Chapter 1149: I Never Intended for the Wife to Live

uld barely protect themselves, and given their notorious reputation for cruelty, they spent years interacting with wild beasts. Villagers often saw blood on them, so frightened that they would retreat...Chapter 1149: He Never Planned for His Wife to Live

Although Fang Jinshu was inside the space, she could still hear the sounds from outside.

Yuan Buyu had naturally heard the threats she made against A Sheng and the other servants' lives. Looking at Wen Xiaorou who was sleeping soundly, she felt that she couldn't let Yuan Buyu get away with it so easily.

Their relationship was far from one of mutual help, friendship, and gratitude.

The baby is out. She gave Wen Xiaorou an oxytocin injection, and since she wasn't having a normal delivery to begin with, the baby was born in half an hour. However, the fetus had been holding its breath in the womb for a while, and it didn't move for a good while after being born.

For the next half hour, she performed CPR on the child. Thankfully, she was there to help him; if it had been one of the imperial physicians, he might not have survived.

Fang Jinshu gave Wen Xiaorou another shot, and after a short time, she opened her eyes.

"My child, how is my child"

As soon as a mother opens her eyes, she instinctively looks for her child. Fang Jinshi, without saying a word, put the well-taken care of little one into her arms.

"Your child is good."

When Wen Xiaorou saw the child, the anger that had been coursing through her body instantly dissipated. She naturally exuded a maternal radiance. Fang Jinshu lightly coughed twice.

"The children are fine, but you're in a bit of trouble."

Wen Xiaorou was a bit at a loss when facing Jinxiu now. She never expected that Jinxiu would actually disregard past grievances and save her and the child.

As a result, she didn't notice that the surroundings were different from before, and she had no idea where she was.

"I, I what"

"There was a problem with your body during childbirth. You may not see anything now, but over time it will deplete your qi and blood. If this continues for too long, it could be fatal."

"You wouldn't want your child to become a motherless child in just a short while, would you"

"No, Yuan Xiang definitely wouldn't let his own child be without a mother. Who knows, maybe when you die, he'll take another beautiful wife to be the stepmother to your children."

Wen Xiaorou couldn't stand Fang Jinxiu's scare tactics. As soon as she finished speaking, her face turned pale with fright.

“No, I don’t want to die, and I don’t want my children to have a stepmother.”

She was taken aback, looking at Fang Jinshu as if she had suddenly found a savior.

"My lady, I beg you, if you can save my child, surely you can save me as well."

"Your medical skills are so good, please save me."

Fang Jinxiu asked back, "Are we good friends Why should I save you"

Wen Xiaorou was about to cry, biting her lower lip desperately trying to think of a reason, one that could make Fang Jinshu save her.

Suddenly, she thought of it.

"By the way, your family hasn't always been at odds with Lord Xiang, has it I could act as an inside man for you."

"As long as you save me, and don't separate us mother and child, I will tell you anything you want to know."

Fang Jinshu was a little surprised. She originally just wanted to take this opportunity to extort Yuan Buyu for a large sum of medical expenses, but she didn't expect Wen Xiaorou to say that.

"Do you know what the consequences would be for acting as my inside man"

Wen Xiaorou bit her lip and nodded bitterly.

Of course I know, if he found out I'd be dead. He's fallen and my children and I would be implicated.

"So I also want to request one more thing from you."

She didn't have to say it for Fang Jinshu to know what it was.

"Do you want me to save your and your children's lives"

Wen Xiaorou hesitated for a moment before shaking her head.

"I don't need to, during the time I was in the Xiangfu as a concubine, although Xiangye ordered people to restrict my movements, I could feel they were doing something very dangerous."

“I don't want my child to be burdened with such danger from the moment he is born. If, I mean if, you are caught helping me and things go wrong, please, for his sake, save him.”

Fang Jinshi said impassively, “This child is very important to Yuan Xiang. Even if you died, he wouldn't make things difficult for the child.”

Wen Xiaorou, however, shook her head persistently.

"No, I know what he's doing now is very dangerous. The child being with him will be dangerous sooner or later."

