Chapter 207: Three Babies

She had indeed given birth before. That dream was not fake, and that flustered feeling was even less so.

Yu Wan clenched her fists. “Then… then what about the children?”

Madam Jiang shook her head. “I don’t know. You… you didn’t say.”

She really didn’t say anything. Even the fact that she was pregnant and had given birth was discovered by Madam Jiang herself. Ah Wan seemed to have had a nightmare and didn’t remember anything about the year she disappeared.

Ah Wan asked Madam Jiang fearfully, “Mom, what happened to me? Why am I like this?” Her tears flowed down in big drops.

Madam Jiang could only say, “You’re fine. You went to your aunt’s house. Have you forgotten, child?”

“Then, then the silver…”

“It’s the money your aunt gave you.”

“Yes, it’s the money my aunt gave me. I… I remember.”

“Right?” Madam Jiang gently stroked her head. She said in a low voice, “I’ve also wondered where the child went, but I’m not even sure if he was born alive.”

“I gave birth,” she murmured. But what happened after she gave birth? She couldn’t remember.

Yu Wan felt her heart tighten. She did not know when it started, but the number of times she thought about her previous life had decreased. The people and things in her previous life had gradually become unclear in her mind. She could no longer lie to herself that that was the Host’s business.

That was her business. It was her children.

Yu Wan walked to the bed, pulled open the blanket, and lay down.

Madam Jiang tucked her in.

She turned around, faced inward, and curled herself into a ball.

Madam Jiang stroked her temples and gently left the room.

“Mom.”

Madam Jiang paused.

Yu Wan did not say anything. But Madam Jiang knew what she didn’t say.

Mom, I’m so sad.

… .

Sanniu’s wife gave birth. She gave birth to a fat little boy in the morning. This was Aunt Zhang’s second grandson and she was overjoyed. She cooked red eggs early in the morning and sent them from house to house so that everyone could be happy.

When they arrived at Yu Wan’s house, Yu Wan had just woken up and was sitting at the head of the bed in a daze.

“Ah Wan!” Aunt Zhang walked in with a smile and placed the two red eggs on her table. “Thank you for yesterday! If you hadn’t invited the midwife over so quickly, my daughter-in-law would have been in danger!”

Sanniu’s wife was bleeding profusely and was frightened. The bleeding only stopped when the midwife came.

“However, there’s no such thing as improper fetal position!” Aunt Zhang said seriously.

“I was wrong,” Yu Wan said in a low voice.

The one whose fetus was in the wrong position was not Sanniu’s wife, but her three years ago. The fetal position was very easy to deal with in her previous life, but it was a very troublesome problem in ancient times. Perhaps she really didn’t give birth.

“Ah Wan, what’s wrong?” Aunt Zhang was so frightened that she panicked when she saw Yu Wan’s eyes turn red. “I didn’t mean that you’re not good. I, I, I… Why is my mouth so annoying! Ah Wan, don’t be angry with me! I’ll apologize to you!”

Yu Wan smiled as if nothing had happened. “I’m fine. Something entered my eyes. Congratulations, Aunt Zhang.”

“Aye!” Aunt Zhang was relieved. She gave her a few more red eggs until the small plate on the table was full before she continued to the house.

Yu Wan peeled a red egg and ate it carefully. The taste was a little strange, making one’s throat ache.

She knew that her mother was doing this for her own good. After all, it was very likely that the child was not born. Moreover, “she” was so infatuated with Zhao Heng and wanted to marry him. How could her mother bear to hurt her?

Besides, didn’t Zhao Heng say that she had entered a brothel? In the past, she didn’t believe Zhao Heng’s words, but now, Zhao Heng was right about one thing. Perhaps she had really entered a brothel. She didn’t know if that baby came from a wild man.

“Achoo!” A certain young master in County Yu sneezed fiercely!

“Sis!” Little Bruiser walked in after washing up. “Check my homework! I’ve finished memorizing it!”

Little Bruiser, who still wet his bed at the age of six, decided to use the power of knowledge to regain his dignity as a little man! He had woken up early in the morning to memorize books! He had memorized it all!

