At that point, she was only about twenty days pregnant. Zhang Xiaohui herself did not realize, but Gu Qingyao knew.

She had been observing Zhang Xiaohui for the past few days!

In order to understand what was going on in the Zhang family, she often went over in the middle of the night to eavesdrop on them. It was during one of these nightly eavesdropping sessions that she found out that the Zhang family wanted Zhang Xiaohui to get a divorce.

Anyway, she had the interspace, so she was not worried that someone would discover her.historical

That night, she secretly took Zhang Xiaohui’s pulse, and realized that Zhang Xiaohui was already pregnant!

Gu Qingyao was so startled she immediately went to make up a dose of the best medicine that would ensure a safe pregnancy. Then Gu Qingyao knocked Zhang Xiaohui out and poured the entire dose down her throat.

At that point, Old Madam Zhang was making Zhang Xiaohui work hard every day. What if the baby was harmed?

She must be a “filial” daughter and ensure the child’s safety!

She also gave Zhang Xiaohui a little something so that she would immediately show signs typical of early pregnancy. She was not yet showing any signs of pregnancy, so Gu Qingyao was not sure when she would realize she was pregnant!

Gu Qingyao did not want to wait any longer!

She came home, very pleased with herself.

The next morning, Zhang Xiaohui slept until it was very late. She usually woke up at dawn to do her chores and the Zhang family would wait for her to finish cooking breakfast before they got up.

But today, there was no sign of movement for a long time.

Old Madam Zhang and her three daughters-in-law came over to take a look. They were furious when they found Zhang Xiaohui still in bed!

“Bitch, what time is it? You’re still lying in bed? Do you want your mother to starve to death?”

Old Madam Zhang rushed over and dragged Zhang Xiaohui out of bed.

At that moment, Zhang Xiaohui was dizzy and her entire body felt languid. She swayed a little and was immediately overwhelmed with nausea. She hurriedly covered her mouth and ran outside, where she vomited all over the ground.

But this was the first time, and the Zhang family did not think much about it. They chivvied Zhang Xiaohui to cook, do the laundry, sweep the yard and so on.

Zhang Xiaohui was kept busy all morning, then cooked in the afternoon. She vomited again when everyone was eating!

This time, she almost fainted.

Only then did everyone realize that something was amiss with Zhang Xiaohui.

“What’s the matter with you?”

Zhang Xiaohui did not reply. She felt rather dull!

Because this feeling was very similar to how she felt when she was pregnant with Gu Ruoqing!

Could it be that she was pregnant again?

With Wang Guozhu’s child?

Old Madam Zhang paid close attention to matters related to childbearing. When she was young, she had difficulties bearing children. Although she had four children later on, she had found it difficult to get pregnant at first, so she was very sensitive to these matters.

Later on, when her sons got married, their wives either failed to get pregnant, or suffered from miscarriages. So she paid even closer attention. As a result, she was the first to think of pregnancy when she saw Zhang Xiaohui’s behavior.

She went to look for Zhang Xiaohui immediately after her meal.

“How many months has it been since your last period?”

Zhang Xiaohui was taken aback, but she understood her mother’s meaning.

“I.. I had my period last month. This month’s period.. should come within the next few days, but.. but it hasn’t come yet!”

Gu Yunshen had left two months ago. Based on the timing, if she was really pregnant, then the child definitely did not belong to Gu Yunshen.

Zhang Xiaohui in particular was certain that the child did not belong to Gu Yunshen.

Because Gu Yunshen had never touched her, even after so many years of marriage.

The year that she was pregnant with Gu Ruoqing, she had sought Wang Guozhu’s help to find some alcohol to get Gu Yunshen drunk. Then she pretended that something had happened between them. That was how she had concealed the origins of her pregnancy!

Now she was pregnant again, the child definitely belonged to Wang Guozhu!

When Old Madam Zhang heard that, she said, “In that case, you better divorce Gu Yunshen quickly!”
