After being reborn, I hugged the villainous boss tightly.

"Miss, there's news!"

Seeing He Ye's excitement, Ye Zhuxi was momentarily speechless.

"Miss, Ye Fuyao really couldn't hold back anymore. She's actually secretly seeing men behind Mu Zichen's back!"

Ye Zhuxi was somewhat surprised; when did Ye Fuyao become so bold?

However, upon further reflection, she understood. Given Zhang Lingyue's personality, Ye Fuyao probably lived in constant fear. Now that Mu Zichen was unreliable, she was forced to find a way out for herself.

"How is Ye Fuyao now?"

Lotus Leaf whispered in her ear, "I heard she's pregnant!"

"Is the news reliable?"

"Of course, it was Dr. Zhang who told me that Ye Fuyao is already two months pregnant!"

He Ye thought for a moment, then continued, "I only found out because I had someone staking out the back gate of the Mu residence. Ye Fuyao and the others found an old woman to act as a cover!"

"An old woman?"

Ye Zhu frowned, suddenly remembering what happened on the night of her wedding to Fu Jingyuan. At that time, the man said that an old woman had told her to do it.

"Lotus Leaf, continue to inquire about the old woman's situation. Remember, the more details the better."

Lotus Leaf: "I understand!"

……

Inside the Mu residence.

Upon learning that Ye Fuyao was pregnant, Madam Mu happily held her hand and kept looking at her.

"Yaoyao, you've worked so hard!" Mu Zichen smiled in a long time.

Looking at the happy man in front of her, Ye Zhuxi secretly curled her lips and said sarcastically: Mu Zichen, you have let me down. You deserve not to have your own child.

Ye Fuyao initially thought she could take her pregnancy slowly, but she had to endure Zhang Lingyue's beatings and scoldings every day, as well as Mu's mother's sarcastic remarks. How could she not hate it?

Since Mu Zichen was the one who wronged her first, then she couldn't be blamed.

Thinking of this, Ye Fuyao weakly hugged Mu Zichen's leaning body, glanced fearfully at Zhang Lingyue who wanted to devour her alive, and shrank weakly into the man's arms.

"..."

Mu Zichen noticed that Ye Fuyao's body was trembling. He looked up and saw Zhang Lingyue staring fiercely at the woman in his arms.

"Don't be afraid!" Mu Zichen patted her back reassuringly.

Ye Fuyao raised her eyes, cautiously meeting Zhang Lingyue's gaze, and said weakly, "Brother Mu, I am now carrying the Mu family's child. Can I make a small request?"

"..."

Mu Zichen glanced at his silent mother, and seeing that she didn't object, he nodded: "Okay!"

"I want my sister to take care of me and the baby so I can focus on my pregnancy!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingyue glared at her fiercely: "Ye Fuyao, don't push your luck!"

This child was the precious treasure that Mu's mother had always cherished. Although she disliked Ye Fuyao, she still felt sorry for her grandson.

Mu's mother stopped Zhang Lingyue, who was about to rush up and hit someone, and agreed.

"Lingyue can take care of you, but you have to be careful and don't drop my precious grandson!"

Zhang Lingyue found it hard to believe that she, a young lady from a wealthy family, would have to serve a concubine.

She grabbed her mother defiantly, saying, "Mother, how can this be!"

Mother Mu shook her head secretly at her and quickly pulled her outside.

“Zichen has been married for a long time without having children, and people downstairs have started to say that he has health problems. Now that Ye Fuyao is finally pregnant, it's a good time to dispel these rumors. You should also think about your husband!”

"..."

Seeing that Zhang Lingyue had taken it to heart, Mother Mu continued, "After Ye Fuyao gives birth to a child, if it is a boy, then I will arrange for her to give the child to you to raise. Isn't this also your child?"

Zhang Lingyue bit her lip, reluctantly nodding, "I understand!"

In the days that followed, Ye Fuyao, taking advantage of her pregnancy, often ordered Zhang Lingyue around.

Zhang Lingyue was fast asleep when she was suddenly shaken awake by her maid. She opened her sleepy eyes and said, "You'd better really have something to say, or I'll slash your face!"

The young maid shrank back after being scolded and said cautiously, "The Second Madam has a stomachache, and the Old Madam wants you to go and take a look."

"That meddlesome bitch!"

Zhang Lingyue stormed into Ye Fuyao's room and saw her leisurely drinking tea. She angrily walked over and knocked the tea out of her hand.

"Didn't you say you were going to die? Are you just toying with me?"

Ye Fuyao smiled and glanced disdainfully at Zhang Lingyue, whose face was flushed with anger: "My stomach did hurt a little just now, but it doesn't hurt anymore. I'm sorry to have made you come all this way for nothing!"

"Ye Fuyao, are you looking for a beating?!" Zhang Lingyue's eyes widened, her chest heaving with anger.

She raised her hand to strike Ye Fuyao, but Mu Zichen, who had just walked in, grabbed her wrist.

Mu Zichen's face darkened: "Zhang Lingyue, what are you doing?"

"Of course I'm here to teach that bitch Ye Fuyao a lesson! How dare she play me!" Zhang Lingyue glared at Ye Fuyao.

Upon hearing this, Mu Zichen shoved her away.

“Zhang Lingyue, I know you’ve always been arrogant and domineering, but can’t you even consider the situation? Yao Yao is pregnant, how dare you hit her?”

Seeing Ye Fuyao's current gentle and weak appearance, completely different from when she came in, Zhang Lingyue instantly realized that she was deliberately trying to make Mu Zichen misunderstand her.

Zhang Lingyue gritted her teeth and comforted herself not to get angry.

Ye Fuyao snuggled into Mu Zichen's arms, raised an eyebrow provocatively at the furious Zhang Lingyue, and curled her lips slightly.

Seeing this, Zhang Lingyue was furious. She had always been a hot-tempered person and had never suffered such humiliation before. Without thinking, she slapped Ye Fuyao's annoying face.

This was exactly the effect Ye Fuyao wanted. She immediately looked at Mu Zichen with teary eyes and began to shed tears, feigning grievance.

"Brother Mu"

Mu Zichen's bones went weak at the sound of her calling him "Brother Mu," and he tenderly touched her reddened face.

He then slapped Zhang Lingyue hard across the face.

"roll!"

Zhang Lingyue was stunned for a long time after being hit for the first time. After she came to her senses, tears fell down her face. She threw a sentence at Mu Zichen: "Just you wait!" and then turned around and ran away.

Zhang Lingyue went straight back to her parents' home this time.

After He Ye returned and told Ye Zhuxi, she smiled.

"This Ye Fuyao is really bold, daring to offend even the daughter of Duke Zhang!"

Lotus Leaf nodded: "Yes, just because she's pregnant she thinks she's fearless!"

Ye Zhuxi touched her swollen belly: "How's the investigation going?"

"It took me a lot of effort to find out that the old woman was Ye Fuyao's maternal grandmother, and she was the one who found a man for Ye Fuyao!"

"Have you found out who that man is?"

He Ye nodded: "I found out. He's a small-time hoodlum from Ye Fuyao's hometown. I heard he used to like her, but Ye Fuyao rejected him when he proposed!"

Ye Zhuxi pursed her lips.

Lotus Leaf: "Miss, what should we do next?"

"Let Ye Fuyao enjoy herself for now, I'm afraid I'll ruin her life if I play her too hard!"
