"Jiaojiao, sit down quickly. Don't stand all the time. You didn't even tell your aunt about such a big thing." Mother Wu quickly helped her to the bed and covered her with a quilt.

She suddenly thought, "You already have this, why are you still messing around with Mou'er..."

Everyone present understood what Mother Wu hadn't said. Especially Wu Youmou, who clenched his fists nervously. This was his first child, and he couldn't afford any mishaps. "Jiaojiao, will what we did just now... affect the child?"

Jiaojiao lowered her head slightly, acting like a shy little girl, "The doctor said the child is healthy."

"When did you see the doctor? What did the doctor say? Can you tell your aunt?" Mother Wu was concerned about the baby in her womb and wanted to know every detail.

Jiaojiao shrank back and turned her head away. "A few days ago, I felt unwell, so I went to the clinic. The doctor took my pulse and said I was three months pregnant."

"This child shouldn't have been born. He shouldn't have become a stumbling block in the relationship between Cousin Mou and Sister Shen. But I can't bear to let him go. And the doctor said he's healthy and strong, which makes me even more reluctant to let him go."

Upon learning that Jiaojiao had thought about aborting the child, Wu's mother's first reaction was no, she would never allow her grandchild to be born without one. Hiding the disdain in her eyes, she softly said, "Kangjian is fine. The child will definitely be smart. I'm afraid he'll be a great grandson!"

"By then, he will be Mou'er's eldest son. The future of our family will depend on him." Mother Wu's words sounded nice, but any girl with a shallow mind would be fooled by her.

After all, these days, which prominent family would marry a pregnant woman out of wedlock and make her their legal wife?

Wu's mother repeatedly told them to be careful and not to act recklessly again before leaving the house, looking back every few steps.

Jiaojiao leaned in Wu Youmou's arms, listening to the violent beating of his chest, with a triumphant expression on her face.

Wu Youmou didn't notice. At that moment, his heart and eyes were filled with Jiaojiao's unborn child. He was already eighteen, and among his friends, the first to marry already had two children, while he was the only one who hadn't married and had no children.

Now Jiaojiao actually gave him such a big surprise that he had no time to think about anything else and was immersed in the joy of being a father.

The next day, Mingyue woke up just in time for breakfast. She sat in the hall, enjoying the various delicacies that the servants had bought in advance.

"Brother, when are we going to set off?" Mingyue ate two buns, filling her stomach with a thin layer, before she had the mind to think about anything else.

Mingyang poured her half a bowl of white fungus and bird's nest soup, "Hmm? This is the first time our little housekeeper has asked you this question, right? Why, do you want to stay here for a few more days?"

Mingyue shook her head and lowered her voice, "No, no, I'm just curious, do we still need to go up with those guys?"

"This morning, Wu's mother sent someone to bring a message saying that Miss Jiaojiao needed to take care of her pregnancy and would not be traveling with us. As for the mother and daughter of the Shen family, I don't know." Mingyang glanced at Wu Youmou, who was taking good care of the pregnant woman Jiaojiao while she was having her meal not far away.

Mingyue also followed his gaze and looked over quietly.

"Brother, do you think there is anything strange about what happened last night?" Minghao held a sword and frowned.

"Wow! Second brother, you discovered it too?" Mingyue looked at Minghao with some surprise, sat next to him and whispered, could it be that second brother also likes gossip?

Minghao came over excitedly, "Little sister, tell me, if there really is a thief, where did he hide? If not, who is deceiving us?"

…Mingyue sat back in his original seat speechlessly. It turned out that he was such a straight man that he only cared about thieves.

However, when I think about it carefully, it is indeed true. In this drama of catching an adulterer, the "thief" just disappeared like that?

"Is it possible that this so-called thief doesn't exist at all?" Mingyang pointed at the teapot.

Minghao and Mingyue immediately understood and came forward like servile dogs. One of them massaged the eldest brother's shoulders, while the other poured him tea.

Mingyang accepted the hot tea poured by Mingyue with satisfaction, blew on it, and took a sip. "The tea my sister brews is only found in heaven. It's so rare to see it in the world."

"Brother, stop joking and get to the point." Minghao couldn't wait to know the truth.

"I'm just making a simple guess. Let's assume that the person in charge of this matter is my cousin Jiaojiao. She desperately wants to make the relationship between her and her cousin public and wants a name, so she finds someone to act out this scene with her." Mingyang and the others were sitting by the window, and there were not many people around.

"Brother! You really are a great detective. This must be the case." After listening to his elder brother Mingyang's analysis, Minghao thought more and more that it made sense.

Mingyue frowned and said, "But she doesn't have any accomplices. Even if she wants to find someone randomly, she needs to find them herself. No one is familiar with this place. What's more, this delicate cousin looks like she has nothing. She can't wait to stick to her cousin all the time. How can she have time to find someone?"

Zhao Mingyang nodded, "My little sister's analysis is good, so there is another possibility."

Mingyue and Minghao listened attentively.

This time, Ming Yang didn't analyze it in detail, but simply gave a name, "Shen Ru, Miss Shen."

"How can a weak Miss Shen be a thief?" Minghao felt that Mingyang must have made a mistake this time. That sister had just been broken off from her engagement, how pitiful she was.

"Brother, what you said makes sense." Mingyue immediately refuted his point.

Minghao covered his face, feeling as if an invisible slap was slapping him in the face. "Then I also think what Big Brother said is right, right?"

"Mingyue, can you continue?" Mingyang looked at his sister with interest.

"Okay," Mingyue approached them mysteriously, their three little heads pressed together, "Sister Shen discovered the adultery between the two of them long ago, but due to considerations and social distancing, she couldn't speak directly and cancel the engagement."

"So, she was constantly observing their intimate behavior. Last night was probably the moment she chose to strike."

This was indeed the case. Several months ago, Shen Ru had discovered the unusual relationship between Wu Youmou and his cousin. And Jiaojiao would deliberately reveal Wu Youmou's preference to her from time to time.

Shen Ru wanted to cancel the engagement, but couldn't find a way, so she could only wait for an opportunity.

Last night, Shen Ru noticed the fire in their eyes and knew that they would definitely get together later.

Sure enough, Shen Ru, under the pretext of making medicine for her mother, stayed in the small kitchen. It happened that this position gave her a clear view of Jiaojiao's room. As soon as they made any movement, Shen Ru would know.

After Wu Youmou quietly slipped into Jiaojiao's room, not long after, a burst of moans gradually came out. She also took the opportunity to pinch her throat and shout, "Catch the thief, catch the thief!"
