The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 1210 - 280: Aunt

Upon hearing that Xie Yi was pregnant, and with Mo Heng’s child, Second Madam Zheng and Zheng Yuehan were thoroughly shocked.

Zheng Yuehan immediately demanded, "Is it true or false? Are you really carrying Mo Heng’s child!?" She felt extremely jealous inside, clearly being better than Xie Yi in every aspect and even more beautiful. She was only good at crying pitifully after losing her parents.

Xie Yi nodded, "But they still don’t know. I found out only after I escaped."

Zheng Yuehan’s expression turned ugly. Mo Heng, a man as handsome as a Celestial God, just being close to him made her heart race. Yet, she was left disgraced and could only long for him from afar. Xie Yi, that despicable girl, had been so intimately close to him and even got pregnant, it was utterly infuriating!

Second Madam Zheng had a flurry of thoughts. Looking at Xie Yi’s calm face, she asked, "What are you planning to do by coming back? Stay at our house and quietly give birth to the child? Or should we support you to return to Tiance Mansion and become a concubine?"

Xie Yi cast her eyes down, "Let’s return to the city first, Second Aunt! I am set on becoming the Marquis’s Concubine!"

Zheng Yuehan still couldn’t believe it, reaching out to touch her belly, "Are you really pregnant? For how many months? When did this happen? We haven’t received any news at all!"

Second Madam Zheng instructed the coachman to take them home, "Let’s talk more at home."

All the way home, Xie Yi merely held her slightly protruding belly and did not speak.

When they arrived at the Zheng family home and saw Old Lady Zheng, Second Old Master Zheng, and others, Xie Yi finally explained the incident about moving to Tiance Mansion after New Year’s, "It was during New Year’s that the Marquis, drunk as he was, mistook me for Madam Pei. After sobering up, although the Marquis was furious, given that I was already with him, he couldn’t just let me be someone else’s concubine. But we were discovered by Madam Pei’s brother and brother-in-law. Madam Pei also arrived later, which infuriated the Marquis. They chopped off my hands and even planned to sell me to the Hidden Kiln. It was Pei Wendong who pleaded for me, and the Marquis let him send me and my brother back to our hometown. Who knew we almost died on the way? Fortunately, we were saved by a respected individual, and I managed to escape with my brother. Later, I discovered I was pregnant... This child is the Marquis’s flesh and blood, the child cannot be without a father!" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Her story was seamless. However, Eldest Madam Zheng no longer believed Xie Yi. Pei Wendong had saved them, and even if not out of gratitude, she shouldn’t have harbored such schemes. Second Madam’s and Xie Ze’s messages, although unseen, were known to her. Mo Heng was very handsome, and the Marquis Mansion was rich and glorious; it was understandable for Xie Yi to be blinded by that, but their unilateral schemes were simply a suicide mission!

Elder Master Zheng considered that, although it was unpleasant on the surface, if Xie Yi truly entered the Marquis Mansion and became Mo Heng’s concubine and bore a son, that son would be the future heir to the Marquis Mansion.

Eldest Madam Zheng decisively pulled him away, "Regardless of your plans, we must split the family first! We won’t bear any troubles anymore. If there are fortune and glory to be had, we don’t need to partake!" No matter what happened this time, even if Old Lady Zheng cried and complained, she was determined to split the family!

She had long been clamoring to split the family. The second branch had their private properties and wasn’t afraid of splitting.

However, Old Lady Zheng started crying again, not wanting to split the family, wanting the first branch to guide the second branch, the second branch supporting the first. She favored the second branch, wanting to live with her younger son. But the younger son’s service wasn’t meticulous enough, lacking compared to the eldest daughter-in-law.

Eldest Madam Zheng made up her mind, "Old Lady shouldn’t cry anymore. As a tree branches out, so must a family divide. From now on, whatever the second branch does, it has nothing to do with us! I won’t intervene in these domestic matters anymore. If Old Lady wants to stay with the first branch, she can; if she misses the second branch, she can stay with them for some days. Distance makes the heart grow fonder! But as for Xie Yi’s matter, the Zheng family will not be involved!"

"What are you saying, Sister-in-law? In the face of trouble, you don’t want to contribute, but when benefits arise, you rush to them! What is this? Wanting the benefits without getting your hands dirty?" Second Madam Zheng scoffed disdainfully.

"We, the first branch, will not take any benefits; it’s all yours!" Eldest Madam Zheng said, glancing at Elder Master Zheng. She had long discussed with the Elder Master that they must split the family.

Elder Master Zheng looked at Xie Yi, emotionally moved again, and pulled her aside to speak, "Now that Xie Yi is pregnant with Mo Heng’s child, and it’s a son, he will be the Son of the Xining Marquis! We are in a difficult situation now, but the future prospects are boundless."
