Chapter 147: Chapter 148: The Child Must Stay

Chu Yu heard a familiar voice, turned around, and saw the visitor frowning as she walked over.

“Grandmother, how did you come here?”

“Such a big incident has occurred, how could I not come? How much longer were you planning to keep this from me?” Old Madam said, fiercely coughing due to her anger.

Nanny Xu hurriedly smoothed the bedding and tried to calm her, “Old Madam, please do not be angry. Take care of your health. The Marquis didn’t want to worry you.”

“It’s true what they say, like master like maid. It was you who went to tip her off, daring to gossip in front of Old Madam. Absolutely unforgivable!” After saying this, Chu Yu went over and kicked her to the ground.

Qiu Zhu, terrified, knelt and begged for mercy, “Marquis, I did not, I absolutely did not do such a thing.”

Chu Yu snorted coldly, “If it wasn’t for you telling Grandmother, would the Marquis have let Grandmother tire herself like this today? Since you do not follow the rules, do not blame me for being cruel.”

Having said this, Chu Yu ordered, “Someone, take her back to the mansion.”

Upon hearing this, Qiu Zhu was terrified, crying and shouting, “Marquis, please give me another chance, I will not dare anymore, please spare me.”

Chu Yu looked at the lowly woman before him and sneered, “How dare you meddle in the affairs of my household? Today I will send you away from the mansion, and make sure I never see you again.”

Qiu Zhu’s face instantly turned pale; she could not have imagined that the Marquis would be so ruthless as to expel her.

She looked pleadingly at Luo Jiner, everything had been instructed by her, she did not want to be driven out like this, to leave Marquis’s Mansion. Who else would dare to take her in?

“Marquis, she is my only maid, please, let her stay,” Luo Jiner cried, her tears like rain.

“Enough, this has nothing to do with Qiu Zhu. Even if she hadn’t come to find me, I would still have come here myself,” Old Madam Chu intervened.

Chu Yu, of course, was not willing to let Qiu Zhu off so easily, but seeing the look in his grandmother’s eyes, he finally had to let it go.

“Is it really true that she’s pregnant?” Old Madam’s words were directed at Chu Yu, but her gaze drifted intentionally or unintentionally toward Shao He.

Chu Yu, knowing he could no longer conceal it, had no choice but to nod slightly reluctantly.

“That’s wonderful, heaven never seals all exits,” Old Madam, knowing Luo Jiner was truly pregnant, joyously bowed three times.

Seeing the person still kneeling and crying on the ground, she immediately said to the nanny beside her, “What are you staring at? Hurry and help her up, don’t hurt my great-grandchild.”

Nanny Xu quickly went over to Qiu Zhu, spoke softly and gently, “Miss Luo is truly blessed, please get up. Be careful not to hurt the child in your belly.”

Luo Jiner knew this trick would work. She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and as Nanny Xu helped her up, she slowly extended her right hand from her sleeve and, while being pulled up, suddenly grasped Shao He’s left wrist and forcefully pulled it towards herself.

Shao He was completely unprepared for this turn of events and stumbled towards Luo Jiner.

Nanny Xu, quick to react, pulled them apart, and Shao He nearly fell to the ground. Chu Yu quickly stepped forward to steady her, his cold gaze falling on Luo Jiner.

“I’m sorry, Doctor Shao, I was just kneeling for too long and my legs were a bit numb, I just wanted to pull you to help me stand up, I didn’t expect you to fall towards me,” said Luo Jiner, expertly turning the blame around, making it seem as though she was the victim even though she had been the one to pull Doctor Shao first.

After a moment of shock, Old Madam went straight over and started asking Luo Jiner worriedly, “Is there anything wrong? Does your stomach feel uncomfortable?”

Luo Jiner shivering, shook her head and held the old woman’s hand, apologetically saying, “I’m sorry, Grandmother, it was always my fault in the past. You can hit me or scold me, it’s all allowed.”

“All that is in the past now, just take good care of the child in your belly,” said Old Madam.

She then turned to look at Shao He, her face full of suspicion, “Were you trying to harm the child?”

‘Which eye of yours saw me trying to harm her child? She herself said it was she who pulled me first,” Shao He pushed Chu Yu away, walking to a spot one meter from him and stopped.

This obvious disdain made Chu Yu very embarrassed, attributing all these reasons to Luo Jiner.

“Grandmother, haven’t you always disliked Luo Jiner? A venomous woman like her must not be allowed to leave offspring,” Chu Yu said, his tone filled with anger and hatred.

“You shut your mouth!” Old Madam, hearing this, pointed at Chu Yu and chastised, “This is your child, my great-grandchild. You might dislike Luo Jiner, but the child in her belly must be kept!”

Although she disliked Luo Jiner, she had never thought of killing her unborn child.

“Grandmother!” Chu Yu was again enraged.

He was well aware that if Luo Jiner gave birth, it would mean solidifying her standing in Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion, possibly making it inconvenient to remove her later.

“You, you…” Old Madam, gasping for air, her face pale.

Nanny Xu hurriedly helped her sit down, then turned to Chu Yu saying, “Marquis, please don’t anger Old Madam any further, her health has just started improving these past few days.”

Seeing his grandmother like this, Chu Yu felt quite helpless, but he absolutely could not allow Luo Jiner, this disaster, to remain. This time, he had completely seen through what kind of person Luo Jiner was.
