Bab 465: Chapter 475: You Killed Her

The villagers of Lotus Village had known the elders of the Huang Family for many years, understanding that the grandmother was unhappy about her daughter-in-law's pregnancy. Who were they trying to fool? Unless the child wasn't of the Gu Family's bloodline.

As it happened, this child really wasn't the Gu Family's bloodline.

All being natives of Lotus Village, they naturally knew that Lei Qianqian had not been married into the Gu Family for long before she began to vomit extravagantly. The two Huang ladies of the Gu Family had not been shy about praising her for having a promising belly.

One busybody even said that she had seen her secretly throwing up by the river on the fourth day after her marriage. When she approached and inquired, Lei Qianqian claimed she had a bad stomach.

The purpose of the County Magistrate's questioning – wasn't it to suggest that Gu Huangshi had known before her death that Lei Qianqian was carrying an illegitimate child?
