Chapter 1060: Chapter 1060 Doctor Wang
“Isn’t there a Doctor Wang in the mansion? Why don’t we have him co over to check on Xiuzhi to confirm this matter? What do you think?”
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded their heads; it seed to be the only solution for now.
Shortly thereafter, Mo Daoyan indeed went to invite Doctor Wang over to take Xiuzhi’s pulse.
Doctor Wang had been given the cold shoulder by Auntie Tang since the last incident, but in recent days, signs of reconciliation slowly erged.
“Doctor, what’s wrong with Xiuzhi after all?”
Doctor Wang reached out to take her pulse, his expression somber, and without uttering a word. Impatient as she was, Old Lady Mo could not hold back and asked repeatedly.
“Old Madam Mo, don’t be too anxious, your granddaughter is fine.”
“But why does she keep vomiting?”
“My congratulations, Old Madam, your granddaughter has a ‘joyful pulse’!”
“Joyful pulse? What’s that supposed to an?” The country folk said they weren’t used to the capital’s terminology.
“It ans she’s pregnant, there’s the cause for joy,” Doctor Wang explained, while packing away his dicine chest.
“Good heavens! She really is pregnant; that’s wonderful.” Old Lady Mo clapped her hands in delight, jumping for joy.
Doctor Wang cast her a curious glance and, without a word, left with his dicine chest.
“Yaner, hurry and escort the doctor out.”
“Yeah!”
Mo Daoyan was also deathly happy; if Xiuzhi was carrying the General’s child, did that not imply that the Concubine’s position was secure? And wouldn’t all their family mbers rise to heaven alongside her?
After Doctor Wang left, he visited two places consecutively.
First, he went to Qingyuo Pavilion, then to the Couple’s Courtyard.
Qingyuo Pavilion.
After Doctor Wang left, only Xuexue and her maid remained in the inner hall.
Xuexue always preferred quietness over noise and extravagance, so she minimized the number of personal maids as much as possible.
Unlike Situtu Qinger, who was just a Concubine-born Daughter, yet wherever she went, she was accompanied by four maids.
Compared to her, Xuexue was considerably more understated.
“Miss, this affair is getting more and more interesting.”
“Mhm!” Xuexue nodded: “Indeed, it is.”
“Sharing a room with the Old Master for a month, yet having a three-month pregnancy, and still daring to slander the Old Master; that’s audacity on a grand scale.”
Xuexue smiled without saying a word. Back in Mo Family Village, she often saw Mo Xiuzhi with Scholar Mo, even once catching them sneaking out of the bamboo grove together.
Now it seems that the child in Mo Xiuzhi’s belly must be his.
That Scholar Mo, all full of righteousness and morals—turns out he’s a hypocrite all along.
Yet, his father, the village head, is not a bad person; how could he have produced such a specin as Mo Shaocai?
“Miss, should we tell the Old Master about this matter?”
“Let’s wait a bit longer, let them stir up trouble first, and then we can crush them to the ground—that’s the real fun,” Xuexue said with a leisurely and self-satisfied expression.
Zi Xia understood that the ‘them’ Miss referred to were Auntie Tang and the Mo family mbers.
When they’re both seriously damaged, that’s when they step in and deliver a hard blow, ensuring they can’t get up again.
“Yeah, that sounds good!”
That evening, to help them act out this great farce, Xuexue specially sent soone to the military camp to invite Situ Yongjie back.
“Xuexue, why did you specially send for father to co back? What’s going on?”
As soon as Situ Yongjie returned to the mansion, he went straight to Qingyuo Pavilion.
Xuexue sized him up with a beaming smile and said, “Of course, it’s good news!”
How could there be good news when Auntie Tang had made such a scene over a maid, driving him to his wit’s end?
“Father, congratulations, you’re going to be a dad again. If that’s not good news, then what is!”
