Chapter 163 This is His Highness's child
Immediately, the person at the door suddenly flung out a pebble.
With a loud 'bang,' the pebble struck the dagger in Shen Siyi's hand, narrowly missing the chance to pierce Su Yan'er's abdomen.
The two turned around in surprise and saw who had come from.
First, it was a pleasant surprise; it had finally arrived.
The other thing is disappointment; it really was him.
The two spoke at the same time.
"Your Highness!"
"Brother Jingyu!"
Yuan Song stepped forward, pulled Su Yan'er up, away from Shen Siyi, and untied the ropes binding Su Yan'er.
Before Shen Siyi could speak again, Su Yan'er, who had broken free of her ropes, ran quickly to Xiao Jingyu's side.
Her swollen cheeks showed that Shen Siyi had really put in a lot of effort just now.
"Your Highness, save me! Miss Shen is going to kill me! She's going to kill our child!"
what?
child?
Everyone was shocked and turned to look at Su Yan'er's abdomen.
"You bitch, you're pregnant?" Shen Siyi shouted.
She felt her body trembling; she had been injured after the horse race that day.
When the imperial physician diagnosed her as infertile, she was filled with despair and wished she could end her life.
Xiao Jingyu comforted her, saying that even if they couldn't have children, they could adopt one into their family later.
She believed it, and those words gave her the courage to live.
But now, she finds it all so ridiculous. He says he doesn't care, yet he has a child with someone else right before they're about to get married.
Even though she knew he might have multiple wives and concubines in the future, it was precisely at this moment that she couldn't accept it.
Seeing Shen Siyi's shocked, terrified, and desperate expression, Su Yan'er felt secretly delighted.
But she didn't notice that Xiao Jingyu also had an expression of disbelief on her face.
He didn't even come out that day, so how could she have gotten pregnant?
Xiao Jingyu looked at Su Yan'er and asked again, "Is it really our child?"
Su Yan'er assumed that Xiao Jingyu was so surprised that he forgot to smile, after all, this child was his first child, and if it was a boy, he would be the first grandson of the emperor.
"Of course, has Your Highness forgotten what happened between Your Highness and Yan'er that night?"
That night in the "Tian" room of Manxianglou, he did indeed take her virginity.
But they only had that one night together. Half a month later, she said she was pregnant, which made Xiao Jingyu suspicious.
Today, I came to talk to her about the Marquis's mansion and told her to continue to maintain a good relationship with the Marquis's mansion. If necessary, she still needs to marry Qin Lang.
But unexpectedly, I heard such shocking news.
Seeing that Xiao Jingyu remained silent, Su Yan'er's heart trembled slightly, and she added, "Your Highness, Yan'er has already had a doctor examine her, and it's been half a month. It's Your Highness's child!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Siyi's eyes reddened. She couldn't accept that her fiancé had cheated on her with someone else before their marriage and even had a child with him.
"Fourth Prince, how do you intend to explain this?"
She could no longer bring herself to call him "Brother Jingyu". She could still accept that he had Qin Wan in his heart because she knew that even if he did, he would never be able to have Qin Wan.
But Su Yan'er was right in front of her, standing alive, which made her feel threatened.
Because she was unsure if she could actually have children, and if she couldn't, her position as the fourth prince's wife might be difficult to secure.
Xiao Jingyu glanced at Shen Siyi, then her gaze fell on Su Yan'er.
He never imagined she would be so foolish; didn't she know he was about to get married?
If he had said these words at his wedding, there might have been a glimmer of hope. But at this moment, between Su Yan'er and the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, Xiao Jingyu naturally chose to wait.
"I'll ask you one more time, is this child really mine?"
This was Xiao Jingyu's last chance for her.
The cold tone frightened Su Yan'er. Tears streamed down her swollen cheeks, and the wounds on her face were still bleeding. The tears mixed with blood and fell onto her clothes.
She met with Xiao Jingyu here today to tell him this news; she was prepared to be kept as a mistress.
This is her small courtyard.
But she never expected that Shen Siyi would actually come looking for her and humiliate her like this.
She admitted that when she said it, she felt a sense of satisfaction at Shen Siyi's terrified expression, but now Xiao Jingyu's reaction frightened her.
But there's no turning back now that the arrow has been released; since she's made up her mind, she'll stick to it to the end.
"Yes, Yan'er is carrying His Highness's child!" Su Yan'er responded, sobbing. Her swollen cheeks made her speech somewhat unclear.
“Yan’er is still a virgin. She gave herself to Your Highness that night. Didn’t Your Highness feel anything? During this time, Yan’er has been in the Marquis’s residence and has never been with any other man. Your Highness can find out by investigating. Yan’er doesn’t know what she did wrong to make Your Highness doubt her so much!”
Su Yan'er cried and felt resentment. Her abdomen began to hurt, and she bent over, clutching her stomach. Her eyes were still on Xiao Jingyu, hoping that he would take pity on her, but he did not.
He simply said coldly, "Yuan Song, go find a doctor!"
"Yes!"
Su Yan'er knew he was suspicious, so she made thorough preparations in advance.
Shen Siyi waited for a long time, but when he didn't explain, she shook her head in disappointment.
"Fourth Prince, I never thought you were this kind of person. You said you didn't mind me, but you had a child with someone else right before we were about to get married. I will definitely tell my father and aunt about this and ask them to stand up for me!"
Shen Siyi left in tears, and Xiao Jingyu chased after her for a couple of steps before finally stopping.
He pondered for a moment. Su Yan'er was right. He did feel something that night. He had taken her virginity, but he really didn't ejaculate.
Could it be that he forgot about Zhang Yue's matter back then?
In short, it's best to have a doctor diagnose it.
If it's true, then this really is his first child, and he should treat it well.
After half an incense stick's time, Yuan Song returned.
The doctor followed them in.
After the diagnosis, the doctor bowed and reported the diagnosis.
"Your Highness, this young lady is indeed pregnant, and she's already half a month along!"
Su Yan'er looked at Xiao Jingyu with tearful eyes, as if all her grievances had burst forth at this moment.
Of course it's been half a month. She took medicine, which can change her pulse and make the pulse of the fetus in her womb weaker.
"Really?" Xiao Jingyu asked in surprise.
"really!"
"Your Highness, Yan'er is not lying to you, the child in Yan'er's womb is Your Highness's child!"
After the doctor left, Xiao Jingyu hurriedly sat down next to Su Yan'er, placing her hand on her stomach.
"Yan'er, I misunderstood you. Is this really my child?"
"Yes!" Su Yan'er smiled through her tears. "Of course it's Your Highness's child. Yan'er said that Your Highness is the only man in Yan'er's life!"
But Xiao Jingyu clearly remembered that he really didn't come out that night. What was the reason for that?
Half an hour later.
Cining Palace.
"Aunt, you must stand up for your niece! Your niece has always wanted to marry His Highness, but His Highness has had a child with someone else!" Shen Siyi cried uncontrollably.
The presence of Duke Shen Zhong, who stood to the side, was her source of confidence.
"Insolence! Guards, bring that wretch and the Fourth Prince back here!"
"Yes!"
