Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

Looking at the luxurious furnishings in her daughter's room, Yu Suqin's eyes rolled around, and finally her gaze stopped on Yu Qiutao's dressing table.

She strode forward, picked up the red gold flower on the table and put it in her arms. She wanted to open Yu Qiutou's dressing box, but was held back by Yu Qiutou.

"Mom, these things were given to me by the old lady. You can't take them. If the old lady asks about them, I won't be able to explain." Yu Qiutou said hurriedly.

Yu Suqin curled her lips indifferently, and her eyes immediately caught sight of a pair of jade hooks hanging on the curtain. This thing was worth a lot of money.

She stepped forward and pulled hard, and the curtain immediately fell down.

Seeing that she was going to take a vase with exquisite patterns in the room, Yu Qiutao was so angry that her heart, liver, spleen and lungs ached. She hurriedly went forward and hugged the vase and refused to let go.

"Mom, you can't take this. Big items are all recorded in the steward's book."

Yu Suqin didn't care about all these things. During this period, debt collectors came to her house every day and even the only pot in the house was taken away.

Seeing her daughter holding the vase tightly, Yu Suqin became more certain that the thing was valuable. She pushed Yu Qiutao away, wrapped the vase in her clothes and ran out the door.

"Ah!" Yu Qiutao felt a sharp pain in her abdomen and could not bear it. She could only moan.

The maid hurried into the room and saw Yu Qiutao sitting on the ground holding her stomach.

When Yu Xunmei arrived, the midwife had already gone in to deliver the baby.

After listening to the maid's narration, Yu Xun raised her eyebrows, with a hint of anger on her face, "This shallow-minded guy, go and tell the steward who let the person in, tie him up and beat him up first, and if anything happens to Aunt Tao's pregnancy, let him be buried with her."

"Tell him to control the people below. Not just anybody can enter the Yu Mansion."

The maid responded respectfully, "Yes, I will go and tell the steward right away."

Inside the house, Yu Qiutao's cries of pain grew louder and louder, and basins of blood were constantly being brought out. Yu Xunmei took a few steps back and covered her nose with a handkerchief in disgust.

Madam Yu came hurriedly, supported by her maid. She glanced at Yu Xunmei who was standing in the corridor with a bad look, then stepped into the house.

After a while, Mrs. Yu came out.

She slowly walked towards Yu Xunmei, not concealing the ferocity and fleeting murderous intent in her eyes.

"If anything happens to Aunt Tao's child, I will definitely not let you go!"

Yu Xunmei did not miss the murderous intent in her eyes, "Are you going to kill me?"

"Don't think I don't dare!" Madam Yu suddenly lost control and said like a madman, "I didn't expect you to be so vicious. If you hadn't been stirring up trouble for us, how could this family become like this?"

"You'd better understand the whole story before you say anything harsh to me. I'm not so cruel as to harm an unborn child."

When she said this, there was a smile on her beautiful face, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

Now that the truth had been revealed, Madam Yu no longer tried to hide it. "What about your father? Why did you keep making soup for him recently?"

"I didn't poison her." Yu Xunmei looked at her with innocent big eyes, as if to say, "What can you do to me without any evidence?"

"Your father's health has been deteriorating since he drank your soup." Mrs. Yu was not giving up. She had already determined that the mastermind behind all this was her good daughter Yu Xunmei.

Yu Xunmei turned her head away, too lazy to argue with her, and the maids around her tactfully stayed away from her.

Madam Yu seemed to have found an outlet for her emotions, and continued to chatter, "If you had obediently followed your father's arrangements and married to Cangwu County, then none of this would have happened."

It was these words that completely angered Yu Xunmei, "You mean, if I get married, all of you will be happy, and if I don't get married, all the misfortunes will be caused by me. I don't want to get married, why do you force me to do it!"

"What's wrong with a woman getting married?"

Yu Xunmei looked at this mother who kept saying that she loved her, and felt that she was so hypocritical!

