Gentle Captivity

The Chamber Maid with the Young Lord's Child

I'm Zhu, a chamber maid in the Marquis Mansion so lowly that even the rough servants can step on me. That night, I brought hangover soup to the drunk Young Lord, who pulled me into his arms—he mistook me for Shen Zhaozhao, the most talented lady in the capital. I washed my body three times with cold water afterward, but my period was a whole month late. When the doctor felt my pulse, he almost knelt down: “Miss, you're pregnant!” That night, Madam Hou's mammy blocked my door with a bowl of dark medicine, saying, “You lowly thing dare to carry the Lord's child? Drink this and go to the village to die!” Just as I was being forced to drink, the Young Lord kicked the door open, grabbed my wrist, and pulled me behind him, saying coldly, “I want this child.” But he turned around and threw me a 500-tael bank note: “When the child is born, it belongs to the Marquis Mansion—you're not allowed near it.” Huddled in the straw pile of the woodshed with my belly, listening to the wind outside, I suddenly realized—every breath in this mansion costs a life. How can I keep my child?
