Chapter 389 Zhou Lingyi is pregnant
Yongning Earl's Mansion.
"What did you say! I'm pregnant?" Zhou Lingyi exclaimed.
When Mrs. Lin heard that Zhou Lingyi was vomiting non-stop, she asked a doctor to come to her house for a checkup. Worried about her daughter's health, she rushed over. As soon as she reached the door, she heard these words and was immediately shocked.
He was not careful for a moment and was almost knocked down by the threshold. Fortunately, he was helped by Aunt Gui beside him.
But she didn't care about all this at the moment. She shook off Aunt Gui's hand, walked up to the doctor, and started scolding him.
"You quack! How dare you slander my daughter with such nonsense! How could she be pregnant when she's not even married yet?"
"Who told you to say that? Tell the truth! Otherwise, I will skin you alive and tear your tendons apart!"
When the doctor heard this, he was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy, "Madam! What I said is true. Your daughter has been pregnant for more than a month. If you don't believe me, you can ask another doctor to take her pulse and you will know that what I said is true!"
"How is this possible! Stop spreading rumors and misleading people! Someone, come here!"
Before Lin could order someone to kick him out, a trembling voice came from the side, "I... I'm actually pregnant!"
Unlike Lin's anger, Zhou Lingyi's voice contained a hint of surprise.
Her hand slowly stroked her lower abdomen, her movements were extremely light and gentle, as if if she pressed a little harder, the child would disappear. Her face was filled with the joy of being a new mother.
How could Mrs. Lin not understand her own daughter? Seeing her overjoyed look, her heart skipped a beat and she immediately winked at Nanny Gui.
Nanny Gui understood and personally helped the doctor up, saying with a smile, "Our lady and young lady have a few private words to discuss. Please go to the side hall for some tea."
The doctor knew that if he discovered such a thing, it would mean that he fell into the hands of these noble families.
Knowing that resistance was futile, he obediently followed Aunt Gui.
Caiwei also understood and retreated.
When Aunt Gui left, she did not forget to close the door.
Only mother and daughter were left in the house.
"Kneel down!" Lin shouted angrily while sitting on the armchair.
Hearing this angry voice, Zhou Lingyi came back to his senses from his surprise, "Mother——"
"Kneel down!" Lin said again.
Zhou Lingyi was shocked, but still knelt down reluctantly.
Mrs. Lin looked at her daughter who was kneeling in front of her and whom she had pampered for sixteen years. She felt a burning fire in her heart and could not believe that her daughter would lose her virginity before marriage.
She suppressed her anger and asked, "Is it from Prince An?"
Zhou Lingyi lowered her head shyly and said softly, "Mother! Look at what you're saying. Who else could my daughter be other than His Highness?"
Seeing that she was not ashamed but proud of it, Lin could no longer control her anger and scolded, "Are you crazy?"
"Do you know that by doing this you are completely cutting off your own escape route?"
"I know, but I don't regret it!" Zhou Lingyi retorted.
Lin was so angry that she almost fainted. "You...what did you say! Do you know how important a woman's innocence is? How could I give birth to such a scoundrel like you!"
"Hurry up and abort the baby in your belly! Quickly! While it's still young, no one will notice it, and the damage to your body will be less."
Zhou Lingyi was originally listening to the lecture obediently, but when she heard Lin ask her to abort the child, she immediately shrank back like a frightened bird.
He blurted out, "Mother, if innocence is so important as you say, then why didn't you die to prove your innocence when you were violated by those filthy beggars?"
"Mother, you can't do this, but you want to take my child's life. You are too lenient with yourself and too harsh on others!"
Lin's eyes widened, unable to believe that this was the daughter she had raised like a treasure for more than ten years.
What happened that night was a taboo for her. She seemed to be able to smell the stench of those beggars in her dreams many times in the middle of the night.
Every time she smelled it, no matter whether it was late or the dew was heavy, she would bathe until her skin was rubbed to the point of bleeding, as if she had finally washed away the dirt.
That incident not only traumatized her physically and mentally, but also constantly reminded her that the husband she had snatched from her by any means necessary did not love her at all, and he didn't even care that she was raped by a dozen beggars.
His only thought was about the woman whom she had long regarded as her defeated opponent.
It took her a long time to recover from the physical reaction and psychological trauma.
Yi Jie'er knew clearly how difficult her time was, but she still used this incident to hurt her badly when she was wholeheartedly thinking about her.
This... is her good daughter whom she raised with so much effort and love, like a treasure!
Lin's heart seemed to be bleeding, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, okay! You are really a good daughter to me!"
