Chapter 47 Pregnant
Chapter 47 Pregnant
Jiang Huanxi could not deny that the Xie family would do such a thing, but no matter what, he still could not feel at ease letting Jiang Yuyue face all of this alone.
"Sister, why don't you come with us to the water town?"
Jiang Huanxi continued to persuade him, "Since you've already prepared another place to stay, our family can just leave and go far away. Why do you need to go back and cause trouble?"
"rest assured."
Jiang Yuyue said calmly, "The Xie family is so arrogant, how can we not teach them a lesson? I can't swallow this insult. As for my safety, you don't need to worry, after all... I'm carrying the Xie family's blood in my belly."
Upon hearing this, all three members of the Jiang family were greatly shocked, and Jiang Huanxi was even more incoherent, saying...
"This...this...sister, you...you're pregnant with Xie Yunqi's child?!"
This is certainly not Xie Yunqi's child.
In fact, Jiang Yuyue was still unsure whether she was pregnant or not. Although she had been intimate with Xie Jinglan countless times, perhaps it wasn't long enough, and she hadn't yet felt any pregnancy on her arm.
But if she doesn't reveal her pregnancy soon, it will be too late. If she really fails to conceive, she can always try Xie Jinglan a few more times, or pretend to be pregnant and then plan a miscarriage. There are plenty of ways to do it.
"Who else could it be but Xie Yunqi?"
Jiang Yuyue naturally couldn't reveal such a daring plan to her family, otherwise her parents would probably be terrified.
"It must have been conceived on our wedding night. Now, just over a month later, I started feeling a little unwell a couple of days ago. Upon closer inspection, I found that I was pregnant."
Jiang Huanxi gasped upon hearing this. Although this nephew was also his sister's bloodline, the thought that he was also a descendant of the Xie family made him feel extremely complicated and unwilling to accept this reality.
"Sis...you didn't make a mistake in your diagnosis, did you? How could it suddenly be like this..."
Jiang Huanxi was still unwilling to give up and reached out to take Jiang Yuyue's pulse, "Let me confirm for you..."
Jiang Yuyue was startled and immediately took a step back.
If it were revealed that she wasn't pregnant, it would be difficult to convince her parents. So she immediately feigned anger and said, "Do you perhaps doubt your sister's medical skills?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Huanxi paused, while Jiang Yuyue immediately changed the subject.
"You don't need to worry. Even for the sake of the child in my belly, the Xie family will still treat me well. After all, Xie Yunqi is dead, and the child in my belly is Xie Yunqi's only child."
In this way, the three members of the Jiang family were barely persuaded. They immediately ordered their servants to pack up their valuables and prepare to leave. Seeing that the matter was settled and there was no room for maneuver, Jiang Huanxi thought for a long time and finally walked to Xie Jinglan's carriage with a gloomy face.
Xie Jinglan was resting with his eyes closed in the carriage when he was awakened by a series of impolite knocks. Jixiang immediately pushed open the carriage door, and standing outside was Jiang Huanxi.
Seeing that Xie Jinglan's complexion had indeed improved considerably, a hint of displeasure flashed in Jiang Huanxi's eyes.
But thinking of his sister, he still spoke in a stiff tone, "This Doctor Baili's medical skills are truly remarkable; they have actually made your illness improve."
Xie Jinglan neither confirmed nor denied this, but he knew that Jiang Huanxi had clearly not come here to say such nonsense.
"Just say what you have to say."
"My sister wants our whole family to go to the water town."
Jiang Huanxi stared intently at him, "As a member of the Xie family, you should be very familiar with the character of your Xie family members."
"My sister went into the den of wolves in your Xie family all by herself. I just want to say that you should take care of my sister in everything, considering that she traveled all the way to the capital to treat your illness."
Hearing this, Xie Jinglan was quite surprised. Jiang Huanxi had never hidden her dislike for him, yet now she had come to entrust him with her affairs.
However, seeing the sincerity in Jiang Huanxi's words, he didn't say anything more.
The coldness in his eyes faded, and he softly agreed.
"it is good."
Jiang Yuyue helped her parents pack their luggage. Unexpectedly, the family had only been together for a short while before they had to part again. Seeing her mother's tearful face, Jiang Yuyue was also quite reluctant to leave.
Before dealing with the Xie family, she couldn't repeat the same mistake; she had to ensure the safety of her own family.
"Alright, it's getting late, you should hurry on your way."
Jiang Yuyue secretly wiped away her tears and then instructed Jiang Huanxi, "Axi, walk slowly on the way and take good care of your parents. Remember to send me a message when you get there safely."
No matter how reluctant they were to part, they had to separate eventually. Watching the Jiang family's carriage drive away, Jiang Yuyue reluctantly got into the carriage.
"Jixiang, let's go back to the Xie family."
As soon as Jiang Yuyue sat down, Xie Jinglan turned to look at her and asked abruptly, "Are you pregnant?"
Jiang Yuyue was almost choked by the sudden question. But Xie Jinglan's hearing was so good? He could hear their conversation in the courtyard so clearly from inside the carriage?
"That was just to fool my parents, how could it be so fast..."
Before Jiang Yuyue could finish speaking, a strong feeling of nausea surged up as if to refute her words, causing her to gag.
Seeing this, Xiao Liu quickly handed her a water bottle and gently patted Jiang Yuyue's shoulder to help her catch her breath, but judging from her appearance, it was obvious that...
After Jiang Yuyue's nausea subsided, Xiao Liu cautiously spoke.
"Miss... your reaction is a bit like morning sickness? Could it be...?"
Jiang Yuyue was reminded of this and immediately realized what was going on. She quickly reached out to check her pulse, and after a moment, a look of joy appeared on her face.
It's a pregnancy pulse!
Xie Jinglan, observing her reaction, understood. Although it was expected, the sudden news still left him with mixed feelings.
"It is indeed pregnant..."
Jiang Yuyue was also still a little shaken up. She reached out and touched her still flat stomach, feeling a mix of emotions.
When her gaze fell upon Xie Jinglan, and seeing that he still maintained an indifferent expression, she coughed lightly a few times, feigning concern.
“Although this child is… we still have to announce to the outside world that he is your older brother Xie Yunqi’s. Remember not to let it slip! Otherwise, the lives of us may be in danger.”
"Ah."
Xie Jinglan closed his eyes and gave a faint reply. Jiang Yuyue was inexplicably annoyed by his appearance, but she had achieved her initial goal. Now the real show was about to begin!
Jixiang, who was driving the carriage outside, also heard the conversation inside, and his expression was even stranger than that of the people inside the carriage.
I never imagined that His Highness would have a child with "Sister-in-law," and that this child would even have to call someone else "Dad"...
If Steward Zhao found out about these things, Jixiang could imagine him being so angry that he would vomit blood.
