Chapter 204 The Cannon Fodder Wife in the Ancient Time Traveling Novel 11
In the following days, the whole mansion was covered with white cloth, and in the front yard, people were banging and chanting sutras to pray for the deceased. However, Xia Xiaoxiao was not affected at all in her yard, eating and drinking, and staying in bed to take care of her baby!
Wang saw her daughter living so happily as if nothing had happened, as if everything outside had nothing to do with her. She also thought of the atmosphere of sadness and sorrow outside the yard, and felt that the yard and the outside world were two different worlds.
Seeing her daughter like this, she almost forgot that her son-in-law, her daughter's husband, was still lying in the coffin in the outer yard.
"Xiaoxiao, my daughter, do you think it's really okay for us to do this? Even if you cry all day, at least you should put on some expression." Wang accompanied her daughter in the rocking chair, eating nuts, with a cup of hot tea made with milk at hand. She took a sip from time to time. Hmm, it tasted good, without any fishy smell.
She felt sorry for her son-in-law! How much virtue and sin did he commit in his previous life that led to the kind of wife he married in this life? Although this wife was her daughter, she swears by God, she never taught her these things.
She even dared to swear that no matter how many generations of Xia's ancestors went back, no matter if it was a boy or a girl, there had never been a child like her daughter. Of course, neither had her Wang family. Her daughter was fine before she got married. She must have learned bad things in the Marquis' Mansion. Yes, definitely!
"What's wrong with that? Am I not nurturing the baby? How can the baby be healthy if I don't eat and drink well? Besides, these things are what the baby wants to eat, and I'm just a delivery man. As for mother, if you don't eat and drink better, how can you have the energy to take care of me, a pregnant woman with three children who has lost her husband, is heartbroken, and has a miscarriage?" Xia Xiaoxiao didn't care at all.
"Why do I feel like you're going to celebrate by cracking a whip? Don't you care about your son-in-law at all? The Marquis doesn't seem to have offended you, does he?" Could it be that the Marquis's Mansion had wronged her daughter? But it didn't look like that.
"Of course I care, how could I not care? He's my husband, the man beside me. I've had three miscarriages, and I've even vomited blood." She wouldn't admit that she didn't care, even if her own mother said so. All her relatives and friends knew that she was deeply in love with him.
Wang rolled her eyes ungracefully. If you put less food in your mouth, she would still believe you! But now? She believes you. Didn't you see that the makeup on your pale face is falling off? Suddenly she paused. She felt that she had learned bad things from her daughter. This mansion must be poisonous. People will mutate if they stay there for a long time.
Wang stayed with her for two days, and seeing that she really had nothing to do, she even took time to go back and arrange some things. After all, she was also the mistress of a mansion, in charge of the household affairs, and couldn't always stay at her daughter's house. Besides, the New Year was coming soon, and there were still many things to arrange.
Until the funeral of the Marquis, Xia Xiaoxiao never showed up. All we knew was that the smell of medicine in her yard never stopped! As for the situation in the yard, no one except Wang knew anything! Even if Wang came out and asked her, she would just shake her head and sigh with a sad face, and she would wipe her tears if she was asked again.
Afterwards, everyone banged and carried this unknown man into the Leng family's ancestral tomb and buried him.
All the funeral arrangements were completed, and Leng Mufeng was transformed into a wooden sign and moved into the Leng Family Ancestral Hall! It was the end of the year, and the day after tomorrow was the Chinese New Year. However, the entire Marquisate was closed for mourning, and there was no atmosphere of the Chinese New Year at all. The whole place was dead and gloomy.
After the funeral, Mrs. Leng's hair, which used to be black and shiny, turned completely white. The death of her son was a huge blow to her. After the Marquis' funeral and the guests were sent away, she couldn't hold on any longer and fainted!
Even when she woke up later, she was listless, as if all her energy and spirit had been buried with her son! Moreover, she could not rest properly to recuperate, but had to force herself to deal with the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion and take care of Xia Xiaoxiao, a pregnant woman who had a miscarriage. After all, Xia Xiaoxiao was pregnant with her own grandson.
Xia Xiaoxiao had no intention of pitying or intervening to help. She knew clearly how the original owner had been bullied by her mother-in-law for years in her previous life. Later, when the heroine appeared, the mother-in-law joined forces with the heroine to suppress the original owner and forced her to abdicate.
Even after the original owner died, the mother-in-law immediately made the heroine the legitimate wife, with the reason being to make her grandchildren legitimate sons and daughters. Didn't she know what her son and the heroine had done? Of course she knew, but she was just happy to see it happen.
Xia Xiaoxiao thought that if she hadn't been pregnant this time, she would have been the old lady Leng's outlet for the pain of losing her son! In her previous life, she didn't lose her son, but she suffered a lot of grievances during those years of disappearance!
