Chapter 1283 The Divorced Merchant's Daughter 5

"Speaking of which~"

Seeing her mother's hesitant expression, Shu Jiao said with a half-smile, "Mother, last time I saw Father go to the third house on Renxing Street. I heard from the residents there that there is a mistress living there."

"Are you aware of this?"

Shu's mother: !!!

Shu's mother panicked for a moment, but remained calm on the surface, "Okay, you know."

"Be careful,"

Shu Jiao snorted lightly, "An old woman over there said that she heard the mistress bragging that she would come in as someone's wife the day she got pregnant."

"Don't wait until it's time for me to travel all the way to the capital, and you send me a letter saying that your father has demoted you to a concubine..."

"Ding Dong."

The teacups in Shu's hands clinked gently, and her smile was somewhat forced. "How could that be? Your father, he's not that kind of person."

She was pretty sure her daughter probably already knew something.

If it wasn't them who slipped up, then something must have gone wrong on the Zhang family's side.

"Don't you know how much your father longed for a son?"

Shu Jiao chuckled. "Anyway, I've reminded you of this. You can figure out what to do yourself. I'll take Shu'er downstairs to rest now."

She led Zhang Shu by the hand and they returned to her courtyard, familiar with the way.

Shu's mother was left behind, her face changing from blue to purple and then to black. She quickly summoned her trusted confidants to Renxing Street to inquire about the matter.

This question, naturally, revealed something.

Hearing the woman inside boasting about her possible pregnancy and how she could soon replace the master's legal wife, Shu's mother's face turned extremely ugly.

OK!

very good!

Not only did the master keep a mistress outside without her knowledge, but he even dared to think of replacing her?!

“Send a letter to the clan, saying that the master is planning to choose a nephew from the clan to be adopted, and ask the clan to prepare a candidate.”

Neither of them are her biological sons, so she can choose either one.

Choosing someone from the clan would at least not threaten her position.

Unlike that mistress who came on strong and made things difficult for her.

As for whether the master is willing or not...

Ah.

As long as the master cannot have children, the clan will not care whether he is willing or not.

"Send some good stuff over to Renxing Street."

"Mother Shu said coldly."

Whether or not she was pregnant, there can only be one outcome for that child—

dead!

"look,"

After learning about her decisive and efficient manner, Shu Jiao sneered, "It's true that you don't feel the pain until you stab yourself. Now that you've stabbed yourself, aren't you afraid that my cheap father will be angry, or that he will divorce you?"

She went straight for an abortion.

Why is it that when the original owner of this body is in her body, she refuses to say a single word?

Even just a few perfunctory words of advice would be helpful.

But she did nothing, just cried a few times, and then acted as if nothing had happened.

003: "She probably felt that the original owner of this body was her nemesis."

After giving birth to the original owner, Shu's mother never conceived again.

The doctor said that the mother may have been injured when giving birth to the original owner.

So over the years, she both loved the original owner, her only daughter, whom she had conceived herself, and harbored unspeakable resentment and hatred towards her.

That was without considering the possibility that "Shu's father has a problem."

Shu's father also loved the original owner quite a bit.

But when faced with the prospect of personal gain, the original owner became nothing.

"never mind."

Shu Jiao waved her hand gently, coaxing Zhang Shu to sleep.

That evening, the head physician was summoned.

It is said that Mr. Shu had been feeling unwell since the afternoon, initially only having diarrhea, but now he has a high fever, is unconscious, and...

I was feeling dizzy while having diarrhea.

Shu's mother slept with him at night, but was woken up by a foul smell.

When she got up, she saw that half of her clothes were stained with clumps of a strange color, and she immediately turned pale and vomited.

When the imperial physician arrived, the scene was so chaotic that it was hard to describe.

"This……"

After taking her pulse for a while, the physician fell silent. "Madam, my medical skills are not good enough. You should find someone more skilled."

He had never seen this pulse pattern in all his years of medical practice.

He needs to go back and look through his medical books.

what?

Madam Shu was shocked and immediately sent someone to fetch a doctor with a good reputation. When the doctor came to the mansion, he shook his head.

Finished!

Is it that serious?

The first thing that came to Shu's mother's mind was—

Could we take this opportunity to get rid of that mistress who's eyeing her position?

Fortunately, after some deliberation, the doctors tentatively prescribed two medicines that were appropriate for the symptoms. After taking them, Mr. Shu's high fever gradually subsided.

The person hasn't woken up yet.

The household was in chaos all night, and Shu Jiao didn't even glance at it.

Shu's mother vaguely guessed that she already knew the truth, and knew that she had lost touch with the family, so she didn't think of calling her.

It did allow Shu Jiao and Zhang Shu to get a good night's sleep.

As soon as it was light, Shu Jiao went to the mansion to withdraw 10,000 taels of silver, saying that her father had said he would give it to her the day before. Then she took Zhang Shu out for a stroll.

Holding Shu Jiao's hand, Zhang Shu timidly followed behind her, looking around at this unfamiliar yet bustling place.

Her eyes held a deep curiosity and longing.

She rarely goes out.

Mr. Zhang said that his daughter should be gentle, polite, and learn proper etiquette and virtues, and that he should not let her go out.

They even rarely allowed the original owner to go home to visit relatives.

Occasionally, the original owner would bring Zhang Shu home to visit, citing a lack of money as the reason, but the frequency was low, probably only two or three times a year.

A small dough figurine, a string of candied hawthorns, or a tiny hair tie can make her happy for a very long time.

But today!

She can have it all.

Holding a sweet candied hawthorn in her hand and carrying a small clay figurine that resembled a mother and daughter, Zhang Shu smiled happily, "Mother, can we... come again for the New Year?"

New year.

There are still more than half a year until the Chinese New Year.

Zhang Shu didn't even dare to think about coming back to play next month, which shows how severely she was detained on a daily basis.

"Yes, anytime."

Shu Jiao led her on a leisurely stroll.

A farmer walked by the roadside carrying a load of grain on one end and two children, about one or two years old, on the other.

It was obvious at a glance that the family wasn't wealthy, but the atmosphere was very pleasant.

Zhang Shu glanced at it several times, then took a big bite of a candied hawthorn. "Mom, it's so sweet!"

"You shouldn't eat too much sugar."

"Good~"

Then I saw a middle-aged man carrying a little girl through the crowd; another toddler sat on his father's shoulders, watching the circus performance and clapping happily...

Zhang Shudu simply watched, silently tightening her grip on Shu Jiao's hand.

"Want a dad?"

When they stopped at the tea stall to rest, Shu Jiao asked a question.

Her gaze was quite obvious; although she would only glance at him a few times before looking away, it couldn't hide it from Shu Jiao.

Zhang Shu paused for a moment, then took a sip of the cold tea in the bowl and exclaimed, "I have a mother!"

She knew she had a father.

But it's been too long since we last met.

Too long...

So long that she thought her father was dead.

Two years ago, she would wake up in the middle of the night and see her mother secretly crying... She knew that she had occasionally heard people in the village say that she and her mother had been abandoned by their father...

So, she didn't want that father anymore.

Her father died.

Just like my great-grandfather, he died and couldn't come back to see his wife and daughter again!
