Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder She Wants to Be a Vicious Female Supporting Role

At this time...

"Xinxin!"

Just as Pei Yan was urging Lan Xin to take the medicine quickly, a female voice came from outside the door.

"mother in law!"

"father in law!"

When Pei Yan heard the voice and turned around, he saw Lan's father and mother being led in by Lan Xin's personal maid Qiu Kui. He was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.

How come these two old guys arrived so quickly?

Pei Yan was extremely regretful at this moment. He did not personally take action against Lan Xin last night. Now that Lan's father and mother were here, it would not be as easy for him to take action against Lan Xin as before.

"father?"

"mother?"

Lan Xin was also very surprised to see her parents appear. She didn't expect that her parents would come so soon after they knew she was about to give birth!

Pei Yan suppressed his shock and asked calmly, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, Xinxin said you won't be here for another two days, right?"

Pei Yan couldn't help but wonder in his heart if Lan Xin was deliberately lying to him?

Upon hearing this, Father Lan looked at Mother Lan helplessly and said, "Well, Xinxin's mother was too worried about Xinxin's health. So, we set out as soon as we got the news. We rushed over and luckily arrived before Xinxin gave birth."

As Father Lan spoke, he glanced at Lan Xin's big belly, a look of relief in his eyes.

"Yes, Xinxin, my dear girl, giving birth to a child is like going through the gates of hell for this woman. I specially brought the best midwife for you. Xinxin, don't be afraid. I won't let anything happen to you."

Lan's mother said this while pulling Lan Xin's hand and patting it.

"what?"

Before Lan Xin could say anything, Pei Yan couldn't sit still anymore and cried out in surprise. Perhaps he realized that his emotions were a little too extreme, so he coughed twice.

He tried to make amends, "Ahem...Father and mother-in-law, I've already hired the best midwife in Beijing for Xinxin. I don't think there's any need for an extra midwife, right?"

"nothing."

Father Lan waved his hand and said, "It wouldn't hurt to have two more midwives. With one more person to help, we won't be too busy when the time comes."

Seeing the resolute attitude of Lan's father and mother, Pei Yan knew that he could not stop the two extra midwives from appearing. In order to avoid arousing the suspicion of Lan's father and mother, he did not say anything more.

at this time......

"Xinxin, are you going to take the medicine?"

Mother Lan looked at the bowl of black medicine in front of Lan Xin and asked uncertainly, "Is this medicine for pregnancy maintenance?"

Lan Mu's family started out as a medicinal herb business, and they are quite sensitive to medicinal herbs. She only sat here for a while before she smelled something wrong with the smell of the medicine.

Pei Yan was naturally well aware of Lan Xin's family affairs. When he saw Lan's mother trying to reach out for the medicine bowl, he was worried that she would find something unusual about the medicine, so he quickly stopped her and said, "Yes, mother-in-law, this is the medicine for pregnancy maintenance. However, it's cold now. I'll have someone bring it down and heat it up."

As he said this, he took the medicine away from Lan Mu and handed it to his confidant. Pei Yan's confidant saw Pei Yan's eyes and nodded almost imperceptibly.

Pei Yan glanced at the back of his confidant as he left, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Now that his goal had not been achieved, he naturally could not let Lan Xin's parents discover his ill intentions.

............

After Pei Yan left, Lan's mother took Lan Xin's hand and asked, "Xinxin, what happened between you and Pei Yan? Was it Pei Yan who brought the pregnancy-maintaining medicine just now? I see that the bowl of medicine doesn't contain any pregnancy-maintaining medicine."

Lan's mother looked at Lan Xin with eyes full of heartache and pity. Businesspeople like her are best at observing people's words and expressions. Just from a glance, she could tell that Pei Yan did not have any true feelings for his daughter.

At first, she was unwilling to marry her daughter to Pei Yan, but her daughter insisted on marrying Pei Yan. She couldn't persuade her daughter and had to agree to the marriage.

In order to make their daughter live well in her husband's family, they took out almost half of their family property and gave it to their daughter as a dowry, just hoping that the husband's family would look up to her daughter. However, they never thought...

Lan Xin listened to her mother's question and said truthfully, "Mom, that's definitely not a pregnancy-maintaining drug."

Upon hearing this, Lan's mother couldn't help but blurt out, "Xinxin, could the drink Pei Yan gave you be an abortion pill?"

Lan's father on the side denied it, "Abortion pills shouldn't be used. Xinxin is pregnant with the son of their Pei family. Pei Yan is the only son of their Pei family. No matter how bad Pei Yan is, he would not harm his own child, unless..."

"Dad, you're right. What Pei Yan brought was indeed not an abortion drug, but a labor-inducing drug."

Lan Xin did not hide anything for Pei Yan and told her parents everything about him truthfully.

"So, Pei Yan just wants you to bear a child for their Pei family, then kill the mother and keep the child, and then marry the barren woman? This Pei Yan is really a good guy!"

Father Lan almost gritted his teeth when he spoke to the end.

However, their status as merchants was too high. Not to mention that he had been conferred the title of Marquis for his military merits, even before Pei Yan was only a fifth-rank general, they, the merchants, could not do anything to him.

Even if they could stop Pei Yan from killing their daughter, they would not be able to stop him if he wanted to marry that woman and take their daughter as a concubine.

Lan Xin's mother held Lan Xin's hand, her tone full of regret, "It's all my fault. I should have stopped you from marrying Pei Yan. We only have you as our precious daughter. We will leave the family business to you from now on. Isn't marrying a live-in husband much better than marrying into this marquis' mansion?"

Lan Xin patted her mother soothingly upon hearing this. "Mom, you don't have to blame yourself. As the saying goes, fortunes are often accompanied by misfortunes, and misfortunes are often accompanied by fortunes. Pei Yan can use me, so naturally, I can use him in return."

"There's no better stepping stone in the capital than the Pei Yan family. Pei Yan is the only descendant of the Pei family, and Old Madam Pei has been ill for many years. If anything happens to Pei Yan, wouldn't this mansion belong to my son?"

"Besides, when the Pei family chose us, it wasn't something we could refuse just because we wanted to. The general's mansion at the time, the scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans, wanted to make things difficult for our business, so it would have been too easy."

Upon hearing this, Lan's father and mother looked at Lan Xin, "Xinxin, what are you...what are you going to do?"

Lan Xin held her mother's hand and smiled, as if everything was under control. "Mom and Dad, I don't need to do anything. I just need to wait for Pei Yan to take action himself and let him suffer the consequences."

"Okay, then I'll listen to Xinxin."

Seeing the confidence in Lan Xin's eyes, Lan's father and mother inexplicably felt that their daughter would not suffer any loss, so they felt relieved.
