The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 348

Chapter 348: 187 Scum Abuse (First Update)

Lady Gu was taken aback as she looked at the house doctor, “What are you saying? A pulse of joy?”

The house doctor replied, “Yes, Madam, it is indeed the pulse of joy!”

Lady Gu said, “Are you sure you didn’t misdiagnose it?”

The house doctor chuckled, “Though my medical skills may not be excellent, I certainly can’t mistake the pulse of joy! Congratulations, Madam, you’re about to have another precious grandchild!”

A baffled expression crossed Lady Gu’s face.

She had never expected that at her age, she would have another grandchild, particularly from Lady Ling, whom she had given sterility medicine to.

...

Could it be that… the sterility medicine was ineffective?

The doctor did mention back then that the effects of this medicine varied from person to person. Some would become infertile for life, while a very few might conceive again a few years later.

Well, if it is ineffective, then so be it.

In the past, she had stopped Lady Ling from having her own child out of concern for her sons Gu Changqing, Gu Chengfeng, and Gu Chenglin. She was worried that if Lady Ling gave birth to a son, it would threaten her sons’ positions.

Now that Gu Changqing has been nominated as the heir of the Marquis Residence by the Emperor, and both Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin have grown up, having a younger brother would not matter much.

Considering how diligently Lady Ling has cared for her three sons all these years, allowing her to have a son to live out her remaining years in peace seems acceptable.

After this reflection, Lady Gu found herself somewhat anticipating the child inside Lady Ling’s womb.

“How many months?” she asked the house doctor.

The house doctor replied, “Based on the pulse, it should be only a bit more than a month.”

A hint of panic flashed across Lady Ling’s face. “But I had my period not long ago.”

The house doctor chuckled, “That can happen as well.”

Lady Gu nodded thoughtfully, “Indeed, I had the same experience when I was pregnant with the Consort. I had my period and almost thought I wasn’t pregnant.”

Lady Ling hesitated, biting her lower lip. _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}

Lady Gu held Lady Ling’s hand and spoke tenderly, “So that’s why you were not feeling well recently. It turned out you are pregnant. You should take good care of yourself and bear a healthy grandson for me. The Marquis Residence will not treat you poorly.”

It’s not about being treated poorly or not, but…

Lady Ling clenched her fists tightly.

Suddenly, the report of a servant came from outside, “Madam, the Mistress has arrived.”
