Young Mrs. Osborne, Anna Ainsworth, had been married to Connor Osborne for five years and had never been pregnant. She was rumored to be a "chicken that can't lay eggs." Even when she posted her divorce certificate, people said it was because Mrs. Osborne despised her for not having children.
Thus, even though she later declared that she did not want the Osborne family inheritance, while everyone superficially said she was not greedy, they couldn't help but gossip behind her back, always feeling it was related to her inability to bear children—probably too ashamed to take the property, let alone stay in the Osborne family.
However, young Mrs. Osborne had not gotten pregnant within the five years of marriage to Connor Osborne, but four months after their divorce and after giving up the inheritance of Old Madam Osborne, she became pregnant!
