Chapter 658 - 657: Consolation
Lady Qian saw that Jinchai’s mind had been swayed by her own words and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After indulging in dreadful fantasizing about Wang Yongzhu falling into the hands of robbers and being violated and ruined, she finally felt some vindication.
Seeing that Jinchai’s mood had improved slightly, Lady Qian cautiously asked, "Jinchai, was the lord good to you last night? Now that you are the lord’s woman, you are no longer at home; you can’t throw tantrums anymore! You must serve the lord well! If you don’t know how, just think about how your mother served your father daily and learn from her. You must revere the lord as if he were heaven itself, understand?"
Jinchai was still but a young girl; although she had harbored resentment towards Lady Qian and Wang Yongan, a few coaxing words from Lady Qian had made her forget.
Hearing Lady Qian’s concerned inquiry, tears suddenly filled her eyes, and she choked out, "Mother, I’m afraid, it hurts so much—"
Tears also welled up in Lady Qian’s eyes as she held Jinchai, "My child, this is something all women must go through. Just endure it for now, and it will get better! The next time the lord comes to your room, remember not to look sullen, but to be cheerful, understand?"
"Mother, but I’m scared, it really hurts, Mother—", Jinchai thought of the previous night and could not help but turn pale.
"Jinchai, now that you have become the lord’s woman, your lifelong hope lies with the lord. If you don’t keep the lord entertained and make him stay in your room more often, how will you get by in the future? Take advantage of the lord’s initial fascination with you and conceive a child quickly; that is the true foundation for securing your future!" Lady Qian advised earnestly.
Jinchai’s face stiffened. She was still a child herself, and now she was expected to bear a child?
Moreover, when she had woken up that morning, a bowl of Contraceptive Soup was waiting for her.
For some reason, Jinchai had the words on the tip of her tongue, but they were swallowed back down as if by some demonic influence, and she vaguely nodded in agreement.
