Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 341 Passersby Work Hard to Live (9)

Relying on a pair of eyes that can see through strange disguises, Shen Yao avoided trouble along the way and returned home safely.

Before going to bed, Shen Yao reminded Qingshui not to get up to check no matter what noise he heard at night, "If you have something to do, wait until tomorrow."

Qingshui: ...Huh?

Qingshui looked horrified, not understanding why her master said that, but she still nodded obediently.

But if the "girl" needs someone urgently, she won't come?

"I won't get up at night," It's very lively next door tonight, I want to join in the fun.

Shen Yao waved her hand to send Qingshui away, touched her loose hair, and simply pasted a few defensive talismans around the bed.

Covering herself with the quilt and closing her eyes, Shen Yao fell asleep with anticipation.

The night is quiet and the moon is high in the sky.

The Li family, separated from the small courtyard by a wall, was bustling with activity. Contrary to her usual practice, the favorite concubine of the Li family did not rest, but instead took the servants of the mansion to have fun.

The master of the Li family has not returned yet, and the only one who can make decisions at home is the favorite concubine.

The favored concubine didn't want to live in peace, so the other servants had to play with her.

The night was as dark as flowing water. An invisible black fog came from far away and slowly drifted into the Li family’s house.

Suddenly, accompanied by loud screams, the Li family's mansion became eerie and terrifying.

…………

Shen Yao slept very well that night. When she got up in the morning, she checked the talisman papers on both sides of the bed and found them to be intact.

Qingshui came in carrying toiletries. Seeing that his master had woken up, he quickly put the things down and helped him up.

Glancing at the door with a cautious expression, Qingshui whispered that something happened at the Li family last night.

"Master, I heard that many people from the Guisi Extermination Division have arrived, and they have carried out many corpses from the Li family."

Qingshui also heard the news from other people. Given the bad behavior of the Li family, although she was afraid, she still hoped that this was true.

Qingshui said this carefully, his eyes never leaving Shen Yao.

Shen Yao didn't care. She calmly walked to the dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror. "A lot of corpses? Lord Li wasn't at home last night?"

Qingshui shook her head and said, "I heard that it was only that concubine." She is not the real mistress of the house. She usually behaves arrogantly and domineeringly. It would be better if she were in bad luck.

Qingshui really didn't like that guy. Not only had he offended Shen Yao with his bad mouth, but he had not been very honest long before Shen Yao came.

Qingshui naturally had nothing good to say when it came to settling all the new and old grudges.

"What a pity that Madam Li is so young," Tsk tsk tsk, it can be said that she is a beauty with a tragic fate.

Reaching out to adjust the dangling tassel hairpin, Shen Yao got up and went to the front yard to eat.

The affairs of the Li family were like a gust of wind. Shen Yao didn't need to inquire deliberately, as someone would deliver the latest news to her.

The favorite concubine of the Li family was gone after all, because she had a head-on contact with the weirdness, and according to the laws of the Wei State, not even a corpse was left.

After this incident, the Li family moved to a new residence and sold the house to a family named Zhao.

Shen Yao got to know her new neighbor privately and found him to be a relatively well-behaved person, so she didn't take it too seriously.

Liu Jingyan finally came to the courtyard again after being separated from her for more than half a month. Although he didn't look as energetic as before, his speech and behavior were much more relaxed.

It turned out that Liu Jingyan's grandfather had come out of confinement. Although Liu Jingyan's father disagreed, he could not resist the support of his grandfather. Now he has finally reaped the rewards of his hard work, and Shen Yao no longer needs to be nameless and without status.

Liu Jingyan couldn't wait to run over to tell Shen Yao the good news and set the date for their wedding. Shen Yao might feel a little wronged in the process, but he promised that he would treat her well.

Shen Yao: ...Why do I feel like I'm seeing a scumbag? Is this an illusion?

The two chatted and inevitably mentioned the situation in the courtyard next door.

Although Liu Jingyan did not experience the danger that night, he still felt scared and worried about leaving Shen Yao alone in the courtyard.

"If I had known this, I should have gone to Xingyefang." Liu Jingyan has properties in the three areas. Apart from some problems within the Liu family, Liu Jingyan is still a rich kid with abundant assets.

Regretting that he was not there at the time, Liu Jingyan stayed in the courtyard for one night and left reluctantly at noon the next day.

Shen Yao did not tell anyone about her pregnancy. She had asked about the internal situation of the Qingshui Liu family. Knowing that Liu Jingyan had several troublesome half-brothers, she understood that the Liu family also had the common problems of aristocratic families.

With legitimate and illegitimate children fighting each other and having many wives and concubines, she could still delay it as long as possible.

I hope my son will be more capable in the future. If he wants to stand out in a family like this, he must have strong personal strength.

