The Eldest Daughter Returns: Imperial Uncle, I'm Pregnant!

“Miss, I didn’t expect you to have grown into such a beautiful young lady. I wonder if you still remember me? When Madam was still alive, I brought you here for a short stay.”

Gu Qingwan didn't respond, her eyes lowered as if she was thinking about something. Seeing that Gu Qingwan didn't intend to pay attention to him, the man started talking to himself.

“Young Miss, this old servant has done his best, even if he has not done anything meritorious. Even if my son and grandson have made mistakes, please forgive them this time for the sake of this old servant.”

“You were my mother’s wet nurse, and everyone remembers your contributions. To be honest, I also considered this, which is why I didn’t lock you in the woodshed as well. If you really want to share joys and sorrows with your children and grandchildren, I am naturally willing to grant your wish.”

"Old lady..."

"There's no need to use my maternal grandmother to pressure me. Now that I've made the decision here, I won't cause any further trouble."

Seeing that Gu Qingwan was unyielding, the wet nurse stopped trying to be subservient and tapped the cane in her hand.

"Hmph, Miss, aren't you afraid that if word gets out, people will say you're arrogant? You're still unmarried, after all. You should let the Prime Minister's wife or Old Madam Ning handle this." What unmarried daughter doesn't care about her reputation? This young lady is no exception. She thinks she can deal with them? How naive!

"Reputation?" Gu Qingwan looked at the wet nurse in front of her, who she thought had her figured out. She thought to herself that this woman was actually bringing up the Prime Minister's wife. If she didn't mention it, there would still be a sliver of hope. But if she did, it would be telling me that they were colluding with her.

Gu Qingwan sneered, "Whether I have a good reputation or not is not important. What is important is that I can guarantee that your children and grandchildren will die before my reputation."

The wet nurse was stunned. This young lady looked so soft and cuddly when she was little, how could she have become so formidable when she grew up? Now that her grandson was still in her hands, she couldn't push him too far, so the wet nurse softened her attitude.

"Young Miss, I at least held you when you were a child..."

"I'm tired of carrying the zither. Let's pack up and go rest."

“Yes, Miss, we can’t stay in the backyard. I just saw that the bamboo grove in the side courtyard is quite nice. Why don’t we stay there?” Baoqin replied after looking around.

"Okay." After saying that, Gu Qingwan got up and prepared to leave. "Ruhua, help this mother to the room in the backyard for a while. We'll talk about it when things are looking up. Make sure she's well-fed and well-treated in the meantime. Don't mistreat her."

"Yes," Ru Hua replied softly, suppressing a smile.

That old hag, relying on her status as a former wet nurse, actually puts on airs for their eldest daughter. What a shameless person she is! She should go live in that filthy place of her grandson's. That would be perfect.

"Young Miss! This old servant..."

Gu Qingwan left directly this time; it was a waste of breath to talk to someone like that.

No one dared to cause any more trouble or say anything. Ning Er locked the whole family in the woodshed. The woodshed was already small and cluttered with miscellaneous items, and now it was even more crowded. Liu Yuan's wife was crying and wailing as she hugged Liu Jin.

"What are you doing, wailing?! I'm not dead yet!" Liu Yuan slapped the woman in a fit of rage.

The woman was so frightened that she sat on the pile of firewood, covering her face and sobbing softly, too afraid to speak.

"Father! We can't just sit here and wait to die!" Liu Jin said, enduring the pain.

Seeing his son's pained expression, Liu Yuan wanted to scold him but couldn't bring himself to do so, so he could only ask, "How are you feeling?"

"My son is alright, he can hold on. I didn't expect that little bitch to have so much strength. He'll be fine in a bit."

"Yeah, if we were handed over to the authorities, we'd all be dead. I never expected to be caught by this little girl," Liu Yuan said bitterly.

"Father, otherwise, let's go all the way!" Liu Jin's eyes darted around as he made a killing gesture.

"That's all."

The wet nurse, who had been locked in the room where Liu Jin had just been, was dumbfounded when she entered. The scene was a complete mess and disgusting. She knew what her grandson's fetish was, but seeing these filthy utensils made her so angry that she almost lost her mind.

"Get me a different room."

"Oh, this is the only room. You and your family just want to live in the main house, so why not move in here openly and honestly? If you don't want to live here, then you can go stay in the jail."

"you!"

“If you think this room is dirty, then clean it up. Only when it’s clean can the master move in, right?” Ru Hua said sarcastically from the doorway. “Oh, I almost forgot. You’ve been living a life of luxury for so many years that you’ve almost forgotten how to be a servant and clean a room. It’s alright, you can practice more.”

After saying that, Ru Hua ignored her and turned to find Gu Qingwan. She didn't want to be with such a person at all. If she grew old and became like that, she would definitely tell the young lady to find someone to beat her to death, so as not to embarrass the Ning family.

-------------------------------------

It started raining at night, and Gu Qingwan couldn't sleep well at all because she was in an unfamiliar place.

With a thud, the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground was heard. Gu Qingwan immediately opened her eyes; her fears were indeed correct—someone had arrived.

Gu Qingwan tiptoed out of bed, put on her outer robe, and went to the small couch in the outer room to wake up Siqi, who was on night watch. She covered Siqi's mouth and said, "Shh, it's me."

Once Siqi recognized her, Gu Qingwan released her mouth. She pointed to the shoes, indicating that Siqi should put them on, and then pointed to the figure outside the window. The person seemed to be blowing sleeping pills into the room. Gu Qingwan picked up two handkerchiefs and covered her and Siqi's mouths and noses respectively.

A moment later, they heard the man holding a knife, preparing to knock on the door latch. Gu Qingwan gave Siqi a look, and Siqi gritted her teeth, rolled up her sleeves, and quietly walked to the door. She picked up a vase and waited there. As soon as the man came in, Siqi suddenly smashed it on the man's head.

Liu Jin, who was also skilled in martial arts, dodged the vase, which just barely hit his shoulder, causing him to wince in pain and drop the knife from his hand.

"This little wench is so ruthless!"

"You have the guts to come here after eating bear's heart and leopard's gall!" Siqi shouted loudly.

After saying that, Siqi stepped forward and began to fight with him. Siqi was worried that her young lady would force him to retreat into the courtyard.

As Baoqin and the others tidied their clothes, they walked towards Gu Qingwan's location, surrounding her in the middle.

Seeing that someone had come to help, Siqi became even more courageous. Since she didn't have a suitable weapon, she pulled out her hairpin and stabbed it into the man's neck with all her strength and speed.

Liu Jin never expected that this young lady would know martial arts. When he realized what was happening, he instinctively attacked her lower body, but Siqi ducked and jumped back a few steps, causing the man's attack to miss.

Liu Jin was not pleased. He turned around and saw Gu Qingwan standing under the eaves at the door with a smile on her face. The smile made him feel a little dazed. No wonder people say that a beauty is like a lamp.

At that moment, Siqi kicked him so hard he couldn't get up.

"With such mediocre skills, you think you can kill us? You might as well just kill yourself!" Siqi kicked Liu Jin, who was lying on the ground.

Ning Yi, who was outside, heard the commotion and rushed over. He was shocked to see that someone had managed to sneak into the inner courtyard right under his nose. It was a real slap in the face for them.

"What are you all standing there for! Tie them up!" Ning Yi stood in front of Gu Qingwan to protect her.

"Young Miss, I have failed in my duty!" Ning Yi knelt on the ground.

"It's alright. Take him to the authorities. Take Liu Yuan's whole family with you; send them along with the murderer of the master."

“Miss is too kind. Such a thing should be beaten to death by family discipline!” Baoqin said.
