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

A moment later, the doctor entered the hall carrying his medicine chest, and the First Madam immediately pulled him to Jiang Yuyue's side.

"Doctor, please take a look at my wife. Is she alright?"

"Please wait a moment, Madam."

The doctor slowly and deliberately took Jiang Yuyue's pulse, closed his eyes, and carefully examined her. Then, with a look of delight, he bowed to the crowd.

"Congratulations! The young mistress is pregnant!"

Upon confirming the pregnancy, the First Madam hurriedly asked,

"Then what do you think this month should be...?"

The doctor stroked his beard and replied, "The pulse is still weak. I estimate she's only about a month and a half pregnant, maybe two months along."

Hearing this, the doctor breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Jiang Yuyue was indeed a virtuous woman, and the child in her belly was indeed Yun Qi's child!

Xie Jinglan, who was standing to the side, looked at Jiang Yuyue’s calm expression and happened to meet her sly look.

His gaze paused slightly, and he subtly turned his face away.

Madam Xie's eyes softened with a rare tenderness, as if she hadn't been the one who had just been pointing her finger at Jiang Yuyue and berating her. She smiled and said...

"Now that you are pregnant, you should take good care of yourself. Don't be stingy with your food, clothing and other necessities. You have always been in charge of the Xie family's affairs. Since you are still in your early stages, you should handle the account books and other matters. If you become too heavy to manage them later, you can hand them over to your mother."

Jiang Yuyue sneered inwardly. This wasn't giving her the power to manage the household; it was clearly dumping all the mess from the past month into her hands!

Just as Jiang Yuyue was about to politely decline, a scream came from the main gate of the Xie residence. Everyone looked over and saw Xie Jinbo, the second son of the Xie family, limping and crawling into the hall.

"Grandma, help me!"

At this moment, Xie Jinbo realized that Jiang Yuyue, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, had actually returned. A fierce hatred immediately rose in his eyes, and he stood up as if he was about to attack Jiang Yuyue.

"Xie Jinbo! What do you want to do!?"

Madam Xie immediately stopped him. Jiang Yuyue was carrying her own son's bloodline; how could she let this good-for-nothing act recklessly?

"Auntie!"

Xie Jinbo said bitterly, "Have you forgotten that it was this bitch who caused me to be hunted down! If it weren't for her colluding with the Jiang family to withhold our money, how could I have ended up in this situation!"

"presumptuous!"

Madam Xie coldly rebuked, "She's your sister-in-law! She's carrying your eldest brother's only child, so watch your words!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Jinbo was stunned. Jiang Yuyue was pregnant with his older brother's child?!

Jiang Yuyue sat to the side, watching the farce with amusement. It seemed she was also experiencing the feeling of gaining status through her son.

She didn't even need to take action herself; people were already protecting her in every way, even though it was all for the sake of the child in her womb. As long as the effect was the same, that was fine.

"But Aunt, the debt collectors are here again!"

Seeing that his venting of anger had failed, Xie Jinbo immediately switched to a pitiful look and began to plead desperately.

"I went out for some fresh air today, and somehow I ended up at the casino again. I couldn't resist playing a couple of rounds, and now those people have come to our door again. They're blocking our front door now, and they're saying that if we don't pay up... they'll report us to the authorities!"

Upon hearing the words "report to the authorities," everyone's expressions instantly tensed up. They all knew that if this matter escalated, the entire Xie family would be dragged down with it!

Madam Xie had long disliked this spendthrift son of the second branch of the family, and seeing his dissolute appearance only fueled her frustration.

"I told you to stay home and not go out these days, what were you doing at that damn casino?! Now you've brought these people here... If this affects my career, I'll fight you to the death!"

Xie Jinbo was startled by these words, but the disaster had already been done and someone had to clean up the mess. He could only pray to Old Madam Xie.

"Grandmother... I will never dare to do it again. Please help me one last time!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Madam Xie could not care about anything else. She sighed deeply, looked around, and realized that among everyone present, only Jiang Yuyue could take out this much money right now.

And it must be Jiang Yuyue who repays!

Thinking of Jiang Huanxi's tough attitude a few days ago, Old Madam Xie was filled with anger.

However, now that Jiang Yuyue is carrying the Xie family's child, she is a member of the Xie family, and the money she is owed must not be reduced by a single penny!

"Moon, why don't you help Erlang?"

Although Madam Xie was asking Jiang Yuyue for a favor, her tone was stiff and she didn't show any sign of asking for help.

"Erlang is getting deeper and deeper into gambling with the money you gave him. He asked your brother for help before, and he was really rude. He even dared to offend me. Now that you're back, you should take care of things. That way, I, who's halfway to the grave, can have some peace and quiet."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuyue immediately stood up and hurriedly apologized to Old Madam Xie.

"I am far away in the capital and I had no idea that my foolish brother would be so rude. I apologize to Grandmother on his behalf. As for the money that Erlang owes... I will pay it off for him first."

The Xie family members were quite surprised to hear this, since even in their opinion Xie Jinbo was in the wrong, yet Jiang Yuyue agreed so easily.

Xiao Liu frowned and quickly whispered, "Miss! We don't owe them anything..."

Jiang Yuyue stopped her with a look, and then looked at the servant beside her.

"Let's call everyone in from outside in, and do a good job of settling the accounts to see how much we owe."

Xie Jinglan sat to the side without saying a word, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and watched the drama unfold in the Xie family with indifference.

Soon, a burly man with a thick waist and a fierce face was invited in.

Xie Jinbo met the man's gaze, and in fear, he shrank back. The man, however, gave a cold snort and bowed slightly to the elderly Madam Xie, who was seated in the main seat.

"Greetings, Madam Xie. I am Wang Er, a shop assistant at Wansheng Casino. Today, I have been ordered by our manager to collect the debt owed to Xie Jinbo, the second son of the Xie family, at our casino!"

"This debt has been outstanding for almost a month, and our people have come many times. But we never expected that the Xie family, which is so powerful and wealthy, would refuse to pay even a small gambling debt. As the saying goes, it is only right to pay back debts. If you still refuse to pay, we will either report you to the authorities or take your second son's life to pay for it!"

Wang Er was a rough man who didn't mince words. His blunt remarks made everyone in the Xie family turn pale.

At that moment, Jiang Yuyue stood up.

"How much money does he owe? I'll pay it for him."

Upon hearing the voice, Wang Er glanced at Jiang Yuyue. Seeing that Jiang Yuyue was still young, he assumed that the Xie family was deliberately being perfunctory and was even more disdainful.
