The abstinent and powerful minister is cold and aloof during the day, but he adores her in his dream

Chapter 325 More than once he overstepped the bounds

After the couple left, Wei felt increasingly puzzled.

Logically speaking, Wan'er's symptoms did indeed resemble morning sickness.

The two had only been married for half a month, how could she possibly be pregnant?

Unless the two had premarital relations...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but recall when her son had sworn back in Yangzhou that he and Wan'er had already been intimate.

It was because of this incident that she took it upon herself to arrange their marriage.

After calming down, she realized that her son wasn't that kind of person. He wouldn't disregard etiquette and do something so outrageous. He only said those things so that he could marry Wan'er.

Looking back now, she realized she had overestimated her son's character.

Wan'er's symptoms just now were clearly those of morning sickness.

It seems that the son really overstepped the bounds before marriage, and more than once.

Realizing this, Madam Wei was both shocked and furious. With a face full of anger, she ordered Granny Fang, "Bring the family law!"

"What?" Granny Fang was stunned.

By the time she realized what was happening, Madam Wei had already left.

Qingyun Residence.

After helping Zhiwan sit down, Lu Zhan dismissed the servants and sat down beside her to take her pulse.

Seeing his handsome face serious, Zhiwan felt a little flustered and stammered, "I probably caught a chill last night, which is why I vomited. I'm fine now."

After a moment, Lu Zhan withdrew his hand and asked gently, "When was your last period?"

His sudden mention of menstruation startled Zhiwan.

Realizing what she had said, her face flushed slightly. She lowered her head, fiddling with her handkerchief, before whispering, "About two weeks before you went to the hunting grounds."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhan paused, then grasped her hand and said, "So that means it's been a month and a half since you last came?"

Zhiwan looked up at him, bit her lip lightly, and remained silent.

Since the wedding, my cousin has been wanting to... Doesn't he know whether she came or not?
Lu Zhan had obviously thought of that too, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his handsome face.

And it's been exactly one month since that trip to the hunting grounds.

My cousin...it's highly likely that she really is pregnant.

Thinking it over, he pulled the person into his arms and said apologetically, "It's my fault."

Zhiwan didn't blame him.

My cousin is in the prime of his life, and since the two of them have just gotten married, it's always a bit difficult for him to... control himself.

"I didn't... blame you," she whispered, tugging at his sleeve.

Lu Zhan was taken aback. Looking down at her slightly flushed face, he realized that she had probably misunderstood him.

He coughed lightly, leaned down and whispered in her ear, "I meant the time before we went to the paddock."

Mentioning that time, Zhiwan's face turned even redder. "Why are you bringing this up? And why did you ask me about... menstruation just now?"

Seeing that she hadn't reacted yet, Lu Zhan gently stroked her wrist and said softly, "I just took your pulse and found... a pregnancy pulse."

"What?" Zhiwan stared at him blankly, then, realizing what he meant, she quickly touched her abdomen and asked in bewilderment, "You mean... I'm pregnant?"

"Yes, that's possible." Lu Zhan nodded. "That's why I asked you, when was your last period?"

Zhiwan was taken aback.

Her periods have always been irregular, so she didn't think much of it this time when her period was so long late.

She had suddenly vomited in the orchid courtyard, but she didn't think about the fact that she was pregnant.

Looking back now, she might really have been pregnant...

The day before my cousin went to Weichang, they had already... It's been a little over a month since then.

But she hasn't had her period for a month and a half...

After a long pause, she finally found her voice and said uncertainly, "But my periods have always been irregular, so it's not necessarily..." Lu Zhan reached out and touched her flat stomach. "I know, don't be afraid. We'll see again after some time."

He hoped he had made a mistake in his diagnosis.

There is still very little time, and the possibility of a misdiagnosis is extremely high, but he has a feeling that he has not made a misdiagnosis.

Zhiwan wasn't actually afraid; on the contrary, she was somewhat looking forward to it.

She likes children.

It would be even better if she could give birth to a child with her cousin as soon as possible.

So when she heard that she might be pregnant, she was just a little surprised and taken aback, but she wasn't scared.

Unable to resist, she lowered her head and touched her stomach again.

There's a good chance a little life is already growing inside.

How amazing!

"Cousin, do you prefer a boy or a girl?" Zhiwan turned to look at Lu Zhan, her beautiful eyes full of anticipation.

"I..." Lu Zhan was about to answer when his expression froze instantly when he saw the person entering from outside the door. "Mother?"

Zhiwan was startled and looked up to see her mother-in-law walking in from outside.

Zhiwan was somewhat surprised.

When did my mother-in-law arrive?
Why didn't anyone report this?
Did her mother-in-law hear what she and her cousin were saying just now?
Soon, Wei gave her an answer.

As soon as my mother-in-law came in, she grabbed a feather duster from the wall and stormed off at my cousin.

"Lu Zhan, you're really something!" Madam Wei exclaimed, raising the feather duster in her hand and striking Lu Zhan directly.

"Snapped!"

Seeing his mother's fury, Lu Zhan did not dodge and took a solid blow to his right arm.

Zhiwan was startled. Seeing that her mother-in-law was about to hit her cousin, she quickly stood up and stood in front of him, anxiously saying, "Mother, let's talk this out. Please don't hit my cousin."

Wei said angrily, "Why are you still protecting this scoundrel? He's clearly taking advantage of your youth, your ignorance, and your gullibility."

“No, my cousin didn’t bully me or lie to me,” Zhiwan said, shaking her head. She was bewildered by her mother-in-law’s sudden outburst of anger.

Seeing this, Madam Wei became even angrier at her son.

She pointed at Lu Zhan with a feather duster and said, "You unfilial son, are you trying to anger me to death? I trusted you so much, and you... If you're still a man, stand up and don't hide behind Wan'er."

Lu Zhan: "..."

When he saw his mother burst in, he knew that he hadn't kept the truth from her.

Mother knows now.

He paused, stood up, pulled his cousin away from him, and gently instructed her, "Go back to your room first, don't come out."

“But…” Zhiwan looked at her angry mother-in-law, then at her cousin, and was very worried.

"Sweetie, go inside first. I have something to tell Mother." Lu Zhan patted her shoulder and coaxed her gently.

Despite her anger, Madam Wei urged, "Wan'er, go inside quickly."

She didn't want the sight of her whipping her son to frighten Wan'er.

Zhiwan was still a little worried and couldn't help but say, "Mother, please promise me that you will never hit my cousin again."

A loving mother's smile immediately appeared on Madam Wei's face, and she nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I absolutely won't hit him." Of course not! She'd beat her son until his skin was torn and bleeding!

This unfilial son used any means necessary to marry Wan'er, and now he's gone even further, tricking Wan'er into sleeping with him before the wedding.

How could she have given birth to such a refined scoundrel?
After being persuaded by the two men, Zhiwan finally entered the inner room, turning back every few steps.

As soon as she entered, Madam Wei tossed a handkerchief to her son, saying, "Gag your mouth and don't make a sound!"

Lu Zhan's temple throbbed, and he put the handkerchief aside. "No need."

"You said it yourself!" Wei said, throwing down the feather duster in her hand and rushing out the door.
