Chapter 1072: Chapter 1072: What a Bold Move

Mo Xiuzhi was unaware that her secret had already been exposed. She wore a hurt expression and said, "Grandmother, how can you speak like this? How have I done anything improper?"

"You still have the nerve to feign innocence. They’ve come knocking on our door. Nanny Zhang says you’re over three months pregnant and it’s clearly not the General’s child. Tell me, whose wild seed is that in your belly?"

Upon hearing this, it was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky. Mo Xiuzhi was dumbfounded, "You... you... what nonsense are you spouting?"

"Keep pretending, keep pretending. Divine Doctor Zhang has already diagnosed it and said that the fetus is over three months old."

Only then did Mo Xiuzhi suddenly understand. No wonder the Old Madam had asked her to go to the Refreshing Courtyard this morning to have Divine Doctor Zhang examine her. Clearly, they had this ulterior motive in mind, and all of a sudden, her face turned deathly pale.

If the child in her womb wasn’t General Situ’s, then it must be Mo Shaocai’s. Thinking of this, Mo Xiuzhi panicked. She had worked hard to get the position of a Concubine and was not willing to lose it just like that.

"You are slandering me! I have only the General as my man. How could the child not be his?" Mo Xiuzhi played the victim, adamantly denying any other man.

Truly, some people won’t shed a tear until they see the coffin.

Old Maid Zhang sneered in her heart. The General and the Old Madam are such formidable figures; how could they be deceived by these country folk? It’s ridiculous.

"Saying it to me is useless; go tell the Old Madam and the General. They are waiting for you in the Refreshing Courtyard!"

Mo Xiuzhi stubbornly denied it, and everyone was skeptical about her words.

The Mo family, after all, hoped against hope that this was all a mistake by Divine Doctor Zhang.

They followed Mo Xiuzhi to the Refreshing Courtyard.

The Old Madam and Situ Yongjie sat grimly in the center of the main hall. As they watched Mo Xiuzhi enter anxiously, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in the Old Madam’s eyes. She thought to herself, this wretched girl had deceitfully made a fool of her! If not for Divine Doctor Zhang’s visit today, the Situ family’s bloodline would be tainted. It was utterly detestable. If this were truly the case, how could she face her ancestors after her death?

"Bam!" The Old Madam slammed the table with her hand and roared, "Kneel!"

With a guilty conscience, Mo Xiuzhi’s legs gave way, and she knelt to the ground.

Old Lady Mo stepped forward with a smile, "Old Madam, our Xiuzhi has never stepped outside from a young age and has never done anything improper. Could it be that Divine Doctor Zhang made a mistake?"

"Insolent! Who are you, a mere commoner, to defame Divine Doctor Zhang?" The Old Madam was very angry.

Divine Doctor Zhang was a renowned healer and the Imperial Physician of the court. Except for the royal family and nobles, ordinary people could not even dream of inviting him. The fact that he condescended to visit the General’s Mansion and examine Mo Xiuzhi was an enormous honor, yet these lowly folks dared to slander him.

The Old Madam’s angry shout startled Old Lady Mo, and she stood aside, not daring to make a sound.

The Old Madam demanded, "Tell me, whose wild seed is that in your belly?"

For the sake of wealth and honor, although Mo Xiuzhi was very afraid, she stubbornly insisted, "It’s the General’s."

"How dare you continue to lie? Don’t think that just because you’re pregnant, I won’t dare to deal harshly with you."

"Old Madam, I’m not lying, it’s truly the General’s." Having said that, Mo Xiuzhi turned to Situ Yongjie with a pitiful plea, "General, I beg you, just say a word, that the child in my belly is yours, can you?"

Situ Yongjie turned his face away, thinking to himself, you want me to be a cuckold? Not a chance.

The Old Madam’s voice resonated like a bell, "Enough, you’re at death’s door and still dare to ask Jiejie to be your scapegoat? You have some nerve."
