Chapter 531 - 160 Pregnancy_4
Mei Xiang said, "This servant will protect the young prince."
Princess Yongning nodded in satisfaction, her gaze sweeping over Doctor Zhang who knelt on the ground, a trace of chill flashing in her eyes. She said, "Doctor Zhang has also worked hard today. Mei Xiang, lead Doctor Zhang out and offer him a cup of tea before he leaves."
Understanding the hint, Mei Xiang started to move. Doctor Zhang pleads for mercy, only to hear Princess Yongning laugh and say, "There’s no rush, Doctor Zhang. After you’ve had your tea, then you may leave. A cup of tea’s time won’t matter to your wife and son."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Zhang trembled violently, and a shadow fell across his eyes. He said nothing more and walked out, dispirited and distracted, following Mei Xiang.
Quiet returned to the great hall once again.
The smile on Princess Yongning’s face vanished. Although she very much hoped to keep the child, Mei Xiang’s words also reached her ears, and continuing this way was indeed not a solution. Should she tell Shen Yurong about this matter? Likely not, if Shen Yurong knew about this, he would definitely persuade her not to keep the child. He had already mentioned more than once during this period, that being at the center of controversy, one should not provide others with leverage, and it was best to keep distance. With this child, wouldn’t she be giving her enemies just that?
He always had a way with her, no matter how resolute she was, she would eventually be swayed by his tenderness and yield to his wishes. But this time, Princess Yongning had no intention of following Shen Yurong’s wishes. She was determined to keep this child.
What can be done to uncover this matter in a proper and justified way, while still keeping the child? The child must have a father once born; he must call Shen Yurong ’father.’"
