"My native tongue is speechless. How can anyone still trust men, these creatures!"
"Fated One, sister, he knows you're ambitious. He just wants to trap you with a child, to make you willingly become a full-time stay-at-home mother, assisting him and raising his children."
"The comment above is right. Does his family have a throne? Does he have to have a child to inherit it? The Fated One still underestimated things."
Now that the child was born, the Fated One's hands and feet could be said to be completely tied. After all, considering the situation in her country, for a married and pregnant mother, the discrimination within companies was enough to drown a person.
"Master, you... please just speak directly. I... I can handle it."
The Fated One naturally saw the netizens' comments, and her face turned a little pale.
If it were before, she might have argued back, but now, she wouldn't at all, because the actions of her husband and mother-in-law had already starkly revealed this intention.
So, what she needed to do was not refute the netizens, but listen to Yaoyao for the answer.
"Mm." Yaoyao nodded upon hearing this, then her gaze swept across the Fated One's face, meticulously calculating.
The Fated One's Career Palace showed two periods of turbulence. The first period was smooth and straightforward.
This indicated that during that time, her career was smooth sailing, which aligned with her previous statement about being a career woman.
The turning point occurred precisely after marriage. Her career faced an obstruction, with two tigers, one large and one small, blocking her path. The large one entered the primary position of her Marriage Palace, while the small one entered her Children's Palace.
It was obvious that her career had indeed been severed because of her marriage and childbirth.
However, logically speaking, such a career woman should not have returned to the family without any warning.
Especially since her husband treated her so poorly, she actually didn't retaliate, but instead fell into self-doubt.
Yaoyao felt a touch of confusion and subconsciously deduced the nature of these two blocking tigers, one large and one small. Then, her brows shot up.
"Auntie, before you met your husband through a blind date, did you go to the hospital to see a doctor?"
The Fated One hadn't expected Yaoyao to suddenly ask this. She paused, then slowly nodded and said, "Yes, I did. My body wasn't feeling well during that period, so I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said I had many cysts in my uterus."
"She said that medication wasn't very effective for this condition, and the best way was for a man and woman to engage in sexual intercourse to balance the estrogen in my body."
"Otherwise, over a long time, there was a risk of hyperplasia and cancerous changes."
This was also why the Fated One wanted to get married; her thinking was more traditional, and she didn't like to engage in intimate relationships before marriage.
To prevent her body from having issues, she, for the first time ever, agreed to go on a blind date.
Yaoyao being able to calculate this far naturally pleased her; it meant Yaoyao's skill level was very high.
But, what did this have to do with whether she returned to the workplace?
"You want to ask what the connection is between the two, don't you?" Yaoyao saw the latter's confused gaze and said with a smile.
Seeing that she had been discovered, the Fated One's face flushed slightly, then she gently nodded.
Yaoyao sighed when she saw how oblivious the Fated One seemed. "Didn't you ever suspect why, despite being perfectly healthy before and having no issues even with continuous overtime, your hormones became unbalanced?"
"That's because someone put hormones in your office's self-serve water dispenser, deliberately causing your body to show symptoms."
The subsequent events naturally unfolded. The Fated One, fearing her condition would worsen, had no choice but to go on a blind date and get married.
That blind date candidate was arranged by the other party. To be safe, they even found a man who clearly couldn't shake off the need to carry on the family line.
Therefore, once the Fated One married, she absolutely couldn't avoid having children, and with children, it would be impossible for her to balance work.
This logical closed loop had undoubtedly completely manipulated the Fated One.
Upon hearing this, the Fated One was completely stunned. Her eyes were filled with disbelief. "You... you mean, everything about my husband and me... was all arranged by someone?"
"How is that possible!"
The Fated One's inner world was collapsing, but this was only her verbal disbelief; deep down, she subconsciously accepted it.
Because she knew Yaoyao had no reason to deceive her. But who could it be that would go to such great lengths to scheme against her?
What exactly was the purpose of all this? She was about to ask Yaoyao.
However, the next moment, she suddenly froze, as a face involuntarily flashed through her mind.
"It's her! She wants my position, Master, isn't that right?!" The Fated One's eyes widened as if struck by lightning.
Seeing this, Yaoyao finally smiled. "It seems Auntie's mind is still clear. Whoever is the biggest beneficiary in your former team now, that's who it is!"
This incisive remark instantly drained all color from the Fated One's face.
She couldn't help but tremble. When she first learned that her former subordinate had taken her position, while she felt hurt by being replaced, she also felt happy for the other person.
But who would have thought that all of this was her doing, that she had been manipulated in the palm of someone's hand from beginning to end?
How pathetic and laughable this was!
Yaoyao sighed when she saw the Fated One's emotional collapse.
This couldn't be blamed on her. After all, who could have imagined that a former subordinate's heart could be so dark?
"Auntie, don't be too upset yet. It's not impossible for you to return!"
Yaoyao carefully looked at the Fated One's Career Palace. The Fated One's biggest problem wasn't a lack of ability.
On the contrary, given a chance, she would definitely make a comeback. The real problem lay with that large tiger blocking her path.
The Fated One instantly snapped back to reality when she heard there was a chance to return. "How do I do it, Master, please tell me quickly!"
She hadn't expected that even in her current state, she still had a chance. No matter what great difficulty, she would do it.
Yaoyao said, "Don't worry yet. It's actually very simple to resolve. Go to your husband's study right now, and find the false bottom of the second drawer on the left."
"Then, destroy what's inside, and everything will be fine."
"That's it?" The Fated One was somewhat dumbfounded.
She had expected Yaoyao's request to be very difficult and had already prepared herself mentally. Who knew that she just needed to find something and destroy it? It felt a little surreal.
However, she didn't argue, because Yaoyao's previous performance had earned her unconditional trust.
So, without a second thought, the Fated One took her child and went to her husband's study.
She often went to the study, so she was very familiar with the drawers and compartments.
As it was inconvenient to hold the child, the Fated One turned and placed the child in the rocking chair in the corner.
Then, she opened the false bottom and pulled out a doll from within. The doll was a bit worn, and the material wasn't very good, feeling somewhat rough to the touch.
A yellow talisman was stuck to the back of the doll's head.
The Fated One's attention, however, wasn't on this, but on the red paper stuck to the doll's body.
She saw written on it— "Yihai Year, 10th day of the 1st lunar month, Haishi Sanke"
This was actually a Birth Date Scroll, and after reading the date and time, the Fated One's pupils suddenly constricted.
Because the birth date on the red paper was not someone else's; it was precisely hers.
With her own birth date placed together with these items, the Fated One, no matter how foolish she might consider herself, knew this was not a good thing.
