Pregnant? This lowly woman actually got pregnant with Luo Jia Ming's child?

Mu Dan felt her mind had never been so clear before; this child absolutely cannot be kept!

She offended He San Niang today; if He San Niang gains status through her son, then even if she could enter the Luo family's gate in the future, she would definitely be suppressed by her!

Mu Dan fiercely stared at He San Niang's belly and lunged at her without hesitation.

He San Niang had been on guard against her; seeing this, she obviously knew Mu Dan's intentions, having already been angered by her earlier, now old and new grudges surged, and she reached out to grab Mu Dan's hair.

One is a courtesan, the other a flirtatious widow; when they fight, they naturally can't use knives or guns, only able to pull hair and scratch faces.

Seeing the two women actually start fighting, Luo Jia Ming became extremely anxious.

To him, although both palms and backs are flesh, He San Niang's belly contains a child, naturally making her more precious.

Thus he stepped forward to protect He San Niang, but being overly anxious, he inadvertently pushed Mu Dan away, and Mu Dan almost fell to the ground.

For this man, she drank bitter medicine day after day for years, just to give him a son, but he actually changed his heart!

If the object of his change of heart were a lady from a respectable family or a pure maiden, it would be forgivable, but the object of his change of heart is actually a widow, a disreputable flirtatious widow.

Mu Dan's anger surged from her heart; in her fury, she suddenly erupted with limitless force, knocking Luo Jia Ming, who was protecting the young widow, aside.

Luo Jia Ming never expected that such a beautiful, delicate woman would suddenly erupt with such terrifying force; his whole body was pushed and flew out, striking frontally against the large stone slab He San Niang used for pickling vegetables.

The edges of that stone slab were sharply angular, and its pointed part struck the man's most vulnerable spot.

Not only were Mu Dan and He San Niang, who were fighting, stunned, but even the neighbors next door who were eavesdropping were also frightened.

Only A Ming, present as a man, understood Luo Jia Ming's pain.

He horrifiedly watched Luo Jia Ming curled up on the ground, covering a certain vulnerable part of the man, and likewise let out a mournful cry: "Second Master!!!!"

Luo Lao Tai Tai saw her son being carried back, crying heartbrokenly; her trembling hands clutched the doctor tightly: "Say it again, you said Jia Ming—what exactly happened to him?"

The doctor wiped sweat from his forehead, hesitatingly said to Luo Lao Tai Tai: "Perhaps it's just that my medical skill is lacking; you could go seek a more skilled old doctor."

"Go find him right away!" Luo Lao Tai Tai's voice was mournful, "Fetch all the doctors from Pomegranate Flower Town for me!"

Luo Jia Ming wailed on the bed; he wanted to roll around, but two strong servants tightly gripped his arms.

The Luo family had almost summoned all the doctors from Pomegranate Flower Town, yet one after another doctors shook their heads and left the Luo residence, indicating they were powerless.

Luo Jia Ming's cries of pain grew ever weaker, appearing to exhale more than inhale.

San Ya and Si Ya are still young; Chun Hua restrained them from going over, after all Second Master's injury is in an inappropriate place; the two little girls are still young, whether to fulfill filial duty or not is difficult, really a dilemma.

A three-colored cat crouched by the window, eyeing the scene inside the room.

"Does it really hurt that much?" Jiang He the cat pondered.

He recalled his past life as a eunuch, but back then the wish-maker wasn't in as much agony as Luo Jia Ming; that person's flesh was truly cut off, whereas Luo Jia Ming didn't have it cut off—although it's useless, it's still pleasant to look at.

Seeing that the doctors were all helpless, Luo Lao Tai Tai had already despaired.

She plopped down on the ground, wailing to heaven and earth: "Heaven, why don't you have eyes! You're causing the Luo family to die out!"

Not far away, San Ya hugged the cat, burying her face in the cat's soft fur, concealing her upturned lip corners and the sharp gaze that a child wouldn't have.

The system was simply speechless.

After a long while, it stammered: "Host, is this what you called disabled?"

Not even a bit of skin was lost, and that counts as disabled?

Jiang He the cat casually said: "Psychological disability is also disability!"

Mainly, Luo Jia Ming is truly disabled; Xu Shi's lovesick brain will surely have the young lady take care of him, and he doesn't want Luo Jia Ming to burden the few young ladies, so let him be disabled elsewhere.

