Chapter 52 Better to seize the day than wait for the right moment
Startled, Lu Guifen quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears and then hugged her and comforted her for a while.
Aunt Chen recounted the events of the Marquis's mansion in a sobbing voice, finally frowning and saying...
"If that little slut Xu Biyun gives birth to a son, I'll have no way to live!"
The more he talked, the more frustrated he felt, and then, anger flared up again, and he cursed.
"Now Second Master is tired of me. He hasn't come to my room much these past two years. I thought he was focused on his career, but now it seems, bah! He's been secretly sleeping with that Xu Biyun! That widow Xu Biyun lied to me before, pretending to be pitiful in front of me. I'm kind-hearted and easy to talk to, so I really thought they had it tough, spending money and favors on them. Damn it, I didn't expect that widow would treat me like a fool, pretending to be close to me while secretly sleeping with Second Master! Now she's almost three months pregnant. What am I going to do if she gives birth smoothly?!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Guifen's dark, bark-like face grew increasingly sullen. She frowned and sternly cursed.
"Damn it, that shameless slut, that Aunt Xu is such a despicable and vile thing! Bah! She wants to climb up the social ladder by stepping on my daughter! Dream on!"
Lu Guifen had encountered this Aunt Xu several times when she visited the Marquis's residence. At the time, she saw that Xu Biyun was dressed in a noble and respectable manner, and guessed that Xu Biyun had some status in the Marquis's residence.
Therefore, Lu Guifen treated Xu Biyun with great respect and even gave her a lot of dried goods and fruits from her home, humbly asking Xu Biyun to take good care of Chen Xiangyu.
That bitch Xu Biyun took so many good things from her family, and then she turned around and stole Chen Xiangyu's man. That's just too unethical!
I've never seen anyone so despicable and shameless!
Lu Guifen was furious. When she thought of her humble and respectful attitude towards Xu Biyun, she wished she could slap herself twice!
Her molars were grinding together, and Lu Guifen was so angry she paced back and forth in the room.
If Xu Biyun, that old widow, really gives birth to a boy, how will her daughter have any chance to turn things around? All the boasting she's done in front of her relatives will be exposed!
Lu Guifen gritted her teeth, her face contorted with rage.
"No! We absolutely cannot let this old widow lay an egg!"
Aunt Chen lifted her red and swollen eyes from under her handkerchief, and said with some expectation,
"Mother, I'm young and inexperienced in these things. I'm here to consult you because I don't know what to do."
Lu Guifen narrowed her eyes for a moment, then, having made a plan, stepped forward, grasped Chen Xiangyu's hand, and whispered...
“My dear daughter, you haven’t seen much of this kind of thing. I’ve lived my whole life and seen it all! There are plenty of ways to prevent her from giving birth. We can use some drugs, make her slip and fall, or tamper with her food. She’s still three months pregnant, and the fetus is at its most unstable. Miscarriage is perfectly normal!”
As if remembering something, Lu Guifen slapped her forehead and immediately started rummaging through the two large sacks she had brought with her.
This place is full of fruits, vegetables, homemade pancakes, and other things, but there's something special at the very bottom.
Lu Guifen picked up a small porcelain bottle.
He presented it to Chen Xiangyu, his eyes gleaming with calculation.
"Look what this is."
Lu Guifen opened the bottle and handed it to Chen Xiangyu, a wicked smile spreading across her face.
"The first-layer pine nut oil that we pressed at home is clear and pure. I originally brought it to you to use as a hair oil, but now it seems to be of great use."
"If this bitch could accidentally slip and fall and miscarry, wouldn't that solve everything?"
Aunt Chen frowned, looking somewhat timid.
"Mother, I...I didn't do this, I'm afraid..."
Lu Guifen patted her chest confidently and said,
"You don't need to lift a finger, your old lady will take care of everything! You just need to bring her here, and you don't need to worry about anything else."
Aunt Chen's brows relaxed for a moment, then furrowed again.
“Oh dear, but I have such a bad falling out with Xu Biyun. I scratched her face like a cat the other day. She must be avoiding me like the plague. How could she dare to come here again?”
The atmosphere grew somewhat cold.
Tiger Girl suddenly stumbled in and shouted,
"Aunt, Aunt Xu has arrived. She brought many things to apologize to you."
Aunt Chen trembled in fright. Was Xu Biyun coming to apologize to her?
She beat Xu Biyun so badly, and Xu Biyun came to apologize to her.
Before she could even think, Lu Guifen shouted.
"Quick, Tiger Girl, go and invite them in."
Lu Guifen turned her head and her eyes lit up. She whispered excitedly in her daughter's ear,
"Oh dear, girl, there's no time like the present. She's just unlucky to have run into this today. I'll get rid of this menace for you today, so that things don't get complicated!"
Aunt Chen's heart skipped a beat again, and her eyes showed a hint of panic.
"Mom, has she lost her mind? I hit her and she still comes to apologize to me? What am I supposed to say to her?!"
Lu Guifen, however, patted her back comfortingly.
"Just ignore whatever she says. You only need to chat with her and don't worry about anything else. I'll handle the work. Just do as I say, and I'll run away as soon as I'm done. No one in the Marquis's mansion will be able to find out. I'll get rid of her for you without anyone knowing!"
Seeing her mother's unwavering resolve, Aunt Chen felt a little more at ease.
Clear his throat and tell Tiger Girl to invite the person in.
Lu Guifen secretly hid the bottle of pine nut oil in her sleeve, her eyes full of calculation and ruthlessness.
Xu Biyun walked into the house with a smile on her face. Seeing that Lu Guifen was also there, she smiled and went up to greet her.
"Oh my, Aunt Lu is here too! It's been so long since I've seen you. How are you doing?"
Although Lu Guifen was displeased, she still forced a smile and pretended that she knew nothing.
"Oh, thanks to Aunt Xu, I'm still in good health. Isn't it a coincidence that I just stepped into the house and you arrived right afterward?"
