Chapter 9 Section IX

Probably I only deserve this fate. I am indeed pregnant. I have not been pregnant so many times before. This pregnancy is probably caused by the last time I saw my son-in-law.Maybe we are all too complacent, especially Zigong, he is a steady person, damn it, he took my pocket money at that time, he must be thinking about going to Qiting to find someone to gamble first?Forget everything else.What can I do now? It was unreasonable to hide it from my father, but my mother determined that my father would not change his decision after verbally probing him. She told me that their conversation was as follows:

Mother: "Changru, it is said that Lu Buwei, the Prime Minister of the Qin State, gave his concubine to Yiren, the prince of King Huiwen of Qin. At that time, the concubine was pregnant, but the other person didn't know. Later, the concubine gave birth Qin Shihuang, later Lu Buwei was killed by his own son, do you think he was wronged?" Father said: "Seeking benevolence and getting benevolence, why should he be wronged?" The mother's face immediately turned into a bitter gourd.The father looked at her vigilantly, and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean by asking this? Could it be that Chen Tang, the thief and prisoner, did something to us, Aying?"

My mother has always admired my father's intelligence, knowing that I couldn't hide it, so she told him everything about me and my son-in-law like a bamboo tube pouring beans. I don't know if she had a fluke mentality at that moment. In fact, I have this mentality.Maybe my father will accept this fait accompli, simply break the jar, subsidize my son-in-law to marry me, and give me a generous dowry, a team of hardworking boy servants, just like what Zhuo Wangsun did to Sima Xiangru in the end.With this dowry, the son-in-law will have the money to go to Chang'an to realize his dream.His articles are really well written and I believe in his talent.But there is one condition, he has to take me with him.

My dream was so unrealistic. When my father heard the news of my pregnancy, he was furious but dared not speak up.The house was full of turmoil in those few days, and the maids and servants were punished inexplicably, so that except for those servants who sold themselves to my family, everyone else asked to pay the bill and leave.I feel sorry for them, but who will sympathize with me? The father had already accepted the dowry from the county magistrate's family, and all the etiquettes such as Nacai and Najib had been fulfilled, and the marriage contract was obviously unchangeable.In particular, he couldn't accept the fact that a scoundrel like Zigong "made an affair" with his daughter.And rape, it's hard for me to say this word, but that's the truth.But I didn't think too much about it at the time. I made up my mind to marry my son-in-law. Since things don't depend on my will, how can I rely on me?I have defiled the Le family, although the Le family is not a family of poets and ceremonies, no matter how airy my father is, he is just a village official who knows a little bit of law.It's just that compared with ordinary people, there is more or less etiquette.It seems that I can't say how glorious it is to do such a thing.

There is no good way, my father is going to block all news and let me marry into the royal family early.Fortunately, one thing is really God's will. County magistrate Wang was promoted because of his meritorious service, and he was going to serve as prefect in another county. Therefore, Wang Junfang urged his father to marry me as soon as possible.For my father, it was really sleepy hitting the pillow, and he immediately agreed without thinking.He wants me to marry into the Wang family with the child in my womb, which is really crazy.He said: "If you don't tell, no one will know." Maybe, Lu Buwei did the same thing back then, and his son eventually became the king of Qin, and finally killed Lu Buwei.When my son grows up in the future, will Zigong die at his hands?I'm just thinking about it upstairs every day.What else can I do, maybe this is the only comfort left in my heart, my son-in-law is finally leaving me forever.I don't know who should be blamed for this, the beautiful husband in Xiaqiu County that the girls admire the most, and the man that the villains admire the most, finally wants to leave his hometown and go to Bian County to spend the rest of his life.

The date of marriage was getting closer, and I told my mother that I had to see my son-in-law for the last time.If I don't see it, I'm going to die.Mother was scared, she said to inquire and see what can be done. So I waited anxiously for news from my mother, but the answer was that there was no chance.When there were more than ten days before the official auspicious ceremony, I made a poisonous oath to my mother, if I could not see my son-in-law before I got in the carriage and left Lejia, I would never live. The threat finally worked, and I met Zigong the next night.
