The next day, Huang Haichuan and his men did indeed make a move against Mingyue, and it was Qian Peilan who personally carried it out. However, someone then told Bai Nuo that news had come out that Mingyue was pregnant.
Peony rushed in from outside, excitedly telling Bai Nuo the news she had found out. "Your Highness, it really is just as you thought!"
Bai Nuo was pruning the plants she was planting with scissors in her hand. Hearing this, she didn't stop, but asked, "Is Mingyue really pregnant?"
"Yes, I heard it's been more than three months, but Mingyue kept quiet because Madam Zheng was still around. Now that Madam Zheng is gone, and the old lady is going to kick her out, she finally spoke up, saying that if the old lady dares to kick her out, she'll abort the child and make the master's line end."
Bai Nuo sighed, "This Mingyue is quite tolerant and clever!" No wonder she could have Huang Haichuan completely under her thumb, and even used Huang Haichuan to beat up Zheng Pei. Not only did Zheng Pei go back to her parents' home and never come back, but she also wanted a divorce.
Although Zheng Pei and Huang Haichuan's relationship was not good, this bright moon was definitely the last straw that broke Zheng Pei's back.
Considering that Mingyue has only been in this household for a short time, she is very beautiful, but the things she has done have caused unrest in the family. Such a woman is never liked by others.
“But don’t you find it strange, Your Highness!” Peony stood beside Bai Nuo, full of doubt. “Didn’t the Second Master only bring Mingyue back a month ago? How come she’s three months pregnant? Could it be that the child isn’t the Second Master’s?”
"Who knows?" Bai Nuo smiled at her. "What did the Second Master say? Did he admit that the child in Mingyue's belly was his? What was his reaction after he found out Mingyue was pregnant?"
"Your Highness, why are you asking the same question as the Old Madam?" Peony muttered. "I heard from Mingyue's maid that the Old Madam asked the same question to the Master, but the Master's reaction was quite strange."
"What's so strange about it?"
“Master seemed very happy. He told the old lady that the child was his, and he wouldn’t let the old lady drive Mingyue away. He even wanted to promote Mingyue from a maid to a concubine,” said Peony. “But the strange thing is that Mingyue has only been back for a short time, so how come she is already three months pregnant? And Master even said that the child is his.”
“Perhaps they’re already together outside?” Bai Nuo laughed. “Since the Second Master has admitted it, then the child in Mingyue’s belly must be his.”
After thinking about it, Peony understood. Judging from Huang Haichuan's behavior, he had probably hooked up with Mingyue a long time ago, but only brought her back later. So, Mingyue was already pregnant when she returned to the manor.
"That second master is such a scoundrel!" Peony said indignantly. "He still wants to be with Madam Zheng? Madam Zheng definitely won't want to be with him!"
Even if Madam Zheng wanted to come back, she wouldn't let her! Bai Nuo thought, if she didn't push them, how would they ask the people in the shadows for help, and how would they know who had been making a fool of them all along?
Huang Wenbo wants a good life? Impossible.
"Did you inform Master Zheng Lin?"
Peony nodded, smiling broadly, brimming with a sense of accomplishment. She was more than happy to punish such a scumbag. Huang Haichuan was such a jerk; Madam Zheng absolutely mustn't stay with him anymore, or she'd be the one who suffers. Seeing that her princess seemed to be getting along better and better with Madam Zheng and Huang Ziyao, Peony became especially enthusiastic, "The notification has been given. Not only does Master Zheng Lin know, but everyone outside knows."
"Very good!" Bai Nuo placed the cut flowers in Shaoyao's hand. "Take them back and put them away!"
"My lord, it's all my fault. I didn't even know I was pregnant, which caused you and Madam to drift apart." In Huang Haichuan's courtyard, Mingyue was kneeling at Huang Haichuan's feet, crying with tears streaming down her face. "I've thought about it, and I realize that I acted impulsively that day. I'd better ask to leave. Please tell Madam not to be angry anymore. It's all my fault, no matter what."
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Huang Haichuan frowned and pulled Mingyue up, lifting her chin. Seeing her crying with tears streaming down her face, he felt even more reluctant to let her go. "You don't need to worry about these things. Just focus on your pregnancy and give me a son!" Huang Yikang was no longer viable, and Huang Yi'an had already been adopted out, so he was no longer considered a son. Therefore, Huang Haichuan had high hopes for this pregnancy.
Huang Haichuan got up and walked out, but Mingyue quickly grabbed him, asking, "Where are you going?"
Huang Haichuan said, "Go and bring that woman back!"

"Little sister, what are you thinking?" In Zheng Pei's room before she got married, Zheng Lin looked at Zheng Pei lying on the bed recovering from her injuries and said with exasperation, "This is the second time he's beaten you, isn't it? When did you become like this?" Before his sister got married, she was more likely to not beat others than be beaten herself. "Now everyone in the capital is saying that Huang Haichuan's concubine has a son and he doesn't want you anymore. When are you going to divorce him?"
“He was right yesterday!” Zheng Pei looked at the roof and said quietly, “If I divorce him, it will affect Ziyao’s ability to talk about other people!” Huang Ziyao is not young anymore. It’s not good for her to talk about other people if she has a divorced mother. Even if she does talk about other people, they won’t be good families. She will be looked down upon if she marries into one.
