the seventh bride

Chapter 68
She moved her body uncomfortably: "I'm fine."

The old lady was worried, so she asked Sister He to ask the family doctor to come and have a look.

Sister He thought for a while, and said, "Old Madam, I think Young Madam is right to be worried. You can't let Eldest Young Master know about this, otherwise, with Eldest Young Master's temper, Young Madam will definitely force Young Madam to abort the child."

"He dares?!" The old lady's eyes brightened.

"The eldest young master has always been very resistant to having a child. One day he secretly threw an abortion pill into the young lady's bowl, and the child was gone. Don't you, old lady, have nothing to do with him?"

What Sister He said was indeed reasonable. The old lady believed that her precious grandson would definitely be able to do this kind of thing. After pondering for a moment, she said, "Then keep this matter a secret for now, and don't let the fourth person know about it."

"By the way, Ying'an, besides yourself, does anyone else know about your pregnancy?" She took Bai Muqing's hand and asked.

Bai Muqing thought about it, no one else knew about it except Yao Mei, she believed that Yao Mei would not tell, and she had no reason to tell.Rushi shook his head: "Not anymore."

"That's good." The old lady hid her joy: "You don't have to worry about Chen, after the baby is born, I'll see what the little bastard can do."

"That's right, you can't kill the child." Sister He also laughed and echoed.

Listening to their happy exchange of singing and harmony, Bai Muqing felt mixed feelings in her heart. Who is like her who is pregnant with a child and wants to guard against the child's father like a thief?
The old lady was so excited that she finally thought that Bai Muqing hadn't had breakfast yet, and it would be bad for her little great-grandson to starve out.She immediately took Bai Muqing's hand again and smiled, "Look at me, I'm just happy, I forgot that you haven't eaten breakfast yet. Let's go, let's have breakfast first, and after Chen goes out, we will ask the family doctor to come and see the wound." There is no tire gas."

The stick was hit so hard just now, and now I regret it just thinking about it.

Bai Muqing stood up from the sofa as promised, and followed them out of the bedroom to the dining room.

In the dining room, except for Nan Gongchen who was eating breakfast slowly, all the juniors were sitting in imminent danger, not daring to do anything.Seeing Bai Muqing coming out after the old lady, everyone's eyes fell on Bai Muqing's flushed face.

Everyone was not surprised that Bai Muqing was beaten, but they were surprised why the old lady didn't throw Bai Muqing out. In the past, the old lady would have thrown her out of Nangong's house after a violent beating.

Nangong Chen raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Muqing, but there was no sympathy in his eyes.

In his opinion, this woman who has repeatedly made mistakes is not worthy of sympathy, nor is it worth staying.

Bai Muqing felt his indifference, her heart was freezing cold.

It turned out that the slightest bit of beauty in the hospital was just a dream, and this man would eventually return to his true nature, ruthless!
She mechanically walked to her exclusive seat and sat down.

The old lady also regained her usual seriousness, looked around at everyone and said: "I'm here to reiterate today that the ancestral hall of the Nangong family enshrines the spiritual tablets of the ancestors of the past generations, which is sacred and inviolable. If anyone dares to break in in the future, I will never forgive you! Do you hear everything clearly?"

"Listen clearly." Everyone nodded, they could clearly see Bai Muqing's blushing cheeks.

Nangong Chen put down the knife and fork, and while wiping the corners of his mouth with a tissue, he sneered mockingly: "Grandma, I thought you would drive her out, and then find me a new wife."

The old lady gave him a sideways glance. Before she taught Bai Muqing a lesson, she really planned to do so.But when Bai Muqing became pregnant, of course she changed her mind.

She avoided Nangong Chen's direct gaze, cleared her throat and said, "The ring is in her hand, she is lucky, but if you do it again next time, I will never let you go just because of a ring."

She said the second half of the sentence to Bai Muqing.

Bai Muqing lowered her head: "I see."

But secretly gritted his teeth: Nangong Chen!You are ruthless!
After breakfast, Bai Muqing returned to the bedroom accompanied by Pu Lianyao.

Pu Lianyao found out the medicine box, and while caring for her red and swollen face, she complained, "You, you are so stupid. After all this time, you still don't understand what grandma is like? Grandma has always been a man of one word. People are serious and cruel."

When Bai Muqing heard her say this, tears of grievance instantly filled her eyes.

Pu Lianyao continued to blame: "I told you again and again, don't take the rumors about the Nangong family too seriously, don't violate the taboo of the Nangong family, you just want to go to the ancestral hall to find out, now you know it's wrong?" She said Holding on to Bai Muqing's right ring finger: "Fortunately, you have this ring, otherwise you would have been thrown out of Nangong's house by grandma."

Bai Muqing silently listened to Pu Lianyao's accusation, feeling bitter in her heart.

