Chapter 514: The "Frustrated" Young Marquis in a World of Female Dominance
Yes, Wei Shimu really didn’t want to give Jiang Qiu Shui a daughter.
But in reality, does it depend on him whether to have a baby or not? Whether Jiang Qiushui wants to have sex with him or let him eat the fertility fruit, can he still say no?
But I have never been pregnant.
You have to know that I gave birth to a son for Prince Jian, so the problem definitely does not lie with me.
Therefore, there is only one conclusion, that is Jiang Qiu Shui - no.
Luo Chengdong was stunned when he heard this, and forgot to put down the wooden stick that was raised high in his hand: What does Wei Shimu mean by this? Is he implying that A Shui is not good in that aspect?
Impossible, doesn’t Wei Shimu scream very loudly every night?
But thinking carefully about my daughter's increasingly frail body, could it be...
Luo Chengdong broke out in a cold sweat, not caring for a moment that Wei Shimu had dared to talk back to him. He threw the stick in his hand and said viciously:
"Nonsense! How could my daughter be incompetent? Hurry up and hang the clothes up. If the color is ruined, I'll make you look after yourself!"
There was no fixative for the clothes at this stage, and if they were not hung up quickly, they would soon become a mess. Hearing this, Wei Shimu also hurried to work.
Beatings aside, quarrels aside, life must go on—he still has his share in this pile of clothes. If it gets stained, a beating won't solve the problem.
Jiang Qiu Shui saw all of this clearly through the open window, and he was filled with hatred.
Of course, she knew better than anyone that the inability to conceive was not Wei Shimu's problem.
In his previous life, Wei Shimu gave Lu Lanzhi three daughters, and in this life, he also reportedly gave birth to a son. How could there be a problem? But if that were the case, it would mean that he himself might be infertile. How could that be possible?
But she certainly didn't leave any children in her previous life...there's no way to verify this.
And for some reason, my health has been getting worse recently.
She was powerless in bed, and was once again dominated by Wei... She even imitated the same methods she used to torture him in the past and took revenge on him.
Due to face, she couldn't tell this to anyone else, but she didn't expect that it would be almost exposed in front of her today.
As my thoughts raced, Luo Chengdong pushed the door open.
He closed the door tightly and said furtively, "Ah Shui, tell me what your son-in-law meant by what he said just now. Are you really..."
"Dad, what did you say?"
Jiang Qiushui's sallow face flushed red: "My daughter is fine."
Of course, the truth couldn't be told to Luo Chengdong. A daughter without fertility could be abandoned by the family at any moment.
"Oh, that's good, that's good!"
Luo Chengdong put his hand on his chest, visibly relieved. He believed his daughter's words without a doubt, and then he took out two still warm boiled eggs from his sleeve and secretly put them into Jiang Qiushui's hands.
"Eat quickly to replenish your body, and don't let your son-in-law see it, or he will snatch it away again."
Yes, all the members of the Jiang family firmly believed that Wei Shimu must have secretly snatched Jiang Qiu Shui's food, so he grew so fat.
Jiang Tianming and Luo Chengdong repeatedly criticized Wei Shimu for this, both openly and covertly.
Sometimes he was even not given any food during the day, but even so, the physical difference between the couple remained the same.
Jiang Qiu Shui didn't argue much, she just took the egg and stuffed it into her stomach in two or three bites - she just didn't believe that she couldn't gain some weight if she ate so much.
In the afternoon, Jiang Tianming came back from the blacksmith shop, starving.
When he opened the lid of the pot, he saw only a steamed bun and a bowl of warm water inside. The two eggs that he used to eat every noon to nourish his body were missing. His eyes couldn't help but dim.
It happened again. She knew without asking that the eggs must have been taken by Luo Chengdong to nourish Jiang Qiu Shui.
It’s not that she doesn’t love her daughter.
My daughter is getting thinner day by day, so it's only right that she should be given some supplements.
But sometimes she couldn't help but think that if the situation was reversed, and it was Father Jiang who was with her now, Father Jiang would definitely feel sorry for her hard work and would at least leave her an egg.
Father Jiang always treated her considerately and attentively in these little matters, and took her feelings into consideration.
But she used to be dismissive of these things, even disgusted with them. She felt that Jiang's father was not genuine and was always doing things to save face.
Unlike Luo Chengdong, he is straightforward and real.
But now she suddenly realized that this reality was sometimes not so cute.
For example, she was a dignified third-rank general, but she had fallen to the point where she could only rely on hard work to support her family. It was hard work, but supporting her family was her responsibility as a grown woman.
But couldn’t Luo Chengdong think about it? If he took the eggs away, would his wife go hungry?
He swallowed the steamed bun with the bowl of warm water in two or three mouthfuls. He saw that Jiang Qiu Shui's door was still closed and there was no one in the yard.
As if by some strange coincidence, Jiang Tianming walked to Jiang Qiu Shui's window, wanting to hear what the father and daughter were talking about.
"What? You want me to persuade your mother to go to Jiang Xinyue to plead for mercy?"
Luo Chengdong's voice rose several decibels, so that Jiang Tianming in the yard could hear it clearly:
"No, no, no."
"You forgot that our family cannot enter the city right now. If we are discovered or if Jiang Xinyue doesn't care about family ties, your mother will be arrested and imprisoned."
"so what?"
Jiang Qiushui's voice was cold and ruthless:
"Now our whole family is living in this barren village. What's the difference between this and being in prison?"
"Besides, all of this was caused by our mother. If I can atone for my sins and make amends, my mother should be grateful for giving her this opportunity."
"This……"
Luo Chengdong's voice became obviously hesitant:
"But she is your biological mother after all, and she has always doted on you..."
"Father, this is how Mother's life ended," Jiang Qiushui interrupted Luo Chengdong.
"But I'm still young. As long as my mother gives me a letter of severance, I can go and live with my sister. Why worry about not being able to make a comeback and carve out a career for myself?"
"When the time comes, I will be filial to my father and mother, and I will remember the kindness you showed me today."
Jiang Qiu Shui has thought about it carefully during this period.
Since she had been reincarnated, everything had gone wrong. She could no longer sit idly by and wait for death; she had to take the initiative to do something to change the situation. Thinking carefully, the worst outcome was that the current empress was also a reincarnated person like her.
But even so, he came here in his previous life after her death.
There was no personal grudge between her and the Queen, so everything that happened today could only be a coincidence, and she couldn't scare herself.
What's the point of her wearing it again if she doesn't do anything?
Her sonorous and passionate words finally touched Luo Chengdong's fatherly heart, and Luo Chengdong said with emotion:
"Okay. In that case, I will definitely help you fulfill your son's wish. Don't worry, I'll talk to your mother when she gets home from work."
"Father, I'm not going to talk to you nicely. I have to convince Mother to agree to this."
Jiang Qiu Shui was still a little worried.
"Okay, okay, don't worry. Don't you see who your father is..."
