Doctor Qi looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said, "The second young lady... is pregnant. She is most likely pregnant."

"What did you say!"

Shen Cangyun exclaimed, looking at Doctor Qi in disbelief, "How is this possible? Could it be that he took the wrong pulse?"

Doctor Qi said nothing more: "If you don't believe me, go find a doctor you trust to take another look. I'm just afraid I might have missed something, so I mentioned it, so that if something goes wrong, you won't blame me."

Then he said goodbye directly, "I'm leaving first."

Shen Cangyun watched him leave with mixed feelings.

Shen Jiaojiao is pregnant?

Whose?

When did it happen?

The only person he could think of was Gu Qinghua.

But, wasn't it just two days after the Zuixinlou incident? How could it be...

Could it be possible that she and Gu Qinghua had been secretly having an affair for a long time?

Thinking of this, Shen Cangyun couldn't help but feel angry. He turned around and returned to Jiaoyang Pavilion, staring at Shen Jiaojiao and asked: "Jiaojiao, when did you and Gu Qinghua sleep together?!"

Shen Jiaojiao was stunned by the question.

Why would Shen Cangyun suddenly ask this?

She has been sleeping with Gu Qinghua for at least seven or eight months.

Moreover, she had slept with more than just Gu Qinghua.

Every time she saw the Third Prince, he would vent his anger on her. There was even one time when the Third Prince had just slept with her in the morning, and in the afternoon she and Gu Qinghua...

However, these things cannot be said openly.

What I couldn't figure out was what Shen Cangyun was doubting about.

Finally, she had no choice but to pretend to be innocent, revealing a tearful look as she said shamefully, "Daddy, what do you mean by this? The last time at Zuixinlou, it was an accident, and it was only two days ago!"

Then, he said aggrievedly: "Besides, I didn't know that something like that would happen last time. Who would have thought that my second brother would drug him..."

"you--"

Shen Cangyun was choked and speechless.

The last time they drugged Shen Ruyi, it was agreed upon by them, father and son, and Gu Qinghua. However, they did not expect that Shen Ruyi would be fine. Instead, Shen Jiaojiao's innocence was ruined in public.

Although Shen Cangyun was angry that Shen Jiaojiao ran over to make trouble that day, he still felt a little guilty when he thought about this incident.

But, can you get pregnant in just two days?

Shen Cangyun stared at her, his pupils trembling.

If Doctor Qi didn't take the pulse wrong, then Shen Jiaojiao must be lying.

But Doctor Qi has been in the palace for so many years, taking the pulses of all the ladies, and he has never made any mistakes. How could he make a mistake in just a happy pulse?

But he is a father after all, and some things are hard to say directly.

In the end, he had to put the matter aside for the time being and thought about waiting until Shen Ruyi got married before deciding whether to let Shen Jiaojiao have an abortion or give birth to the child.

In short, this matter cannot be revealed for the time being.

So as to avoid any further complications.

Shen Cangyun took a deep breath, pressed his forehead and said, "It's okay. I'm looking for you for another matter. As for you marrying Gu Qinghua, it's not okay."

“Daddy——”

Shen Jiaojiao's tears immediately fell, "Brother Qinghua has already told me."

He really didn't expect that not only Shen Yu said so, Gu Qinghua said so, even Shen Cangyun came to her and said so.

Could it be that they had already discussed and decided to let Shen Ruyi marry alone and sacrifice her?

Thinking of the family recognition banquet, they had agreed not to tell Shen Ruyi. At that time, as the beneficiary, she was very proud to go to the rockery to show off to Shen Ruyi and frame her.

But she didn't expect that after just a few days, she would become the one who was abandoned and notified!

Shen Jiaojiao was really sad this time.

Seeing her like this, Shen Cangyun also felt distressed.

But there is no way, the situation has been forced to this point.

Finally, he could only comfort her, "It can't be helped. It's all your fourth brother's fault for not controlling the severity of the situation and causing trouble to the Ninth Prince."

"Right now, I have to go to the palace and explain the situation to the emperor. Nothing can happen at this critical moment. I'm sorry to have to put you in such a difficult position. But no matter what, Dad will definitely find a way to cure your stomach disease."

Then he looked at Shen Jiaojiao and said, "Jiaojiao, you have always been sensible. You should be able to understand what daddy said and understand daddy's embarrassment and distress."

Shen Jiaojiao: “…”

She's been boomeranged by herself more than once.

sensible?

She is not sensible at all, she is just pretending!

But can these words be said?

Shen Jiaojiao had no words to express her pain, so she could only cry and continue to act pitiful: "My daughter knows that daddy is distressed, but it is also my bad luck. I was left alone when I was young, and now I am so sick. I also made a mistake in Zuixinlou, and implicated daddy..."

As he said this, he lay down on the table and cried.

Everything she did in the past year was going smoothly. She was on the verge of success and had forced Shen Ruyi into a corner. How come she was able to make a comeback in the end?

In the end, she was the unlucky person?

Shen Jiaojiao couldn't figure it out and just felt so angry that her teeth were itching.

I hated the Shen family father and son and Gu Qinghua even more for suddenly changing their minds.

She really wanted to get up and ask Shen Cangyun and Gu Qinghua why they treated her like this.

But before that, she always pretended to be pitiful and generous.

It seems that this is the only trick I can use now.

Shen Jiaojiao was depressed. She sobbed, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and forced a smile. "Daddy, you should go and take care of my sister's wedding. After all, time is running out and there are still many things to do. As for my stomach problem..."

"After all, it's been too long. I've endured these past ten years, so these few days won't make a difference. Maybe this is Jiaojiao's fate. She has to suffer for the rest of her life."

As he spoke, he lowered his eyelids.

His eyes were as red as a rabbit's, and he seemed to have lost the courage to live in an instant.

It's extremely pitiful.

Shen Cangyun's heart felt like it was stabbed by a knife. The pain was indescribable. He wished he could hold her in his arms, cherish her, and give her his heart.

It even made him forget all his previous suspicions that she had slandered Shen Ruyi.

Finally, he comforted her and said, "Dad knows you are a good child, but your illness still needs to be treated. Let's do it tonight. Wait for Doctor Yan to come and try his prescription."

If Shen Jiaojiao is really his biological daughter, he should consider Shen Jiaojiao more. He can't bear to see her being wronged.

If not...

A strange thought suddenly crossed his mind, and he couldn't help but look at Shen Jiaojiao twice more.

It's been sixteen years.

Since his wife died, he has never touched a woman again...

Shen Cangyun took a deep breath and his eyes became a little obscure.

Shen Jiaojiao cursed in her heart, "Old fox" and "disgusting", but still said obediently, "Thank you, Daddy. You look very haggard, so you should go back and rest. If you really fall ill, I will not bear it."

"Well, you should have a good rest too, and stop crying. Daddy will find a way for your marriage." Shen Cangyun stood up and thought about the villa he had bought, which no one knew about yet...
