Chapter 6 Buying Contraceptive Pills
Jiajia seemed to sense something and woke up feeling confused.
He was startled to see Zhang Ma standing in front of the bed, looking at him with a lewd expression.
A look of embarrassment flashed across her face, and she quickly sat up, hugging the blanket tightly with both hands.
"Aunt Zhang, what brings you in?"
Zhang Xinru had the expression of a doting mother.
"Miss Jiajia, this is a tonic that the young master specially ordered to be made for you. Drink it while it's hot."
As if remembering something, Jiajia's face, which had been flushed, turned deathly pale.
"No, I don't want to drink any supplements. Aunt Zhang, could you go and buy me some birth control pills?"
Zhang Xinru was terrified when she heard the words "birth control pills".
I knew I shouldn't have come here so eagerly; you were just being nosy.
If Fu Xiaochen found out, he'd skin her alive.
Based on my experience with novels, if she bought birth control pills for the female lead, she would definitely die a terrible death. What should I do?
Never mind, let's stall for time and figure out a solution later.
"Miss Jiajia, is it that the young master doesn't want you to get pregnant, or is it that you yourself don't want to have the young master's child?"
Jiajia: "It's my own choice not to want to be his mistress. I agreed to be his mistress for only one year, and I will leave when the time is up."
"I don't want to have anything to do with Fu Xiaochen anymore. I don't want the child. Take the supplements away. I don't want to drink them."
So there was an agreement!
It seems that Fu Xiaochen cured the female lead's grandmother's illness, and the female lead agreed to be his lover for a year, after which they would be even.
But will things be even?
Will the two of them fall in love with each other while spending time together?
Zhang Xinru looked puzzled. "Whatever," she thought, "if she doesn't drink it, I will. Anyway, no one will know."
Zhang Xinru thought this, but put on a troubled expression.
"I'll give it a try, but I might not be able to get out."
"Young Master usually doesn't allow us servants to go out without permission, otherwise I'll lose the job I finally found. Please keep this a secret, Miss Jiajia."
Zhang Xinru made a helpless expression, like a working-class person.
The female lead expressed her understanding and gratitude, assuring her that she would repay her kindness in the future.
After Zhang Xinru turned and left the room, she tilted her head back and drank the bowl of tonic in one gulp.
"It's so delicious! It seems to contain bird's nest and seafood. Hmm, not bad at all. I can skip breakfast now."
After finishing her drink, she took the empty bowl and placed it directly in the kitchen. Upon seeing the housekeeper, she said that the female lead was very happy to have finished drinking it all.
The butler nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this, looking forward to Miss Jiajia giving birth to the young master soon.
Zhang Xinru could tell what the housekeeper was thinking just by looking at his expression. It was hard for this old man to care so much about his young master.
Thinking about what the female lead had told her, she figured she could just pretend to be there at the door and make a show of it.
Unexpectedly, the housekeeper seemed to sense that something was on her mind.
"Aunt Zhang, what's wrong? Is there any aftereffect from your fall down the stairs last time?"
"If you're not feeling well, we can give you some time off. It would be better if you went to the hospital to get checked out."
No, she doesn't want to.
Zhang Xinru swallowed back the words she was about to say when she saw the female lead.
She quickly changed her tune: "Thank you, housekeeper. I am feeling a little dizzy. I'll go out and buy some medicine and be right back."
When the female protagonist heard the housekeeper let Zhang Ma out, she gave her a grateful look, as if to say, "I'll wait for you, go and come back quickly."
Zhang Xinru looked utterly dejected. "Why does that old man have to meddle? Why do you have to worry about me?"
Why didn't she just say so herself if she wanted to take leave? Did you have to bring it up first?
It's all my fault. My hands were impulsive, my legs were impulsive, and my mouth was even more impulsive. Waaaaaah!
