Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 2068 - 2076: Noble Concubine (2)

So, Princess Zhao Qing said sarcastically, "Wan’er, stop talking to them. Since they think so little of you, there’s no need for us to cling to them. At worst, we’ll return to Tongzhou, and Mother will find a father for the child in your stomach."

Upon hearing this, Chong Wu’s expression immediately changed, and his hands at his sides involuntarily curled up.

The child is his, his first child, a child of the Mu Family. How could he bear to let his child call someone else Dad?

Dong Wan’er also noticed the drastic change in Chong Wu’s expression and seized the opportunity to say heartbrokenly, "Mother, I’ll listen to you; I’ll go back to Tongzhou with you right now..."

After she spoke, she looked at Chong Wu with resentment and said, "Since you no longer trust me, let’s part ways. You’ve helped me a lot in the past, so even if you misunderstand me now, I won’t resent you. Master Mu, take care..."

Chong Wu tightly pursed his lips, looking at her slightly swollen belly, his heart was extremely conflicted. It wasn’t that he was swayed by Dong Wan’er’s pitiful act and a few words, but he couldn’t bear to part with the child in her belly. To him, that was his flesh and blood!

...

By night, when Mu Chongwu returned to the Mu Mansion, Dad and Mom along with his older brother and sister-in-law had already prepared a welcome banquet for him. Not having seen him for a long time, Lady Du’s longing for her son had reached its peak. As soon as he entered the room, Lady Du personally took a feather duster to brush off the snow on his cloak and helped him take off his cape, handing it casually to Auntie Liu, and smiled, saying, "Just now, your dad and brother and sister-in-law were talking about you; as it happens, you came. Qiu Yue, go and get a hand warmer for the Second Young Master." Glancing around, she saw that there was charcoal burning in the Flower Hall, and everything was in order. She then smiled and started chatting with Su Jinghua. The two of them chatted about some trivial matters, and when the maid brought tea and cakes, Yingluo finally carried the hand warmer and smilingly said, "I can talk with you, Young Master; you can all go down and rest for a while."

"No need, Mother, I’m not cold."

That hand warmer is stuff for women, even if Chong Wu was cold, he wouldn’t use it. It’s just that Lady Du cherishes her son and doesn’t know how best to dote on him. At this point, the Flower Hall has charcoal burning, the wall is also a fire wall, the room is warm like spring, thoroughly snug, and the hand warmer isn’t really needed.

After standing still, Chong Wu greeted his father, mother, brother, and sister-in-law, and apologized for leaving without saying goodbye. When he stood up, his gaze accidentally fell on Yanran’s prominently big belly, suddenly reminding him of Dong Wan’er, who was pregnant. The excitement of seeing family instantly dimmed.

Lady Du was observant and saw her son suddenly change his expression, asking, "Wu’er, what’s wrong? Why do you suddenly have such a gloomy look?"

Chong Wu knew he couldn’t hide it from the family, nor did he intend to, so he said solemnly, "Dad, Mom, I was unfilial, I’ve let Dong Wan’er get pregnant."

...

As soon as the words fell, the room instantly became silent, everyone looked at each other, all stunned.

What’s going on? Dong Wan’er is actually... pregnant!

This... is too sudden!

Yanran was the first to recover, breaking the silence in the room, saying, "Dad, Mom, even if Dong Wan’er is pregnant with a child of our Mu Family, we absolutely cannot let such a woman enter our family door."

"Right, we can’t let her into our Mu Family; otherwise, I’m afraid our house will be devoid of peace from then on." Chong Wen had a very poor impression of Dong Wan’er, even if he heard that woman was pregnant with his younger brother’s child, he wouldn’t acknowledge her.

Lady Du hesitated for a while, slowly accepting the news, tangled for a moment, "But, we can’t let our Mu Family’s child be left outside, that is your younger brother’s first child! Wu’er, what’s your opinion?"
