marriage contract

"What?!" Gu Cheng looked at him in disbelief.

"You heard me right, Ms. Sun is pregnant." Chu Junyi's voice was a little subtle, and seeing Gu Chengzhi's expression instantly calmed his mind. His reaction when he heard the news just now was no better than his.

Gu Chengzhi took a deep breath but didn't know what to say. Is this still a lady? Even the sisters in the Goulan are not so casual...

"It is said that Miss Sun and the second elder brother had already...the eldest brother was added later...it was discovered at the eldest aunt's place, and the elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were also there at the time." Chu Junyi also had a subtle expression, coughing lightly He said twice and said, "Anyway, the big room is still busy now."

"... Whose child is it?" After being speechless, Gu Chengzhi thought of what happened that day. At that time, he was just flirting, and there might be some physical contact, but he really never thought that they would have a direct relationship with each other. Rolled into bed, and possibly rolled into bed with two men separately.

"I don't know, Miss Sun just keeps crying, but she doesn't say who the child is, maybe she doesn't even know." Chu Junyi was very puzzled, "What do you think she is trying to do? Make it so wrong What's good about her? Even if she can't be the main wife, it's okay to be a second concubine in her capacity, but now..."

Lost virginity before marriage, the father of the child is unknown, plus the matter with Uncle Chu and Second Master Chu...

Gu Chengzhi shook his head and asked, "What did the uncle and the second master say?"

"Big brother and second brother didn't say anything." Chu Junyi was a little helpless, "But the eldest aunt wants to keep this child."

"Keep it?! That child is a child of adultery!" If a child is born, it will be a solid evidence of adultery. Is Mrs. Chu out of her mind? !

"As long as the child is taken as a concubine before the child is born, that's not enough." The identity of the child is calculated from the moment of birth. If the mother is the wife at the time of delivery, the child is the legitimate son; It is the son of a concubine; the son of an adulterer is the one who is not a concubine or a concubine.No matter when the child was conceived, as long as Miss Sun becomes a concubine, the child will be considered a bastard when the child is born.

"Will the Sun family agree?" Gu Chengzhi sneered.

"It's up to people, as long as the benefits promised by the eldest aunt are enough." Chu Junyi shrugged.

"What benefit can be more important than the family's reputation." Gu Chengzhi lowered his eyes slightly.

"I don't know." Chu Junyi also couldn't figure it out, "Auntie had been discussing this matter with the Sun family before, and it was generally settled. If Miss Sun was not pregnant, she would probably come in after a while."

It is very shameful to have a daughter as a concubine in the family, but Mrs. Chu can't let Miss Sun leave, so she can only negotiate terms with the Sun family. She didn't reveal anything before, just to protect Second Master Chu, but now Sun The girl is pregnant...

"Then why did the eldest wife keep that child? Doesn't she know that this will cause criticism?" This is what Gu Chengzhi couldn't understand the most.

Miss Sun is neither a slave nor a concubine bought from outside. She is slapping the face of the Chu family when she enters the door like this. Is there something tricky here!

Chu Junyi was silent for a moment before saying: "Now only the eldest brother has a son, the only son."

Gu Chengzhi also thought about the issue of the Chu family's heirs. There are too few children below, and even if they come like this, they will definitely want to keep them.

He asked again: "Then whose name is it going to belong to?" Since it is for the purpose of having a child, it is natural to decide on the issue of the child's ownership.

"Probably... it's the second brother." Chu Junyi's expression was indifferent, "The second brother has no children so far. Whether it's a boy or a girl, it's always a good thing to have a child in the house. As for the others... at least half of that child It may be the biological son of the second brother."

What Gu Chengzhi thought was another matter. Uncle Chu is from the lineage of the eldest son. If he wants to inherit the Marquis Mansion in the future, the blood should not be confused.

"Can Second Mistress be willing?" The Second Household doesn't have a legitimate son yet, and now they want to give birth to a child who doesn't know whether it's a boy or a girl. It's okay for the daughter to say, if it's a son...

"Of course I don't want to, but the eldest aunt has already made a decision, and the eldest brother and the second brother have no objections." After Chu Junyi finished speaking, he looked at him again, "Even if the eldest aunt is for the sake of her son, she won't let this matter become a big deal, she shouldn't. will affect you."

"What about the rest of the Chu family?" Gu Chengzhi asked.

"There are grandfather and grandmother. Grandpa won't let them make trouble. After all, this matter involves elder brother. If someone dares to make trouble, grandfather's stick is not a vegetarian. As for grandmother..." Chu Junyi sighed, "She I look forward to my great-grandson every day, maybe the grandma's backer before giving birth is my grandmother."

Gu Chengzhi nodded, and seeing that Chu Junyi's face turned pale, he asked, "Still feeling uncomfortable?"

Chu Junyi coughed a few times, took the tea from Gu Chengzhi, "It's okay."

"Has your body always been this weak?" Gu Chengzhi asked with a frown.

Chu Junyi paused for a moment, pursed his lips and said: "There are some inherent deficiencies, and I haven't taken care of them after that."

Gu Cheng was stunned, then thought about how he had lived these years, and said in a slow voice: "Then start recuperating from now on, I'll find a doctor for you."

"Oh..." Chu Junyi lowered his head, he was made uncomfortable by Gu Chengzhi's voice again, but he still said, "That's trouble for you."

Gu Chengzhi's work efficiency is really not ordinary high. Just after he finished talking about finding a doctor for him, an imperial physician came the next day. He looked to be in his 40s, of medium build, and had an amiable smile.

