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.