She endured and endured, but finally blurted out the hurtful words, "Then did you know that Yu Shida is your father's concubine's son?"

"How could it be?" Mrs. Yu's pupils trembled and her eyes were full of disbelief.

Yu Xunmei's heart was filled with anxiety, "Everyone outside knows it, but you are the only one who is kept in the dark. According to father's plan, my eldest brother will be in charge of the internal affairs, and Yu Shida will be in charge of the external affairs. This way, the Yu family will always be victorious. If you don't believe me, go back and ask father."

Mrs. Yu's thoughts were in a turmoil and she had no intention of staying here. She stumbled away holding the hand of her maid.

Yu Xunmei looked at her indifferently, no longer having any illusions about this mother.

She gave up her lover to marry her father for the sake of the family's interests, and now she has to give up her own daughter. In the face of family interests, there is nothing she cannot give up.

She can make the same choices as they can!

Listening to Yu Qiutao's cries of pain inside, Yu Xunmei pulled the green plants in the flower bed out of boredom.

The maid behind her frowned. The flowers that had just grown leaves after the cold winter were about to be pulled out by her, so she spoke up to stop it.

Fan Yuejia, who received the news, walked over through the hanging flowers.

Yu Xunmei glanced at her and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, Aunt Tao gave birth to a child for her husband. As the mistress of the house, I must come to see it. But it is not appropriate for you, an unmarried woman, to come to this bloody and filthy place."

Fan Yuejia covered the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled, "I'm here, Miss, you should go and have a rest first!"

After saying this, she went into the inner room without waiting for Yu Xunmei to speak.

Yu Xunmei raised her eyes and looked at her back as she disappeared through the door, her sharp eyes cruel and cold.

"Why hasn't the baby come out after so long?"

"Madam, the doctor said that although the baby was born early, the fetus was too big and it was difficult to deliver."

Fan Yuejia said lightly, "If it's difficult to give birth, then perform a cesarean section to take the baby out. Don't let the baby get sick from being suffocated."

There was a sudden gasp of fear in the house.

"Absolutely not. The mother will die."

"The baby is already halfway out. If we cut it open now, I'm afraid the baby will get stuck in the birth canal..."

"What? No one listens to me?" Fan Yuejia asked the maids in the house in a harsh voice.

Yu Xunmei broke off a whole branch of flowers with great effort. She seemed to feel no pain even when the thorns on the branch pierced her flesh. She threw the branch away, kicked the door open and walked in.

"I wonder which of you dares?"

The maids and old women who were kneeling on the ground were trembling in fear, and no one dared to move.

She kicked the kneeling woman and said, "What are you doing? Go and deliver the baby!"

The maid hurriedly got up and went back to the bed. Yu Qiutao was now unconscious and in so much pain that she had no strength left.

"Sister, you are so arrogant!" Fan Yuejia said unhappily.

Yu Xunmei didn't even bother to look at her and said directly, "Today, I want them and their child to be safe."

"Hmph!" Fan Yuejia turned around and left angrily.

"Aunt Tao, please try harder. We can already see the baby's head. You can't sleep at this time." The midwife shouted anxiously beside the bed.

Yu Xunmei rushed forward and attacked Yu Qiutao's face left and right.

"Did you hear what I just said? If you don't wake up, Fan Yuejia will have to perform a cesarean section to get the baby!"

"She's waiting at the door for you to die so she can take the child to raise."

"If you can survive, I will let you raise the child yourself!"

Yu Taotao's cheeks were red and swollen, and she felt a burning pain. She could hardly open her eyes. She bit her lips tightly, held her breath, and exerted a lot of force. A wet and warm thing slid out from between her legs.

"She gave birth! It's a rich girl!"

Fan Yuejia, who was outside the house, curled her lips in disdain after hearing the midwife's response.

"Bah! You look so proud, but you are just a money-loser!"
