After the villain was defeated, she still had power in the government

But she didn't expect that the doctor was a quack who didn't know the recipe for the abortion drug at all. He just randomly picked up some herbs that wouldn't kill people. To avoid being discovered, he lied to Qingrong and said that his abortion drug was different from others'. Others' drugs were strong and extremely harmful to the body, while his recipe was passed down from his ancestors. It was mild and would not hurt the body, so it would take longer to take effect, so Qingrong should not be anxious.

Qing Rong believed it to be true. After taking those doses of medicine, she realized that she had been cheated. However, the doctor had already been reported to the government by the family of the deceased for killing a person and was exiled to the frontier to work as a reclaimer.

At this time, her belly was nearly eight months big, and even if she wanted to take medicine to have an abortion, she couldn't.

In desperation, Qingrong could only give birth to the child.

"Aunt Qing never intended to let the Annan Marquisate know of your existence. But I don't know who told Fu Ping'an about it, and he forcibly brought you back to the Marquisate. Later, because you were chosen as a companion by the late emperor, he used your name to keep his title and became the new Annan Marquis."

It's just shit luck.

Because of Qing Rong's relationship with Fu Yutang, Qi Shang had no good feelings towards Annan Hou. He only mentioned him briefly and then changed the subject. He looked at Fu Yutang with a faint smile on his face and said, "Aunt Qing always said that you just need to be an ordinary person happily in this life. For this reason, she even gave you a down-to-earth nickname."

"What's your nickname?" Fu Yutang asked.

Qi Shang and Yan Zhen looked at each other and said with a smile, "Xiao Hong."

Fu Yutang: "..."

After a moment of silence, he chuckled and said, "...Xiaohong, what a good name. What does it mean?"

"He said that he hopes you can live a prosperous life in the future." Qi Shang replied.

"Yes." Yan Zhen nodded and added, "Aunt Qing said red boys and green girls, and your name Xiaohong also matches your gender. People can tell you are a boy at first glance."

Fu Yutang: "..."

nonsense.

In my era, Xiaohong was basically a girl's name. She also had a partner named Xiaoming.

Fu Yutang silently complained in his heart, his face remained calm, and he said jokingly: "Don't I look like a boy? Maybe my mother wanted to have a daughter, so she dressed me in women's clothes since I was a child, but she was worried that I couldn't figure out my gender, so she named me Xiaohong to remind me?"

Hearing her words, Yan Zhen's eyes widened slightly, and she looked at her with a speechless look, "Auntie Qing has never let you wear women's clothes, but you often ask Auntie Qing to help you dress up as a girl..."

"Ah?" Fu Yutang was shocked. "I have been wearing men's clothes since I was a child?"

Doesn't that mean Qingrong has been consciously hiding her true gender since she was born?

Yan Zhen's eyes widened, looking even more shocked than her, and she exclaimed, "Do you still want to wear women's clothes?!"

Facing the astonished gazes of Yan Zhen and Qi Shang, Fu Yutang quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, how could I be that perverted? I was just asking casually."

really?

I do not believe!

After staring at her suspiciously for a long time, Yan Zhen said earnestly, "Brother Tang, I know you have always longed for women's clothing since you were a child, but those are for girls after all. As a man, you have to learn to control yourself!"

"I know." Fu Yutang nodded stiffly, paused, and then asked, "By the way, is my mother still living in the suburbs? Or has she returned to the Marquis' Mansion?"

"Uh……"

Yan Zhen and Qi Shang's faces changed slightly. They looked at each other and pushed each other for a while. Finally, Qi Shang was pushed hard by Yan Zhen and stood out.

A trace of discomfort flashed across his handsome face. He subconsciously avoided Fu Yutang's sight and whispered, "Aunt Qing...didn't return to the mansion. On the night you were chosen as a companion to visit her, she took advantage of your sleep...and hanged herself."

"what?"

Qing Rong is dead?!

Fu Yutang was so shocked by the news that he was speechless, and his mind went blank. After a while, he came back to his senses, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind at once, and finally turned into one sentence - "Did someone from the Marquis' Mansion come to see her?"
