Chapter 609: Chapter 609: The Contradiction is Stirred Up Chapter 609: Chapter 609: The Contradiction is Stirred Up “Well… Mother, please hurry up and handle it. I have to go,” she finally agreed, clenching her teeth.

“You…”

Liu Rumei watched her daughter hurry out the door, shaking her head and sighing.

She didn’t know if supporting her daughter’s relationship with Zhou Liang was right or wrong. Why had things turned out this way? Zhou Liang was not like this in the past. How could he behave like this now?

But now is not the time to think about Zhou Liang’s character. The most important thing is to free herself from this miserable life as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, she made up her mind. First, she would prepare some food for Liu Baixiao, then hurriedly go to the county’s dental sector to see if she could find a suitable maid. In this way, her daughter would have a better chance of keeping Zhou Liang’s heart.

…

Once again, Liu Yushui staggered out of the small bamboo forest clutching her stomach, her face turning paler each time. Zhou Liang had already left her alone. Dragging her heavy feet, she took one step at a time back home.

“Oh, isn’t this Miss Liu who often visits the Lin Family? What’s wrong with you?”

Suddenly, a voice came from behind her. The shock made Liu Yushui shudder and her stomach ached even more.

“Ah!”

The pain made her scream, and her body was about to lean forward.

“Oh my, what’s going on?”

Fortunately, the young girl who spoke behind her caught her in time and prevented her from falling.

“Miss Liu, you…ah, your stomach…are you…pregnant?”

The maid initially wanted to ask what happened to Liu Yushui, but when she saw her belly, she was scared and immediately let go, retreating a step.

“You…you…”

She couldn’t recall Liu Yushui being married, and once even caught Liu Yushui on a date in the forest with Lin Caisang’s betrothed man. How come that in just a few months since she last visited her grandmother, Liu Yushui’s belly had grown so big?

What was going on?

“It’s you, Yuju,” Liu Yushui looked at the girl and managed to squeeze out a smile on her pale face.

Ya Yuju was the granddaughter of Clan Chief Ya, and quite spoiled at home. She was known in Ya Village for having a bad temper. Today, it was a rare occasion to see Ya Yuju behaving so gently.

“Miss Liu, whose is it, the child in your belly?” Ya Yuju’s speech was always straightforward; she asked Liu Yushui directly.

Liu Yushui’s face darkened slightly, but she answered the question.

“It’s Zhou Liang’s.”

“Zhou Liang’s?”

Ya Yuju’s voice skyrocketed.

“But isn’t Zhou Liang engaged to Lin Caisang? How did he end up with you…”

“Their engagement has been called off a long time ago, you probably didn’t know,” Liu Yushui looked at her calmly and explained.

Suddenly, an idea struck her. She knew that Ya Yuju was picky about her suitors. The only man in Ya Village she had her eyes on was Ya Molian, whom Clan Chief Ya couldn’t bear to marry off.

So, Clan Chief Ya and Yuju both considered Molian a part of their family.

Yet hardly anyone in the village knew about the ambiguous relationship between Ya Molian and Lin Caisang. If she let Ya Yuju in on the secret, and with Yuju’s temper, there would surely be a fuss at the Lin Family.

And Clan Chief Ya was known to indulge his family. If she could incite conflict between Clan Chief Ya and the Lin Family, it couldn’t be better.
