Chapter 134 Pregnancy and Elopement
Chapter 134 Pregnancy and Elopement
Inside the Qi family mansion, the morning sunlight streamed into the rooms through the carved window lattices.
Qi Yushuang lay on the bed, her face pale and looking extremely tired.
She has been feeling nauseous and extremely sleepy lately, which is making her very uneasy.
"What on earth is going on?"
Qi Yushuang muttered to herself, her heart filled with doubt and worry.
In order to understand the changes in her body, Qi Yushuang decided to invite the physician in the manor to take her pulse.
A short while later, the doctor rushed over and carefully examined her pulse. He then showed a hint of surprise on his face.
"Congratulations, Miss, you are pregnant."
The doctor said softly, his tone tinged with surprise.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yushuang's heart sank, and a look of fear flashed across her face.
She never expected that she would get pregnant at this time, and that she would have a child with Twilight City.
"What...what should we do?"
Qi Yushuang muttered to herself, her mind in turmoil.
Qi Yushuang knew that the only way now was to find Qi Yuxuan and make him take responsibility.
She got up, washed up, and, suppressing her fear and unease, went to Qi Yuxuan's study.
Inside the study, Qi Yuxuan was reading at his desk. Hearing footsteps, he looked up and was slightly taken aback when he saw Qi Yushuang.
"Yushuang, what brings you here?"
Qi Yuxuan asked, his tone tinged with indifference.
Qi Yushuang took a deep breath and mustered her courage to say, "Yuxuan, I have something important to tell you. I... I'm pregnant."
Qi Yuxuan's expression instantly turned serious. He remained silent for a moment, a complex look flashing in his eyes.
"You're pregnant?" Qi Yuxuan repeated in a low voice, his tone tinged with coldness. "I'm sorry, my heart belongs only to Ziyue."
Qi Yushuang felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She knew that Qi Yuxuan had deep feelings for Qiu Ziyue, but she didn't expect him to be so resolute.
“But…” Qi Yushuang said, choking back tears, “You have to take responsibility for this child.”
Qi Yuxuan shook his head: "This is not my responsibility. Go find Twilight City, he has always been interested in you."
Qi Yushuang felt a wave of despair. She remembered the time she humiliated Mu Guangcheng, and Mu Guangcheng never came to see her again after that.
“Since that time, Twilight City has never come to see me again,” Qi Yushuang said weakly.
Qi Yuxuan's face grew even darker: "You are the child's parents, go and handle your own affairs."
Qi Yushuang understood that Qi Yuxuan still harbored deep resentment towards Li Maozhen for forcing him into marriage last time, and she knew she couldn't change his mind.
Left with no other choice, she turned and left, her heart filled with confusion and helplessness.
Back in her room, Qi Yushuang sat on the edge of the bed, at a loss.
At this moment, she thought of Xiao Cui, the maid in the mansion, who might be able to help her contact Twilight City.
"Xiao Cui, come here for a moment," Qi Yushuang called softly.
Xiao Cui entered in response to the call, and seeing Qi Yushuang's haggard appearance, she felt a pang of pity.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Xiao Cui asked with concern.
Qi Yushuang sighed: "Xiao Cui, could you please send a message to Mu Guangcheng for me? Tell him I have something important to discuss with him."
Xiao Cui nodded: "Okay, Miss. I'll take care of it right away."
A few days later, Twilight City finally received Little Green's letter.
Despite some hesitation, he decided to go to the Qi family mansion.
When he arrived at the Qi family mansion, Qi Yushuang was already waiting at the door.
Seeing Twilight City's figure, a glimmer of hope welled up in her heart.
"Twilight City, you've arrived," Qi Yushuang said softly.
Twilight City smiled slightly: "Miss Rain Frost, what brings you here?"
Qi Yushuang took a deep breath and mustered her courage to tell the truth: "I'm pregnant."
Twilight City was taken aback at first, then a surprised smile appeared on her face.
He gently took Qi Yushuang's hand and said tenderly, "You need to think it over. I will take responsibility. Will you marry me?"
Tears welled up in Qi Yushuang's eyes as she looked gratefully at Twilight City, finally finding some comfort in her heart.
“I do, Twilight City,” Qi Yushuang said softly.
