Chapter 73 The Madam Has Been Cheating Again (The End)
Chapter 73 The Madam Has Been Cheating Again (The End)
The General's Mansion is also on the verge of decline. The General is crippled, the Second Master has broken both legs, and both of his sons are useless.
Xue's mother couldn't catch her breath and suffered a stroke. What kind of family is this? One person is bedridden and three others are injured.
Left behind are an orphan and a widow; life is hard.
Don't get too carried away.
He routinely whips his ungrateful son and, incidentally, gives him a sterilization pill to sever the Xue family line.
Liu Ruyan had to come to Qingmo Courtyard every day, kneel for six hours, and clock in for work. She wanted to run away, but she couldn't.
When she got back, she still had to take care of Xue Yuanzhi, that cripple, so Qingmo locked them both up together.
Liu Ruyan had nowhere to vent her overwhelming resentment, so she could only take needles and prick Xue Yuanzhi every day. She dared not kill him, for fear that the madam would take her life in return. Although life was bitter, who would want to die?
The decline of the General's Mansion was only relative; it had lost its power, but it still had money. With the Prince of Xiang's covert support, no one would cause trouble for it.
Qingmo stopped going out and instead stayed home to rest and prepare for her pregnancy.
The Prince of Xiang would climb over the wall to see her whenever he had time, but Han Feizhi had no idea who she was. He only knew that the female thief was no longer coming, and he was heartbroken for a long time.
After ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to two adorable little girls, Bao Bao and Bei Bei. The little girl is so beautiful and radiant.
Fine, just hand it over to the wet nurse. No matter how pretty she is, she won't take care of the baby.
Xiao Taohong: "Miss, are you going to the temple fair today? I heard that several young men will be going too."
"Go, go, come here and help me style my hair into a pretty bun."
Xiao Taohong chuckled to herself. She knew her young mistress's character all too well. Although she was a mother of three, her status outside the home was self-imposed; she was just a dutiful young widow.
Han Fei and the King of Xiang both got married one after another, so Qingmo naturally cut off her contact with them.
She never expects a man's true feelings, nor does she hope that anyone will remain chaste for her. After all, they are men she has used, so what's the point of throwing them away?
The newly appointed third-ranked scholar is quite handsome. Although scholars are often fickle, you're not going to have a pure love affair with him, so what does his fickleness have to do with you?
I'm just lusting after his body; I'll forget about him after I've had my way with him. Who cares if he'll be heartless and ungrateful later? I only like him as he is now, nothing more.
Time flies, and five years have passed quickly.
The baby and baby are both very cute, with round, chubby faces.
The little girl dressed up as a doll, pinching her cheeks; they smelled sweet.
When Qingmo was in a good mood, she would ask the nanny to bring her over so she could kiss, hug, and lift her up high. When she got tired of playing, she would ask the nanny to take her back to the courtyard so she could play by herself.
Baby:...
Beibei: ...
Are they aggrieved? No, they wouldn't dare cause trouble in front of their mother. Didn't they see that Brother Huai Ren gets beaten every day?
What's there to feel aggrieved about? Their mother has only pure love for them.
My brother is a boy. He gets beaten if he doesn't stand properly, he gets beaten if he doesn't do well in school, and he gets beaten if he's not good-looking. They can't bear this kind of heavy maternal love.
Xiao Huai Ren: He must not be his biological son. He was adopted by his mother. Otherwise, why would his mother only beat him and not his sister?
Envy, jealousy, and hatred filled his mind, but it was all for naught; who cared?
When I have nothing better to do, I go and torment this family of wounded soldiers. At night, I climb over the wall and go out to see the young men outside.
What did she do wrong? She just wanted to give every boy a home.
My dear husband, you stay with her and I will wander the world.
?(●′?`●)??
When Bao Bao and Bei Bei reach marriageable age, it's time for them to find partners.
As for Xiao Huai Ren, well~
He was beaten badly by Qingmo and had a scar on his face. He couldn't find a partner, and the General's Mansion had no title to inherit. Now it was just the Xue Mansion.
Qingmo stopped going out and having fun. By the time she was in her thirties or forties, she had basically lost interest in going out and having fun. No, no, her old bones couldn't take any more of that.
He spent his days in the mansion listening to music, reading storybooks, and raising a myna bird to play with.
Xue's mother passed away long ago, at an advanced age, and it was a fitting end for her. Xue Yuanqi didn't live more than a few years before following her.
Xue Yuanzhi and Liu Ruyan just kept enduring the pain, they just wouldn't die, can you believe how infuriating that is?
Liu Ruyan's legs were deformed from kneeling, and she was in pain every day, but she got used to kneeling.
Unable to leave the mansion, she lacked the courage to commit suicide, and dared not let Xue Yuanzhi die, for she would certainly be buried with him.
Baby Beibei didn't have much affection for this nominal father, after all, they had only met a few times.
Although King Xiang had broken off relations with Qingmo, he would still secretly send her some jewelry.
As for the gifts for his two daughters, Qingmo reluctantly put them into her own little savings account. She didn't want them, but he insisted on giving them to her and wouldn't listen. You can't reason with that.
When daughters grow up, they have to get married. Qingmo said that it's their own choice who they marry, but everyone has to be responsible for the path they choose.
The baby only desires wealth and status, not love and romance. The baby wishes to find one person to love and stay with until old age.
No wonder these two are fraternal twins; their personalities are completely different.
The baby is the son of the Prince of Xiang, of royal blood. There is no such thing as pure love, just like her, who is his own flesh and blood.
Beibei, um~
She's into pure romance, may she live a long and healthy life, she must have inherited the traits of the original owner of this body.
In the end, Bao Bao married a wealthy young man, controlling both the money and the man, and lived a happy and fulfilling life.
Beibei married the second son of the prime minister. In the end, her sincerity was wasted. Before the marriage, he said he would only love one person in his life. After the marriage, all he called out to was his lover.
Like many women, Beibei was once an innocent and naive little girl.
Later, the years wore her down and she became the very thing she used to hate most: vying for a husband with one concubine after another in the backyard, heartbroken over the slightest bit of affection.
Qingmo could help her, but it wasn't necessary. Beibei didn't have the cunning or the means. As long as a woman doesn't love a man, she can't lose.
Qingmo still prefers Baobao. Beibei, whose mind is only filled with love and romance, can only meet the right person. If she makes a mistake, she can never recover.
But life is always full of adversity; it all depends on how you handle it.
Qingmo lived to be seventy-five years old. Even that short-lived Xiao Huai Ren didn't live as long as her. What could she do? Just endure it.
Of course, I sold all the money in the General's Mansion and put it into my spatial storage in gold. It's another day of making money. I'm so happy!
"Ding, congratulations on completing the mission. We will take you away from this world immediately."
"Ding, area score settled: 1000, balance: 9115"
What a bitter pill to swallow! She's lived for over a thousand years across all these worlds, not counting the cultivation world, and she still doesn't have ten thousand points. What kind of evil capitalist is this?
Having cultivated to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, there's no time to rest, just keep doing tasks. The working class's spirit is to strive for excellence.
"Xiao Wu, let's begin the next task."
