Chapter 247 Outer Room
Chapter 247 Outer Room
"Calm down, how can I calm down? Listen to what she said. Ha, no wonder I haven't seen her man in the past two years. Is he a wild man? Our Zhou family is losing face because of this man. He has a legal wife and you still want to give birth to his children. Tell me what's in your mind? It would be fine if you were a concubine, but I don't think you are a concubine, right?"
When Zhou Ning said this, he actually hit the nail on the head. Zhou Daya's crying voice suddenly choked. Seeing her reaction, Zhou Ning knew that he had hit the nail on the head. He laughed out of anger and pointed at Zhou Daya with a sinister smile.
"You are really not even a concubine?"
Zhou Daya was not justified but still felt strong: "So what if I'm not a concubine? Being a concubine still means you have to look after the wife. I live in a courtyard by myself now, I'm free and happy, and I don't have to set rules in front of the wife. If I really went into the mansion to be his concubine, how could I have this child in my belly?"
Zhou Ning's fingers were shaking with anger as he listened to her shameless remarks.
"How could you degenerate to this point? Being a concubine is at least a status, but that man is unwilling to give you that status, and you are willing to be his mistress? Do you know the laws of Dajing? A mistress' son has no inheritance rights. So what if you give birth to a child? He has a wife from a famous family, and you, a daughter of a peasant, are nothing more than a toy for him at most. What? Do you still hope that he will marry you after the child is born?"
Zhou Daya really thought so. She didn't know what Li Xu said to her. Anyway, she now firmly believed that as long as she gave birth to a child for Li Xu, Li Xu would definitely make her a co-wife. It can only be said that Zhou Daya has brains, but it is all love-brained. She can be coaxed around by a man with a few sweet words.
Gu Fengyun looked at Zhou Daya kneeling on the ground and felt that this woman was truly pitiful. When he went to the Li Residence to pay his condolences today, no one in the Li Residence spoke except the wife of the head of the household.
He didn't know who Li Xu's wife was, but he was sure that she was at least smarter than Zhou Daya and wouldn't just cry and beg.
Gu Fengyun cast a pitying look at the woman on the ground and asked her in a cold tone, "Do you know why Li Xu's wife refused to come to me for him?"
Zhou Daya was stunned, then she said proudly: "That's because Li Lang and she have been together for a long time. Girls from aristocratic families are always selfish and arrogant. She is proud of her noble status, so how could she lower herself to protect Li Lang?"
Everyone was completely silent after hearing this. They all thought that Li Xu was really eloquent and could trick Zhou Daya into believing such nonsense.
Gu Fengyun was even more speechless. He felt that even if Li Xu himself was here, he would also be very speechless.
"If you were Li Xu's real wife, you wouldn't have come to beg me today. I don't know if she's smart or not, but she has the entire Fanyang Lu family as her backing. If she wanted to, it's just a theft crime, and the Lu family members came forward, the Jingzhao prefect would give her a face. However, the people who arrested Li Xu now are the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice arrests people either because they have evidence or because they are following the emperor's orders. Guess which one it was that led to Li Xu's arrest?"
Zhou Daya was stared at by Gu Fengyun. Before she could react, Gu Fengyun waved his hand, and several secret guards in tight clothes jumped out from the surroundings.
Pointing at the three people on the ground, Gu Fengyun casually said, "Send them away. If she still wants to yell and refuse to leave, then tie her up and put her in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. She and Li Xu will be a pair of mandarin ducks living together. It just so happens that there is another child in her belly, so the family can be reunited down there."
Gu Fengyun spoke casually, but the three people on the ground felt cold all over. Zhou Daya seemed to realize at this moment that Gu Fengyun was a powerful person. In the eyes of a powerful person, her life as a commoner was like grass, and she was an ant that could be crushed to death at any time.
She was so blinded by greed that she actually dared to yell at a marquis and tried to use her usual tactics of throwing a tantrum to force Gu Fengyun to let her man go.
Now Gu Fengyun said lightly that he would send their family to be reunited. Zhou Daya was so frightened that her legs went limp and her stomach was so tight that it even hurt.
The maids and servants were so weak that they could not stand up. The secret guard at the side just touched Zhou Daya's shoulder, and Zhou Daya cried out and fell to the side. Her body felt hot, as if some liquid was flowing out.
The maid initially thought that Zhou Daya was pretending, and cursed in her heart why this woman was still pretending at this time. The secret guard also frowned and reached out to grab her, but Zhou Daya's body was heavy and he almost lost his grip. Zhou Daya almost fell to the ground again. Fortunately, the maid still had some conscience and stepped forward to help her up.
But soon, everyone realized that Zhou Daya was not just yelling nonsense, she really had a stomachache. Zhou Ning had been staring at Zhou Daya and could tell at a glance that Zhou Daya's expression was not fake. When he glanced at the ground, he immediately screamed: "She's bleeding!"
The word "bleeding" made Gu Fengyun and others who were already halfway there turn back. Gu Fengyun looked at the blood that was constantly flowing from Zhou Daya's body, and his face became terribly gloomy.
"what happened?"
"My Lord, she was already bleeding when I caught her."
Zhou Ning quickly invited Song Amao and Song Qinshi to come over. They could tell at a glance that Zhou Daya was about to give birth. Song Amao glanced at the snow on the ground and couldn't help shaking her head.
"There's still snow on the ground. The girl from the Zhou family is so pregnant and yet she dares to kneel in the snow for so long. Isn't this asking for trouble?"
"What should we do now? She's about to give birth, where can we find an empty house for her right now?"
Not to mention that Zhou Daya came to the Song family to demand an explanation, the Song family would definitely not let her give birth in their own home. The maid next to her also saw this, and her remaining conscience made her plead for Zhou Daya.
"Can you please help my wife find a place to give birth? She is only eight months pregnant!"
When they heard that it was only eight months, everyone present looked even uglier. They all said that the baby might not survive, so it would be fine if it was born. But if it wasn't, who knows how the Zhou family would resent the Song family. This was clearly a sign of enmity, and it was even more impossible for the Song family to let Zhou Daya give birth in the Song family.
But they couldn't find an empty house for her at the moment. Besides, giving birth requires more than just one room. A lot of things need to be prepared. They definitely didn't have the bedding for the baby to be born, and it was impossible for Zhou Daya to carry those things around with her. Now she was bleeding, and this pregnancy might be very dangerous. It might end in two deaths.