Time passed little by little, and Shen Yao maintained the efficiency of going out from time to time, and had a close relationship with the neighbors around her.

It was not until a month after living in the courtyard that Shen Yao asked a doctor to come in because she was feeling unwell.

After receiving the definite diagnosis of pregnancy, Shen Yao immediately asked the steward to send the letter to Liu Mansion for her.

Within half an hour, Liu Jingyan came to the courtyard and took Shen Yao back home.

No wonder Liu Jingyan was so excited. You have to know that he had very few children born safely in his life. No matter whether he had a wife or concubines to serve him, none of them could give birth to a child with the qualifications to practice cultivation.

For this reason, Liu Jingyan's grandfather was very dissatisfied. After all, a large population was the hope for family inheritance. How could the family grow and develop without enough offspring?

The Liu family does not object to their members marrying and having children, but as a member of the direct lineage, Liu Jingyan should have set an example, but he ended up marrying an ordinary person of status and position.

But now ordinary people are pregnant, which is a good signal.

Although in the eyes of most people in this world, having an unmediated affair and getting pregnant is a very bad thing for one's reputation.

However, special cases require special treatment. The Liu family doesn’t care about these things. Only the offspring born are their focus.

"Yaoyao, the wedding date cannot be advanced, but the Liu family will make up for it financially in other ways."

The fact that Shen Yao is pregnant is already known to all the elders in the family. Liu Jingyan came here this time just to take Shen Yao to the Liu Mansion for settlement.

Of course, doing so would damage Shen Yao's reputation, and the Liu family would compensate her in other ways.

The money that Liu Jingyan mentioned is just a bit of sincerity from the Liu family.

"Ayan, I'm not afraid as long as you are here," Shen Yao lowered her head and leaned in Liu Jingyan's arms, her tone soft.

Just like a new mother who just found out she was pregnant, Shen Yao showed great anticipation for the child in her belly. Maybe the child came at the wrong time, but to them, this was their own blood.

The two of them hugged each other for a long time, until Qingshui came over to ask under pressure, then they remembered that it was getting late and they should go back to Liu Mansion.

The carriage had been prepared when they arrived, and there was nothing much to pack in the courtyard, so Shen Yao asked Qingshui to pack up simply. She entered the carriage empty-handed and left with Liu Jingyan in a low-key manner.

Qingshui naturally followed along, and Shen Yao also fulfilled the promise she had made and at the same time found a loyal servant for herself.

The situation at the Liu Mansion is unclear. Since she lives there, she must have her own staff.

The carriage left the alley in as much of a hurry as it had come.

…………

Shen Yao's residence in the Liu Mansion was temporarily arranged in the courtyard next to Liu Jingyan.

It is a not too big but exquisitely decorated courtyard with a pond of pink lotus flowers. The wind brings bursts of lotus fragrance.

Liu Jingyan stayed with Shen Yao for a long time and only got up and left when it was dark.

The elders of the Liu family did not come, but they sent a lot of gifts and supplements.

Afraid that Shen Yao would think too much, Liu Jingyan explained that there was not enough time and would arrange for them to meet tomorrow.

"Don't be afraid, grandpa and mother get along well." As for my biological father, he is just an unimportant person.

Liu Jingyan's words inevitably neglected his biological father, which Shen Yao could naturally notice. Thinking of the many half-brothers and sisters in the Liu family, she understood.

"With A-Yan, I'm not afraid," What is there to be afraid of? She has a trump card in her belly. Before giving birth, no one in the Liu Mansion will bother her. As for after giving birth? Qualification is the best pass inside the Liu Mansion. She can rest assured to feed the child.

Shen Yao sent Liu Jingyan away with a smile on her face and asked Qingshui to organize the gifts into a book so that she would have a reference standard when giving gifts in return in the future.

Qingshui had sold herself as a slave for many years, and this was her first time entering the Liu Mansion. Although she had done a lot of psychological preparation along the way, she was still emotional.

Secretly noting down the work she had to do, Qingshui helped Shen Yao change clothes and rest, while she continued to work tirelessly to find out some internal information of the Liu Mansion.

When Shen Yao woke up, Qingshui hurriedly reported the situation in the mansion to her and added a few words to prevent Shen Yao from being taken advantage of due to her lack of familiarity with the situation.

Shen Yao is going to the main courtyard to visit Madam Liu today, and she chose a pink and white gradient dress.

Her hair was tied up in a bun at the back, with smooth hair hanging down on both sides of her temples. She wore several jade hairpins with beautiful tassels swaying on them.

Breakfast has been delivered by the servants. Considering Shen Yao's current health condition, someone has taken special care of her meals. Shen Yao doesn't have to do anything and just needs to focus on taking care of the baby.

