In the spring of the 24th year of Yonghe in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the weather was bright and sunny.
Nanyang Marquis Mansion, Peony Garden
Tang Cheng stared at the bowl of black stuff in his hand, his nose filled with the unpleasant smell of medicine, and he was hesitant to move.
The maid Shanhu saw that the Fourth Young Miss did not move and felt a little uneasy, so she hurriedly urged her.
"Miss, please drink it quickly. This is the medicine that I took great pains to get for you."
Tang Cheng had just arrived and had just taken over the body that the original owner had abandoned. There was also a stranger beside her and she had not had time to receive the original owner's memories. Tang Cheng would not drink anything before figuring out the situation. She glanced at the young woman in green next to her who was urging her to take medicine.
"You go out first."
Coral was stunned, her eyes full of surprise.
"Miss… "
"go out!"
Tang Cheng didn't know who the woman in front of him was, but when he heard her calling him "Miss", she should be a servant, so Tang Cheng immediately sent her away.
Shanhu's face turned pale and blue. She obviously did not expect that she, the maid most trusted by the young lady, would be driven away by the young lady. She bit her lip and looked at the blue and white porcelain bowl in the young lady's hand. She wished she could pour the medicine into the young lady's mouth herself, but she did not dare to do so. If she angered the young lady, she would not end well.
The young lady is not someone to be trifled with. Seeing her slightly annoyed face, Shanhu lowered her head unwillingly and responded, then walked out.
Tang Cheng was the only one left in the room. She first took a look at the furnishings in the room and found that the room was full of retro wooden furniture, which was very exquisite and elegant. There was no danger around. Tang Cheng immediately closed her eyes, and the memories of the original owner also emerged.
A quarter of an hour later, Tang Cheng integrated the original owner's memory and finally knew the current era and situation. She should have traveled to the legendary ancient feudal era when technology had not yet appeared.
There is no convenient technology, but all women can give birth, and there is no so-called fertility value.
Tang Cheng's beautiful almond-shaped eyes stared at the black medicine in her hand in shock. Thinking of the original owner's choice in her memory and her attitude of strangling the little life in her belly without hesitation, a hint of anger suddenly rose on her delicate and beautiful face.
She walked to the window without hesitation and poured the medicine in her hand directly out of the window.
Just as the medicine was poured out, a maid in blue rushed in and saw the empty porcelain bowl in Tang Cheng's hand. Her face showed despair. Miss, Miss actually drank the abortion pill.
Damn coral!
When she wasn't paying attention, he secretly got abortion pills for the lady and deliberately sent her away.
"Miss, Miss, did you drink that bowl of medicine?"
The maid Zhenzhu looked anxious as she wanted to confirm, her voice was slightly panting, and beads of sweat were oozing from the tip of her nose, obviously she had come in a hurry.
Tang Cheng's expression eased slightly when she saw the visitor. She knew that the pretty girl in blue in front of her was called Zhenzhu, and was a confidant of the original owner's father, the Marquis. However, the original owner had always disliked this maid who liked to advise her, and trusted the maid Shanhu who only flattered her, was cunning and had bad intentions.
"No, I poured it out."
When Tang Cheng thought of the original owner's act of having an abortion without telling anyone, a hint of anger emerged between her brows. She was born with a fertility value of zero, and it was impossible for her to have children in her lifetime. She really wanted to have a baby of her own. The original owner had the physique that was easy to get pregnant that she had always dreamed of, but she did not know how to cherish it and actually wanted to have an abortion.
Fortunately she came.
This was a feudal dynasty without technology. The lifespan of the people here was extremely short, not as long-lived as the interstellar people. The original owner was a daughter of a marquis. Like her, she was born into a powerful family and was also spoiled. However, her background was much worse than hers and she was a concubine's daughter. However, Tang Cheng did not despise her.
It's good enough to be alive.
Not to mention that I picked up a baby for free.
Tang Cheng tried hard to suppress the curled corners of his mouth, but he couldn't hide the joy in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.
After living for twenty-four years, she finally had her own baby.
Pearl was stunned at first, then her face showed ecstasy, and after a while she asked cautiously: "Miss, have you decided to keep the baby in your belly?"