Unexpectedly, Yu Wan did not check on him. She took a red egg and stuffed it into his hand. “I have something on. I’ll go out first and check your homework when I come back.”

Little Bruiser: “Oh.”

“Also.” Yu Wan, who had reached the door, turned around and said, “No matter how well you memorize the books, it’s still very embarrassing to wet the bed.”

The stifled Little Bruiser: “…”

… .

Yu Wan went to the Capital and waited in the alley where she met Zhao Heng yesterday.

Zhao Heng had just finished school and was walking home with his school bag. Halfway there, he was stopped by a figure.

Zhao Heng’s first reaction was that the people who put the sack over his head were here again. He subconsciously covered his head with the bookbag.

Yu Wan opened the book bag without thinking.

Zhao Heng looked at it. “It’s you? Why are you here again?!”

The shock of seeing Yu Wan was no less than seeing that group of people. After all, that group of people only asked questions, unlike Yu Wan who even beat him up.

Yu Wan grabbed his collar and pulled him into an alley like she was pulling a chick.

“You, you, you… what are you doing! Let go!” Zhao Heng said angrily. It was really embarrassing for a man to be dragged around by a little girl!

Yu Wan threw him into a corner. His thin body hit the cold wall, and he gasped in pain.

Yu Wan said in disdain, “You weak chicken. I wasn’t blind when I like you back then, I was stupid!”

Zhao Heng choked with anger. “Don’t… don’t you dare speak ill of me!”

Yu Wan glanced at him indifferently.

Zhao Heng hugged the book bag tightly and said, “I didn’t bring any money today!”

Yu Wan was not here to look for money. It did not matter to her whether he brought the money along or not. Yu Wan looked at him and said, “Let me ask you, you said that I went to a brothel and even gave birth. Where did you hear these rumors?”

Zhao Heng remained silent.

Yu Wan said coldly, “I’m not very patient. If you don’t say it yourself, I’ll beat you up with my fists.”

Zhao Heng blushed and said, “How dare you break the laws in the Capital?”

Yu Wan raised her hand and slapped him hard!

Zhao Heng covered his head with his book bag.

Of course, Yu Wan did not slap him. She was just scaring him. Zhao Heng was indeed frightened. The blood drained from his flushed face, turning pale.

Yu Wan said, “You better tell me the truth. I have nothing to lose. Not only do I dare to hit you, but I also dare to go to your school and let your classmates and teachers see what a treacherous dog you are!”

Zhao Heng clenched his fists in humiliation.

“Hurry up and say it!” Yu Wan shouted.

Zhao Heng’s body trembled, and his clenched fingers scattered. “You… one of my classmates told me that you entered a brothel.”

“Your classmate? Which classmate? What’s his name? Where does he live? Tell me honestly what he said!”

Actually, Yu Wan was not interested in who his classmate was. If she did not try to confuse him, Zhao Heng would definitely realize her true intentions.

Zhao Heng thought that Yu Wan was angry at someone for ruining her reputation and did not suspect anything else. “My classmate’s surname is Yang. When I was studying in a private school in town, you gave me a few things. He’s seen you before.”

“And then?” Yu Wan asked.

Zhao Heng said, “He’s on good terms with me. Not only is he my classmate, but he’s also my roommate.”

“Speak human language.” Yu Wan did not want to hear such nonsense.

“I just want to say that he won’t lie to me. Three years ago, he went to Prefecture Xu with his family to visit his family. In the end, he saw you…” Zhao Heng’s throat moved with difficulty. “You were in a brothel.”

Yu Wan mocked, “You scholars also visit the brothel?”

Zhao Heng’s face turned green and red. “I’ve never visited it before.”

Yu Wan continued, “So you believed him just because he said so? He was the one who spread the rumors that I gave birth?”

Zhao Heng took a deep breath. “I said that he wouldn’t lie to me. As for your childbirth… I saw it with my own eyes.”

“You?” Yu Wan looked at him in disbelief.

