Feng Qingxue seldom went out, unable to proclaim her status to the world as Wang Jiao had suggested. Wang Jiao, however, never missed an opportunity to speak.
First, she announced her pregnancy to both her family and her husband's, and then she played up her fatigue, complaining of dizziness, nausea, weakness, and seeing stars. With that, she comfortably took to her bed, only rising to eat or relieve herself and ignoring anyone who tried to rouse her.
Zhang Yuejin's parents, used to their son's complete indulgence of Wang Jiao, dared not complain. Once they finished their farm work, they had to prepare her meals.