The system always felt displeased; after all, it had been expecting the host to take action, making Luo Jia Ming lose his hands and feet; even Luo Jia Ming didn't have it cut off at the root, just being knocked out, not a drop of blood spilled.

When did the host become so tender-hearted toward a scumbag?

Jiang He the cat couldn't help laughing, educating the system: "System ah, you're not a man, you don't understand! Believe me, I understand men's psychology better. Luo Jia Ming would certainly rather lose his hands and feet than lose that part; after all, men, especially feudal society men, currently have no son, would rather lose an arm than lose that piece of flesh."

"I'll just say this, if I uninstall your core's gender consciousness…"

The system stared wide-eyed with its bean-sized eyes: "Impossible! Then I'd be neither male nor female."

How could a genderless system pursue the system maiden? The system maiden would surely despise it as a hermaphrodite… no, a system monster.

The host's example was too simple and clear; the system could really relate, finally understanding Luo Jia Ming's blow.

It discovered it still had much to learn; indeed, being human isn't that simple.

Listening to Luo Jia Ming's wails, the system felt refreshed and delighted, finding it extremely pleasant to the ear.

The Luo family's several girls are all good children, yet because of their gender they are ignored by their scumbag father, lacking paternal love—which is forgivable—but seeing his own mother Luo Lao Tai Tai mistreat her daughters and also not care.

They lack neither food nor drink, but Luo Lao Tai Tai is unwilling to spend money to hire someone to teach the girls to read, write, and understand principles; moreover, she treats them as maids to do work, venting her anger on them, regarding them as a punching bag, and fundamentally not regarding them as granddaughters.

In the system's view, Luo Lao Tai Tai's treatment of her several granddaughters is outright abuse.

San Ya also finds her father's wails pleasant to the ear.

She delights in her father's misfortune; Chun Hua covered her ears, thinking she didn't understand, but she, who will become a nurse in the future, truly understands the human body.

She originally thought her father would become lame or something, but it turns out he's become a grandfather? It's simply refreshing; this way, Luo Tianci definitely won't have a chance to be born, and her sisters and brothers won't be subjected to his bone‑sucking marrow‑extraction, dying young.

Although the doctors were powerless, they still prescribed medicine.

After a bowl of medicine was poured down, Luo Jia Ming finally fell into a deep sleep, Luo Lao Tai Tai also composed herself and sternly interrogated A Ming, who had been beaten half to death.

A Ming dared not conceal anything, and he recounted the events in detail.

Although A Ming was stout, he was actually just eighteen; when the incident occurred, he hurriedly put a long robe on the immobile Luo Jia Ming and carried him running to the clinic.

For a servant with little experience, he had already done enough.

However, Luo Lao Tai Tai did not think so; if it were not the new era when servants could not be arbitrarily beaten to death, she truly wished to beat A Ming to death.

The Luo Family has already been cut off from heirs; there is no hope.

For a moment, Luo Lao Tai Tai felt utterly despondent; she waved her hand and had A Ming taken to the woodshed and locked up.

At night, Luo Jia Ming woke from pain, fully conscious, realizing he had become a eunuch; the thirty‑year‑old man wailed, tears and snot streaming.

"Mother, am I beyond cure?"

Luo Lao Tai Tai's heart felt like it would break; she clutched her son and said, "Of course not! Just because Chinese medicine can't help doesn't mean Western medicine can't; I've heard Western medicine is miraculous—people survive having their chests opened and bellies cut open; this is only a minor injury."

"Really?"

Like a drowning man clutching a straw, Luo Jia Ming gripped his mother's hand tightly, his eyes flashing with hope.

Luo Lao Tai Tai naturally nodded and said firmly, "When your father returns, I'll have him take you to Peaceful Brocade City—there's a big hospital there."

After Luo Lao Tai Tai personally fed her son the calming and pain‑killing medicine, she covered her head and walked out the door, her spirit somewhat dazed.

After a while, she let go, fierce, and said, "Go, call Xu Shi over and have her attend to her man!" Even though her son was like this, Xu Shi did not show up.

Madam Huang reminded, "Old Lady, the mistress isn't here." Upon hearing this, Luo Lao Tai Tai remembered that Xu Shi had returned to her natal home.

