The people in the reception pavilion were all startled. No one had expected that at this important juncture, Madam Du would actually turn out pregnant.
She had fainted at the entrance, making people believe it was caused by her anxious mind, but nobody had supposed it was pregnancy. Presently, the doctor diagnosed her, and she was indeed pregnant, just a month and a half in.
The old madam was the first to react, asking the doctor: “How is it, is the fetus healthy?”
The doctor nodded, “Only a little nausea. I just gave the fifth madam a prescription. Let her take it for several days, everything will go smoothly.”
The old madam nodded, looked at her youngest son Wei Kun, and suddenly didn’t know what to say to him.
Not only was Madam Du pregnant, the fetus was also doing well. While everyone was deliberating whether to keep her in the family or not, she was unexpectedly with child. If they sent her back to Count Zhongyi’s residence at this point, the Count’s family would bear a grudge against them, and Duke Ying’s reputation would also suffer a huge blow.
This divorce, regrettably, couldn’t be carried out immediately. They had to take it as slow as possible.
The old madam was ready to convince Wei Kun to take the whole situation into account, but he suddenly stood up from the armchair and shot out of the reception pavilion like a gust of wind, heading for the rear court.