Of the three masters in the Marquis' Mansion, two were bedridden, and the other girl, who was in her teens, was still learning embroidery from an embroiderer in her boudoir!
As for the New Year gifts for relatives, friends and the Imperial Censorate, they were all sent by people. The New Year was spent in a cold and lonely manner. As for the second day of the New Year, the girls returned to their parents' home, and the New Year visits to relatives were all cancelled because of the mourning period.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Chinese New Year was over, and Xia Xiaoxiao's belly was almost six months old. Now her belly was surprisingly big, just like that of an ordinary pregnant woman who was about to give birth!
To outsiders, Xia Xiaoxiao had always been sick and bedridden, and one could smell the strong smell of medicine near the yard! But in fact, she had a rosy complexion, ate and drank well. She would walk around the yard from time to time, but she had never stepped out of her yard gate.
Every two days, Xia Xiaoxiao controlled her own pulse, so she never had any problems! But after checking her pulse, the doctor had to report to the old lady about Xia Xiaoxiao's physical condition and the health of the child.
Everything is peaceful in the mansion, and the years are quiet. Leng Mufeng, who has lost his memory, was successfully rescued by the heroine Wen Qingyue, and is now recovering at the heroine's home. Because of Xia Xiaoxiao's manipulation, he was in a coma for several days before waking up.
The heroine was originally a food anchor. She had been in this world for three years. After a year of confusion, she finally accepted the fact that she had traveled through time. In the next two years, she made some snacks and sold them in the town. Because the food tasted good and looked good, her business was getting better and better.
She made money, which made her family status higher and higher. After that, she went to restaurants to sell food recipes a few times, and with the money from selling snacks, her family became the richest family in the whole village. Last year, they built a new house and bought ten acres of land. Her three brothers also married their favorite wives one after another because of her.
So she has more and more say in this family, and her parents, brother and sister-in-law all listen to her! Since everyone knows that she has the means to make money, there is an endless stream of people proposing marriage to their family!
The people who came to propose marriage included the son of the village chief, the illegitimate son of the county magistrate, the son of a wealthy businessman...but she rejected them all! She always felt that she should not stay in the countryside, she should have a broader world!
As her family's lives became better and better because of her, she increasingly felt that since God had brought her into this world, she must achieve something.
When she accidentally saw the unconscious Leng Mufeng that day, he was handsome and well-dressed, and the accessories he wore were all very expensive. She immediately thought of the plots in the TV dramas and novels she watched in her previous life.
Could she be the chosen heroine? Could this man be a prince in trouble? Could she be the commoner princess with great insight and omnipotence? The commoner queen who will make great achievements in the future? And then give birth to a genius prince and build an empire?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was true. It was definitely true! It took her only a few minutes from her initial suspicion to her final confirmation! Otherwise, how could she have traveled through time when no one else did? Otherwise, how could this person have passed through time when he was unconscious here and no one else saw him but she did?
Even if she was wrong, judging from his appearance, clothing, image and temperament, he was definitely from a good family. Even if he was a son of a noble family, a prince, or a general, that would not be bad. At least he was a hundred times better than those families that proposed marriage to her family, wasn't he?
As for whether this man was married or engaged, she had never thought about this. Since God had sent him to her, he must be single! Even if he had an engaged partner, this man would surely clear the way for her.
The thought of this made her excited, as if she saw countless gold and silver treasures, and silks and satins waving at her, leading her to a life where she could wear gold and silver, call servants at her command, and have everyone obey her orders.
This was a great opportunity for her and her family to change their status and bring honor to the family! Thinking of this, she became restless and immediately went home to ask her elder and second brothers to come over and carefully carry the man back!
After returning to the Wen family, the whole family gathered around the unconscious nobleman, imagining a bright future. Only Father Wen was a little worried. After all, the nobles had strict rules, and their lives were worthless in the eyes of those nobles. If they were not careful, they might even be annihilated!
He also thought that since this person was either rich or noble, and was unconscious here, who knew if he had any enemies?
It would be better to have a few brothers go around and check to see if anyone is looking for someone. If someone is looking for someone, hand that person over.
They might even receive a considerable reward and gratitude for saving their lives, and a small amount of money given by these people would be enough to make them rich for the rest of their lives.
If they were blessed with this life-saving grace, I believe no one in the nearby towns and villages would dare to suppress and bully them. Besides, he was already very satisfied with his current life and didn't want to take any more risks.
But his children disagreed with his idea. They thought it was a great opportunity to make a fortune. My little sister is so smart. Has she ever made a mistake in her decision? Maybe their good fortune is still to come.
Anyway, they all decided that no matter what, they should first heal this person's injuries and secretly find out who this person is and make a decision later.
In this way, Leng Mufeng stayed at the heroine's house and invited a doctor for him! The doctor said that the man had a head injury, and the head injury was complicated, so he couldn't make a conclusion rashly.
