Marry a Duke

Chapter 32 The Child Must Stay

Doctor Wu was frightened by her words.

"Even if I have it, I dare not give it to anyone in the Duke's Mansion. Why don't you want this child? Is it your husband who doesn't want it?"

Fu Ran nodded.

"Yes, he doesn't like children." She said it naturally.

Doctor Wu was silent for a long time, but still did not prescribe abortion medicine for her. If she got sick after taking it, how could he, a mere doctor, fight against the Duke's Mansion?

Seeing that he was unmoved, Fu Ran tried hard to persuade him.

"In fact, I didn't know I was pregnant at the beginning, and I took a lot of medicine. Medicine is poisonous. I was afraid that the child had been poisoned and became stupid. What if he was born a fool? Would he blame me for the rest of his life for making him suffer since he was born?"

When she said this, she meant it sincerely.

So, my eyes were red.

Doctor Wu was somewhat moved.

"It's okay. Since the child is here, it's your fate. You need to discuss it with your husband whether to abort the baby or not. You can't do it on your own."

If a woman decides to abort a child without telling her husband, that is against the will of heaven.

What if her husband makes a fuss and wants to demolish her clinic?

Doctor Wu told her that if she didn't want the abortion, he would prescribe pregnancy-maintaining medicine for her.

If she really wants to have a fight, she has to discuss it with her husband and then go to his clinic to get a prescription.

Qi Ya sent Doctor Wu out.

Qi Ya was confused throughout the whole process, talking about children and abortion pills.

She later told her mother.

Her mother told another cook in the kitchen.

The news spread from one person to another, and eventually reached the ears of Madam Wei's servant, Li Ma.

Nanny Li informed Madam Wei of the news.

Old Madam Wei was drinking ginseng soup when she accidentally lost her grip and the soup spilled all over the floor.

Nanny Li immediately asked the maid to bring a handkerchief to wipe and clean up the floor.

"Don't worry, old lady. This is a good thing. Our Duke is not young anymore. People in Beijing who are about the same age as him already have several children at home."

"The old lady has always hoped that the Duke would marry and have children soon."

Before this, the Duke had married a wife and she was pregnant.

But who knew that the woman was not faithful to her husband. She had an affair with her cousin before marriage, and she was still having affairs with him after marriage. She got pregnant with her cousin's child and wanted to blame the Duke for it.

The Duke's Mansion originally intended to wait until she gave birth to the child before settling the account.

Who knew that she died of childbirth complications, leaving two lives.

The news of that woman cheating on the Duke spread out, bringing disgrace to the Wei family's reputation.

Therefore, the Wei family kept the news to themselves and did not spread it outside.

The rumor spread outside that the Duke was unlucky in marriage and had no children.

What the hell is going on? It's a complete injustice to their second master.

As a result, the Second Master has lost all interest in women for so many years.

The old lady was very anxious.

This time, he was tricked by the *** again and married someone he had no choice but to marry.

"No, no, this child is born out of order, and Fu Ran is the adopted daughter of a lord. Even if she gives birth to the child, can she be on the same page with us?"

Madam Wei doesn't believe in Fu Ran's loyalty.

She felt that she had always been around ***, and now that her family was controlled by ***, she had no choice but to obey ***.

However, Nanny Li felt that Fu Ran was pure in heart and was only forced to do so.

She had been harmed time and again by Princess Ruhui, so it was impossible for her not to have resentment towards her.

"Madam, the child is our Second Master's blood. If we don't take good care of the child, will Second Master marry again in the future? Miss Nian is a girl and cannot inherit the title in the future."

"Don't let the Duke of Wei's Mansion, which is so big, be left without someone to take over."

Madam Wei took all of Nanny Li's words to heart.

She was looking forward to it day and night, hoping that Wei Xuan would marry again and have a legitimate son as soon as possible.

Even though it is not easy to marry now, it is okay to take a few concubines and have a few illegitimate children.

As long as the illegitimate son is raised as the legitimate son, he will be able to inherit the Wei family in the future.

But Wei Xuan refused to listen and refused to take in any concubine.

"Have someone bring the maid over here, and invite Doctor Ji over."

Aunt Li obeys the order.

Send someone to invite Doctor Ji, the court physician.

She went to Juyuan in person to pick up Fu Ran.

I heard that she wanted to abort the baby in her belly. That baby is the flesh and blood of the Wei family, and it is not something that Fu Ran can decide alone.

When Nanny Li came to visit, Fu Ran didn't know that her pregnancy had already been revealed.

In the past two days, she has been worrying about how to deal with this child.

She was also afraid of having an abortion, as it would not only harm her body but also her life.

The baby in her belly is more than three months old and already has a heartbeat. It is a living little life, her flesh and blood.

"Why are you here, Madam Li? Does the old lady want to talk to me about something?" Fu Ran asked politely.

Aunt Li smiled and went forward to support her.

"The old lady heard something and is looking for you to have a chat. Please come with me."

Since the old lady has summoned him, there is no reason for Fu Ran not to go.

She followed him to the old lady's courtyard.

Doctor Ji was already waiting there.

As soon as Fu Ran sat down, the old lady asked Doctor Ji to come over and take his pulse.

Doctor Ji carefully took Fu Ran's pulse and confirmed that she was indeed pregnant.

"Replying to the old lady, the lady is indeed pregnant."

Upon hearing this, Madam Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

"When this child came, the mother took some medicine. Could it have any impact?"

Doctor Ji was not sure either.

"The child is still growing and developing. If it is not a deadly poison and the child continues to be produced in the mother's womb, there should be no impact. However, it is hard to say. We need to continue to observe in the future."

Doctor Ji's words made Fu Ran feel nervous.

Her affairs could no longer be concealed. She should know that there were no secrets in the Duke's Mansion.

"Madam, the Duke and I both took forbidden drugs that day. The child was conceived that day, and the effects of the drugs must have entered the womb. Later, I also took some medicine to regulate my body in the *** Mansion, and the child must have been affected."

"Please allow me to temporarily leave the Duke's Mansion. Once I have dealt with the child and no one else knows about it, I can return home."

Fu Ran just wanted to leave the Duke's Mansion as soon as possible.

After leaving the Duke's Mansion, she will decide the fate of the child.

If he wanted to stay, he couldn't continue living in the Duke's Mansion and be trapped in the Chrysanthemum Courtyard with her for the rest of his life.

It would be easier for her to escape alone, but if she escaped with a child, she would be in a completely unfamiliar world.

She didn't know where to escape.

I'm afraid that by then, I won't even be able to escape through the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

She is unloved, and so will her children.

The Wei family had no choice but to accept it, and they would certainly feel resentful.

"You want to leave the Duke's Mansion?" Old Madam Wei looked at her with complicated eyes.

Fu Ran wanted to, but she couldn't say it directly.

"No, I just want to take good care of this child and don't want to cause trouble for the Duke's Mansion."

Old Madam Wei saw that she had no intention of using the child to seek honor by virtue of the mother's status as a child.

I also let go of some of my prejudices against Fu Ran.

"The child belongs to the Wei family, so he should stay in the Wei family. You don't need to consider leaving the house."

Old Madam Wei made a decision immediately.

"Since he is a descendant of the Wei family, no matter whether he is smart or stupid, he is still a member of the Wei family. Don't think too much and take good care of your pregnancy. Doctor Ji, please prescribe some pregnancy-maintaining medicine."
