Chapter 1228 - 1228 1225 Pregnant

Chapter 1228: Chapter 1225: Pregnant Chapter 1228: Chapter 1225: Pregnant “Father, Mother.” Ye Muyu stepped in.

The elderly couple hastily composed themselves, smiling as they looked at her, “Ah Yu, you’re here? Have you had breakfast yet?”

“I’ve eaten.” She hadn’t, really, but she wasn’t in the mood at the moment and didn’t want her elders to worry.

Upon her entrance, Madam Liu led her into the room and, after sitting down, looked at her expression and asked hesitantly, “Ah Yu, have you also heard the rumors spreading through the capital?”

“Mother, don’t worry, Ah Heng isn’t that kind of person, he definitely wouldn’t do anything he wasn’t confident about.” Ye Muyu was afraid that her parents had heard too much and might be unduly influenced, which could affect their health, and that wouldn’t be good.

Upon hearing this, Madam Liu also said angrily, “Our Ah Heng definitely did not transport the grain for the purpose of vying for power. The words of those commoners are too unpleasant.”

“It’s not necessarily commoners, who knows, it might be someone deliberately spreading the news to damage Ah Heng’s reputation.”

“Father and Mother, don’t let the words outside upset yourselves; otherwise, if Ah Heng comes back and sees that you’re unwell, he would likely be upset with me for not taking good care of you.”

“If someone with an agenda sends news of Father and Mother’s ill health to Ah Heng, and he worries, how can he focus on his duties?”

Chu Zhiwen rarely took a stand, “That’s right, regardless of the truth behind the rumors in the capital, what’s most important is Ah Heng’s safety. We should just take good care of ourselves and not hold him back.”

“Ah Yu, if Ah Heng sends a letter, remember to tell us, as long as he is alright, nothing else matters,” they said.

Madam Liu nodded, “That’s right.”

Although they were very angry about the rumors in the capital, nothing was more important than their son’s safety.

After comforting her elders, Ye Muyu returned to the main hall to take care of the residence’s affairs.

After she dealt with a few servants in the residence who were spreading gossip, Ye Muyu’s vision darkened, and she felt weak. She was quickly supported by the worried Su Mei from behind.

“My lady, how are you feeling?” Su Mei supported her, “Chun Xing, quick, help the lady back to rest first.”

By the time Ye Muyu lay in bed, the discomfort that had surged up seemed to have diminished considerably.

She took a sip of the flower tea Su Mei brought over but didn’t continue drinking, handing it back to her, “I’m fine.”

“It must be because you haven’t rested well.”

“My lady, shall I call the doctor to come and take a look? It’s better to check,” Su Mei softly persuaded from the side.

Chun Xing also nodded, “My lady, didn’t you say that small ailments can turn into serious illnesses?”

In the end, Ye Muyu was convinced and agreed to have someone call the doctor over.

“Let the doctor check on Old Madam and Chu Ziluo when he arrives. With the season changing, it’s easy to catch a cold,” Ye Muyu instructed, and Su Mei went out to tell the servants to make it happen.

She leaned back on the couch, not particularly sleepy, but feeling somewhat languorous, so she decided to sit back comfortably, closed her eyes, and rested for a while.

The doctor arrived quickly, and Ye Muyu extended her wrist for the pulse check.

“Congratulations, my lady, you have a joyful pulse, it’s been over two months,” the doctor said with a smile after putting away his handkerchief.

Ye Muyu was stunned, a joyful pulse?

She was pregnant?

How could this be…

Su Mei and Chun Xing were also shocked by the news. Since the family’s Young Master and young miss were already not young, they had not considered that the lady could still become pregnant, especially since the lady had a cold constitution which, despite being well cared for over the years, should still have made childbirth difficult. Moreover, the lady and the master had shown no intention of having another child.