"It's just in case, please agree to my request, please."

Fang Jinxiu let out a sneer, "You have quite a lot of requests from me."

"You want me to be your inside man, but you make me agree to a bunch of demands."

Wen Xiaojiao picked up the child and wanted to kowtow to her, Fang Jinshu saw this and quickly stopped her.

"Oh oh oh, I'm most afraid of people pulling this on me."

"Alright, I agree."

"Just nod along when I speak later, don't argue with anything I say, understand"

Wen Xiaorou was delighted to see her agree to his request and quickly nodded.

"Yes, everything is up to the madam."

With a sweep of her hand, Fang Jinxiu brought two people out from the space. Wen Xiaorou only noticed a slight change at this time, but before she could think about it further, Yuan Buyu had already sent someone to hack apart the cloth surrounding them.

Thankfully, they arrived just in time. Otherwise, they would have put on a spectacle right before Yuan Buyu and all these servants and guards - a truly dramatic performance.

"Lord Xiang," Wen Xiaorou's acting was pretty good. As soon as she saw Yuan Buyu, she immediately had tears in her eyes, looking incredibly wronged.

"My lord husband, look, I have given birth to a son for you."

Yuan Buyu's icy expression melted noticeably upon hearing this.

He glanced at Fang Jinshi and then instructed the people around him.

"Go and fetch a palanquin, quickly bring the madam over here."

Fang Jinshi took a large step forward to him, “Wait.”

"Master Xiang, isn't this a bit like overstepping the bridge after crossing it"

Yuan Buyu seemed to only see Fang Jinshi now, revealing a smile. But this smile looked uncomfortable for everyone.

"It turns out to be Mrs. Wuhou, today's affairs still have to thank Mrs. for her help, another day Yuan certain will send a generous gift to express gratitude."

Fang Jinshi still didn't budge, she just retracted her arm and let out a cold laugh.

“I didn't expect Yuan Xiang to just dismiss the life-saving benefactor of his son with a small gift! It's not easy for someone like Yuan Xiang, at his age, to give birth to a son. I don't mind, but I'm afraid that if people find out about this, they'll say that the dignified prime minister is so petty.”

No one could tell what Yuan Buyu was thinking, but Fang Jinshu knew he wouldn't want to give her anything precious as a way of truly thanking her.

She went to a lot of trouble saving Yuan Buyu's son, and it wouldn't make sense to let him get away with not paying. He wanted to shirk his responsibility, but that wasn't going to happen.

"Mrs. Wu Hou, there seems to be a misunderstanding. Yuan doesn't mean to dismiss you."

"The gift will certainly not be something small, it will surely satisfy Lady Zhuge."

He gave a tight smile, convinced that Fang Jinshu was taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble. He just couldn't figure out what she was up to for now.

"My esteemed lord, you needn't go to such trouble preparing gifts for me. I come from the countryside and am a simple person. I have no interest in elegant objects or antiques. Please don't waste your kind intentions on me."

"Why don't you just convert your gratitude into gold and silver, Grand Master That's what I prefer."

Yuan Buyu heard Fang Jinshu directly ask him for gold and silver, his eyes full of disdain.

"Alright, since Lady Wu has spoken, Yuan will have silver and gold sent to your residence after returning home."

He thought that was the end of it, and he turned around to leave with Wen Xiaorou, but unexpectedly he was called back by Fang Jinxiu.

"Wait."

Yuan Buyu and the others were starting to get impatient.

"Lady Wu Hou, is there anything else you wish to instruct"

Fang Jinshi let out a chuckle. "Instruction Not at all. I merely wanted to inquire, Yuan Xiang, wouldn't you be concerned about your esteemed husband's well-being after childbirth"

"Or are you going to leave the mother and keep the son Did you never intend for your wife to return home alive"he county magistrate, Jade Lotus wouldn't believe it. But if it was her sister-in-law, then nothing would be impossible.Fang Jinshi smiled helplessly, "Silly girl, even if the county magistrate knew m...
