Chapter 747 - The Battle Between Two White Lotuses VIII
Previously, no matter what Tan Shuangshuang told Liu Yuchen, he would trust her without any doubt. Hence, he had annoyed Feng Ruqing again and again until one day… Feng Ruqing had had enough of him and dumped him.
“When you were in the secular world, I had to adhere to the rules. Now that you have stepped into the Mu family, you are my wife. No one dares to say anything if I penalize my own wife.” Mu Ling snarled, his eyes were icy cold.
“Take her to the torture chamber, squeeze her fingers with sticks and slap her until her lips split! I want to see if she dares to make any irresponsible remarks again in the future.”
It was fortunate that Qingyan was simple-hearted and never hold grudges. If anyone else heard this, even Suyi… would hold grudges against him and never tell him the things that she had heard. Hence, it would only worsen the whole situation.
Tan Shuangshuang’s body slumped to the ground. A flicker of fear crossed her eyes.
“No, I don’t want to be punished! I want to leave here! I want to leave the Mu family!” Tan Shuangshuang flew into a great panic and stumbled toward the door. She had never felt so regretful before. If only she had known that Chen Qingyan was such a dreadful lady and that Mu Ling was such a fool before this, she would never step into the Mu family. At least, Liu Fuyong protected her.
Just as Tan Shuangshuang took a few steps forward, Han Yi blocked her way.
Bang!
Han Yi’s palm fell on Tan Shuangshuang’s shoulder, sending her flying backward. Her face was ghastly pale.
“Ouch! My stomach hurts! It is killing me!” Tan Shuangshuang was rolling on the ground in pain.
“Tan Shuangshuang, stop acting!” Mu Ling merely frowned.
“My stomach hurts! It really hurts…” Beads of cold sweats could be seen covering Tan Shuangshuang’s head.
Mu Ling signaled Han Yi to check Tan Shuangshuang. Although Han Yi barely knew some basic medical skills, he could tell whether or not she was acting.
Han Yi approached Tan Shuangshuang. When his hand felt her pulse, his body stiffened.
“Young Manor Master… she is forty days pregnant.”
Forty days ago was the day Mu Ling was drugged.
Chen Qingyan lost her balance and could only stand by clinging onto Mu Ling’s arms.
She pursed her lips, her face was ghastly pale.
Tan Shuangshuang was pregnant with Mu Ling’s child! Once again, the man whom Chen Qingyan loved the most had gotten another lady pregnant!
She could feel as if a hammer was hitting at her heart, over and over again. Currently, even if she tore both Tan Shuangshuang and his child apart, she was not capable of wiping out the agony tearing at her heart.
“Qingyan…” Mu Ling hurriedly held onto Chen Qingyan’s arms and turned to glare at Han Yi.
“What are you doing? Take her to the torture chamber! Don’t hurt her child…”
After all, Tan Shuangshuang was pregnant with Mu Ling’s child. Mu Ling only had two sons—Nan Xian who had never listened to him and Mu Xi whom he could never count on. Hence, he simply could not do anything to Tan Shuangshuang before his child was born.
As soon as Tan Shuangshuang knew that she was pregnant, her face did not change but her body shook violently.
Forty days ago, Liu Fuyong had had a quarrel with Lady Liu as she had caught Liu Fuyong in bed with Tan Shuangshuang. Hence, besides Mu Ling, Tan Shuangshuang had actually slept with Liu Fuyong on the very same day.
However, this child must be Mu Ling’s. Mu Ling was drugged and had slept with her over and over again for half a month. He was so strong whereas Liu Fuyong was just a weak old coot. Hence, she must be pregnant with Mu Ling’s child!
