Chapter 36 Lin Xingyao is pregnant?
After going around in circles, everything seemed to be pulled back to the starting point by an invisible force.
A feeling of powerlessness came over her heart, and Chu Ruohan always felt as if every step she took was as if someone was watching her.
Every time I touch upon the first sign, it all ends in vain...
We can't just sit here and wait for death any longer. We don't know how long Gu Junze's body can last. We can't put all our hopes on Doctor Qian.
Once Gu Junze died, she became a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.
It is necessary to adopt a child as soon as possible, but there are no children of the right age among the Gu family members.
Chu Ruohan remembered that Anyang Hou's third brother was an official outside. After the flood, he was transferred back to the capital because of his outstanding political achievements.
In his previous life, his illegitimate son had a newborn child...
The Anyang Marquis's Mansion is strong on the outside but weak on the inside. There are only 500 taels of silver left in the account book. This amount of money is not enough to pay the monthly allowance for next month after deducting the various miscellaneous expenses of the mansion.
Although Lin Xingyao is in charge of the household expenses, she is not a fool and would not use her dowry to fill the holes in the Marquis' Mansion.
She cut down on all expenses in the mansion, from the food, clothing and daily necessities of the masters to the daily expenses of the servants, and every penny was spent wisely.
Chu Ruohan didn't care and casually put the few taels of silver in a corner of her dressing table.
Her family is the richest, and her dowry is very generous, enough for the whole Hongmeng Courtyard to spend for two lifetimes. Why would they care about a few taels of silver?
During her confinement period, Du Ruoling quarreled with Gu Chengan every day, couldn't sleep well at night, and cried all day long. How could she be taken care of well?
His face turned pale and sallow, and his body became thinner rapidly.
Gu Cheng'an felt sorry for her and coaxed her every day. He took all the supplements in the house and tried various ways to nourish her body.
The relationship between the two also eased a lot.
Since Lin Xingyao cuts down on expenses, Du Ruoling's expenses will naturally have to be reduced as well.
Du Ruoling stared at the bowl of clear soup in front of her, with a few vegetable leaves floating in it, and raised her hand to smash the bowl.
With a "crash", fragments flew everywhere and the soup spilled all over the floor.
"She's deliberately trying to cause trouble for me."
The maid beside her hurried to comfort her, fearing that she would not know the consequences and start causing trouble again, "Master, calm down. When the Second Young Master comes back, he will definitely take care of things for you."
But how could Du Ruoling listen to that? She was already being bullied right to her door.
The bitch Lin Xingyao couldn't get Gu Cheng'an's love, so she came up with this despicable method to deal with her.
This damn mistress...she's going to tear her apart.
He cursed all the way and ran straight to Lin Xingyao's yard. When he reached the door, he didn't wait for anyone to say hello, but started yelling at the top of his voice.
"Lin Xingyao, come out here! Stop playing dirty tricks behind my back and come face to face and explain everything!"
The courtyard was full of servants brought by Lin Xingyao from Prince Yong's Mansion, so how could they allow Du Ruoling to act so wildly?
The nanny's face turned pale. She walked quickly to Du Ruoling and raised her hand without saying a word.
"Pa" a solid slap came over.
Du Ruoling tilted her head to the side, a red palm print instantly appeared on her cheek, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
"You're so ignorant, you dare to call out the princess's name so casually? You're being so naughty and dishonest! The Anyang Marquis's Mansion has absolutely no rules!"
Du Ruoling covered her face, stunned by the sudden slap. Her eyes were filled with tears, not because of pain, but because of humiliation.
"You...you dare to hit me?"
The nanny snorted coldly, "So what if I hit you? The princess is kind and generous. She usually tolerates your arrogance in the mansion, and you are just getting ahead of yourself."
"I'll fight you." Du Ruoling said as she rushed forward and wrestled with the nanny.
The noise was so loud that half of the mansion could hear it clearly. Lin Xingyao in the room frowned slightly and put down the account book in her hand.
With a calm expression, he ordered, "What a shame to make such a fuss! Let her in."
After saying that, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Du Ruoling was brought in, her hair disheveled and her clothes in disarray. She was quite brave and scratched the nanny's face.
But she didn't get any good results either. Her clothes were torn, revealing a large area of skin on her chest, but she didn't care at all and stared at Lin Xingyao hatefully.
Lin Xingyao glanced at Du Ruoling's disheveled appearance indifferently, and gently placed the teacup back on the table with a crisp sound.
"Have you had enough of the commotion?"
Du Ruoling struggled forward, but the two burly women beside her held her arms tightly, making her unable to move.
"Lin Xingyao, you're just jealous that Gu Cheng'an loves me, so you're deliberately making things difficult for me. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"
Lin Xingyao sneered, "Love? Du Ruoling, don't forget your status. You're not even a concubine. Why would I bother to make things difficult for you?"
The nanny covered her scratched face and said, "My princess, look at this shrew. She is so wild and untamable!"
Lin Xingyao raised her hand slightly, signaling the nanny to be quiet.
Then he turned his gaze to Du Ruoling, "You caused a big disturbance today, which is insubordination. According to the rules, you will be severely punished."
Du Ruoling's face suddenly changed when she heard this, and a trace of fear surged in her heart, but she still forced herself to speak harshly: "You dare! When Gu Cheng'an comes back, he will definitely not let you go!"
Just at this moment, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the courtyard gate. Everyone knew that it must be Gu Chengan who had heard the news and rushed over.
Du Ruoling seemed to have found a lifeline, and instantly regained her spirits. She desperately shouted, "Gu Cheng'an, come and save me! Lin Xingyao is trying to kill me!"
Gu Cheng'an strode into the house and saw Du Ruoling with disheveled clothes and tear marks on her face, being pressed to the ground. He felt heartbroken.
He quickly stepped forward to help her up, and took off his coat to cover Du Ruoling's exposed skin.
"Why does the princess keep making things difficult for me?"
Gu Cheng'an's face was full of anger, with veins on his forehead throbbing slightly. He protected Du Ruoling behind him and stared at Lin Xingyao.
Lin Xingyao was so angry that she almost laughed. Is Gu Chengan's head full of shit?
These two people are really a perfect match.
One is a bitch and a scoundrel, the other is a confused bastard.
"I warned you long ago, keep an eye on her and don't let her get in front of me, you lust-blinded fool."
Gu Cheng'an had never been insulted in such a way before, and he immediately became furious. His neck flushed red, his fists clenched, and he took a step forward.
The maidservants around the princess were extremely anxious when they saw their masters quarreling, fearing that there would be a big mess, so they rushed forward to stop them.
"Second Master, calm down. This Miss Du just rushed in without any reason, and no one could stop her! The princess is pregnant, so you must not get angry."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a spell that froze him, and Gu Cheng'an froze in place instantly.
He opened his eyes wide, filled with shock and astonishment, with the only sentence "The princess is pregnant" echoing in his mind.
Just that one night? How could it be...
