Mrs. Yu became very nervous: "Nannan, what are you trying to say? There's no need to be so defensive in our own home."

Zisu said helplessly, "Mother, why is it unnecessary? Nowadays, my uncle's family would love for you to die!"

Madam Yu glared at her daughter: "Look at what you're saying, why do you think so badly of your uncle? Your uncle's family has indeed gone a bit too far these days, but it's not to the point of harming anyone! After all, we're all family!"

Zisu was furious at her words and felt like banging her head against the wall: "Mom, how many months has it been since you changed your clothes (on your period)?"

Upon hearing this, Ms. Yu suddenly realized, "Oh dear, it seems like I haven't had my period for the past two or three months!" At this point, she couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise.

Could it be that she's pregnant?

Zisu nodded vigorously: "Mother, you should be pregnant! Moreover, your uncle's family knows very well because your personal maid, Furong, was bribed by your aunt and grandmother several years ago! She told your aunt everything! Your aunt also knows that you are pregnant!"

Madam Yu stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "No way? Furong, she's always been so loyal! Besides, I'm pregnant, what's there to hide?"

"Mother, how could you be so foolish!" Zisu was both angry and anxious, and almost jumped up and down: "You need to know that if the child in your belly is a younger brother, then even if your eldest uncle inherits the title, he will have to return the title to your younger brother after he turns fifteen! Tell me, given the character of your eldest uncle's family, do you really think they would let you give birth to your younger brother so easily?"

"Ah?!" Madam Yu was taken aback.

Zisu: "Mother, the best we can do now is to eliminate the hidden dangers by cutting off the source of the problem. Otherwise, what awaits you and my brother is nothing but death!"

Yu asked weakly, "How can we eliminate the threat from the root?"

Zisu: "I have a solution to this problem! Mother, just focus on your pregnancy and pay close attention to your diet. You can only trust Cherry and Begonia among your people. By the way, Cherry is the third-class maid who does the rough work. Please remember my words, Mother. Stay in the small kitchen and cook for the next few days. Don't leave the garden easily!"

Mrs. Yu nodded: "Okay, Nannan, you must be careful too!"

Zisu added, "Mother, remember, the only people I can trust are Xiangli and Dingxiang. If anyone else calls for me, don't believe them!"

Zisu escorted her mother back to her bedroom, gave Yingtao and Haitang a few instructions, and then personally packed all of Yu's jewelry into a cloth bag: "Mother, I'm taking these things to the pawnshop and exchanging them all for silver notes, so they won't be stolen!"

Ms. Yu: "Okay, I'll do as you say!"

The bag of jewelry was quite heavy, not something a ten-year-old girl could easily lift. Zisu called to an old woman surnamed Jiang, "Help me carry this bag to where I live!"

This old woman is a centrist. Although she is not exactly loyal to my mother, she is not on anyone's side either, so she can be trusted to a certain extent.

"Yes, Miss!" The old woman obediently picked up the bag and followed Zisu to her courtyard.
