Wang looked at Sun Qingyu with surprise.
She viewed Sun Qingyu primarily as a female doctor.
I never imagined that my brother, who is over sixty years old, could get this young stepmother pregnant.
Wang's expression softened slightly: "Summon the imperial physician to examine my pulse."
For prominent families, the birth of a child is naturally a joyous occasion.
Since the Empress wanted to give Sun Qingyu face, she naturally couldn't fall behind.
Otherwise, if Su Wanwan wins people's hearts, it will be a loss for them.

Su Wanwan smiled and said, "Grandmother is reluctant to part with Madam Sun, and I, as her granddaughter-in-law, can naturally understand."
"But if this pregnancy becomes more noticeable and any gossip gets out, it won't look good for anyone."
That's a tactful way of putting it.
