the seventh bride

Chapter 94 Cold War
"I'll say it again, I won't kill the child, unless you kill me and let us die!"

"You..." Nangong Chen angrily stretched out his hand to grab her neck: "Miss Bai, are you threatening me? Do you think I dare not kill you? So many women are dead, and you are the only one left." Is it?"

"You..." Bai Muqing's small face turned pale instantly, what was he talking about?He's going to dispose of her like the first six?Yes, how could you dare not?Has he done less of this kind of thing?
She swallowed her saliva in fear, retreated little by little, and said with a tongue-tied voice, "You're crazy..."

"I am indeed crazy, I was driven crazy by you!" The more she retreated, the more Nan Gongchen approached her, forcing her directly to the window sill.

Half of Bai Muqing's body had already leaned out of the window, and the scene in her dream instantly came to mind: Under Nangong Chen's cold gaze, she fell from the window sill...

"Don't!" She screamed in horror: "Nangong Chen, you have no right to treat me like this! Go away!"

"Isn't this your own choice?"

"I……."

Just when Bai Muqing felt her body was about to fall from the window sill, the old lady's anxious exclamation suddenly sounded from the door: "Nangongchen! What are you doing?"

Shen Xin, who accompanied the old lady, hurriedly put down the thermos in her hand, and stepped forward to save Bai Muqing from Nangong Chen's grasp.

Bai Muqing's legs gave way, and she almost fell to the ground.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?" Shen Xin helped Bai Muqing to sit on the bed, and looked at her pale face and panting.

Bai Muqing swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and nodded.

Nan Gongchen was worried about irritating the old lady, so he didn't dare to do anything to Bai Muqing, but stood by the window with a gloomy expression.

The terrified old lady gasped, glared at Nangong Chen and said angrily, "If I don't come over in time, are you really planning to push the two of them down?"

She thought that Nangong Chen had calmed down after two days of thinking about it, and would not be impulsive anymore, but she didn't expect that she would remain stubborn.Fortunately, she felt uneasy and rushed over, otherwise...

Nangong Chen didn't say a word, because he knew that what he said was useless.

"Cousin, you've gone too far this time!" Shen Xin couldn't help but annoyed, "You pushed your sister-in-law down and fell to her death, and the law can't forgive you. Isn't this hurting others and yourself?"

Regarding this point, Nangong Chen was so angry just now that he never thought of it.

He didn't expect Bai Muqing to be so persistent, even to divorce him for a child, how could he bear her like this?

After everyone calmed down, the old lady took a deep breath, stared at Nangong Chen and said, "Chen, do you really want to do this?"

"I've always had that attitude, not today."

The old lady nodded: "In this case, let's take a step back. Since you are worried about the child's bad health, the child is already four months old. In half a month, let's go for a detailed examination. If there is really any problem with the child, Let's abort the baby again. If the doctor says the baby is healthy, then we'll give birth to him, right?"

Nan Gongchen disagreed, but now it seems that it is okay to disagree, after all, the doctor said that the old lady's body should not be too stimulated.

Shen Xin looked at the old lady, then at Nangong Chen, and agreed with a smile: "This method is good, cousin, just do as grandma said."

After speaking, she turned to Bai Muqing and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, what do you think?"

Bai Muqing also raised her eyes to look at Nangong Chen, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't object, she nodded and said, "Okay."

She can feel that the child is healthy, and she also believes that the child will be fine, as long as Nangong Chen is willing to keep his promise, she will be relieved.

*****
After returning from the hospital for three days, Bai Muqing hid herself in the bedroom and did not come out. Even the meals were brought in by Sister He.

If it wasn't for being pregnant, she probably wouldn't even want to eat.

On this day, Xu Yarong came to visit her pretendingly, and brought her a lot of supplements.

After Xu Yarong closed the door, she glanced around and finally found her figure on the balcony.Ru Shi stepped over and said to her back: "I heard that you haven't left the room for three days?"

Her first concern is not her child, nor her, but her relationship with Nangong's family.

Bai Muqing just moved her body, looked up at her and lowered her eyes, not even bothering to say hello.

Xu Yarong didn't expect her to be respectful and courteous to her, and she didn't care too much. She stared at her and said in a reproachful tone: "Have you figured out your identity and remembered your responsibilities? Don't you look at your identity?" , are you qualified to be angry with Nangong Chen here?"

When Sister He heard that Bai Muqing hadn't been out of the room for three days to get angry with Nangong Chen, she turned pale with anger, wishing she could strangle her to death.

