Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 221

At that time, he asked Old Mrs. Lu what happened, and that’s when he learned the full story.

Shen Qin was pregnant with Lu Yu.

Unfortunately, Old Mrs. Lu complained that Shen Qin had been at home for two days without doing any work, living like a princess and making others serve her.

She was extremely dissatisfied with Shen Qin and forced her to do laundry.

After finishing the laundry, she then made Shen Qin clean out the animal waste in the back. How could a woman be expected to do such tasks all day? But Shen Qin endured and managed to get through it.

However, after doing all this, Old Mrs. Lu demanded that Shen Qin massage her back, claiming that as her daughter-in-law, she should be filial.

Shen Qin silently tolerated this, and it wasn’t just once or twice, it happened every day.

As time went on, Old Mrs. Lu became accustomed to this treatment. She felt it was nothing out of the ordinary.

But Shen Qin was already uncomfortable due to her pregnancy, and Old Mrs. Lu insisted that she move a cabinet, saying that it needed to be taken out and cleaned before being moved back into the room. This was clearly a man’s job, yet she forced Shen Qin to do it.

Shen Qin felt pain in her abdomen and tried to explain to Old Mrs. Lu that she was unwell.

Old Mrs. Lu thought Shen Qin was just being lazy and making excuses to refuse.

She said Shen Qin was just eating the food provided without working or wanting to help. She also said that anyone else could do these task, so why couldn’t Shen Qin?

Old Mrs. Lu spoke so harshly. Shen Qin could only endure the pain in her stomach while moving the cabinet. As a result, she made a wrong step while not paying attention.

She tripped over her right with her left foot and fell to the ground.

And the heavy cabinet nearly fell on her, almost crushing her leg.

When she was on the floor, Old Mrs. Lu accused her of pretending, but upon seeing the large bloodstains on Shen Qin’s clothes, she realized the seriousness of the situation.

Eventually, the others helped carry Shen Qin to the county hospital, where it was determined that her condition was quite serious.

Fortunately, Shen Qin had a strong constitution and Lu Yu was saved. It was said that a pregnant woman shouldn’t be doing such heavy work.

From that moment on, Lu Yi’s anger towards Old Mrs. Lu reached its peak.

He simply couldn’t believe that Old Mrs. Lu treated Shen Qin this way.

Not long after, Lu Yi insisted on splitting the family.

In addition, he decided that he would no longer give his earnings to Old Mrs. Lu and would give everything to Shen Qin because he could not tolerate Old Mrs. Lu bullying her.

When Lu Yi announced the split, Li Pandi was certainly unwilling.

Originally, both Lu Yi and Shen Qin were under Li Pandi’s control, and she had the final say. Shen Qin didn’t dare to complain or argue too much for Lu Yi’s sake.

Now Lu Yi wanted to separate from her just for Shen Qin’s sake. All the money that Li Pandi had was now given to Shen Qin. It was impossible for Li Pandi to tolerate the way they were treating her, so she coldly remarked.

If they dared to split, she would make their lives miserable, especially since they were both alive and well.

In their customs, splitting the family while parents are still alive was a huge scandal.

Li Pandi naturally did not want to endure such injustice. However, Lu Yi knew that his mother had a troublesome and bullying personality, and she often took advantage of Shen Qin.
