Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 284 - 282

Chapter 284: 282

"Someone, escort Madam Lai back to the Zhu Mansion! Once the divorce letter is written by Young Master Lai, we will send it over! We, Lai Mansion, cannot afford such a Madam Lai!" Madam Lai originally wanted to teach her granddaughter-in-law a lesson and given the current situation, without giving it any more thought, she directly instructed to escort her back to her maiden home!

"Madam, I’ve been wronged! You all are aware that I’m always straightforward and speak my mind! I harbor no bad intentions! How could you believe the words of an outsider, instead of believing me! She is trying to remove obstacles for her cousin! The real person who wants our Lai family to end its lineage is Mrs. Liu! My mother had someone calculate for me at the temple once, I was bound to carry a son in my third pregnancy, but just because she got married and came over when I was about to give birth, she stole my good fortune, and turned my son into a daughter! We are the oldest branch and I gave birth to the eldest grandson, my son is the destined future head of our house! The Master said that she stole my fortune and terminated our eldest branch’s lineage, so if that is the case, then her son could inherit the family head position!"

Listening to this, Xiao’er didn’t know what to say. Was this not akin to the proverb ’There is no silver hidden here, especially not three hundred taels’?

Wanting others to end their lineage because she wished for it in her mind? Yet, attributing it in such a bizarre way!

Stealing her fortune and transforming her son into a daughter? What kind of concept was this?

Please, can she be a bit more logical?! Can anyone truly steal her fortune and transform her son into a daughter? If so, she would kneel to them!

"What nonsense!" Madam Lai was angry after hearing this! How could Mrs. Zhu, a woman from a scholarly family, believe in such illogical theory!

Furthermore, by the sound of her speech, she actually resents the second branch and even desires to end its lineage.

"Talking complete nonsense!" Madam Lai wished she could stuff a cloth into Zhu’s mouth to stop her nonsense!

This was an explicit attempt to incite conflict between them and the second branch.

The second branch had never thought about competing for the family head position! How could she be so foolish as to not see the reality!

"Madam, please believe me, I didn’t believe it at first either, but the fact that Mrs. Liu gave birth to triplets, two of which are sons, is the best proof! My son has ended up with her! She got pregnant not long after she came in, and just as she found out she was pregnant, I gave birth to Yue’er! She must have stolen my blessing to bear sons! Otherwise, how could a woman of humble origin be better than me who was born with a..."

Madam Lai stepped forward and slapped her to stop her from speaking: "Shut your mouth!"

"Mother, you actually hit me?!" Madam Lai’s face was filled with disbelief!

She had promised her mother to treat her as her own daughter!

Which mother would hit her own daughter?!

Besides, they were all from the first branch and they should stand together against the enemy!

If Madam Lai knew her thoughts, she might have slapped her again!

"Not only will I hit you today, but I will also make my son divorce you!" Madam Lai was so angry that her face turned green! The noble and graceful image she had maintained for decades was ruined because of her anger.

"Did you not hear what I said? Quickly send Mrs. Zhu back to the Zhu family!" When Madam Lai saw that the servants were not moving, she was furious.

She was now directly calling her Mrs. Zhu in front of the servants. She was not deserving of the title Madam Lai!

"Yes, Madam!" Several maids and old women rushed forward to support Madam Lai.

"No! I won’t go back! I didn’t violate any grave rules, you can’t divorce me! I won’t go back..."

As her cries gradually faded away, Madam Lai and Madam Lai rushed to apologize to Xiao’er, Mrs. Tan, and Mrs. Liu with a smiley face.

They also took the opportunity to let this matter go as it was all for the sake of making Jingshu’s life easier, and this matter should be buried.

Besides, since the situation escalated to sending someone back to their maiden home, and even talking about divorce, if they still didn’t let it go, that would mean they were the ones being unreasonable.

After such a commotion, Xiao’er saw that Jingshu’s face was even paler.

Lai Zhewei also noticed, he hurriedly supported her shoulders with both hands. "Jingshu, do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"

Jingshu didn’t know what to say. How could she mention that she feels a lot of blood leaking from her lower body.

"Cousin, do you feel like you are bleeding a lot?"

Liu Jingshu nodded.

Hearing these words, Madam Lai turned her head and saw Liu Jingshu’s pale face, she was so frightened that she called out loudly, "Bring the doctor immediately."

Mrs. Lai also guessed the situation and her face lost color: "The imperial doctor is waiting in the front yard. Hurry! Go and see if he’s left."

The imperial doctor had not left and was called immediately.

After he finished checking her pulse, Lai Zhewei rushed over and asked anxiously, "Doctor, is Jingshu okay?"

"There is a sign of heavy bleeding. Firstly, take some medicine and make sure to rest. You must not be subjected to any stimulation."

Lai Zhewei quickly nodded and thought to himself: once Jingshu finishes her confinement period after childbirth, he will move out and never let anyone upset her again.

"Is there a risk of any lingering complications?" Mrs. Tan asked.

Heavy bleeding after childbirth in women usually leaves after-effects.

Even though their daughter now has both a son and daughter, who doesn’t hope for more children?

Sigh! What kind of situation is this! Got involved in an unnecessary dispute! Big families indeed have a lot of disputes. It’s regrettable that they let their daughter marry here. Mrs Tan felt a little relieved when she turned her head to see Lai Zhe taking care of Jingshu’s blanket by her side.

Madam Lai blushed when she heard this, it was all caused by her daughter-in-law! How can she face the second branch in the future!

Xiao’er let the doctor help her examine the triplets. After hearing from the doctor that all three children were healthy, everyone was relieved.

Liu Jingshu needed to rest, so Xiao’er gave a bottle of medicine pills and a bottle of rejuvenation pills to Lai Zhewei. She told him to feed Liu Jingshu regularly and then said goodbye.

On the way back, Mrs. Liu asked Xiao’er, "Xiao’er, do you think Mrs. Zhu will be divorced?"

"Hard to say, the Zhu family is a well-educated family and will do their best to stop this. Because the Zhu family cannot afford to lose this many people!" After thinking about it, Xiao’er said.

"That’s true, even an ordinary family wouldn’t simply divorce their wife. If she is not divorced, and Jingshu has to meet such a person every day, how can she live a comfortable life!" Mrs. Liu was worried again when she thought of this.

What she feared the most was that Zhu would harm the triplets.

"You don’t have to worry about it, mother. I estimate after Jingshu finishes her confinement, cousin-in-law will probably move out of the Lai Mansion." Just like before, when their second branch was staying in Shengping County to avoid suspicion.

Now Lai Zhewei is working in the Imperial Capital, and only returned to the Lai Mansion to stay because he had no choice. Now, after such an incident, doesn’t he have an excuse to move out?

"That’s a good thing! Zhewei is a capable guy, he doesn’t have to stare at the inherited family property. No amount of wealth and honor is as good as living a comfortable life. Besides, it’s more satisfying to use the wealth you have earned yourself!"

"Mother, you are indeed wise!" Xiao’er thought of her fourth Aunt also coming to the Imperial Capital, and so asked: "Why did fourth Aunt also come to the Imperial Capital? And did my Uncle come along?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu sighed, "It’s all because of that drama stirred up by your grandmother."
