Chapter 579 Doubt
"Tiger was just sent away today, and this woman has disappeared in the mountains. Isn't that too much of a coincidence?"
"Probably not, sir. She's pregnant, with such a big belly, it's hard for her to walk, let alone keep up with us two brothers. It'll be difficult. We brothers walk fast, and even a normal woman would have to jog to keep up with us, let alone a woman with a big belly."
Uncle Qi shook his head, "Our affairs cannot afford the slightest mistake; it's always better to be cautious."
The tall man thought for a moment and said with certainty, "Definitely not. We went there and came back without seeing anyone. The place where Xiao Du fell is on a completely different mountain from the one we took. She doesn't have any skills, so it's impossible for her to be that agile."
"There's another point. If she really comes with us, she'll probably be discovered. Even if my brother and I aren't very skilled, what about the brothers guarding the mountain outside? They're incredibly skilled. Ordinary people are no match for them, and it's impossible for anything to happen to them right under their noses."
Uncle Qi was very satisfied with this statement. He might not trust the man himself, but he trusted the mountain guardian. "That's right, even if you didn't find it, there are still people guarding outside. They will definitely find it."
"of course."
Uncle Qi stopped worrying after thinking about this. This was the Crown Prince's woman, and nothing could go wrong with her. Besides... his third sister-in-law, that fool, didn't know yet.
It seems I need to remind my third brother's wife to keep a close eye on this woman tomorrow.
Du Mingxian took a nap, knowing that Uncle Qi would be suspicious, so she used her feet as an excuse and didn't go out for two days.
That day, Du Mingxian was still inside the house, while Da Hua and her third aunt were chatting outside.
"Mother, I think this young Du has fair skin and delicate features, she must be from a wealthy family. I wonder whose child she's carrying. After the baby is born, why don't we marry her off to my village?"
“There is a wealthy man in my hometown village who has a mentally challenged son. He is his only son, and many women want to marry him, but none of them can stand the fact that the mentally challenged son beats them. So, no matter how much money they offer, no one is willing to go. I think Xiao Du is a good match.”
Auntie's eyes flickered, clearly tempted. "Is this feasible? Families like this only want daughters from respectable families. Xiao Du has already had a child; she's obviously not clean."
"Mother, what's the big deal? Little Du is pregnant, which proves she's fertile. Besides, look how beautiful she is. Selling her to the wealthy man's family can earn them a lot of money."
Third Aunt waved her hand, "This person was sent over by your Aunt Bai, so it's clear that your grandfather asked her to keep an eye on him. We can't afford any mistakes. We'll talk about the rest later; it's definitely not an option right now."
"Mother, you didn't listen to Aunt Bai. The important thing isn't Xiao Du, but the child in Xiao Du's belly. Everyone wants that child in her belly. After she gives birth, she'll be worthless."
"Xiao Du has been raised in our family for so long, whether she stays or leaves in the future is entirely up to her mother."
Third Aunt was really tempted. "Okay, I'll ask your Aunt Bai about this later. Let's see if Aunt Bai and the others still want her after she gives birth. If they don't, we'll sell her to that rich man's family you mentioned and make some money."
"Mother is really amazing. Whatever she says goes. There's definitely no problem. Grandpa makes all the decisions in the village. You're his only daughter-in-law."
Da Hua became very proud when she talked about this. "My eldest aunt and second aunt both died young, and my eldest and second uncles are busy all day long and have no plans to remarry. You are their only daughter-in-law, so Grandpa will definitely favor you."
Auntie San was very pleased with these words. Years ago, she had no family background and was an only child. She begged her way to this village and met the child's father.
Back then, her eldest and second sisters-in-law were so glamorous and beautiful, which she envied. Unfortunately, both of them died young.
"You're lucky to have married into our family. Look at your cousins, some are dead, some are injured. And your wife died after you married into the family. That's really bad luck."
Da Hua was also proud, "To be honest, of the three families, our family has the most members. Grandpa should live with us, but Uncle took the lead and his family got all the benefits."
Sensing her daughter-in-law's dissatisfaction, the third aunt hurriedly nudged her gently, saying, "Don't say such things again. Some things are best kept to ourselves; it's not good to spread them around."
"Mother, I'm just saying this in our own home. How could I dare to spread it around? This is definitely not allowed," Da Hua hurriedly explained when she saw her third aunt's serious expression.
"Good to know, but you have to be careful what you say. You can't just say whatever comes to mind, or you might offend someone without even realizing it."
"My daughter-in-law knows."
Third Aunt said again, "What you said about Xiao Du has reminded me. If your grandfather doesn't agree to sell Xiao Du to the wealthy family in your mother's village, I will introduce Xiao Du to your second cousin."
"Second cousin?" Da Hua's eyes lit up. "Second cousin married twice, and both wives are gone. If Xiao Du marries into that family, Uncle will still have to remember Mother's favor."
"Yes." Auntie was extremely proud, but she still didn't forget to instruct her daughter-in-law, "You've been spending a lot of time with Xiao Du lately, so it's best not to let her go out alone. Your uncle instructed me to."
"Mother, who exactly is she? I see everyone is paying a lot of attention to her."
"It's the baby in your belly, so you don't need to worry."
"Oh, I understand. I'll be fine."
Third Aunt gently patted Da Hua's shoulder, "Alright, you just need to take good care of my grandson as he grows up. Once he's born, you'll be our family's number one hero."
"Don't worry, Mother, I will definitely give you a healthy and chubby grandson."
"now it's right."
Du Mingxian heard everything clearly from inside the room. Thinking about the scheming between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she felt extremely disgusted. She used to think that Da Hua was a good person, but she didn't expect them to be the same.
