Chapter 144 What? Pregnant?
what?
Is she pregnant?
Seeing Su Yan'er's expression freeze, Granny Wu hurriedly changed her words, saying, "Miss, this is all based on my experience. However, since you are inexperienced, this experience cannot be applied to you. You must have eaten something that upset your health. It would be best to have a doctor take a look!"
It would have been better if this hadn't been mentioned, because once it was, Su Yan'er completely lost her composure.
Granny Wu was an old servant in the household who had served Han Shu before, so her experience was usually reliable.
Could she really be pregnant?
But she only slept with her second brother once, and only that one time.
If it's true, then it's incredibly accurate!
Cuizhu was Su Yan'er's most trusted maid and knew everything about her, including Su Yan'er's affair with Qin Lang.
To outsiders, Su Yan'er was still a virgin, but in Cuizhu's eyes, she was no longer so; she was likely pregnant.
Cui Zhu panicked for a moment, but only for a second before quickly retorting.
"Miss must have eaten something wrong. She just needs to see a doctor and get some treatment!"
Granny Wu realized she had misspoke. How could the young lady be pregnant? So she chimed in, "Yes, the young lady must have eaten something wrong. But we can't be careless. The family physician isn't here. This old servant will go outside to fetch a doctor for the young lady."
"and many more!"
Su Yan'er hurriedly called for a stop. After all, Wu Mama was from Shumei Courtyard. Although she served in the West Wing, she was still someone Han Shu had placed by Su Yan'er's side. Wu Mama had probably told Han Shu everything about Su Yan'er.
If we let Granny Wu go out to fetch a doctor this time, my aunt will definitely find out. If she asks about it, then the matter between her and my second brother might not be able to be kept secret.
If she is indeed pregnant, how can she remarry?
No, I can't get pregnant.
If she is indeed pregnant, the child cannot be kept.
Granny Wu stopped and looked at Su Yan'er. "Miss, what's wrong? Is there anything else you need me to do?"
Su Yan'er's mind raced, and she made a decision immediately.
"Cuizhu, go give the old woman that much silver!"
"Granny, since we're going out to fetch a doctor, how can we not prepare the money?"
Cuizhu didn't understand Su Yan'er's implied meaning, so she simply replied, "Yes, please wait a moment, Granny!"
After receiving the silver, Cuizhu handed some loose silver to Granny Wu.
Seeing this, Su Yan'er instructed, "There have been too many things going on in the manor lately. If my matter has troubled Uncle and Aunt, then it would be a great sin. I hope that you can go through the back door and quietly invite the doctor in. The rest of the money can be given to you for wine!"
Su Yan'er always presented herself as gentle, so when she acted like this, Granny Wu thought she had gotten a great deal.
"Thank you, Miss!"
After agreeing, Granny Wu left the room and headed towards the back door!
After Granny Wu had gone far away, Su Yan'er's expression changed, and she immediately gave the order.
"Cuizhu, I'm afraid I really am pregnant. We can't keep Granny Wu here, or this will reach Auntie's ears sooner or later. Go find someone quickly, before Granny Wu arrives at the clinic, directly..."
Su Yan'er didn't say it aloud, but instead made a throat-slitting gesture.
"Bring plenty of silver, and make sure it's done cleanly!"
Cui Zhu was shocked for a moment, but then she calmed down.
Among the wealthy and powerful, who can remain untainted?
"Yes, Miss, rest assured, I will not let you down!"
......
Wanyue Courtyard.
As spring arrives, the weather gets warmer and warmer.
Qin Wan felt that her courtyard was bare, so she asked someone to transplant some flowers, even though she knew she would be leaving the Marquis's mansion soon.
Before leaving the Marquis's residence, she still hoped that her courtyard could be more beautiful.
Besides, she's not the same person she used to be. The betrothal gifts Xiao Jingyan gave her are now all hers, and she has plenty of money. The silver for these flowers is negligible compared to that.
"Miss, these flowers are beautiful, but they all bloom in spring. After autumn, they will all wither and our yard will be bare!"
Wan Shuang tilted her head, looking at the flowers in the yard. She liked them very much, but she still felt that Miss should choose some that bloom in autumn, so that there would be flowers in the yard all the time.
Before Qin Wan could respond after Wan Shuang finished speaking, Nian Qi raised her hand and tapped Wan Shuang on the head.
"Are you stupid? In a few months, Miss will be marrying His Highness and won't be living in this courtyard anymore. What's the point of having autumn flowers? Who are they for?"
Only after the evening frost did it become apparent that it was finally realized.
She laughed awkwardly, "This servant almost forgot, Miss is now a woman of marriageable age!"
Qin Wan smiled too; all she needed to do was make sure her yard looked nice before she left.
Just then, the gatekeeper entered the courtyard and bowed.
"Miss, someone from the palace has sent a message!"
The servant handed the letter to Qin Wan.
Qin Wan accepted the letter with a smile. It was from the palace, so it was naturally from Xiao Jingyan. However, Qin Wan was a little curious as to why Xiao Jingyan had decided to write to her.
After the servant left, Wan Shuang curiously peeked her head out.
"Miss, who is it?"
Nianqi raised an eyebrow and put her hands on her hips, saying, "Of course it's His Highness's. I didn't expect His Highness to be so romantic, actually writing a letter to Miss!"
Faced with such teasing, Qin Wan blushed and opened the letter.
As Qin Wan's expression darkened, Nian Qi leaned closer and saw that the signature was not Xiao Jingyan, but Consort Yan.
"Miss, why did Consort Yan invite you to the palace?" Wan Shuang asked with some concern.
Miss had been to the palace several times before, and each time she returned after suffering many grievances.
In her eyes, the palace was a den of demons, and Consort Yan's invitation to the young lady was certainly not a good thing.
"Miss, why don't you... feign illness and refuse?" Wan Shuang was truly afraid.
Qin Wan smiled and said, "It's alright. This time it was Consort Yan who invited me, not Her Majesty the Empress. Moreover, it's a flower viewing banquet three days from now. Not only am I invited, but there should be other young ladies from noble families as well!"
"Besides, His Highness is in the palace. He will protect you, Miss, so don't worry!" Nianqi patted Wanshuang's shoulder to comfort her.
really?
But in his current state, can the Fifth Prince protect Miss?
I'm still a little worried about the night cream.
However, Qin Wan already had some guesses.
In the past, when the palace held banquets, she would receive invitations by mail. This was the first time she had received a handwritten letter like this, which showed that Consort Yan sincerely invited her to attend.
It must be related to the day she saved Xiao Lingyun.
She had no choice but to go this time.
......
By evening, Granny Wu still hadn't returned.
Su Yan'er was a little worried and couldn't sit still in the west wing, so she went directly to Shumei Courtyard.
“Aunt, Yan’er wasn’t feeling well today, so I asked Granny Wu to fetch a doctor. But she’s been gone all afternoon and hasn’t returned. Yan’er was worried, so I sent people to look for her, but there’s no trace of her. Could something have happened to Granny Wu?”
Su Yan'er was so anxious that tears were about to fall, and Cui Zhu looked anxious as well.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Han Shu hurriedly pulled her into her arms and comforted her.
"Granny Wu is always a sensible person. If she hasn't returned by now, something must have happened. Don't worry, I'll send someone to look for her right away!"
Su Yan'er sobbed, covering her eyes with a handkerchief and wiping away her empty tears.
Han Shu paused for a moment, then said, "You just said you weren't feeling well. Where are you feeling unwell? The royal physician just returned. Would you like him to come and take a look at you?"
