2685: Have the child secretly aborted.

Have the child secretly aborted.

"The employees aren't loyal to him, after all, so their efficiency surely can't be high."1

"What's your plan, then?" questioned the older woman, only to have the distraught, young lady shaking her head helplessly with gritted teeth.

"I-I want to make her lose her baby. Without the child in her stomach, she won't be able to do much; I've thought things through, and it shouldn't be a tall order to get rid of the fetus since she's all alone. I suspect that she's keeping it so that she can secretly raise it just like what that sl*t, Yun Shishi, did, then once the child's old enough, they'll return to the capital for the child to acknowledge his roots. The Mus value their descendants very much, so they'll surely acknowledge the boy as well as his mother. Even though she won't have any status, she, ultimately, can become a member of the family, which is a concern in itself. I'll have to face this mistress day in and out. Don't tell me that, even after I become the young madam of the Mu family, I still have to fight with the woman for my husband every day?"

"That…" Jiang Qimeng felt somewhat conflicted as well.

All of a sudden, her daughter told her, "Mom, why don't you and dad go cause a scene at the Mu residence? The wedding is drawing near, so surely we can complain to his second uncle and ask him to seek justice for me? We've still got a chance now that the child hasn't been born. The Mus value their reputation; we can spill this matter to the media, and once it's exposed, they surely won't sit back and do nothing about it."

"You can't do that!" She shot down the idea right away.

"Why not?" The missy could not understand her mother's objection.

"It's as good as blatantly offending the Mus! Mu Linfeng is no saint; if we end up antagonizing him, it'll do no good for our entire family."

"Then what? The Songs deserve to be bullied by them? We're no pushovers, either. Both of us may be pregnant, but I'm his legitimate fiancée while that woman is just a hussy of unknown origins. Shouldn't he give me an explanation for that? It's unfair that I must endure this humiliation when I'm not even married to him yet." She argued.

Her mother immediately comforted her by saying, "You can't put things that way, you silly lass! The young chap was somewhat coerced into this marriage, and his family wasn't entirely in agreement to your union. Think about it; you expected his child when he didn't even touch you. If not for the fetus in your belly and the fact that they are in deep waters and need the resources that we have, they would've never agreed to this! If this were Mu Yazhe, he'd definitely have your child aborted without further ado! He wouldn't even let you have the chance to threaten him with such cheap tricks! Mu Yancheng, in contrast, has just gotten promoted to a new position and doesn't have as much authority and influence. Plus, he's got a soft heart, so he'll definitely accept the child. What I'm saying is that the Mus are quite dissatisfied with this marriage; if you go too far with your demands, they'll surely be even more upset with you."

What the older woman said sounded clear and logical; it was obvious that she understood where they stood with the Mus right now.

Even though Song Enya still felt pretty much indignant, she understood that her plan to cause a scene at the other household was not a wise one after listening to her mother's analysis.
