Scum Man Cannot Redeem Himself - chapter 107

In the West Hall.

 The child’s cry made Shuangshuang frown. She covered her ears in disgust. The maid who was serving outside wanted to enter the room to look at the child but was afraid of being scolded. Everytime she went in to coax the child, her master would send her out.

It had been so long since the child had been breastfed. The child was crying so hard. He must be hungry.

Li Shuangshuang was upset by the crying. She also got the news that Chen Jili took Ning Qing back to Sucheng. She was anxious and looked at the child who had been crying all the time. There was hatred in her eyes.

If it weren’t for this child, Chen Jili would never disdain her.

“Cry and cry, you only know how to cry. You’re not dead yet, but fortunate to cry. Why don’t you go find your dead ghost dad? Why did you have to come into this world? My life was bitter enough, why did you come to embarrass me?” Li Shuangshuang shouted. She blamed everything on this child. If he didn’t exist, how would Chen Jili neglect her? She got up and walked to the side bed, lifted the quilt up, and the child’s crying gradually diminished.

Hearing the movement inside, the maid said tremblingly, “The young master should be hungry. I will serve him, you can rest.”

The maid always waited out daily. She was afraid that her master didn’t want to let the child live. At first, she didn’t breastfeed him. She said that when the child touched it, it hurt. The child had to drink the wet nurse’s milk, but after two days, she said that she disliked the wet nurse. The wet nurse wasn’t good for the child and her milk wasn’t good. It was better to let him drink goat milk, and she asked someone to get goat milk.

But after the goat milk was brought, the master refused to let her feed him. She had to feed him by herself. Every time the master fed the child, they weren’t allowed to stand by her sides. Two times, she secretly saw that she did feed the child two drops and drank the rest. But this kind of thing was just her guess and she didn’t dare to talk nonsense. After all, there was no mother who didn’t care about her children.

However, it was difficult to feed an infant. And if he couldn’t keep up with the food, he wouldn’t grow up. Whenever she saw the skinny baby, the maid got uncomfortable.

The maid came to wait at the West hall after the child was born. The little girl who had been serving with her secretly told her that the master didn’t want the child to come into this world because she accidentally saw the master doing strenuous waist exercises and hitting her belly. At first, she thought the master did so to keep her waist slim. Later she couldn’t hide her pregnancy. The doctor came and told them that the master had a happy pulse. The little maid suddenly realized that she wanted to abort her child.

They dared not talk about this since it was all their speculation.

 Li Shuangshuang said, “Go get hot goat milk and get it after warming it up.”

The old maid went out to get hot milk. After taking two steps, the little maid came up from behind with a little panic on her face, “Aunt, the child didn’t eat anything, nor did I see the master hugging him. Why did he stop crying?”

The little girl thought that the young master was uncomfortable and crying, either he was hungry or cold. He could be sick. But he stopped crying all of a sudden. Did the master do something to the child?

The old maid had long suspected it. She had just vaguely seen the master pulling the child’s quilt through the curtain, could it be …

She was flabbergasted and quickly asked the little girl to call the young master over.

As soon as Chen Jili returned to the house, he met the maid of the West hall. The little maid looked panicked and said that he had to go and see the child quickly. Chen Jili didn’t know what had happened, and his pace accelerated.

Li Shuangshuang was lying on the bed, looking at the direction of the cradle. She was hoping for the time to pass soon. So she didn’t know when Chen Jili entered the house.

When Chen Jili lifted the curtain, Li Shuangshuang was shocked, and quickly got up.

Thinking of the little maid’s word, Chen Jili walked quickly to the cradle and saw that only the child’s hair was exposed. His mouth, nose and eyes were covered by the quilt. He quickly lifted the quilt and saw the child’s face had turned purple.

At the moment he removed the quilt, the child cried with his mouth wide open.

Chen Jili looked at Li Shuangshuang and saw her panic, with a hint of dodge in her eyes. He recalled the night she gave birth to the baby. The midwife accidentally said that she had never seen a mother who had such a little strength. The child was so small, the fetal position was correct. How could it be so hard to deliver the baby?

In the moment when Chen Jili was distracted, the calm Li Shuangshuang asked softly, “What’s wrong?”

Chen Jili looked at her, remembering what his second brother and Ning Qing had said before. It raised some doubts about her.

Her beautiful face filled with a grieving expression, “I was sleeping. Why did you make him cry as soon as you came?”

“The quilt covered the child’s face,” Chen Jili said lightly.

Li Shuangshuang was taken aback. She hurriedly picked up the child from the cradle and patted the child in her arms. The distressed look didn’t appear fake.

She looked like a qualified mother.

At this time, the goat milk was brought by the old maid. Li Shuangshuang took the goat’s milk and fed the spoonful carefully.

Chen Jili looked at this picture, making him have to doubt the authenticity of the scene he had just seen. The maid must have heard something before she came to him.

Li Shuangshuang lowered her head. The scene was so thrilling, but this situation was well resolved. She looked at the child drinking the goat’s milk in her arms. 

Why did he not come a bit later? How did he know about the child? Why did he come straight to the child? Li Shuangshuang raised her eyes and looked at the two maids.
