To divorce his wife, the top scholar preferred being cuckolded to wearing a red hat.

The Fu family prepared a separate courtyard for the relatives who brought Su Ziyu back. They ate and drank in another courtyard, separate from the other guests.

If it weren't for one of Su Ziyu's cousins ​​wanting to go find Su Ziyu and running to tell Su's mother after hearing that Su Ziyu had fainted, Su's mother would still be unaware of the situation.

As soon as she arrived, she heard the foul language coming from Qian's mouth, which made her so angry that her nose almost twisted.

Who is this person? With so many guests here, he can say anything.

"Whether it's nonsense or not, you can ask the doctor yourself. The doctor said that she..."

Before Qian could finish speaking, Su's mother had someone cover Qian's mouth to prevent her from speaking again.

Then, looking apologetically at everyone, she said, "I'm sorry to have made you all laugh. My mother-in-law comes from the countryside, so her way of speaking might be a bit rough. Ziyu has been busy with the wedding preparations lately and has been working very hard. She probably fainted because she was too tired. I came to check on her. Please eat and drink well. As for those unfounded rumors, they are definitely not true. Please don't spread them. I don't want you to spread those things, and I believe my husband thinks the same way I do."

After finishing her speech, Su's mother smiled and glanced around the room.

The guests chimed in, "Mrs. Su, we were so busy drinking that we didn't hear anything clearly. Since Miss Su isn't feeling well, you should go and see her. Don't worry about us; we'll take care of ourselves and won't say anything out of line."

Listening to everyone's words, Su's mother made up her mind. She turned around and followed the servants to where Su Ziyu had fainted.

In the past, Su Ziyu was being held in Fu Jingsheng's arms, and she had already woken up.

Fu Jingsheng also heard what the doctor said.

It's true that she's two months pregnant.

As for whether it was his or not, Fu Jingsheng had no idea.

He had that kind of relationship with Su Ziyu, but only once. After the marriage was arranged, he didn't dare to be presumptuous again.

If you think about it, it was only a little over a month ago.

Therefore, he needs to find a reliable person to ask whether Su Ziyu's child is considered his under these circumstances.

“Ziyu.” Mother Su was wearing a dark red dress, and her hair was adorned with jade hairpins and other ornaments that symbolized her status.

Her dress swayed as she reached Su Ziyu's bedside, her voice full of pity: "Why did you suddenly faint? Didn't I tell you to eat some pastries before we left?"

"I have no appetite, I can't eat," Su Ziyu shook her head.

Su's mother glanced at Fu Jingsheng, and remembering Qian's words, she felt a surge of anger.

What kind of family did Ziyu marry into? That rural lady speaks so recklessly; she's trying to kill Ziyu!

"Son-in-law, you and Ziyu have already completed your wedding ceremony, so you are now a real couple. Our Ziyu was a respectable young lady from a prominent family before. If it weren't for your cousin's schemes, she wouldn't have had anything happen between you before the wedding. Now that she is pregnant, it's a double blessing for you and for the Fu family. Don't you think so?"

Fu Jingsheng bowed and said, "Mother-in-law is right. Don't worry, Madam is pregnant now, so we will put her first in all matters at home and won't let her be bullied in the mansion."

"That sounds nice. If I hadn't come, your mother would probably have been saying all this outside. She even tried to slander my son's innocence. On the very first day of the wedding, your mother-in-law was already making up stories about her daughter-in-law. What kind of talk is that? You need to have a serious talk with your mother. If you can't control her mouth, you should just go back to the countryside to avoid causing trouble for you and Ziyu in the future."

Su's mother was able to rise from a concubine to the position of the matriarch of the Su family, which certainly shows that she had some methods.
