Chapter 1020: Chapter 820 I’ve always disliked your belly
She had known what it was to live in poverty, having experienced even harder times in Daying Village. Silently, she organized the items inside, took the pots and bowls outside to the little river to clean them thoroughly, and dusted off the dusty quilts before washing them as well.
While she was doing these things, many people from the grasslands came to watch her. Seeing the kind of treatment she received, they could not help but gossip:
“Why did the Second Prince let her live here? Wasn’t she painstakingly searched for and brought back?”
“Who told her to be so ungrateful? The Second Prince is so kind, yet she still wanted to run away. Now he’s punishing her.”
“Serves her right, look at her now, she’s living worse than we are.”
“…”
Nan Feng remained silent the whole time, pretending not to understand.
No matter what, she had to think about the child in her belly. She couldn’t let her child suffer no matter what.
After cleaning the pots and dishes, Nan Feng finally started a fire in the house. Fortunately, it was early summer now, and it was not too cold here, otherwise the drafty felt would be very cold.
There was not much to eat in the house, only some buckwheat flour, which Nan Feng cooked into noodles.
As she was cooking, someone lifted the curtain of the tent from outside, and a tall figure entered, casting a shadow in the backlight.
After entering, he glanced around Nan Feng’s room and then at what Nan Feng was cooking. He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Nan Feng, asking, “How do you find this life?”
As Nan Feng stoked the fire, she replied, “As long as I don’t starve to death, I will be forever grateful to the Second Prince.”
A flare of anger surged in Tuoba Lie’s heart. His tone then turned sinister, “I went through great lengths to find you, not for you to starve. But I don’t want to make it easy for you either.”
“I am a captive now. You may dispose of me however you wish,” Nan Feng said, then reached for a bowl.
At that moment when Nan Feng stood up, Tuoba Lie caught sight of her belly, and a surge of anger burned within him: “Why does the sight of your belly always displease me?”
Nan Feng, who had been quite defiant before, now covered her belly, looking at Tuoba Lie: “Tuoba Lie, this child is already seven months along. There are no good Abortion Techniques at this time. If you want to do something, it’d be akin to taking my life.”
“Then after you give birth, it will be the same if I kill him,” Tuoba Lie said with a sinister tone.
“The child’s death will be my death. After all the trouble you went through to find me, it wasn’t just to see my corpse, right?”
“Maybe not, I brought you back just to torment you, until you beg for mercy. Nan Feng, think about how you have treated me. You treated me that way, and you still expect me to love you?” Tuoba Lie’s big hand hooked her, and suddenly Nan Feng found herself on his lap.
Nan Feng did not struggle, but merely smiled lightly, “From the moment I agreed to come back with you, it has already been torment for me, so go ahead and torment me.”
Tuoba Lie let go of her, and Nan Feng continued to sit back in her original place. At that moment, she felt a movement in her belly. She covered her stomach and silently said in her heart: Little one, don’t be afraid, mother will definitely protect you.
Tuoba Lie chuckled again, looking at Nan Feng: “You really do care a great deal about this bastards, don’t you?”
“If I didn’t care, why would I have conceived
