Chapter 386 Mother-in-law’s Detection 2

Hearing Madam Qin’s question, Zhou Wenjing’s heart skipped a beat, but she still answered, “Yes.”

Madam Qin said lightly, “Wenjing, my son has always been stubborn. It’s been hard on you.”

Zhou Wenjing looked at Madam Qin and said, “Mother-in-law, I don’t feel aggrieved. I did it willingly.”

She was just indignant and resentful. If she could go back to that time, she would no longer naively think that she could move Sun Yangxin. She would stay far away from him.

However, she could not start over. She had already wasted half her life. She had no choice.

In her sleeves, she clenched her fists tightly. The pain in her palms made her feel a little clearer.

She said with difficulty, “Mother-in-law, I’ll go down first.”

“Wait.”

Madam Qin opened her eyes and sighed as she looked at Zhou Wenjing.

Then, Madam Qin opened her mouth and said, “Wenjing, have you ever thought about how you’ll face him after you’re pregnant? You can’t keep restraining him like this. You have to let him go, and what will he do after he’s free. Have you ever thought about it?”

Zhou Wenjing was a smart person. She wanted to escape, but Madam Qin didn’t give her a chance. This matter could not be resolved by escaping.

This was something Zhou Wenjing had to resolve. She had tacitly allowed Zhou Wenjing to temporarily control Sun Yangxin, but this was only temporary.

Zhou Wenjing looked at Madam Qin. She lowered her eyes and tried her best not to tremble. She said with difficulty, “Mother-in-law, please give me instructions.”

She knew what Madam Qin wanted to say, but she was too narrow-minded. If that was the case, she would not say it herself. She was stubborn.

She would not say that kind of thing, only Madam Qin would say that.

Madam Qin looked at Zhou Wenjing and said, “Wenjing, my son will never be able to walk out of Yan Mian’s shadow in this lifetime. That woman looks like Yan Mian. Use her as a substitute. You have always been sensible. I will be at ease if I leave this matter to you.”

“This way, when you’re pregnant, he’ll be able to tolerate you.”

Madam Qin looked at Zhou Wenjing. She believed that Zhou Wenjing knew what to do. This daughter-in-law of hers had always been smart.

Under Madam Qin’s gaze, Zhou Wenjing lowered her head and suppressed all her turbulent emotions. Her tears dripped onto the back of her hand. She gulped and answered Madam Qin, “I’ll listen to everything you say. Don’t worry, Mother-in-law. I know what to do.”

With that said, Zhou Wenjing turned around and left.

Her eyes were cold, and she smiled self-deprecatingly.

Even though doing this was no different than stabbing a nail into her heart, Madam Qin still did it because Sun Yangxin was her biological son.

Madam Qin could not bear to let Sun Yangxin suffer alone for the rest of her life. Even if it was not Yan Mian, she did not care. It was fine as long as she could make her son happy.

Since she had become a sensible daughter-in-law, Madam Qin would understand her future plans for her child.

When Zhou Wenjing returned to the main courtyard, she called for a servant and instructed.

Since she wanted to do a good job, she naturally had to control the woman’s situation.

On the 11th of February, early in the morning, Qi Xingzhi packed up seriously and left after informing the residence.

He came to the place Su Hua had told him about and took a few deep breaths. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard a sound that made his body tremble.

“What are you doing here, Xingzhi?”

Qi Xingfeng followed him all the way. Seeing that Qi Xingzhi was about to knock on the door, he couldn’t help but come out and speak.

Qi Xingzhi looked vexed. He gritted his teeth and turned around to look at Qi Xingfeng. “Brother, why are you following me? Aren’t you supposed to be in the barracks these few days?”

He had clearly tricked him out yesterday and he did not come back last night.

Why did he come back today? Unfortunately, he met him and was followed again.

Qi Xingzhi was annoyed that Qi Xingfeng didn’t use his brain. He was also annoyed that he wasn’t vigilant enough and didn’t notice that he was being followed.

Qi Xingfeng smiled and touched his head. “I just wanted to tell you that I dreamed of Aunt last night. I dreamed that she came home. Great-grandfather was very happy and even praised me. I couldn’t hold it in and wanted to share this good news with you. I came here before I even had breakfast. Who knew that I would see you sneaking around outside? I was curious, so I followed you.”

After saying that, Qi Xingfeng’s expression was very calm. He had a look that said, “Anyway, you can’t blame me.”

“Alright, I’ve answered what you asked me. Now it’s your turn to give me an explanation. What are you doing here?”

Qi Xingfeng became serious.

Qi Xingzhi gritted his teeth and said, “Damn it, why do I have such a brainless brother like you? Apart from meeting my aunt, what else can I do here?”

“Big Brother, I’m not joking with you. Listen to me carefully. Aunt only asked me to come alone, so I can’t bring you along. Now, leave immediately. If you anger Aunt, I’ll go back and tell my great-grandfather. See if he’ll beat you up.”

At this point, Qi Xingzhi could only explain to Qi Xingfeng truthfully. His expression was stern, hoping to let Qi Xingfeng realize that he wasn’t joking.

Qi Xingfeng was unhappy after hearing that. His emotions were written all over his face. “How am I shameful? At most, I won’t say anything…”

‘You take me there.’ He swallowed the rest of his words before he could finish them.

“Brother, I’m the only one going this time.”

Qi Xingzhi’s stern expression did not change. This meant that this matter could not be discussed.

Qi Xingfeng said unhappily, “Alright, I’ll wait for you outside. When you come out, you must tell me everything immediately.”

Qi Xingzhi nodded. “Okay.”

This was his bottom line. He also knew that this was Qi Xingfeng’s bottom line.

Seeing that Qi Xingzhi agreed, Qi Xingfeng turned around and left. However, he didn’t go far before he turned around and sat down to wait.

Qi Xingzhi heaved a sigh of relief after Qi Xingfeng left. He turned around and knocked on the door.

Su Xiaolu and Su Chong looked at each other in the room. Su Chong nodded at Su Xiaolu.

Su Xiaolu opened the door.

Sometimes, when she woke up early, she would practice the sword. Coincidentally, she woke up early today and Su Chong practiced early every day.

What a coincidence. Su Xiaolu and Su Chong heard the conversation between Qi Xingzhi and Qi Xingfeng outside.

In order to avoid embarrassment, the siblings tacitly remained silent. They waited for Qi Xingzhi and Qi Xingfeng to discuss and knock on the door before opening it.

Su Xiaolu didn’t know Qi Xingzhi, but as she listened to the conversation between the two brothers, she felt that the Qi brothers were quite cute. When she opened the door, Su Xiaolu smiled at Qi Xingzhi and said, “Hello.”

Qi Xingzhi looked at Su Xiaolu. He was stunned for a moment before saying, “Hello, my name is Qi Xingzhi.”

No wonder Su Hua was so shocked when he saw his portrait yesterday. It turned out that the portrait he deduced was the same as the real person.

“My name is Su Xiaolu.”

Su Xiaolu said with a smile.
