Castrate Him

Upon hearing Xie Wan's words, Sun Mei remained dazed for a long while. After a moment, she lowered her head to stare at her own belly.

Inside it was the child she had been longing for.

Xie Wan didn't continue speaking. In fact, she hadn't directly answered Sun Mei's previous question.

What would she do if she were in Sun Mei's situation?

If she were Sun Mei, if she had grown up in the Duke of Wu'an's residence, and if she had fallen into the same predicament as Sun Mei, what would she do upon learning that she was carrying the Duke's child?

She would castrate Chen Cen.

After all, hadn't he married Sun Rong? She could use Sun Rong to gradually emasculate Chen Cen, depriving him of his ability to father children. This way, regardless of whether she gave birth to a boy or a girl, they would be the only heir of the Duke's residence of Ying. If it was a boy, that would be ideal, and even if it was a girl, she could still marry her off to a suitable husband.
