Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2702: Chapter 2638: Truly Shameless

"Oh my gosh, what are they saying? Wasn’t Miss Lu always waiting devotedly for the Sixth Young Master? How could she, how could she have a child?"

"That’s why the Jiang Family feels like they’ve swallowed a dead fly now! Although Miss Lu used to say she was waiting for the Sixth Young Master, the Jiang Family has always treated her like one of their own daughters-in-law. Miss Lu lives in a very nice courtyard at the Jiang Family, and every year they send her lots of gifts. Whenever Miss Lu has a request, how often has the Jiang Family not met her wishes?"

"Exactly, precisely, I even heard that the Jiang Family was planning to wait a few more years. The Sixth Young Master’s share of the inheritance was meant to be divided with Miss Lu."

"Gosh, thinking about it is terrifying. What exactly is Miss Lu’s agenda? Doesn’t seem like she’s been waiting for the Sixth Young Master for twenty years?"

"Yeah, so who’s the father of the baby in her belly?"

"Hey, do you think it’s possible that now she’s pregnant, maybe she’s already had a child before? Is this the second or more?"

"Oh my, this is shocking!"

"I have a relative working at the Pingzhou Daily. Should I ask them to check it out?"

"You really have this kind of connection? Alright then, quickly have them investigate! We truly want to see whether Miss Lu is human or ghost!"

"Yeah, the Sixth Young Master is really pitiful. After such a big incident, he came back and nearly got forced to be a cheap father."

Yue Yang’s people just picked up a couple of facts, not expecting the audience’s imagination to run wild, speculating about which pregnancy this was for Miss Lu.

They were secretly breaking into a cold sweat, realizing how frightening gossipmongers can be.

Yet for the Lu Family, for Lu Shuangshuang, the Jiang Family was merely returning the favor. How many times had the Lu Family used this tactic to suppress the Jiang Family over the years?

In the short time since the Sixth Young Master returned to the Jiang Family, how many times had the Lu Family used this tactic to force him to marry Lu Shuangshuang?

When Old Master Lu and Lu Junyou failed against Jiang Shiheng, and tried to lift Lu Shuangshuang from the Jiang Family, the rumors outside could no longer be quelled for a while.

Jiang Shiheng, however, let them follow Chen Yiping’s advice, not to move Lu Shuangshuang rashly at this time, but this was already a complete fallout. Old Master Lu didn’t trust them, insisting on taking Lu Shuangshuang away.

He believed that asserting himself now would be beneficial; otherwise, he’d appear guilty and unsure of what demands the Jiang Family might make.

In comparison, Lu Shuangshuang’s physical well-being seemed less important now.

Of course, when taking her out, they hoped no one would see, so Old Master Lu sent people to clear the field.

Yet they didn’t know that someone secretly climbed a tree and saw Lu Shuangshuang being carried out.

They covered Lu Shuangshuang tightly, intending to hide her bald head and bruises, but the news that spread revealed her belly was already quite obvious, likely more than two months pregnant.

At the hospital, this time they ensured the ward was quiet without outsiders able to approach and disturb them. While the doctor examined Lu Shuangshuang, Old Master Lu sat outside with a sullen face.

"Is the child in Shuangshuang’s belly yours?"

Lu Junyou stood beside him with lowered head, speaking in a low voice, "If there really is one, then yes."

Old Master Lu jumped up, slapping his head with one hand.

With a loud smack.
