Chapter 1638: Earning Small Money Quietly
Wen Shiqing did not expect that she would be brought before Liu's father.
Unlike Liu's mother and Shi Li, Wen Shiqing's momentum diminished the moment she saw Liu's father. She covered her stomach with both hands and looked at Liu's father in panic.
Father Liu looked at Wen Shiqing expressionlessly and didn't speak for a long time.
Until Wen Shiqing felt so guilty that cold sweat ran down her back and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
"I'm old now and don't want to fight and kill like I did when I was young."
Father Liu finally spoke slowly, glancing at Wen Shiqing's belly with disdain, "A bastard, the Liu family doesn't want it."
In fact, these matters concerning the inner house and women should be taken care of by Liu's mother, and Liu's father should not interfere.
But there is no way now. Mother Liu favors her niece and is always fooled by a few words. Father Liu can only take action himself.
When Wen Shiqing heard Liu's father say that the baby in her belly was a bastard, she couldn't hold back her tears and knelt down to look at Liu's father.
"I don't ask for anything..."
"Go back to the west wing. If you appear in front of the young lady again, I will have someone send you away immediately." Father Liu did not listen to her pitiful plea, but just said this coldly.
Wen Shiqing was carried back to the west wing by two maids, her legs were extremely weak.
When she happened to meet servants along the way, the two old women did not shy away from her and did not give her the slightest bit of face, which made her extremely embarrassed.
When she returned to the west wing, the maidservant beside her was so frightened that she came over and said in a trembling voice: "Miss, I heard... the master and the mistress said that when you give birth to the child, they will give the child to the young mistress and send you away to marry..."

Wen Shiqing's well-maintained nails were crushed in her own palms, and bright red blood flowed from her palms.
No, she couldn't let go of all these things that she had worked so hard for!
Give her a little more time, she will think of a way, there will always be a way...
In the next few days, the Liu family was peaceful.
Liu's mother seemed to have finally figured it out. Her biological son was more important than her niece, so she stayed indoors in the yard and even bought a statue of Bodhisattva to worship every day.
Liu Qihan was locked up in the name of going on a long journey to recuperate and clear his mind.
For Shi Li, this was simply a life like a god.
No one cares what I want to do every day. I have plenty of money on hand. Occasionally I go shopping and I can just pay for whatever I want to buy. I can just ask someone to prepare whatever I want to eat. I don't feel uncomfortable at all.
In the afternoon, after having eaten and drunk her fill and having no worries, Shi Li was reading a storybook and feeling sleepy when her dowry maid came in.
"The shop owner is here to deliver the latest dried apricots. Miss, would you like to meet him?"
Speaking of dried apricots, Shi Li first thought of Yu Mo. She was curious about who was delivering the dried apricots this time, so she nodded and walked out.
The person who came was the shopkeeper.
Seeing Shi Li looking at him in surprise, the shopkeeper smiled bitterly.
"To be honest with you, the other guys are really stupid, so I came here myself."
The shopkeeper spoke sincerely, handed the jar of dried apricots in his hand to the maid, and took out a small package, "I received a letter from Yu Mo the day before yesterday. He is grateful and brought some local specialties to the master. I brought them here as well."
This was exactly the purpose of the shopkeeper's coming. If other employees were to deliver the things, he would be afraid that people would gossip about it. After all, Shi Li was the wife of the Liu family, and she would not be able to bear the reputation of having a private relationship with someone.
"You've worked hard. Have a cup of tea before you go back."
Shi Li was a little curious about what Yu Mo had sent her. However, she couldn't open the package in front of the shopkeeper, so she waited until the person left before opening it.
In addition to a letter, there was also a small package wrapped in fine silk cloth.
Shi Li opened the silk cloth and revealed what was inside.
It is a small silver hairpin with the head carved into a delicate bell, which is very unique and cute.
Shi Li felt that the hairpin looked strangely familiar. She reached out to pick it up unconsciously and put it directly on her hair, as if she had always worn it like this before.
The letter was very short.
He just said that everything was fine outside and wished his employer peace and happiness from afar. Apart from that, he had nothing else to say.
But Shi Li also knew that it was not easy to go out and do business at this time. Yu Mo was a tough person and only told her good news and not bad news.
A few days later, an old friend of Liu's father came back from another place and invited Liu's father to a dinner at his home, and Liu's father gladly agreed.
But as soon as he left, Wen Shiqing quietly slipped out of the west wing.
Her purpose this time was very clear, she ran straight to the room where Liu Qihan was imprisoned. The guard Liu Qihan had been bribed in advance, and when he saw her coming, he silently opened the door and then walked away silently.
Liu Qihan's injuries had almost healed in the past few days. When he saw Wen Shiqing appear, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at her with a distressed face.
"Why does my cousin look so pale?"
