482 Background, Collecting the Shophouse (1)
Miss Wang foolishly thought that with a child, she could win back Shen Pingxiu’s heart.
Madam Wang knew that the woman was right. Without any children, Madam Chen could still tolerate her Miss in the back residence of the Shen family. However, once her Miss was pregnant, Madam Chen would definitely not let her off.
Unfortunately, Miss Wang refused to listen to her advice and stubbornly wanted a child.
The next day, she went to look for that woman and begged her to help.
The woman said, “Everything in the world is predestined. Letting a person who shouldn’t exist appear is a heaven-defying act. If I help you, you’ll owe me some karma and need your child to repay it. Are you sure you won’t regret it?”
Miss Wang said that she had no regrets.
Not long after she left the Hidden Spirit Temple, Miss Wang was indeed pregnant. She went to Hidden Spirit Temple to thank that woman, but that woman never appeared again.
It wasn’t until the day she gave birth that the woman suddenly appeared in the delivery room in September.
She coerced the midwife to help Miss Wang deliver the child, so that the child could be born safely.
“Thank you, divine doctor, for saving us.” Miss Wang wanted to get out of bed and kowtow to her.
The woman stopped her and looked at the newborn child. “You don’t have to thank me. I’m just saving my own child.”
Before leaving, she placed a box in her swaddling cloth and said, “I hope you won’t regret it.”
Miss Wang did not take her words to heart, but Madam Wang felt that something was wrong.
This was clearly Miss’s child.
When they saw Shen Yijia’s appearance this time, they seemed to have an explanation.
Although Madam Wang did not understand why this had happened, she knew that Madam Song, who was now Second Miss Shen, was not her Miss’s child.
Was this what the divine doctor had said to Miss? “You need your child to repay the karma you owe.”
Where did her young lady’s child go?
Xuanyuan Ce had always known that Ji Luo had many unknown abilities, but he could not figure out how his daughter became the second daughter of the Shen family.
After leaving the Wang family’s small courtyard, his heart was in turmoil, and he could not calm down for a long time.
Xuanyuan Ce’s fingers trembled under his sleeves. That girl was really his daughter, right?
He thought of what Shen Yijia had said when she confronted the Shen family in the court.
His daughter should have been precious and pampered by everyone, but she was living worse than a servant in the Shen family.
“Your Highness?” Chu Feng’s voice sounded.
Only then did Xuanyuan Ce realize that he was standing in front of the Song residence.
The door of the residence was half-closed. From time to time, laughter could be heard.
“Your Highness, do you want me to knock on the door?” Chu Feng asked.
He was confused the entire time. He felt that he understood, but he also felt that he did not understand anything. However, from His Highness’s attitude, it was obvious that he had confirmed something.
Xuanyuan Ce opened his mouth. Coincidentally, the half-closed door was opened from the inside. A little girl stuck her head out and asked, “Uncle, who are you looking for?”
When Xuanyuan Ce came to their house, Sister Huan and the others had all gone to the academy, so they did not know that the person who helped them was Xuanyuan Ce.
“I was just passing by.” Xuanyuan Ce turned around and got into the carriage.
Seeing this, Chu Feng could only drive the carriage away.
Before confirming it, Xuanyuan Ce wanted to acknowledge Shen Yijia as soon as he found evidence.
However, before he reached the door, he retreated.
“I don’t hate him. He’s not worthy of my hatred. However, not only did he betray my mother, but he also caused her death. Therefore, I want to avenge my mother.”
“You clearly promised to treat my mother well for the rest of your life, but you married someone else.”
“Doesn’t manslaughter count as murder? Whatever the reason, it’s a fact that my mother died because of him.”
Shen Yijia’s theory of revenge was still vivid in his mind.
She had grown up by Shen Pingxiu’s side. For the sake of Madam Wang, she wanted to take revenge on Shen Pingxiu.
He didn’t know what would happen if she knew that he was her biological father, but he did not even know about her birth.
And what happened back then…
She would probably hate him even more.
“Sister Huan, is your brother back?” Shen Yijia’s voice came from the courtyard.
Sister Huan glanced at the departing carriage and scratched her head before closing the door again. “It’s not Big Brother. It’s that white-haired uncle.”
“Beautiful uncle? Then invite him in.” Shen Yijia was helping Mo Yuan crush the medicinal herbs and did not look up.
He did not notice that Mo Yuan had paused.
“He said he was passing by. He’s already gone.”
“Oh.” Shen Yijia did not mind. She looked at Mo Yuan and said, “When the pill is ready, get Sister Huan to bring it to Madam Qiu.”
She did not want to go. She was afraid that if she interacted with Madam Qiu too much, she would not be able to help but want to save her with the spiritual liquid.
