Chapter 480: Chapter 481 I’ll Come Personally_1 Chapter 480: Chapter 481 I’ll Come Personally_1 Steward Chen stiffened on the spot, then burst into cursing, “Stop talking nonsense! Are you trying to fool me and the Marquise by pretending to be pregnant now?”

Yu Ze was also utterly shocked, and seeing Steward Chen react this way made him even more convinced the woman was making up lies on the spot to deceive him.

But Muniang spoke calmly, “Believe it or not, it’s up to you. You’re just a servant, I don’t need to explain anything to you, just get lost!”

Muniang’s self-reference clearly emphasized her status. No matter what, she was now the Princess An, and she had only mentioned this matter to Steward Chen to keep him quiet and prevent rousing Jian Yue’s dissatisfaction. Yet, she was not afraid of him; the distinction between master and servant could not be overlooked.

Steward Chen wanted to cause more trouble, but Yu Ze’s gaze landed on him coldly. His hand twitched slightly inside his sleeve, ready to slap Steward Chen dead in an instant, and Steward Chen, ultimately afraid, realized the woman had indeed spoken the truth about her pregnancy. Observing her confident demeanor, he even felt he didn’t stand a chance.

No, he would have to think of a long-term plan. Struggling, Steward Chen got up from the ground, gave Muniang a warning look, and then hurriedly left.

The servants were startled at the sight of him covered in blood, but seeing that the Lady and master in the room appeared calm, they decided not to interfere further. As long as their masters were unharmed, why should they care about an outsider’s plight?

“Muniang, another day I will send Steward Chen back to the capital. You needn’t worry about the child, I’ll handle Marquis Chen Mansion,” Yu Ze said, holding Muniang’s hand and speaking softly.

Steward Chen had dared to say such things in front of him; naturally, he hadn’t said anything pleasant to Muniang. Thinking about his wife enduring these troubles made Yu Ze’s heart ache. As for Muniang’s claim of having a child, he naturally didn’t believe it, questioning how it could be so sudden. He assumed Muniang had blurted out something as a delaying tactic.

Feeling a warmth in her heart, Muniang looked at the man before her and for the first time felt truly glad to be the “bitch” that captivated this man’s heart. What did it matter if she was insulted by others? She was his beloved, and he always stood by her side. That alone was more than enough.

“What if I never have children? How will we explain it to Marquis Chen Mansion?” Muniang suddenly held back the truth and decided to probe what he would do.

Yu Ze hugged Muniang tightly, “I don’t know, but whether we have children or not, you are the only woman for Yu Ze. If heaven truly is that cruel, then it’s my retribution. I have caused too much death, and I deserve the suffering. But I can’t bear to see you in pain.”

Yu Ze’s voice turned somewhat hoarse, knowing how much Muniang loved children, from Tianniu and the others to Li Xi’er, everyone adored her. How much she must wish for a child of her own? And if by chance it never happened, wouldn’t it be a lifelong regret?

Muniang raised her hand to encircle Yu Ze’s neck, meeting his gaze, and smiled softly, “But heaven favors us, it also favors our child. They couldn’t bear to see me in pain and so blessed me with a baby.”

Yu Ze froze on the spot, “What did you say?”

Muniang enunciated clearly, “My lord, I am pregnant, it’s true!”

“Pregnant, pregnant?”

“Pregnant!”

Yu Ze swept Muniang into his arms, overwhelmed with emotion, “Truly pregnant! I am going to have a child!”

Because he experienced the regret of missing out, suddenly receiving such a surprise made even the normally composed Yu Ze incredibly overjoyed; it seemed like the happiest thing in the world.

Muniang laughed and said, “Stop being crazy. Put me down quickly before you make me dizzy.”

Yu Ze joyfully set her down and eagerly asked, “How could it be so sudden? Have you seen a doctor? Did the doctor really say that?”

“Truly, truly, truly!”

“Then what kind of nonsense was that quack talking about earlier? Which medical hall is he from? I definitely won’t let him off the hook!” At that moment, Yu Ze remembered the doctor and started to realize something.

However, Muniang’s expression suddenly changed, “Indeed, he cannot be let off, but the one who deserves to die the most is not him.”

“What do you mean?”

Muniang then recounted the day’s events to Yu Ze in detail. Yu Ze’s palm shattered the table and he headed straight for the door, “I’m going to kill Lu Ziquan.”

Muniang quickly held him back, “Can Lu Ziquan easily manipulate a doctor in Qinghua City? You’re giving him too much credit. There must be someone else behind this. Small fries like Lu Ziquan aren’t worth my attention. I’ll deal with him myself in a few days. As for the matter in Qinghua City, we need to pry some information from that doctor’s mouth first.”

The thing a doctor fears the most is tarnishing their own reputation. Under normal circumstances, they would definitely not agree to such a request unless someone forced them. But Lu Ziquan has no real power, and even the official in Chatu Town, Lord Lu, wouldn’t indulge him so easily. Thus, the real mastermind behind this surely isn’t him.

Right now, Muniang was only worried that it might be an enemy of Yu Ze’s from the court. After all, Yu Ze had a rather impulsive way of acting and had even been targeted for assassination by the emperor before. An enemy prince had also harmed her. If someone was plotting against him again, they would naturally start by targeting Muniang.

She never considered Jin Yuanyuan, largely because Jin Renjie had been behaving very obediently recently and had no motive. Knowing Muniang’s identity, he wouldn’t dare to employ such sly tactics, which would be suicidal. Besides, he had been very attentive to Muniang lately, so naturally, she didn’t suspect the Jin family.

Yu Ze’s fingers inside his sleeve cracked with anger, and his whole body exuded a chill, “Whoever is behind this, I won’t let them off!”

It was infuriating! Thinking of how Muniang almost fell ill with worry over the child these past days, and to learn it was all someone’s deliberate doing, even to the point of threatening the life of the child in her womb, how could he bear it? If it weren’t for Muniang holding him back, he would have slaughtered his way to Qinghua City by now.

“We still don’t know who is behind this. If it turned out to be a powerful enemy, taking it lightly could be dangerous. Currently, no one outside knows about my pregnancy. Let’s not startle the snake. That doctor is Doctor Chen from Jiren Hall. We’ll quietly capture him when the time comes and then get the truth out of him,” Muniang said.

Yu Ze nodded, “Leave this matter to me. You’re pregnant now, don’t tire yourself out. Be very careful with everything. That Wang Qingmei is not a good person, you…”

“I know what I’m doing. She can’t expect to get away with treating me like this. But I want to deal with her personally,” Muniang said through gritted teeth.