When Wang Ma finished cleaning and passed by the kitchen, she heard the housekeeper say that Zhang Ma was going to be given a short break, and she immediately felt resentful.
When I went up to her and saw Zhang Ma's agitated expression, I was furious.
That little bitch was incredibly strong when she was fighting with her for food and drinks last night, and she ate with such gusto.
Why do I need to take a day off to buy medicine today? There must be something wrong. I want to go with her to check it out.
Thinking this, Wang Ma stepped forward.
"Butler, let me go with Zhang Ma. She's just a young girl, and her health is so weak. If something happens to her on the way, I can help her out!"
Wang Ma said these words of concern against her will, feeling as if she had swallowed a fly.
The housekeeper thought it made sense and agreed to Wang Ma's request, telling them to go and come back as soon as possible.
Zhang Xinru looked at Wang Ma with a touched expression; she knew that Wang Ma still cared about her.
She decided that if Wang Ma didn't have any children, she would recognize Wang Ma as her godmother.
Seeing Zhang Xinru's ever-changing expression, Wang Ma guessed that she must be plotting something.
To prevent Zhang Ma from saying anything about not letting her go, she quickly pulled her along like a good sister and walked with her to the door.
They remained silent the entire way.
Zhang Xinru thought for a moment, then broke the silence, "Wang Ma, do you have children?"
"I'm already this old, of course I have one. My son is a few years younger than you and is still in college."
Wang Ma spoke with great pride about her son, going on and on about how handsome he was and how well he did in his studies.
"Oh, I see!" Zhang Xinru was somewhat disappointed and had no interest in listening to what Wang Ma had to say next.
Wang Ma stopped talking, sensing that something was wrong.
Why bring up whether she has children? Then his gaze shifted to Zhang Xinru's stomach.
Is she pregnant?
It's no wonder that Wang Ma thought that way; the original owner had always worked hard.
In addition to diligently completing their own duties every day, they also have to help others with their work.
She was reluctant to eat or drink, and I never saw her spend any of her monthly salary.
He made himself look like a ghost, so thin he was as skinny as a stick.
If it weren't for their own good foundation, they probably wouldn't even be able to stand it.
Ever since Zhang Xinru transmigrated, she has always preferred to lie down rather than stand up, and avoided doing any work that she could be lazy about.
I need to eat my fill at every meal, especially last night, which was the most I've ever eaten in my body's history. My stomach hasn't completely gone down by this morning.
In addition, Zhang Xinru had secretly eaten the female lead's supplements early in the morning, so her belly looked a bit fatter than before.
In addition, the original owner used to take one day off every month, and I don't know what she did there. When she came back, she looked completely lost.
Wang Ma guessed that he must have gone to find some other man.
No wonder she didn't go this month. It must be that other man who knows she's pregnant and doesn't want to take responsibility, so he's dumped her.
The more Wang Ma thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and she couldn't help but feel a little schadenfreude.
Then I thought about how a young girl had to raise a child alone, and I felt a pang of sympathy. After all, she's still just a child.
If Zhang Xinru knew that Wang Ma was mistaking a perfectly good young woman for a pregnant woman abandoned by a stranger, she would definitely confront her and tear her face apart.
Zhang Xinru took Wang Ma to the pharmacy and, after some thought, bought some medicine to help with pregnancy and replenish vital energy from the clerk.
Thinking that if he wrapped the medicine in white paper, the female lead would definitely not suspect anything, and even if the male lead found out, he could explain himself.
I casually raised my hand to touch my stomach, and thinking that I had been eating too much these past few days, I bought some digestive tablets.
When Wang Ma saw the pregnancy-preserving medicine that Zhang Ma had bought, she raised her hand to touch her belly and showed an expression that said, "I knew it."
Then, seeing the digestive aid tablets, I thought that pregnant women shouldn't eat these, so I immediately stopped them.
"Xinru, forget about digestive tablets, they're not good for pregnant women," Wang Ma kindly reminded her.
