Cui Ruixin didn't want to eat.

He was frowning, pondering how to refuse.

At this moment, Emerald, standing behind Yu Ningyao, added with a smile, "The old Marquis and the old lady have already tasted it and both praised it as delicious."

Yu Ningyao secretly gave Jade a thumbs up in her heart!

That's a divine assist!

Now Cui Ruixin had no choice but to eat.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Cui Ruixin forced a smile: "Since it's Yaoyao's thoughtfulness, then I'll give it a try."

Yu Ningyao was relieved to see her eat a piece of red bean cake laced with medicine.

Cui Ruixin certainly wouldn't let her deliver pastries to her two aunts, so she quickly headed back home.

As expected, after Yu Ningyao left, Cui Ruixin knocked the plate of red bean cakes to the ground.

"Who wants to eat this? Take it and feed it to the dogs."

"Yes," the maid replied, bending down to pick up the red bean cake and taking it to the backyard to feed the dogs.

Next, Yu Ningyao started counting the days on her fingers.

She wanted to know how the Marquis's household would react after Cui Ruixin became pregnant.

Qingming Festival is here in the blink of an eye.

After paying respects to their ancestors, the people of the Marquis's mansion planned to go out for a spring outing.

While the family was eating together, Cui Ruixin looked at the steamed fish on the table and suddenly felt nauseous.

She smelled the odor and immediately gagged.

"Mrs. Cui, are you pregnant?" The old lady asked, looking at her symptoms that resembled morning sickness.

Before Cui Ruixin could answer, Yu Kangping jumped up.

"Impossible, we haven't had sex in a long time."

Cui Ruixin's face turned pale and then red in an instant.

The Marquis actually revealed such a private matter.

Last time, she used the fact that Weiwei had been accepted as a disciple by Master Qiuyue to invite the Marquis to her room, and the two of them had a few days of sweet intimacy.

But a few days later, they had another argument because of Chunying.

The Marquis, having suffered mistreatment at Chunying's hands, took it out on her. Drunk, he insisted on forcing her to please him.

She naturally refused.

She's not some prostitute from a brothel; she's the mistress of a marquis's mansion. Why should she be treated like that?

So the two started fighting on the bed.

She kicked the Marquis in the stomach, almost hitting his genitals.

The Marquis's face turned pale with anger.

Both of them were at fault in this matter.

To save face, the two agreed not to tell anyone and even ordered the servants guarding outside to shut up.

Therefore, the news of this matter did not spread beyond the main house's courtyard.

The two then went through a cold war.

She wanted to back down, but Chunying was more pragmatic than her.

They won over the Marquis's heart first.

Now, the Marquis takes turns favoring Chunying and her sister every night, just to give her a respectable appearance by returning to her room once a month on the first day of the month.

But the two of them just lay there, doing nothing.

The room fell silent after Yu Kangping said this.

Shen Jinzhu blushed with embarrassment.

These are matters that should be kept private between husband and wife; there's no need to discuss them in front of so many people.

There are children here too.

The old lady never expected that the two of them hadn't shared a room for so long.

She clearly heard that her eldest son had indeed been to Cui's room.

After a long silence, Cui Ruixin couldn't hold it in and continued to gag.

"Since you're feeling so unwell, let's get a doctor to take a look," the old lady ordered.

Cui Ruixin endured the nausea and continued eating.

The doctor arrived just as we were finishing our meal.

After taking her pulse, the doctor smiled and said, "Congratulations, Madam, you are pregnant."

"What?" Cui Ruixin and Yu Kangping exclaimed at the same time.

"You shameless woman, you actually cheated on me with someone else behind my back." Yu Kangping raised his hand and slapped Cui Ruixin across the face.

Cui Ruixin's head was buzzing from the blow.

She hadn't yet recovered from the shock she had just experienced.

How could she possibly be pregnant?

This is impossible!

Yu Ningyao covered her mouth and laughed.

Oh wow, the show is about to begin.

Now Cui Ruixin shouldn't have time to cause trouble for their third branch of the family.

Yu Kangjing and Shen Jinzhu exchanged a glance, realizing that something serious had happened.

"Let's go, Ziying, didn't you say you wanted to take your sister to fly kites?" Shen Jinzhu quickly led the child away.

What happened next was beyond their knowledge.

"Okay, let's fly the kite!" Yu Ziying had been looking forward to it for a long time, and immediately took Yu Ningyao's hand and ran outside.

"Little sister, I've picked out a really pretty kite for you. I'm sure you'll love it!"

Shen Jinzhu quickly smiled apologetically at the old lady: "Mother, that child was playful and left without bowing to you. Your daughter-in-law will go and discipline him right away."

After saying that, she pulled her eldest and second sons away.

Yu Kangjing also had no intention of getting involved in the affairs of the eldest son's family.

Last time, he interfered out of kindness, almost causing a rift between the couple and losing his innocence.

He must not repeat the same mistake this time.

So he chimed in, "Father, Mother, your son will go with them to fly kites first. After all, the child has been looking forward to it for a long time."

The old Marquis and his wife are too busy to deal with them right now.

"let's go."

Yu Ziyuan was very agitated when he saw his father hit his mother, and stepped forward to stand in front of his mother.

"Father, how could you lay a hand on Mother?!"

"What are you standing there for? Quickly take the young master and the others away!" The old lady was furious.

How can we let a child hear about something like this?

"I'm not leaving, I want to stay with my mother," Yu Ziyuan protested.

"Ziyuan, let's go." The eldest son, Yu Ziche, had already sensed something was wrong from his parents' conversation.

If the two did not have intercourse, but the mother was pregnant.

That's only one possibility.

That means the mother had an affair.

This was an utter disgrace to them.

When they go out into the world, they will never be able to hold their heads high.

He quickly helped his grandmother's maid pull his younger brother away.

After all her grandchildren had left, the old lady slammed her hand on the table and said angrily, "Tell me, Cui, whose child is this bastard in your belly?"

"I'm not. He must have made a mistake. I can't possibly be pregnant!!!" Cui Rui cried out desperately to defend herself.

She then looked angrily and flusteredly at the doctor Liu who had been invited.

"You made a wrong diagnosis!!!"

Doctor Liu had overheard the entire argument between the two men, so he could easily guess what had happened.

The woman before me had an affair with another man and was pregnant with his illegitimate child.

His congratulations came way too early.

He quickly forced an embarrassed smile: "Perhaps I'm not skilled enough and made a mistake."

“Yes, you must be mistaken. I haven’t slept with anyone else, how could I possibly be pregnant?” Cui Ruixin’s voice was extremely firm.

"Then do it again!" Yu Kangping was furious, staring intently at Doctor Liu.

The old lord and his wife, their faces ashen, demanded that he take their pulse again.

Dr. Liu had no choice but to comply.

This time, he took the pulse for even longer.

He was quite certain that this was the pulse of a woman who was pregnant.

He might not be able to produce results in a month, but these signs are clearly from two months ago.

But in this situation, can he tell the truth?

Dr. Liu was very worried.
