Her true identity was that of the real daughter of the Jiang residence, who had been swapped at birth. Everyone said her good fortune had finally arrived; she had a powerful and influential father,...
Chapter 108: A mother's status as a royal family depends on her son's status? Dream on!
Seeing Chu Hean's gloomy and terrifying face, Guo Jingyu knew that she might have done something wrong.
But what could she do? She was scared to death at that time.
And her belly was getting bigger day by day, so she had to settle this matter.
This is Chu Hean's first child, and she said she would keep it no matter what.
"Your Highness, will you marry me? Although my father is not of high rank, he is willing to serve you wholeheartedly and will never betray you."
Guo Jingyu begged desperately, but her father was only of the fifth rank, and Chu Hean really looked down upon this little bit of service.
On the contrary, she became Chu Hean's woman, and the Guo family rose to prominence and gained all the advantages.
This wishful thinking actually came back to haunt him.
"Your Majesty?"
Guo Jingyu looked at Chu Hean's expression carefully, feeling uneasy.
"I am currently busy with the refugees outside the city. Everything else will be dealt with once the situation outside the city is settled."
"But, my lord, the child is growing up day by day, and soon we won't be able to hide it anymore."
"You're hiding it now?"
There was a hint of displeasure in Chu Hean's low voice.
Guo Jingyu bit her lip in grievance, her face pitiful, and she knelt down to plead: "Your Highness, my mother won't say anything nonsense."
Chu Hean lifted her chin, gradually tightening his grip.
"Jingyu, I always thought you were the most obedient, so I let you get pregnant. But now is the time for me to make achievements. If you make me unhappy at this time, do you, the Guo family, want to die?"
When she said the last word, Guo Jingyu even felt that Chu Hean was going to crush her jawbone.
She was terrified.
When she was making love with Chu Hean before, Chu Hean always coaxed her, making her forget that the man in front of her was a high and mighty prince.
She was not qualified to negotiate terms with Chu Hean.
She trembled all over, her face turned pale in an instant, and her mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Chu Hean suddenly thought of Jiang Wanyin.
That day, he lifted Jiang Wanyin's chin in the same way, but she dared to push his movements away and spoke softly but with strength.
With the comparison, Chu Hean admired his sickly fiancée for the first time.
This is the woman who is worthy of him, the young lady from a noble family who can be the seventh princess.
Looking at Guo Jingyu again, he looked like a loser.
She wants to marry into the palace?
Chu Hean withdrew his hand in disgust, "Go back. I don't need to teach you what to say and what not to say, do I?"
After saying this, Chu Hean strode away.
Guo Jingyu fell to the ground, his mind a mess.
When she returned home, Liu, who had been waiting at the door, happily pulled her over.
"How is it? What did the prince say? When will you come to the mansion to propose marriage?"
Guo Jingyu was annoyed and pushed Liu away.
Liu lost her balance and almost fell to the ground.
After all, she was his own mother, so Guo Jingyu still gave her a helping hand.
It was at this moment that she saw the new cinnamon-red dress that Liu was wearing.
Over the years, Liu had never dared to compete, keeping a low profile, hoping that the mistress would forget about her. She had never dared to wear such eye-catching clothes.
But today, she not only wore bright new clothes, but also wore a lot of jewelry.
Guo Jingyu's heart tightened, "Why are you dressed like this?"
Liu adjusted the red hairpin in her hair and said, "My daughter is going to be a princess, and Madam asked me to learn how to dress up so that others won't look down on you."
Guo Jingyu just felt dizzy.
"How could you tell your mother this?"
Liu shook her head. "I didn't tell Madam. I only told Master, and it was Master who told Madam."
Guo Jingyu's body was shaking.
It’s broken, it’s broken!
She pushed Liu away and stumbled forward, scaring Liu so much that she kept chasing after her, telling her to be careful with the baby in her belly.
Guo Jingyu turned around and slapped Liu in the face.
"You're going to kill me!"
Liu didn't understand what was going on. She just covered her face and looked at her daughter in disbelief.
"You damned little girl, you hit me? I'm your biological mother!"
She didn't understand, wasn't this a good thing?
How could he kill his own daughter?
After Guo Jingyu stayed in her father Guo Chengan's study for a while, Mrs. Guo, Wu, was also called over.
The only one missing was Liu, his biological mother.
More than half an hour later, Guo Jingyu came out crying.
Liu wanted to step forward, but was pushed away by Guo Jingyu with a cold face.
Helplessly, she could only walk carefully to the door of the study.
"Master, how do you think this matter should be arranged?"
"It's not up to us to decide. It all depends on the Seventh Prince's opinion."
Mrs. Wu had already noticed the piece of clothing at the door and sneered in her heart, but she still maintained the composure and generosity of a mistress on her face.
"Jingyu is the same. She's kept it a secret until now. When she can't hide it anymore, and the Seventh Prince doesn't send any letters, won't she be at a disadvantage?"
Guo Chengan sighed repeatedly, but could not come up with any ideas.
The fact that he couldn't get promoted was partly due to his personality.
If it weren't for the support of Wu's family, he probably wouldn't even be able to become a fifth-rank official.
"The position of the Seventh Princess belongs to the Jiang family's legitimate daughter. This is a marriage granted by His Majesty. Jingyu will only be a concubine if she marries. If she's lucky enough to give birth to a firstborn son, she'll at most be promoted to a concubine."
"Master, you should go to the Seventh Prince's Mansion more often these days. Let's not talk about anything else, just build a good relationship with the Seventh Prince first."
Guo Chengan is such a fool that he just listens to whatever Wu says.
With Chu Hean's personality, he would only feel that the Guo family was threatening him.
Her daughter had a miscarriage at night because of a bowl of soup.
Don't think she doesn't know that the soup should have belonged to Guo Jingyu.
Guo Jingyu kept it a secret so well that no one in the mansion knew she was pregnant. But I heard that she had been going to the Seventh Prince's Mansion frequently these days, so I guess Chu Hean knew about it.
The person who drugged the victim slipped and drowned in a well last night. The murder was to silence the witness, which was so similar to the shameful methods used in the palace.
Who was Chu Hean? How could he be interested in the child of a fifth-rank official's concubine's daughter?
The person who gave Guo Jingyu the abortion drug might be Chu Hean.
The corners of Wu's lips curled up into a sneer again.
Her daughter lost her child because of this, so she would not let Guo Jingyu keep the child.
Want to climb into the royal family by relying on your son?
dream.
These words successfully ignited hope in Guo Chengan and Liu outside the door.
Jingyu's belly is almost three months old and the fetus is stable. There is no other female master in the Seventh Prince's Mansion. This child will be the eldest son or daughter when he is born.
Although Jiang Wanyin is the seventh princess chosen by the royal family, she is a sickly person. If she can't survive, won't the position of the seventh princess become Jingyu's?
Thinking of this, Liu could no longer hide it, so she ran into the study, knelt in front of the two of them and said some nice words.
Guo Cheng'an had to look at Wu's expression and wait for her to make a decision.
Mrs. Wu drank a sip of tea calmly.
"I've already told Jingyu to wait until the Seventh Prince has settled the refugee issue before we discuss it. During this time, she should just stay in the mansion and not go out. Otherwise, if someone sees her, she won't be able to explain herself."
Is this what you agreed to?
Liu thanked him profusely and left happily.
Wu said a few more words to Guo Chengan before leaving.
The maid supported her, looking a little angry.
"Madam, are you really going to marry the Third Miss to the Seventh Prince's Mansion?"
Wu paused.
"Marrying into the Seventh Prince's Mansion? Is that the fate of that little slut?"
