Chapter 21 Remembering the Past

What to do? What to do? What to do? Dad and Mom are going to bring my older brother and sister-in-law's family back from Xiawei?

Mu Long paced anxiously back and forth in his room, muttering to himself.

Oh dear! So what if Dad and Mom want to bring your older brother and sister-in-law back from Xiawei? It won't affect you at all.

Xiangyun, sitting in a rocking chair, cracked sunflower seeds as she spoke to Mulong.

Go away! What do you know, you woman? If my elder brother and sister-in-law don't return to the Yang residence, then the entire Yang residence will be mine!

Even if your elder brother and sister-in-law don't come back, this entire Yang mansion can't possibly be yours! Stop dreaming!

That's right, this Xiangyun is the same Xiangyun who ran to Xiawei and had a big fight with Longzhen back then. Actually, Yang Mulong bought Xiangyun from a trafficker to be his maid.

One day, however, some of Mu Long's good friends came to visit the Yang family. One of them noticed that Xiang Yun was quite pretty. So he came up with a plan: to persuade Mu Long to put Xiang Yun in Old Man Yang's room.

Because Old Man Yang loved to drink, they planned to find a night when Old Man Yang was drunk and secretly put Xiangyun on his bed.

The next day, news was released that Old Man Yang had slept with a lowly maid, using this as a pretext to prevent Old Man Yang from taking the supreme position of village chief.

But they hadn't anticipated that Old Man Yang wouldn't drink that night. Old Man Yang even used this opportunity to kick Xiangyun, their pawn, out of his room.

When their first plan failed, they devised another: they slipped an aphrodisiac into Yang Mulong's wine glass and then forced Xiangyun into his room.

After this incident, rumors spread that the two Yang brothers had framed each other in their struggle for the position of clan leader. This affair caused a great stir in Jiekou Village that year. Old Man Yang was forced to leave his hometown because of it.

Several months later, one morning, Xiangyun got up as usual to make breakfast for everyone. A smell of roast chicken wafted over from somewhere, and Xiangyun felt nauseous as soon as she smelled it. She immediately covered her mouth with one hand and ran quickly to the ditch. She vomited violently into the ditch, but nothing came out.

Suddenly, Xiangyun remembered the scene when her sister-in-law was pregnant, which was just like what she had just experienced. Then she started counting on her fingers to figure out when her last period was.

At this moment, Biyun, a maid who was close to Xiangyun, walked past Xiangyun and saw Xiangyun counting on her fingers, seemingly calculating something.

Xiangyun! Xiangyun! Xiangyun! What wonderful thoughts are you having so early in the morning? Look, you're even drooling!

"You damned brat, do you even realize you've hurt me?! Guards, drag her out and give her fifty lashes! Hahahaha!"

Hehehe! Xiangyun, wake up! We need to get up! It's time to make breakfast for Master and Madam.

As Biyun spoke, she waved her hand in front of Xiangyun's face.

If I became the second young mistress, the first person I'd deal with would be Rong Momo!

Upon hearing Xiangyun's words, Biyun immediately covered Xiangyun's mouth with her hand.

Xiangyun, what's wrong with you? Why are you talking nonsense so early in the morning? Do you know that what you just said could cause trouble if some ill-intentioned people heard it?

Xiangyun laughed as she pointed to her stomach; "Do you know what good stuff is inside? Do you know whose good stuff it is?"

At this moment, someone brought over a basin of cold water and poured it mercilessly onto Xiangyun.

Wake up! Having such a sweet dream first thing in the morning, if word gets out, I'd like to see how you'll stay in the Yang family mansion.

When Xiangyun woke up again, she was already lying in Yang Mulong's room.

What to do? What to do? What to do now? My dear dragon, how could you do such a thing?

Yuqin hurriedly patted her hands with a handkerchief as she paced back and forth in front of Yang Mulong.

Oh dear! My good mother! Could you please stop walking back and forth in front of me? Your constant pacing is making me dizzy!

How can you still be in the mood to talk about these things now? Shouldn't you be thinking about your relationship with Xiangyun?

What's there to think about? I'll just marry Xiangyun into the Yang family and let her rest and prepare for childbirth in peace. Wouldn't that solve the problem?

Hey! If only things were as you said! But do you know what the villagers would say behind our backs if you married Xiangyun?

Hey! It's almost the 20th century, why are we still talking about marrying someone of equal social standing? Those are outdated ideas! They should have been abolished long ago...

Second Young Master, it's alright if you don't marry me! I'll leave the Yang family after I give birth to this child. As for the child, I'll leave him/her in the Yang family. My only wish now is that my child can grow up safely in the Yang family.
