Chapter 831: The Disabled Young Master 44

 And whenever He Jiantong thought about someone trying to scheme against Tang Wan, trying to get her pregnant and such, his eyes couldn't help but turn somewhat vicious.

Tang Wan keenly noticed that something was wrong and hurriedly asked, “Tongtong, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?”

Hearing this, He Jiantong immediately put his smile back on his face. Then he shook his head and said, “It's nothing. I just suddenly thought of something unpleasant. Don't worry. It'll be resolved soon.”

As he spoke, the look he gave Tang Wan became increasingly gentle.

He had merely let a trace of his emotions slip out by accident, yet she had noticed it immediately. It was clear that she had always held him close to her heart.

How could he not love such a Wanwan? How could he bear to let other people scheme against her?

Anyone who wanted to harm her would have to pay the price!

……

At this moment, Little Cutie told Tang Wan what Fourth Madam had said.

After learning about it, Tang Wan felt as though her entire worldview had been shattered.

Damn!

Was He Chong really her biological son?

Encouraging her own son to seduce his younger brother's wife—was Fourth Madam's brain broken?

Fortunately, although He Chong was a womanizer, he could still distinguish right from wrong. Otherwise, if he had actually dared to listen to Fourth Madam and come over to seduce her, she would definitely have made him understand exactly why flowers were so red!

But since He Jiantong didn't say anything, she pretended not to know anything either and didn't continue asking.

It was obvious that Tongtong didn't want her to know about this.

……

In the blink of an eye, another six months passed.

By now, the storm caused by the emperor's fury and the mass execution of corrupt and fraudulent officials had gradually died down, and the various branches of the He family had begun becoming active again.

One of the matters they brought up was encouraging He Jiantong and Tang Wan to adopt a child from within the clan.

But unexpectedly, Tang Wan immediately announced that she was already three months pregnant.

The moment the news came out, the wives from the various branches were all stunned.

Then they looked at Tang Wan suspiciously.

Seeing this, Tang Wan immediately sneered.

“I wonder why all of you aunts are so surprised? Could it be that you think the child in my belly isn't Tongtong's? Hmph. My Tongtong broke his legs, not his manhood.”

Hearing this, the women hurriedly said, “Tang Wan, what nonsense are you talking about? When did we ever doubt you? We were just too surprised! Now that you're pregnant, we're relieved!”

“That's right, that's right. If Third Brother and the others knew about this from the afterlife, they would certainly be very comforted.”

“Is that so? Then I suppose I'll just consider it me being petty and judging you with a suspicious mind!” Tang Wan said coldly.

……

While Tang Wan had a happy occasion approaching, things were not going well for Chu Pan'er.

As the saying went, it was easy to gain weight but difficult to lose it. Because the Old Madam of the Marquis's Residence had deliberately given Chu Pan'er a great deal of nourishing food during her pregnancy, she had gained at least thirty or forty jin.

After her difficult delivery, Li Shuai was afraid something might happen to her health, so he gave her even more good things to nourish her body.

Unexpectedly, after all that nourishment, Chu Pan'er's weight simply wouldn't come back down.

One extra pound could ruin everything. With all that weight gain, Chu Pan'er's looks naturally declined along with it.

On top of that, the child had been taken away and raised by the Old Madam, which left Chu Pan'er extremely dissatisfied. She complained to Li Shuai every day, and no matter how much he loved her, even he was beginning to find it difficult to endure.

Just then, the Old Madam directly gave him two women who were countless times more beautiful than Chu Pan'er.

Li Shuai initially refused.

But after the Old Madam spoke to him about it, he reluctantly accepted them.

Both women had been carefully trained, so naturally, they knew exactly how to please a man.

Thus, within just a few days, Li Shuai was unable to resist.