Bai Muqing still sat on the rattan chair without saying a word, listening to Xu Yarong's annoyed reprimand: "Even if Nangong Chen doesn't want this child, that's his business. As a father, doesn't he have the right to decide whether to want this child? Why don't you Can you fight him to the end? You..."

"Have you said enough?" Bai Muqing interrupted her impatiently, finally raised her eyes to her, stared at her lightly and said, "If you came here to scold me, then you can leave, because I don't want to hear .”

"You don't want to hear it?" Xu Yarong was made even more angry by her push, and she tried her best to suppress her voice and growled: "Why didn't you beat the child when I asked you to kill it? If you killed the child then, there will be so many things now Is it? Are you self-indulgent? "

"I do it myself, I am willing!"

"you……!"

Bai Muqing smiled bitterly. She had only one thought from the beginning to the end, to keep the child, so if she had to choose again, she would still escape in the operating room.

"Have you thought about your sister?" Xu Yarong gritted her teeth, and angrily reprimanded: "Your relationship with Nangong Chen is deadlocked, how will you let your sister get along with him then? Do you want her to be alone?" Did you start a cold war with Nangong Chen when you came in?"

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Bai Muqing from top to bottom: "You didn't do it on purpose, did you? I warn you, if something happens to your sister, you won't be able to get rid of it, and the Nangong family won't let go." Pass you. Because then I will put all the responsibility on you and tell them that you designed your sister on the wedding day in order to get the position of Mrs. Nangong, and took away her chance to get married. So you better think about it , what good will it do you."

Bai Muqing turned her face and stared at her bitterly.

In fact, it's not surprising that her stepmother would do such a thing, does she?What else is there to be surprised about?
"What? Do you think I can't do it?"

"Don't worry, I believe you can do it."

"Just believe it." Xu Yarong said: "So you hear me clearly, you are the one who married into Nangong's family, you'd better figure out your identity. No matter what Nangong Chen does, you can't be angry with him, not only can't be angry with him , but also put down your body to please him and get close to him. Men like sensible and considerate women, especially men like Nangong Chen who never lack individual women!"

There is never a shortage of individual women, yes, he really does not lack at all.

The coquettish Ms. Fang, the snake-like Ms. He, the calm and composed Assistant Yan, and the innocent and kind Ms. Zhu who charmed away all his souls.

"But what if he is the enemy who killed my relatives?" She almost whispered.

Xu Yarong didn't hear what she was saying clearly, so she frowned impatiently and asked, "What did you say?"

Bai Muqing came back to her senses, glanced at her and shook her head: "It's nothing."

What's the use of telling her about this?Will she change her mind just because Nangong Chen is her enemy?Will it take her feelings into account?Not at all, she only has her own goals in mind!

If she was asked to please Nangong Chen, she couldn't do it.

These days, she even once felt fortunate that she was not Nangong Chen's real wife, and that she would one day be able to leave Nangongchen, the murderer.

But as soon as she thought about being separated from her child, she felt reluctant. Two thoughts entangled her and tortured her.

"Did you hear what I said?" Xu Yarong asked impatiently.

"I'll try my best." Bai Muqing said to her expressionlessly.

Right now, she just wanted to get her away quickly, so she answered casually.

"What I want is not to try my best, but to have to!"

"Madam Bai, you'd better not force me." Bai Muqing looked at her.

Xu Yarong was so angry that she was about to go up and slap her, but this was the territory of the Nangong family, and she was afraid of making Bai Muqing feel anxious.I had no choice but to suppress the fire pressure, gritted my teeth and said, "You'd better not force me, otherwise I can't guarantee what the consequences will be."

"After threatening so much, should I go back with peace of mind?" Bai Muqing sneered mockingly.

Xu Yarong felt that if she stayed any longer, she would be making fun of herself, so after reminding her a few words at the end, she turned and left her bedroom.

*****
After Xu Yarong left, the old lady came up to enlighten Bai Muqing, telling her not to stay in the bedroom without going out even for the sake of the child.

Although Bai Muqing didn't want to come out, she couldn't ignore what the old lady said, so she left the bedroom and went for a walk in the garden.

The Nangong family's house is so big that they can't finish walking for half a day. Bai Muqing walked around from the main house to the backyard, and walked slowly among the flowers.

Further on is the ancestral hall of the Nangong family. She has never been close to it since that time, and she has never encountered any unclean things, but she still feels scared when she thinks about it occasionally.

Looking at this from a distance, she felt a creepy feeling in her heart.

As soon as her footsteps stopped, she didn't dare to get any closer, and she had the urge to turn around and flee.

When she turned around, she felt something shaking under her feet, and when she looked down, she found a wire lying across the flowers under her feet.

