The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

All this was just Meng Wen Yao's speculation, but unexpectedly, within a few days, news came out that Wu Qinfang was pregnant.

Now, it can almost be concluded that the child in Wu Qinfang's belly is definitely not Shen Chengwang's.

But Wu Qinfang was very cunning. Everyone knew that A'man was having a secret meeting with her cousin, but even A'man's cousin Wang Cheng probably didn't know that Wu Qinfang was pregnant with his child.

It's really done without anyone noticing!

"Second brother, has Wang Cheng been arranged?"

Shi Nan'an smiled cunningly: "Well, I have already taken out all my belongings and started a cloth business with a subordinate of mine from Suzhou. There won't be any trouble for a year or two."

Then the next step is to wait for the right opportunity to expose Wu Qinfang.

Ever since Wu Qinfang became pregnant, Meng Wenyao never went to the backyard of the Bo's house again, fearing that Wu Qinfang would cause Meng Wenyao to have a miscarriage for the sake of her own child.

He stayed at home all day, living a good life in the west wing. Occasionally, when he heard a word about the harmony between Wu Qinfang and Shen Chengwang, he would laugh for a long time.

It is not known whether Shen Chengwang knows the truth of the matter. Meng Wenyao suspects that he does not know it at all. Otherwise, with his proud personality, how could he allow Wu Qinfang to put a blame on him.

While Meng Wenyao was thinking about how to expose Wu Qinfang, Wu Qinfang was also secretly planning while holding her pregnant belly.

Unfortunately, she searched everywhere around the temple but couldn't find any trace of the wild man. It was always not safe to catch a couple in adultery without finding Meng Wenyao's wild man.

But no matter what, she had to make Meng Wen Yao lose all her face and reputation, and make way for the child in her belly.

She wanted her child to be born and become the legitimate eldest grandson of the Bo family.

Yongping Bo was naturally completely unaware of the turmoil in the backyard. He just lamented that fate still favored the Shen family and allowed his two sons to have heirs.

Especially when his two daughters-in-law were pregnant, he paid a large sum of money to have a doctor take their pulses, and the doctors invariably said they were two grandsons.

This made Yongping Bo even more excited and he went to the ancestral temple to burn incense and offer sacrifices to his ancestors all day long.

In this tense and exciting atmosphere, the day when Meng Wen Yao was due to give birth slowly approached.

The most famous doctor and the most skilled midwife in the capital were sent to the west wing early on.

Yongping Bo stood in the study, wrote a big "family of good deeds", and then told the housekeeper: "Mrs. Wu was born more than a month later than Wen Yao. When Wen Yao is out of confinement after giving birth, it will be Mrs. Wu's turn. You must take good care of this midwife and doctor, and don't treat her badly."

"Yes." The butler replied with a smile.

"Master, the eldest young master's wife is about to give birth, and several wet nurses have been selected. Would you like to take a look in advance?"

"Yes, of course. This is my eldest grandson's lunch bag. Bring it here for me to see."

Putting down his pen, Earl Yongping walked out of the study, intending to receive the wet nurse in the yard.

But before the nurse entered the yard, she heard the servant run in excitedly and shout, "Master, the Second Young Master's wife has started the war."

"What?! Not the eldest young master's wife?"

Yongping Bo was sure that Wu Qinfang was really about to give birth, and he muttered: "Why did she give birth so early? This is a sign of premature birth!"

"Quick, go to the west wing and bring the doctor and the midwife to the Second Young Madam's room."

In the west wing, Meng Wenyao was slightly shocked when she heard that Wu Qinfang was about to give birth.

"Everything was fine during her pregnancy, so why did she suddenly give birth prematurely? Did she get hurt?"

Cuizhu watched the doctor and the midwife rush to the backyard of the mansion. She rolled her eyes and said, "Miss, I'll go over and ask."

In less than half an hour, Cuizhu came back with a very unhappy look on her face.

"Miss, Wu Qinfang is really calculating. She even took something that induced labor just to give birth to her eldest grandson."

Meng Wen Yao was shocked. Childbirth was still very dangerous in this era. Was Wu Qinfang willing to give up her life for power and status?

"how do you know?"

Cuizhu rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "It's all her own fault. I don't know what medicine she took. When the doctor said there were signs of a difficult labor, she got scared and said she accidentally ate something bad."

"She's been so precious since she got pregnant, how could she accidentally eat something bad? She must have eaten it on purpose."

This is understandable. Ever since the troubles in her marriage, Wu Qinfang has been trapped in a vicious circle of fighting for power and profit.

It was not surprising that Wu Qinfang used any means to give birth to a legitimate grandson. Meng Wenyao just shook her head and smiled and no longer took it to heart.

Her due date is just in the next two days, so she really doesn't have the energy to watch Wu Qinfang's joke.

"Help me get up and take a walk. The midwife said that walking more will help with childbirth."

Just as Meng Wen Yao was about to stand up holding Cuizhu's hand, she suddenly felt a pain in her stomach, and alarm bells immediately rang in her heart.

"Cuizhu, go get the midwife. I feel like I really want to give birth."

Fortunately, Earl Yongping was thoughtful and invited more doctors and midwives, and even left a few for Meng Wen Yao.

By the time the midwife came over, Meng Wenyao had already taken the pain-free pill. She pretended to be weak and said to the midwife, "I think I'm bleeding. I'm afraid I'm about to give birth."

The midwife hurried over to check, and after a while, she said, "Go and ask the general to come back home, the young lady is about to give birth."

Then Meng Wen Yao was helped to the delivery room. The maids and servants in the west wing began to busy themselves in an orderly manner. Feeling her stomach tightening, Meng Wen Yao also began to scream.

Shi Nan'an, who had rushed back from the military camp, had cold sweat on his forehead. He had stationed a lot of people in the mansion, and when he heard that Wu Qinfang had launched the attack, he felt that something might be wrong.

Without time to think, he began to run back home, and just in time he met the person who came to report the news. When he heard that Meng Wen Yao had also started, Shi Nanan suddenly felt half of his body numb.

The only thing he was thinking about was whether Wu Qinfang had snatched Meng Wen Yao's doctor away. Only when he heard the visitor report that Meng Wen Yao was accompanied by a doctor and a midwife did Shi Nan'an feel relieved.

But at such a critical moment, he still didn't dare to be careless. With the momentum of escaping, he almost ran back to the west wing.

When he got home and jumped off the horse, he almost fell down because he lost his footing.

"How is the young lady?"

At this moment, a loud cry was heard from the delivery room.

"It's born, it's born, the young lady gave birth to a little boy."

Shi Nanan stepped over to report the news, rushed into the delivery room, held Meng Wenyao's hand, and said with a choked voice: "I came back late, you don't know how worried I was, I..."

Shi Nan'an was choked up and couldn't speak. Meng Wenyao was also deeply moved. She held Shi Nan'an's hand with tears in her eyes: "Second brother, we have a son now. We will have many children and grandchildren in the future. Second brother, you are not alone anymore."

"With you by my side, I never feel alone."
