After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 184 Young Madam has lost her appetite these days. Can you take a look?

Zhou Qin's dark eyes gleamed with a gleam. "We can't offend Xu Rui yet. We'll settle the score with Jiang Xiyu later."

Now Gu Wei entrusted Xu Rui with an important task. Not only did he appoint him as the general, but he also gave him 300,000 troops. According to Gu Wei's suspicious nature, he would never give Xu Rui the military power if he did not trust Xu Rui very much.

Xu Rui is definitely the court official that Gu Wei relies on the most now. He still wants to rely on Xu Rui to get promoted, so Xu Rui must not be offended.

Zhou heard the hidden meaning in Zhou Qin's words and frowned, "You mean to let Xu Rong return home tomorrow?"

Zhou Qin glanced at Zhou Shi and said, "If you don't let her come back, do you really want someone from Shuntian Mansion to come to your house?"

She knew clearly what they had done. How could such a thing alarm the authorities?

Zhou Qin knew he couldn't really alert the authorities, but...

"Let Xu Rong go back home. If she goes back and complains, the matter will still get out of hand."

If this matter were to become public, the Zhou family's reputation would be ruined, Zhou Qin's official career would be over, and even Zhou Qin and Zhou Lai might be convicted.

Zhou Qin was naturally worried that Xu Rong would complain, so he mused, "Tomorrow you and Lai'er will accompany her back home. You must stay with her every step of the way. I don't believe she'll dare to complain."

"What if she really dares?" Zhou knew Xu Rong a little, and because of that, she was even more worried.

Xu Rong is not someone you can easily mess with. This time she suffered such a great loss and finally returned to the Princess's Mansion. If she says something, she won't be able to stop her even if she wants to.

Zhou Qin was not worried. "Don't worry, she has been tamed almost completely. I have a way to control her."

Just when Zhou Qin was confused, he looked at her and said, "That girl has been in the Zhou family for more than a month, but she has never had her period during this period."

Zhou's eyes widened in surprise, "You mean she's pregnant?"

Zhou Qin smiled with a rather self-satisfied look on his face, "I'll just take the court doctor to Linxiang Pavilion and we'll know."

"Going right now."

Zhou was both angry and happy, and turned around and left.

Zhou Qin brought the court doctor and followed closely behind.

In Linxiang Pavilion, apart from Xu Rong, there were only her two maids, Wonton and Baicai, serving her. As for other members of the Zhou family, they were not allowed to approach Linxiang Pavilion.

When Wonton and Baicai saw Zhou Qin, their faces turned pale with fright. They immediately bowed to him and Zhou, "Master, Madam."

Zhou Qin ignored the two of them. He asked the court doctor and Zhou to wait outside and went into Linxiang Pavilion first.

As soon as she heard the footsteps, Xu Rong immediately shrank to the corner of the bed in fear.

When Zhou Qin entered the room, he saw Xu Rong huddled in the corner of the bed like a quail. His expression immediately turned grim. "After so many days, I thought you would have gotten used to it by now."

Xu Rong didn't raise her eyes, but just shrank further to the corner of the bed.

But Zhou Qin did not let her go. He took a quick step forward and grabbed Xu Rong from the corner of the bed.

Xu Rong trembled, but did not resist at all, and did not even dare to shout.

Zhou Qin touched Xu Rong's face with great satisfaction, as if admiring his own masterpiece.

The rough palm slid down from Xu Rong's face until it covered her lower abdomen and lingered there, seemingly asking casually, "When did you last have your period?"

Zhou Qin's words seemed to remind Xu Rong instantly.

Xu Rong thought of something and her face turned terribly pale in an instant. It was as if the last bit of energy she had left was drained away from her. At this moment, she was like a lifeless puppet in Zhou Qin's hands.

Zhou Qin was very satisfied with Xu Rong's reaction, because her reaction had confirmed his idea. However, in order to further confirm it, Zhou Qin still called in the court doctor.

Zhou came in with the court doctor.

This is the first time that the court physician has entered the Linxiang Pavilion since Zhou Lai and Xu Rong got married.

Seeing Xu Rong lying on the bed like a zombie, the court doctor's heart trembled suddenly.

Some dared not look at the bed.

Zhou Qin stared at the court physician with a gloomy look, "Young Madam has lost her appetite these past few days. Can you take a look at her?"

"Yes." The court doctor did not dare to delay. He sat on the round stool beside the bed and began to take Xu Rong's pulse.

As soon as he touched Xu Rong's pulse, the court doctor was shocked again.

Worried that he had made a wrong diagnosis, the court doctor took Xu Rong's pulse particularly carefully.

Seeing that the doctor had been taking the patient's pulse and body for a long time without saying anything, Zhou Qin finally asked impatiently, "What happened?"

The court physician's fingers trembled nervously again, and he immediately withdrew his hand. He stood up and reported, "Judging from the pulse, the young lady is pregnant."

"Bang." Upon hearing that Xu Rong was pregnant, Wonton, who was pouring tea, nervously dropped the teacup and broke it.

Wonton and Baicai both turned pale and immediately knelt on the ground, "This slave deserves death."

When Xu Rong heard that she was pregnant, she closed her eyes in despair.

Zhou also looked at Xu Rong with a complicated expression, feeling upset.

Zhou Qin was probably the only one present who was truly happy. Seeing that they all looked dejected as if their parents had died, Zhou Qin's face suddenly darkened. "Why? The young mistress is pregnant. Isn't it worth being happy that she will soon have children for the Zhou family?"

The court doctor was instantly frightened by Zhou Qin's words and immediately knelt down and shouted, "Congratulations, Master, Congratulations, Madam, and Young Madam."

Zhou Qin enjoyed it very much and looked at the wontons and cabbage fiercely.

The two of them immediately fell to the ground and shouted, "Congratulations, Master, Congratulations, Madam, Congratulations... Young Madam."

Zhou Qin was so happy that he waved his hands and said, "Today the Zhou family has a big celebration, everyone will be rewarded."

"Thank you, sir." Several people thanked him in unison.

Looking at Zhou Qin who was so happy as if he wanted to celebrate with the whole world, Zhou felt very aggrieved, but when she thought about her and Zhou Lai's current situation, she felt helpless.

Zhou Qin was truly delighted. He looked at the court physician and asked, "How is the young lady's health, and how is the fetus?"

The court physician stood up and reported, "Master, don't worry. The young lady is in good health and the fetus is stable. She will definitely give birth to a healthy and intelligent child."

Zhou Qin was very satisfied with the court doctor's words. "Then I'll leave my young lady's pregnancy care to you. Go and make some medicine for her."

"Yes." The court doctor responded and immediately bowed and retreated.

After leaving the room, the court doctor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead exhaustedly.

He was the official physician of the Zhou family. He had examined Zhou Lai's injuries to his grandfather. Zhou Lai's injuries were serious and it was impossible for him to have children.

But now, Xu Rong, who had only been married for a month, was unexpectedly pregnant. Her pulse indicated that she had conceived the child several days before she and Zhou Lai were married. Zhou Lai rarely visited, but Zhou Qin and Zhou Shi visited every day. The child Xu Rong was carrying couldn't possibly be Zhou Lai's.

How could he have known the secret of the Zhou family? He'd better be careful to keep his mouth shut, or he might be silenced one day.
