Chapter 1276 - 1272: Tricking Ruan Xiao Jiao Into Drinking Abortion Medicine

From ancient times to the present, whether it is a man or a woman, being a third party and cheating are both unforgivable acts.

Especially when Mu Dade puts a green hat on someone else’s husband.

And this person is not just anyone, but a county magistrate of the county.

Not to mention anything else, just the power of a county magistrate, even ten Mu Dade’s couldn’t withstand the kind of trouble!

Moreover, if this thing gets exposed in the future, the Old Mu Family is sure to suffer the consequences!

Although she has Xing Beichen’s Life-saving Token, the rest of the Old Mu Family does not.

If the county magistrate gets implicated, what should happen to the other members of the Old Mu Family?

The more Mu Shuangshuang thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed.

But she didn’t know whom she could discuss it with!

By coincidence, Fengzi left at this very time!

Thinking of Fengzi, a smile finally appeared on Mu Shuangshuang’s face.

Forget it, forget it, I’ll think more about how to resolve this once I get back!

...

At a courtyard in the county, Mu Dade, who had obtained fetus-preserving medicine, entered the place Ruan Xiao Jiao had rented with a joyful heart.

This courtyard is much better than the place Mu Dade had rented before.

There are bamboo groves in front and back, the air is refreshing to breathe, and the space is large enough, particularly suitable for someone like Mu Dade who enjoys reading!

Ruan Xiao Jiao was cooling off in the pavilion of the bamboo grove, and as soon as she saw Mu Dade, she happily jumped over.

"Da De, you are back..."

Mu Dade nodded with a smile and said, "Jiaojiao, you sit for a while longer, I’ll go make you some medicine!"

Mu Dade waved the fetus-preserving medicine in his hand and went straight to the kitchen.

The little maid, Taohua, who followed Mu Dade out suddenly said, "Madam, Master is so good to you, he’s actually making the medicine for you himself!"

"Yes, I also think Da De is good to me!"

Ruan Xiao Jiao appeared gleeful and also caressed her belly.

In her belly lies Mu Dade’s child, already a month old.

"But Madam, about you and the Master, would it..."

Taohua had been serving Ruan Xiao Jiao for many years; Ruan Xiao Jiao had once saved her parents’ lives.

So Taohua gave her indenture to Ruan Xiao Jiao and is someone whom Ruan Xiao Jiao trusts.

"Rest assured, he is busy with administrative affairs, where does he have the time to bother about the rear court!" Ruan Xiao Jiao said.

"But... but do you really want to have the child? If the County Magistrate finds out, you’ll be ruined!" Taohua asked.

Even though Taohua already called Mu Dade "Master," in her heart, she still feared the County Magistrate finding out about this.

"Yes! Taohua, if you love someone, you should have a child for him! Moreover, I consulted a great master, and the baby in my belly is definitely a boy!

Mu Dade’s wife never gave him a son in her life; what she couldn’t do, I can accomplish! Do you think Da De loves me more or loves her more?"

The girl shouting about love was completely unaware of Mu Dade, busy in the kitchen at that moment.

He put the abortion medication, the red flower, into the abortion prevention medicine.

Mu Dade is no fool; he won’t let a child ruin his future.

He is about to become a county officer; his affair with Ruan Xiao Jiao cannot be exposed now!

Everything Mu Dade did was right under Ruan Xiao Jiao’s nose, yet she never knew.

A batch of medicine took half an hour to simmer, and Mu Dade spent that time in the kitchen.

When he finished preparing the medicine and carried it out, Ruan Xiao Jiao was nearly falling asleep!

"Taohua, go prepare the lunch and tidy up the room!" Mu Dade instructed Taohua.

Not thinking much of it, Taohua followed Mu Dade’s words and went to rest.

"Jiaojiao, you should drink this medicine while it’s hot, or it won’t be as effective later!" Mu Dade urged.

Ruan Xiao Jiao glanced at the dark medicine and suddenly didn’t want it.

She held her stomach, pouting to Mu Dade.

"Da De, I really don’t want to drink it, can’t I just skip it? This stuff is so gross..." Ruan Xiao Jiao stuck out her tongue.

She continued, "Da De, I still can’t believe I’m having your child; it feels like a dream!"

Mu Dade followed with a laugh, speaking hypocritically, "I feel the same. Although I have two daughters, only this time gives me a sense of being a father.

Jiaojiao, you must have the child, after the imperial examination in three years, I’ll surely be in the Capital, and then I’ll take you both away!"

Upon hearing this from Mu Dade, Ruan Xiao Jiao felt thoroughly comforted.

"But what about Sister Jin? She is your rightful wife; won’t you want her?"

Perhaps pregnant women are more talkative; Ruan Xiao Jiao had asked Mu Dade this question countless times.

Mu Dade didn’t want to answer, as it was rather annoying!

"Jiaojiao, have you forgotten what I said? You are my only wife; before and even more so in the future!

When I head to the Capital, I’ll divorce her. Besides, you’ve seen how jealous she is; she found out about us, and the first thing she thought of was to tell the County Magistrate, so we... we would die!"

Mu Dade did his utmost to disparage Mrs. Jin, and every time Ruan Xiao Jiao heard this, she felt regretful.

Back then, she shouldn’t have let Mrs. Jin out of prison.

She should have let her die in prison, so that dead woman wouldn’t cause trouble for Da De now.

"Ah, it’s my fault; I wish I had been more capable back then!" Ruan Xiao Jiao said.

"If I had stayed by your side, she wouldn’t have had the chance to poison you; then we wouldn’t be in this situation..."

The more she thought, the more uncomfortable Ruan Xiao Jiao felt, and the guiltier she felt toward Mu Dade.

She glanced at the medicine in Mu Dade’s hand, just about to drink it.

But the feeling of disgust lingered.

Caressing her belly, Ruan Xiao Jiao softly said, "Son, Mommy is just drinking medicine, don’t make Mommy suffer!"

As soon as Ruan Xiao Jiao finished speaking, Mu Dade’s hand holding the bowl froze.

He looked at Ruan Xiao Jiao and asked, "Jiaojiao, what did you just call? Son..."

"Yes, right, I forgot to tell you, I asked a high monk yesterday, the child in my belly is a boy. You will have a son to carry on your lineage!" Ruan Xiao Jiao innocently revealed.

She took the medicine bowl from Mu Dade’s hand, just about to drink, but Mu Dade knocked it away.

The medicine spilled onto the ground, almost burning Ruan Xiao Jiao!

"Da De, what are you doing?" Ruan Xiao Jiao asked in bewilderment.

Mu Dade barely managed a smile, "Didn’t you say you didn’t like drinking medicine, didn’t our son also not like it, so we won’t drink it!

My son, Mu Dade’s son, will grow up healthy even without drinking medicine!"

Ruan Xiao Jiao did not know that if it weren’t for her calling "son" just then and informing Mu Dade she was carrying a boy,

Mu Dade would surely have not spared this child!

"Then I won’t drink it!" Ruan Xiao Jiao laughed alongside.
