Chapter 185 I Want to Be the Mistress of the Zhou Family
The court doctor didn't dare to stay at the door for a second, and immediately hid in the small kitchen to boil medicine to preserve the pregnancy.
Inside the room, as soon as the court doctor left, Zhou Qin said to Zhou, Wonton, and Baicai, "You all go down first."
"I'll take my leave." Wonton and Baicai bowed and retreated obediently without any hesitation.
However, Zhou glared at Xu Rong fiercely and refused to leave.
Zhou Qin winked at Zhou, and even though Zhou was extremely angry, she had to retreat.
When they got outside, Zhou didn't leave, but waved to Wonton and Baicai.
Although Wonton and Baicai were worried about Xu Rong, the situation had come to this point and was no longer something servants like them could control, so they could only bow and retreat.
Seeing that there was no one in the yard, Zhou put her ear to the door and eavesdropped on the movements inside.
Inside the room, Zhou Qin sat down beside the bed and said to Xu Rong, who had her eyes tightly closed, "You heard it yourself. Now you are pregnant with our Zhou family's heir."
As soon as Zhou Qin said this, Xu Rong suddenly opened her eyes and raised her fist to hit her stomach.
Zhou Qin was instantly frightened by her action. He grabbed her fist and squeezed it tightly. "What do you want to do?"
Xu Rong glared at Zhou Qin angrily, "Such a bastard cannot possibly survive in my belly."
"You're crazy." Zhou Qin shouted angrily, "This is my Zhou family's bloodline. If anything goes wrong in your belly, you won't live."
Xu Rong wasn't afraid of his threats at all. "As long as Xu Rui is alive, you won't dare touch me."
Xu Rong felt very complicated. Even though she hated Xu Rui, she still had to use his name to save her life.
Zhou Qin's eyes darkened for a moment, but when he saw her belly, his voice softened. "I won't touch you. Haven't you always wanted to get rid of me? As long as you give birth to a child for the Zhou family, I will never touch you again."
Xu Rong's eyes lit up, but she still didn't believe Zhou Qin. She said angrily, "Do you think I will believe you?"
"You think you still have a choice now? You have caused Lai'er to lose the ability to carry on the family line. Now I can only ask you to give birth to a child for my Zhou family to repay you, otherwise you will pay with your life. This is your only way now." Zhou Qin said gloomily.
Xu Rong thought about how Xu Rui had tricked her into marrying into the Zhou family, and how the dowry she received was all made of stones. After a few seconds of silence, she looked up at Zhou Qin and said, "I promise you I will give birth to this child, but I want you to promise me one thing."
Zhou Qin's eyes lit up, and his tone was filled with joy, "You said?"
"I want to be the mistress of the Zhou family."
Zhou Qin narrowed his eyes suddenly, "You mean..."
Xu Rong raised her chin high and stiffened her neck as she said, "I want to take charge of the Zhou family's finances. I want that bitch Zhou to kneel before me."
When Zhou, who was eavesdropping at the door, heard this, she was so angry that her face turned blue. She wanted to rush in and slap her mouth.
I didn't expect this little bitch to be so ambitious.
Now that Xu Rong is pregnant with the Zhou family's child, Zhou Qin will definitely protect her. If she rushes in like this now, not only will she not be able to defeat Xu Rong, but it will also make Zhou Qin dislike her even more. She must make long-term plans.
"No problem." Zhou Qin agreed without hesitation. "As long as you give birth to a son, I can give you anything you want."
Now, nothing is more important to him than the descendants of the Zhou family.
Even the official position is not as important as the child in Xu Rong's belly.
Seeing Zhou Qin agree, Xu Rong was extremely proud, "You said it."
Zhou Qin smiled, "I, Zhou Qin, always keep my word. What's more, the child in your belly is now the only heir of my Zhou family. Everything in my Zhou family belongs to him."
Zhou Qin's words also pleased Xu Rong.
Thinking that everything in the Zhou family would belong to her and her son in the future, Xu Rong smiled.
This was the first time Zhou Qin saw Xu Rong smile in such a long time. Adding on the fact that Xu Rong was beautiful, he felt very happy. If she wasn't pregnant, Zhou Qin would have wanted to eat her up right now.
After Xu Rong was happy, she saw the gleam in Zhou Qin's eyes, and quickly looked away with a look of vigilance.
Zhou Qin knew she was still on guard against him, so he didn't get angry. He sat down, took her hand, and changed the subject, "Did your mother and Jiang Xiyu come to the Zhou family today?"
Xu Rong, who had wanted to shake off his hand, forgot to do so. She raised her eyes and asked angrily, "What are they doing here?"
Seeing that Xu Rong didn't like them coming, Zhou Qin smiled widely. "They are afraid that we will harm you. Jiang Xiyu asked you to return to the Marquis' Mansion tomorrow. If she doesn't see you return, she will report you to the authorities and have people from Shuntian Mansion come to take you back."
Xu Rong withdrew her hand and quickly understood what Zhou Qin meant. "Do you want me to go back?"
Zhou Qin raised Xu Rong's chin with a wicked smile, "Yes, you haven't been back since you got married. It's time for you to go back. However, I hope that when you go back, you will know clearly what to say and what not to say."
Xu Rong stroked her belly, thinking of Zhou Qin's promise just now. A gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and she smiled and said, "Of course I understand."
Zhou Qin stayed in Linxiang Pavilion until midnight before returning to his room. As soon as he lit the candle, he turned pale with fright. When he found out it was Zhou, he roared angrily, "Zhou, you are in my room in the middle of the night without lighting a light. What are you crazy about?"
"Am I crazy?" Zhou stood up and walked in front of Zhou Qin, looking at him with hatred in her eyes. "Did you promise that little bitch that you would hand over the household expenses of the mansion to her and that I would give her everything in the Zhou family and make me kneel before her when the time comes?"
Zhou Qin blinked his eyes guiltily, but when he thought about her eavesdropping, he was very unhappy. "You eavesdropped on us?"
Seeing that he not only admitted it directly but also questioned her, Zhou's tears fell down her cheeks and she choked up, "If I hadn't eavesdropped, you would have waited for that little bitch to give birth to a child. By then, Lai'er and I would be useless. You would give her everything and then we would be kicked out of the house."
Hearing her mention Zhou Lai, and seeing that she had been with him for so many years, Zhou Qin still softened his heart and pulled her into his arms, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I kick you out?"
Zhou struggled hard, "What nonsense am I talking about? I heard everything you said."
Zhou Qin sighed helplessly, "All I said was to coax her into giving birth to the baby. She almost hurt herself just now, so I said those words for the baby. Besides, I had to coax her so that she wouldn't say anything nonsense when she goes back tomorrow."
Zhou stopped struggling, but still a little uncertainly asked, "Will she really not say anything nonsense?"
Zhou Qin raised the corner of his lips confidently, "Don't worry, she already wants to keep the child. Since she wants to keep the child, she won't say anything nonsense."
