Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Honestly Confess"I..." Lei Qianqian was terrified, trembling all over. "Who is the adulterer?" The rage grew stronger as the voice came nearer, old Huang Family’s spit even spraying onto Lei Qianqian’s face. Under normal circumstances, Lei Qianqian would have certainly found it disgusting, this disgusting old woman. But now, she had no time to be disgusted—only fear remained in her heart. What did this old woman want to do? Sёarch* The NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. No, she couldn’t admit it. How could she admit to such a thing? Did she no longer want to live, or care about her face? And the child, the patriarch of the Gu Family had said, if it was a son, he would be the Gu Family’s eldest great-grandson, and he was to be raised to become a magistrate someday, while she would be the magistrate’s mother. She could rely on her son to live a good life for the rest of her days. The Gu Family, what were the people of the Gu Family? Weren’t they all her servants, to attend to her and her son for a lifetime? These days, she had grown accustomed to being treated like the Empress Dowager by the people of the Gu Family. But all this was because she might be carrying the eldest great-grandson of the Gu Family in her belly. If it weren’t for this child, if they knew the truth... Lei Qianqian dared not imagine the consequences. So, she couldn’t admit it. "Grandma, what are you saying? Don’t talk nonsense and ruin the reputation of your granddaughter-in-law and the Gu Family’s reputation." Old Huang Family was slightly taken aback. The reputation of the Gu Family, yes, the Gu Family’s reputation. Wasn’t it precisely because she was considering the reputation of the Gu Family that she hadn’t told anyone, but was investigating this matter secretly behind their backs? The Gu Family was well-respected for miles around. Although there were occasional conflicts in the family, luckily, the daughters and daughters-in-law were all diligent, good at fieldwork, which made them the richest in the village. But now, why did such a woman come along and shatter it all? This wretch, even using reputation to threaten her. No, she couldn’t let the eldest great-grandson of the Gu Family be someone else’s seed, nor could she let the Gu Family’s reputation be ruined. "You little wretch, confess to me now! Keep playing the fool, and I swear on the Gu Family’s reputation, I will drag you and your Lei Family to face the magistrate." When the mention of dragging the Lei Family to the magistrate was made, Lei Qianqian finally realized this matter was harder to deal with than she had imagined. Was her denial useful? Once they saw the magistrate, the Governor’s Office would surely summon a doctor to examine her, and any discerning doctor could see at a glance she was more than three months pregnant from her slightly bulging belly. With the old woman’s fierce look not appearing to be a joke, Lei Qianqian, frightened and scared, finally had no choice but to admit and desperately plead. "Grandma, don’t drag me to see the magistrate; I’ll speak, I’ll speak..." "Confess to me!" old Huang Family said fiercely. As for how she would be dealt with, that would depend on her explanation. Lei Qianqian pleaded with a crying voice, "Grandma, I... I was forced too!" Lei Qianqian’s account was that she had lost her father and, with her somewhat good looks, hadn’t married despite her age, caught the attention of the local ruffians, and was violated by them. Upon realizing her loss of virtue, she initially wanted to end her life, but her mother’s desperate pleading, along with her young brother, made her unable to go through with it with a peaceful mind, which is why she survived. She had thought she could just cover up the incident, and her mother was also seeking a matchmaker to find her a husband, not hoping to marry into a high-ranked household in town, but simply an affluent family where she wouldn’t have to worry about food and clothing. That’s how she ended up with the Gu Family. But the nightmare didn’t end. While they were setting up talks with the matchmaker and the Gu Family, she discovered she was pregnant, and she herself didn’t know who the father of the child was.
