C102

The joy on Aunt Chen's face grew. "I would like to ask Miss to lend me a thousand taels of silver."

I looked at Aunt Chen's stomach and smiled. I wasn't yet pregnant, so I couldn't tell if she was a man or a woman.

I was five months pregnant by then, with a round belly and a lot of people looking at it and saying that I was afraid it was a girl inside.

It could be seen that they said that the belly was the son, and the belly was the daughter.

What's more, Aunt Chen hadn't even shown her stomach yet, so why did she need to take the medicine so urgently? What made me even more lost in thought was, as a female servant of the inner chamber, how did she know about this pill?

"Where did Aunt learn about this Reincarnation Pill?" As soon as I thought about it, I felt like drinking a cup of water. Looking up, I realised that they were inside the inner room of Aunt Chen's house. Where was the tea to be drunk from?

With my mouth and tongue parched, I stood inside the screen again. I couldn't help but feel a little irritated. I just wanted to end it as soon as possible.

But Aunt Chen refused to tell him where she got it.

I saw that she didn't want to say who she was, and I didn't want to waste my time talking to her. I didn't care if she was pregnant or not.

When Aunt Chen saw me struggle free, she quickly caught up to me and begged me not to leave.

"I heard it from my mother. She said that she used it when she was pregnant."

Mother used the Reincarnation Pill? I don't know. However, Mama Chen was someone close to her mother, so it wasn't strange for her to know about it. I'm sorry that my mother was born with a small birth just because she had a falling out with someone, but it has nothing to do with the pill.

What was suspicious was that Mama Chen must have known what was going on in her heart. How could she tell her daughter that it was going to be useful?

Now that she knew the harm of this Reincarnation Pill, Aunt Chen probably wouldn't use it anymore, right? As for Mama Chen's intentions, it seems that I need to investigate them.

I tried my best to keep my expression calm as I gently caressed Aunt Chen's stomach. It was a pity that it was only an ordinary place without the feeling of a fetus.

"Has Aunt ever thought that this pill could turn a woman's womb into a man's, or a man's womb into a woman's?"

I carefully observed the change in Aunt Chen's expression. Aunt Chen obviously thought of this, so she just bit her lips.

"Has Aunt ever thought that mother's miscarriage that year had anything to do with this pill?"

Aunt Chen looked at me in horror. "Why would my mother harm me?"

This question of Aunt Chen's was also a question in my heart. How could Mama Chen, who doted on her daughter so dearly, put her in such danger?

The birth of a woman was like a door to hell. If one was not careful, the fetus would die and the mother and child would die.

"My mother took good care of it back then, but it was still difficult to protect the fetus in its womb. How does Aunt feel about this?" I patiently guided her, and Aunt Chen's expression relaxed a little.

Following that, I changed the topic and smiled as I held Aunt Chen's hand. "I think Aunt really worried about me. Even if this is a girl, Aunt is still so young and beautiful, and Grandmother is very strict with her. She definitely won't continue to help Father accept newbies. Aunt can also take advantage of this opportunity."

A shyness slipped across Aunt Chen's face. She no longer brought up the matter of the pill, so I felt a little more at ease.

I carefully looked at Aunt Chen's clothes and praised, "Aunt's clothes make you know that Daddy thinks highly of your child. If Daddy can't protect his child, I don't know how sad Daddy will be. Aunt's place in my father's heart …"

I've already said everything that needed to be said. Judging from Aunt Chen's demeanor, it seems that she had given up on the matter regarding the Reincarnation Pill.

I dragged Aunt Chen out, put her on the bed, and had another chat with her before I went out.

This time, Lady Chen didn't stop me and even pointed to Mother Chen to send me off.

Mama Chen was still following me respectfully.

Walking to the intersection between the side courtyard and the main courtyard, I stopped at the Moon's Passage Gate and looked back with a smile at Mama Chen.

"Has Mommy ever heard of a tiger that doesn't eat its prey?"

Mother Chen also laughed, as if she had already expected that I would ask this question.

"This servant doesn't know the meaning behind Miss's question." In less than half a year, Mama Chen had aged quite a bit.

I caressed the glossy leaves of the nearby branches, my eyes full of love.

"Does Mommy know that the women who give birth have a slim chance of survival?" I mean.

"I heard that most of the women who give birth to a baby during the month are not in any danger."

Moon is small? Aunt Chen was not even three months pregnant, so it could be said that she was still young. Just looking at how Aunt Chen was able to gain a foothold in the Yang family, why did her mother want to end this road?

"I just went in, and Madame Chen is looking at her stomach in anticipation."

Which mother wouldn't be full of joy waiting for their child to be born? Even Aunt Chen, who had used her child like this, turned pale when she heard that the medicine would hurt her child.

"She's still young. I don't know what's better for her." Mother Chen smiled, revealing a row of yellowing teeth. In the sunlight, I fell into a trance for a moment, as if I had returned to the afternoon when I had poured the medicine into my mouth.

"You're a madman!"

I never thought that someone would actually kill my own daughter! The child he brought up was his mother's treasure.

It looked like I had to think of a way to separate her from Aunt Chen! But what could she do to keep her grandmother from being suspicious? Who would believe that Mama Chen wanted to harm the child in Aunt Chen's womb?

What he wanted to do was not simple.

When I returned to my grandmother's courtyard, she was waiting for me to eat dinner. I sat down next to her and told her in a soft voice about Aunt Chen's situation without mentioning the matter of the reincarnation pill at all.

Although Grandmother was smiling, there was a hint of unease in her expression. I wanted to mention the matter of Mother Chen to Grandmother, but I swallowed my words back.

After having lunch with my grandmother and taking care of my grandmother, I leaned on my grandmother's kang and flipped through my grandmother's Buddhist scriptures.

Suddenly my mother came through the door. I wanted to stand up and salute her, but she waved me away.

Seeing that my grandmother was still sleeping, my mother took off her shoes and sat down on the kang opposite me. She also picked up a scripture of Buddhism and started reading.

Suddenly I had an excellent idea!
