Chapter 325: The Cat Substitutes for the Prince 8
When the group returned to the mansion, Fu Jinhuai had been waiting for a long time. However, when he saw Qingmo walk in, the smile on his face froze.
"My lady, um, why are you back so early?" He almost lost his composure for a moment, but he quickly covered it up.
He didn't know what had happened yet, so he couldn't afford to panic.
"Oh! Halfway there, my mother-in-law suddenly felt unwell, so we turned back."
"What's wrong, my husband? You don't seem to want me to come back?"
Qingmo scrutinized him with a scrutinizing gaze, which frightened Fu Jinhuai so much that he didn't dare to breathe. After all, he had done something wrong, so how could he not panic?
"How could that be? Madam, please don't overthink it. Where are Mother and the others? Why can't we find them?" He quickly changed the subject.
Qingmo gave him a meaningful look and smiled, "My husband is so filial, why don't you go and see for yourself? Your mother-in-law and Aunt Mo have been carried back to their own courtyard."
"lift?"
As soon as he heard that word, he knew something was wrong. Without asking any more questions, he hurriedly ran away.
However, this eldest son didn't go to his mother's courtyard first; the first person he cared about was naturally the one he cherished most.
Yu Yu, you absolutely cannot get into trouble. My heart, my liver, you are three-quarters of my life.
When Fu Jinhuai nervously went to Mo Yuyu's room, he saw her lying on the bed, looking utterly hopeless, with bruises on her skin.
He couldn't wait to ask, "Yu Yu, what's wrong? What happened?"
"Tell me, what happened, Yu Yu, tell me, tell me."
Mo Yuyu remained silent, only shedding tears.
Fu Jinhuai ignored him and kept asking questions.
He grabbed Mo Yuyu's shoulders with both hands and shook her vigorously, he wouldn't feel at ease until he got to the bottom of it.
However, Mo Yuyu refused to speak no matter what, so Fu Jinhuai had no choice but to turn around and go to his mother's courtyard.
Seeing that his mother was in the same state, almost falling apart, he couldn't help but ask, "Mother, please tell your son what happened."
"She's crazy! That woman is crazy! Jin Huai, divorce her! Divorce her! Let's run! She'll kill us!"
Mrs. Fu huddled under the covers, shivering. At her age, to have her reputation ruined in her old age was a devastating blow.
No matter how much Fu Jinhuai pressed her for answers, his mother only told him to get a divorce and stay away from that woman; she wouldn't say anything else.
How could she possibly tell such a thing, especially to her own son?
Should I say that I've lost my chastity, which I've guarded my whole life for your father? How will she ever face anyone again? She'd rather just kill herself.
Since none of the victims spoke up, Qingmo naturally wouldn't say much either.
The servants' mouths were sealed shut; they dared not utter a single word.
Just kidding, the madam has already told them to shut up. If they keep talking nonsense, they'll be dead today and buried tomorrow.
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of him, Fu Jinhuai stopped asking.
After all, he could guess what happened, as long as he wasn't blind.
But as long as they don't say anything, he'll just pretend he doesn't know anything.
What else to do?
He's been involved with several women, why do you have to force them to admit it?
That's such a jerk.
The plan definitely didn't work out, and this was revenge from that woman, but Fu Jinhuai had no choice but to swallow his anger.
What else can we do? Shatter the facade? The net might not break, but he'll definitely be a dead fish.
At this point, he no longer dared to gamble on Qingmo's feelings for him. If she did have feelings, she would never have gone so far as to harm his mother out of consideration for him.
He had no choice but to be obedient and hide his fangs.
After this incident, it would be incredibly difficult for him to take action again; he could only proceed cautiously.
They lie low, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.
However, before he could come up with a good solution, news came that he had been suspended from his post.
Without a doubt, Qingmo wrote a letter to her father.
Marquis Anyang would naturally choose a quiet husband who stays at home with his wife over a son-in-law who makes great strides in officialdom.
The latter was just a minor official, whom the Marquis of Anyang's mansion naturally looked down upon. It was already a great honor for him that the latter could make his daughter happy.
Fu Jinhuai was dismissed from his post on some random pretext; that's the benefit of power.
At this moment, Fu Jinhuai realized how terribly wrong he had been.
He had the opportunity to climb the social ladder right in front of him, and he seized it, but he was still insatiable, wanting to possess everything and give it all to the person he loved most.
He completely forgot who brought all of this to him.
However, before Fu Jinhuai could recover from the loss of his official position, another shocking blow came.
Within half a month, Mo Yuyu and the other two were diagnosed with pregnancy.
At first, when Mo Yuyu was found to be pregnant, Fu Jinhuai was happy, thinking that the child was his.
Then Lü Yun became pregnant, and things started to go wrong.
Hmm! He comforted himself, thinking that maybe the child was definitely his from the time with the artificial hill.
When Qingmo told him that Fu's mother was also pregnant.
The sky has fallen.
He can't exactly say that the child is his own, can he?
That's even more impossible. It must be his father, who died more than ten years ago. His father was wronged; his father was being cuckolded.
"Husband, congratulations! This is a triple celebration."
“I’ll have someone take Lü Yun as your concubine right away. We’re a wealthy family, we can’t do such a disgraceful thing and then deny it.”
As for my mother…
"Why don't we find an old widower and marry my mother off? We can't let her ruin her reputation in her old age. Her husband's younger brother is still in her belly."
After hearing this, Fu Jinhuai felt dizzy and almost fainted.
His face was deathly pale, his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a single word.
This was an utter disgrace; his mother, his concubine, and his maid were all pregnant at the same time.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, he knew better than anyone that the child was conceived while offering incense that day, but he didn't know who the father was.
He only knew that if this matter got out, his Fu family would probably lose all face in the capital.
His head is probably just as big as his father's.
"Madam, please don't tease me. My mother... how could this be..." Fu Jinhuai pleaded, hoping Qingmo would say it was a joke.
Qingmo sneered, "Husband, I don't have time to joke with you. This is absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask a doctor to take a look."
"You...you wicked woman, what exactly do you want?"
Qingmo blinked her eyes, looking at him innocently. "Husband, what are you saying? I'm just a woman, what can I do? After all, the children in their wombs aren't mine. I don't have that function."
Hehe, actually, it was her who did it.
She only gave each of them one fertility pill, using up all her reserves. She'll have to redeem them from the system next time. You can see how generous she is, right?
Sigh! She was just too kind after all.
Not wanting to see her mother-in-law lonely, she suggested that she give birth to a younger brother-in-law to keep her company.
Unable to bear seeing Mo Yuyu worry about her eldest son, they encouraged her to try for a second child, promising her a bright future.
Unable to bear seeing Lü Yun without a name or status, they gave her a child so she could become a concubine. However, a virtuous concubine was out of the question; a lowly concubine would be just fine.
In the end, she was the only one who silently accepted everything.
This family will break up without her.
Fu Jinhuai finally coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted.
No, this is too much of a blow; he can't handle it.