"There are dozens of masters in the Liu Mansion, big and small, but only three or two of them can be shown in a respectable manner," and this includes Liu's father's new love.

As for the old love? A few useless sons with no great abilities. When Liu Jingyan's brother becomes the head of the family, it is still unclear whether they can continue to live in the Liu Mansion. Is it worth Shen Yao's attention?

"I'm visiting several elders in the mansion today. As long as I don't make big mistakes, they won't make things difficult for me." She is Liu Jingyan's chosen wife, and her status will only be more stable after she becomes pregnant.

What seems incredible to others is nothing impossible for the Liu family or even Liu Jingyan.

Shen Yao got up and slowly finished her breakfast. When the agreed time came, she took Qingshui and left with the maid waiting outside the door.

After turning countless corners, Shen Yao arrived at the main courtyard where Madam Liu lived.

The yard is full of various rare flowers, which are vying for beauty and extremely beautiful.

Mrs. Liu stood at the door, looking like a gentle and quiet lady from a noble family.

"Madam, be well"

Shen Yao bowed her head and before she could stand up, Madam Liu pulled her up.

Bringing her into the room and sitting her on the couch, Madam Liu first expressed concern for Shen Yao's health, then said meaningfully, "You are a little different from the daughter-in-law I had in mind."

In other words, Mrs. Liu thought that her son would not like a woman like Shen Yao.

Shen Yao did not comment on this, thinking that Liu Jingyan might not be able to fully understand what kind of woman she was. Madam Liu had only just met her, so it would be too arbitrary to draw conclusions too early.

"Accidents always happen, ma'am, so it's better to look forward to some things."

The marriage in the mansion cannot be changed, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law should not hold grudges over it.

At least they are consistent in their attitude towards the outside world. The Liu family has a lot of resources, so they should always try to get as much of them as possible into their arms.

Madam Liu: ...

Mrs. Liu had a complicated expression. Shen Yao had given her too many unique shocks. She neither hated nor liked her. Since Liu Jingyan had chosen her himself, let's see how far they can go.

After leaving the main courtyard, Shen Yao had some more valuable gifts in her hands. They were all things for replenishing the body and were carefully selected by Madam Liu.

On the way, they also met a few illegitimate young ladies who were going out. When they saw Shen Yao, a stranger, they just greeted her.

"Miss Shen, those young ladies have always been dispensable in the Liu Mansion because their biological mothers are not outstanding," Qingshui added at the right time, which also resolved some of Shen Yao's doubts.

"Let's go back." Her adoptive father-in-law was really merciful. The courtyard of the Liu Mansion was not small, but she could still meet so many masters so frequently, which showed that they were indeed far superior in number.

Unfortunately, the quality is not very good. Except for the two children born to Madam Liu who have outstanding qualifications, the others can only be considered average and are not worth training.

“The Liu family has no shortage of talent and treasures, and my father wants them to be successful.

This time, a royal secret realm has been opened outside Luojing City. There are many opportunities inside, and my father intends to let my half-brothers enter it."

Liu Jingyan was waiting in the courtyard. When he saw Shen Yao coming back, he looked heartbroken and collapsed.

Knowing that his own father doesn't care about him is one thing, but it's another thing that he would give all the resources he can to his opponent. Liu Jingyan feels very uncomfortable now.

The royal secret realm that is about to open this time is very important. The royal family can allocate quotas because the secret realm is full of dangers.

Liu Jingyan had always thought that he would be the one this time, and he didn't want his biological father to use Shen Yao's matter as an excuse to distribute his things to other half-brothers.

"Ayan, the most important thing about this matter is grandpa's attitude," Since you want to go, if your biological father can't help you, you can ask your biological grandfather.

Given Liu Xiuwen's personality, and the fact that Liu Jingyan has a brother who is highly regarded by people, if he wants to go to the secret realm, Liu Xiuwen will definitely agree.

"Although my grandfather agrees, I don't want to harm my eldest brother's interests."

Liu Jingyan knew that he didn't have enough bargaining chips, and it was normal for interests to be exchanged within the family, but he didn't want his brother to suffer as a result.

After all, he is different from his brother. His brother is a talented person valued by the Liu family, the leader of this generation of the Liu family, and the future head of the Liu family.

Shen Yao had married into the royal family in other worlds and understood some of the interests involved.

Liu Jingyan doesn't want to use his brother's relationship, so he can only rely on himself. Is there anything on his side that can make Liu Xiuwen increase his investment?

Shen Yao subconsciously touched her belly, which had not yet fully bulged, and thought to herself, why is this child coming at the wrong time? This can be used as an excuse to plot for her father.

However, this matter still needs careful planning. There is no such thing as spiritual fetus in this world, so she can only find another way.