Tang Cheng nodded as a matter of course, and her hand unconsciously stroked her extremely flat belly. She was also pregnant, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
"Pearl, I've come to my senses now. The Fourth Prince doesn't like me, so why should I be so foolish as to like him? In fact, marrying Prince Wen is not bad either."
But I thought in my heart, as long as I have a baby and delicious food, who would care about the Fourth Prince or Prince Wen? No, Prince Wen is the baby's father, so I have to care about him.
The baby must have a complete family.
When Pearl heard what the young lady said, she was finally relieved and almost cried for joy: "That's great, young lady, it's really great that you think so."
"Prince Wen is a good man, your choice will not be wrong!"
It was difficult for Prince Wen to have children, so the young lady was extremely lucky to have accidentally conceived Prince Wen's child. Perhaps the child in the young lady's belly was Prince Wen's only child, and would have the hope of inheriting the title in the future.
This is much more practical than being the fourth prince's concubine.
Tang Cheng nodded in agreement. The original owner's biological mother was the most beloved woman of Marquis Nanyang and the white moonlight in his heart. Therefore, the original owner, a little concubine's daughter, was more favored than the legitimate daughter. This cultivated the original owner's arrogant character. She was determined to marry into the royal family and fantasized about becoming a superior person one day.
Tang Cheng herself was a proud young lady from a noble family. Even though she might never get married due to her fertility value being zero, she had never thought of becoming someone's concubine.
In fact, it’s quite nice to marry Prince Wen and become his wife.
Duke Zhenguo Jian is in the emperor's favor and holds great power. However, in the eyes of the original owner, no matter how powerful the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion is, it is still a subject and cannot compare with the noble royal family. The original owner could not swallow this humiliation and relied on the favor of Marquis Nanyang to do whatever she wanted. She even tried to abort the child and marry the fourth prince, just like a moth to a flame.
"Pearl, I'm hungry, go to the kitchen and get me something to eat."
Thinking of the wonderful days in the future when she would have a baby and delicious food, Tang Cheng smiled with joy and said in a cheerful tone, "She touched her belly and found a little guy here, and she felt so lucky."
If her relatives knew that she was able to travel through time and space and survive the spaceship explosion, and was lucky enough to have her own baby, they would probably be very happy.
Zhenzhu hurriedly took the order, but the maid Shanhu came in hesitantly at this time. She glanced at the empty porcelain bowl in Zhenzhu's hand, and a secret joy flashed across her eyes.
"Miss, you...did you drink that bowl of medicine?"
Pearl, who did not leave, glared at Coral. The young lady had just given up the idea of taking the abortion pill, and she couldn't let Coral's sweet talk ruin her plan.
She looked at the lady nervously.
Tang Cheng glanced at Shan Hu who had instigated the original owner to have an abortion and said, "I won't drink anymore. I've decided to give birth to the child."
This Coral has a pretty and fair face, lively eyes, and a small mouth that is very good at pleasing the original owner. She is the original owner's favorite maid. Unlike Pearl, who is the Marquis of Nanyang, this Coral was bought by the original owner.
Tang Cheng doesn't like her.
It's obvious that this maid named Shanhu is not a contented person.
Shanhu was horrified and said anxiously, "Miss, you can't keep this child. If the Fourth Prince finds out, you will have no hope."
In fact, the news had already spread widely outside. Shanhu took advantage of the fact that Tang Cheng was detained in the yard by Nanyang Marquis and was unaware of the situation and deceived Tang Cheng.
Pearl on the side shouted angrily, "Shanhu, how long do you want to deceive Miss? The news of Miss's pregnancy has been spread a long time ago. How could the Fourth Prince not know about it? Miss is now the fiancée of Prince Wen and is pregnant with Prince Wen's child. You have mentioned the Fourth Prince again and again and encouraged Miss to have an abortion. You must have bad intentions."
If it weren't for the baby in her belly, the young lady's status as a bastard would have allowed her to marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion as a concubine. After she had the child, the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife relented after the Marquis's efforts and married the young lady as his principal wife.
