Very quickly, Mei Feng settled the situation at home.
In the presence of everyone, she admitted her mistake.
There were tens of housekeepers in the household in total, and everyone was shocked by what she told them.
After she admitted that she had set Xia Nuannuan up, the latter and Shen Zihao returned to the Shen family residence.
The day that the both of them returned, all of the housekeepers smiled respectfully at Xia Nuannuan.
Mei Feng was full of jealousy when she witnessed how well-regarded Xia Nuannuan had become. She had even heard the housekeepers talk among themselves:
“Say, Madam’s position was compromised the moment Young Madam returned! I think from now on we ought to treat Young Madam better.”
“What do you know?”
The person said in a low voice, “Young Madam is now pregnant with a Shen family descendant! Madam… has never even given the Shen family a son or daughter.”
Mei Feng tightened her fists angrily when she overheard this.
The words. .h.i.t her where it hurt most.
“Ultimately, Madam will lose out because she has no children. The lead of the Shen family will eventually go to Young Master anyway. When that happens, won’t Young Madam be in charge? Hence from now on, we should take Young Madam seriously.”
The small group of housekeepers talked to themselves as they walked away. Mei Feng got out from hiding around the corner and cried in anger and humiliation, as she looked at the back of the couple.
Clenching her fists tightly and turning around, she suddenly saw that Shen Xiu was standing behind her.
Mei Feng’s eyes turned bloodshot at once.
She looked at Shen Xiu and said through gritted teeth, “Shen Xiu! Did you see that? That’s how the housekeepers perceive me! I—”
Shen Xiu sighed as she spoke. She reached out and put his arm around her shoulders.
Mei Feng continued, “What do they know? We have had children before.”
They had children.
At the time, when she and Shen Xiu had been together secretly for five or six years, she had had a number of pregnancies.
But every time it happened, Shen Xiu would take her to abort.
Finally, because she had had so many abortions, she could no longer get pregnant.
All of this had been because of Shen Xiu!
Mei Feng cried like there was no tomorrow while Shen Xiu, full of guilt, embraced her.
In the end, with his arms around her, he said, “Alright, Feng’er, don’t cry. It’s all my fault. I haven’t given you what you deserve. I’ve already said this, Zihao is your child too, he will not disrespect you.”
She lowered her head and said, “Now he already treats me like this because of a girl. In the future… who knows?”
The moment she said this, his pupils shrank. “If he is disrespectful towards you, I’ll break his legs!”
Mei Feng lifted her head and said, “Don’t say that.”
She bit her lip.
Shen Xiu snorted icily, however, and said, “I already made it clear before that I didn’t want such a daughter-in-law, but you insisted that we should take her in first and then think of ways to get rid of her. Now see what has happened. She’s got your Achilles’ heel. How are we going to deal with this in the future?”
Mei Feng gritted her teeth angrily and said, “Don’t worry. I’ve lived for so long, surely I can manage a young girl.”
Shen Xiu nodded.
After a moment, he said, “If you really can’t handle it, leave it to me.”
“Don’t. It will spoil your relations.h.i.+p with Zihao if you do that. And wouldn’t that only push him towards Xia Yehua?” she lowered her head as she said this. “Leave these things to me.”
Shen Xiu looked at her and said after a pause, “It’s terribly hard on you.”
