Pei Youyou hurriedly hung up the phone, saying, "I'm pregnant. If I'm not pregnant, what happened today? Can't a doctor tell the difference between menstruation and miscarriage?"

The family doctor felt it necessary to speak up: "It was indeed a miscarriage."

“Look!” Pei Youyou immediately became self-righteous.

Luo Huai, however, sensed something in the conversation and asked the doctor, "How many months pregnant is she?"

Pei Youyou almost stopped breathing.

Lin Zhengyu frowned for a moment.

"Luo Huai, what do you mean? What do you mean by asking this question!" Pei Youyou raised her voice again, as if being louder justified.

Luo Huai asked the doctor again.

Everyone looked at the doctor, some seeking answers, others offering silent warnings.

The family doctor was sweating profusely again. She knew that being a family doctor in a wealthy family was not easy; they would give instructions to each person individually. She hoped they could at least speak to each person privately!

It is indeed rare in one's career to encounter a family doctor directly.

The family doctor dared not utter a word.

Finally, it was the head of the family, Mr. Xing, who spoke up, and the family doctor breathed a sigh of relief and told the truth: "The second young mistress is four to five weeks pregnant."

"Four to five weeks?" Mrs. Xing exclaimed incredulously. "She's almost three months pregnant!"

The family doctor reluctantly admitted, "It's only four or five weeks indeed."

"Pei Youyou, you actually faked your pregnancy to deceive us!" Xing's mother questioned angrily. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Pei Youyou's body go limp and fall straight into Lin Zhengyu's arms.

Lin Zhengyu, holding the person, explained, "Mom, Youyou just had a miscarriage."

He then carried the person upstairs.

Xing's mother felt a surge of anger stuck in her throat. Her daughter-in-law had just miscarried and fainted. If she questioned her at this moment, it would only make her seem mean and vicious.

She'd be miserable if she didn't get a clear answer.

Mother Xing gasped for breath, groaned twice, and seemed about to faint.

Luo Huai sighed softly.

"What's wrong?" Xing Yanzhao asked her, looking down at her.

Luo Huai said, "On the day the Pei family asked me to marry in their place, when I asked Pei Yuanzhou if he really wanted me to marry someone else, Pei Youyou also fainted, and the whole family rushed her to the hospital."

“Actually, this kind of thing happens a lot. Pei Youyou always gets into trouble at crucial moments.” She looked up at the building and said, “I don’t know if this time it’s true or not.”

Xing Yuru did not follow her upstairs, and remarked, "One second she was arguing her case, and the next she fainted. My second sister-in-law is quite something."

Anyone could tell it was sarcastic.

Xing's mother glanced at the three people standing opposite her, seemed to be deep in thought, then pulled her beige shawl tighter and went upstairs. She wanted to see if Pei Youyou was faking fainting.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw the person on the bed pull the blanket up.

How could someone who has fainted pull off the blanket by themselves?

Xing's mother's face immediately darkened.

"Mom." Lin Zhengyu stood up.

Xing's mother didn't look at her son. She went straight to the bedside, reached out to pull the blanket, and exposed half of Pei Youyou's body.

"If you don't open your eyes, I'll pour hot water on them."

"mom……"

"Shut up!" Xing's mother turned to look at her son, and for the first time couldn't help but scold him, "You're becoming more and more outrageous, Zhengyu. You used to be such a good boy, but now you've been helping your wife deceive us for so long, and you were even helping her put on an act just now."

"Miscarriage and fainting? She seems perfectly fine to me. She can pinch people, curse, and even call for help. When the truth can't be hidden anymore, she pretends to faint. Who taught her that?"

"Oh, from what Mr. Pei is saying, Mrs. Pei has always known, so it must have been Mrs. Pei who taught him. No wonder." Mrs. Xing has always looked down on Mrs. Pei.

When the young Mrs. Pei first accompanied her husband to the old house to pay New Year's visits, she wore all sorts of jewelry on herself. To put it nicely, it was dazzling; to put it bluntly, it was vulgar.

She has no sense of propriety and says everything that comes to mind. She seems like a sweet-talking person who knows how to flatter, but her sweetness goes too far and makes her seem pretentious. She doesn't know how to restrain herself and has a high opinion of herself.

