The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2701: Chapter 32: Seeking a Physician in Public

"You say the child in your belly belongs to Third Master. Then how about we invite a doctor to take a look at you?" Mu Shuang said unhurriedly. "Let the doctor count the days for this child, how about that?"

Back when Xiaoyu left the residence until now, it hasn’t even been two months. Even if she got pregnant very quickly, the timing of the child still doesn’t match up with Ye Rongqing.

"Miss Mu, in the Capital City which doctor doesn’t have to look at the Mu Family’s face? The Mu Family is a medical clan—because they don’t want to offend you, they probably wouldn’t dare tell the truth, right?"

Mu Shuang smiled. "That’s no problem; I won’t show my face. Aren’t these people behind you all very enthusiastic? Let them run the errand. Just don’t say who the consultation is for—surely there’ll be no issue then, right?"

"That works too!" The middle-aged woman said, "I think it works. The man says he’s right, the woman says she’s right—arguing like this isn’t a solution. And we can call several doctors over. If one doesn’t work, surely two won’t both be useless?"

She thought for a moment and immediately said, "I’ll go!"

"I’ll go too!"

"..."

At this point, Xiaoyu’s face didn’t look so good anymore.

She was indeed pregnant, but she hadn’t even been pregnant for a month yet. If they really examined her, the dates would obviously not match.

She couldn’t help getting anxious.

She thought for a bit, then stood up and leaned forward slightly, speaking softly to Mu Shuang, "You’d best agree to let me enter the residence, otherwise don’t blame me for exposing your dirty secrets."

"What are you saying to Shuangshuang?" Ye Rongqing glared at her. "I’ve never seen anyone like you—truly disgraceful to the extreme."

Xiaoyu didn’t speak, just stared fixedly at Mu Shuang.

Mu Shuang only laughed. "Go ahead and talk. Let’s see, when the truth comes out later, whether anyone believes you."

"You!" In fact, Xiaoyu naturally didn’t dare say it out loud, because that person had forbidden her to speak.

So right now she only wanted to threaten Mu Shuang a bit, but hadn’t expected Mu Shuang to be completely unafraid.

Her heart tangled itself into knots. How was she supposed to step down later? Should she stay now, or should she run?

In the dark, a pair of eyes took in this entire scene.

Secretly cursing, "Another useless piece of trash!"

That single word "another" deeply pricked the person beside them.

"Madam, what should we do now?"

"What do you mean what should we do? We go back to the residence!"

There was clearly not going to be any good show to watch next. That Xiaoyu couldn’t accomplish anything at all and had wasted her whole morning.

"Aunt, why don’t we spend a bit of silver and intercept the doctors on the way?"

Madam Situ glared at her. "Don’t you know both the Mu Family and the Ye Family have shadow guards? Even if their masters don’t show up, those people will definitely tail the doctors who’ve been called over."

"Come on, let’s go back to the residence!"

In front of the Gathering Pavilion, the doctors arrived quickly, and by then only Xiaoyu and the others were out front; Mu Shuang and Ye Rongqing had followed the plan and gone to hide inside the room.

Xiaoyu thought that the situation was very unfavorable for her now.

Her eyes rolled, then she pointed at one of the doctors. "You’re a doctor, you’re supposed to tell the truth. If you lie because you fear the Mu Family, heaven’s thunder will strike you down."

At first hearing, the words sounded fine, but on closer taste, something felt off.

The auntie who had helped go invite them earlier hurriedly said, "Hey, what’s wrong with you, girl? The one you were talking to just now was a Li Family girl—how did she become a Mu Family girl? Doctor, there are no Mu Family girls here. Quickly examine her and see how many months along she is."

The others, interrupted by the auntie, also suddenly remembered what didn’t sit right. They’d agreed not to bring up the Mu Family, yet this girl had taken the initiative to mention the Mu Family—plainly suspicious.

"This girl, just now you grabbed that young lady’s fiancé and claimed he was the father of your child, and now you’re talking about some Miss Mu. Don’t tell me you don’t even know who the father of your child is?"

"Haha..."

Someone burst out laughing.