Early yesterday morning, Xu Shi took Da Ya and Er Ya back to her family's old country house to pay respects.

Xu Shi's birth mother had died early, and her father passed away in the third year after she married; now the old Luo family house is occupied by a remotely related adopted cousin's family, and each year when she returns to pay respects, she stays a few days in the Xu family old house.

The adopted brother is honest and weak‑willed, but his wife is shrewd; she smiles obsequiously at this high‑married elder sister, and seeing her husband like a wooden block, she can't help pinching him several times.

"Say something, and properly receive the elder sister."

The brother, as if just waking from a dream, scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Elder sister, are you hungry?"

No sooner had he spoken than his wife pinched him furiously.

Even Da Ya felt embarrassed for this uncle.

Er Ya is also rather slow, but at least she manages her surface etiquette well.

Thinking of this, Da Ya felt a bit proud again; her younger sister is very smart, having early on noticed Er Ya's problem, and they specially trained Er Ya, so now Er Ya's interactions with people and handling of things are basically flawless.

Now even the Luo family's servants dare not call the second miss foolish, because she has superb embroidery skills—a small embroidered piece can sell for a silver dollar.

How could she be a fool? She is clearly a goddess of wealth!

After Xu Shi finished paying respects to her parents and cried, she returned to her brother's house to rest.

Her parents had only her as a daughter and had always wanted a son; from childhood on, she often heard her mother sigh because she couldn't bear a son, and even at death her mother felt guilty, saying sorry to the Xu clan's ancestors.

These days the outside world is unsafe, with bandits and villains rampant on the roads; if he and his son were both gone, the Luo Family would be left only with the old, weak, women and children, and could only be slaughtered at others' mercy.

"We definitely have to go to Peaceful Brocade City, but those two vile women cannot be let off." Luo Lao Ye almost ground his teeth, saying, "They caused my Luo Family to be cut off from heirs; I will make them miserable for life."

Mu Dan asked angrily, "Where did Saniang flee to? I will never let her go!"

Now it's fine—finally she has met her retribution.

The Luo Family will certainly not let this rest; even a petty official in a bureau couldn't afford to offend the Luo Family, and he doesn't believe that Saniang is some chaste woman who could endure without spilling the beans.

What karma has he created in this life? His eldest son died young, his second son is good-for-nothing, and even in old age he still has to worry about him.

As for money? The amount Luo Jia Ming gave her is not small; if she is frugal, it's enough for her expenses.

If the Luo Family had descendants, would the parents still spare no effort to save his manhood? After all, the Luo Family already has descendants, so whether it's useful or not doesn't matter.

Luo Lao Ye is a decisive man; the next day he prepared to take his son to Peaceful Brocade City.

"Miss Mu Dan, I've inquired—Luo Jia Ming's injury is very serious, and all the doctors in Pomegranate Flower Town are helpless." Fang Dequan said with a veiled expression, a hint of delight flashing in his heart.

On the other hand, he also worried about Mu Dan, concerned that Luo Jia Ming was unwell.

Who would have thought Luo Jia Ming would actually be made a eunuch?

Upon learning that Luo Jia Ming had injured his manhood, Saniang knew things had gone badly.

The weather was hot, the sun beating straight on the carriage roof; the interior, piled thick with quilts, was like a huge steamer, and when sweat flowed to his wounded spot it hurt and itched, he dared not scratch or rub it, it was almost unbearable.

What right does a eunuch who can only look at beauties but not touch them have to compete with him for the flower queen?

Because the house had to be sold quickly, it fetched only half its price; although she was dissatisfied, she also knew there was no time to haggle further.

Mu Dan was even more panicked than Saniang; when her reason returned, she finally realized what had happened.

Upon learning that Luo Jia Ming had been made a eunuch, she knew the Luo Family would not let her off.

At night, when the servants helped him wipe his body, they were practically startled.

She had followed Luo Jia Ming for five years—five years, how many such spans does a life have? Luo Jia Ming had once sworn to take her into the Luo Family gate, had once strolled with her under flowers and moon, promising to treat her well for a lifetime…

He had more than once told his son not to be bewitched by courtesans—what good could those women be? He didn't know why, but he insisted on defying his parents; the more they tried to keep him away from women, the more eagerly he pursued them.

