Rebirth of the Noble Concubine

Chapter 97 97. Ashamed

Only two months after Bai Chaoke and others left, Mrs. Qiao gave birth prematurely. If the old servant at home had not found Po Wen in the rain, she would have almost died.

After a whole day and night, the child was born, a delicate and fair-skinned boy.

But Ms. Qiao's body became seriously ill due to the difficulty in giving birth. She waited and waited for a while but did not wait for the return of her sweetheart. Instead, a reminder letter ended her short and miserable life.

It turned out to be Bai Chaoke's apology letter.

He said that he was ashamed of his affection for her, that his wife was pregnant now and could not be easily stimulated, and that the matter of taking them to Qiongzhou would need to be discussed again. He also told her to take care of herself, but said nothing about the child in her belly.

Qiao took the letter and cried all night, and left on the third day.

Until her death, she didn't know why Bai Chaoke changed his mind so quickly. Was it really because he was afraid of the power of his father-in-law's family that he became a lover?

With a sigh, Bai Chaoke's mind resurfaced with many sweet scenes of the two of them, and his attachment and longing for Mr. Qiao were beyond words.

If he hadn't gone to offer incense that time, he would not have met the master of Baofu Temple in Qiongzhou, nor would he have known that the child in Qiao's belly was so naturally incompatible with him.

The beautiful dream of concubine Lin'er being reunited was completely shattered that day.

What followed was Qiao's death letter and his dismay.

As expected, the child came to collect debts and killed his biological mother not long after he was born. If he really took her here, would the master's words be fulfilled?

He didn't know, he only understood one thing.

It’s really not easy to get to this point. It’s just a child. He and Mr. Shen will have countless children in the future!

give up!

give up!

This thought lingered in his mind for a few days, and after he received a letter from his father-in-law in Lingzhou, he completely gave up on the son he had never met.

Mrs. Shen watched from the side as her husband's face suddenly changed from sadness to determination, from pain to cruelty. She was so scared that she swallowed her saliva.

After being married for many years, she still couldn't see through the person in front of her.

The agarwood burning in the room exploded softly, which brought Bai Chaoke's thoughts back.

"It's just this once, I won't do it next time! If you mess with that kid again, I'll divorce you!" There was no doubt in his words, and Mrs. Shen was so frightened that she nodded immediately.

Anyway, she had everything, and she didn't want to get too involved with the bitch's son.

Bai Chaoke rested in the study that night, tossing and turning.

Hearing the news about Mrs. Qiao again, I miss her even more deeply.

The child must be fourteen now, and I don't know what happened to him. He stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the moonlight outside the window without saying a word.

Just after Xu Shi, the Duke of Wei lit the lamps one after another.

Sitting in the study on the east side of Qingheyuan is an old man with gray hair, who is none other than Duke Wei.

At this moment, he was drinking tea and playing chess alone. He twisted the black piece in his hand for a long time before he finally dropped it. The overall situation was decided, black would win and white would lose.

Standing in front of him was a well-dressed man in black clothes, about forty years old, with an unremarkable appearance, slightly hunched over, quietly waiting for his resignation.

"Where are people?"

"My lord has arrived in Xuzhou after returning home."

The man's tone was calm and there was no trace of emotion.

"Well, remember to escort him back safely. The things in his hands are very important and cannot be leaked."

"yes."

Coming and going in a hurry, the man got the order, turned around and disappeared into the thick darkness of the night.

Seeing Bai Zi losing every game, Duke Wei felt a little pity.

Sit quietly with your eyes closed, still mumbling something.

"Feng Hai, don't blame me for being ruthless. If you look at things you shouldn't, you will naturally have to pay a price."

The sky in Dongdu became darker and darker.

Xuzhou Pier.

At this moment, an official ship from Yuhang was docked. There were more than ten strong men dressed as servants standing outside. They were standing around the ship with serious faces and bright eyes, not letting anyone else get close.

A man was lying in the cabin and resting with his eyes closed, but his mind was filled with secret messages from Duke Wei.

The order to frame the Feng family put him in a bit of a dilemma. He had some friendship with Feng Hai, and he admired his uprightness. Unfortunately, it was not good to offend anyone but Duke Wei.

After sighing deeply, he turned around and forced himself to sleep.

There is still a long way to go to Dongdu City, so you have to keep your spirits up!

The night was as dark as the unfathomable bottom of the river, but the wide surface of the river looked sparkling against the backdrop of the moonlight.

Suddenly, the man woke up from his sleep and saw thick smoke billowing outside.

The fire came quickly and violently. Someone had secretly poured oil on the deck. It ignited immediately when it encountered sparks, and soon it was a raging fire.

"Someone, come here."

The man's loud shouting did not attract the imaginary rescuers, so he spilled tea on the strips of his gown, covered his mouth and nose, and rushed out, shouting for help as he ran.

With a thud, he tripped and fell to the ground.

When he looked down, he saw that it was the people who were ordered to protect him. They were all lying motionless on the ground.

No, his whereabouts must have been exposed. Who could it be? Dare to go against Duke Wei?

Is this fire meant to burn him to death, or does it have other intentions?

In a panic, the man seemed to see someone coming this way. Fearing that his life would be threatened, he ruthlessly followed the rope next to him and jumped out of the boat.

The crackling sound of the burning wooden boards covered up the sound of the man falling into the water deliberately and lightly. Under the darkness, he could not be seen hiding in the water.

"Where is the person? Why is he missing?"

"Looking for him, I have to dig three feet into the ground to find him!"

"yes!"

More than a dozen men in black scattered in the thick smoke. He knew that if he didn't run now, he would be caught soon, so he took a deep breath, dived into the water, and headed towards the shore not far away.

Swim over.

There is a private room near the water. If you go up there, you may be able to escape.

I don't know whether it was his luck or the stupidity of those men in black, but he actually escaped like this.

On the second day, I found some rags and rags in a ruined temple outside Xuzhou City, disguised myself as a refugee fleeing from famine, and headed towards the Eastern Capital City step by step.

Early the next morning, Feng Jinyao arrived at Feng Er's yard. Unexpectedly, she didn't see the real owner when she entered the door, but she met Yin Canwen who was staying here for the night.

At that time, Yin Canwen also looked over, with a sense of disbelief in his deep eyes, it turned out to be her!

Looking at the figure of a woman standing in the wind and snow, thin but not delicate, I suddenly understood something.

The few red sandalwood trees were blown by the winter wind, which made him feel very excited at the moment.

Last time, just a sound made him obsessed with it. This time, when he met face to face, he realized that he had been deeply involved in it.

"Miss Feng?"

"Master Yin got up so early, is my second brother up?"

"Oh, you're up. Brother Feng did a couple of sets of boxing in the yard to warm up. Now he's going back to the house to wash up."

Yin Canwen explained.
