Chapter 310 The child in your womb, are you sure it's Zhou Buyan?
The next day, Chu Xingchen received the memorial from Northern Xinjiang in Chaoshang, and Zhou Muching returned to Feng'an City soon.
Zhou Buyan's specific return date is on the day of Xiaoshu. It's hot and it's a holiday.
Chu Xingchen also decided to take a day off.
She didn't know the specific time of Zhou Buyan's return, but she expected that if he came back, he would come to her as soon as possible.
But in the afternoon and evening, Zhou Buyan was nowhere to be seen.
But listen, people should come back.
"What's going on?"
Seeing that the sun had gone down, Chu Xingchen couldn't sit still. Although it was still hot, he couldn't help but leave the palace.
Instead of going to Zhou Zhai, she chose a teahouse. Opposite the teahouse was the alley leading to Zhou Zhai. If Zhou Buyan wanted to come back, he would definitely pass by here.
The people living nearby are either rich or noble, and the shops they open are relatively elegant. There are also some scholars in the teahouse admiring calligraphy and paintings.
Although it is evening, the wind blowing is still a bit warm.
Chu Xingchen took the calligraphy and paintings on the nearby bookshelf for guests to see, and looked at the alley opposite while flipping through them.
After a while, I saw a carriage driving out of the alley, and the carriage stopped in front of the pastry shop opposite.
Then Chu Xingchen saw the familiar maid Xiao En get out of the car and hurriedly ran towards the snack shop.
Chu Xingchen frowned, who was Xiao En serving? Could it be that Zhong Shengwan also came back with Zhou Buyan?
Chu Xingchen looked at the carriage below without saying a word.
Xiao En quickly bought the pastries and handed them in, "Girl, I bought them..."
I can't hear the words behind it clearly.
Just as the carriage was about to leave, it was stopped again, "Wait a minute."
Xiao En got out of the car again, and whispered anxiously to persuade the people in the car, but it seemed that he failed to persuade them, and could only help the people in the car to get out of the car.
She was wearing a veil, but Chu Xingchen could tell at a glance that this person was really late.
Aren't you raising pigs when the bell rings late?
Did Zhou Buyan bring back the people she drove away?
Not only were they brought back, but they were also carefully cared for and bought, eaten and drank?
My life was very comfortable.
As for this matter, Zhou Buyan didn't say a word to her.
Chu Xingchen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Go, bring her up to me."
Xiao En and Xiao En came out of the pastry shop at the sound of a late bell. Just as they were about to get on the carriage, they were gagged and pushed in front of Chu Xingchen.
Chu Xingchen took a sip of tea before asking, "Aren't you raising pigs? Why are you back?"
Hearing the word "pig raising", Zhong Shengwan seemed to smell a stench on his body that could not be washed away.
She was forced to kneel on the ground, her hands firmly clasped on the ground, and she said nothing.
Xia Zhi looked very unhappy. She walked over and bent down in Chu Xingchen's ear, whispering, "Your Majesty, her belly..."
"Tummy? What's wrong with her belly?"
There was a carriage blocking the carriage just now, but Chu Xingchen didn't see anything. When she heard this, she looked at Zhong Shengwan's belly.
The person who was suppressing the late ringing of the bell picked her up and lifted her up so that Chu Xingchen could see her.
Chu Xingchen saw Zhong Shengwan's belly at a glance.
Just at this glance, Chu Xingchen's expression changed.
Because of the late bell, my belly is abnormally big.
Her limbs are still slender, but her belly is bigger. The skirt she wears is loose, but it can still be seen that her belly is bigger, not just fatter than usual.
She is...pregnant.
Pregnancy... The bell rang late and I was pregnant.
Judging by the size of her belly, she is still a month old.
It was a mild summer day in June, so hot that people were sweating, but Chu Xingchen felt the cold.
I came back after three months, but I was pregnant.
Oh.
The air became silent. Chu Xingchen looked at Zhong Shengwan's belly and glanced at Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi had a clever idea, "Everyone get out."
She took the people out, and only Zhong Shengwan and Chu Xingchen were left in the house.