She glanced around suspiciously. This wire was connected to the lighting next to it. It was just for the appearance of the house. Nangong's house used underground buried wires inside and out. How could there be an extra wire in the garden suddenly?

She didn't know if this wire was connected to electricity, or how it came out, but the Nangong mansion was full of mysteries, so it was not surprising that there was an extra wire suddenly.

Without stopping any further, she walked towards the main house.

When going around the swimming pool, she happened to meet Sister He who was walking from the main house. She hesitated for a while, and finally told Sister He about the wires.

After all, it's quite hidden in that place, and she doesn't know if it's powered on or not. For safety's sake, she should ask Sister He to pay attention.

Sister He looked at the direction she was pointing at, and said, "Today, someone came to repair the lights in the garden. Maybe they forgot to bury the wires. I'll let the electrician go and have a look."

Bai Muqing nodded, it turned out that someone came to repair the lighting in the garden, no wonder there was an extra wire for no reason.There is nothing weird at all, everything is her psychological effect.

When she returned to the door of the main house, she found that Nan Gongchen's car had stopped in front of the door at some point, but she didn't stop there, and didn't want to know why he came back so early, and walked directly into the house.

Going up to the second floor, Nan Gongchen just came out of the study, holding a data bag in his hand, apparently coming back to get the materials.

The two met in the not-so-spacious corridor, with the same indifference and alienation on their faces, and Bai Muqing didn't even look at him.

When the two passed by, Nan Gongchen suddenly stopped, turned around and said two words to her back: "Stop."

Bai Muqing turned a deaf ear to his orders, pushed open the bedroom door and stepped in.

She thought Nangong Chen would turn around and leave, but unexpectedly he followed in, still looking at her back and said indifferently: "What do you mean? Are you showing me face?"

"I'm sorry, let's count." Bai Muqing turned around, looked at him with a sneer and said, "Don't we see each other and hate each other now? I wish I could kill you, and you wish I could be strangled to death. Now that we've already taken this step, Don't you think it's hypocritical and disgusting if I pretend to be affectionate to you again?"

Both look at each other and hate each other!
Nangong Chen didn't like her description very much, and his handsome eyebrows frowned slightly: "In this case, why did you give birth to my child?"

"Don't you want him? So, this child is mine now."

Nan Gongchen didn't like her way of speaking, and didn't have time to argue with her here, so he sneered slightly, then turned and left her bedroom.

Nangong Chen walked out of the bedroom, just in time to meet Pu Lianyao who was coming back from get off work, stopped her pace, but walked downstairs without saying a word.

"Cousin..." Pu Lianbiao turned around and stared at his leaving back and asked, "Cousin, aren't you at home for dinner?"

"Don't eat." Nangong Chen threw down a sentence from a distance.

After watching Nangong Chen's back disappear into the corner of the corridor, Pu Lianyao raised her hand and knocked on Bai Muqing's door, and then walked in.

"Cousin, are you and the baby okay?" She walked up to Bai Muqing and sat down beside Bai Muqing with a smile, scanning her from top to bottom: "What? Did you quarrel with cousin again?"

Bai Muqing smiled embarrassingly: "You saw it."

"What do you mean, we are so familiar." Pu Lianyao sighed after finishing speaking, "How can you be so stupid? My cousin is a man and the owner of this family. No matter what we do, as people with a different surname, we must Shinobu. What else can I do? You can’t keep fighting like this forever, right?”

Bai Muqing smiled, but remained silent.

"Being angry is not good for the baby, keep a good mood."

"I will, thanks."

Pu Lianyao lifted up the paper box at her feet and handed it to her: "This is for you, it's very good for the baby."

"What is it?" Bai Muqing took the paper box and looked at the medicine bottle inside: "The doctor said that the baby is doing well now, too much supplementation would be bad."

"This is a calcium tablet." Pu Lianyao said with a smile, "I'm a doctor, and I've done a lot of research on medicines. You still don't trust me?"

"No more." Bai Muqing accepted the paper box and said gratefully, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Pu Lianyao stroked her lower abdomen with his palm: "When the baby is born, I will be his aunt, and I should care about him."

After she finished speaking, she stood up from her side: "Okay, I'll go see grandma, let's talk after we eat."

At the dining table, the old lady glanced at everyone and asked casually: "Didn't Chen come back? Why didn't you eat at home?"

"Grandma, I asked him when I met him just now, and he said he doesn't eat at home." Pu Lianyao said.

"Not eating at home." The old lady turned to Shen Ke unhappily: "Does the company have so many things?"

"No, I haven't been very busy these days." Shen Ke shook his head.

