Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she's easy to bully.

After Cheng Jinchu dealt with Sun Manman, he went back to sleep. Perhaps the only ones who had not rested so late were the people in Duke Xie’s mansion.

However, most people in Duke Xie's mansion were asleep at this time, and taking advantage of the night, Aunt Zhou came to Xie Yu's room.

Xie Yu has been very happy recently because the Duke's wife has promised him that she will propose to Ning Jiao'er as soon as possible. When he saw Aunt Zhou, his face suddenly turned cold.

“What are you doing here?”

Aunt Zhou moved to sit beside Xie Yu and slowly hugged his waist.

"Ayu, I miss you so much. Touch it. This is your child. He misses you too."

As she said that, Aunt Zhou grabbed Xie Yu's hand and tried to touch her belly. Xie Yu broke free from Aunt Zhou and stood up.

"What do you mean by suddenly announcing your pregnancy? Do you want to give birth to this child?"

Aunt Zhou touched her belly happily. Although it was still flat, she raised her head and looked at Xie Yu.

"Ayu, this is our child. I am so happy. Weren't you happy when you knew he was coming? If it is a son, he will be your eldest son."

Xie Yu didn't want to look at Aunt Zhou's happy expression, he just felt it was irritating. He himself was the eldest son, and a bastard at that. This child would also be a bastard when he was born. He was obviously his son, but he had to be his younger brother in name only?

"You don't need me to remind you of your current status, right? You want to give birth to the child and make him my nominal brother? Then will he call me big brother or dad in the future?"

Seeing that Xie Yu was struggling with this issue, Aunt Zhou stood up, walked behind Xie Yu, and hugged him from behind.

"Then I can fake my death, so I can give birth to the baby somewhere else, okay?"

Aunt Zhou leaned her head on Xie Yu's back. She had wanted to leave for a long time. She didn't want to be the Duke's concubine. She wanted to be Xie Yu's woman. Even if she was a mistress, it was better than being a concubine of this old man.

Xie Yu turned around and hugged Aunt Zhou back.

"You can't have this child!"

Xie Yu said in a low voice that Aunt Zhou's eyes were full of sadness and she didn't understand why.

"But this is our child! I can't bear to part with it. Otherwise, I, I won't ask for so much. I will find a child and exchange it with our child. I will send our child to another place to raise. In this way, you don't have to worry about the embarrassing status you had before, okay?"

Xie Yu touched Aunt Zhou's head.

"Be good~ You can't keep this child!"

Aunt Zhou felt aggrieved. She raised her head and looked at Xie Yu with tears in her eyes.

"Why?"

Xie Yu gently reached out his hand to wipe away her tears.

"Be good~ You have to listen to me. I told you that you can't stay."

Aunt Zhou ignored Xie Yu and just cried. Xie Yu felt upset, but still held back his annoyance. He lifted Aunt Zhou's chin and kissed her gently on the lips.

"You have to be obedient, okay? You can't give birth to a firstborn before Jiao'er. You should know that all my women will come after Jiao'er. You are the most sensible, so I love you the most, right?"

Aunt Zhou bit her lip.

"But……"

"No buts. You have to abort the baby. However, you can use your method. You can abort the baby and pretend to be pregnant again. Then I will find a child for you to raise. By then, your status in the Duke's Mansion will be even higher..."

Aunt Zhou knew what Xie Yu said. She didn't want those. She just wanted Xie Yu. She liked him, very much. She didn't want to be that old man's concubine. She didn't want to. It was too disgusting.

Aunt Zhou shook her head at Xie Yu. Xie Yu's patience was almost exhausted. He frowned and looked at Aunt Zhou.

"Do you really want this child?"

Aunt Zhou could tell that Xie Yu was very unhappy. Xie Yu had even pushed her away and sat down far away from her.

"I……"

Aunt Zhou must be reluctant to do so. She knew that Xie Yu said he was discussing it, but he had made the decision and she couldn't change it whether she agreed or not.

Aunt Zhou remained silent. She didn't want to say such cruel words, and she bit her lips unconsciously until they bled.

I don't know how long it took, but Xie Yu walked to Aunt Zhou's side. He put one arm around Aunt Zhou's waist and gently touched her lips with the other hand.

"Be good, stop biting me. I'm bleeding."

When Aunt Zhou looked up, she saw Xie Yu's gentle face and the concern in his eyes. She felt a surge of grievances in her heart, her nose felt sore again, and tears began to fall again.

"Don't cry, I know you can't bear it, but I feel bad too. However, I can't let Jiao'er suffer. She is my legal wife. If the eldest son is not born by my legal wife, I will be even more sad. You have always loved me so much and you can think about me, right?"

Aunt Zhou continued to shed tears, and Xie Yu sighed.

"Forget it. I'll think of a way to buy you a house to support you. By then, you will be dead with your status. However, I still say that before Jiao'er gives birth to the first son, you are not allowed to give birth to the child. Not allowed to give birth to the child!"

Aunt Zhou looked at Xie Yu in a daze, and Xie Yu picked her up and carried her sideways.

"Okay, don't be sad. I'll give you two choices. The first is to abort the child and pretend to be pregnant. The second is to abort the child and I'll find a house to support you. You can choose. But you have to get rid of the child as soon as possible."

Xie Yu put Aunt Zhou on the bed, then leaned over and whispered in Aunt Zhou's ear.

"Relax~ How about I make you happy in a moment? Be good~"
