The Noble Lady's Rebirth: She just wants to Rest in Peace!-Chapter 355 - 347: Confirmation

Lin Youning heard her eldest brother’s answer, took a deep breath, and realized it was indeed as she had guessed.

She knew that this had happened in her previous life, and it should happen in this life too. Gu Er had been given medication to prevent him from having offspring, so he couldn’t have children with any woman. However, she had a child in her past life, and Brother Zong was not Gu Er’s child, so it’s very likely that he is the eldest brother’s child.

Last time, because of this matter, Lin Youning did not want to face his eldest brother. Now that she had come to terms with it, she understood it in her heart. When she asked in a probing manner, it turned out that it was the same in the past life. She just didn’t understand how the eldest brother had agreed in his previous life, and in this life, he didn’t agree with Gu Er’s notion. Is it because she has been in contact with the eldest brother for so many years? That’s why the eldest brother considered her feelings and didn’t agree to such a muddled idea?

Facing the surprise on her eldest brother’s face, Lingling smiled openly, without any trace of anger, "How can such a matter be hidden? Judging by your actions and Aunt’s attitude, I had guessed it. Besides, he was so calm at that time, able to come up with such an idea, which is also quite shocking to people."

No wonder Aunt was so angry, even severing the mother-son relationship.

Gu Yifeng didn’t speak, just held her hand tightly across the tea table, feeling both distressed and uncomfortable, not knowing what to say or how to express it.

"Alright, it’s all over now, these are things of the past. You see, even though you and Aunt didn’t tell me initially, I found out anyway. Aren’t I fine now? I’ve come to terms with it. With you and Aunt caring about me so much, I should be content." Lin Youning’s words were sincere.

Even having this matter confirmed gave her a sense of relief. So, Brother Zong should be the eldest brother’s child?

Now, in this life, she was pregnant again, wondering if Heaven would return Brother Zong to her.

"Silly girl." Gu Yifeng stroked her head, not knowing what to say.

In his heart, he was angry at his irresponsible brother. Sister Ning was so kind, someone they had watched grow up, how could he have such a thought?

Gu Yifeng didn’t know what he should do. He had already done what he could for his brother. Seeing his brother’s unchanged attitude, Gu Yifeng felt irritated.

Now tangled up with Princess Yuanhua, Gu Yifeng couldn’t be bothered to deal with his brother’s matters but didn’t expect him to visit today.

Lin Youning originally wanted to say a few words to comfort the eldest brother, but suddenly felt a discomfort in her stomach, covered her mouth, and couldn’t help but retch. Hearing the commotion inside, Shanmoi and Hainan rushed in, frightened at their master’s reaction.

After all, the young lady had been well these past few days. Gu Yifeng had someone fetch Nanny Guo, and after Guo Mengmeng came in, she only instructed someone to find that old doctor.

Hainan didn’t trust anyone else with this task, so he went personally.

Nanny Guo strode forward, "Young lady doesn’t seem to be unwell suddenly, perhaps it’s something she ate?"

She then inquired what Shanmoi had eaten in the morning. Shanmoi, looking anxious, said, "The things young lady eats now are all approved by the nanny. Besides, she ate something at the Wu Mansion yesterday, but nothing else."

Nanny Guo furrowed her brow, "The young lady looked fine yesterday after coming back, but today it’s like this. I suspect she might have eaten something disagreeable at the Wu Mansion."

"I knew Princess meant no harm; it must have been aimed at the young lady. When I went with the young lady to the Wu Mansion, we met the young lady of the Wu family, and I feel she was against our young lady," Shanmoi grumbled.

"Alright, we still don’t know what’s going on; don’t blame others just yet." Lin Youning suppressed her retching and stopped Shanmoi from saying more. "Go out and bring me some water. I want to wash up; the smell on me is too strong."

Lin Youning wanted to protect Shanmoi, as her eldest brother’s face darkened. Usually, Lin Youning didn’t care about Shanmoi’s lack of manners, but with her eldest brother present, she naturally didn’t like Shanmoi’s behavior.

Nanny Guo understood Lin Youning was looking out for Shanmoi and said, "It’s just as well; I made some herbal medicine for the young lady in the kitchen. Go check if it’s ready."

Shanmoi’s face changed, realizing that the Marquis was also present, she curtseyed and quietly stepped back.

Lin Youning saw Shanmoi was frightened, and once everyone was gone, glanced at Nanny Guo, who also withdrew. Only then did she speak, "Eldest brother, don’t be angry with Shanmoi, she’s just worried about me. Later, I’ll have Nanny Guo teach her some manners. Anyway, given her temperament, she’s a good match for Li Si. With Li Si tidying up after her, you’ll see, she’ll gradually become more steady."

Gu Yifeng knew she was making excuses for the maid, shaking his head with a smile, only asking, "How do you feel now?"

"Much better now, just was suddenly uncomfortable for a moment," Lin Youning replied, looking visibly better.

Gu Yifeng believed her but felt more confused, knowing her reactions weren’t typical of a pregnant woman. Thinking back to Sister Ning’s earlier poisoning, even with a faint smile on his face, his eyes grew colder.

Lin Youning immediately sensed the change in her eldest brother. "Don’t worry, I know how to protect myself. When eating at the Wu Mansion, I only ate what Wu Xueqin and others were eating. As for drinks, I didn’t touch any."

"Silly girl." Gu Yifeng didn’t know what to say to her.

After all, she insisted on visiting the Wu Mansion, and he couldn’t stop her. Now she knows to protect herself and recognize danger. Gu Yifeng didn’t know whether to scold her or praise her intelligence.

Lin Youning smiled, and just at that moment, the old doctor Hailan went to fetch arrived.
