Outside Woman Enters Mansion? Reborn and Remarries the Grand Secretary with Full Bridal Rites

In her previous life, Su Qingyu's marriage remained unconsummated for three years. But when her cousin suddenly appeared before her with a child, she realized that it wasn't that the man could...

Chapter 45 Not Pregnant

Chen now hates Su Qingyu to the core. Her son is distracted all day long because of her, and she has ruined his good child again.

She was determined to seek justice for her grandson. Even if she couldn't exchange her life for his, she couldn't let Su Qingyu have an easy life.

Chen was about to say something else when she heard the old lady say in a deep voice, "Let's see what the doctor says first. I believe Qingyu is not that kind of person."

For no reason, she just believed this girl.

When Zhao Jingwu, Duke of Wei, returned from his engagement that day, he told her in detail about the Su family. Su Qingyu's words, "Master Shen died for his country, and I feel only honored to marry him," moved her deeply.

Just because of Su Qingyu's words, she was willing to believe that this girl would not do such a thing.

Su Qingyu was a little surprised. She thought the old lady would ask her to kneel down first.

After a while, Han Cui hurried in with the doctor.

The old lady saw who it was and said hurriedly, "Dr. Zhang is back from visiting his relatives? It's a good opportunity to see her."

Doctor Zhang stepped forward and saluted, then walked to the bedside carrying the medicine box and felt Cheng Ruijin's pulse with his fingers.

Mrs. Chen asked nervously, "Doctor Zhang, is the baby in your belly okay?"

Doctor Zhang was stunned for a moment, then stood up and replied, "Madam, this Concubine Cheng is not pregnant. She just has qi stagnation and blood stasis, which is why she is in so much pain. I will prescribe a prescription. She will be fine after taking it for two days."

When these words were spoken, the old lady and Chen were stunned. How could she not be pregnant?

Chen asked, "The day she came into the mansion, she asked a doctor from Yong'an Hall to examine her, and he said she was a month pregnant. How come she's not pregnant anymore when she comes to you?"

Doctor Zhang was confident that he would not make mistakes in taking the pulse. In addition, there were endless ways to win favor in the mansion, so it was not impossible that the concubine had bribed the doctor.

It was hard to say, so I could only explain, "Madam, it's possible that the doctor outside took the wrong pulse."

Su Qingyu lowered her eyes, expressionless. She had come across that prescription in her previous life, while treating Shen Zhao and browsing medical texts. It could cause a miscarriage, yet ordinary doctors couldn't detect any signs of it.

Old Madam Shen walked to the bedside and looked at Cheng Ruijin coldly, "You deliberately said you were pregnant in order to enter the Shen family? And you want to frame Qingyu. What a good plan."

Cheng Rujin was completely bewildered. Shouldn't the doctor have said the baby was miscarried? Why did he say she had never been pregnant?

Cheng Ruijin suddenly thought of a possibility, then looked at Su Qingyu and said sternly, "Did you bribe the doctor?"

She then asked Doctor Zhang, "How much did she pay you to frame me? Tell me, how much did she pay you?"

Doctor Zhang has been the court physician of the Shen family for decades, so how could he allow people to say that?

He didn't want to argue with Cheng Rujin, so he said to the old lady, "Old lady, you can see clearly. I have been in the Shen family for decades and have never done anything against my conscience."

The old lady took a deep breath and said to Doctor Zhang, "I naturally know what kind of person Doctor Zhang is."

Seeing this, Aunt Hua walked over to the bedside and said to Cheng Ruijin, "Don't talk nonsense, Aunt Cheng. Doctor Zhang is the official physician of our Shen family. It's impossible for him to be bribed by Miss Su. Besides, Miss Su would never do such a thing."

Chen stood aside and pondered for a moment, then gestured for Doctor Chen to leave. She then spoke to the old lady, "Mother, even if Concubine Cheng is not pregnant, it doesn't change the fact that Su Qingyu insulted my cousin and had other intentions."

"In my opinion, we can't let her into the Shen family. If she does, the backyard will be in chaos. If something scandalous happens between my nephew and aunt, our Su family will become the laughing stock of the entire capital."

Su Qingyu frowned. Chen's words were too harsh.

Just as she was about to speak, Han Cui walked up to the old lady and whispered, "Old lady, when Miss Cheng came in today, I was watching Miss Su embroidering in the inner room and happened to see what happened."

Han Cui is the head maidservant of the old lady. Even if Doctor Zhang is bribed, Han Cui will not be bribed.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Han Cui then recounted the entire incident, including how Cheng Ruijin came in and scolded Su Qingyu, and how Su Qingyu explained. Finally, how Cheng Ruijin bumped into the table herself, Han Cui described it all in detail.

After these words were spoken, everyone in the room understood what was going on. Cheng Rujin was here to blackmail Su Qingyu, intending to have her accused of killing the Shen family's heir.

Old Madam Shen was filled with rage. A concubine who had only been in the house for a few days had turned the house upside down.

"Come here, Madam Cheng should be locked up in the woodshed first. Her maid is full of lies. Take her away and beat her to death."

Chen Shi continued to ask, "Mother, what about Su Qingyu..."

Madam Shen looked at Chen coldly, "If you say something like that again, go to the woodshed with her."

Chen was so scared that she stopped talking immediately. The old lady usually had a good temper, but if she really angered her, she would not be able to bear it.

Su Qingyu watched Cheng Ruijin being taken away by two old women, her cold eyes filled with the pleasure of revenge.

Afterwards, the old lady took Su Qingyu to Qingyuanju for dinner, and Shen Yue also had dinner with them.

After dinner, Chen Yue and Nanny Hua sent Su Qingyu to the second gate to take the carriage.

Just as he was about to get in the car, he saw Shen Zhao coming over from a distance. Seeing Su Qingyu was about to leave, he quickened his pace.

"Sister Qingyu, can I talk to you alone for a few words?" Shen Zhao said in a flattering tone after moving closer.

Nanny Hua, who was standing aside, frowned slightly. How come the young master didn't know how to avoid suspicion?

Su Qingyu certainly wouldn't go and talk to Shen Zhao alone. She said in a cold voice, "Master Shen, just say whatever you want to say. Xiaoyue and Aunt Hua are not outsiders either."

She was deliberately giving him a reminder, implying that even if he wanted to say something, he should hold it back.

But Chen Zhao seemed to have run away from home, and he didn't care at all that Aunt Hua was beside him, and acted like he was trying to please her.

"Sister Qingyu, I was wrong before. What do you want me to do to forgive me?"

"I didn't want to marry Cheng Ruijin at all. I always wanted to marry you. I just recognized the wrong person. If you cared about Cheng Ruijin, I could send her to the farm to fend for herself."

"If you care about the child, I can ask her to have it aborted. As long as you ask, I can agree to anything."