"Then why did he run away as soon as he came back?"

"This... grandma should ask my cousin." Shen Ke glanced at Bai Muqing with a smile.

If the old lady turned her gaze to Bai Muqing, Bai Muqing hurriedly said: "I don't know, he didn't tell me."

Pu Lianyao picked up a piece of chicken leg from the plate and put it in Bai Muqing's bowl, and said solemnly: "Sister-in-law, you can't spoil your cousin like this, men's bad habits are all caused by habit."

As soon as Shen Ke heard what she said, he immediately put on an unhappy look: "Hey, what you said is not pleasant."

"Am I wrong?" Pu Lianyao turned to Shen Ke: "Why do I run to Nangong's house all day long? Isn't it just to keep an eye on you? If I didn't watch so closely, you probably would have raised a young lover outside Bar?"

"Where do I have it?"

"I'm not afraid of you." Pu Lianyao went on to say, "Besides, for a man as good as my cousin, since he held a meeting with the public, there have been many women clinging to him. You might be snatched away one day, Shen Xin, right?"

Pu Lianyao bumped Shen Xin's arm with her elbow, Shen Xin smiled and said nothing.

"So, cousin, you don't want to indulge your cousin, you know? Otherwise, you will suffer in the future." She turned to Bai Muqing again.

Bai Muqing just glanced at her and didn't speak.

She knew that Nangong Chen was very attractive to women now, and there were quite a few women, so she might spend tonight in a gentle village.But she doesn't care, not at all!
Seeing that she had smashed the chicken in the bowl with chopsticks, the old lady coughed lightly and reminded: "Okay, everyone, stop discussing this matter, and eat quickly."

After a pause, he added: "Chen is in no mood to hang out with women now, he must have something to go out."

"Only you talk too much." Shen Ke turned his head and gave Pu Lianyao a sideways glance.

Pu Lianyao had an innocent face: "This is for my cousin, okay?"

"Thank you, let's eat quickly." Bai Muqing calmed down, picked a piece of meat for her, and lowered her head to eat the food in the bowl.

*****
At night, when Bai Muqing was sleeping in a daze, she was suddenly awakened by a sound from the bedroom.

She was startled and sat up suddenly from the bed. In the dimness, she saw Nangong Chen stumbling in from the door, accompanied by the strong smell of wine.

And the sound just now was the sound of him accidentally knocking down the vase by the door, the vase must have been drunk.

Nangong Chen stood half-squatting on the spot, lowering his head without saying a word.

Originally, Bai Muqing didn't want to talk to him, but she was worried about his health and whether he was falling ill, so she could only reach out and press the light button.

She turned on the bedside lamp, and the bedroom was illuminated by a dim light.And she just sat on the bed and looked at him, seeing that he didn't look like he was sick, so she felt relieved a little.

It's just that the heart that had just let go was quickly pulled again. She saw that his palm was bleeding, obviously cut by the fragments of the vase.And he still lowered his head, looking at his injured hand but remained indifferent.

If it was the past, Bai Muqing would have rushed up to lift him up from the ground and treated his wound.But this time, after the nervousness, he turned indifferent, lifted the quilt to get out of bed, turned his palm, grabbed the phone on the table and dialed the number of the family doctor.

The family doctor rushed over quickly, saw Nangong Chen kneeling in front of a pile of vase fragments with bleeding palms, and hurriedly bent down to help him: "Master, what's wrong with you? Why are you so careless."

Nangong Chen finally moved, and stood up from the ground with difficulty under the support of the doctor.

"Eldest young master, didn't I remind you not to drink alcohol? Why..." The doctor sighed, and couldn't continue to reprimand him, so he changed the subject and said, "Your hand is bleeding, let me clean your wound first. "

Sitting on the bed and watching with cold eyes, Bai Muqing said flatly: "Doctor Huang, please send the young master back to his own room."

"Okay." Doctor Huang held Nan Gongchen's arm tightly: "Master, please slow down, I will take you back to your room."

However, Nangong Chen did not leave Bai Muqing's bedroom with the doctor, but pushed his hands off his arms, saying: "Doctor Huang, go back to sleep, I will take care of it myself."

"But young master, you are injured..."

"Get out!" Nangong Chen roared at him.

Doctor Huang was taken aback by him, and withdrew his hands. He knew Nan Gongchen's personality well, so he didn't dare to disobey him even if he was sad.He turned his eyes to Bai Muqing for help, and said cautiously: "Then... I'll go back first, and I will leave the Eldest Young Master to you, Young Madam."

Bai Muqing didn't say anything, Dr. Huang turned around and left in a stalemate.
