Lin Youning heard her eldest brother’s answer, took a deep breath, and realized it was indeed as she had guessed.
She knew that this had happened in her previous life, and it should happen in this life too. Gu Er had been given dication to prevent him from having offspring, so he couldn’t have children with any woman. However, she had a child in her past life, and Brother Zong was not Gu Er’s child, so it’s very likely that he is the eldest brother’s child.
Last ti, because of this matter, Lin Youning did not want to face his eldest brother. Now that she had co to terms with it, she understood it in her heart. When she asked in a probing manner, it turned out that it was the sa in the past life. She just didn’t understand how the eldest brother had agreed in his previous life, and in this life, he didn’t agree with Gu Er’s notion. Is it because she has been in contact with the eldest brother for so many years? That’s why the eldest brother considered her feelings and didn’t agree to such a muddled idea?
Facing the surprise on her eldest brother’s face, Lingling smiled openly, without any trace of anger, "How can such a matter be hidden? Judging by your actions and Aunt’s attitude, I had guessed it. Besides, he was so calm at that ti, able to co up with such an idea, which is also quite shocking to people."
No wonder Aunt was so angry, even severing the mother-son relationship.
Gu Yifeng didn’t speak, just held her hand tightly across the tea table, feeling both distressed and uncomfortable, not knowing what to say or how to express it.
"Alright, it’s all over now, these are things of the past. You see, even though you and Aunt didn’t tell initially, I found out anyway. Aren’t I fine now? I’ve co to terms with it. With you and Aunt caring about so much, I should be content." Lin Youning’s words were sincere.
Even having this matter confird gave her a sense of relief. So, Brother Zong should be the eldest brother’s child?
Now, in this life, she was pregnant again, wondering if Heaven would return Brother Zong to her.
"Silly girl." Gu Yifeng stroked her head, not knowing what to say.
In his heart, he was angry at his irresponsible brother. Sister Ning was so kind, soone they had watched grow up, how could he have such a thought?
Gu Yifeng didn’t know what he should do. He had already done what he could for his brother. Seeing his brother’s unchanged attitude, Gu Yifeng felt irritated.
Now tangled up with Princess Yuanhua, Gu Yifeng couldn’t be bothered to deal with his brother’s matters but didn’t expect him to visit today.
Lin Youning originally wanted to say a few words to comfort the eldest brother, but suddenly felt a discomfort in her stomach, covered her mouth, and couldn’t help but retch. Hearing the commotion inside, Shanmoi and Hainan rushed in, frightened at their master’s reaction.
After all, the young lady had been well these past few days. Gu Yifeng had soone fetch Nanny Guo, and after Guo ngng ca in, she only instructed soone to find that old doctor.
Hainan didn’t trust anyone else with this task, so he went personally.
Nanny Guo strode forward, "Young lady doesn’t seem to be unwell suddenly, perhaps it’s sothing she ate?"
She then inquired what Shanmoi had eaten in the morning. Shanmoi, looking anxious, said, "The things young lady eats now are all approved by the nanny. Besides, she ate sothing at the Wu Mansion yesterday, but nothing else."
Nanny Guo furrowed her brow, "The young lady looked fine yesterday after coming back, but today it’s like this. I suspect she might have eaten sothing disagreeable at the Wu Mansion."
"I knew Princess ant no harm; it must have been aid at the young lady. When I went with the young lady to the Wu Mansion, we t the young lady of the Wu family, and I feel she was against our young lady," Shanmoi grumbled.
"Alright, we still don’t know what’s going on; don’t bla others just yet." Lin Youning suppressed her retching and stopped Shanmoi from saying more. "Go out and bring so water. I want to wash up; the sll on is too strong."
Lin Youning wanted to protect Shanmoi, as her eldest brother’s face darkened. Usually, Lin Youning didn’t care about Shanmoi’s lack of manners, but with her eldest brother present, she naturally didn’t like Shanmoi’s behavior.
Nanny Guo understood Lin Youning was looking out for Shanmoi and said, "It’s just as well; I made so herbal dicine for the young lady in the kitchen. Go check if it’s ready."
Shanmoi’s face changed, realizing that the Marquis was also present, she curtseyed and quietly stepped back.
Lin Youning saw Shanmoi was frightened, and once everyone was gone, glanced at Nanny Guo, who also withdrew. Only then did she speak, "Eldest brother, don’t be angry with Shanmoi, she’s just worried about . Later, I’ll have Nanny Guo teach her so manners. Anyway, given her temperant, she’s a good match for Li Si. With Li Si tidying up after her, you’ll see, she’ll gradually beco more steady."
Gu Yifeng knew she was making excuses for the maid, shaking his head with a smile, only asking, "How do you feel now?"
"Much better now, just was suddenly uncomfortable for a mont," Lin Youning replied, looking visibly better.
Gu Yifeng believed her but felt more confused, knowing her reactions weren’t typical of a pregnant woman. Thinking back to Sister Ning’s earlier poisoning, even with a faint smile on his face, his eyes grew colder.
Lin Youning imdiately sensed the change in her eldest brother. "Don’t worry, I know how to protect myself. When eating at the Wu Mansion, I only ate what Wu Xueqin and others were eating. As for drinks, I didn’t touch any."
"Silly girl." Gu Yifeng didn’t know what to say to her.
After all, she insisted on visiting the Wu Mansion, and he couldn’t stop her. Now she knows to protect herself and recognize danger. Gu Yifeng didn’t know whether to scold her or praise her intelligence.
Lin Youning smiled, and just at that mont, the old doctor Hailan went to fetch arrived.
