Before confiscating their property, they emptied the imperial city and exiled them!

"Honey, that...that Cuihua, she's pregnant!"

The village chief's wife finally had no choice but to reveal that Miao Cuihua was pregnant.

"What? You, you're pregnant?" Yang Baoshu stared at Miao Cuihua in shock.

Miao Cuihua blinked her moist eyes and nodded excitedly at Yang Baoshu.

I hope to see a happy look in Yang Baoshu's eyes.

But it disappointed her.

Yang Baoshu's eyes showed no emotion other than shock.

Even so, Miao Cuihua had no intention of giving up.

She didn't care about anything else as long as she could stay at home.

It would be a lie to say that Yang Baoshu wasn't excited, as he and Miao Cuihua had been married for three years.

He had never had a child of his own, but now he thought about how Miao Cuihua was carrying his child.

He was somewhat moved.

But Miao Cuihua did such a heinous thing to her younger sister.

Even Yang Baoshu couldn't bring himself to forgive her like that.

Thinking of what his younger sister had gone through, Yang Baoshu steeled himself and said...

"You can leave now. I will not acknowledge this child."

Yang Baoshu's ruthlessness instantly wounded Miao Cuihua deeply.

She never imagined that Yang Baoshu would abandon even his own child.

He used to love her so much and tolerate everything about her.

To make Miao Cuihua give up, Yang Baoshu went back to his room and took out a divorce letter he had written long ago.

He told Miao Cuihua that he had a new engagement.

Deeply affected, Miao Cuihua stood in the courtyard, hesitant to take the letter of divorce from Yang Baoshu.

However, Yang Baoshu did not give her any chance and directly placed the letter of divorce in her hands.

He stopped looking at her, afraid that he would soften his heart.

Miao Cuihua knew that she would never have the chance to stay in this family again.

She put the letter of divorce given to her by Yang Baoshu in her bosom.

He staggered as he tried to leave.

"Wait, even if you and Baoshu are no longer destined to be together, you are still carrying the child of our Yang family."

"If you have nowhere to go, you should stay here for now!" In the end, the village chief couldn't resist keeping Miao Cuihua.

He simply couldn't bear to see Miao Cuihua, pregnant with the Yang family's child, wandering outside.

The child in Miao Cuihua's belly was also his long-awaited hope.

She had been away from home for two or three months, and her family only had her father, who was addicted to gambling.

If Miao Cuihua is driven away today, she will have nowhere to go.

Miao Cuihua was overjoyed when she heard the village chief ask her to stay, even though she knew it was for the sake of the child.

The village chief's wife didn't say anything to object; she also didn't want Miao Cuihua to leave like that.

Yang Baoshu immediately objected when he saw his parents' choice.

"Father, Mother, have you forgotten what she did to my sister?"

The village chief sighed helplessly: "I haven't forgotten, but she's pregnant now. Can you really bear to just drive her away like this?"

Yang Baoshu pursed his lips tightly and finally gave in.

He said coldly, "Do as you please, but I will not accept her again. The wedding will proceed as scheduled in three days."

Miao Cuihua was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that the wedding Yang Baoshu had just mentioned was actually true.

Just now, she thought Yang Baoshu was deliberately scaring her to make her angry!

And even the date is so close, with only three days left.

After finishing his sentence, Uncle Yang didn't even look at her reaction before returning to his room to rest.

From now on, Miao Cuihua will definitely not be able to rest in the same room as Yang Baoshu.

The village chief's wife was also unwilling to give up her daughter's room to Miao Cuihua.

They had no choice but to clean out a room on the west side that was usually used to store miscellaneous goods for Miao Cuihua.

If this had happened before, Miao Cuihua would have already lost her temper.

But now, she no longer has any right to negotiate.

It's already a great honor that this family took her in again.

After Lin Xiaoxiao and Xiaobai returned home, they saw Ying San following the cook's daughter, Xiao Tao, with an overly attentive expression.

Xiao Tao didn't mind him standing next to her and went about her work.

Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled softly.

It seems they're having a happy occasion soon.

"This older brother has been saying for two or three months that he wants to clear our family's name."

Why haven't we heard anything yet?

During dinner that evening, Song Shijun impatiently poked at the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks and spoke.

Liu sat down next to him and quietly nudged him with her elbow.

She said angrily, "If there's any news, it will naturally come out. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Song Shijun: "Of course I was anxious. Every day I had to go up the mountain to move stones under the scorching sun. I was almost exhausted."

If the news of their exoneration arrives, they will no longer need to go up the mountain to move stones.

He could return to the capital and resume his former illustrious life.

He knew Shilan would marry him eventually, so how could he not be anxious?

Song Wenjing put down his chopsticks and addressed his family members present.

"A letter has arrived from the capital, informing us that the matter of our exoneration has been resolved, and the imperial decree should be delivered within a few days."

Song Shijun was overjoyed: "Is what you said true, brother?"

Liu was also very happy, and glared at her son fiercely: "Of course it's true, how could your older brother's words be false?"

Although she didn't suffer too much here, the living conditions here were still far inferior to those in the capital.

Song Wenjing did not tell them all the information in the letter.

Although the emperor exonerated them, he did not order them to return to the capital.

They only gave out a token amount, a hundred taels of silver as a form of appeasement.

However, he no longer cared about any of that. As long as the Song family was no longer stigmatized, nothing else mattered.

However, it's best if he doesn't say this aloud.

It's better to let the father see the ruthlessness of the royal family.

Only then can the safety of my family be fully guaranteed.

If the father continues to persist in his stubbornness and refuses to see the truth.

For the sake of his family and Xiaoxiao, Song Wenjing will completely sever ties with Song Huai'an.

We must stop him from continuing to drain his family's resources.

In the sweltering summer, after meals, many villagers would gather at their doorways to cool off and chat.

Because there is a large locust tree planted in front of Lin Xiaoxiao's house.

Therefore, many villagers often gather there.

The women kept busy, working under the light of the tree lamps.

Since becoming pregnant, Lin Xiaoxiao has been particularly sensitive to heat, so she often stays indoors.

The energy-storage type air cooler is on.

She hid the air conditioner under the bed, so outsiders wouldn't be able to tell anything when they came in.

"Sister-in-law, isn't your belly a bit too big for your current pregnancy?"

Song Yetong lingered in Lin Xiaoxiao's room, looking at Lin Xiaoxiao's round belly, and asked in confusion.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked down at her stomach and touched it.

Lin Xiaoxiao said dismissively, "Really? Isn't that how it is?"
