Su Yingxue could not fail to notice the oddity of her body, but when she tried to grab Wu Jinyanâs wrist to take her pulse, Wu Jinyan hid her hands behind her back, biting her lip in panic, âIâm fine! You donât need⦠donât need to worry about me.â
âHow could you be fine?â
Su Yingxue frowned. With such a big belly, could she possibly be blind?
When Su Yingxue pulled Wu Jinyanâs hand out and felt her pulse, her heart skipped a beat, âSister-in-law, youâ¦â
She was pregnant!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Moreover, this pregnancy was already almost five months along, but five months ago, Su Hao was at Bamboo Leaf Pass and had not come back at all!
The child in her wombâ¦
Wu Jinyanâs eyes were bloodshot, her expression as if her heart had died, which was very distressing.
Su Yingxue clenched her teeth, filled with hatred, âSister-in-law, who has wronged you? Tell me, and I will kill him!â
To have the audacity to wrong Wu Jinyan, to let her get pregnant!
Once she found that bastard, she would surely kill him!
âNo⦠you canât blame others, itâs me, I didnât protect myself well, itâs me⦠Iâm sorry, brother.â
Wu Jinyan covered her face and burst into tears, the pain and distress she had repressed for so long burst forth like a floodgate opened by Su Yingxueâs words. She cried out loudly, determined to let out all her heartache and grievances.
âSister-in-lawâ¦â
Su Yingxueâs heart twisted in pain as she held Wu Jinyan. When Wu Jinyan fainted from crying, Su Yingxue administered acupuncture to stabilize her mind. She then asked Su Han to send over some food for her to eat when she woke up.
In the room, Su Han explained the situation to Su Yingxue in detail, âBefore your grand wedding, when I came to purchase your dowry for you, Jinyan entrusted me to look after the Thousand-Jiao Pavilion temporarily. She said she would go out of Jiang Du City to visit relatives. I agreed and offered to send someone to protect her, but she refused, saying it wasnât far from Jiang Du City. I let her go without worry, not knowingâ¦â
Su Hanâs face flashed with regret, âIf I had insisted on sending protection with her, she wouldnât have suffered like this. Afterward, I got busy with your grand wedding, and you kept running into trouble, so I couldnât spare the effort to look for her. It wasnât until two months ago that she returned looking disheveled and without saying a word, she locked herself in her room. Later⦠I watched as her belly grew larger day by day.â
As a married woman herself, she could not fail to notice the state of Wu Jinyanâs belly, but when she asked once, Wu Jinyan said nothing and locked herself away even more securely, at one point even refusing to eat, starving herself to skin and bone.
âLater, somehow, Su Hao returned. I allowed him to see Jinyan, and it seemed they had a fierce argument. Su Hao rushed out in a hurry, and Jinyan fainted. I had no choice but to summon a doctor to treat her clandestinely. After all, there was a life inside her. I advised her to think it over carefully, and then she decided to keep the child,â Su Han finished recounting Wu Jinyanâs ordeal, her eyes showing a touch of desolation, âI guess the child was left by someone who wronged her, but in the end, itâs her own child. I couldnât keep my child and have no fate with children in this lifetime. I donât want Jinyan to end up like me, soâ¦â
She was worried that Su Yingxue would blame her.
But Su Yingxue was only filled with rage, âThe child did nothing wrong, and Sister Jinyan is innocent too! But who is this villain? Let me find out, and I will butcher him!â
âDonât⦠donât harm my child!â
