Chapter 257: Could it be pregnancy?

Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Could it be pregnancy?

"You’re busy, and so are we. We can’t put everyone else’s medical needs on hold for a minor ailment of yours."

"Do you think you are the Heavenly King? Even the Heavenly King isn’t intimidating to Gu Youyou."

"What kind of attitude is this? I’m your grandmother! If I say Qianqian is pregnant, then she is most definitely pregnant," Old Madame Huang raised her voice too.

Her great-grandson, oh, they’ve been overjoyed for so many days, and you’re saying there’s nothing?

Gu Youyou sneered coldly, "Huh... I’ve always been like this. Are you just realizing that today?"

"Pregnant just because you say so? Do you think you’re some kind of fertility goddess?"

Gu Youyou suddenly laughed again, spreading her hands and speaking in a low voice, "Alright, I’ve made it very clear to you. They haven’t been married long enough for pregnancy, and the symptoms you’re talking about shouldn’t be appearing now. If you don’t believe me, feel free to consult another doctor. If Qianqian is indeed pregnant, it’s definitely not the Gu Family’s child."

Old Madame Huang’s eyes bulged, her nose contorting with rage, "What did you say?"

She dared to say that it’s not the Gu Family’s child if there’s a pregnancy?

Is that something a daughter of the Gu Family should say?

Where do you put the honor of the Gu Family, your brother, and the new bride?

Gu Youyou calmly articulated, "I’ve said everything clearly, yet you refuse to believe me. Any regular doctor would know this small matter, you can easily ask another one."

With that said, Gu Youyou grew irritable and furious.

This old lady, unseen for many days, had become ever more dreadful. How did Gu Youyou get saddled with such a ’wonderful’ grandmother? And then had that ’wonderful’ grandmother thrust onto her?

...

Old Madame Huang didn’t know how she left Jisheng Hall, nor how she made it home in a daze.

Along the way, her mind was filled with what Gu Youyou had said.

Qianqian might have upset her stomach by eating too much watermelon, but from her experience of giving birth to eight children, that was definitely a pregnancy.

If Qianqian was truly pregnant, it absolutely couldn’t be the seed of the Gu Family.

If not the seed of the Gu Family, whose seed is it?

Old Madame Huang recalled the scene before Dabao and Lei Qianqian married—the matchmaker kept stressing that the girl’s family was in a hurry, mentioning how she had mourned for her father for three years, which already delayed her enough, and they couldn’t afford any more delays. "If you are sincere about the marriage, marry her as soon as possible."

The time from engagement to marriage was just over ten days.

Such urgency for a bride taken in open and proper marriage was unheard of. As soon as the horoscopes matched, they picked a reasonably auspicious day that was not the worst and married them off. She had heard the astrologer’s words: the best day for their marriage was three months later.

But the matchmaker insisted the Lei Family couldn’t wait three months.

They had waited three years, but couldn’t wait three more months?

"Huh..."

A vicious look crossed Old Madame Huang’s face, almost grinding her teeth to pieces.

Looking for a fool and they found the Gu Family—well done, Lei Family, well done, that matchmaker.

Old Madame Huang quietly returned to the Gu Family home without alarming anyone.

Besides her, there were only three people in the house.

Gu Xiaoqing was in her room embroidering her dowry, the second daughter-in-law was cleaning the pigsty, and there was Lei Qianqian, leaning against the wall vomiting violently.

Behind a window, Old Madame Huang lurked in the shadows, thinking of going straight out there and skinning this vile creature alive.

But she couldn’t do that—she had to hold on.

She had to consult a doctor first to find out after how long into a pregnancy vomiting was normal.

And Gu Youyou had mentioned, it could be a bad stomach from eating watermelon.

She would wait until these two matters were confirmed.

It better be a bad stomach, because if not, she’d fight to her last breath against her and that rotten Lei Family.
