Chapter 177 Taking the bait
"Sir, you are here."
Soon, Xu Mengying came into the hall and saluted the handsome man.
"Yeah," Chen Yaoxing put down the teacup in his hand and his eyes fell on Xu Mengying's lower abdomen.
"You've been with that Lu for quite some time now. Have you seen a doctor?"
The man's low voice came, and Xu Mengying was stunned by his words.
See a doctor?
Xu Mengying was a little confused.
Isn't she sick?
After thinking for a moment, a light bulb went off in her head, and she suddenly realized what was happening. A faint blush spread across her pretty face. "My Lord, are you saying that I'm pregnant?"
Chen Yaoxing rolled his eyes impatiently: "You ask me? Shouldn't you see a doctor?"
Xu Mengying blinked, and this time, she reacted quickly.
"Yes, I understand. I will ask someone to call the doctor right away."
This house is on the street and there are several clinics nearby, so it is very convenient to ask a doctor for a visit.
Xu Mengying found her personal maid, lied that she was not feeling well, and asked the maid to call a doctor.
After a cup of tea, the doctor came with a medicine box.
Through the handkerchief, the doctor placed his fingers on Xu Mengying's wrist, and his expression became particularly interesting.
Looking at the doctor's face, Xu Mengying suddenly felt a little panicked.
Why does this doctor look so strange?
Could it be that she has some serious illness?
Xu Mengying pursed her lips, suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, and asked nervously, "Doctor Zhang, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong with my body?"
Hearing her voice, the doctor came back to his senses, pinched his beard and shook his head.
"No, young lady, this is your pregnancy pulse. It's almost the 20th day."
"Really? I'm really pregnant?"
Xu Mengying opened her eyes wide, first in disbelief, then in delight.
The doctor was a little confused by her reaction. This little girl was obviously unmarried, so why was she so excited when she learned that she was pregnant?
When is it ever something worth being happy about when you get pregnant before getting married?
Aren’t you afraid that you will be despised by the world after it gets out?
Thinking about what he saw and heard when he came in, the doctor understood a little.
The house is so luxurious, but the little girl lives in the main courtyard, which means that she has no parents living with her.
In this situation, it is very obvious that this little girl must be the concubine kept by that nobleman.
No wonder she was so happy when she found out she was pregnant.
If you are pregnant and give birth to a big fat boy, won’t you become famous because of the child?
After seeing the doctor off, Xu Mengying happily went to find Chen Yaoxing. The cold wind rustled on the way, making her mind clearer than ever before.
She realized belatedly that the doctor had looked at her strangely before, probably because she was pregnant before marriage.
Who knows, the doctor might be spitting on her right now.
Xu Mengying curled her lips and put the matter behind her indifferently.
"Sir~"
In the hall, Xu Mengying looked at the man sitting in the seat with joy on her face.
Although she didn't know the man's true identity, she knew that his current appearance was a disguise.
He bribed her with a false identity and set up a trap for Lu Jinghuai in secret.
She and he each got what they needed and worked together very happily.
"how?"
Chen Yaoxing looked up at her, a hint of arrogance in his dark eyes.
Xu Mengying smiled slightly and whispered, "Your Excellency is truly amazing. The doctor said that I am almost twenty days pregnant."
She is pregnant indeed!
That system is really powerful. It can even know things like this.
Fortunately, the Shen family has a younger sister, otherwise, they would be defeated by such a powerful and magical thing.
Chen Yaoxing withdrew his thoughts, looked at the girl in front of him calmly, and said, "Next, do you know what to do?"
"Don't worry, sir. I know what I am doing, and I will definitely not let you down."
"Um."

"Hey, little beauty, are you alone? Would you like to play with us?"
"Hehehe, I'm really lucky today. In all my life, this is the first time I've seen such a beautiful girl~"
“…”
In a quiet alley, several dirty and smelly beggars surrounded a pretty girl and teased her.
The girl was very scared and her body was shaking like a sieve, but she still tried to appear calm.
"Get away, stay away from me, do you know who I am?"
"Oh, the little beauty has quite a temper. I like it."
"Tsk, isn't she just a little maid? Do you really think you're such a big shot?"
