After Kicking Over the Scumbag, the Whole City Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 196

Yanzhi's round little face was happily right in front of Gu Ying when she finally opened her eyes after sleeping very soundly last night due to exhaustion.

"Mistress, you're finally awake!"

Gu Ying's heart thumped loudly and it took her a moment to react. She glared at the little maid helplessly, "Yanzhi, what are you doing here..."

Hearing the hoarseness in her own voice made Gu Ying pause in surprise.

She hurriedly covered her lips, suddenly recalling her wild and reckless night with the Eldest Prince.

It was too embarrassing. She practically had no face to see anyone!

Like a frightened rabbit, she swiftly buried herself back under the covers, completely wrapping her head.

Yanzhi was shameless. Her little hands pulled at the covers, "Mistress, why are you shy? We heard everything last night!"

"Shut up!"

"The Eldest Prince ordered that once the Mistress wakes up, we must nourish your body. Mistress, quickly get up and have lunch. Don't worry, we won't say anything about last night. Yin Lan sister said it's normal for a newly wedded couple to be affectionate. It's just that the Eldest Prince is more valiant than other men, no, much more valiant!"

"Enough, Yanzhi! Keep quiet!"

Hearing the noises from the inner room, Yin Lan smiled and lifted the curtains to walk in. "Mistress, hurry and get up. The physician from Ping'an Pulse has already arrived at the manor to wait for you."

Only upon hearing this did Gu Ying's small flushed face peek out from under the covers.

"Ping'an Pulse?"

"It was ordered by the Eldest Prince. This physician specializes in women's illnesses and was also found by Lord Huai on the Eldest Prince's request. He said it's someone the Eldest Prince trusts."

Since it was the Eldest Prince's arrangement, Gu Ying was naturally at ease. With him here, she could patiently wait for his return to discuss Jiang Yin and Ning Si's matters.

In her previous life, she was alone without any support. Even after marrying her husband, the large rear courtyard only had Yanzhi to rely on.

But this life was completely different. 𝓯𝘳𝘦𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝓃ℴ𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝓬𝘰𝑚

She had her brother, Yanzhi, Yin Lan, Yin Zhu, and also the Eldest Prince.

Her heart was filled with indescribable warmth and gratitude. Even if Jiang Yin was reborn like her, she had confidence in defeating him again.

She moved her sore little waist, feeling as if all her bones were about to fall apart. It showed just how tormented the Eldest Prince was by that drug last night.

Yin Lan chuckled and came over to support her. Seeing her young mistress' bright red cheeks, she was extremely delighted.

"Be careful, Mistress."

Gu Ying's face turned even redder. "I know..."

Although the Eldest Prince had already cleaned her up last night, when she moved just now, she still felt a bit odd.

She was startled, suddenly recalling that things progressed too quickly last night. Afterwards, she was too tired and forgot to take the contraceptive medicine...

Seeing her frozen in place, Yin Lan immediately realized what was going on. She quickly said in a gentle tone, "Mistress, could it be you forgot the medicine?"

In order not to make the Eldest Prince overthink things, the medicine had always been kept with Yin Lan.

Last night, the Eldest Prince kept her completely occupied and Yin Lan had also gone to sleep. They both forgot about the contraceptive medicine.

Gu Ying bit her lip regretfully. "It's already past noon now..."

Yin Lan said worriedly, "Does Mistress still want to take it? If you do, this servant will go get it right away."

Gu Ying felt somewhat conflicted for a moment before deciding, "Taking it now is probably too late anyway. Then, I just won't take it."

She couldn't possibly... have gotten pregnant so perfectly last night...

Yin Lan nodded and comforted her with a smile, "That's fine. Calculating the days, the Mistress is about due for her monthly cycle anyway. Missing it once this time probably won't matter."

Gu Ying thought the same.

Just as the Eldest Prince said, she was still young and just a child herself. How could she nurture a child?

Moreover, due to the damage to her body in her previous life, she kept drinking medicine and getting acupuncture but was still unable to conceive. So in this life, she felt that her body probably wouldn't be able to easily get pregnant either. She likely didn't have the fate to bear children.

After silently struggling for a bit, she decided to put the matter aside for now.

She had gotten up late today and didn't go greet Cheng. But with the Eldest Prince's explanation, Cheng naturally didn't dare make a fuss. She had even specially sent a midwife to ask if Gu Ying was uncomfortable in her body.

Yin Lan casually gave an excuse to send the woman away. That midwife left with a smiling face.

Gu Ying gave her a thumbs up. "Yin Lan, you're truly amazing!"

"That midwife is a good friend of Sun Mammy. I heard the Eldest Prince still has Sun Mammy locked up in the firewood shed, so Cheng sent her over likely with other intentions."

"What did the Eldest Prince say?"

"The Eldest Prince said not to let her go."

"Then listen to the Eldest Prince."

The servants of Changfeng Pavilion had always stood upright and spoken tactfully in Prince Guo's manor. Ultimately, it was because the Eldest Prince doted on their young mistress. Yin Lan was honored and beamed radiantly, "Yes."

Yin Lan was truly skilled at dealing with interpersonal relationships and intrigues in the rear courtyard. She was at least ten times more reliable than Yanzhi.

Gu Ying was extremely satisfied with her. After getting up and eating lunch, she knew her thoughtful younger brother Gu Ning wouldn't disturb her since she had woken up late.

She asked a few questions about her brother's illness and breakfast.

Yin Lan answered everything which allowed Gu Ying to feel at ease. She pondered that according to Imperial Physician Wang, her brother's legs were actually caused by long-term erosion from poison which led to stagnation of his meridians and channels, resulting in his inability to get out of bed and walk. If the toxins could be removed, he said it wouldn't even take three months for the child to slowly try walking again.

She thought that although her brother was already ten years old and had missed the optimal age for training tendons and bones, they were descendants of an eminent household after all.

In any case, he would still have to learn some martial arts to avoid humiliating their father's reputation.

That's right. It was also very important to write a letter to Father.

Gu Ying arranged everything neatly in her heart. She enjoyed a nice hot bath and changed into clean clothes. Yanzhi then led the physician in.

The one who entered was a rather tall black-veiled woman. Although her appearance could not be seen clearly, judging from her worn brow that seemed nearly forty years old, she had simply tied up her hair and inserted a wooden hairpin. The black veil was very thick, completely hiding her face. Only a pair of slightly elongated, slender eyes were visible. From the area under her brow and eyes, some frightening scars could vaguely be seen.

She was likely disfigured so wore a face veil specifically. It appeared she was also an unfortunate one.

Huai An said, "Mistress, her name is Yu Gu. A few years ago she saved my Lord at the borders when he was poisoned. Later when my Lord fell ill he sought her for treatment. She is very skilled in women's illnesses but can also treat other diseases. Don't worry Mistress, Yu Gu must be one of our own."

Gu Ying didn't actually doubt Yu Gu. Since she was just a physician from Ping'an Pulse, Gu Ying wouldn't stand to lose anything either. So she smiled and said, "I know. Someone the Eldest Prince trusts, I will naturally also trust."

He had casually drank the drug she gave him last night. Even if she didn't have a sense of security towards men, she now had a level of trust in the Eldest Prince that ordinary people did not.

Huai An scratched his head and grinned foolishly. "In any case, even if our Lord harmed himself he definitely wouldn't harm the Mistress."

As Huai An finished speaking, Gu Ying's sharp eyes noticed Yu Gu's calm eyes move slightly. But they quickly regained their composure so fast that Gu Ying wondered if she had just seen wrongly.
