Chapter 0016 – Colorful Butterfly (1 / 2)

While Xiang Capsicum’s heart was at war with heaven and man, Cai Die woke up quietly, saw Xiang Capsicum checking her pulse, and hastily drew back her hand.

Cai Die looked at Xiang Capsicum, her gaze a little evasive: “Sister Xiang Capsicum, I’m fine, just a little dizzy. It’s Xiaohong who is too worried about me, it’s hard for you to make the trip.”

Xiang Capsicum worriedly said, “But you–“

She had checked Chen Zisheng’s pulse many times and there could be no mistake, if Caidie was really pregnant, it could only mean – what Caidie was carrying was not Chen Zisheng’s child at all!

The maid Xiaohong said anxiously from the side: ”How can sister be fine? I’ve watched you lose a lot of weight these days, and you even fainted today! Quickly let Xiang Capsicum help to see what’s going on!”

“I said I’m fine!” Cai Die suddenly exclaimed, startling Xiao Hong and Xiang Capsicum, then hurriedly got up, “I’m sorry, I’m too tired today, I’m going to take a rest first.”

Xiang Capsicum did not want to expose Caidie at this point, only comforting, “The young master said that sister Caidie can take two days off. Sister Cai Die, you can rest assured that you are recuperating – recuperating from your illness.”

Xiao Hong wanted to say something, looked at Xiang Capsicum, and then looked at Cai Die, but finally closed her mouth tightly and silently followed Xiang Capsicum out of the courtyard.

“Sister Xiang Capsicum, please don’t blame her, Caidie is not unhappy with you, she is just–” Xiao Hong wanted to put in a good word for Caidie in front of Xiang Capsicum, but she didn’t get the word “just” out. Suddenly, her eyes turned red: “She is just too tired.”

Xiang Capsicum looked at Xiao Hong, thinking that she was only a thirteen or fourteen year old child, it would be better not to let her know about these dirty things.

Just look at Xiao Hong and Cai Die such a sincere sisterhood, but called Xiang Capsicum recalled and Bamboo Shadow sister together those days, the heart more than a few feelings.

Fragrant Capsicum didn’t say anything, just patted Red’s shoulder soothingly, “I get it, I get it.”

“Sister Fragrant Capsicum, you get your face in front of the master, naturally you won’t appreciate the difficulties of us inferiors.” Xiao Hong said quietly, and suddenly felt that she had lost her words.

She panicked and quietly squinted at Xiang Capsicum, seeing that Xiang Capsicum was only slightly stunned and did not mean to be angry, so she gritted her teeth and ran away stiffly, calling Xiang Capsicum to cry and laugh.

I never thought I’d have a day to be envied.

Xiang Capsicum secretly laughed to herself in her heart, and then she let out a bitter smile and walked back to her own side yard.

Today, Chen Zisheng and Chen Zian chatted late and rested alone after the deliberations, so Xiang Capsicum could also go back to her bedroom to rest.

As night fell, Xiang Capsicum tossed and turned in bed, somewhat unable to sleep. She repeatedly wondered whose baby Caidie had in her belly, and whether she had the same intention of using her belly to rise to power as she did.

The former Xiang Capsicum naturally had no way of knowing, but Cai Die was so out of sorts today that she should not want others to know she was pregnant.

After all, the probability was that Cai Die did not know about Chen Zisheng’s hidden illness, and if her master found out that her commoner was pregnant with another man’s seed, what awaited her must be certain death.

Xiang Capsicum sighed softly. For people slave girl, body contract one day was clutched in the hands of others, life and death are involuntary. She and colorful butterfly personal relationship is not deep, just the first time into the blue cloud courtyard, colorful butterfly also to her more care, if there is a way, she also do not want to let colorful butterfly fall into the end of the body to die.

But how could Capsicum herself not be in a position to protect herself?

It was windy, and the hut where Xiang Capsicum lived had not been repaired for years, and was rattled by the fall wind. She got up and re-bolted the doors and windows, and after a moment’s hesitation, rummaged through the bottom of her box and pulled out a simple cloak.