"Exactly. Look at the tone. If you didn't know, you'd think she was some rich man's daughter."
"Hahaha……"
The girl's words caused the beggars to burst into laughter.
After laughing, they surrounded the girl and started touching her, causing her to scream for help.
At this moment, a tall figure passed by.
The girl's eyes lit up slightly, she kicked a beggar away, ran towards him, grabbed his sleeve and asked for help.
"Sir, please save me. I am..."
The voice stopped abruptly, and the girl looked at the man in front of her with surprise. After a moment, her throat moved slightly and she said, "Young Marquis?"
Suddenly, a refreshing fragrance rushed into his nose. Lu Jinghuai's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help but sniffed greedily.
"Miss Su."
He spoke softly, looking down at the girl in front of him.
The girl was wearing a maid's clothes, but her face was clearly that of Su Haitang, the daughter of the Grand Marshal's Mansion, whom he had seen countless times.
But why would she come here alone dressed as a maid?
A hint of suspicion flashed across Lu Jinghuai's eyes.
"What a coincidence."
Su Haitang breathed a sigh of relief visibly, and soon a smile appeared on his face.
"Young Marquis, last time I fell into the water, thanks to you for saving me. I haven't had the chance to thank you yet."
"It's just a small favor, Miss Su, you don't have to be polite."
Lu Jinghuai looked up and his eyes fell on a few beggars not far away. When they noticed his gaze, they couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"Miss Su, are you in trouble?"
Su Haitang shrugged and said, "As the young marquis can see, I've been entangled by these ignorant creatures. I'm afraid I still need your help to rescue me."
"No problem."
The Duke's Mansion.
Chen Wan is eating melons online.
[Oh my, Lu Jinghuai is about to take the bait.]
He certainly didn't know that today's heroic act of standing up for the weak and saving the beautiful woman wasn't a coincidence at all, but a play Su Haitang had staged specifically for him.
Su Haitang monitored him from all angles. When he left his lover's place, she waited in ambush on the road he had to take to get home, and paid a few beggars to wait for him.
[When he passes by, the show begins.]
After this incident, Su Haitang brought up the fact that he saved her life when she fell into the water last time. Over and over again, she'll have countless excuses to get close to Lu Jinghuai these days.
[Routine, it's all routine. ]
Madam Shen and Shen Qingyi did not take these thoughts to heart.
As usual, the mother and daughter, one embroidering and the other eating melon seeds.
Anyway, the two brothers Chen Mu and Chen Yaoxing all knew about Su Haitang's mission, and they would definitely not sit idly by, so there was no need for them to worry about it.
After eating the melon, Chen Wan released her mental energy to watch some melodramatic or interesting things happening in the nearby alleys.
In fact, she had no intention of entering any house to spy on others.
[I'm going to check out the origins of that little guy from yesterday.]
【By the way, let's see if he was bullied today.】
After calming down, Chen Wan couldn't sit still again and released her mental power again.
She searched very carefully within a radius of ten miles, even checking dog holes, but she did not find the little guy who was bullied by many naughty children yesterday.
Her two beautiful eyebrows were furrowed together, and Shen Wan bit her fingers, feeling doubtful.
[Strange, where did that little guy go? Why can't I find him?]
[I guess he's gone. Forget it, I won't look for him anymore. Meeting him yesterday was fate, and not being able to find him today is just not fate. I'll just let nature take its course.]
At nightfall, Chen Yaoxing came back, holding a dirty little kid in his hand. The kid was not even as tall as his legs.
When she saw this scene, Shen Wan was stunned.
Isn’t this the little guy she has been looking for all afternoon?
How did it end up in the second brother’s hands?
[Why did my second brother bring this little guy back? ]
What on earth is going on?
The little milk bag blinked his big eyes and looked at the little guy in Chen Yaoxing's arms.
“Uh, Chen Yaoxing, where did you find this little guy?”
Shen Qingyi naturally knew this little guy as Little Milk Bag had mentioned him before.
It said that the little guy was being bullied at the entrance of the alley.
"Oh, it's our brother."
Shen Yaoxing replied casually.
"..." Shen Qingyi almost rolled her eyes. Look at what you said, isn't it outrageous? When did I get such a brother?
