Chapter 563 The truth about the pregnant woman's difficult labor

It has been more than ten years since he left. Now the child is a teenager and is being raised by his stepmother. Suddenly, he heard his life story revealed by the maid!

Now that both children were clamoring for their mother, he came to find her.

He just couldn't help himself...

The villagers sighed when they heard this, and when they looked at Madam Ge, their eyes became complicated.

Some looked down on her for having been someone else's mistress, but there were also envious looks at her.

Some people also envied Madam Ge for the luxurious life she was about to enjoy and the numerous servants she would have.

After hearing the story, some villagers could not help but persuade Madam Ge: "Madam Ge, why don't you go back with the Tongzhi Master and become his second wife?"

"That's right. We already have two children, a boy and a girl. The mistress has raised them until they are teenagers. You don't have to worry about anything when you go there."

Xiao Luoyi did not question the truth, but only asked Si Kongcai: "What do you want?"

Sikongcai looked at Madam Ge. Madam Ge's face was aggrieved and there was still a blush caused by anger on her face, which made her look quite charming.

Sikongcai's heart was hesitant, and he said decisively: "I want to marry Ge as my second wife. I want to find a mother for the children."

Xiao Luoyi nodded: "Do you think this will work? I will dismiss Madam Ge from now on, and you can take her to Jizhou Prefecture to be your second wife, is that okay?"

Si Kongcai was stunned for a moment: "If she...if she comes back with me, can she come and kowtow to the princess every New Year and other festivals?"

Xiao Luoyi smiled calmly: "No need."

"As long as she becomes your equal wife today, she won't have to visit me again in the future."

"And you and your wife must not tell anyone that you know me, and I will not admit it."

"Are you satisfied with my treatment?"

Sikong Cai was of course not satisfied.

His original intention of coming here was to ask Madam Ge to say something good to him in front of the princess so that he could take a step forward and become the prefect of Jizhou, but he didn't really come here for Madam Ge.

If the main goal is not achieved and Madam Ge is taken back as a co-wife, both Yue's family and Madam will be in chaos.

Sikongcai lowered his head and thought quickly about countermeasures, but pretended to be considerate.

"Ge has deep feelings for the princess and said that the princess took great care of her. She just rejected me because she was reluctant to leave the princess..."

Some villagers disagreed: "If she can be the wife of a Tongzhi, why would she want to be a servant? Is she stupid?!"

"That's right! Madam Ge, you should just go back with Lord Sikong! Isn't it better to be an official's wife, eating and drinking delicious food and being served by servants, than to be around the stove all day long?"

"I think Lord Sikong is sincere to you..."

Madam Ge was so angry that she was shaking all over. She was surprised that everyone actually believed Sikong Cai's words.

But the princess didn't tell her to speak, so she didn't dare.

Madam Ge looked at Xiao Luoyi with anxious and aggrieved eyes, waiting for her to speak.

Finally, Xiao Luoyi spoke: "Madam Ge, do you agree with what Si Kongcai said?"

Mrs. Ge finally got the chance to speak and immediately retorted: "He's talking nonsense!"

From Madam Ge's mouth, another version of the story slowly unfolded.

At that time, Madam Ge was very hardworking. She started out as a kitchen helper. Later, the old cook noticed her diligence and eagerness to learn, and she taught her how to cut vegetables, prepare dishes, season dishes, and arrange dishes...

She became the cook in the prefect's house and cooked delicious meals.

But by chance, she ran into Sikong Cai who came to the prefect's house for dinner and drank too much.

Sikongcai bumped into her and was drunk at the time, so he took advantage of his strong body and raped her.

She wanted to ask the prefect's wife to make the decision, but she scolded her and said that she must have seduced him, otherwise why did the co-prefect only rape her instead of others? !
She knocked out her front teeth and swallowed the blood, thinking that she would never be able to face anyone again, so she prepared to commit suicide.

Who would have thought that after Sikong came to his senses, he actually asked the prefect's wife for her, saying that he was willing to take responsibility and keep her outside as a mistress who could not be seen in public.

At first she thought Sikong Cai really had feelings for her, but when she accidentally heard the old woman Sikong Cai sent to look after her say this, she was struck by lightning!
It turned out that his original wife was infertile, so after seeking consent from his wife and his in-laws, he deliberately kept no less than three mistresses outside.

The purpose was to have the concubine give birth to a son, so that they could kill the mother and keep the son, and raise the concubine's son as their own. In addition to her, there were two other concubines who were raised next door.

This alley is very remote, and the seven or eight houses in the alley all belong to Sikong Caiyue's family.

She couldn't believe what she heard, so she climbed up a ladder and secretly looked into the next yard when the old woman wasn't paying attention.

I actually saw the pregnant woman and Sikong Cai who was accompanying her.

Sikongcai whispered those familiar words of comfort to the woman again with almost no changes.

She wanted to run away, but her family was poor and her parents were gone, so where could she go?

Not long after, the woman next door gave birth to a daughter.

Before I was out of confinement, the yard was empty.

She even heard the steward asking Sikong Cai: "Master, is there anyone coming to the back yard?"

Sikong Cai said at that time: "Wait and see what the other two give birth to. If they are girls again, this yard will naturally be used."

Who would have thought that Madam Ge actually gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl!

Seeing the two healthy children, Sikong Cai also became interested.

He coaxed Madam Ge to take the child away, saying that it would be good for the child to be raised by his stepmother. He also secretly asked someone to take care of Madam Ge's health.

She eavesdropped on what the old woman said and found out that Sikong Cai thought she was fertile and wanted her to give birth to a few more children before selling her.

The pain of separation from one's loved ones is enough to be endured once; who would be willing to go through it again and again?

Madam Ge seemed to listen to the advice, but she secretly ran away when she saw an opportunity.

For fear that Si Kongcai would find her, she did not dare to return to her hometown and had to settle down in Leigong Village.

First of all, it’s been so many years...

As she spoke, Madam Ge herself burst into tears.

Sikongcai listened to what Madam Ge said without arguing, looking very honest and heartbroken.

After she finished speaking, Xiao Luoyi asked, "Sikong Cai, do you agree with what Madam Ge said?"

"Princess, I don't recognize you!"

"That woman was bribed by the mistress next door and she wanted to scare Xue'e away on purpose."

"Poor Xue'e didn't know anything and was scared away just like that..."

Xiao Luoyi didn't argue with him about right or wrong, but just asked: "Where is the old woman?"

Sikong Cai: "Dead."

"What about the outer room next door?"

"She...died in childbirth."

"How many children do you have now?"

Sikong Cai: “…Five.”

"Are they all born out of wedlock?"

Sikong Cai: “…Yes.”

"Five children, how many of them were born out of wedlock?"

"Three..."

"Among your concubines, are there any still alive, except Madam Ge?"

Sikong Cai: "...all dead. Died of difficult childbirth."

When the villagers heard this, they also felt that something was wrong: there were cases of death from childbirth, but if two of them died, then there was a problem!

Xiao Luoyi counted with her fingers and her face suddenly turned cold: "Those two didn't die of dystocia..."
