"Why don't you stretch out your hand quickly so that I can see what's wrong with you." Gu Yunru forced her to stretch out her hand, but she looked reluctant. This behavior made her even more confused. "What's wrong? Shu'er, don't you want your aunt to take a look at you?"
Shu'er's face turned pale and light, and she looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated, which made her even more confused.
"That's not the case, aunt. I'm actually fine. Maybe my bone marrow disease has recurred. I'm weak now. Just put the medicinal soup over there. I'll drink it right away." Shu'er forced a smile at her. Her face wasn't as pale as paper, so it seemed that there was nothing serious.
"Well, sometimes you have a temper like a bull, and no one can beat you." Gu Yunru shook his head helplessly, put the soup bowl aside, and got up to leave.
As soon as she walked out of the room, Gu Yunru felt something was wrong. Seeing Su'er wandering downstairs, she walked up to her and looked at her with dignity, "You are so brave. The princess has become like that, but you still haven't reported it!" Gu Yunru pretended to be pretentious in front of her just to scare her. Unexpectedly, the cowardly Su'er confessed the truth.
"I am guilty. The princess forbade me to say that I am guilty..." Su'er knelt on one knee with her head buried tightly. Her body trembled continuously. She looked very frightened. Gu Yunru turned her eyes and quickly discovered something.
"Then why don't you tell me when this started!" Gu Yunru continued to pretend to coerce and bribe her. With just a little threat, Su'er confessed everything.
"The princess was already pregnant three months ago, but she didn't want to worry the princess, so she asked me to help hide it. The adults also knew about this, they just didn't want to make the princess worry..." Su'er poured out the truth in fear. Gu Yunru turned pale and stepped back when she heard this.
"How could this happen?" Gu Yunru shook her head in disbelief. Shu'er's frail body meant she could never get pregnant. She had been taught how to use contraception before, so why was she suddenly pregnant again?
Without saying a word, he rushed upstairs and pushed open the door. He saw her secretly pouring the medicinal food into the flowerpot. It seemed that she had no intention of drinking it.
"Aunt..." Shu'er was caught red-handed, and her belly had no shape at all. Although it had been three months, it still looked relatively flat, but her whole body was a little swollen.
"Shu'er, why did you hide it from your aunt!" Gu Yunru walked up to her angrily and looked into her frightened eyes. Shu'er didn't dare to meet her sharp gaze, so she slowly lowered her head and sat aside.
"It was Su'er who told you, right? I've already told this girl that she must keep it a secret..." There was anger brewing in Shu'er's eyes, but it didn't matter at the moment.
"That's enough. Let's not talk about that nonsense for now. May I ask if you wanted this child on purpose, or did you get pregnant by accident?"
"To be honest, aunt, I have always wanted to have children for my husband. I saw that Xiniang was so old, but she was willing to have twins for Ma Zi. I was really envious. So when she got pregnant at first, I was still struggling whether to get rid of the baby, but I really don't want to live like that..."
Shu'er said these words to her from the bottom of her heart, her face full of pain and helplessness, which made Gu Yunru feel distressed.
"Silly Shu'er, do you know that whether you can give birth to this child is another matter? During pregnancy, your legs and feet will be sore and painful, and your whole body will be like a water-filled doll. What did I tell you before? Have you forgotten it?!" Gu Yunru really couldn't understand Shu'er's love-brained behavior. It was really not worth it to have children for Ji Heng.
"Aunt, I know what you want to say, but doing this is my only wish. My husband and I seem to be happy, but he will not be happy if we don't have a child. I also want to make my husband happy." Shu'er said these words with an innocent and longing look on her face, and it seemed that she was deeply in love.
"Oh, forget it. You and Xiniang are both stubborn. No matter what I say, you can't persuade them. This body is your own." Gu Yunru's mind was in a mess. In the midst of the confusion, he still prescribed her pregnancy-preserving medicine. I really don't know why she wrote this thing in a daze.
Although Shu'er and Xiniang have very different physiques, their purpose of getting pregnant is the same, which is nothing more than to please men. It is really puzzling that they are playing with their own lives.
"This is the pregnancy-maintaining medicine I wrote for you. It is suitable for your physical condition. You must be cautious about other medicines prescribed by other doctors. Think about what is best for your current body. I won't say much about other things. You can decide for yourself." Gu Yunru felt exhausted after writing these things and just wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
"Thank you, auntie. I knew you were the best." Shu'er thought she would be scolded by her, but the result was still satisfactory.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense like whether I'm good or not. You're just trying to make me happy. If you really want to make me happy, you shouldn't be disobedient and do these things so stubbornly." After Gu Yunru finished writing these prescriptions, she went downstairs to meet Rong Zhen. She saw that he and Ji Heng had just finished talking about something, and they were walking side by side on the street dejectedly.
"What's wrong? Is Madam Shu'er's condition not optimistic?" Rong Zhen asked with concern when he saw her looking dejected.

"She is not sick at all. She has been pregnant for more than three months. However, she kept it a secret from me for more than three months and I knew nothing about it." Gu Yunru felt unhappy when she thought about this.
"Pregnant? You should be congratulating them. No wonder Ji Heng's face was beaming when he talked to me just now. I thought he had a love affair outside, but it turns out he's going to be a father soon." Rong Zhen was happy for the two of them from the bottom of his heart. Now they were finally living in harmony.
"What do you mean by that? You know what's wrong with her body. Shu'er's body can't get pregnant. If she gets pregnant, it will be very dangerous. I'm not lying to you. It's not certain whether she can give birth to the child safely."