At this time, what she was thinking about was actually the scene of last night, whether it was a dream or reality, she felt that she was really hopeless!

Sister He came with the family doctor, and Pu Lianyao stood up from the sofa, apparently surprised by the doctor's arrival.After all, given Bai Muqing's current situation, she shouldn't be able to enjoy such good treatment.

Seeing the doctor come in, Bai Muqing sat on the sofa without saying a word.

Sister He glanced at Bai Muqing, and said to Pu Lianyao: "Miss Pu, just now the old lady hit the young lady with a cane. I was worried that she might suffer internal injuries, so I asked the doctor to come and take a look."

"Grandma beat you with a cane?" Pu Lianyao turned to Bai Muqing with concern on her face, "Then why didn't you tell me just now, I can help you take a look."

"No need, Lian Yao, you can go to work, just let the doctor look at it for me." Bai Muqing smiled at her.

After sending Pu Lianyao away, the family doctor did a simple examination on Bai Muqing and confirmed that she was pregnant, and the fetus was fine.

Sister He immediately told the old lady the good news. The old lady couldn't hold back her excitement and insisted on listening to her little great-grandson's heartbeat.

Hearing the rumbling sound of the baby's heartbeat through the instrument, the old lady said happily: "Listen, does it sound like a small train rolling over the rails?"

"Like, very similar." Sister He nodded aside: "It sounds like a healthy baby."

"Yes, healthy, definitely healthy!"

After Bai Muqing said this, the more she listened, the more she felt that the heartbeat sounded like a small train. This was her child, a living child!
The corners of his lips curved, and he couldn't help laughing happily along with everyone else.

After dismissing the doctor, the old lady let Bai Muqing lie on the bed to rest, while she sat in front of the bed and took her hand and said, "Ying'an, Chen doesn't want a child, because he is worried that the child will be inherited from him, and it will be a disease after birth." Uncle. So, in order to prevent your child from being bad, you must take good care of yourself on weekdays, you know?"

Bai Muqing nodded, and unconsciously twitched her little hand that was held in her palm.

"Eat more nutritious things, let's not touch those junk foods that are raw or fried. Also, you must maintain a good mood. Whether your mood is good or bad will directly affect the health of the fetus, you know?"

Bai Muqing still nodded, of course she knew that her mood was very important when she was pregnant, but living in such a family, facing such a group of indifferent and heartless people, how could she maintain a good mood?
The old lady seemed to see her thoughts, thought for a while, stared at her and asked, "Do you have many doubts about the Nangong family? If you ask, I will tell you."

Bai Muqing was surprised, the old lady was really willing to tell her everything?
"I hope you can dispel your doubts and relax." The old lady added.

Bai Muqing stared at her, almost blurted out the question about the back hall of the ancestral hall, but swallowed it back, she was beaten just now because of the ancestral hall, if she will ask about it again, no I wonder if the old lady will....

"That... that day my friend gave me a painting called "Mrs. Jing", which is a very beautiful woman in white. I hung it in the bedroom later. I didn't expect the young master to lose his temper after seeing it, and he was so excited. Tore up the painting. I've always wondered... why he was so resistant to that painting."

She asked carefully and extremely tactfully, hoping that the old lady would take the initiative to tell her the secret about "Mrs. Jing".

The old lady was not surprised after hearing this, but instead smiled and said: "I heard about that incident from Sister He, and I also felt strange at the time, so I ordered someone to find out the painting and show it to me. Later, I found out that the woman in the painting It looks a bit like Miss Zhu, I think this is probably the reason why Chen went crazy and destroyed the painting?"

The old lady didn't mention anything about the back hall of the ancestral hall, Bai Muqing's mind started to become confused again, what's going on?Was everything last night really just a nightmare?

Could it be that "Ms. Jing" has nothing to do with the lover in the previous life, but with Nangongchen's first love?
"Miss Zhu?" She murmured.

"Yes, Chen's first love, Ms. Zhu." The old lady sighed helplessly when she said this: "Don't look at Chen's cold and silent appearance, he is also a stubborn one in terms of emotions. I can't stop. Actually, I don't like that Miss Zhu, but I can't accept the woman Chen likes. Who would have thought that Miss Zhu would disappear out of thin air immediately after hearing the rumors about the Nangong family. "

Regarding this matter, Bai Muqing once heard it from Pu Lianyao, it seems to be true!

"Is it really similar?"

"The eyes are quite similar, and you can tell at a glance."

"Then... How much of the Nangong family's rumors are true?" She couldn't help asking.

"Except that it is true that Chen has been ill since he was a child, everything else is false." The old lady stared at her and said solemnly: "You are about to become the mother of Chen's child, so you should give this family a little confidence and take care of this. The family will continue to operate, understand?"

all fake?Bai Muqing looked at her suspiciously.

