Chapter 126 Wicked Stepmother and Poor Child 19
He wanted to find out the truth about her! He wanted to see what was wrong with Shen Ci's body, whether it was a final burst of energy before death, or if there was another reason?
Shen Ci sneered. She knew her own body best. The system had already restored her body to its original state, back to its peak condition, without any problems. She refused outright.
"No need, I don't trust the doctor you invited."
After saying that, Shen Ci suddenly remembered something, looked Gu Hongjian up and down, and suddenly a playful and malicious smile appeared on her face as she said.
"But since we've already invited the doctor, we shouldn't have made this trip for nothing."
Husband, why don't you let him examine you? Aunt Zhou is about to enter the mansion this week, so you must make sure your body stays strong!
It would be good to have more sons and daughters for the Gu family as soon as possible; wouldn't that be a wonderful thing?
Gu Hongjian wanted to reprimand him, but something suddenly came to mind that made his face turn ugly instantly. In a flash, he remembered his lack of stamina when he was with Zhou Jingxuan last night.
Could it be... that he really has some kind of problem?
Since the doctor has already been invited, he should pay the consultation fee anyway, so he might as well take a look at himself. Gu Hongjian came from a humble background and had never lived a life of extravagant spending before meeting Shen Ci. He was extremely stingy when it came to money.
Shen Ci, too lazy to look at his ever-changing expression, supported Dan Gui and left without looking back.
Gu Hongjian stood there, feeling that some words, once heard, would grow wildly like weeds, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong with him.
"Someone, go and bring that doctor to my study."
A moment later, in the study.
The old doctor, whose hair and beard were already gray, carefully took Gu Hongjian's pulse. However, the time was getting longer and longer, and his brows were furrowed more and more tightly. He placed his fingers on the pulse and repeatedly checked it. He was so nervous that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Gu Hongjian noticed that the doctor's expression was off and couldn't help but urge him on.
"how?
Is there anything wrong with my health?
The doctor slowly withdrew his hand, looked at Gu Hongjian, and shook his head. This man is still so young, how come he's already failing at such a young age?
"well.
Forgive my bluntness, but your pulse indicates that your kidney essence is depleted and your seminal gate is destroyed. It seems your chances of having children are completely over.
And from now on, I'm afraid I'll never be able to have sex again.
Gu Hongjian felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his vision went black, and he suddenly jumped up from his chair, only to fall back down in vain.
"What?!
"You're talking nonsense! You quack! You must have been sent by Shen Ci to harm me, right?!"
But deep down, he knew that he had sent someone to invite the doctor, and Shen Ci was completely unaware of it.
"I have practiced medicine for decades, and I would never dare to speak carelessly about such an important matter. Your pulse is indeed as described. If you do not trust me, please seek another expert!"
The doctor turned and left. In such a serious condition, even ten more doctors probably couldn't cure him, let alone him. It was better to leave quickly. The man's reaction was normal. Any man would find it hard to accept, let alone such a young man.
Gu Hongjian let go of her hand, staggered back a few steps, and slumped down onto the cold ground.
The ground was so cold and icy that he didn't care whether Ding Han was cold or not; it was useless anyway.
The sky... has fallen!
Is he no longer able to have children? Is he no longer able to have sexual relations?
Is the child in Zhou Jingxuan's belly his and Zhou Jingxuan's only child?
No, the child wasn't even his.
A terrible thought popped up uncontrollably, making him feel cold all over. His suspicious nature, petty and narrow-mindedness, and his love of being paranoid were all traits that Gu Hongjian was born with.
It's over, it's all over.
All his ambitions, all his calculations, his plan to rely on his child and tie himself to the Zhou family, were gone. Gu Hongjian became a complete and utter useless person!
He didn't believe it! Could it be that he could no longer be a man?!
However, his performance last time was indeed disappointing. He was unsure whether what the doctor said was true. Even if there was a slight possibility, he had only just developed this condition. Was there really no chance of recovery at all?
The arrogant Gu Hongjian no longer cared about taking a concubine or his last burst of energy; he only wanted to focus on his health.
"Someone, go and fetch a few more doctors, from different shops."
If you don't believe what one person says, you should listen to several doctors. One doctor might be a quack, but ten doctors can't all be quacks, right?
For most of the day, new doctors kept coming to the study and one doctor after another kept leaving. Gu Hongjian was so busy that he didn't show up all day. After hearing the servant's report, Shen Ci laughed so hard that she almost fainted.
Gu Hongjian must be heartbroken right now. His bride is about to enter the family, but he's useless. Poor Zhou Jingxuan, she finally married the man she loved, but she'll have to live a life of widowhood for the rest of her life.
However, thinking about the child in Zhou Jingxuan's belly... In the original records, Zhou Jingxuan did indeed enter the Gu family while pregnant. However, Shen Ci had already died by then, and Zhou Jingxuan rushed to enter the family, eventually giving birth to the child under the pretext of premature labor.
Their first child was a boy, and they later had two more sons and three daughters, making a total of six children. They were considered very "loving".
What Shen Ci remembers most clearly is Zhou Jingxuan's first child, that illegitimate child born out of wedlock, and don't even mention that the child is innocent.
Those who enjoy the wealth brought by sin must bear the corresponding retribution.
Under Zhou Jingxuan's tutelage, this child harbored malice towards Gu Mingzhang and Gu Mingzhu, who had already lost their mother at that time. He bullied them like a servant and even tried to push the two children into the water to drown them on several occasions. It can be said that he was a wicked person from a young age.
As he grew a little older, he developed inappropriate and lewd thoughts towards his older sister, Gu Mingzhu. Zhou Jingxuan noticed this but did not stop him. In fact, she even tried to use this method to accuse Gu Mingzhu of seducing her younger brother.
The wickedness of human nature caused Gu Mingzhu and her brother to grow up in misery. The only thing that could be considered villainous in their pitiful lives was their single-minded desire to take revenge on the Gu family.
However, without any help, they ultimately failed. They lost their mother too early, and it was already extremely difficult for them to grow up safely.
"Three days from now, Aunt Zhou will be coming into the house to become your father's concubine."
A concubine is nothing more than a servant; you need not show her any respect. She is a person who has willingly fallen into depravity, and there is nothing to care about her.
If she treats you badly in any way, you must tell your mother, okay?
Before Zhou Jingxuan arrived, Shen Ci encouraged the child, telling him not to be afraid of a stranger appearing in the house.
