Transmigrated as the Pregnant Villainess: Mr Lu. This Heir is Yours.

Old Master Lu answered without hesitation, and the nurse rushed back inside as the corridor fell silent once more, save for the distant sound of medical alarms echoing faintly from somewhere deeper in the emergency wing.

Time began to stretch strangely after that, every minute feeling longer and more suffocating than the last until, nearly an hour later, a sharp cry echoed faintly from inside the operating area—the sound of a newborn baby, which instantly froze everyone in the corridor.

Several nurses moved quickly through the doors moments later, and one doctor finally removed his surgical mask before stepping outside to announce that the child had survived.

The tension that had gripped the corridor loosened slightly for the first time since their arrival, and Old Master Lu stepped forward immediately to ask about the mother.

The doctor replied that she was stable for now, then added that the baby, though delivered prematurely, was breathing independently and would be transferred to neonatal care for monitoring.

When he confirmed that the child was a boy, the words settled heavily through the corridor, because everyone present understood exactly what that meant inside the Lu family: another male heir, and therefore another shift in the inheritance balance.

One of the older Lu relatives immediately looked relieved, while the remaining two pregnant women lowered their eyes silently, their expressions betraying a mixture of fear, pressure, and unease.

Everything surrounding them had only intensified now. Meanwhile, Lu Shaohan remained standing quietly near the emergency room doors, his phone still resting in his hand, and Su Wan was still unreachable.

-------

Mo Chen’s phone suddenly vibrated across the table.

He frowned faintly before picking it up.

"Yes?"

A familiar male voice quickly answered from the other side.

"It’s Lin Fen. I wanted to notify you that Chen Ru suddenly went into labor through emergency C-section. It’s a boy. The Lu family is at the hospital right now."

Mo Chen leaned back slightly in his chair while listening.

"They’ve been trying to reach you three repeatedly too."

"We’re occupied at the moment," Mo Chen replied calmly. "We’ll head over later."

With that, he ended the call and casually tossed the phone back onto the table.

"An insider person I bribed," he explained lightly. "He updates me whenever something major happens inside the Lu Residence."

Li Chen glanced up briefly.

"So the child survived."

"Seems so."

Su Wan rested one hand against the chair arm quietly.

"Chen Ru delivered prematurely?"

"Yeah. Probably seven months."

Mo Chen hadn’t bothered asking for more details.

At the moment, they had more pressing matters than hospital drama.

Su Wan simply nodded once.

"Alright."

And that was the end of it.

—

Meanwhile, at the hospital, the situation had gradually stabilized after several chaotic hours.

Doctors had completed the initial examinations while the Lu family remained gathered across the private medical floor reserved entirely for them.

The results finally showed that Chen Ru had not been poisoned.

What triggered the premature labor was an abdominal reaction medication that had been ingested earlier. Taken improperly during late pregnancy, it caused severe contractions that escalated dangerously fast.

Fortunately—

both mother and child survived.

The baby boy had been transferred immediately into neonatal intensive care due to the premature delivery. Though small and fragile, his condition remained stable enough that the doctors finally relaxed slightly.

The DNA test was also conducted almost immediately afterward.

No mistakes.

No doubts.

The child belonged biologically to the Lu family.

Inside the neonatal room, soft machine sounds echoed quietly beneath the dim lights while the newborn rested inside the incubator peacefully.

Old Master Lu stood beside the glass with visibly softened eyes.

"A boy..."

The satisfaction in his voice was impossible to hide.

Because regardless of the chaos surrounding the Lu family lately—

another male heir still carried enormous meaning.

Nearby, Lu Shaohan remained silent while looking at the infant through the glass.

The child looked tiny beneath the blankets and wires, but even now certain features faintly resembled him already.

One of the doctors lowered his voice respectfully nearby.

"He’ll need observation inside neonatal care for at least two months, but his condition is stable."

Old Master Lu nodded calmly.

"Use the best doctors available."

"Yes, Old Master."

The doctors immediately lowered their heads respectfully.

The atmosphere around the hospital floor gradually became calmer afterward.

At least for now—

the Lu family heir had survived.

