Chapter 141: Chapter 142: Luo Jiner is Pregnant

Shao He leaned back, watching him quietly as she listened to his apology, showing no reaction whatsoever.

Chu Yu finally asked, “Shao He, you can deal with Luo Jiner however you want, I have already confined her.”

“Confined? You readily harm your own child, but you show mercy towards Luo Jiner?” Shao He mocked intentionally.

“No, I have no sympathy for her anymore, only hatred in my heart,” Chu Yu immediately denied.

Shao He did not believe him and said quietly, “You think I would believe that?”

Chu Yu looked dejected and explained softly, “Shao He, I only have hatred for Luo Jiner. If you say she should die, I will go back and kill her right away.”

“I don’t want to hear your explanations, please leave, Marquis,” Shao He said as she stood up to leave.

Chu Yu grabbed her arm, wanting to say something more, when a delicate voice interrupted.

“Doctor Shao.”

Liang Weishuang approached slowly with small steps, dressed today in a tender pink skirt, her black hair held up by a golden hairpin.

“Miss Liang,” Shao He nodded slightly, her demeanor distant yet polite.

Liang Weishuang noticed Shao He’s arm being held and a look of confusion crossed her face, remembering what Jhiang Yijia had told her.

“The affair between the Marquis and Doctor Shao is not as simple as you think; they are deeply entangled.”

“The Marquis may not truly fancy Luo Jiner; the relationship between Doctor Shao and the Marquis is more complex than you imagine.”

These words, combined with the current scene, inevitably made her feel extremely uncomfortable, considering the man she was to marry was now physically entangled with another woman–no one could remain calm in such a situation.

“Miss Liang, is something the matter?” Shao He asked coldly.

Recovering her senses, Liang Weishuang looked at her, then glanced at Chu Yu beside her, and said shyly, “I’ve seen the Marquis.”

Upon hearing this, Shao He raised her eyebrows and a cold sneer formed at the corner of her mouth.

Chu Yu let go of his hand and cleared his throat, “Miss Liang, what brings you here?”

“I came to explain some things to Doctor Shao. And the Marquis–is it that you are feeling unwell and came to see the Doctor?” Liang Weishuang still believed in Chu Yu and Luo Jiner, thinking there must be some misunderstanding.

“Explain what?” Chu Yu asked with a frown.

Liang Weishuang glanced at Shao He and said, “It’s about Luo Jiner. She told me a lot, and I think there must be some misunderstandings here.”

Upon hearing Luo Jiner’s name, Shao He’s expression darkened and she said, “I have nothing to explain to you. If Miss Liang truly believes what Luo Jiner has told you, seek proof from the Marquis; there’s no need to involve me.”

“But…”

Chu Yu waved his hand and advised, “Miss Liang, I suggest you not be deceived by others.”

Liang Weishuang insisted confidently, “She wouldn’t deceive me. She said Doctor Shao seduced the Marquis and even said the Marquis wants to take Doctor Shao back to his estate. I think there must be a misunderstanding.”

Shao He laughed bitterly in anger, “Seduce the Marquis? Which eye of hers saw me seducing the Marquis?”

It was clearly Chu Yu who was relentlessly pursuing her; now, it had been twisted to sound like she was seducing him–how laughable.

Liang Weishuang was stunned, then murmured softly, biting her lip, “So, I think there must be a misunderstanding. Wouldn’t it be better to clear it up?”

Shao He, judging from Liang Weishuang’s demeanor and words, deduced her firm belief in Luo Jiner and felt even more speechless internally.

“Marquis, Miss Liang, I do not wish to involve myself in your affairs. If there’s any misunderstanding, it’s better that you go back to the estate and clear it up. This isn’t the Yamen; I don’t settle official disputes here.”

“Luo Jiner!” Chu Yu shouted sharply, his gaze piercingly fixed on Liang Weishuang, “She really knows no rest; even now she dares to stir things up. I must kill her when I return!”

He already disliked Luo Jiner, and with recent events, he despised her even more, even contemplating outright killing the woman to avoid further trouble.

Startled, Liang Weishuang quickly grabbed Chu Yu, “Marquis, don’t be rash. Can we sit down and talk this over when we see Jiner?”

“There’s nothing to discuss with her. A woman like her deserves death; not even her shattered remains could quench my hatred!” Chu Yu said bitterly and menacingly.

Liang Weishuang shook her head and said, “Marquis, I know there are many conflicts between you and Jiner, but she has been with you for so long. There must be some misunderstanding. I hope we can get to the bottom of this, don’t you think?”

“A misunderstanding? She caused me to lose my wife and child, led me to misunderstand so much, and still lacks restraint. A woman like her deserves death!”

Liang Weishuang was startled and quickly tightened her grip on Chu Yu, “Marquis, you can’t kill her. She’s pregnant!”

At this revelation, even Shao He, who had been observing the commotion, was taken aback.

Chu Yu pulled his hand away and asked through gritted teeth, “What did you just say?”

“She, she’s pregnant,” Liang Weishuang cautiously repeated.

A flash of surprise crossed Shao He’s eyes. No, she had taken Luo Jiner’s pulse before; she could not be pregnant. What was going on then?

Liang Weishuang would likely not lie about such a matter, and evidently, Luo Jiner intended to use Liang Weishuang’s word to announce her pregnancy.

Since Luo Jiner dared to do this, she must have been prepared; otherwise, a simple examination by any doctor would expose her.
