"Why can't I do it? Can't I cook?" As soon as she said this, not only did she sound unconvincing, but it also revealed the fact that she wasn't very good at cooking.
In truth, she really couldn't cook. If it weren't for the money from Wan Mansion and the feeling of being served by a group of maids, she wouldn't have come here at all.
"Alright, alright, just stay here!" Liu Qingzhi made a decision after thinking for a while.
Nearly a year of living in the inner quarters had transformed her; she was no longer the naive person she once was.
Otherwise, how could she stand out among so many concubines? How could she become pregnant?
Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that Madam Wan had become somewhat lax. In any case, all her current assets were tied to the life growing inside her.
With Wang here, at least there was someone reliable to help with various matters.
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll help you here, hehehe!" Wang tossed her bundle onto the table and sat down in a chair, crossing her legs. "Daughter, your life here is so much better. Look at me; what kind of life am I living at home?"
"Your elder brother is disobedient, and your father isn't home. Really, why should I work myself to death? So be it; it's better to come here and enjoy some blessings."
In an instant, Wang's mindset took a complete turn; she began to see this place as her own home. In her eyes, everything here would eventually belong to her.
If Wandehai knew Wang's inner thoughts, he might just spit blood in shock.
However, for now, it seemed fine. At least Wang knew not to act so arrogantly in front of outsiders.
In the Inner Room, Wang quietly pulled Liu Qingzhi inside and squinted her eyes to ask, "How is it? Did the recipe I gave you work?"
"Of course it worked! If it weren't for you, how could I have gotten pregnant so quickly?"
It turned out that Liu Qingzhi's pregnancy was entirely thanks to her mother, Wang.
For a woman without any foundation in the inner quarters who wanted to live a stable life and gain status, what was the most reliable way? Of course, it was through having children.
Since ancient times, this has been a powerful tool for women vying for favor, and by a stroke of luck, Liu Qingzhi has become one of those who are pregnant.
Wang Shi truly had something up her sleeve; it was a remedy passed down from her mother about how women could conceive quickly. It had been tried and tested countless times, and she only revealed it at the last moment.
As for others? Wang Shi had never let anyone know she possessed this trick.
"Don't worry, don't worry, your mother is here. I guarantee your baby will be healthy and chubby. You know, I raised several of you siblings in just a few short years; I have plenty of experience."
In the Wanjia Main Courtyard, Madam Wan's face was a mix of green and red; how could she remain calm when someone was riding on her neck?
"Liu Qingzhi, don't blame me. I originally intended to keep a low profile and not intervene, but you've been too arrogant lately. If the child is born..." would there still be a place for her?
A sinister smile crept onto her lips; this was not the first time she had done such a thing, and Madam Wan was quite adept at it.
At that moment, Liu Qingzhi had no idea that while she was inciting Wandehai to trouble Liu Qingxi, Madam Wan had already regarded her as a thorn in her side.
In a certain tavern in Biqi Town,
A man with a large belly was in high spirits; his wife was pregnant. What did that mean? It meant his virility had not diminished over the years. How could such an affirmation of male pride not make him happy?
This man was none other than Wandehai, and he was there because of Liu Qingzhi, trying to gather information about Liu Qingxi.
Listening to his subordinate's report, Wandehai disdainfully said, "She's just an inexperienced girl; crushing her is just a matter of a word or two."
But is it really that simple? That remains to be seen.
In any case, Liu Qingxi had never taken these matters to heart, but someone else was concerned about her situation.
While Wandehai was investigating Liu Qingxi, someone received news and deliberately set up several obstacles to confuse the situation. As a result, the information Wandehai ultimately obtained was not entirely true.
He overestimated himself and underestimated others.
This teaches us a lesson: one should never fear their opponents, but at the same time, one must never look down on them.
In Ten Li Pu, everyone was full of energy. It would have been fine if everyone's living standards remained the same, but over time, neighbors became prosperous one by one, leaving only his family behind. Why shouldn't he work hard? It's time to get to work.
Thus, this created a very good atmosphere.
Men and women, old and young, squatted down at the foot of the mountain and halfway up, digging for wild vegetables.
Whenever Liu Qingxi gave something to Liu Laosi and Liu Laowu, they would each leave a bundle of firewood at Liu Qingxi's house. Even if she refused it, they would still leave it behind.
And they did so quietly, placing it down without a word and leaving before she could even react.
Only the girl was left with a helpless smile; these two uncles were really too serious.
Once again, when Liu Laosi was about to leave after dropping off the items, Liu Qingxi stood on her tiptoes and suddenly called out, "Fourth Uncle."
Liu Laosi turned around, raising his eyebrows in confusion. "Qingxi, do you need something?"
"Um," Liu Qingxi thought about what she wanted to say and suddenly felt it wasn't quite appropriate; she couldn't make any encouraging gestures.
However, overall, these two families were rare good bamboo shoots from the Liu Family. Wasn't that a bit...?
"Fourth Uncle, have you ever thought about living for yourself? After all, Auntie..."
Then she felt it was inappropriate again. "Fourth Uncle, you can pretend I didn't say anything. I'm just being casual; you should go ahead with your business. No need to bring me firewood anymore; we have enough at home. Soon someone from the village will bring some."
Liu Laosi remained immersed in Liu Qingxi's words. Although this thought had crossed his mind more than once before.
Back in the cave, he pulled Liu Laowu along to discuss their plans.
Yan and the five sons of the Qin Family, excluding the deceased Liu Laosan, left four sons. The two elders undoubtedly favored the First Branch and Second House, while their Fourth House and Fifth Branch could lead to a bleak existence.
After sharing his thoughts with Liu Laowu, he quietly awaited the other's response.
Compared to Liu Laosi, Liu Laowu was the most honest and sincere: "Four of us, won't that be a bit too much?"
Although he internally agreed with Liu Laosi's perspective, he kept it to himself.
"But look at our lives; it's simply unbearable. Qingxi, a single Young Lady, can achieve so much. Why can't we, as men, do the same?"
It seemed that this time Liu Laosi was determined: "If both of us go, our chances will be greater."
With a one-to-one ratio, they believed their odds were high.
He had been hesitant and had subtly hinted to Yan before, but received no response.
Today, Liu Qingxi's words had enlightened him: life is short, just a few decades; why not live for oneself?
At the Liu Family's New Residence, upon seeing their two sons arrive, the elderly couple appeared visibly stunned.
