Chapter 928: Value in Use
sparsely populated, yet even with that, it has a permanent population of one and a half million. Currently, one-fifth of the people have evacuated, while two-thirds are trapped at home. The rest have...Even her own heart was anxious, so she went to the clinic by herself to see a doctor. The result was that the doctor told her that when she was young, she had hurt her body and never recovered. When she was a girl, she also ate something cold that caused her to have a very low chance of getting pregnant. If she took good care of herself, she might still be able to have a son or daughter, but if she didn't take good care of herself, it would affect her lifespan.
The original left the clinic in a daze. Only then did she realize that her infertility wasn't as simple as it seemed, there was a reason behind it.
While she had been married for two years and lived with her mother-in-law, she had witnessed some of the hidden secrets in the backyard. She was certain that the cold winter illness she suffered came from when she was at Hou Mansion. After all, the farm produced everything they consumed, and she ate simple fare. Where else could she have gotten the cold winter illness
The original owner was enraged and, accompanied by her maid, Cherry Blossom, returned to the An Ding Hou Mansion. Because of her rashness, she was never allowed to leave the mansion again.
The original body's good younger sister had been raised for two years, and now that she was healed, she wanted to call the original body back, each going their separate ways. As a result, the original body came to her doorstep, so she put on the original body's clothes and took cherries back to Lin Mansion, reclaiming her identity.
Xue Lianyi got her identity back, but to ensure there would be no future trouble, Madam Hou had someone destroy the original's face. After all, having two identical faces appear at the same time would definitely raise suspicion. Then, they sent the original back to the estate to be watched over again.
Tell the outside world that the original owner suffered losses in the power struggles within her husband's household after marriage, had her appearance disfigured, and was thus divorced and returned. Now, she can only continue to be supported by the Dowager Madam of the Marquis.
The original person was very unwilling, and in the two months after she was imprisoned, she discovered that she was pregnant. It is estimated that when she went to the clinic at that time, she had just become pregnant, and the month was too shallow, so the doctor did not feel her pulse.
For the sake of her child, she had become strong, quietly staying at the manor to raise her baby. She still hoped that one day she could return to Lin Yaodzu's side.
As her belly grew bigger day by day, her pregnancy could no longer be concealed. When the news was sent back to the Marquis's mansion, the Marquise went to see her youngest daughter.
Her youngest daughter was also pregnant at this time, but only a month behind the original body. When she learned that the original body was also pregnant, her eyes became even more gloomy, and then she came up with another plan.
"Mother, you must ensure my sister's child is safe. If this child of mine is a girl, she will be treated as a boy, and we can then pretend to have switched them."
After some thought, Madam Hou didn't object. After all, the child was originally from the Lin family. If this could resolve her daughter's predicament, it would be a good thing.
Although your mother-in-law hasn't said anything directly, you can tell she highly values this child in your womb. If you manage to give birth to a legitimate son, you'll be able to firmly establish yourself within the Duke's household.
Once you get the authority, Lin Yaizu's backyard will be under your control.
For her own little daughter, Madam Hou is truly a loving and caring mother.
"I also hope this baby is a son, so I don't have to raise someone else's child."
Unfortunately, sometimes things don't go as planned. The original owner gave birth to a son after ten months of pregnancy.
After hearing the news, the original body's sister immediately took birth-inducing medicine and then pretended to have a conflict with Lin Yaozu's most favored concubine. She fell down and went into premature labor.
As a result, she gave birth to a daughter. The Countess, accompanied by the midwife, immediately switched the child and then made Lin Yaozou have an heir.
Technically speaking, Madam Hou shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter. After all, the mother and daughter had already conspired. Madam Hou feigned concern and brought a midwife over, claiming she had found a skilled one to ensure her daughter's peace of mind during childbirth.
When Mrs. Hou was still chatting with her in-laws in the front yard, news came from the back yard that their daughter had been pushed by a concubine and went into premature labor. She immediately put on a stern face and, accompanied by the midwife, took over the delivery room.
Although the Lady of the Minister was furious, she knew she was in the wrong. The inner courtyard was under her jurisdiction, and to let a concubine disrespect the legitimate wife was something even a mother couldn't bear. Moreover, the daughter-in-law's quick pregnancy with a son had eased the anger in the Lady of the Minister's heart.
That concubine was naturally sold. Lin Yaizu rushed home and learned that he had a son, becoming even more overjoyed. He couldn't close his mouth from smiling. As for the favored concubine, she had long been forgotten by him.
Up to this point, all the original's value had been squeezed dry, and then was slaughtered by his own cruel sister on a dark and stormy night. The entire village was left to suffer the fate of being raided by bandits.
Her former self died full of resentment, so she was unwilling to be reborn. She lingered by her younger sister's side for three years, drifting about aimlessly until she finally understood the truth. Just as she was about to turn into a vengeful spirit and seek revenge on her sister, she discovered that her sister had attacked her own son.
The original self, with their soul and spirit scattered, died protecting their son from a calamity. Afterward, they dissipated completely. Due to overwhelming resentment, they couldn't be reborn, which led to this mission.
After Ripples received the original's memories, it said to the stone mill:
"What was that Taoist doing Is there anyone who could be so wicked"
That's a con man.
"From the whole situation, I think the original person was the most innocent. However, I also feel that Lin Ya-zu had some problems."
"What's the problem"
Even if two people look exactly alike, there will always be differences. I've lived with him for two whole years, how could he not feel it I don't believe he can't even tell the difference between his own companion.
Ripples said disdainfully.
"Your analysis makes a lot of sense."
What is the original body's wish
"First, no more repeating the tragedies of past lives. Secure her position as the mistress of the Minister's Residence and ensure that her son becomes the rightful heir. Second, make sure her younger sister never achieves this."
"It's a bit of a hassle, and I also have to give birth."
Lan Ri wrinkled his brow.
"The original soul had scattered its essence to protect its son from a calamity in the past life, but it still couldn't escape the schemes of its own sister. Two years later, she finally gave birth to her own son and naturally didn't want to raise the child of the original body, especially since he was already occupying the position of the legitimate heir."
In the end, the child still died. He only knew when he died that it was his own mother who had harmed him, so his resentment grew heavier and heavier. He didn't reincarnate and wandered on earth, watching his mother love his brother so much, which caused him great pain.
Since this fulfills the original owner's wish, I will make that child your son. You can put on a show then, and when it comes time for the birth, I'll help you cover it up.
The stone mill knew that Lian Ri was a cultivator, and the thunder attribute cultivation technique she practiced required her to keep herself pure. It was impossible for her to become pregnant and give birth for someone else, so this proposal was made.
If that's the case, then there's no problem.
Even the ripples let out a sigh of relief, after all, having a child pushed some boundaries.
She, Ripples Ancestor, is a woman of virtue and focus. She doesn't even have an ambiguous romantic interest, let alone feelings. How could she possibly be intimate with Lin Yaizu, that scoundrel They can pretend for the sake of acting, but if things got real, she fears she might accidentally strangle him.
"Rest assured, Taskmaster. This plane does have spiritual energy, though it is very faint. It is enough for you to draw qi into your body and open up space."
The stone mill spoke immediately.
This plane is slowly evolving into a cultivation plane. Although it's in its early stages, it's quite convenient for taskers to operate.les, the Qiao family's patriarch looked at the tender little girl holding a black kitten in her arms, raised his bushy eyebrows, and gestured for Qiao Zongzhu to explain.Facing his own ancestors, Qiao...