Zhao Heng quickly explained, “That’s not what I meant. I mean… I’ve seen your portrait! Yesterday, before I met you, I was captured by two men…”

Zhao Heng told her everything about how he met the burly man, how he was questioned, and how he was sent back to the alley. “… You… There’s something on your face, but I recognize you. It’s you! The woman in the painting who’s pregnant… It’s you! You… Tell me honestly, did you offend someone?”

Yu Wan did not care whether she had offended someone or not. What she cared about was that Zhao Heng did not know if she had safely given birth to the children.

… .

“Why is it her?”

In an inconspicuous teahouse, Yan Ruyu saw the painting in front of her. The woman in the painting was the little village girl who had repeatedly made things difficult for her and even threatened to snatch her fiancé and sons!

“Are you mistaken?”

Yan Ruyu looked at Xu Shao in disbelief.

Xu Shao also hoped that he had made a mistake. When he saw the portrait, the shock in his heart was the same as Yan Ruyu. Yu Wan had participated in the Tianxiang Restaurant’s competition and was even locked in an icehouse. In the end, his good nephew, the incomparably noble Second Prince, personally saved her.

He was the boss after all. Such a small matter could not be hidden from him.

“Impossible… absolutely impossible!” Yan Ruyu shook her head in a daze. “She can’t be the ugly woman from three years ago… She… She’s not… She’s not!”

If it were any other woman, Yan Ruyu might have been able to accept it, but it was Yu Wan.

Yan Ruyu was jealous of Yu Wan. Yu Wan had treated her like this even when she had nothing. She really didn’t dare to imagine how Yu Wan would ride on her head if she recognized her children!

Xu Shao more or less knew a little about Yan Ruyu and Yu Wan. He said, “It seems that she didn’t snatch your things. You’ve always been the one who snatched hers.”

Snatch Yan Jiuchao? Yan Jiuchao was her man to begin with.

Snatch the little munchkins? The little munchkins were her sons.

How was this snatching? It was simply returning it to its rightful owner.

Yan Ruyu could not accept the truth in front of her. She racked her brains, trying to find all the evidence that could overturn the truth. “If it’s really her, then why doesn’t she recognize me?”

She couldn’t recognize the other party because she had changed her appearance, but Yu Wan didn’t. Yu Wan had interacted with her for a few days, so how could she not remember her appearance?

Xu Shao pondered for a moment and said, “We drugged her.”

A medicine that could destroy one’s mind could turn one into a fool. However, no one expected that girl to be so lucky. She had only lost a portion of her memories.

“I don’t care! Anyone can! But it can’t be her! I won’t allow her to take everything from me!” Her man and her children were all hers, not Yu Wan’s!

Xu Shao frowned. “I’m afraid this will be difficult.”

The scouts in Gong City had sent news that the house that Yan Ruyu had stayed in had traces of being touched. It was very likely that Yan Jiuchao had sent someone to investigate. As for whether he had found any clues, it was not something he could control.

“I only need to be really pregnant with Young Master Yan’s children…” Yan Ruyu grabbed Xu Shao’s wrist and said.

Xu Shao frowned even more tightly. “Do you think it’s easy to scheme against Yan Jiuchao?”

Three years ago, it was purely a coincidence that Yan Jiuchao was drugged. They did not have the time to drug him at all. It was Yan Jiuchao who took the wrong medicine and entered the brothel in a daze.

They had originally prepared the most beautiful woman for Yan Jiuchao in the largest brothel in Prefecture Xu. Who knew that he would sleep with an ugly woman in a brothel?

It was said that the ugly woman did not have an ugly face from the beginning. It was because she had accidentally eaten poisonous grass on the way here from the human traffickers that poisonous spots grew on her face.

Speaking of which, they were lucky that the ugly freak was a virgin. Otherwise, they really couldn’t guarantee that the flesh and blood in her stomach belonged to Yan Jiuchao.

The madam in the brothel would not let the girls get pregnant. Since there would be no descendants, there was no need to bring the woman back. Could it be that he had to be responsible for the other party after she had a miscarriage?

There were many hardships after that, but fortunately, they finally found the woman and obtained the child in her stomach.

“Actually, it was a very difficult birth,” Xu Shao said. However, she was very strong. All three babies were born safely.
