Xie Yi stood up in disbelief, for Pei Qin clearly couldn't have children and was even declared not to have long to live. How could she possibly be pregnant!? For a moment, she considered countless possibilities. To maintain her status as Madam Marquis of Xining; to capture Mo Heng's heart; to fend off the ambitious women including Wei Shu outside; thus, Pei Qin must be faking her pregnancy! She must be!
But when the news of Pei Qin's pregnancy broke, it was a matter of universal celebration, a cause for joyous uproar.
People were calling out to buy fireworks to celebrate this wonderful news! Some ran to the Manufacturing Bureau, telling Pei Qin not to come in anymore and to stay home and nurture her pregnancy instead. Upon learning that Pei Qin had taken leave and was resting at home, they sent over nourishing food and supplements.
