Yuan Wei's Quick Travel
Chapter 172 Cannon Fodder Substitute 21
When Yuan Guangheng heard the news of Chu Wanyi's pregnancy again, the first thought in his mind was:
Which daughter will this be?
Although Chu Wanyi firmly believed that this baby would be a boy, Yuan Guangheng was far less confident than her.
Perhaps, as the outside world says, I am destined to have only one son.
However, they did not know that their only son had already passed away.
Yuan Guangheng was not as excited about this new life as Chu Wanyi. He had gradually become numb and even began to accept the arrangements of fate.
What can you do if you don’t accept your fate?
His career was bumpy and he had no successor. It seemed that his life was heading towards failure.
When he saw Chu Wanyi again a month later, Yuan Guangheng could hardly believe that the person in front of him was his wife.
"How could it become like this?" he couldn't help but ask.
The woman before him was completely different from the wife in his memory. She used to be always well-dressed and radiant.
But now she is skinny and has sunken eyes, like a refugee fleeing famine from somewhere.
Chu Wanyi's face was as pale as paper, and she seemed to have lost all her life. She was grayish-white, and it seemed as if a light breeze could blow her away.
Yuan Guangheng widened his eyes and stared at Chu Wanyi's belly, his eyes full of fear and anxiety.
Could this be some kind of evil spirit coming from somewhere?
The kind that specializes in sucking the mother's blood?
Chu Wanyi gently stroked her belly, which had not yet bulged, with a satisfied smile on her face, and said softly:
"Master, don't worry. I'm fine. I'm just a little older, and the pregnancy reactions are a bit severe. Once I get through this difficult period, everything will get better, and I can slowly recuperate then."
Yuan Guangheng couldn't bear to look at Chu Wanyi. He couldn't help but ask, "Madam, have you looked in the mirror recently?"
Chu Wanyi was slightly startled, and after thinking for a moment, she replied, "I've been feeling drowsy and weak all day lately, and it's indeed been a while since I last looked in the mirror."
As she spoke, she subconsciously stroked her hair, with an unnatural expression on her face.
She took a deep breath, and her whole body began to feel uncomfortable. She pursed her lips and said:
"Master, I am in such a state that it is inconvenient for me to entertain you. Please come and visit our son when I am better."
Yuan Guangheng couldn't help but shudder when he heard Chu Wanyi mention his son.
He forced a smile and walked towards the door with unsteady steps.
"Mammy, please give me a mirror quickly. Can I not see anyone now?"
After Yuan Guangheng walked away, Chu Wanyi quickly asked Nanny Shi to get a mirror.
Nanny Shi was a little hesitant. She was worried that Chu Wanyi would be shocked when she saw her current appearance, but she could not disobey her order, so she had to go get a mirror.
When Chu Wanyi took the mirror, her face turned pale instantly and tears rolled down her cheeks.
She looked at herself in the mirror. Her once beautiful face was now shapeless, her hair was messy and stuck to her scalp, and her eyes were full of fear and despair.
"Madam, the most important thing for you right now is the baby in your belly. Even if the master sees that you are a little inappropriate, he will understand."
Nanny Shi quickly comforted her and gently took the mirror away from Chu Wanyi.
Chu Wanyi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
She understood that what Nanny Shi said was right. The most important thing now was to protect the fetus in her womb, and everything else could come slowly.
"The master didn't say anything just now, and there was no disdain in his eyes. The master knows that the lady is working hard, and he feels sorry for her."
Nanny Shi continued, trying to reassure Chu Wanyi.
Chu Wanyi nodded, feeling a little warm in her heart.
Although she knew that she looked terrible now, Yuan Guangheng did not show disgust or disdain, which made her feel relieved.
"Yes, the master is also looking forward to the birth of our son."
A smile appeared on Chu Wanyi's face, and a glimmer of happiness flashed in her eyes.
Although she wanted to take care of herself immediately, she couldn't move and felt nauseous if she moved a little.
Seeing that she had persuaded Chu Wanyi, Nanny Shi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Shall I fetch some water to give Madam a wash?"
It was only when Yuan Guangheng suddenly came over that he saw Chu Wanyi in such a miserable state.
Otherwise, Nanny Shi would groom Chu Wanyi every day, so she wouldn't be so disheveled.
After Nanny Shi had washed and groomed Chu Wanyi, she met Shi Liu outside the door with water in her hand.
Shi Liu took the basin from her hand, took a look inside, and whispered, "Mammy, the second young lady..."
"Silence!"
Nanny Shi glanced at Shi Liu, looked back, and pulled Shi Liu a little further away.
"Don't mention the second girl in front of Madam!"
Shi Liu's face turned pale and he bowed, "Yes."
Yuan Lan was disfigured.
The wound was exactly the same as Chu Tingyi's wound back then.
Nanny Shi didn't dare tell Chu Wanyi the news, for fear of upsetting her.
When Nanny Shi first saw the scar, she felt cold all over and started to tremble.
The location and size of the scar were exactly the same as Chu Tingyi's back then.
Coupled with the second girl's face that looked very similar to her aunt, Nanny Shi felt as if she saw Chu Tingyi at first glance.
Nanny Shi was filled with fear.
As the lady's personal nanny, she has been following her since she was a girl.
As for the scars on Chu Tingyi's face, she naturally knew that it was caused by her husband.
Now seeing the same scar, the first thing that came to Shi Ma's mind was that Chu Tingyi had returned for revenge.
However, she then realized that Chu Tingyi had passed away 15 years ago and she had witnessed her last breath.
Nanny Shi knew clearly that if the second young lady's injury was caused intentionally by someone else, then the most likely mastermind behind it was Yuan Wei.
But logically speaking, Yuan Wei did not know the truth of the matter and had no motive to do so.
Nanny Shi finally attributed the incident to coincidence and karma.
If I tell my wife about this now, it will definitely add more psychological burden to her.
It is not certain whether the fetus in the lady's belly can be saved by then.
No matter how noisy the second girl was, Nanny Shi stopped her so that she could not get to the lady.
Yuan Lan was going crazy.
She just couldn't bear the pain of being under house arrest and wanted to go out and apologize to her mother.
But she came back with a face full of injuries.
She is disfigured!
This period of house arrest was undoubtedly the most difficult time for Yuan Lan since she was born.
At first, she resisted stubbornly, lost her temper, and even went on a hunger strike in protest.
After going hungry for two meals, she was surprised to find that no one cared about her behavior, and Yuan Lan backed off and compromised.
Even so, life was still hard, and she deeply realized how sad life was after losing her mother's care.
In fact, she had long intended to admit her mistake to Chu Wanyi, but she couldn't let go of her face and was expecting Chu Wanyi to come forward and comfort her.
A whole month passed and Chu Wanyi still didn't show up, and Yuan Lan felt resentful.
It seems that her mother doesn't really care about her. If she really loves her, why would she delay for so long without coming to comfort her?
When Yuan Lan knew that Chu Wanyi was pregnant again, she felt full of resistance.
She knew very well that her mother did not like her eldest brother, and if she gave birth to a younger brother this time, her position in the mansion would be even more precarious.
Who will love her and care about her then?
Yuan Lan tore the handkerchief in her hand and stared at the main courtyard with malice in her eyes.
If only my mother hadn't been pregnant.
