Demon Hairpin II: My wayward Ex-wife

Chapter 22

"Sit. Don't get up.
"But.
"You're pregnant. Sit." He commanded. Within his
words was an imposing aura that could not be
disobeyed.
Mu Huanqing immediately felt displeasure
radiating from Fu Yanlin's body. Concubine Lin
who had been commanded not to move by him had
a face full of terror as if she had committed a grave
crime by not rising and giving the main wife a
greeting.
She didn't feel that it was rare that concubine Lin
didn't salute her. What amused her was that this
concubine Lin looked like a strong wind would
blow her over but it was all an act. That timid
expression was to let people misunderstand that
Mu Huanging would usually treat her harshly. In
reality, she had never scolded concubine Lin, never
said a heavy word, and dismissed her from giving
morning greetings. She didn't fight for her rights as
the main wife but instead let this little concubine
make the rules.
She was not blind. The entire Marquis house was
protecting Lin Ruoyou. She would rather break her
skull before giving concubine Lin any rules to
follow. Why would she want to find trouble for
herself?

"That's right. You're already pregnant so don't let
yourself become exhausted. You are exempted
from this etiquette." She gently agreed. An act
needed to be completed properly. This was
something she had always been good at.
"Thanking the madam." Concubine Lin lowered her
head, her teeth biting her lips. Her expression was
like she was overwhelmed by her favour but also
apprehensive and restless.
Mu Huanqing smilingly said, "I have come to
congratulate the Marquis and sister Lin. Since
sister Lin is with child, you need to rest more."
"Thanking the madam for her care, this
concubine..... this concubine will carefully follow the
madam's order."
"Just let the Marquis accompany you more. If you
need anything, just let someone tell me.
"Thanking the madam."
Mu Huanqing smilingly nodded. After some small
talk, she bid her farewells and left the room. She
didn't want to stay long.
When she left, Lin Rouyou agitatedly grabbed Fu
Yanlin's hands. "Cousin, I'm scared.
Fu Yanlin frowned. "Scared of what?"

Fu Yanlin frowned. "Scared of what?"
"This concubine had also had a miscarriage. This
blessing from the heavens was difficult to get. I'm
scared...
." Lin Ruoyou rubbed her stomach and
looked towards the outside, which just so happened
to be in the direction of that retreating silhouette.
Although she didn't say it, her tone implied
something.
Fu Yanlin understood with only a little thought and
soothed her. "Don't be afraid. You still have me.
"I believe in you, cousin." She snuggled in her
cousin's arms. Her face which was buried in his
chest curved with a smug smile.
She knew that she was born beautiful and knew
how to display her sorrow. Her cousin already felt
guilty. And since he had already forced her to
concede, he wouldn't let her be slighted again. But
it wasn't enough. She not only wanted his heart and
his body but now she also wanted his child
Last time she accidentally had a miscarriage but
was able to pass the blame onto the thief making a
ruckus in the household and rid herself of the
responsibility. She got the sympathy of her mother-
in-law and the pity of her cousin. This time she had
to carefully protect her child, she must not have
another miscarriage.
When Mu Huanqing returned to her courtyard, she
lowered her head and touched her small stomach.
She didn't tell Fu Yanlin that she was also
pregnant.

When Mu Huanqing returned to her courtyard, she
lowered her head and touched her small stomach.
She didn't tell Fu Yanlin that she was also
pregnant.
A moment ago at concubine Lin's place, she saw
the look on his face and decided not to say
anything. Because she knew that the timing was
wrong and already determined that Fu Yanlin
would not like this child.
She sat down, one hand stroking her abdomen, one
hand laying on the table. She used her finger to tap
on the tabletop and thought deeply about her
future plans.
She wasn't a young miss raised in the inner
courtyard. She could take responsibility for herself
and could make her own decisions.
To keep or not to keep this child? If she kept it, how
could she raise it?
In the Marquis house, she could see that she
couldn't take the role of raising children. Without
real power, she could not teach or raise her kid her
way so she needed to change the place.
The Mu household was also not suitable. Women
that had been married out could not return to their
maiden home to raise their child. She needed to
find a reason to leave the house and raise her child
into an adult.
