The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant

Chapter 462: Chapter 462: Charging Up a Big Move

Song Ci had been keeping an eye on the case of those missing children, her intuition from watching so many drama series told her that it wasn’t that simple.

The person behind it must be planning something big.

”In my opinion, it’s likely a bad outcome. Sigh, I heard the Chen family’s Young Madam has even tried to end her life.” Jiang Shi played a red middle tile.

Indeed, Song Ci was so bored that she called her daughter-in-law over to play mahjong.

”I win.” Lin Qing pushed the tiles and looked at Jiang Shi with a smile, saying, ”Big Three Dragons, eighty-eight points, thank you for your generosity, Second Madam.”

Jiang Shi glanced at her tiles, dumbfounded, and said, ”No way, Doctor Lin, how many times have you won today, and all my heavy hits. You’re really targeting me.”

Lin Qing smiled faintly, ”Luck’s on my side today.”

Jiang Shi listlessly handed over a string of copper coins, touched her belly, and said, ”Daughter, don’t always give money away. We need to get some big wins to save up for your dowry!”

”Second sister-in-law, this might be a boy.” Niu Pan’er said.

Jiang Shi glared, ”Say that again if you dare!”

Niu Pan’er quickly pleaded, ”My mistake, it’s definitely a little niece. As soon as she’s born, I’ll start preparing a set of jewelry for her dowry.”

Jiang Shi was satisfied and smiled, ”That’s more like it.”

Song Ci said, ”Don’t be so sure it’s a daughter. If it turns out to be a boy, you’ll be slapping your own face.”

Jiang Shi’s face changed, ”Mother...” She looked to Lin Qing for support, ”It’s a girl, right?”

Lin Qing appeared deep and unfathomable, ”People can misjudge things sometimes.”

Jiang Shi was instantly deflated.

Song Ci: ”Doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl, as long as they’re healthy. If it’s not a girl, you can have another. You’re still young anyway.”

All the women blushed, feeling shy.

Jiang Shi composed herself and said, ”Mother is right. I heard that the Chen family’s Young Master has been in poor health for years. If that little grandson can’t be found, the Chen family, having had only one heir for nine generations, then...”

Everyone’s face turned solemn, and after a moment, they all sighed heavily.

What a curse.

Meanwhile, the head of the Chen family, with nine generations of a single heir, sat by his wife’s bedside, looking incredibly aged.

”Husband.”

Madam Chen sat up, looking at him with a hint of coldness in her eyes.

”You’re awake, are you hungry? Lie down quickly.” Chen Da came to his senses, hurriedly trying to help her lie back down.

But Madam Chen clutched his hand, her grip not weak like a sick person.

Chen Da was stunned, staring blankly at the hand grabbing his, then looked up.

”You...”

”They are here.”

Chen Da was a bit dazed, but then Madam Chen looked straight at him and said, ”Husband, if you want Indigo to return safely, you have to bring out that thing.”

”Wha, what?”

Madam Chen leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear.

Chen Da’s face was full of horror, he pushed her away and stood up: ”You!”

Madam Chen gave a small, faint smile, ”This is the only way to get Indigo back.”

Chen Da was dumbfounded and said, ”Are you the traitor of the remnant?”

Madam Chen neither confirmed nor denied, nor did she reply.

Seeing this, Chen Da understood everything and shouted in anguish, ”He’s your own grandson too.” How could she be so heartless?

”I can only say, this is the only way. Husband, Anning won’t live much longer, Indigo is the Chen family’s only hope.” Even so, wouldn’t you trade for him?

Chen Da’s face turned ashen, his lips trembled.
