin care, so her skin was smooth and delicate while that of Zhao was withered and yellow.
“Daddy, help me to plead my sister for forgiving me, please.”
Su Lun saw that his favorite daughter was crying heavily and his face clouded.
“Why are you blaming your little sister? It’s your own idea to play in the lotus pond and fell into water, is this your sister’s fault?”
Su Muge had already given up on her slag father, but she had not expected that he could be so partial to Su Jingwen.
She glanced at An and thought that An must be the accomplice and stirred up Su Lun a lot.
“Daddy, you are wrong, I was pushed into water by Su Jingwen, not myself.”
“What?” Su Lun frowned when he heard that.
Su Lun thought that Su Jingwen was a cute and lovely girl even though a little childish. But she could never do anything like that. Su Muge must do her wrong.
“Sister, why are you slandering me? Daddy, do help me, please. My sister is doing me wrong.”
Su Jingwen was surprised that Su Muge dared to say that, but she’s pretending to be sad.
Due to seeing Su Jingwen crying and being scared by Su Muge, Su Lun took back his little compassion to Muge and clouded. “Such a bastard, you dare to put your sister in the wrong, go to apologize to her!”
“Daddy, I don’t blame sister Muge. I’m happy that sister is OK.” Su Jingwen was full of grievances in the face, and her eyes were red and swollen because of crying, which made Su Lun’s heart ache.
“She dares to bully you in front of me, not to mention in daily life, moreover, you say she is a gentle girl! Kneel down to apologize to Jingwen!”
Su Muge’s eyes were down a bit, hiding the coldness in the eyes.
How could he say to let her to kneel down to Su Jingwen?
“My lord, don’t be so angry, I will kneel down and apologize to the second Miss...”
At this moment, Zhao entered the room wearing a plain white dress and said. Her eyes were swollen like two walnuts because of crying all day yesterday for Muge’s suffering. Her face was yellow and pale, which lowered her appearance and temperament. Comparing with An, she was so ugly.
Su Muge sighed and thought Zhao needed to be guided.
Zhao was to kneel to Su Jingwen, but Muge stopped her.
“Mom. You are a senior, if you kneel down to her, she will shorten one's life by over-indulgence!”
Su Jingwen stopped pretending to be aggrieved when hearing that and said, “What are you saying!”
“Moreover, my mother has been pregnant with your child, daddy, you can’t let her kneel down!”
In the past, Zhao and Muge often knelt down to An and Su Jingwen who enjoyed the superiority to see them kneeling down lowly, which others couldn’t understand if they had not accepted.
Even though Su Muge was the truth-born daughter, she had to beg for pity under An and Su Jingwen’s feet!
Hearing what Muge said, Su Lun glanced at Zhao’s stomach. Su Lun didn’t go to Zhao’s room after he had An, however, one time, he drank a lot from outside in good mood and saw Zhao who was begging An to invite a doctor to see Muge.
Even though Zhao was skinny, she still had beautiful facial features, and she was so attractive under the hazy moonlight that Su Lun had sex with her that night. Then Zhao was pregnant.
“Mumu, I...” Zhao looked at Muge worriedly. In daily life, they dared not to enrage An and her daughter, because Su Lun always believed in them unconditionally and hated Zhao and Muge more and more.
Muge looked at Su Jingwen and said, “You say I fell into water by myself accidentally and your maids can prove that, right?”
“Yes, all the maids who were there can prove!”
Su Muge smiled and turned to Su Lun and said, “Why you believe in Su Jingwen but not me?”