The old lady said again: "It is just rumors that Chen Qi is extremely ugly, that he is too sick to get out of bed, and that he has killed his wife. You see, you are living well now."

"Including what past lovers are also fake?"

"It's all fake." The old lady said.

Bai Muqing looked at the old lady, she looked so serious, she didn't seem to be lying at all, but...why did she still feel that what happened last night was more real?

*****
Ever since she found out that Bai Muqing was pregnant, the old lady still treated her harshly and alienated on the surface, but she was very kind to her in private. Not only did she order the cook to make nutritious food for her every day, but she also greeted her with care all day long.

However, Bai Muqing was not happy because of the old lady's change of attitude, because she knew that everything the old lady did was because of the fetus in her womb.

She is very clear that without this child, she is nothing in Nangong's family!

Today is the weekend, during breakfast, the old lady glanced at the strangers, hesitated for a moment and then said: "It's rare that the weather is good today, Chen, after breakfast, take Ying'an to the department store to buy some new clothes and jewelry .”

As soon as these words came out, not only everyone at the table was surprised, but even Bai Muqing was startled for a moment, and looked at the old lady together with everyone else.

Seeing everyone looking at her like a monster, the old lady evaded her eyes for a moment and then raised her eyebrows slightly: "What? Is it strange? As the young lady of the Nangong family, she wears clear noodles every day, so people think that we Nangong The family is bullying people."

In fact, she was only worried that the days when the two of them had no feelings would affect Bai Muqing's mood and would be detrimental to the baby, so she ordered them to go out together. relax.

Nangong Chen glanced sideways at Bai Muqing, just in time to meet her calm gaze.

He could tell that Bai Muqing didn't want to go either.

"Let Shen Xin go with her." He said, "Girls are more picky."

"And me, I'm the best at picking out clothes." Pu Lianyao put down her chopsticks and took Bai Muqing's arm, and said with a smile, "And I know where there is a French brand store, the clothes in it are especially suitable for my cousin."

The old lady glanced at Pu Lianyao and said, "Women wear clothes for men to see. How do you know what style your cousin likes?"

Nangong Chen raised his lips and smiled: "It's okay, I don't like any style Ying'an wears..."

Bai Muqing clenched her fingers holding the chopsticks, turned her head, and threw two words at him with a smile on her face: "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"Okay!" The old lady clapped her chopsticks pretending to be annoyed: "Is it possible to be a husband and wife like you? Yesterday, Mrs. Wang asked me why I never saw the two of you in public together, did you?" There was a quarrel. Did you understand the meaning of what they said? They were wondering if Ying'an was killed by you again, so they kept silent."

"Which Mrs. Wang is so dishonest? Let my cousin clean her up." Shen Ke said with a smile.

The old lady gave him an annoyed look.

Of course no one would dare to show such a lack of virtue in front of her. Mrs. Wang was just fabricated by her.

Under the order of the old lady, Bai Muqing got into Nangong Chen's car.The car slowly drove out of the Nangong family's mansion and headed all the way to the city.

The two people in the carriage were silent all the way, Bai Muqing leaned on the back of the chair and watched the flashing street scene outside the window, while Nangong Chen drove the car without looking sideways.

She still felt a little resentful towards Nan Gongchen in her heart. Although there was no emotional basis between the two of them, and she knew that he had someone else in his heart, she was still disappointed and angry because of his previous reaction to her entering the ancestral hall alone.

In the past few days, she has basically had no contact with him. He leaves early and returns late every day to work, while she listens to some soothing music besides painting at home, and then locks the door early to sleep.

The car stopped in front of a high-end luxury department store, Nangong Chen said two words without looking back: "Get off."

Bai Muqing unfastened her seat belt, opened the door and got out of the car.

This department store is the most expensive in city C, and it is also a place she dared not go to before, but Nangongchen actually brought her here.

Of course, she is now playing the role of Bai Ying'an. As the daughter of the Bai family, if she behaves too poorly, it will easily arouse Nangong Chen's suspicion.

After a brief pause, Rushi took the lead and walked into the department store.

After Bai Muqing went up to the women's clothing area on the second floor, she looked around and walked towards one of the specialty stores with brighter colors.

When she stepped into the store, her little hand was suddenly grasped by a warm big hand.

She panicked for a moment, then lowered her head to realize that it was Nangong Chen who was holding her hand.

"Honey, I know that there is a specialty store that is very suitable for you." Nangong Chen smiled at her with an extremely charming smile.

Bai Muqing was dazzled by his smile, thinking that this man is alright?Why are you laughing like this all of a sudden.

The next moment, she understood.

All around, whether it was the waiter or the customer of the specialty store, they all cast curious and obsessed eyes on him. It turned out that this man was acting!

