Rebirth of a Village Girl novel Chapter 1252

Chapter 1252: 306: The plot is revealed!_6

Did she misunderstand Cao Xiaomei?

Shangguan Xi stopped reading and turned to leave.

Little did she know, if she had looked back at that moment, she would have seen the smug smile playing at the corners of Cao Xiaomei’s mouth.

Meanwhile, Cao Xiaomei had just finished preparing bird’s nest soup when a servant came to deliver a message, "Xiaomei, the old lady is looking for you."

"All right, I’ll go right away." Cao Xiaomei turned off the stove.

Just as Cao Xiaomei left, Shangguan Xi followed into the kitchen to check on the bird’s nest soup. Seeing that Cao Xiaomei wasn’t there, she lifted the lid of the stew pot and found the soup almost ready. She decided to scoop out a portion to bring to Madam Wu.

She still hadn’t been able to conceive a child, and surely Madam Wu was upset. Bringing her the bird’s nest soup might help show her filial respect.

Shangguan Xi carried the bird’s nest soup upstairs to Madam Wu’s room.

The door wasn’t fully closed, just slightly ajar.

Shangguan Xi raised her hand to knock. At that moment, voices came from inside.

It was Cao Xiaomei’s voice.

Curiosity and Ni Yang’s warning caused Shangguan Xi to halt her knock, focusing on the voices inside.

"Old lady, why did you call for me?"

"The medicine has been procured."

Medicine?

What medicine?

Shangguan Xi frowned slightly. Could someone in the family be ill?

"Really?" Cao Xiaomei’s eyes lit up.

Madam Wu nodded and handed Cao Xiaomei a paper parcel. "This is it."

Through the crack in the door, Shangguan Xi could see Madam Wu handing Cao Xiaomei a yellow paper-wrapped item.

Cao Xiaomei received the parcel, her heart pounding wildly as if she could already see a life of wealth and prosperity.

Fantastic!

She had finally waited for this day to come!

Wu Chenjun would finally belong completely to her.

Madam Wu continued, "What’s your plan? Chenjun isn’t foolish; he won’t obediently drink it."

Wu Chenjun?

Shangguan Xi grew more baffled as she listened.

Is this medicine intended for Wu Chenjun?

Cao Xiaomei was supposed to bear a great-grandchild for her!

Since the truth was out in the open, it was time to tear away all pretenses.

After all, Shangguan Xi was incapable of giving birth.

If this got out, the one in the wrong would still be Shangguan Xi.

"The one who should leave is you! Shangguan Xi! You can’t have children yourself, and now you want to stop someone else from having Chenjun’s child? Get out! Leave right now!"

"Grandmother, what did you just say?" Shangguan Xi looked at Madam Wu in disbelief.

Cao Xiaomei sneered coldly, "The old lady told you to get out! Didn’t you hear her? Shameful! As a woman, you can’t even bear a child. If I were you, I’d be too embarrassed to continue living in this world!"

In the midst of her tirade, Cao Xiaomei reached out and shoved Shangguan Xi.

So what if Shangguan Xi was a rich young lady?

Today, she still ended up being trampled under her feet!

Shangguan Xi stumbled and fell to the ground, a sharp pain shooting through her lower abdomen. Her face instantly turned pale.

Downstairs, Wu Chenjun and the Wu Family parents heard the commotion and immediately rushed upstairs.

Wu Chenjun saw Shangguan Xi collapsed on the ground and dashed over to scoop her up. "Xiaoxi, what’s wrong?"

Shangguan Xi clutched Wu Chenjun’s arm, her face ashen. "My stomach, my stomach hurts so much..."
