Chapter 238 I Can’t Love You
Lin'an Outer City, Boguan Street, Qingyun Lane.
The small courtyard at the innermost part of the east was also not at peace. When the earth dragon turned over, half of the house collapsed and a beam of the main house also fell off.
Although the pregnant hostess was not hit, she was very scared. She felt abdominal pain a few days later and even had a bleeding episode.
There was a maid serving her, who spread a quilt beside the couch and watched over her as she slept.
The hostess tossed and turned tonight and couldn't sleep. The old woman became irritated when she heard the noise in the tent and said unhappily, "If you don't sleep, the day will soon come. It doesn't matter if you take a rest or not, but don't let the baby in your belly suffer."
A woman's voice came from the tent: "If you really love your child, you should send me back to the Su Wang Mansion, to the Sixth Prince, instead of keeping me under house arrest in a place like this. I am the Sixth Prince's woman, and he will be happy that I am pregnant with his child. Everyone in the Su Wang Mansion will take good care of me."
The old woman who was on night watch snorted coldly, "The Sixth Prince is happy, but the Queen Mother is not happy. Otherwise, why do you think there are so many women in the Prince Su's Mansion, but none of them can give birth to a child?"
The woman in the tent shuddered and said no more.
The old woman continued, "I am happy to know that you have a child, but you have to wait until the child is born safely before you are happy. It is useless to just keep the baby in your belly. His Highness did it for your own good, so he did not let you go to the Su Wang Mansion, but just raised you quietly outside. He did not come to see you for your own good. The Queen Mother has many spies. If you are discovered, not only will you die, not to mention the child. Oh, by the way, it's not just the Queen Mother. There is now a principal mistress in the mansion, and the mistress's child has not been born yet. The concubine got pregnant first, and the concubine was born before the legitimate child. Do you think that if you really go back to the Su Wang Mansion, the mistress will forgive you? The Sixth Prince is protecting you, you should be happy. You are provided with delicious food and drink here, what else is there to be dissatisfied about." The woman was silent for a while, and then spoke again: "Who are you? Are you really sent by the Sixth Prince? Why do I always feel that you don't look like someone from the Su Wang Mansion?"
"What's the difference?" The old woman was very unhappy. "Madam has never been to Prince Su's Mansion. Where did this comparison come from?"
“It’s not a comparison, it’s just a feeling.”
"Then put aside this feeling." The old woman's voice softened a little. "Madam, don't think too much. If I'm not from the Su Wang Mansion, where else could I be from? In Lin'an City, besides the Sixth Prince, who else would care about you and your belly? I know that Madam is unhappy and thinks this is like house arrest. After all, you are not even allowed to go out of the door. But this is also to protect you, because the Su Wang Consort has heard about you and is sending people to search everywhere. Once they find you, you and the child will be dead. On one side is the Queen Mother, and on the other side is the Su Wang Consort. Which one do you think you can escape from?"
With a whoosh, the woman opened the curtain and poked her head out. "What about after the baby is born? Can I return to Prince Su's Mansion after the baby is born?" The old woman also sat up from the ground and nodded. "Yes, that's what your highness said."
"What if the princess makes things difficult for me again?"
"That depends on your own ability." The old woman rolled her eyes. "Madam, listen to me. Which concubines and illegitimate children have survived like this? If you don't believe me, go out and ask around. Which mistress can tolerate a concubine who got pregnant before she got married? Especially someone with your background, singing in a teahouse, is a lowly person, not even as good as a servant. It's also shameful for the mistress, so it's normal that she can't tolerate you."
"Then she will tolerate me after I give birth to the baby?"
"The birth has already been completed, what else can she do? By then, the prince will protect you and your child. As long as you win the prince's heart, you can live well. The reason why you are cautious now is that the child is still in your belly. There are too many ways to harm you and your child, and it is hard to guard against them. It will be fine after the birth. After the birth, assign a few more servants to watch over the child every day. She can't snatch the child away and throw it to death in front of so many people."
The woman nodded, "You are right, I think too much." After saying that, she retracted her head, put the curtains away, and lay flat on the couch, stroking her belly over and over again. "I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. My child has encountered so many twists and turns before it was born. If it weren't for the pills that the fourth lady gave me that night, I'm afraid my mother and I would have died together with this earth dragon. If I had known that life would be so hard, I should have risked my life rather than obey the Sixth Prince. My father's life was wasted, and in the end I have to give birth to a child for him. What a shame."
The old woman had a face full of sarcasm, "You are determined to die! Now you regret it, but what did you do in the first place? In the final analysis, you were afraid and greedy, and wanted to fight for a different life from before. So don't complain, and don't feel wronged. The prince is blessed with a long life, and the lady will surely be honored by her son in the future. All right, go to sleep!"
