My mother-in-law’s words sent me plunging straight to the bottom. I never expected things to end up like this. This was no longer just a matter of Fang Tian—it meant that I still had to stay in the Yu family home.

In the past, even though I was also living with the Yu family, at least I was on my own. Though there were occasional cold looks, it was still better than now—living under the same roof as a mistress.

To me, this was simply torment.

I had no right to refuse—what a perfectly said line. Right now, without a divorce, I truly had no way to have any choice of my own. But I believed that even if I had a child, my days in the Yu family would definitely not be easy.

“How do you still have the nerve to lie here? Hurry up and go cook!”

That one sentence in the morning directly signaled the start of my nightmare.

“Why should I?”

“Because you’re the Yu family’s daughter-in-law now, because you’re carrying the Yu family’s seed, and because you’re living in the Yu family’s house!” My mother-in-law’s three reasons completely blocked any room I had left to resist.

I swept a cold glance toward Yu Jin’s room. That had originally been where I slept, yet now he was holding another woman in his arms, and I still had to serve them.

Thinking about it was nothing but mockery.

Holding the pot lid, I lowered my head and let my gaze fall on my belly. For a moment, I couldn’t help but space out.

Am I… pregnant?

I felt a bit doubtful about everything I was seeing in front of me.

“What are you standing there for? Do you want our whole family to go hungry waiting for you? If you starve our Yu family’s child, can you bear the responsibility?”

Why is that? Isn’t the child in my belly also the Yu family’s seed? Hearing my mother-in-law’s words, they sounded incomparably sarcastic to me. I tightened my grip on the ladle and began cooking for the “Yu family.”

Breakfast was very simple. By my usual standards, a bowl of porridge would have been enough, but considering there were more people, I still quickly stir-fried a few eggs, added a plate of cured meat, and seven or eight buns.

“What is this? Is this even fit for people to eat? What if my grandson gets hungry?” Faced with my mother-in-law’s cold remarks, I didn’t pay her any attention and quietly drank my porridge.

Being willing to cook for the few people in the Yu family was already more than enough mercy on my part. Did they still have the right to nitpick?

“Brother Jin, I can’t eat this. This food is too coarse—my baby is already making a fuss in my belly.”

Fang Tian’s sweet, delicate voice was like a thorn stuck in my throat.

“Then don’t eat it! Stop eating this coarse stuff. Come on, I’ll take you out to eat at a restaurant. We can’t let our baby go hungry.”

Yu Jin was attentive toward Fang Tian, while at the same time his cold gaze mercilessly landed on my face.

“Eat it or don’t—it’s up to you. I’ve got one in my belly too, and I’m not as delicate as you. Since you don’t like eating it, I won’t cook anymore from now on!” I raised my hand, picked up a bun, and took a big bite.

She, Fang Tian, might be delicate, but I wasn’t. As long as I was full, buns were fine—steamed bread would do just as well. Fang Tian had food to eat and people to serve her, yet she still found it hard to swallow. How ridiculous.

“Hmph! Stop eating! Our Yu family’s rice is only for our Yu family to eat! Since you don’t treat yourself as part of the Yu family, then go find your own food from now on!”

Find my own food? Do you think I care about that bit of rice?

“Fine! Then don’t say later that I starved your Yu family’s seed!”

My words directly shut them up. What a joke! It wasn’t like I wanted to live in the Yu family house in the first place. Since they called me here but won’t even support me, I might as well not stay—at least it would be peaceful.

Of course, in the days that followed, I naturally went my own way—eating when I wanted to eat and sleeping when I wanted to sleep. After making a fuss a few times, they stopped bothering with me.

Right now, I was carrying the Yu family’s seed in my belly, and I also had leverage over the Yu family in my hands. They were afraid of hurting their own seed if they hit me, and no matter how much they scolded me, I didn’t take a single word to heart.