This is a great blessing.
Shanhu was shocked when she saw the young lady's expressionless face, and she quickly argued: "Zhenzhu, I am doing this for the young lady's own good. The young lady obviously likes the Fourth Prince, but she is pregnant with Prince Wen's child. As long as the child is still there, there is no possibility for the young lady and the Fourth Prince to be together."
Pearl was very anxious: "Miss, you know the Fourth Prince's attitude towards you. You must not listen to Shanhu and abort the child."
Tang Cheng listened to Shanhu talking about the Fourth Prince whom the original owner loved and the child in her belly all the time, just to persuade her to have an abortion, and he was really unwilling to give up.
"Shut up, stop arguing. I've decided to keep this child, Pearl. Tell me when daddy comes back later."
Pearl was overjoyed and nodded quickly: "Okay, don't worry, Miss."
Shanhu wanted to say something, but was glared at by Tang Cheng's terrifying eyes. She swallowed the words back and was secretly anxious. She didn't know what kind of magic potion Zhenzhu had given the young lady, and the young lady actually decided to keep Master Wen's child.
"You all go down."
Tang Cheng waved her hand, glanced at Shanhu who kept looking back every few steps, and frowned. She planned to inform Nanyang Marquis and sell the maid Shanhu when he returned home.
I believe that if Nanyang Hou takes action, he will be able to completely solve the hidden danger of coral.
The original owner was flattered by Coral and regarded Coral as her confidant. She was not the little fool like the original owner. How could she not see Coral's ill intentions? In this ancient time when men were superior to women, the imperial power was supreme and a woman's reputation was extremely important. The original owner had a very bad reputation. She was arrogant and willful, ignorant and uneducated, and she was a spoiled brat... Tang Cheng didn't care much.
It's better than compromising.
Coral, the most trusted maid of the original owner, kept urging the original owner to abort the child... She is so evil!
Tang Cheng had no intention of keeping a restless maid who was always scheming against her master.
Tang Cheng felt that there was no need to collect evidence to sell off a little maid like Shanhu, as it was only natural for a master to sell off a servant.
The Marquis father who doted on the original owner would definitely support her.
Tang Cheng stroked his belly, and a handsome face emerged in his mind. He was very satisfied with the genes of the baby's father. As for the fourth prince that the original owner was obsessed with...
An insignificant person, Tang Cheng had long forgotten about him.
Half an hour later, Zhenzhu, with a smile on her face, led several maids to bring up the hot meals in an orderly manner. They arranged the dishes one by one. The dishes were exquisite, the cakes were delicious, and the aroma was everywhere.
"Miss, please have your meal!"
As expected of the fourth young lady, the most favored one in the Marquis' Mansion, all of these meals were exquisite and delicious. Even though her reputation was ruined and she was notorious, and she was pregnant before marriage, her status in the Nanyang Marquis' Mansion was not shaken at all.
The Marquis father doted on Tang Cheng to the extreme.
Tang Cheng was very satisfied with the original owner's favor. She herself was also the apple of her parents' and brothers' eyes, and could not tolerate any grievance.
Tang Cheng happily enjoyed the food and drank the hot and delicious fish soup. The original owner's life was no different from her previous life.
There was no decrease in quality of life.
Tang Cheng was quite satisfied.
In fact, when Tang Cheng was in this body, the original owner did not disappear. After reading her memory, she couldn't wait to reincarnate and wanted to be reborn into her world. Tang Cheng could not forget the words that the original owner left with disgust before she left.
"This body is dirty. I don't want it anymore. If you want it, I'll give it to you. If you don't want it, that's fine. I don't want it anyway."
She didn't care about the life or death of the baby in her belly, nor did she care about her doting father, the Marquis.
Tang Cheng really couldn't understand the original owner's choice. If the original owner didn't leave, she wouldn't be able to return to her original world and would truly die. But the original owner was unwilling to return to her body, so after the original owner left, Tang Cheng happily stayed to take over the original owner's mess and give birth to the baby in her belly.
Tang Cheng enjoyed the delicious meal and sighed with satisfaction.
Staying was indeed the right decision, Tang Cheng couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
