The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

The smile that had just appeared on Jiang Li's face froze instantly and turned into a hint of bitterness.

"Dying to prove your integrity? Humph, this character is somewhat similar to Yufeng's."

Jiang Li's words, like a sharp needle, pierced directly into the heart of Jiang Yufeng who had just stepped into the threshold, making him tremble involuntarily.

"Xiao Li, things are not what you think. Nothing really happened between Ning Shuang and me. You must believe me."

Jiang Yufeng took a step forward and tried to hug Jiang Li, his eyes full of sincerity and eagerness.

However, Jiang Li was like a dragon whose reverse scales were touched. She broke free suddenly, with a resolute voice: "Don't touch me, go away."

Although she tried her best, she seemed so powerless in front of Jiang Yufeng's strong body.

At this moment, Jiang Yufeng took a deep breath and said firmly: "Xiao Li, Ning Shuang is indeed pregnant with someone else's child."

As soon as these words came out, the air in the room seemed to freeze. Jiang Li, Jiang Yufeng, and Xie Tianyi beside him all turned their eyes to Chen Xi.

Chen Xi gently stroked the wings of his nose, recalling the scene at that time: "When I went to investigate, I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. When I quietly entered that hidden place, Ning Shuang and the man were completely unaware of my existence, so their conversation was not concealed at all, and the subject of the child in her belly was mentioned."

Hearing this, the huge rock in Jiang Li's heart finally fell to the ground. She threw herself into Jiang Yufeng's arms, and her tears fell silently like pearls from a broken string.

Chen Xi tactfully pulled Xie Tianyi up and quietly retreated to the door, leaving the couple some space to be alone so that they could be honest with each other and repair the emotional rift between them.

In the courtyard, the sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, casting spots of light and adding a bit of warmth to the slightly heavy atmosphere.

"Is what you just said true?"

Xie Tianyi asked in a low voice, with a hint of concern in his eyes.

Chen Xi smiled slightly and answered decisively: "Of course it's true. Why would I lie to them about this?"

Hearing this, Xie Tianyi nodded slightly, and became more convinced of Chen Xi's character.

"Thanks to you for your help this time. If you need my help in the future, just let me know."

Xie Tianyi's words were full of sincerity, which made Chen Xi feel warm in his heart.

Just at this moment, the laughter of Xiaole, Xiaoyang and Xiaochen broke the tranquility of the courtyard.

As soon as Xiaole heard that his father had returned, he ran over immediately, his little face full of worry: "Did Daddy go to see that woman again? I don't want Daddy to marry a concubine, aunt, let's go together to stop Daddy."

Chen Xi was stunned at first when he heard this, and then his eyes fell gently on Xiaoyang and Xiaochen. The two little guys seemed to realize something and lowered their heads embarrassedly.

Obviously, Xiaole's blunt remarks had revealed the secret.

"Xiao Le, stop messing around. Your father only has your mother in his heart. They just had some misunderstandings and they have reconciled now."

Chen Xi comforted her softly, and Xiaole's emotions gradually calmed down.

"Aunt, are you telling the truth? Are my parents really reconciled?"

Xiaole asked half-doubtfully.

Chen Xi looked at him with a smile and said softly, "Of course it's true. If you go in now, won't you interrupt your father's good time coaxing your mother?"

Xiaole tilted his head and thought about it, and felt that what Aunt Su said made sense.

"Since mother has forgiven father, I will reluctantly forgive him. However, if father wants to marry a concubine or have children with another woman, I will not like him anymore."

Xiaole said this seriously, his little face full of childish persistence and desire for a complete family.

As expected, Xiao Yang and Xiao Chen keenly caught the warning looks from Chen Xi and Xie Tianyi. The deep meaning in those looks seemed to be silently reminding them of something.

This kind of scene was not the first time Xiaoyang and Xiaochen had encountered it. They knew clearly in their hearts that those words must have come from Chen Xi and Xie Tianyi, and were passed on to Jiang Yufeng through Jiang Xiaole.

Soon, accompanied by a slight creaking sound, the door quietly opened, and Jiang Yufeng and Jiang Li walked out side by side. Their figures stretched out in the sunlight, looking particularly harmonious.

Jiang Yufeng spoke first, his tone full of sincerity: "I am really sorry to have troubled Brother Tianyi and Sister-in-law during this period. Xiaoli and I will definitely hold a banquet someday to thank you two for your care."

Jiang Yufeng's words revealed a clear intention, which was to take Jiang Li and Jiang Xiaole back to his home. However, his footsteps were gently stopped by Chen Xi, which made Jiang Yufeng a little confused.

"Sister-in-law, what does this mean?"

He asked, thinking to himself, since even his wife had let it go, why did Chen Xi still want to stop him? Did he want Xiaoli to stay a little longer?

Chen Xi's eyes were deep. She looked directly at Jiang Yufeng and said slowly, "Have you ever thought about how to deal with Ning Shuang's pregnancy once you return home?"

Jiang Yufeng answered without hesitation: "If the child is not mine, I will naturally let her go back to where she came from."

Chen Xi asked: "What if the child unfortunately dies?"

Jiang Yufeng actually showed a look of relief on his face: "That's even better, she can leave earlier."

Chen Xi couldn't help but hold his forehead when he heard this, and secretly wondered in his heart whether Jiang Yufeng really didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, or was deliberately pretending to be confused.

Xie Tianyi at the side finally couldn't help but speak, his voice was steady and powerful: "Chen Xi means, if Ning Shuang has a miscarriage because of Xiao Li, and runs to the old lady to cry, how are you going to deal with it?"

Before Jiang Yufeng could react, Jiang Li had already explained eagerly: "No, no, no, I know that is not my husband's child, I will never hurt it."

As she spoke, she waved her hands vigorously, her eyes full of sincerity, trying to prove her innocence.

Chen Xi looked at Jiang Li with a complicated expression: "Xiao Li, you said yourself that the child is not Jiang Yufeng's. Do you think Ning Shuang will let the child be born safely? Especially after her relationship with her lover was exposed."

When these words were spoken, Jiang Yufeng and Jiang Li were stunned. It was obvious that they had never considered the complexity of this issue in depth before.

"What can we do!"

Jiang Yufeng muttered to himself, looking a little helpless.

Jiang Yufeng couldn't let Xiaoli stay away for a long time, and the old lady of the Jiang family couldn't tolerate a woman who might be pregnant with Jiang family blood living outside.

Chen Xi pondered for a moment and made a suggestion: "In my opinion, the solution is to find a breakthrough in communicating with Ning Shuang, and it would be best if she could voluntarily tell the truth."

Hearing this, the three of them turned their eyes to Chen Xi, as if they saw a glimmer of hope for solving the problem in her words.

Chen Xi beckoned them to come closer and whispered his carefully planned plan.

But in fact, the key to this matter lies in the attitudes of Jiang Yufeng and Ningshuang themselves. The space for Chen Xi and Xie Tianyi to intervene is very limited.
