After separating from my mother-in-law, I raised my children, built a house, and filled the granary

In fact, she also doesn't know the secret of the skin-beautifying pills.

She had made it according to the process and quantity explained by Shen Yunwan, and the only thing she thought about at the time was the water issue.

In addition, during the days when the village was sealed off, the villagers recovered by drinking the well water.

But this well has been there for hundreds of years, why didn’t it have this effect before?

I guess Shen Yunwan put something in the well.

"Brother Yi, the skin beautifying pills need a secret ingredient." Daya glanced at the man and then covered her stomach. "Brother Yi, my stomach suddenly hurts a little. Take me to see a doctor."

Seeing Daya's pale face, the man thought that she was pregnant with his son, so he helped Daya into the carriage and headed towards the clinic.

Daya opened the curtain of the carriage and hugged the man.

She wanted everyone to know that the father of the child in her belly was Du Yi.

Even if she became a concubine, she wanted her child to have the birthplace of a descendant of the Du family.

She had no choice.

Daya followed Du Yi into the clinic in a high-profile manner and was prescribed some pregnancy-maintaining medicine.

"Daya, go back and take good care of your pregnancy. I'll welcome you home in a few days. And the secret recipe for the skin-beautifying pills, you..."

"Don't worry, Brother Yi, I will review the secret recipe in detail. Once I enter the Du family, won't everything belong to the Du family?"

Du Yi thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. It didn’t matter if he waited a few days. He had already decided to marry Daya. When she arrived at the Du family, he would have the final say in everything.

After sending Daya back to Ping'an Village, he drove back to the Du Mansion.

"What do you want to do?" Aunt Sun asked anxiously when she saw Daya.

Before Daya returned to the village, the news that Du Yu took her to the clinic spread back to Ping'an Village.

The villagers changed their previous attitude of watching the joke and rushed to her house to congratulate her.

She said that she would soon become a relative of the Du family in the county.

Aunt Sun was really speechless and couldn't refute them. She also didn't know what Daya was up to.

"Mom, I'm going to marry into the Du family."

"Ah? Du Yi is willing to marry you? His parents agree?"

"They will agree." Daya's eyes were full of determination.

"The legal wife?" Aunt Sun still couldn't believe it.

"Concubine, take me as your concubine."

"You!" Aunt Sun was so angry that she couldn't speak. What was the difference between being a concubine and being sold to the Du family as a maid?

Du Yu has not yet married, and the mistress has not yet entered the house, but his concubine is pregnant first. How could the mistress tolerate this?

Generally, the children would be kept and the concubine would be sent away with a random name.

"Mom." Daya seemed to have grown up overnight. She patted Aunt Sun's hand gently with both hands and comforted her, "I know what you are worried about. This is my best option."

"if……"

"Mom! There are no ifs. I can't turn back.

If I don’t marry into the Du family, not only in Lotus Town, but even in the surrounding dozens of miles, no one would want to marry me. Even if someone did, they would definitely not be from a good family.”

"Who would want to raise a child for another man?"

"Besides, this child is originally Du Yi's. Born in the Du family, at least he can still be protected by the Du family and have no worries about food and clothing."

Seeing that Daya was so determined, Aunt Sun shook her head and walked away.

When she is alive, she can still help Daya and the child, but if one day she is gone, how will Daya and the child survive?

A woman with a child, who is also an unmarried woman, will have this bad reputation for the rest of her life, and she may not even be able to stay in Ping'an Village.

Although she was a concubine after marrying Du Yu, she was a concubine of a wealthy family, so at least she didn't have to work in the fields for food.

If Daya could be more successful and give birth to a boy, the future mistress would give her a chance to live even for the sake of the child.

Thinking of this, Aunt Sun could only go to the kitchen silently to cook for Daya.

Now, apart from taking good care of Daya's health, there is nothing she can do.

Within a few days, Daya was carried into the Du Mansion through the side door in a sedan chair.

Without the three letters and six betrothal gifts, you can't even wear red clothes, you can only wear pink dresses.

The Du family symbolically gave Aunt Sun two hundred taels of silver as a betrothal gift. Aunt Sun wanted to refuse it, but Daya held her back, saying, "Mother, take it. Even if you don't take it, the Du family won't look at me with any respect."

"Take this money and raise my two sisters well. My child and I will depend on you and my two sisters for support in the future."

Only then did Aunt Sun take the two hundred taels.

Things have come to this point. Taking the silver can make the family's life more affluent. Even if things don't go as planned, if Daya needs the silver, she can still help a little.

Daya entered the Du family quietly. There was no big banquet, no gongs or drums, and it was even night when she entered the Du family.

When taking a concubine, one cannot worship heaven and earth nor does one need to worship one's parents, but only needs to worship the mistress. However, Du Yu is not married now, so Daya does not even need to worship the mistress.

She was carried into the bridal chamber like this.

The so-called wedding room is also a side courtyard of the Du Mansion, a long distance away from the main courtyard.

And today on the wedding night, Du Yi didn't even step into the bridal chamber.

In the evening, he invited several friends to go to a brothel to listen to music. When he heard that a famous actor was coming, Du Yu didn't take the matter of taking a concubine to heart at all.

However, no matter how bad the situation was, the Du family still assigned two maids to Daya.

The maidservant was used to changing her attitude according to the situation. Seeing that the new concubine was so unappreciated, she treated her lightly.

Daya didn't make a fuss. She took off her jewelry and makeup, washed up, and went to bed alone.

It’s better that Du Yu doesn’t enter the new house. Now that she is pregnant, it’s safer not to have sex with her.

Lying on the bed, this was the first time Daya slept in such a nice room, with soft cotton beneath her and silky satin covering her body.

Although it is a side courtyard of the Du family, it is a hundred times better than her home.

Not to mention having two maids to serve her, this was already a very good life.

As for a man's love, it is nothing but a passing cloud. Even if the mistress comes into the mansion in the future, how much love can she get from Du Yu?

For Daya, she does not have a strong family background, so now she has only one way out: serve her mother-in-law well, give birth to a son, and if possible, get involved in the Du family's business.

Thinking about the past, Daya fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Du Yi still hadn't returned home.

Daya led two maids to the main courtyard to serve tea to her parents-in-law.

Du's father and mother sat in the main seat, looking down at the woman who was kneeling on the ground, holding a teacup with her hands raised above her head, and nodding her head.

Her humility pleased them.

Although he was of humble status, he was self-aware. Even when he was alone in an empty room, he did not make any noise and would come to offer tea respectfully the next day.

For the sake of the baby in her belly, Du's mother mercifully let Daya, who was kneeling on the ground, get up.

"Now that you are a member of the Du family, you must be careful with your words and actions. Your mission is to expand the Du family. If you have nothing else to do, stay in the yard and take care of the baby.

If there is anything missing, ask the maid to get it. You are pregnant with Ah Yi's eldest son, so you must be careful."

Du's mother also wanted to have a grandson. She didn't care whose baby came from, as long as it was her son's.

As for the future daughter-in-law, just leave the grandson behind, and as for Daya, you can do whatever you want with her.

Daya agreed with a humble look on her face.

After hearing what the lady said, the two maids also changed their minds. At least there must be no problems during Daya's pregnancy, otherwise they would not survive.