Almost every man in Pomegranate Flower Town envied him, wishing to take his place; Luo Jia Ming, who constantly embraced left and right and enjoyed endless romantic fortune, became a eunuch.

To be frank, if Saniang didn't run, he would still have a headache figuring out how to deal with her.

After selling the house, Saniang quietly left Pomegranate Flower Town; being clever, she feared someone would discover she had money, so she hid half of her wealth in her late husband's grave.

Fang Dequan felt conflicted inside; on one hand he was moved by Mu Dan's affection for Luo Jia Ming—indeed Mu Dan differed from the unfeeling, unrighteous, flirtatious widow Saniang; even though Luo Jia Ming had become a eunuch, Mu Dan's deep feelings for him remained, and she did not want to give up.

Because the adopted brother's family had too many sons and lived in hardship, her father gave over the youngest child as an adoptee, giving a large sum of money to the distant paternal uncle's household, and explicitly stated that henceforth this child would have nothing to do with that uncle's family.

Mu Dan trembled with rage all over.

Luo Lao Ye didn't sleep much that night; if his son's manhood truly couldn't be saved, what would he do?

If Saniang appeared before her, she could tear her apart alive!

Saniang is decisive; she immediately went to find someone to sell the house.

In five years' time, even a stone would be warmed by being held, let alone a person.

Perhaps it was the person who helped her sell the house, knowing she had sold it, wanting to come and cheat her.

How can there be such a shameless woman in this world? For the sake of wealth and glory, she actually went to deceive Luo Jia Ming? Even if she wanted to enter the Luo Family, she would never resort to such despicable means.

He San Niang loves money, but she loves sexual pleasures even more.

"I don't have any, I just feel they don't deserve to die." Luo Jia Ming still couldn't bear to part with them; he still held the notion of waiting until their bodies healed before taking them into his home.

Fang De Quan was right; Luo Lao Ye is not the philandering, incapable Luo Jia Ming. He won't show pity and cherish her; she needs to find a place to hide first, to avoid this calamity, then talk later.

She is just over twenty, with a face like flowers and moon; even if the Luo Family is wealthy, she does not want to marry a man incapable of marital relations.

A flash of light appeared in Fang De Quan's eyes.

"Where?" Mu Dan asked instinctively.

Fang De Quan's face sank; he never imagined things would turn out so absurd. His original intention was to let Mu Dan see Luo Jia Ming's philandering nature, so she would give up on Luo Jia Ming and choose him.

Fang De Quan secretly breathed a sigh of relief; he had been ready to kill and silence her, but He San Niang's death would cause greater trouble. The Luo Family would surely suspect a conspiracy, thinking He San Niang was sent by someone with a grudge against the Luo Family to deliberately cripple Luo Jia Ming, and then the matter would surely blow up even more.

Luo Jia Ming hesitated for a moment, but did not say that He San Niang was pregnant with his child.

Things progressed step by step toward the direction he hoped for; he was naturally pleased inside, but showed nothing on his face as he said, "I know a very secluded place where the Luo Family will never come looking."

Only then did Mu Dan recall her situation; she couldn't help but shiver.

She is a love‑obsessed person, believing that love makes even water taste sweet; seeing her brother's family living in harmony, she can't help but fantasize that if she bore a son, she and her husband might be just as affectionate.

When leaving Pomegranate Flower Town, she heard strangers inquiring about her; she pretended not to hear, but her heart rose. This certainly wasn't someone sent by the Luo Family, since they all thought she was pregnant and would not speak so fiercely.

After her brother grew up, her father's health had already deteriorated; fearing he would be controlled by his birth parents, she deliberately got him a formidable wife.

Such a man would have been a palace eunuch in the past, a father‑in‑law.

After her mother died, her father never remarried.

Besides that reason, Luo Jia Ming actually hated those two women in his heart; why did they start fighting, dragging him into it?

The roads leading out of Pomegranate Flower Town are all rugged mountain paths; Luo Jia Ming used to ride out on horseback, but only now did he discover how painful it is to travel by carriage.

Even so, He San Niang still felt unsafe; she deliberately disguised herself as a poor person and slipped away behind a merchant caravan.

Moreover, he hired a dozen or so capable hands.

She now hates He San Niang to the bone; if it weren't for her, how could Luo Jia Ming have suffered such serious injuries?

