The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law

Gu Youyou smiled slightly and, looking at those so-called witnesses, said, "So you planted so many spies in our residence to surveil us, is that it?"

The maids, upon hearing this, were scared out of their wits; being disloyal to their master was a taboo.

Similarly, the Empress arranging people to spy on the Crown Prince Residence was also a taboo.

The Empress’s expression changed slightly, and she said sternly, "Don’t spout nonsense. The one who reported to me that you used surrogacy to have a child was Miss Yue from the Yue Family. You know very well how you drove her out."

Grinding her back teeth, Gu Youyou cursed Yue Ruxue thoroughly and continued, "Yue Ruxue has been away from Beijing for many days now. Why didn’t my royal mother come earlier, but waited until now?"

Because today, they had just deceived Jin Zijin to go out; naturally, she couldn’t say that, so she said, "The matter of surrogacy is serious. Naturally, I could not just believe it blindly; hence, I conducted covert investigations. These maids were all the objects of my secret investigation, and only last night when a woman giving birth was reported in your residence did I feel the evidence was irrefutable!"

Gu Youyou smiled and said, "It indeed was a worry for my royal mother, but fortunately, the truth is now revealed, proving that your son did not use surrogacy."

"Hmph..." The Empress sneered, "Whether it’s true or not remains to be seen. What about Miss Du, you bearing a child out of wedlock, how do you explain that? If there isn’t a reasonable explanation, both your newborn child and you yourself may not survive."

Back to it again, Miss Du’s face turned pale, and she instinctively glanced inside the room.

Her newborn son, so adorable—she would not let him die unjustly no matter what.
