Sitting at this table were not only the old lady, Yu Qiaoqiao and the second aunt. Although they were all female members of the family, they had never sat together to dine. No one knew what had happened today that brought them together.

"Grandma, mother-in-law, is there any happy event in the Marquis' Mansion?" Yu Wangfei asked tentatively.

"Try this first." Mrs. Gu picked up a plate of pastries and placed it in front of Yu Wangfei.

Yu Wangfei picked up the pastry, looked at it carefully, and then took a bite.

With so many people present, she was not afraid that Madam Gu would drug her.

"I called you here today to tell you something." Madam Gu turned the Buddhist beads in her hand, "Qiaoqiao is pregnant. The biological mother of Baizhou's child cannot be a concubine, so we are thinking of promoting Qiaoqiao to be a co-wife. This is also the status we promised to give Qiaoqiao before."

Yu Wangfei was shocked when she heard this. She subconsciously glanced at Yu Qiaoqiao, unable to believe that she was pregnant.

In her previous life, Yu Qiaoqiao had never gotten pregnant with Gu Baizhou's child, so why did she suddenly get pregnant in this life?

Wait, wasn’t Gu Baizhou’s family cut off by Yunhua? How did Yu Qiaoqiao get pregnant?

"But my husband is not..." Yu Wangfei asked puzzledly.

"Yesterday, we invited a court doctor to treat Qiaoqiao's injuries, and he diagnosed that Qiaoqiao has been pregnant for more than a month." Mrs. Gu was a little excited.

Originally, she thought that the eldest branch of the Gu family had been destroyed by Gu Baizhou. After all, Gu Baizhou had lost the ability to reproduce. But when she heard the news that Yu Qiaoqiao was pregnant this morning, she was so happy that she almost fainted.

Although Yu Wangfei had lynched Qiaoqiao yesterday and she wanted to arrest him and question him, Madam Gu's words forced her to suppress the idea of ​​lynching Yu Wangfei.

Everyone knew that it was Gu Baizhou who personally kidnapped Yu Qiaoqiao and gave her to Yu Wangfei yesterday. Besides, Yu Wangfei was now pregnant with Chu Yuheng's child, so they couldn't do anything to her.

Since he couldn't do anything, he had to try to please her so that Yu Wangfei could accept Yu Qiaoqiao as his co-wife.

"Then congratulations, sister." Yu Wangfei's smile froze on her face.

She actually got pregnant before Gu Baizhou was pregnant.

"Sister, you're joking. I just want to leave a child for Bai Zhou." Yu Qiaoqiao lowered her head, not daring to look Yu Wangfei in the eye.

"But you have to be careful with your sister's pregnancy. If she hasn't given birth after ten months, or if something unexpected happens in the meantime..." Yu Wangfei stared at Yu Qiaoqiao tentatively.

"Don't worry, sister. I will take good care of this child."

"Or I'll ask the prince to invite a royal doctor to take care of my sister's health."

"No need to trouble Your Majesty, I have the palace doctor who is more than enough."

Yu Wangfei was very surprised. Yu Qiaoqiao seemed like a different person today. She had completely lost her previous temper. Could it be that he scared her yesterday? But that was impossible.

"Yu, what do you think about the issue of having a co-wife?" Mrs. Gu asked.

After all, Yu Qiaoqiao is Gu Baizhou's only flesh and blood, and the only heir to the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion, so they will never allow the child's mother to be a concubine.

If they could divorce Yu Wangfei, they would have wanted to demote Yu Wangfei to a concubine and make Yu Qiaoqiao the only legal wife.

"Why are you so anxious, sister?" The second aunt did not look happy.

When Gu Baizhou lost his roots, Gu Baili was the only heir in the entire Gu family who could produce offspring. But now Yu Qiaoqiao was suddenly pregnant. If the baby was a boy, they would never have a chance to succeed.

"Mother-in-law, you should discuss this with the Marquis." Yu Wangfei did not respond.

On the contrary, she stood up and walked to Yu Qiaoqiao, wanting to take the opportunity to take her pulse.

When Yu Qiaoqiao saw her coming towards her, she quickly stood up and hid behind Madam Gu: "Grandma, I'm scared."

"What are you doing, sister? I just want to come and congratulate you." Yu Wangfei stopped.

"Don't be afraid, grandma is here, no one dares to attack you." Old Madam Gu patted Yu Qiaoqiao's arm, with murderous intent in her eyes.

When she saw Yu Qiaoqiao's look yesterday, she wanted to kill Yu Wangfei, but she was afraid of Chu Yuheng's revenge, so she forced herself to swallow her anger.

Seeing Yu Qiaoqiao being so afraid of Yu Wangfei today, he became even more determined to make Yu Qiaoqiao his legal wife.

Yu Wangfei knew that Yu Qiaoqiao was protected by Old Madam Gu, so she couldn't do anything at the moment and could only sit back.

The reason why Yu Qiaoqiao pretended to be docile was simply to get the protection of Old Madam Gu.

From what she saw last night when Gu Baizhou tied her up without any emotion and gave her to Yu Wangfei to humiliate her, she knew that Gu Baizhou was unreliable. If no one protected her in this mansion, she would probably experience the same humiliation as last night.

That's why she chose to show weakness and let Madam Gu see his gentle and lovely side.

"The Marquis thinks so too." Madam Gu said with a smile, her eyes always on Yu Wangfei.

"The baby in my belly hasn't even been born yet, and you want to promote my sister to the position of wife. I'm afraid the prince won't agree." Yu Wangfei had no intention of helping the adulterous couple.

The reason why he easily agreed to let Yu Qiaoqiao come in last time was because Yu Wangfei had originally planned to make Yu Qiaoqiao a concubine.

But this time, Yu Qiaoqiao wanted to take the position of co-wife by relying on the child in her belly, and she would not agree no matter what.

"As long as you agree, everything else is easy." Mrs. Gu looked at Yu Wangfei with a smile.

In fact, they could have just promoted Yu Qiaoqiao to be their co-wife without telling Yu Wangfei. The reason they chose to discuss it with Yu Wangfei was because they were worried that Yu Wangfei would go and complain to Chu Yuheng, or come and cause trouble before the wedding day.

"Then I don't agree." Yu Wangfei stood up, "Mother-in-law already knows my attitude, daughter-in-law, take your leave."

There is no point in saying more. Yu Wangfei knows that even if she says she disagrees, they will try their best to make Yu Qiaoqiao a co-wife.

"Bitch!" Mrs. Gu could no longer suppress the anger in her heart and cursed at Yu Wangfei as she left.

When the second aunt saw Yu Wangfei leaving, she quickly stood up and followed him out.

"Young Madam." The second aunt trotted a few steps.

When Yu Wangfei saw the aunt from the second house come out with him, he guessed that the aunt from the second house wanted to take action against Qiaoqiao.

After all, Gu Baili is now considered the heir to the Marquis' Mansion. If Yu Qiaoqiao had not given birth to a child, Gu Baili would sooner or later become the head of the Gu family.

"I want to talk to the young lady about something. Can we move over and talk in detail?" The second aunt was very respectful.

"I know what you mean, aunt." Yu Wangfei stopped walking, "But aunt, it's still unknown whether my sister is really pregnant. Only a pulse diagnosis by a palace doctor is not reliable. Aunt still wants to persuade grandma to be more careful and not confuse the bloodline of the Gu family."
