"Zhiyuan, even if you don't want me, you can't abandon our child!" He Xiangning clutched her stomach, her expression full of grievance.

Qin Zhiyuan was dumbfounded.

Is He Xiangning pregnant with his child?

He and Guo Yuelin have been married for three years, but they still don't have children. He is anxious about this and has seen doctors, but they say it's just that the time isn't right yet.

Who would have thought that Guo Yuelin hadn't gotten pregnant, while He Xiangning had his child so quickly?

"Are you telling the truth?" Qin Zhiyuan couldn't help but ask.

He Xiangning nodded repeatedly, "Of course it's true. How could I lie to you about something like this? I'm pregnant with your child, you can't just abandon us!"

At the same time, Chu Junting looked at the imperial physician in the crowd and said, "Imperial Physician Xu, come and take a look."

Physician Xu was treating the two princes. Now that the second prince's condition has stabilized, he came out and witnessed such a commotion.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

At this moment, as the imperial physicians came out, the Emperor, Consort Gao, and Consort Zhong also stepped out of the tent and saw everyone gathered together outside, creating a lively scene. They were unaware of what had happened.

The eunuch quickly stepped forward and recounted everything that had happened.

The Emperor frowned in displeasure. "General Qin has been impeached in court more than once. I told him to properly discipline his family, and this is how he disciplines them?"

"Your Majesty, this Miss Tang is the one you had your eye on before, right? Now this is..." Consort Zhong looked surprised, hesitating to speak.

The Empress's already unpleasant expression darkened further; she never expected Tang Xuening to do something so foolish!

The Emperor glanced at the Empress, but did not offend her. However, from her expression, the Empress understood that the Emperor was dissatisfied.

Seeing that even the Emperor had arrived, Qin Shuangshuang and the others were too frightened to utter a sound, fearing that the Emperor would blame them.

Seeing Physician Xu come to take her pulse, He Xiangning couldn't help but feel afraid. Once she was exposed, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to handle the situation. However, she didn't dare to object at the moment.

She subconsciously looked at Song Ruozhen, only to see the latter looking indifferent, as if she didn't care at all. Thinking about it carefully, her period really hadn't come yet.

Could it be... true?

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, this woman is indeed pregnant."

Physician Xu took her pulse and immediately realized it was a pregnancy pulse. It was still early, only a month had passed, so she was indeed pregnant.

As Physician Xu finished speaking, everyone was even more surprised. Not only had Qin Shuangshuang secretly arranged for He Xiangning and Qin Zhiyuan to have an affair, but she was also pregnant.

He Xiangning's eyes lit up with immense joy; she was saved!

With this child, the Qin family will definitely find a way to protect her!

Qin Zhiyuan's gaze unconsciously fell on He Xiangning's stomach. His initial disgust gradually changed. There was his child in her belly.

Qin Shuangshuang was dumbfounded. She never thought that He Xiangning would have the courage to seduce her older brother, let alone have a child. Doesn't that mean that He Xiangning will never leave the Qin family again?

She looked down on this idiot and only took him in temporarily out of necessity. Who would have thought that this scoundrel would be so audacious as to scheme against even her family!

If we let her stay, there will be endless trouble in the future!

Her relationship with her two older brothers was already strained, and He Xiangning knew too many of her secrets. What if they were all revealed later...?

"Zhiyuan, I'm truly innocent! You have to help me!"

He Xiangning immediately felt more confident. She had heard before that Qin Zhiyuan and Guo Yuelin had been married for three years without having children, and there were already rumors in the mansion that Guo Yuelin could not have children and therefore did not agree to take a concubine.

She simply refused to believe that Qin Zhiyuan wouldn't care!

This time, Qin Zhiyuan did not refuse. He Xiangning was not important, but the child in her belly could not be abandoned.

Seeing that Qin Zhiyuan was wavering, Qin Shuangshuang quickly said, "Big brother, please don't make a mistake!"

He Xiangning used to hang out with so many beggars, who knows if this child is yours? She probably doesn't even know herself!

“I used to consider He Xiangning a friend, so I always covered for her. Now that she has even schemed against my older brother, I am no longer willing to cover for her!”

Actually, she used to frequent brothels and do all sorts of dirty things. Now that she's out of support, she wants my older brother to be her sucker? What a joke!

Qin Shuangshuang's expression was resentful, somewhat ferocious, and smug like a petty person who had achieved their goal.

He Xiangning wanted to ruin her, and she was determined to make sure He Xiangning died without a burial place!

Lin Zhiyue looked at Qin Shuangshuang's unfamiliar face with an indescribable complex expression. All these years, Shuangshuang had always been gentle and lovely in his heart.

Not only is he gentle, but he is also kind. The reason why he has always been so fond of Shuangshuang is because when he was a child, he accidentally fell from a tree and broke his leg. It was Shuangshuang who found a doctor and sent him back home.

He remembered Shuangshuang's smiling face from childhood very clearly, and even though he didn't have the chance to see her again for several years, he still kept her name in his mind.

Later, when he grew up, he finally met Shuangshuang again and felt that she was still as wonderful as ever. He then made up his mind to pursue her and only wanted her to be his wife.

However, he did not expect that Shuangshuang would fall in love with the King of Chu and reject him, which is why he went to the battlefield heartbroken.

Fortunately, things took a turn for the better, and Shuangshuang agreed to be with him.

Looking at this face now, I feel that it is completely different from the face I had when I was a child.

It shouldn't be like this...

He Xiangning was furious upon hearing this slander, and seeing that Qin Zhiyuan also seemed to be beginning to have doubts, she quickly explained:

"Zhiyuan, I can guarantee that this child is yours!"

I was framed in Yong'an Lane that day, but I had no idea who framed me.

But I drank the contraceptive soup after I woke up that day. You can ask my mother if you don't believe me. Not only was she there, but other people also saw it and can testify for me!

Although Mrs. He was furious that day, she was still very clear that she could not leave any future troubles, as getting pregnant would only make matters worse!

Therefore, she specially asked a doctor to prepare a contraceptive soup that day, and even made He Xiangning take it in front of others, just to completely eliminate the possibility of pregnancy.

At the time, He Xiangning only felt that her mother was cruel to her, but she never expected that her mother would be of great help today.

“Besides, didn’t the doctor say I’m less than a month pregnant? The timing all matches up!” He Xiangning quickly said.

“Since I went to the Qin family, I have stayed in the manor almost every day and have not gone anywhere else. Zhiyuan, you know all this.”

Qin Zhiyuan calculated the time and confirmed that it was indeed the case. Moreover, he knew that He Xiangning felt ashamed and was actually not very willing to go out.

She had no money, so even if she went out, she couldn't buy anything. She even complained to him about this.

Thinking about this, Qin Zhiyuan was already certain that the child in He Xiangning's belly was his.
