Why were its eyes tightly shut?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Comparing the two children side by side, they didn’t look like twins at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made her somewhat anxious. Could it really be that Gu Youyou gave birth to this child?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how could it be such a coincidence? Two people giving birth at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, before coming in, her informers had already told her that yesterday Gu Youyou had hurried into this courtyard with Xiang Chun and Searcy and hadn’t come out since.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they couldn’t enter this courtyard, they could hear sporadic screams of a woman from inside, sounding like childbirth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the lights in this courtyard hadn’t been turned off all night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Empress had someone call in a maid of Gu Youyou and asked, \"Was the noise you heard last night from the Crown Prince’s wife?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That maid glanced at Gu Youyou, then quickly lowered her head, saying, \"No... it wasn’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since that was the case, she felt reassured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it’s twins where one resembles the father and the other the mother.

The tree’s branches were widespread and numerous, well-spaced and at a good height, which she used to climb over the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Empress was alarmed and shouted, \"Catch her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards outside rushed into the courtyard, and following the direction the Empress pointed, they quickly pursued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Empress’s face turned ashen, under her watchful eye the only person who could escape was Searcy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Li whispered in her ear, \"That woman is the poison doctor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Empress’s chest heaved violently, looking at the two maidens lying on the ground, her eyes devoid of any emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These maidens were her close attendants, and now their life and death were uncertain, yet she didn’t care about their welfare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Youyou’s heart raced, Searcy had escaped, and she wondered if she could make it out.\u003C\u002Fp>",633,"2026-06-06T06:55:07.463Z",1,"novelbin.me","94f4aef1cade252d5dcfe669ab28143d5b3dd8cf575dabdca2b147ada8966299","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-1148","the-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-chapter-1146",1812,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-challenge-of-a-farmhouse-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
