"She's pregnant? How could she be pregnant?" Gu Jiangli didn't believe it. "The doctor came to see her?"
Lotus shook her head: "No, not at all."
"So she only had symptoms of pregnancy, but no doctor confirmed it."
"Hmm. I heard she's already gone to the city lord's wife's room, and the doctor has been summoned as well. Maybe they're going to talk about this. Miss, you should go talk to the lady of the house. Your period hasn't come yet, has it?"
"Yes, it's time to go and talk to them."
"Miss, aren't you worried?" Lotus asked with a worried expression.
Gu Jiangli didn't take it seriously. "What are you worried about?"
"It would be great if you were pregnant, but if Sun Chan were also pregnant, and you were both pregnant at the same time, who knows who the old lady would favor?"
"It's alright, Lotus. She can't get pregnant. It would be a problem if she really got pregnant. Let's go visit the city lord's wife."
Now it's time to give the city lord's wife a surprise.
The bloodline of the City Lord's Mansion was indeed continued, but not by Jiang Huaisong, but by Jiang Huaizhi.
————
Inside the city lord's room.
Sun Chan sat on the chair with a slightly shy air, while the city lord's wife looked at her with a face full of affection.
“Sun Chan, I’ve heard about your situation. You’re most likely pregnant. Once the doctor comes to check and confirms it, I have plenty of gifts for you.”
The city lord's wife had a kind look in her eyes.
Sun Chan concealed her pride and replied softly, "It is my blessing to be able to give birth to Huai Song's child."
The city lord's wife was very pleased to hear this.
There was a noise coming from outside the door.
They thought a doctor was coming, but instead, Gu Jiangli arrived.
Gu Jiangli, dressed in a plain-colored long robe with cloud patterns, approached the group. She was respectful, polite, and poised.
She put on a good show, and the city lord's wife couldn't find any fault with her.
“Madam, I heard that my sister-in-law has been feeling unwell lately, and it seems she has some good news to share. I’ve come to join in the fun and offer my early congratulations to her.”
Sun Chan seemed to have already confirmed her pregnancy, and became increasingly arrogant.
"Is Sister Jiang Li really here to wish me a happy birthday? Or is she just here to cause trouble on purpose?"
Hearing Sun Chan's unpleasant tone, the city lord's wife immediately frowned again: "Sun Chan, what do you mean by that?"
Sun Chan turned her head and put on a somewhat aggrieved look. "Madam, you don't know, my sister-in-law doesn't like me in private. She often speaks coldly to me and often says some nasty things to me."
"If I am really pregnant, it would be better to see her less often. I'm afraid that if I get upset by her, it will be bad for the baby."
Upon hearing this, the city lord's wife's face turned even uglier.
She had long noticed the discord between Sun Chan and Gu Jiangli, but she didn't know that Gu Jiangli would speak ill of Sun Chan in private.
"In that case, once you and Huaisong move into the attic, I'll let Huaizhi and Jiang Li visit your place less often."
Sun Chan beamed with joy.
She glanced at Gu Jiangli smugly and had to admit that Gu Jiangli was right about something he once said.
When she became pregnant, she had people helping her, making it much easier to deal with Gu Jiangli.
"Jiang Li, did you hear that? From now on, stay away from Sun Chan. We're all family, and I don't want to hear about any discord within the family."
Gu Jiangli remained silent.
As the saying goes, "love me, love my dog," the city lord's wife favored Jiang Huaisong, and therefore also favored Jiang Huaisong's wife.
They didn't even bother to listen to a single explanation before making their decision.
How ironic.
Seeing that she remained silent, Sun Chan stood up and said in a very imposing manner, "Why aren't you saying anything? Didn't you hear Madam tell you to stay away from me from now on?"
Gu Jiangli raised his head, his icy eyes like blades, which sent a chill down Sun Chan's spine.
Sun Chan's shoulders trembled, and her voice trembled slightly when she spoke again: "Why...why are you glaring at me?"
“Since you think I’m dangerous, why don’t you stay away from me?” Gu Jiangli said slowly.
Sun Chan's indomitable spirit surged to the top of her head, and she took a few big strides to stand face to face with Gu Jiangli.
"You expect me to avoid you? Why should I?"
As she finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of two men walking behind Gu Jiangli, with a doctor carrying a medicine box following behind them. Her eyes instantly darkened, and a scheming thought arose in her mind.
She grabbed Gu Jiangli's hand, then screamed as if possessed, and quickly fell backward.
The maidservant beside Sun Chan reacted quickly, leaping to the ground and catching Sun Chan as she fell.
The city lord's wife clutched her chest, her face pale with fright, and hurriedly said, "Quick, help me up! Help me up! Are you alright?"
Jiang Huaisong also rushed in from outside the door.
Seeing this scene, he panicked a little, "What happened!"
Sun Chan slumped back onto the human cushion and began to groan, "Ah... my stomach hurts, my wife, my husband, my stomach hurts so much."
Her face was contorted, and she looked extremely pained.
Jiang Huaisong dragged the doctor over, "Quick, let the doctor take a look! What happened? How did you fall?!"
Sun Chan stretched out her hand and cried, "Husband, it was my sister-in-law who pushed me. She probably already sees me as a thorn in her side because of the incident in the attic. This time, when she heard that I might be pregnant, she was so bold as to try to kill me in front of the madam!"
After saying that, he turned to the city lord's wife and cried out, "Madam, you must stand up for me! My sister-in-law is so arrogant, what if something happens to my child!"
