Farm Girl's Manor-Chapter 1375: Extra Eleven: Beating

Cui Qingrou’s pregnancy was a rare joyous occasion for the Mo Family, and for the Cui family, it was an immensely joyous event.

When the aging Old Lady Cui learned that her daughter, nearly thirty and declared childless by renowned doctors, was actually pregnant, the huge surprise caused the weathered old woman to faint.

After a commotion, Old Lady Cui regained consciousness, slapped the bed, and sat up with fervor, saying excitedly to the maid who came forward to attend to her, "Quick, quick, help me change my clothes, I must go see Rourou myself."

With an amused smile amidst tears, Grand Master Cui who was looking after his mother, quickly dissuaded her, "Mother, it’s already late, it’s not suitable to visit Qingqing now. How about Sunger takes you there early tomorrow?"

Looking at the lit lanterns in the room, Old Lady Cui realized it was already dark and nodded reluctantly, "Then let it be tomorrow! Your sister is frail, later on send someone to the storeroom to pick some nourishing medicinal herbs."

Grand Master Cui nodded and added another matter, "The niece who married into the Xiao Family is also pregnant. Last night, while celebrating Qingqing’s birthday, she too was found to be with child by the doctor alongside Qingqing."

Old Lady Cui was startled, then laughed and said, "I didn’t expect that mother and daughter would have such a fate. Your brother-in-law is indeed doubly blessed, to become both a father and a grandfather. Not everyone is blessed with such fortune! Send a portion of those nourishing medicinal herbs to that girl as well, just like the ones for Rourou."

"Yes, Mother!" Grand Master Cui respectfully replied before speaking with a sense of emotion, "Speaking of which, it’s thanks to this niece that Qingqing can have a child. If it weren’t for her curing Qingqing’s hidden ailment, Qingqing would never have had the chance to become a mother."

Old Lady Cui was taken aback and quickly grasped the implication from her eldest son, quickly asking, "What do you mean by that? Your sister’s pregnancy is related to that girl?"

Struck on the head by a huge surprise, Old Lady Cui temporarily forgot to ask how her daughter, declared childless for life by famous doctors, could suddenly become pregnant.

As Grand Master Cui was about to speak, realizing there were several maids in the room, he shut his mouth and gave his mother a meaningful look.

Old Lady Cui thoughtfully waved the maids away.

Once sure no one was eavesdropping, Grand Master Cui forthrightly told his mother the reason behind his sister’s pregnancy, concluding with a sigh, "It’s no wonder this girl won The Emperor’s and the Crown Prince’s favor; just her character alone is admirable. If she were a boy, she would certainly have a great destiny!"

By the end, his demeanor carried a hint of regret. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Old Lady Cui stared at her eldest son, speechless. If it hadn’t been for the daughter herself, and now her son recounting the fact, she would have never believed there could be a stepdaughter so genuinely kind to her stepmother, painstakingly taking care of her health and even enabling her to conceive!

Didn’t this girl ever think that if the stepmother had her own child, she would not be devoted to them wholeheartedly, that their father’s heart would shift to the unborn child, and that they might even lose favor?

Is this girl naive, or just has a big heart!

Watching his mother’s unusual expression, Grand Master Cui inexplicably felt a weird sense of pleasure inside. After learning the real reason his sister could conceive, he too was stunned for quite a while, finding it unimaginable that such a kind stepdaughter existed in this world.

He had strongly supported the marriage alliance with the Mo Family initially because his brother-in-law was indeed a reliable person, worthy of his sister for the rest of her life, and the Mo Family’s children had good characters. Even if they didn’t accept his sister, it was unlikely they would mistreat her. Perhaps, knowing she could not have children and thus not pose a threat, they might treat her genuinely for her sake.

Indeed, everything turned out as he hoped, even better than expected. His sister, now a stepmother in the Mo Family, was very happy; this could be seen from the increasingly frequent smiles on her face.

He felt consoled and glad for his sister. Although he didn’t have particularly strong affection for his sister’s stepchildren, just to make his sister’s life more comfortable, he did what an uncle should do. He was civil on the surface, but never considered the children his true nieces and nephews.

However, learning about his niece’s deeds, he felt as if he had been firmly slapped in the face. Those children treated his sister like their birth mother, and his so-called "civility" was hollow and insincere.
