My Lady Always Lacks Ambition-Chapter 1036 - 1007: You’re Carrying a Death Sentence

Chapter 1036: Chapter 1007: You’re Carrying a Death Sentence

The door was pushed open, and a woman appeared before everyone’s eyes, wearing a dark purple jacket and skirt and a Ruyi hairpin adorned with flowers and birds in her hair.

With willow-like eyebrows and peach blossom eyes, a tear mole at the corner of her eye, and a small cherry mouth on an oval face, her peach blossom eyes, which should have been quite beautiful, were somewhat sharp and disdainful when looking at others, and her appearance...

She was a beauty, but one with a fate as fragile as paper despite her high aspirations.

Qin Liuxi glanced over her lower belly, her expression somewhat inscrutable. Taking a sip of tea, she paused, her gaze returning to the woman’s face, which seemed somewhat familiar.

"Ah, it really is Sister Miao’er." The woman chuckled coquettishly while holding a handkerchief, saying, "Just now, I saw that girl Qingqing outside and thought I was mistaken. After all, our virtuous Sister Miao’er is about to be married, so how could she be out before the wedding? I didn’t believe in superstitions, so I came in without an invitation. It really is you, Sister. You won’t blame me, will you?"

This remark had a bit of a sarcastic tone.

Tong Miao’er stood up and gave her a courtesy: "Sister Song, how come you are here too?"

Song Zilian covered her mouth and giggled, "Of course, it’s because my lord takes care of me. He saw me complaining about bland food and brought me here to listen to music and enjoy some snacks. After all..." She patted her belly proudly and said, "I am the mother of his child."

Tong Miao’er was momentarily taken aback and then replied lightly with congratulations.

Song Zilian said, "Though I’m not as virtuous as you, Sister, I’m lucky enough to conceive just a month after marriage. This is my lord’s first child."

Tong Miao’er smiled slightly, but a hint of impatience quickly flashed in her eyes. "Princess Si Yi loves Sister Song very much; now that you are pregnant, I’m sure she will take good care of you."

Song Zilian’s triumphant smile froze at the corners of her mouth, and her eyelids twitched a few times. She feigned calmness and said, "Of course." She glanced at Qin Liuxi and the others, inspecting them: "Who are these people?"

Tong Miao’er was about to speak when Qin Liuxi said, "Your surname is Song. Are you related to Song Liyang?"

Song Zilian was slightly stunned and looked at Qin Liuxi disdainfully, asking, "Do you know my brother?"

So she really was from the Song family, which explained why this woman resembled Qin Yuqing a bit, as they came from the same family.

"A damned scoundrel, who doesn’t know him?" Qin Liuxi sneered.

Song Zilian’s face instantly turned black, glaring at Qin Liuxi, and said, "Who are you, with such a filthy mouth?"

"Did I say anything wrong? He abandoned his wife and child when the Yue family was in trouble, heartless and devoid of justice. If that’s not a scoundrel, what is? He achieved nothing even in death and almost got his daughter sold by the Song family, the pinnacle of scoundrels."

"You, you’re spouting nonsense!" Song Zilian pointed at her and yelled, "Who are you?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Qin Liuxi, looking at her belly, answered unrelatedly, "You said earlier that it’s a blessing to conceive within a month of marriage, but I say it’s not necessarily so. You won’t be able to keep this child. If you want to live, I advise you to abandon it. Otherwise, he will drag you to hell."

Blessing? It’s truly a Death Sentence.

Song Zilian’s heart skipped a beat, and she clutched her belly, retreating two steps in alarm, glaring at her, and said, "How dare you speak such nonsense? Tong Miao’er, what kind of person have you associated with, so vicious!"

Tong Miao’er said, "She is a Daoist."

Song Zilian’s eyes widened: A Daoist?

Qin Liuxi’s obsidian-like eyes looked at her indifferently, silently, with a hint of pity in them, but that was all.

"I can’t be bothered to argue with madwomen like you!" Song Zilian swallowed hard, feeling increasingly uneasy under that gaze, and turned to leave.

She shouldn’t have come; look at what kind of people she ran into?

Watching Song Zilian flee with none of her earlier triumph, Tong Miao’er ordered someone to close the door and immediately asked Qin Liuxi, "Sister, what did you mean just now? What do you mean her unborn child cannot be kept?"

"She won’t be able to keep this child. Her appearance is that of a beautiful woman with a short life, and her Heaven is dark, her blood is thick, and her Children Palace is black and red, with a hint of green, which is a bad omen. This child will cause her to lose her life."

Tong Miao’er’s heart raced upon hearing this, and she sat down with a thud, saying, "I knew it, Princess Si Yi would never let her have this child; if what you say is true, it will fall into the hands of the princess."

She didn’t doubt the truth of Qin Liuxi’s words at all, as she knew her abilities well enough.

When Qin Liuxi heard the mention of Princess Si Yi, she thought of the Lin Qingtang couple and said, "Is this Miss Song a concubine of the Princess Manor? Why does she seem to harbor some animosity towards you?"

Tong Miao’er gave a wry smile and said, "When I was seeing Xiong Er, the Song family was also interested in his background. She herself even took the initiative to ’accidentally meet’ Xiong Er, but the Xiong family didn’t fancy her, saying that when it comes to marriage, one should marry a virtuous, family-oriented wife. Xiong Er avoided her like the plague. After I got engaged to him, whenever I saw her, she behaved in this sarcastic way."

Qin Liuxi understood; it was caused by jealousy.

"Didn’t they say Princess Si Yi is reckless in her ways? How could she allow her Prince Consort to take a concubine?"

Tong Miao’er replied, "The princess has been married for two years without a child and has been taking medicine. That’s why the Prince Consort took a concubine."

Qin Liuxi chuckled, "Do you believe she is so generous? I bet this child is what she wants."

Tong Miao’er was puzzled.

Qin Liuxi didn’t explain further. Song Zilian wasn’t going to hold onto this pregnancy, and it would turn into a disaster. Having a child so soon after marriage probably involved some manipulation by Princess Si Yi, especially since she had someone who practiced witchcraft by her side.

Song Zilian’s pregnancy was undoubtedly meant to use the child for something. Wasn’t it similar to those stories about someone named Hu or Liu summoning a child?

After all, for someone who could target a baby, what methods wouldn’t they use to achieve their goals?

Qin Liuxi showed displeasure at the mention of this never-before-seen Princess Si Yi, adding to her disapproval.

"Do you also dislike Song Zilian, Sister? Do you know her brother?"

Qin Liuxi said, "My family name is Qin, and Qin Yuanshan is my grandfather. His concubine’s eldest daughter, my grand aunt, is Song Liyang’s ex-wife. You keep that in mind; I no longer associate much with the Qin family."

Tong Miao’er hadn’t expected this revelation, and she laughed, "Though the capital seems big, with these few connections, it’s not really that big; everyone knows each other."

No wonder Qin Liuxi, while offering a word of advice, wasn’t going to do much else, likely because of her connection to the abandoned Grand Aunt Qin.

Just then, Tong Miao’er’s maid Qingqing hurriedly entered, paid a courtesy, and said, "Miss, I just encountered Mrs. Cheng and her group who seemed to be inspecting, but it appears our cousin had a sudden ailment, and things are in chaos over there."

Tong Miao’er jumped to her feet: "What? Did Cousin Qin have a seizure?"

Her face turned slightly pale, and she looked at Qin Liuxi with pleading eyes: "Sister..."

Qin Liuxi gave her a reassuring smile, "Don’t worry, let’s go and see."
