A few months later, Pinchuan Huazi suddenly announced her pregnancy. Anpei Yutian had a doctor examine her, and upon confirmation, he was overjoyed. Now nearing forty, he had only one daughter. With Pinchuan Huazi pregnant, it perfectly suited his desires. Without hesitation, Anpei Yutian brought Pinchuan Huazi back to the main house to be well cared for, even having his legitimate wife Xiao Liya attend to her personally.
Pinchuan Huazi was very cunning, and during those months of pregnancy, she often spoke ill of Xiao Liya in Anpei Yutian's ear. Anpei Yutian already harbored some resentment towards Xiao Liya, and with Pinchuan Huazi's instigations, he, in a fit of anger, even resorted to violence against Xiao Liya. Furthermore, he stripped her of her status and dignity as his legitimate wife and sent her back to her parents' home.
