Gu Yu was filled with shock and disbelief.
"Madam, I... the child in my belly is Mr. Han's. By that logic, I am also part of the Han family. How can you treat me like this?"
"Hah, what do you think you are? How dare you call yourself a member of the Han family?"
"Gu Yu, you will stop at nothing to climb the ranks, even resorting to schemes. Let me make this clear: you will not enjoy the riches, but you will certainly suffer!"
Gu Yu trembled all over. "Madam, what do you mean by that?"
My mother-in-law sneered, "Don't you enjoy serving others? Then you can serve well from now on!"
Gu Yu screamed, "The child in my belly is Mr. Han's! I am now part of the Han family; I refuse to be a servant!"
With a glance from my mother-in-law, Uncle Cai immediately stepped forward and slapped Gu Yu twice across the face.
"Bold!"
"In the Han family, who do you think you are to make decisions?"
"Gu Yu, do as Madam says. If you dare to talk back again, I'll cut out your tongue!"
Gu Yu was struck so hard that her vision blurred, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. She covered her lips and looked at Uncle Cai in terror.
"No... please don't..."
"I'm still pregnant; I don't want this..."
My mother-in-law snorted coldly. "Uncle Cai, keep Aunt Zhang here to watch over Gu Yu closely. If she dares to harm Xuan Xuan or has any ill intentions, just teach her a lesson."
"Yes, Madam."
Gu Yu was completely dumbfounded.
"No... I'm a concubine of the Han family; I am..."
"Shut up!"
Uncle Cai shouted angrily, "In the Han family, it’s not your place to speak!"
Gu Yu wanted to say something, but my Mother-in-law had already walked up to her.
"Gu Yu, you need to understand that it was your own choice to stay in the Han family; no one forced you."
"You better behave, or I have plenty of ways to make your life miserable!"
Gu Yu shrank back in fear, "I... I understand..."
I, Mother-in-law, looked at her coldly. "It's good that you understand."
After saying this, I turned my attention to Uncle Cai.
"Bring me the newspaper."
Uncle Cai immediately handed over today's paper.
I glanced at it, and my expression darkened instantly.
"Gu Yu, you really have some nerve!"
"How dare you fabricate gossip and sell it to the press?"
Gu Yu trembled all over. "I... I didn't..."
"Still trying to argue!"
Uncle Cai stepped forward and slapped Gu Yu twice.
"Madam, I'm sorry! I won't do it again!"
I scoffed coldly. "Gu Yu, while you're in our Han family, you must follow our rules. If you dare to spread nonsense outside, I'll have your teeth pulled out!"
"Yes... yes..."
Gu Yu was utterly terrified.
She had thought that by getting pregnant with my husband's child, she could become a concubine in the Han family.
But unexpectedly, my husband didn't acknowledge her at all.
Even I, who had always been kind to her, was now ignoring her completely.
Now even Uncle Cai dared to lay hands on her!
Gu Yu was in a complete panic.
She knelt on the ground, repeatedly bowing her head.
"Madam, I was wrong, I won't dare again, I truly know my mistake..."
My Mother-in-law snorted coldly and threw the newspaper on the floor.
"Teach her a good lesson, let her remember this."
"Yes, Madam."
Uncle Cai immediately dragged Gu Yu out.
"Don't... don't..."
Gu Yu retreated in fear.
"I won't dare again, I really won't dare again..."
"Hmph."
My Mother-in-law snorted again and went upstairs to see me.
Gu Yu collapsed on the ground, quietly sobbing.
My Mother-in-law tiptoed into the room, sat by my bed, and softly called out to me.
"Xuan Xuan, are you awake?"