The woman stopped talking, and the maid did not lie down immediately, but sat on the ground. The room was very dark, so dark that a person could stand in the room and no one would notice him.
Ye Feizhou listened to the two people talking and recognized the old woman the first time he saw her.
What person from Prince Su's Mansion? That person was clearly the maidservant of his mother Xiao Shubai. It was said that she was the dowry brought from the Xiao family when his mother married into the General's Mansion.
He didn't understand why his mother would send the nanny beside her to serve the Sixth Prince's concubine and pretend to be a servant of Prince Su's mansion. He didn't understand why Ye Hongzhuang asked him to take the person away since the person had always been in his mother's hands.
Could it be that the younger sister doesn’t even trust her own mother?
To ensure the birth of the child, to kill the mother and keep the child, he could more or less guess what Ye Hongzhuang meant.
Most likely they were betting that the woman was carrying a boy, so that if she gave birth to a girl, they could switch the boy with a girl and keep her position in the Prince Su's mansion. But this matter was vaguely complicated, and I felt that there must be something else going on, but I couldn't figure it out for the time being.
He shook his head, unwilling to think about it. He was here to take this woman away tonight. He had to do this no matter what. He had to get the evidence in the hands of the Dust King, and he would do it at any cost.
Ye Feizhou made a move. He walked behind the old woman, silently and like a ghost.
When he got closer, he put two fingers together and pressed the old woman's sleeping point.
In the blink of an eye, the old woman fell to the ground and began to snore. Then the woman in the tent snorted and said, "You fall asleep quickly. I don't know who is keeping watch for whom."
He opened the curtain and saw a woman lying flat on the couch, stroking her belly with her hands.
The woman also looked at him, and opened her mouth in fear, but she didn't dare to scream. Because the tip of Ye Feizhou's sword was already against her throat, and he warned her at the same time: "If you want to live, shut up and follow me obediently, otherwise I will send you to heaven right now!"
The woman dared not make a sound. She was so frightened that she was almost paralyzed and could not walk on her own.
Ye Feizhou wanted to carry the woman on his shoulders, but was afraid that the posture would hurt her stomach. Helplessly, he had to hold the woman horizontally and let the woman's arms hang around his neck.
He felt that this posture was quite awkward, especially since the woman had been staring at his face with her eyes ever since he picked her up, and they had never left his sight for even a moment, which made it even more awkward.
He was clearly in the business of kidnapping people in the middle of the night, but why did he make it look like he was eloping with someone? Why did the woman look like that? Could she still have some awareness that she was being kidnapped?
There were no other servants in the yard except for a maid. I guess Xiao thought that sending a maid who knew martial arts to look after a weak pregnant woman would be a sure thing! Ye Feizhou easily brought the person out and stuffed her into the carriage parked on the side of the road.
When the woman was stuffed into the carriage, she pulled Ye Feizhou with her, looked at him lovingly, and said to him in a soft voice: "Sir, I'm afraid to be alone in the carriage, can you come in and keep me company?"
Ye Feizhou finally understood why this woman would rather sacrifice her father's life than die by hitting the wall herself. It's not that she didn't have the courage to die, she just preferred to live with a noble man.
Rather than saying that the Sixth Prince forced her, it would be better to say that she took the initiative to seduce him. Just like now, in this situation, the other party is still using such charming skills, which shows that this is habitual and she doesn't care about men and women, chastity or not.
He was extremely disgusted, so he grabbed the woman's sleeve and threw her away, glared at her fiercely, and then got into the car and rode away.
The night in the outer city was very lively, as people were busy rebuilding their homes and stayed up all night. There were many people coming and going on the streets, and many people were driving horse-drawn carriages to transport supplies. Although some people looked at Ye Feizhou's carriage on the street, it was not too conspicuous.
His goal was to leave the city, but it was still early, and it was not time to open the city gates. He had no choice but to drive the carriage slowly, and at the same time whispered to the people entering the carriage: "Sit still, don't stick your head out, and don't make any noise. I am not from the Su Palace, so I can't care about your belly. If you don't do what I want, I will cut your neck with a sword."
The woman failed to seduce him, and was frightened by his words. She shivered and huddled in the carriage, and replied, "Don't worry, sir."
Ye Feizhou stopped talking.
The carriage went further and passed through a busy street in the outer city. There were more people on the street than before.
At this time, a team of night patrol officers passed by and paid more attention to his carriage. Because the carriage was driving too slowly, not as fast as they walked. If it was this speed, why did they need to take a carriage? Wouldn't it be better to get off and walk? As they thought about this, some people went to look at the driver. It didn't matter if they saw him, they recognized him immediately - "This, isn't this the second young master of the Ye family? Why did you run to the outer city in the middle of the night?"
