My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 1153 - 1159: I’m Pregnant

"The Palace is full of secrets. Otherwise, why would the Saint have so many concubines and yet so few sons? Perhaps this Little Prince is actually brought back by the Side Concubine to deceive Prince Liang."

"Wouldn’t the Prince be raising another’s child then? If it’s true, he would surely go mad!

"Not just the Prince; which man could tolerate this?"

Seeing Prince Liang’s face turn gloomy, the attendant quickly said, "Prince, I will teach them a lesson right away."

"No need." Prince Liang placed his hands behind his back.

The attendant stood aside with bowed head. Prince Liang was naturally suspicious, and it seemed he was starting to suspect the Side Concubine.

Back door of the Government Office.

Ping’er stuffed prepared pouches of money into the hands of two women.

"Take this silver and leave quickly."

These two were purposely placed by Yi Ling in the bamboo grove to keep Mo’er busy and out of the way, lest she becomes idle and causes more trouble.

The two women weighed the pouch and then said with a smile, "Don’t worry, we know what to do."

Once they left this courtyard, they would never admit they had been to the Prefecture Officer or taken anyone’s silver.

Ping’er nodded, though she didn’t mind at all if the matter was known to others.

As this was originally unfounded, the more people talked about it, the more likely Prince Liang would believe it to be true.

After the banquet dispersed, Prince Liang entered the study.

No matter what document he read, he felt irritable. Eventually, he simply tossed the papers aside and turned to look at the maid beside him.

"Do you think Yi’er and I resemble each other?" Prince Liang asked coldly.

The Maid quickly knelt down. "This servant does not understand what the Prince means, please forgive me." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

How should she answer this question?

She dared not lie to the Prince, but she feared saying the truth might get her killed.

Impatient, Prince Liang said, "Did I ask you to kneel? Answer my question quickly, or I’ll have you beheaded right now!"

"The Little Prince does not resemble your Highness much, but it’s common for children to look like their mothers. It’s normal for the Little Prince to look like the Side Concubine Lady. Moreover... perhaps when the Little Prince grows up a bit more, he might take after you."

The Maid spoke timidly.

Her first words were true, but what followed was fabricated just to pacify Prince Liang.

Prince Liang was silent for a long while before he said, "You may leave."

The Maid felt a great relief and hurriedly left the room, as if she had been sitting with a demon.

The attendant couldn’t help but say, "Prince, you shouldn’t listen to those gossiping women. The Little Prince was earnestly awaited by you and the Empress."

There are three unfilial acts, of which the lack of a son is the greatest. Who could take the throne without a son?

Thus, even if the child was someone else’s, Prince Liang had to swallow his resentment.

Prince Liang sighed, "Go investigate everything the Side Concubine has done in the temple, who she has contacted. Make sure you find out everything, and leave no stone unturned."

He doubted that Mo’er would commit such reckless acts but still wanted peace of mind.

"Yes."

The attendant bowed and then lightly leaped out of the window.

At that moment, Prince Liang’s heart was in turmoil, and just then, Mo’er came in holding the child.

Prince Liang glanced at the child only once before turning his eyes away. The more he saw, the less he felt any similarity to himself—there was not even a hint of likeness.

Could it really be that Mo’er had cuckolded him?

Damnation, if the child was merely a bast**d, then all the affection he had invested was in vain!

"Yi’er, smile at your father. Make him as happy as you are; won’t you?" Mo’er brought the child closer.

(I’ve got a new baby, and my family won’t let me write much, so updates are slow. I hope for your understanding.)
