Chapter 498: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (37)
"Master, you don't have to worry too much about what Doctor Liu said." Cao Wanning whispered to comfort Su Weicheng's shaky dignity as a man, "Regardless of whether this disease can be cured,
Even if something unexpected happens, we have children to keep us company. Don’t worry too much about this kind of disease, just focus on taking care of your body.”
"Wanning, no one knows me better than my wife." Su Weicheng was once again deeply moved by his wife's "virtue and kindness."
"In that case, you should have a good rest!" Cao Wanning helped Su Weicheng lie down slowly, and carefully tidied up the corners of his bedding. "Hongdou went to the clinic with Doctor Liu to get medicine.
I really can't rest assured if I leave this matter to others, so it's better for me to go and check it out. After I get the herbs, I will arrange for them to be boiled in the small kitchen in my courtyard."
Su Weichen nodded slightly to indicate that he understood and there was no need to say more.
While he was not paying attention, Cao Wanning quickly put a cloisonné bracelet on her wrist, then turned around and walked out of the room.
She sat in the side hall of her courtyard for about half an hour, and Hongdou finally came back with the medicine bag.
And Hongdou also brought back someone - the servant who had been following them throughout Xichi Hutong.
This person was brought by Cao Wanning from the Cao family, so she had no doubt about his loyalty.
"Tell me! What happened in Xichi Hutong today?" Cao Wanning took the teacup, took a sip of tea, and asked slowly.
This man was also a straightforward person. He told everything he saw without hiding anything.
It turns out that the so-called mistress of Su Weicheng in Xichi Hutong is actually just a secret prostitute with more sophisticated means, and she has more than one man in her life, Su Weicheng.
Everything was going smoothly according to the woman's plan - she arranged the men's schedules clearly to ensure that there would be no conflicts or overlaps between them.
However, fate always likes to play jokes. One of the wealthy businessmen from other place was exactly like Su Weichen. He had no idea of the woman's true identity and only thought she was a good woman.
What's worse is that this wealthy businessman had been married for many years but still had no children. Now he heard that his mistress was pregnant. He was so ecstatic that he arrived in Jincheng several days ahead of schedule regardless of his original plan.
Of course, Cao Wanning’s secret instigation was indispensable in this. If he hadn’t tipped off the wealthy businessman in Zhejiang City, how could he have learned about his mistress’s pregnancy so quickly?
The woman thought she had it all figured out: when the rich businessman arrived, she would go to a Taoist temple or a Buddhist temple to pray for blessings, but in fact she was there to accompany the money man. But who would have thought that the rich businessman suddenly showed up early and caught her being intimate with her cousin.
The scene was already chaotic, but even more dramatic things were yet to come.
The woman's cousin-in-law got wind of the news from "somewhere" and came to catch the adulterer, and ended up trapping all three of them in the yard. This man came from the market town, and he started cursing right at the door, using words so dirty that they were unbearable to the ear.
Xichi Hutong is the gathering place for these women. She is not surprised to be scolded by people every now and then. But this woman has a rival who hates women to death. This is a good opportunity to add insult to injury!
The woman's neighbor asked her maid to notify all of her patrons. Of course, if the woman had not stolen the neighbor's customers, others would not have known it so clearly.
These people all like the behavior of a young white flower woman, and they all think that she was forced into prostitution.
This time, someone literally tore off my face and stepped on it.
When Su Weichen got the news and rushed over, the group of people had already started fighting.
Even Doctor Xu was pulled in for questioning and was even punched several times by the wealthy businessman from Zhejiang City because Doctor Xu was an acquaintance of him.
The final result was that no one benefited from the fight, and the woman was pushed by her cousin's wife. Now she was lying weakly in the yard drinking pregnancy-preserving medicine!
"Just thinking about it, I find that scene quite interesting." Cao Wanning smiled faintly, "Hearing what you said, I'm afraid that woman doesn't even know whose child it is."
"Whoever claims it owns it!" Hongdou couldn't help but interrupt.
"Okay, let's leave it at that!" Cao Wanning instructed Hongdou again, "Boil the medicine prescribed by Doctor Liu and bring it over! Things have already happened, no matter what, the most important thing is to take care of the master's health."
The servant left Cao Wanning's yard without saying anything else.
Hongdou felt sorry for her master, but she did not disobey her order and went downstairs with the medicine bag.
Cao Wanning knew Su Weicheng better. He probably had no intention of letting that woman in. He teamed up with Doctor Xu to arrange for Yue Niang to have a fake pregnancy.
I just wanted to wait until the woman gave birth and then bring the child home to raise, and then register it under Yue Niang's name.
After all, in this era, one son and one daughter are still a little less.
But he had just heard what Doctor Liu said, and even if the child was really his, he would no longer believe it.