"Extinction of the line?" Mu Dan only felt her heart burn with anger; she gritted her teeth and said, "He San Niang isn't pregnant? How could the Luo Family possibly be cut off from heirs?"

Fortunately she had prepared thoroughly; every exposed patch of skin was dyed brown, making her look like an old woman hardened by life's hardships.

Upon hearing this, the elderly Luo couple exchanged a glance.

He put on a stern face and looked at his son.

Mu Dan's heart trembled, tears streamed down, and she murmured, "It's all my fault……"

He San Niang now feels great relief that she is not truly pregnant with a child; if she really were carrying the Luo Family's child, she would have to give birth and be bound to the Luo Family for life, making it inconvenient to sneak around with men.

He still cannot afford to offend the Luo Family, and his bureau chief's brother‑in‑law would not side with him against the Luo Family either.

He doesn't mention at all his role in stirring up trouble there; anyway, He San Niang has fled, leaving no dead witness.

Luo Lao Ye returned the next morning.

The already swollen and inflamed spot, soaked in sweat, turned pale like a lump of dead flesh; Luo Jia Ming, a big man, couldn't help but cry out in pain, and Luo Lao Ye felt both heartache and frustration at his inability to become strong.

That part was already injured, and the rough road made it feel as if his bones were about to shatter.

If she hadn't impulsively gone to his door to catch him in the act, but instead sent someone to deal with He San Niang, she wouldn't have come into direct conflict with Luo Jia Ming.

He San Niang, frightened, clutched the dirty, foul‑smelling bundle in her arms.

Seeing her eager appearance, Fang De Quan felt smug; the peerless Mu Dan flower finally fell into his hands.

Actually, there is one point: Mu Dan was right—He San Niang's husband didn't die from a fall off a horse, but he also died from excessive sexual indulgence.

He knows his own son well enough; who doesn't know what kind of character he has? He decided to still send these two women away from Pomegranate Flower Town—a worldly woman and a flirtatious widow—neither of whom is any good.

One must admit, Luo Jia Ming's nature is simply selfish and self‑serving.

"Bodhisattva, if you have spirit in heaven, please bless the Luo Family not to be cut off from heirs; in the future the Luo Family will surely build bridges and roads, doing many good deeds."

"He San Niang has run away." Fang De Quan said lightly, "Her pregnancy is probably fake; the aim was to enter the Luo Family's gate."

Luo Jia Ming asked, "Father, you wouldn't want to kill someone, would you?"

Just as Mu Dan felt both hatred and anger, and had to worry about the Luo Family coming to her door, she never expected Fang De Quan to show up first.

He isn't refusing to speak; he just wants to delay it as punishment—who made them cause him to become like this?

He had people pile several layers of blankets in the carriage, placed Luo Jia Ming on them; although time was urgent, he still spent money to ask the bureau chief to send some people to take him to Pingjin City.

Xu Shi was very pleased that her brother and his wife got along well, and she even bore two sons to continue the Xu family line.

"I'm not sure; the bureau is short‑staffed, and recently there have been rural brawls that prevented timely road closures, allowing He San Niang to escape." Fang De Quan put on a worried face, "The Luo Family is still fuming right now; you'd better not show up. Wait until they calm down, then you can have a proper talk with them."

She also felt very uneasy inside.

Although Mu Dan loves money, she does have feelings for Luo Jia Ming; she also doesn't want to see him become like this. If it weren't for Luo Jia Ming betraying her and getting involved with a widow, she wouldn't ……

Fang De Quan secretly frowned, his face showing concern as he said, "I heard Luo Lao Ye will return to Pomegranate Flower Town tomorrow morning; he's different from Luo Second Uncle—he's ruthless and merciless. You'd better hurry and find a place to hide. The Luo Family is now considered cut off from heirs, and Luo Lao Ye won't let this rest."

"What, you can't bear to part with them?" Luo Lao Ye raged, frustrated at his stupid son—no wonder he's being toyed with by women in the palm of their hand.

Rather than enter a eunuch's household and spend a widow's life guarding him, it would be better to find a strong, vigorous man to marry.

While resting at a ruined temple along the way, Luo Lao Ye devoutly cleaned the spider‑web‑covered Bodhisattva, used two candles as incense, and bowed several times, full of despair.