"..." Chu Junyi glanced at Gu Cheng unconsciously, and then said to the imperial physician, "Please do not trouble the imperial physician."

"Sixth Master Chu, you are being polite." Imperial Physician He said with a smile.

The three of them sat down at the table, and Imperial Physician He began to check the pulse. After checking the pulse of both left and right hands, he said, "Liu Chu's body is a little weak, and he needs to drink some decoction."

Chu Junyi nodded. He knew his situation well and knew that this period of time would definitely not be short.

Gu Chengzhi asked him to rest in the room, while he took Imperial Physician He to the study.

After entering the study, Gu Chengzhi asked straight to the point: "Is his condition very bad?"

"It's not just bad, it's really terrible." Imperial Physician He rolled his eyes and found a chair to sit down.

"What happened to him?" Gu Chengzhi asked with a frown.

Imperial Physician He didn't answer, but stroked his chin and looked at him carefully.

Gu Chengzhi sighed, and sat across from him, "Have you seen enough?"

Imperial Physician He clicked his tongue twice but didn't answer, just asked: "Do you care about him?"

"It's okay." Gu Chengzhi always felt that the tone of his question was a bit awkward.

"I don't think it's just as simple as it's okay." Imperial Physician He said with a deep expression.

"Uncle He, stop making trouble and talk about serious business." Gu Chengzhi was a little helpless.

Imperial Physician He is a good friend of Mr. Gu Er, and he also watched him grow up. His medical skills are superb and his medical ethics are also very good, but sometimes he is a bit playful and looks a little unscrupulous.

Imperial Physician He glanced at him, "If you really care about him, just keep an eye on him, don't wait until he's gone before saying I didn't warn you."

"Is his body that bad?" Gu Chengzhi knew that Chu Junyi's body was a little weak, but hearing Imperial Physician He's tone, it seemed that he would disappear if he couldn't see him at a glance.

"Don't believe me?" Imperial Physician He raised his eyebrows.

"Faith, is it a congenital deficiency?" Gu Chengzhi knew that he never joked about this.

"More than that." Imperial Physician He shook his head, and the smile on his face also subsided, "Congenital deficiencies only accounted for a small part, and his physical deficiencies were a little serious. He should have had several serious illnesses before, which could kill him." That kind of thing, but they haven’t recuperated well after their illness. Even if they start to recuperate now, I don’t know how long it will take. If there is another serious illness, they might not be able to hold on.”

Gu Chengzhi asked in a deep voice: "Can it be cured?"

"It can't be cured, we can only rely on nourishment. As for the extent to which it can be nourished, it depends on his good fortune." Imperial Physician He shook his head regretfully.

Gu Chengzhi felt heavy in his heart. He thought that Chu Junyi was just weak from birth. He never thought that his illness was almost all acquired. "How to take care of it?"

Imperial Physician He glanced at him, then glanced around, saw a pen and paper on the desk, and walked over.After writing several sheets of paper in a row, he stopped to dry the ink, and when he handed it to Gu Cheng, he said: "This is the prescription he wants to use, and I have written all the points that need attention. Let him take this medicine on time. Otherwise, don't come to me next time, you know I hate disobedient patients the most."

Seeing Gu Chengzhi nodding, Imperial Physician He took up a pen and wrote a few more sheets, "This is what you need to pay attention to when eating."

Then I wrote a few more and handed them over, "This is something he needs to pay attention to. You can watch him read it."

Finally wrote a few sheets of paper before putting down the pen, "I've written some other things here, you can figure it out."

Gu Chengzhi read all the written words, and then asked a little speechlessly: "All these?"

"What do you think?" Imperial Physician He went around the desk and sat back to the position just now, "That is to say, he hasn't been seriously ill in the past two years, otherwise it's hard to say whether you will see this person again. He is a porcelain man now." Baby, it looks fine on the outside, but on the inside, hehe."

Gu Chengzhi looked at the papers again, sorted them out and put them away, and came to Imperial Physician He and said, "I will watch him, and I will trouble you later."

"It seems that you get along well, and you care so much about him." Imperial Physician He thought it was Gu Cheng's illness, but he didn't expect that he came here to treat Chu Junyi.

"He's a nice guy, and he always wants to get along for a few years. There's no need to make him look like an enemy." Gu Chengzhi has heard this kind of talk a lot in the past few months, and his answers are much more casual.

Imperial Physician He nodded, and it's fine to ask him to say that, but if that's the case... "Then you can enlighten him, it shouldn't be a problem of medicine for his illness, he must have taken medicine to live to such an age, but When I look at his pulse, he is too preoccupied and depressed, which is not a good thing in the end."

Gu Cheng was stunned, bowed his head and thought for a while before saying: "I see, thank you Uncle He, I will trouble you today."

Imperial Physician He waved his hand, and said indifferently: "Going outside for a walk, I learned to be polite. If you have anything to do, come to me later."

Gu Chengzhi responded with a smile.

After seeing Imperial Physician He away, Gu Chengzhi also returned to the study. Looking at the stack of papers in front of him, he remembered what Imperial Physician He said again, and he was depressed... He didn't notice this much, but Chu Junyi did. Sometimes it is very silent.

If you want to enlighten, you must know the reason, but they...haven't gotten to that level yet.

Glancing at the stack of papers again, Gu Chengzhi still decided to focus on the medicine first, as for the knot in his heart... we will talk about it later.
