âThe employees arenât loyal to him, after all, so their efficiency surely canât be high.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhatâs your plan, then?â questioned the older woman, only to have the distraught, young lady shaking her head helplessly with gritted teeth.
âI-I want to make her lose her baby. Without the child in her stomach, she wonât be able to do much; Iâve thought things through, and it shouldnât be a tall order to get rid of the fetus since sheâs all alone. I suspect that sheâs keeping it so that she can secretly raise it just like what that sl*t, Yun Shishi, did, then once the childâs old enough, theyâll return to the capital for the child to acknowledge his roots. The Mus value their descendants very much, so theyâll surely acknowledge the boy as well as his mother. Even though she wonât have any status, she, ultimately, can become a member of the family, which is a concern in itself. Iâll have to face this mistress day in and out. Donât tell me that, even after I become the young madam of the Mu family, I still have to fight with the woman for my husband every day?â
âThat...â Jiang Qimeng felt somewhat conflicted as well.
All of a sudden, her daughter told her, âMom, why donât you and dad go cause a scene at the Mu residence? The wedding is drawing near, so surely we can complain to his second uncle and ask him to seek justice for me? Weâve still got a chance now that the child hasnât been born. The Mus value their reputation; we can spill this matter to the media, and once itâs exposed, they surely wonât sit back and do nothing about it.â
âYou canât do that!â She shot down the idea right away.
âWhy not?â The missy could not understand her motherâs objection.
âItâs as good as blatantly offending the Mus! Mu Linfeng is no saint; if we end up antagonizing him, itâll do no good for our entire family.â
âThen what? The Songs deserve to be bullied by them? Weâre no pushovers, either. Both of us may be pregnant, but Iâm his legitimate fiancée while that woman is just a hussy of unknown origins. Shouldnât he give me an explanation for that? Itâs unfair that I must endure this humiliation when Iâm not even married to him yet.â She argued.
Her mother immediately comforted her by saying, âYou canât put things that way, you silly lass! The young chap was somewhat coerced into this marriage, and his family wasnât entirely in agreement to your union. Think about it; you expected his child when he didnât even touch you. If not for the fetus in your belly and the fact that they are in deep waters and need the resources that we have, they wouldâve never agreed to this! If this were Mu Yazhe, heâd definitely have your child aborted without further ado! He wouldnât even let you have the chance to threaten him with such cheap tricks! Mu Yancheng, in contrast, has just gotten promoted to a new position and doesnât have as much authority and influence. Plus, heâs got a soft heart, so heâll definitely accept the child. What Iâm saying is that the Mus are quite dissatisfied with this marriage; if you go too far with your demands, theyâll surely be even more upset with you.â
What the older woman said sounded clear and logical; it was obvious that she understood where they stood with the Mus right now.
Even though Song Enya still felt pretty much indignant, she understood that her plan to cause a scene at the other household was not a wise one after listening to her motherâs analysis.