Zhong Shengwan held her belly and bent down with difficulty, "The daughter of the people has seen your majesty..."
Chu Xingchen interrupted her directly, "Is this child Zhou Buyan's?"
Chu Xingchen's question was very direct. Zhong Shengwan lowered his head, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and replied in a trembling voice, "Yes...she is the queen of the Zhou family."
Chu Xingchen's gaze was as sharp as a knife.
Zhong Shengwan seemed to feel the pressure and hurriedly added, "However, he didn't know that the girl told him that it was not his."
She carefully explained, "It's true what Minnu said before that she should forget about it. This child was an accident. It was too late when it was discovered and it was too dangerous. It was more than three months ago. If we don't keep the child well, Minnu might also die.
And I may never have another child in my life."
"The daughter of the people had no choice but to keep the child. It really was not intentional. The daughter of the people can guarantee that this is just the child of the daughter of the people and will have nothing to do with him in the future."
"Your Majesty, the life experience of this child will definitely be rotten in the belly of the civilian daughter. She will never mention it again. She will only treat it as her own child. Please believe in the civilian daughter."
She raised her head and looked at Chu Xingchen, stretched out her hand and swore, "If a civilian girl can't do it, there will be a lightning strike from the sky, one dead and two dead."
This oath is really cruel, but is this what she cares about?
Chu Xingchen didn't answer her words and just asked, "How many months has it been?"
"More than six months." Zhong Shengwan replied carefully.
Chu Xingchen counted the time silently, more than six months ago, half a year ago, the time was indeed right.
"Are you sure it's Zhou Buyan's child? Don't talk about whether it's after the Zhou family or not after the Zhou family. Just say it's Zhou Buyan's."
There are so many family members in this life, so why bother talking about the Zhou family?
Zhong Shengwan stiffened for a moment and whispered, "Yes."
"Yes?" Chu Xingchen leaned forward slightly, hooked Zhong Shengwan's chin with his fan, and forced her to look up.
"You know there is something called a test stone in this world, right? After the child is born, you will know if it is Zhou Buyan's child by taking a test. I will personally verify it at that time. If it is not Zhou Buyan's child..."
She took back the fan and said, "You will know the consequences of bullying the emperor."
Zhong Shengwan's hands trembled for a few times without saying anything. Chu Xingchen's eyes darkened, "Get out."
After waiting for so many days, Zhou Buyan didn't wait until Zhou Buyan recovered her previous memories, but she did wait until her pregnant belly was swollen.
But Zhou Buyan still didn't say anything to this child.
She didn't know anything, she didn't know that Zhong Shengwan had followed him back, or that Zhong Shengwan was pregnant.
To this day, I saw it with my own eyes.
Zhong Shengwan was very obedient, but after turning around, he suddenly paused, took out a handkerchief, and carefully handed the contents back to Chu Xingchen.
"Your Majesty, the daughter of the people didn't have time to return the earrings last time. Is this yours? The daughter of the people saw it when she was making the bed and put it away..."
The pearl rabbit earring she took out happened to be the one that Chu Xingchen had guessed must have fallen on Zhou Buyan's bed. It was also the one that Zhong Sheng had specially picked up when she returned to Zhou's house late at night.
Chu Xingchen glanced at the earrings, then at Zhong Shengwan, who seemed respectful and kind-hearted but was actually intentional, and suddenly grabbed her by the neck and pressed her down on the table.
Zhong Shengwan had difficulty breathing. Looking at Chu Xingchen's stern eyes, he was really stunned.
She didn't expect that Chu Xingchen would take action again, she thought he wouldn't.
Zhong Shengwan's face turned red from suppressing it, and Chu Xingchen snorted, "How dare you provoke me? Are you very proud of being pregnant with a child? But have you ever thought that the general in your mouth has another identity, that he is the Zhou Dynasty in the palace?"
Jun."
Chu Xingchen's voice was extremely cold, "If a man in the harem has an illegitimate child outside, how many lives do you think you have? Who gave you the confidence that this child can be born safely?"
"If this matter spreads, don't talk about him, you will only die and lose two lives."
