Chapter 488 - 488: Dispute



Laidi shook her head sadly. “Cousin didn’t even get anyone to report the good news. It’s not convenient for me to go.”

“It’s windy outside. Come in and sit for a while.” Li Fengqi stood up and helped Laidi into the house, making her sit on a chair. “Laidi, if I have the chance to go to the Directorate, I’ll definitely be on the list next year.”

“The Directorate!” Laidi thought for a moment and looked at Li Fengqi. “Didn’t you say that you couldn’t enter if you didn’t get a good ranking?”

Li Fengqi glanced at Laidi. “There’s an opportunity now. Someone is willing to recommend me to the Directorate.”

“Really?” Laidi looked at Li Fengqi. “Did Lord Gu help you?”

Li Fengqi shook his head and said, “It’s not Lord Gu. I’m not sure who it is. I only know that the other party is a noble.”

Laidi looked at him in confusion. “Since we don’t know each other, why should they help us?

Li Fengqi looked at Laidi and hesitated for a moment. He felt that he had to try Laidi. “They have conditions for helping us.”

Laidi was enlightened when she heard that. “I knew it! How can there be such a good person who helps you for no reason? How much silver do they want? If it’s too much, we can’t take it out.”

“They want… want…” Li Fengqi glanced at Laidi’s stomach and stammered.

Laidi smiled. “It looks like you need a lot of silver. Tell me! If it really doesn’t work, I’ll pawn the jewelry my cousin gave me.”

“Laidi, I did something and they caught me with something. They forced me, forced me… Laidi, help me for the sake of the child. I’ll definitely treat you and your mother well in the future.”

A bad feeling came over Laidi. “Tell me first what they’ve got on you. What did they force you to do?”

Li Fengqi closed his eyes and said in one go, “They want a child from your Cousin’s family. ”

“You want a child of my cousin? I don’t understand what you mean.” Laidi looked at Li Fengqi’s pale face.

Li Fengqi did not dare to look into Laidi’s eyes. He lowered his head and said, “They said that as long as we steal a child from your Cousin’s house and give it to them, they will recommend me to the Directorate.”

Laidi suddenly stood up and slapped Li Fengqi. “How can you say that?”

Laidi’s hands trembled as she pointed at Li Fengqi with tears streaming down her face. “Beast, how dare you say such a thing? If they want our child, are you going to agree too?”

“How is that the same?” Li Fengqi covered his face in a sorry state and looked at Laidi with a ferocious expression. “Do you think I’m willing to do such a thing? Let me tell you, I used your cousin’s news to exchange for those exam papers at home. If you don’t agree to them, they’ll tell your cousin about this. At that time, we won’t have a good time either!”

“No wonder you kept asking about my cousin.” Laidi felt her heart ache and her stomach hurt. She looked at Li Fengqi in disappointment. “So what if they tell about Cousin? Everyone in West Mountain Village and Phoenix Village knows about this. My cousin never said that she wouldn’t let anyone tell.”

Li Fengqi roared in a low voice, “If your cousin has always been a village girl, of course, there’s nothing to say. However, she’s now a First-grade Madam. Do you think she’s willing to let the nobles in the capital know that she broke off the engagement and lived in someone else’s house for a few years?”

“That’s because you have dirty thoughts.” Laidi felt her stomach hurt uncomfortably. She bent down and held her stomach. She looked up at Li Fengqi. “Give up. Even if you don’t get on the rankings for the rest of your life, I won’t do such a thing.”

“Inexperienced village woman.” Li Fengqi pointed at Laidi. “It won’t do you any good if I don’t win in my life!” With that, he rushed out of the house.

Laidi chased to the door and held her stomach with a pale face. She looked at Li

Fengqi’s back and muttered softly, “Mother… Mother… I’m in so much pain…’

Another wave of pain hit her. Laidi fell to the ground and hissed in pain. Blood flowed down the side of her dress.

“Blood, Madam, you’re bleeding.” When the old woman heard Li Fengqi leave, she exited her room. When she saw the blood by Laidi’s skirt, she was shocked and shouted into the courtyard, “Qiu, quickly call the midwife. Madam is about to give birth. Hurry!”

“I’m on it.” Da Qiu ran out of the hut and toward the alley behind.

The old woman helped Laidi into the inner room and placed her on the bed. She comforted her. “Madam, bear with it. The midwife is coming soon. Fortunately, it’s more than seven months old. The child can be raised after birth.”

Laidi looked at the old woman with tears in her eyes. “Child, my child…”

The old woman looked at Laidi and felt a little sad. “Madam, bear with it. The child will be fine.”

The midwife followed Da Qiu into the courtyard and entered the house to take a look. She realized that the delivery path had already been opened. She looked up and said to the old woman, “Why are you so early? Go boil hot water and get something to eat for your Madam.”

The old woman agreed and ran out. The midwife complained softly, “Girl, I told you a few days ago that your pregnancy is not stable. I told you not to be agitated. Why didn’t you listen? Where’s your man?!”

Laidi groaned and shook her head. When the midwife saw this, she understood and comforted her. “Girl, don’t be afraid. I’ve delivered babies for decades. you’ll give birth soon. Bear with it and don’t scream. Otherwise, the child and you will suffer when you run out of strength later.”

“Yes!” Laidi bit her lip and nodded.

The old woman cooked a bowl of sugar eggs and fed Laidi a few mouthfuls. Laidi shook her head and couldn’t eat anymore. The midwife followed the old woman out and said to the old woman, “Your Madam’s pregnancy isn’t good. Go and call someone back to call your master back. If anything happens, you can make a decision.”

When the old woman heard this, she hurriedly said to Qiu, “Qiu, quickly go to the restaurant in front and find Master.”

After agreeing, Da Qiu hurriedly ran towards the small restaurant in the Tongzhou Guild Hall. When he arrived, Little Jiu stopped him. “Uncle Da Qiu, are you here to drink too?”

Da Qiu asked Little Jiu, “Didn’t my master drink in the restaurant?”

“Your master hasn’t been here for a long time. What happened?”

Da Qiu was in a hurry to find Li Fengqi. As he ran, he said, “My Madam is about to give birth. The midwife said that she’s not very good and asked us to find Master.”

“I’ll help you find him.” Little Jiu hurriedly greeted the shopkeeper and followed Da Qiu along the nearby taverns, but he couldn’t find him after going to a few places.

Seeing that it was almost dark, Da Qiu suddenly thought of a place and brought Little Jiu to a restaurant. He found Li Fengqi, who was drinking with the barmaid.

When Little Jiu saw Li Fengqi’s red face, he couldn’t help but spit at him. “What kind of person are you? You’re actually drinking here when your wife is giving birth prematurely.”

Li Fengqi looked at Little Jiu angrily and shouted, “Who do you think you are? I’m a dignified High Scholar. How dare you spit at me?”

Little Jiu looked at him disdainfully. “So what if I spit at you?”

“Master…” Da Qiu hurriedly pulled Little Jiu back and told Li Fengqi about

Laidi’s premature labor..