Since he was going to act, she had no reason not to cooperate. With the corners of her lips curved, she leaned towards him with a smile, showing a loving couple.

Nangong Chen's so-called specialty store suitable for her is actually in a quieter corner of the third floor, because the clothes in the store are more expensive than other stores, and most of them are regular customers, so there are naturally fewer people hanging around.

Nangong Chen wanted to be quiet, but Bai Muqing didn't care, anyway, what she bought today was not clothes, but famous brands and face.

The waiter greeted him warmly, secretly looked at Nangong Chen with the excitement in his heart, and asked politely: "Good morning, both of you, is there anything I can help you with?"

It was the first time for her to see the real body of this mysterious man at such a close distance, and she had seen it in newspapers before.

"Help me choose a few sets of clothes that suit her." Nangong Chen said to the waiter, then walked to the sofa in the center of the store and sat down.

"Okay, this lady, please come with me." The service lady led Bai Muqing to the shelves, and began to choose clothes for her.

Bai Muming found that the styles of clothes in this store were pretty good, but the price was a bit out of the ordinary, more than [-] yuan for a sweater?There is no mistake!Is it made of gold?

"I think this suits your temperament quite well. If you don't believe me, you can ask Young Master Chen." The service lady said while comparing the clothes on her.

"11 yuan? No discount?" Bai Muqing asked unconsciously.

"I'm really sorry, our brand of clothes has never been discounted." The waiter was still polite and gentle.

Bai Muqing turned her head to look at Nangong Chen, and found that he was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and looking at her with a faint smile on his face.

She originally wanted to ask him if she could change to another one, but after meeting his gaze, she was worried that he would think she had lost his face, so she said to the waitress: "Then I'll try it out first."

With the help of the waitress, she changed into this expensive dress.

This is a loose Korean style, which is very suitable for her growing belly.

"Young Master Chen, do you think it looks good?" the waitress asked Nangong Chen with a smile.

Nangong Chen glanced at Bai Muqing, nodded: "It looks good, let's wrap it up."

Painfully, Bai Muqing picked out a few more Korean-style outfits, and tried them on for Nangong Chen one by one. When she tried the last one, Nangong Chen finally couldn't help but uttered a sentence: "I don't have a good figure, why are you still trying my best?" Pick out these clothes that don't show your waist?"

He didn't understand, don't women like to choose clothes that can make themselves protruding?Why does this woman choose all these doll costumes, she is already married and still pretends to be cute.

Bai Muqing gritted her teeth, lifted her lips and gave him a mocking smile: "You don't care, you don't like any style I wear anyway."

"Since I'm here with you, I have to take care of what clothes you choose, right?"

Bai Muqing pointed to the clothes on her body: "I think babydolls are very cute and comfortable, and this style of clothes is suitable for people like me who have no figure."

Nangong Chen was speechless by her choking, of course, he was not low-quality enough to quarrel with her in other shops, so he could only smile at the waitress: "Please wrap up these things just now."

"Okay." The waitress went to pack with a smile on her face, thinking that their bickering was flirting.

After coming out of the department store, Nangong Chen drove Bai Muqing to a jewelry company, and Bai Muqing deliberately ordered several customized models.

Nangong Chen lowered his eyes and glanced at the styles she had chosen, they were all simple and small styles.

"You can choose more expensive ones, the Nangong family does not lack your jewelry money." He said.

"No need, I won't wear it anyway if I buy it." Bai Muqing said to the reception lady, "That's all."

The reception lady nodded: "Okay, please come to the company to try it on in a month. If you are not satisfied, we can make it again."

"Thank you." Bai Muqing smiled.

After picking out the jewelry, it was already lunch time, and neither of them had any intention of having dinner together outside.

The car was driving on the way home, Bai Muqing idly took out her mobile phone to log in to the online game server, Chen Shao's face was black, obviously she hadn't logged in for many days.

It seems that he hasn't logged in again since he was discharged from the hospital. Also, how can a busy person like him in the business world have time to play games? It's normal not to log in.

Seeing her online, Bingfeng immediately sent a greeting.

Regarding her forced divorce, Bingbing herself seemed very calm, and she didn't mean to blame her at all.

On the contrary, Bai Muqing felt embarrassed and apologized to him.

The two chatted online for a while, and Bai Muqing's cell phone rang, and it was Zhao Feiyang who called.

Ever since he knew that Nangong Chen had forbidden Bai Muqing to go to the orphanage, Zhao Feiyang had rarely disturbed her, so he must have something important to call her suddenly today.So almost without thinking, Bai Muqing pressed the answer button.

As soon as the phone was connected, Zhao Feiyang's anxious voice came from the other end: "Mu...Ying'an, are you free now? Xiaoli is dying, and he is arguing to see you."
