Chapter 104 The Bloodthirsty Admiral Who Keeps a Mistress 33

Incredulous, "You're pregnant?"

Chu Yuan nodded, "Yes, it's been four months."

"It's that scoundrel's?! How could that be? Isn't he a eunuch?!"

“He, he’s a fake…and Mother, he actually…”

Before she could finish speaking, Chu's mother had already anxiously opened the door and gone out.

In the courtyard, Sheng Kuan and Chu Xu were still discussing the exam questions. They thought it was a coincidence, but they were mostly happy and didn't suspect Chu Yuan.

Sheng Kuan peeked at Chu Yuan through the wide-open door, then stepped forward to stop Chu's mother. "Auntie, what are you rushing off to? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Chu's mother had a complicated expression, and it was hard to put into words. "I'm so sorry to trouble you, my child. We've been troubling you so much all this time."

It's basically like the son-in-law you were eyeing ended up with nothing.

I felt quite apologetic.

Sheng Kuan was completely baffled. "Why is Auntie being so polite today? Speaking of which, I should thank Miss Chu. If it weren't for her good luck, Xu'er and I wouldn't have passed the imperial examination together. People outside say that we, teacher and student, are both very happy. It will definitely be a beautiful story in the future."

If I could marry her, that would be the most beautiful story.

“Listen to this…listen to this…” Chu’s mother could hardly speak, and turned to Chu’s father to discuss countermeasures.

Before the two elders could take any action, news spread like wildfire that Chu Yuan was unfaithful and had secretly conceived a child with Sheng Kuan.

The women in the streets and alleys talked about how the two of them secretly plotted against each other, and how they acted suspiciously and deliberately. They described it in such detail that it was as if they were actually there.

Chu Yuan was in a daze. Wasn't the one she was fighting underground with Huo Jin, that troublesome devil?
