Chapter 685: Once you send someone away, they won’t come back (39)
"If you can't keep it secret, just give birth to the baby. It's no big deal!" Uncle Liang suddenly changed his usual serious look, and revealed a bit of disapproval in his words.
He put his arm around the woman in front of him and continued, "I only have one son anyway. Whether you give me a son or a daughter, I will love it very much!"
The head maid Ruyi couldn't help but tremble all over, and there was a hint of "timidity" in her voice: "But...but if the child is born now, then this child will be...? How can I face people in the future!"
As she spoke, she lowered her head subconsciously, pretending not to dare to look at Mr. Liang.
Accustomed to his wife's strong and aggressive nature, he now particularly likes this timid little white flower.
"Humph! What are you afraid of!" The Liang family's uncle snorted coldly, with a hint of complaint in his tone, "I have spent most of my life with that yellow-faced woman, and because of her, I only have one son.
Now that we are finally going to have a child, what else can she do? If she dares to say anything, I will tear her to pieces!"
After saying that, a look of resentment flashed across his face.
At this time, Ruyi hurriedly persuaded him, "Master, calm down. Madam has been busy with housework all day long. Even if she has no credit, she has worked hard.
Don't bother with her. It's not worth getting sick from being angry. My child and I are still depending on you!"
Ruyi looked understanding and gently comforted Mr. Liang.
"Haha, my Ruyi is still the most well-behaved and sensible!" Uncle Liang was in a good mood when he heard that, and hugged Ruyi tighter.
Ruyi was very proud in her heart, and she always looked happy: "It is also my blessing to be able to give birth to a son and bring happiness to the master!"
After saying this, she lowered her head just right and buried it in the chest of Mr. Liang, causing him to laugh. He hugged her in a rather innocuous manner and turned around to leave Mrs. Liang's room.
At this moment, the two of them bumped into Liang Huaixin who was walking towards them.
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze, the three of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward...
Liang Huaixin had actually just heard part of it, but seeing with his own eyes how close his father and Ruyi were gave him a completely different feeling.
He suppressed his anger and bowed respectfully to his father: "Father, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to act like this with my grandmother's maid in broad daylight in her room."
The Liang family's grandfather, who was originally a little embarrassed, immediately frowned when he heard his son dare to say that to him: "I don't need you to tell me what to do."
Ruyi quietly hid behind the Liang family's master, pretending to be pitiful.
Liang Huaixin sneered, "Father, don't forget that the family's reputation is of vital importance. If this maid really gave birth to your illegitimate child, the family would become a laughing stock if the news got out."
"'A maid can't give birth to my child?'" The Liang family master, who was "threatened" by his son, laughed in anger, "Then what kind of status can give birth to my child? Can a concubine? Or a concubine? Or maybe your mother will be more generous this time and agree to let me marry a concubine?"
"Father!" Liang Huaixin was educated after all. "You should know that the good and the bad should not be mixed. She is a slave!"
"It's no big deal!" The old man of the Liang family was obviously criticized by his son and had the intention of breaking the jar and throwing it away. "It's just a matter of spending some money to cancel the registration. You don't have to worry about it."
After saying that, she pushed her son away and planned to leave with Ruyi.
Liang Huaixin didn't know if he was mad or not, he actually stepped forward and tried to pull Ruyi.
The weak woman was pulled by him a few times, but she did not resist deliberately. Instead, she sobbed aggrievedly: "Master, this is all my fault. Please don't blame me. I am willing to leave here and will never bring shame to the Liang family."
Uncle Liang was initially uncomfortable when he saw his son actually fighting with a woman, but he couldn't go too far and could only try to mediate.
After all, if word got out that a father and son were fighting over a woman, that would be a very bad thing.
Now when he heard Ruyi's words, he became anxious and was about to scold his son.
But he didn't expect that his son would actually make the decision for him.
I only heard Liang Huaixin say: "In this case, father should send her away, so as to preserve the family's reputation."
During the stalemate, Ruyi saw the opportunity, sat down on the ground, and began to groan while holding her stomach: "Child, save my child, he is still so young!
Young Master, I will never let this child threaten your position. You are still the master's legitimate son, but this child is at least your brother or sister, so just let him go!"
"You are such a narrow-minded beast that you can't even tolerate an unborn child." The Liang family's uncle, who was still undecided, slapped his son and said, "Get lost. If I see you get close to your mother and brother again, I will punish you according to the family rules."
After saying that, he picked up Ruyi and left.
Liang Huaixin was left alone there with a bewildered look on his face.
