"What did you say? You're pregnant?" Fucha Mingyue couldn't believe her ears. How could she be pregnant, especially before her, the main wife of the household?
"I am not sure, please ask the physician to take my pulse," Su Lufu said with a happy smile.
Seeing Su Lufu's smile, Fucha Mingyu felt a fire burning in her heart. She felt that Su Lufu was showing off to her, but she couldn't get angry. Her hands clenched into fists.
After a while, Fucha Mingyu calmed down a bit and said, "Let the doctor in the manor take a look at you. Zixun, go and fetch a doctor quickly."
For a moment, the three women sat silently, none of them speaking. The only sound in the room was the ticking of the second hand on the quartz clock. Each of them was in turmoil.
Madam Su naturally hoped that she was indeed pregnant, so that she would truly have someone to rely on in the future. Madam Gao also hoped that Madam Su was indeed pregnant, because she and Madam Su had truly supported each other. If Madam Su recovered, she wouldn't be far behind. However, Fucha Mingyu naturally did not want Madam Su to be pregnant so soon.
Fucha Mingyu silently prayed in her heart: God help me, it's impossible for Su Shi to have a child so soon. The Prince only visits her a few times a month.
However, when it comes to pregnancy, some people have many sexual encounters but still don't get pregnant, like herself, while others get pregnant after only one or two encounters.
The doctor arrived quickly. His surname was Wen, and he was a highly skilled physician.
After examining Su Gege's pulse for a long time, switching hands between the two, Doctor Wen finally said to Fucha Mingyu, "Madam, judging from Su Gege's pulse, we cannot be completely certain yet. It may be that the pregnancy is too early. Let's wait a while before checking again."
Fucha Mingyu nodded and dismissed Doctor Wen.
She turned to Su Lufu and said, "You heard what the doctor said. It's still uncertain, so we can't make this public yet. We won't tell Prince Bei for now. Go back and rest, and take good care of your health."
"This concubine takes her leave," Gao Xiyue said, bowing to Su Lufu.
After Su and Gao left, Fucha Mingyu sat there blankly for a long time.
Seeing Fucha Mingyu's reaction, Zi Xun knew that she had begun to be wary of Madam Su. If Madam Su were to have the Prince's first child, her status would be extraordinary.
She went over and advised, "Princess Consort, there's no need to worry. Didn't the doctor say that it's still uncertain? Besides, even if it were certain, what difference would it make? It's just a son born out of wedlock, and it might not even be a boy."
Fucha Mingyu couldn't help but lose her temper and said sternly, "How dare a lowly princess get pregnant before me? How dare she!"
She had always been pampered and spoiled, being the eldest daughter of the family. She had been pampered since childhood and was extremely self-centered. She had never suffered such treatment before.
This is no ordinary matter; it seems that Su is most likely pregnant, which makes Mingyue both anxious and angry.
"Madam, Doctor Wen said it's not certain yet; she might not be pregnant at all. Don't scare yourself like this," Zi Xun quickly advised.
Mingyu knew that getting angry was useless, so she gradually calmed down.
At this moment, a servant reported, "The Prince has returned and is on his way to the main courtyard!"
When Hongli arrived at the main courtyard, Fucha Mingyu was still angry. This incident had been a huge blow to her, and she deliberately turned her head away with a cold face, ignoring Hongli.
