Chapter 67: Chapter 67: I Didn’t Expect Pregnancy to Be So Painful
“It’s not, it’s not the Second Prince’s.”
Murong Jiu quickly waved her hand, fearing that her master would misunderstand, and briefly recounted what had happened at the lantern festival that day.
She only mentioned that she was schemed against by the Second Prince and spent the night with another man, who seemed to be trained in martial arts, dressed in brocade, either rich or noble, beyond that she knew nothing more.
Her master furrowed his brows tightly, “The Second Prince really is despicable! And you’re going to have the child, aren’t you afraid that the Second Prince will someday find that man and take your child away?”
“No, that man wasn’t arranged by the Second Prince. Later, I recalled hearing a muffled grunt, it seems that the person arranged by the Second Prince was subdued by him, and he, having been drugged, ended up... ended up with me because of a series of misunderstandings.”
“Girl, think it through. The child in your womb will soon be three months along, and it will be dangerous to terminate the pregnancy then.”
...
“I will not terminate it.”
Murong Jiu protected her belly.
She knew her master meant well, fearing that she would be burdened by the child in the future.
But she had made up her mind, after divorcing Jun Yuyan, she would find that man, compensate him with money, and sever any future troubles. Afterwards, she would not marry again and would raise her two children on her own.
As she never considered remarrying, the children were not a burden to her, but her redemption.
In her previous life, she owed her two children, and this time, she wanted to make amends.
“Good.”
Her master nodded his head.
“It looks like the old man’s plan to wander the world has to be postponed again. Who knows if your child will be a crier like you were as a child.”
Murong Jiu, touched, chuckled, “I wasn’t a crybaby when I was little.”
Indeed, she was like a small, abandoned kitten when she was young, thin and small, yet bold and not a crybaby.
Because crying would make the servants in the manor despise her, and she would be beaten. After being beaten many times, she stopped crying.
“I always said the Second Prince wasn’t a good match for you. Now, this situation is better than marrying him and falling into a pit of fire. He pretended to have a relationship with you to control you, but due to his reluctance to involve himself, he let things spiral out of control. Now, he must be regretting it tremendously. Hmph, those dead fish eyes of his are so ugly, and yet he dares to look down on you? Once your pregnancy toxemia clears and your stunning beauty is revealed, he will regret it immensely!”
The master was infuriated just thinking about the Second Prince’s actions.
“Master, don’t be angry, take care of your health. What stunning beauty, I would be content just to remove this birthmark,” Murong Jiu said.
The old master felt it strange, as Prince Ling seemed too concerned about Xiao Jiu and had come rushing back to see her so eagerly.
Unfortunately, his expression was hidden behind a mask, making it impossible to discern. But his tone was gentle and measured, not like the pretentious Second Prince.
“Very well, thank you for your concern, Your Highness.”
He nodded, acknowledging that a wash was in order. Covered in dust from the road, it was only proper to clean up, lest the smell upset Xiao Jiu and make her nauseous again.
Prince Ling escorted him out of Qiyun Courtyard. After walking a few steps, he looked back and saw Prince Ling quickly returning inside.
He seemed to care deeply for Xiao Jiu.
But hadn’t Xiao Jiu said that he already had a woman he adored?
The old master furrowed his brow deeply, unable to comprehend the thoughts of these young people.
After entering the room, Jun Yuyan sat down where Divine Doctor Zhai had been sitting and quietly gazed at Murong Jiu’s sleeping face.
Even in sleep, she wore a slight smile, clearly delighted by her master’s presence.
Jun Yuyan also slightly curved the corners of his lips, his gaze dropping to her still-flat belly.
Inside, was his and her child.
Just thinking about this softened his gaze even more, and a hopeful anticipation of fatherhood filled his heart.
He leaned in slightly and whispered to the unborn child in her belly, “Be good in there, don’t make your mother suffer, understand?”
If his good friend Su Kai were to see this scene, he might pop his eyes out in disbelief.
The mighty War God Prince had such a childlike side.
After speaking, Jun Yuyan thought that it would be nice if there were a remedy available for morning sickness.
He had personally witnessed Murong Jiu vomiting till her face turned pale and her eyes were red, looking as though she’d vomit her stomach’s bile, which made him feel heartbroken.
He had not realized that pregnancy could be so painful for a woman.
“No! Don’t kill my child!”
Suddenly, as if having a terrible nightmare, Murong Jiu’s face, previously smiling, turned to a mask of pain as she struggled in her dream.
“Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu, wake up!”
