Chapter 485: Chapter 486 Trusting You More_1
“What’s with the rush?” Muniang had been greatly agitated these last few days, and every ti she saw soone in a panic, she intuitively felt as if sothing bad was about to happen.
Qingya quickly said, “There’s news from Lord Lu’s Mansion. Miss Qingi flatly refuses to go with Lu Ziquan, even going so far as to bump her head against a pillar. Lord Lu was horrified, and imdiately had soone watch over her. He was preparing to take her with Lu Ziquan once her injuries were a bit better, but early this morning, they found she had disappeared. Lord Lu went to great lengths to find her, only to learn that Miss Qingi had gone to Qingyun Temple and shaved her head to beco a nun. With her hair shaved off, Lord Lu had no choice but to send soone to inform you.”
Muniang slowly set down the teacup in her hand before saying, “Since she has chosen that path, let her be. She tried everything to beco Lu Ziquan’s official wife, and now that I have made it possible for her, she would rather beco a nun than follow him. I just don’t get the joke.”
Although she said this, her heart inevitably tinged with a bit of sorrow. For the first ti, Muniang believed in fate. Perhaps Qingi’s destiny was never entwined with wealth and peace. She had protected her all this way, yet was unable to change her fate, instead leading her down the wrong path ti and ti again, making her suffer so much.
Qingya let out a sigh and said, “Lady, there’s no need for you to feel this way. I know you still have so concerns for Miss Qingi, but since she has chosen this path herself, you don’t need to overthink it.”
Muniang spoke softly, “Of course, I can’t do much now. My fate with her was already severed the mont she insisted on handing
that cup of tea. Now that it has co to this, let her go. However, life in the monastery is austere and dull, a place for asceticism. With all her worldly desires, how can she bear it there?”
As the two of them were speaking, Qinghe rushed in anxiously and was relieved to see Muniang unhard.
“I was in Qinghua City when I learned about the downfall of Jin Renjie’s family, which was how I found out that you had nearly been assassinated. I was worried sick, why didn’t you inform
right away?” Qinghe said.
Only then did Muniang speak, “It’s my fault, I forgot. There’s been so much happening these days. Once I learned I was pregnant, I could truly forget about everything else.”
Qinghe laughed, “As long as the child is still well, it seems my good intentions led to bad outcos. If I hadn’t gone to see that doctor, maybe you would have found out about your pregnancy earlier and not have to worry about such matters.”
“Evil can’t always be prevented. If it hadn’t been for this event, it would have been another. I’m glad that this ti we managed to deal with them all at once. It gives
peace of mind. Otherwise, my unborn child would have suffered restlessness.”
Hearing this, Qinghe thought of Qingi and sighed, “I don’t know what got into Qingi, why she believed Lu Ziquan’s words and turned against you. I can’t believe it; she always seed so sweet-natured. And who in the world could care for her more than you? To think she would trust a stranger over you!”
Muniang shook her head, unsure of what to say. Qingi had foolishly been led around by the nose by Lu Ziquan, ti and ti again.
Seeing Muniang’s displeasure, Qinghe quickly said, “Let’s not talk about her anymore, to spare you from getting upset. You’re pregnant now, and the pregnant woman’s wellbeing is of utmost importance!”
Muniang thought of the child in her belly and finally showed a smile, “This child’s arrival is so tily. I am truly overjoyed. Not only has it fulfilled my own wishes, but it will also quiet down those at Marquis Chen Mansion.”
“Has the Marquis Chen Mansion been pressuring you?”
“Don’t even ntion it. Steward Chen can’t stand
now. Even though I am pregnant, when he goes back to the Capital, he surely won’t say a good word about
to my mother-in-law. Fortunately, the mountains are high and the Emperor is far away. Otherwise, I would have to spend half the day matching wits with my mother-in-law. How could I run my business then?”
Steward Chen had been sent back to the Capital by Yu Ze, and he would definitely spin stories to Jian Yue, slandering Muniang until she was left in tatters. Muniang could guess exactly what sort of things he would probably say.
“Then try your best to give birth to a healthy baby boy, and naturally, there will be nothing to say then.”
Although Muniang felt that having a boy or a girl was all the sa, she was not unaware of the importance of having a boy in ancient tis. When it beca known that she could not bear children, Steward Chen was about to drive her to her death, and if she couldn’t produce a male heir, she estimated that her fate wouldn’t be much better.
After all, she had married into a family in ancient tis as a daughter-in-law and even had exclusive claim on their legitimate son. It would be wishful thinking to hope for no troubles at all. Having a son would naturally save a lot of trouble, and since there was no family planning here, having a daughter later on wouldn’t be so bad either.
“Why not go and pray to Guanyin in the temple for a son next ti? Maybe you’ll be granted one.”
Muniang laughed, “Better not, I don’t believe in these things. If I’m so idle, I might as well stay at ho and learn how to make clothes for the child.”
Qinghe knew Muniang’s thoughts were always different from others and did not press her, but she was still quite surprised by the sight of all the needles and threads at her hand: “You’re going to learn needlework? Didn’t you say just looking at it gives you a headache?”
Muniang humd, “I’m about to be a mother now, can I really let others make my own child’s clothes? Now that I’m idle at ho, I’ve got to master this skill. It would be so embarrassing if other children wore clothes made by their mothers and mine did not. I must make my baby proud!”
Qinghe couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “You, really.”
“Just in ti for your visit, teach
quickly. I was just about to go to the embroidery room to find soone to teach .”
Qinghe agreed happily.
Now that Muniang was pregnant, she was acutely aware of the child’s importance and did not dare to be careless, so she stopped tending to i Garden. After all, with so many people around, an accidental bump could cost her the child, and the re thought would bring her to tears. Therefore, she simply handed over everything related to i Garden to Zhong Yulang to manage.
“You should know that it’s because I trust you so much that I’ve entrusted i Garden entirely to you. Don’t let down my expectations,” Muniang said earnestly.
Zhong Yulang’s expression remained calm, showing little joy: “Okay.”
“i Garden in Qinghua City will take a few more months to be completed. You need to be attentive here and also push things along there. Now that The Condor Heroes has concluded, let’s have Journey to the West perford again, and you won’t need to go on stage, okay? This way you won’t be so overwheld.”
“Yes.”
As soon as Zhong Yulang stepped out of the door, Muniang turned to Tianniu with a serious tone, “Tianniu, you must keep a close eye on him. If he dares to embezzle any silver from i Garden, co and tell
imdiately. I’ll deal with him!”
Zhong Yulang’s face turned dark in an instant. Which shaless woman had just said how much she trusted him?