It provoked Su Lun that Zhao was to kneel down to Su Jingwen. Even though he didn’t like Zhao and he didn’t treat them as human, she was his original wife and he thought that Su Jingwen looked down on him for bullying her blatantly. Maybe it’s because he had a low birth, he was inferior subconsciously.“How can you prove that your little sister drowned you intentionally?”“Daddy, maybe you don’t know I can swim from childhood. I can swim in big rivers, let alone the little lotus pond?”“Nonsense, you can’t swim at all!” Su Jingwen was anxious when hearing that.“Daddy, if you don’t believe I can swim, I can prove it.”Zhao thought this Muge was so strange and she was so different from the before.Su Lun thought Muge had no reason to lie. He frowned and turned to Su Jingwen, now he thought she lied.He knew that An and her daughter always didn’t like Zhao and Muge, but he thought
“You, you are chopping the logic!”Su Lun pointed at Su Muge with a shivering hand, and his eyes were fierce, as if he would eat her.“You don’t care about whether I was pushed by Su Jingwen into water and almost died. You only care about her. She just takes a little punishment, and your heart, liver, spleen and lung all ache, right? So that is what it is, I’m lower than a servant in your heart!”He did!An was to cry out when she saw Su Jingwen almost choked to faint.They were all astonished that Muge became so eloquent after dying one time.“You, how could it possible that I do not to care whether you live or die!” Even thought he was, he couldn’t speak out.Some fellow official accused him behind his back when he abandoned Zhao and married An. If they knew he didn’t care about the life of his original wife and truth-born daughter, he would get a bad reputation.“I just think y
Su Jingwen was choked with some water, and when she was lifted to Orchid Courtyard, she had fainted.An loved her daughter best and she was heartbroken when seeing that.“My lord, if something bad were to happen to Wen, I will die with her.” Su Lun was also worried about Su Jingwen.“Don’t worry, Wen will be OK.”The doctor came soon and felt the pulse for Su Jingwen.“Doctor, how’s my daughter?”The old doctor stood up and said, “My lord and madam, don't worry. The lady is just choked and scared. It's OK after taking the medicine for two days.”“Thank you, doctor.” An winked at Li Mama, an old maid of An, and Li gave a pouch having some money in to the doctor.“I will walk you out.”“Good bye.”Su Jingwen woke up after taking some medicine.Her eyes were red with blood because of congestion.“Mom, I will kill her,
The labor pain became more intense after Zhao eating some sugar porridge.Su Muge took a look at Zhao’s private part. The cervix had opened two centimeters. “Mom, hang on, the cervix is to open.”Zhao was healthy generally, but she had been bullied by An for many years, which harmed her health to some extent, and she went into labor early. She was dizzy but she made all her efforts to keep a clear mind. She had no energy to think why Muge knew a lot about labor.Su Muge sent Yueru to collect all she needed, at the same time, the cervix was open fully.“Mom, listen to me, breathe in and breathe out, try hard!”Zhao grasped the quilt and obeyed Muge unconsciously.Zhao had given birth to a child and this was her second labor. It should have been smooth. However, it’s been a long time, there was no more progress.Meihua and other maids were too young to know the childbirth things, and they were a
“Congratulations, my lord, Madam Zhao has given birth to a boy.”Su Lun was back from drinking, and everyone congratulated him on having a son. He was so excited that he treated the maids of Peachblosoom Courtyard better.He was in his thirties and expected a son for a long time, so he was so excited to see the baby.An followed Su Lun and she forced herself to smile, pinching Li Mama with her sharp fingernails so heavily that Li was frown for the pain.She really gave birth to a baby, and it’s a boy!“Congratulations, my lord, heaven is blessing you.”“It’s right, my lord. Madam An prayed for Madam Zhao in the temple in the daytime, and Madam Zhao gave birth to a boy in the evening.”Su Lun looked at An gently. “You are so kind.”An glanced at the yard and said, “My lord, the young master is precious and he should be taken good care of, but Zhao is so weak after a labor that she
“I want to strangle that bastard!”“Peng!” An pounded on the pear wooden table heavily.“Oh, my Madam. What are you doing? It will hurt yourself.”“Why didn’t she go to die!” An was so furious, up and down in the chest. For many years, she designed numbers of methods for killing Zhao and Muge, but she didn’t put into practice. The reason why she permitted Zhao being pregnant many months was because she was intended to make Zhao and her fetus both die and no one can suspect her. “Relax, my Madam. Now the baby is here. What are you worrying about?”“That bastard? You think I should bring up him? Don’t forget, he is Zhao’s son and with her blood, that bitch!”Li Mama understood that An had a higher birth than Zhao who was humble and An looked down on Zhao. However, An couldn’t give birth to a boy.But Li couldn’t say that out.“Madam, the young master is a treasure of the lord and n
“Madam, Chunju is kneeling in the yard. She said the eldest Miss was to drive her out of the mansion. She begged you to save her.” Li Mama opened the curtain and walked into the room, whispered to An.An was upset about Su Wenmo’s ceaseless crying. Su Wenmo was the name of Zhao’s son. And Su Lun gave the name to him.The baby had been always crying since he was sent here. An was so angry that she wanted to throw him into a well.Chunju was a spy that An placed around Zhao in those years. It wasn’t strange that she came here now. “What’s wrong with her? Just because she couldn’t call a doctor, Su Muge then drove her out of the mansion?”“I heard it’s because...” Li Mama told An the sequence of events about Muge’s grandmother—Zhang.Hearing that, An became calm.“Now that she made such a big mistake, isn’t driving her out a bit too easy? You know what I mean, Li Mama.”Li Mama knew
“Why?”“Mom, don’t worry. Nancheng prefecture is close to Shunyang prefecture. I will be back ten days later.”“But I will worry about you.”“There is no need to worry. I will go along the official road and I have bodyguards. I’ll be safe.”Zhao worried about Muge, but she saw Muge was determined and she was concerned about Zhang, so she said yes finally. “You are away from home. Promise me to be very careful.”“Mom, take it easy. I’ll be OK.”Before she left, Muge enjoined Yueru on many things.“The eldest Miss, I’ll remember.”Su Lun was told that Muge would go to Nancheng prefecture. It’s rare that he kindly arranged a carriage, three bodyguards and one driver for Muge.“You are a young lady. Why don’t you bring some maids when you go out?” Su Lun noticed that there was no one around Su Muge and frowned.She was his daughter who was born
