Liu Hao arrived twenty minutes later and immediately checked Xi Muru. He took her temperature, listened to her heartbeat, and checked her blood.
Everyone looked at Liu Hao nervously. It was clear that Mu Ru had a fever, but no one knew for certain how high her fever was or if there were any other complications.
"The first young Madam indeed has a fever. Her temperature is 39.8," Liu Hao said as he turned to Dongfang Yu, Dongfang Jun, and Dongfang Mei. After a moment of silence, he said, "However, First Young Madam is also pregnant. As for how long she's been pregnany, I reckon it'll take an ultrasound for us to find out!"
"What?" Everyone was shocked. They looked at each other, almost doubting if they had heard it right.
Xi Muru, who was still sitting on the sofa, was completely stunned. She looked at Dongfang Yu and then at Dongfang Jun, her eyes filled with confusion.
Pregnant?
It was an unfamiliar word to her, and she had become familiar with it only when Mu Xue became pregnant.
She never imagined herself being pregnant.
The family doctor, Liu Hao, had just confirmed that she was pregnant. How could this be?
She realized that she had been feeling nauseous recently. Could it be because she was pregnant?
She suddenly remembered that she had missed her period, but because she had been busy, she did not make a fuss about it. She simply ignored the fact that her period was delayed.
Dongfang Jun looked at his mother and at Dongfang Yu. "Don't tell me...Has Big Brother recovered?" he asked in shock.
No one answered him, because only Dongfang Mo could confirm it.
"What's going on? Why are you all gathered here?" Dongfang Yingwu asked as he entered. He frowned and looked at Xi Muru and Liu Hao. "What's wrong? Wasn't First Young Madam locked up in the wine cellar? Why is she here now? Is she sick?" he asked.
"She's not sick. She's pregnant!" Dongfang Mei said as she shook her head. She smiled bitterly and thought about the things that had happened. "There have been many strange things happening in this family in the past few months. Second Young Madam finally got pregnant, but she suffered from a miscarriage. Ah Mo is no longer capable...but First Young Madam is actually pregnant. Tell me—"
"I still can't figure out why you made me drink that medicine," Xi Muxue said in a loud voice. Her sharp voice echoed out from the stairwell. "So you're the one who's pregnant with a bastard. You wanted to let your bastard rise to power, so you did something to the child in my stomach, didn't you?"
"Second Sister-in-Law, how did you know that Sister-in-Law is pregnant with a bastard?" Dongfang Jun asked Xi Muxue unhappily. He snorted coldly and said, "How do you know so much about Big Brother's body?"
Xi Muxue was stunned and embarrassed, but she angrily shouted, "It's an open secret that Dongfang Mo's body is flawed. How could he have gotten her pregnant then? If she's not pregnant with a bastard, why would she do something to the child in my stomach?"
"I think what Mu Xue said makes sense," Dongfang Mei said. She looked at Dongfang Yu and said, "Actually, everyone knows that Ah Mo can't produce an offspring anymore. The baby that Mu Xue was carrying was actually the heir of the Dongfang family, but some women probably can't stand the loneliness and can't endure it. Now that Mu Ru is pregnant with an illegitimate child, she probably wants to give birth to it—"