If it weren't for her successful husband, and the growing strength of the Pei family, how many wives in the circle would be willing to pay her any attention?

Upon hearing Xing's mother's contemptuous tone, Pei Youyou could no longer help but open her eyes, sit up, and say, "Mom, what do you mean? What did my mother do to offend you?"

Xing's mother glanced at her casually, implying that everything was indeed alright.

Turn around and leave.

Before leaving, he gave Lin Zhengyu a look that signaled him to go.

Pei Youyou screamed like a madwoman, "Zhengyu, come back here! I've miscarried! I don't feel well!"

Lin Zhengyu had a terrible headache. His mother dragged him out the door with one hand, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, so he could say it wasn't his own wish.

Everyone downstairs is still there.

Mr. Xing looked up and asked, "How is it?"

Suddenly, Xing's mother said, "She didn't faint."

Mr. Xing's expression darkened further as he looked at Lin Zhengyu, "What exactly happened?"

"And falling into the pond." Xing Yanzhao followed up, "Lin Zhengyu, I don't believe you didn't see that Pei Youyou did it on purpose."

Lin Zhengyu remained silent.

This represents the default.

Mr. Xing stood up and snorted coldly, "Zhengyu, after Pei Youyou recovers, you should move out too. You have quite a few properties outside. Our family can't withstand her causing trouble like this."

"Old Xing!"

"If you can't bear to leave, I have no objection to you coming with me." Father Xing left.

Even if Xing's mother couldn't bear to part with her son, she couldn't possibly move out and live with him. If word got out, people would say that they were getting a divorce. They'd been through most of their lives together, and now they were getting a divorce in their old age.

She said to Lin Zhengyu, "I shouldn't have agreed to let you marry Pei Youyou in the first place."

"What? Are you going to dump that trouble on me?" Xing Yanzhao said with disgust, pulling Luo Huai into his arms. "I'm actually glad you didn't think of me back then. There are gains and losses, that's the truth!"

"let's go."

“We won’t come over when Pei Youyou comes over anymore. My wife can’t stand her framing us again and again,” Xing Yanzhao muttered. “I really want to call the police, but I don’t know if the police will do anything about slandering good people.”

A few words caused Xing's mother and Lin Zhengyu to lose face completely.

Luo Huai felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart. How could this person trust her from the very beginning? Didn't he have any doubts at all?

"Mom, Second Brother, I also have to go out for a bit." Xing Yuru followed closely behind, carrying her bag.

The house was too chaotic and noisy; she couldn't stand it anymore.

The house suddenly became quiet and deserted.

Lin Zhengyu looked in surprise in the direction Xing Yuru had left, never expecting that Xing Yuru had been won over by Xing Yanzhao and was even closer to them.

After Xing Yuru went out, she found that her older brother was walking ahead, quite fast, while her sister-in-law was lagging behind.

Why didn't you wait for me, brother?

“He’s going to get the car.” Luo Huai didn’t see anything wrong with Xing Yanzhao walking ahead.

Xing Yuru noticed something was off: "Something's not right. I feel like my older brother is a little angry."

"angry?"

"Isn't it because of what happened earlier that I'm angry? It seems to be because of you, sister-in-law."

"Me?" Luo Huai was even more confused.

Xing Yuru said, "You're saying that your older brother is someone else."

"When did I say that?"

"Just now at home you said you asked Pei Yuanzhou if he really wanted you to marry someone else. At that time, my brother seemed to be acting strangely."

Luo Huai's heart skipped a beat.

Really angry?

Because she mentioned Pei Yuanzhou? Because she said he was someone else?

Next, Luo Huai began to observe whether he was really sulking. He glanced at him several times when he got into the car and fastened his seatbelt. Zhao Ge clearly saw it, but didn't ask anything.

Not right.

Normally, the first thing she would do upon seeing him would be for Brother Zhao to look over and ask what was wrong, or simply say "Hmm?"

“Brother Zhao…”

Xing Yanzhao casually lifted his eyelids and looked over.

Luo Huai leaned closer and asked earnestly, "Are you angry?"

Xing Yanzhao swallowed hard as his beautiful wife, who had suddenly leaned closer to him.
