Chapter 1088: 1088 Chapter 1088: 1088 Xiao Yishan tossed the game into the yard and roughly dragged Liu Haitang towards Xiao Qinghe’s bedroom.

Seeing Qinghe asleep in the room, he was about to turn around and leave.

It was then that Xiao Qinghe spoke up, “Second Brother, come in.”

Although he was unclear about the things happening outside the courtyard, he heard everything loud and clear when Second Brother brought Liu Haitang inside.

He was no fool; he knew that Second Brother suspected Liu Haitang of faking a pregnancy.

“Fourth Brother, you’re awake,” Xiao Yishan looked at his facial expression.

“You don’t seem to look well.

Are you feeling unwell?”

Xiao Qinghe propped himself up from the bed, “Nothing much, just a bit of wind-cold.”

“Then it’s best not to disturb you…” Worse comes to worst, he could find another physician for a consultation elsewhere.

“It’s just checking the pulse, no big deal,” Qinghe shook his head.

Xiao Yishan dragged over Liu Haitang, who grabbed onto the doorframe, refusing to budge.

No matter how strong she was as a woman, she couldn’t compare to him, and in just a moment, she was pulled over.

Xiao Yishan held Liu Haitang’s wrist with one hand and forcefully pressed down on her shoulder to keep her still.

Li Rong’er followed into the room, her heart caught in her throat.

Despite that, judging from Liu Haitang’s expression, she knew that the woman wasn’t pregnant.

But, in case she really was, that would be trouble!

Xiao Qinghe’s two fingers rested on Liu Haitang’s pulse.

After a short while, he said, “She is not pregnant and has a cold womb; getting pregnant would be extremely difficult for her.”

Liu Haitang was aware of her own body’s condition when she was a concubine at the Wan Mansion, which is why she had used every trick she knew to ensnare Xiao Yishan at every opportunity, thinking that while it was difficult to conceive, it wasn’t impossible.

She hoped to become pregnant before Xiao Yishan grew tired of her.

If one day he really did grow weary of her, she could still collude with a physician to fake a pregnancy and at worst, wear a fake belly, refusing intercourse on the grounds of pregnancy.

When it came time to give birth, she could just snatch a newborn secretly.

But she never expected Xiao Yishan to make his intentions clear so quickly.

No, it was that wretch Li Rong’er who spilled it.

If not for her, Dashan wouldn’t have become so heartlessly decisive!

After hearing Xiao Qinghe’s words, Li Rong’er was completely relieved, “Oh, so she’s just a free hen that can’t lay eggs!

Hehehe…

And she even thought of faking a pregnancy…

You must be desperate to have one, huh!”

Liu Haitang had no strength left to retort; her body swayed, and her face turned pale.

Xiao Yishan’s face was ashen, “So this is your so-called pregnancy?

You tricked me once before, do you really think you can deceive me a second time?”

“I…” Liu Haitang’s face was pale as she wept.

Xiao Yishan grabbed her hand and dragged her out to the yard, expelling her outright, “Get lost from here on out, I don’t want to ever see you again, and don’t you dare come within my sight!”

Caught off guard by being exposed so quickly, Liu Haitang had only claimed to be pregnant on a whim.

She hadn’t expected Xiao Yishan to have her pulse checked immediately.

In haste, she said, “Dashan, listen to me, I haven’t had my monthly period for seven days, and I thought I was pregnant.

I didn’t mean to lie to you…”

“Hmph, who would believe you,” Xiao Yishan spat.

“Leave immediately, don’t make me resort to hitting you!”

“I’ll leave, but you have to pay up,” Liu Haitang said furiously, ready to smash the pot since it was already cracked, “You’ve slept with me so many times these past days, at one tael of silver each time, so compensate me with one hundred taels!”

“Oh, is your private part lined with gold?” Li Rong’er looked down on her contemptuously, “One hundred taels is enough to buy two or three virgins.

You’re old goods, not even worth ten copper coins.”
