After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

Listening to Xie Zhi's logical analysis, Madam Xie felt a chill run down her spine. Could it be that all of this was really Jiang Yuyue's doing?

"Besides, Jiang Yuyue is not a fool who gives indiscriminately good deeds."

Xie Zhi continued, "As soon as Xie Yunqi came back, he divorced her. It would be strange if an ordinary woman didn't turn against her husband's family in this situation. But she was good. She actually took her ex-husband's whole family into her home and served them good food and drink. Doesn't Mother think she has ulterior motives?"

"If I hadn't seen her eating with us, I would have really suspected that she had poisoned the food and was trying to kill our whole family!"

Speaking of eating, Xie Zhi recalled the details, "Although she denied being pregnant, she was getting fuller and fuller. Even though she made excuses that it was because she ate and drank too much after returning home, I noticed that she hardly touched any meat when she ate. How could she have gained weight in just a few days?"

"Besides, her weight gain isn't something that just happened in the last couple of days. When we lived in that run-down house, we ate simple meals every day, and even I lost weight, but her waistline didn't shrink at all. What else could this be but pregnancy?"

However, the only thing that Xie Zhi was somewhat unsure about was whose child Jiang Yuyue was carrying.

Based on the current situation, there are only two people involved: either her childhood sweetheart Pei Jingchuan, or... Xie Jinglan, the sickly third young master of the Xie family.

After a moment's thought, Xie Zhi concluded that Xie Jinglan was more likely. After all, while Pei Jingchuan and Jiang Yuyue did have a childhood friendship, Jiang Yuyue was very caring and attentive to Xie Jinglan, who was completely unrelated to her.

No matter how I look at it, I feel there's something fishy going on between these two.

After listening to Xie Zhi's long analysis, Madam Xie felt her scalp tingle. Although she had never thought about these things before, after carefully considering what Xie Zhi said, she felt that there was some truth to it.

But... but the Xie family and the Jiang family have no grudges against each other, so why would Jiang Yuyue scheme against them in such a roundabout way?!

"Then...what should we do?"

Madam Xie was truly flustered, fearing that some more trouble would befall them. "But we didn't provoke Jiang Yuyue!"

"What should we do? If we can't afford to mess with them, can't we at least avoid them?"

Xie Zhi glanced at her. "At that time, we were leaving the Jiang family. Although I'm not entirely sure what Jiang Yuyue was up to, our second branch didn't have much contact with her. Even if she harbored resentment, it was probably because the first branch had upset her."

“Let’s leave this place as soon as possible and let the eldest branch of the family stay here and continue to fight Jiang Yuyue to the death. Anyway, Xie Yunqi has now climbed up to the princess and become the prince consort. My aunt and mother have always been at odds, and my grandmother is biased towards them. I’m afraid the eldest branch of the family won’t help us much in the future. So, no matter who wins or loses in the end, it won’t do us any harm.”

Seeing that her taciturn daughter harbored such schemes, Madam Xie felt as if she were a stranger to her.

Although she was quite reluctant to part with everything the Jiang family had provided, Madam Xie glanced at her precious son, who was still unconscious, and dared not imagine what Jiang Yuyue would do to them next.

"In that case, let's go."

Madam Xie made the decision with some difficulty, "But let's wait until your father returns and discuss it with him first."

Xie Zhi neither confirmed nor denied this. Although she had decided to leave, she was not in a hurry.

She had just told that idiot Xie Yuan that Jiang Yuyue was pregnant, and she was prepared to wait and see how Jiang Yuyue would respond.

……

Meanwhile, Xie Yuan, upon learning of the possibility that Jiang Yuyue was pregnant, was eager to verify it. As soon as she left the mansion, she went to the clinic and, with a heavy heart, used the last bit of money she had to hire a doctor to take into the Jiang family.

Xiao Liu was on duty guarding the door of Jiang Yuyue's room when she saw Xie Yuan swaggering into the courtyard with her entourage. Her face immediately turned hostile.

"What? Does Miss Xie really want to be dragged away by this servant?"

Xiao Liu had a cold face and was unwilling to give her any kind look. "Miss is resting. Miss Xie had better not be presumptuous. Although my lady is polite to you, I am a rough person and am not as willing to reason with you as my lady is!"

At this moment, Xie Yuan believed that she had Jiang Yuyue's weakness in her grasp, and she didn't take Xiao Liu's harsh words to heart at all, showing a warm smile on her face.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Miss Liu? I already know I was wrong just now. That's why I specially went outside to invite a doctor over to check on Miss Jiang, seeing that she looked unwell."

When someone said that a doctor had been invited, Xiao Liu's expression immediately changed. Xie Yuan noticed this subtle change in her expression and was even more certain that she had something to hide.

"No need."

Xiao Liu curtly refused Xie Yuan's request, "Miss has just fallen asleep. Even if you want to find a doctor to examine my young lady, you have to wait until she wakes up."

"That won't do."

Xie Yuan was determined to confirm whether Jiang Yuyue was pregnant today, so she wouldn't give up easily. She immediately went up and banged on the door while shouting loudly.

"Miss Jiang? Miss Jiang!?"

Xiao Liu was surprised that she would act so recklessly and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, but unexpectedly the door was suddenly opened.

"Miss?"

Xiao Liu turned around and saw that it was Jiang Yuyue who came out. She quickly said, "Please go back and rest. I'll send her away right away..."

Jiang Yuyue waved her hand and looked at Xie Yuan, "I heard everything just now. Sister Yuan'er is worried about my health, so let her in."

Xiao Liu's heart tightened upon hearing this, but Jiang Yuyue made eye contact with her to reassure her, and Xiao Liu reluctantly stepped aside.

Seeing that Jiang Yuyue was cooperating so well, Xie Yuan was even more pleased with himself. He immediately called the doctor and went into Jiang Yuyue's room. He looked her up and down, and paid special attention to Jiang Yuyue's somewhat unnatural abdomen. His words were tinged with arrogance.

"Doctor, please take Miss Jiang's pulse carefully and see if there's anything unusual about her body!"

Xie Yuan crossed her arms, looking as if she had victory in her grasp.

If Jiang Yuyue refuses the doctor's pulse-taking, it must be because she feels guilty!

To her surprise, Jiang Yuyue actually cooperated by showing her arm. "Since you're so kind, please, doctor, take a good look at me."

Xie Yuan was a little suspicious of her calm demeanor. Could it be that she wasn't pregnant? Otherwise, how could she dare to do that?
