Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 1825: Chapter 1827: Lady Guo Grows Suspicious

Guo Mansion

A few kitchen maids were preparing lunch in the kitchen, chatting idly.

"Have you noticed, Little Yueyue’s appearance seems to bear some resemblance to that head chef Jiang who came here recently."

"Don’t mention it, with a cold glance, she really does look a bit like him."

"This is truly strange; the little miss doesn’t resemble the young master but looks like a cook instead."

"..."

"..."

The head chef overheard everyone’s discussion and immediately came out to stop them, "You all better not spread rumors. If this gets out, it’ll be a huge problem. If madam hears about this, you can forget about working here."

Upon hearing this, everyone shivered and immediately turned their heads towards the door.

The outcome was seeing the silhouette of their madam.

Everyone was terrified.

"Just now, could madam have overheard us?"

"Probably not. If she heard, wouldn’t she have come over already? Would we still be standing here comfortably?"

"..."

"..."

The head chef also noticed the madam’s silhouette, feeling anxious inside. But since the madam hadn’t entered the kitchen to reprimand them, she assumed the madam hadn’t heard and said, "Alright, shut up quickly. We must not speak of this again."

...

...

The departing Guo madam looked pale. She never expected such a rumor to exist in her household. Remembering the head chef Jiang’s appearance, there truly seemed to be a resemblance with Little Yueyue.

To avoid causing a stir, she did not punish anyone in the kitchen, but decided to bide her time.

She went to her son’s residence.

Xiaotian was currently playing with the child. Seeing his mother-in-law arrive, he immediately stood up and said, "Mother."

Guo Madam nodded and entered the room.

"I’ve come to see Little Yueyue."

As she spoke, she walked to the bed, picked up Little Yueyue, and carefully examined her features. The more she looked, the more her eyebrows furrowed. To her, Little Yueyue didn’t resemble her son at all, nor did she resemble either of them in their older years.

Could it be that Little Yueyue isn’t her son’s child?

How could this be?

If it weren’t for hearing the kitchen maids’ discussion, she would never have doubted this matter!

She decided to test Xiaotian’s reaction, so she pretended to speak playfully to the child, "Our Little Yueyue is growing more each day, isn’t she? Changing day by day, if grandma didn’t come here daily, she’d hardly recognize you. It’s puzzling who you resemble, not your mom, not your dad."

Saying this, she glanced at Xiaotian with her peripheral vision, secretly observing his reaction.

Sure enough, upon hearing these words, Xiaotian’s body noticeably stiffened, showing extreme discomfort. Guo Madam, being exceptionally shrewd, instantly noticed Xiaotian’s unease. However, she didn’t confront him directly but instead covered it up by saying, "But looking at it coldly, you do resemble your great-grandmother."

Upon hearing this, Xiaotian visibly breathed a sigh of relief, but even this sigh did not escape Guo Madam’s attention.

She began to suspect Xiaotian.

When her son brought her home, shortly thereafter, she became pregnant. Whether this child is actually her son’s or brought from outside is truly difficult to say.

Considering her son, who was always upright and cherished Xiaotian greatly, it doesn’t seem plausible he would become intimate before marriage. Thinking about this, her mood was utterly terrible. If this matter is true, wouldn’t it mean her son is raising someone else’s child, and has been cuckolded?

How could the Guo Family, such a prestigious household, tolerate such a thing?
