Chapter 104 From now on, I can only watch her from afar (51)
Before the scar removal cream was obtained, news came that Xiao Liu was pregnant, making Madam Xiao feel like she was under attack from both sides.
She frowned, feeling uneasy and anxious.
Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but think of her husband's indifference and neglect towards her during this period, and she felt more and more uncomfortable.
Which woman wouldn't get pregnant? Why was it that his cousin was so precious and received special treatment?
What made her even more angry was that her husband even suggested that if Xiao Liu gave birth to a son, he would make her his second wife.
This is undoubtedly a threat to Mrs. Xiao's status and a denial of her hard work over the years.
At the same time, Xiao Liu was sitting peacefully in the room, drinking the "tonics" sent by the "big kitchen" elegantly.
Her maid Lan Xu stood beside her, looking at her worriedly.
Lan Xu couldn't help but say, "Master, this thing..." However, she hesitated to speak, as if she had some concerns that she dared not say out loud.
Xiao Liu didn't take it seriously. She smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, it's just a few times, it won't kill anyone. I know you're worried, but this is a move we have to make."
She gently stroked her abdomen, with a trace of determination in her eyes: "I just feel sorry for my belly. At the last minute, I have to suffer this time."
It turned out that Xiao Liu was not pregnant, she was just taking some fake pregnancy drugs.
The reason why she did this was not just to win favor or pursue the position of co-wife.
Her ambitions go far beyond this, she wants more, and this fake pregnancy is just one part of her plan.
To be honest, Xiao Liu was Duke Xiao's legal fiancée, but unfortunately their friendship could not withstand the temptation of interests.
The lovers who were in love with each other eventually succumbed to the desire to restore the prestige of the Duke's Mansion, but perhaps this cousin was not a good person from the beginning.
"You must arrange for someone to take good care of the children raised in Yangliu Lane. If they start to make trouble, bring them back!" Xiao Liu sighed, "This is my chance, and it's also theirs."
It turns out that on the surface Duke Xiao only has one son, Xiao Ji, but in fact he has many illegitimate children outside the mansion.
The ones chosen by Xiao Liu were a pair of twins who had just turned ten years old. Their mother passed away two years ago. The most important thing was that these two children had a deep admiration for Xiao Liu.
Not only because Xiao Liu had taken care of them over the past two years, but also because she looked 80% similar to the biological mother of these two children.
Is this why she said that this cousin has actually been a bad person for a long time?
Although he said that friendship is priceless, he still disliked her age and found a younger, prettier woman who resembled himself to "reminisce" about his "lost" youth.
It was from that moment that Xiao Liu put aside the last bit of hesitation in her heart and decided to become the mistress of Duke Xiao's Mansion.
After waiting for two whole years, this opportunity finally came. Although the Crown Prince has flaws, his position may not be revoked for the time being, but it is almost certain that he will never be able to enter the officialdom again.
Half a month before the Enke exam began, Duke Xiao's concubine suddenly had a miscarriage and almost died from heavy bleeding.
After a period of chaos and turmoil, Mrs. Xiao was accused of "not being a good housekeeper" and was moved to a Buddhist temple overnight to reflect on her mistakes.
Xiao Ji was even put under house arrest.
Three days after the incident, Duke Xiao brought back a pair of twins from outside.
The two children looked like Duke Xiao, and sometimes even had the same expressions as him. The two children were soon included in the family tree and recorded under the name of Xiao Liu, the "equal wife" who had recently obtained the right to manage the household.
"Master has been so kind to me, I really don't know how to repay him!" Xiao Liu, who was still lying in bed recuperating, wiped away her tears excitedly, "I will definitely raise the two children well and let them bring honor to the Duke's Mansion."
Smelling the undisguised smell of medicine and blood in the room, Duke Xiao frowned slightly: "My cousin is already my second wife, so you should call me cousin from now on!
I haven't heard you call me for so many years, I still miss you a little! I am completely relieved to leave the affairs of this family to you, but Ji'er is still the prince of the Duke, so you should take better care of him. "
"Of course, my children will still need to rely on their elder brother in the future!" Xiao Liu smiled and virtuously "persuaded" him, "Cousin, I have a lot of blood here, which is not good for you. You should get out soon. When I get better, come and see me again."
"Well! Then you should have a good rest." After saying that, Duke Xiao walked out.
"Madam, is that it?" Lan Xu didn't understand. Now was the time to gain sympathy, but Madam was still urging the Duke to leave!
Xiao Liu adjusted her hair and said, "I am disheveled and the room smells bad. He doesn't want to stay any longer, and it will also damage my image in his mind."
"By the way, the two children are in our courtyard now. Madam, would you like to see them?" Lan Xu asked uncertainly.
"There's a long way to go!" Xiao Liu slowly lay down, "You don't have to replace the things they use with too good ones all at once, you have to do it little by little! You should understand the matter of raising a heart."
After hearing this, Lan Xu couldn't help but think of Xiao Mei.
