The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 349

Chapter 349: 187 Scum Abuse (First Update)_2

There was no running away from being pregnant now.

The Old Madam Gu considered it a matter of her son’s reputation and allowed only the few people in the room at that time to know about it.

The doctors who were invited were all given hush money by the Old Madam Gu.

There was a tradition in Zhan Country that you couldn’t announce a pregnancy until after the first three months.

The doctors assumed the Gu Family was the same, so they happily took the silver and left.

As for the possibility of Marquis Residence not having a child in the future, that wouldn’t be a surprise either. Pregnancy is a difficult and risky process, and no one can guarantee a successful birth after conception.

...

When Lord Gu entered Songhe Court, the Old Madam Gu’s trusted maid had been waiting in the hall for a long time: “My lord, you’ve finally returned. The old madam has been anxiously waiting!”

Lord Gu said, “I just encountered a few doctors at the entrance. Is my mother’s health not very good?”

“It’s not the old madam…” The trusted maid didn’t quite know how to explain. She sighed, “My Lord, you better go inside and see for yourself.”

She parted the curtain and let Lord Gu in.

In the room, there were only four people: Old Madam Gu, Madam Yao, Chambermaid Fang, and Lady Ling, who was lying on the bed with a pallid face.

Lord Gu first saluted the Old Madam Gu, “Mother,” and then walked to Madam Yao’s side. Seeing that she was unharmed, he felt relieved.

He turned to Old Madam Gu again, “Mother, why did you urgently call for me to come back? Has something happened?”

Old Madam Gu asked with a straight face, “Have you visited Lady Ling’s quarters in these past two months?”

Lord Gu glanced at Madam Yao, “What is the meaning of this question, mother?”

Old Madam Gu said sternly, “Don’t look at your wife just answer me – have you been there or not!”

Lord Gu coughed lightly, “I did visit once.”

“Did you stay there?” asked Old Lady Gu.

“Of course not!” Lord Gu was shocked, “I was just passing by. Chenglin was there and called out to me. I went in and chatted with him for a bit and then left.”

At that time, Chenglin was still recovering from his injuries and in a wheelchair. He had accidentally thrown his top up to the roof, and Lord Gu had gone into retrieve it.

Old Madam Gu said seriously, “Is that the truth, or are you just saying that because your wife is here?”

Lord Gu turned solemn, “No, I’m not.”