Twilight City smiled and said, "That's great, you've finally agreed. I'll treat you well."
Twilight City accompanied Qi Yushuang into the mansion, where the two discussed their next plans.
Qi Yushuang bravely wrote a letter to her godfather Li Maozhen, saying that she was wrong last time and that she and Muguangcheng had been intimate.
She is now pregnant with Twilight's child and wants to marry Twilight as soon as possible, hoping to receive her godfather's blessing.
Upon receiving the letter, Li Maozhen was furious.
Since being severely weakened by Qiu Ziyue's song "Demon Soul Broken" last time, he sought out a famous doctor in the capital, replenished his body with many precious medicinal herbs, and recuperated for a long time before finally returning to Chang'an to catch his breath.
"This brainless idiot! I've raised you for so many years for nothing! What did you get wrong? You don't even know who you've slept with, and you still have the nerve to say you're pregnant? You have no shame!" Li Maozhen cursed.
After much deliberation, Li Maozhen decided to write a reply.
With Twilight City's help, Qi Yushuang was able to calm down temporarily.
However, an unexpected letter shattered this brief peace.
This letter came from Li Maozhen.
He wrote sternly, "I've raised you for over a decade for nothing. I'm entrusting you with the task of hiding in the Qi family mansion and helping me find the jade pendant."
"There's no progress yet, so you can't marry someone else. You have to get rid of the child, or don't acknowledge me as your father."
After reading the letter, Qi Yushuang burst into tears.
She felt utterly desperate and helpless, her heart filled with fear of the future.
She didn't know how to face this choice, nor did she know where to go from here.
Qi Yushuang decided to consult with Twilight City again.
She knew that at this crucial moment, only he could give her support and help.
The two met in a secluded corner of the Qi family mansion. Qi Yushuang handed Li Maozhen's letter to Mu Guangcheng and said in a trembling voice, "Look, what should I do?"
After reading the letter, Twilight City frowned and remained silent for a moment.
He knew this was a very difficult problem, but no matter what, he couldn't let Qi Yushuang face it all alone.
“We can’t do what he says.”
Twilight firmly stated, "Our child is innocent, and we shouldn't have to pay such a high price for his greed."
Qi Yushuang nodded, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes: "Then... what should we do?"
Twilight City took a deep breath, her gaze resolute: "Let's elope."
Qi Yushuang felt a surge of excitement upon hearing Mu Guangcheng's suggestion.
Elopement means giving up your current life, but it also means freedom and a new beginning.
She knew it was a bold decision, but she had no other choice.
"Where are you going to elope?" Qi Yushuang asked, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Twilight City thought for a moment and said, "We can go to the northern frontier. There, the sky is high and the sea is wide, far from the strife, suitable for living in seclusion. We can find a quiet place and live the life of an ordinary person."
Qi Yushuang nodded, her unease gradually dissipating.
She knew this was the only option.
She didn't want to be used by Li Maozhen anymore, nor did she want to lose her child.
She longs for a future of her own.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Qi Yushuang said softly, "Let's leave here together."
To ensure the elopement went smoothly, Twilight City began making all the preparations.
They needed enough money, necessary clothing, and a reliable route.
Twilight City also contacted some trusted friends to make sure they didn't run into trouble on the road.
Meanwhile, Qi Yushuang was also packing up the things she wanted to take with her.
She only took a few essential clothes and some precious items with her, leaving everything else at the Qi family mansion.
She knew that once she left, she might never come back.
As night fell, the Qi family mansion was brightly lit, but Qi Yushuang and Mu Guangcheng quietly left.
Under the cover of night, they passed through the back gate of the mansion and walked out of the city along a secluded path.
Throughout the journey, Qi Yushuang held Mu Guangcheng's hand tightly, feeling both nervous and expectant.
She knew that the road ahead was full of unknowns, but they were prepared to meet all challenges.
"No matter what the future holds, with you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything," Qi Yushuang said softly.
Twilight City smiled and replied gently, "Don't worry, I will always protect you."
After a night of travel, they finally arrived at a small village outside the city.
As dawn broke, the morning light shone on the earth, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of damp earth.
Qi Yushuang and Mu Guangcheng exchanged a smile, as if they saw hope for the future.