"Who gave her that drug?" Old Master Lu’s expression darkened visibly as he stood beside the incubator, the soft neonatal lights reflecting faintly across the glass while the tiny infant slept quietly beneath the monitoring machines, completely unaware of the storm his birth had already created around him.

"The doctors assigned to the residence are our own people," the old man continued coldly, his eyes narrowing slightly as he added, "People we personally vetted. Why would they give her something dangerous during pregnancy?"

Even if it wasn’t poison, the result could still have killed both mother and child, and that alone made the situation unacceptable.

Nearby, several doctors immediately lowered their heads further, unwilling to speak carelessly, because inside powerful families, medical accidents rarely stayed classified as simple accidents for long.

Lu Shaohan remained standing silently beside the incubator while his gaze stayed fixed on the newborn boy, and when he finally answered, "I don’t know," his tone was calm but his attention clearly remained elsewhere—not fully on the investigation, not even fully on the conversation, but on the child resting beneath the warm neonatal lights.

That was interesting, because despite everything happening around him—succession instability, shareholder disappearances, household tension, possible internal attacks, and Su Wan’s sudden disappearance—this child still existed now, a confirmed Lu heir.

Old Master Lu slowly looked toward him afterward. "You don’t seem surprised." Lu Shaohan’s expression barely shifted as he replied, "I expected someone to eventually make a move," and the answer cooled the atmosphere slightly.

One of the senior doctors finally spoke carefully from nearby, explaining that the medication wasn’t lethal by itself but, under late-stage pregnancy conditions, it had triggered violent abdominal contractions; he hesitated briefly before adding that it was possible Madam Chen Ru had taken it unknowingly.

"Impossible," Old Master Lu replied immediately, his voice carrying absolute certainty now, because the women inside the residence were monitored constantly.

Silence followed, because everyone present understood what that implied: if Chen Ru truly consumed the medication unknowingly, then someone around her had administered it intentionally, which was a very interesting development.

One of the Lu family assistants approached cautiously afterward holding several sealed documents, and when he reported that the kitchen staff were already being questioned and the residence medical wing was also under internal review, Lu Shaohan finally shifted his gaze away from the incubator and answered, "Good," with a calmness that felt almost unsettling.

Then finally, Lu Shaohan lowered his eyes briefly toward the sleeping infant again before speaking without emotion: "Find out who touched her medication schedule within the last seventy-two hours." The assistant immediately straightened with a firm, "Yes, Young Master," while Old Master Lu’s expression remained dark beside him, because whether intentional or accidental, someone inside the Lu Residence had crossed a dangerous line now, and once heirs became involved, the family would no longer treat the matter lightly.

The neonatal room had fallen into a heavy hush after the assistant departed. Beneath the soft, steady hum of monitors, the newborn slept peacefully inside the incubator, his tiny chest rising and falling under the warm glow of medical lights.

Old Master Lu stood motionless beside the glass panel, his face still clouded by the earlier conversation about the suspicious medication. A few steps away, Lu Shaohan remained equally still, one hand tucked into his pocket as his mind turned over the growing instability threatening the Lu family.

The quiet shattered when hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor. A Lu family security officer appeared at the doorway, slightly out of breath, clearly having rushed straight from an urgent discovery.

"Young Master," the officer said, his voice low and tense.

Lu Shaohan turned toward him slowly. "What is it?"

The officer hesitated for a fraction of a second before delivering the news. "We found the medication tablets."

A thick silence instantly filled the room. Old Master Lu’s expression darkened like a gathering storm.

"Where?" he demanded.

"In the western guest room, sir. Hidden inside the lower compartment of the bedside cabinet."

The implication hit immediately. That was the room Lu Shaohan and Su Wan had shared the previous night.

The officer continued with careful precision, handing over sealed evidence photographs and the preliminary lab reports. "The tablets match the exact abdominal reaction medication detected in Madam Chen Ru’s bloodwork."

The atmosphere grew suffocating. One of the nurses took an instinctive step back, her eyes fixed on the floor, as if she could distance herself from the dangerous territory the conversation had entered.

Old Master Lu’s voice dropped to a menacing tone. "She left the residence right after breakfast... and now this turns up in her room."
