Li Qin immediately felt worried, blaming herself for saying things she shouldn't have, but she still blurted them out in a daze.
Seeing Wen Qiao like this, Li Qin was afraid that Wen Qiao would feel uncomfortable if she heard these words.
After all, she was pregnant with triplets.
She was busy saying comforting words.
"Xiao Qiao, don't take it seriously. Look at me, I've said something I shouldn't have."
Wen Qiao said softly:
“Sister-in-law, you’re right. You should have told me this so I could have explained it to you. Ji Chuan and I are an older man and a younger woman, which many people don’t think is a good thing. There’s no way we’d be talking about it. If I really wasn’t pregnant, or not pregnant that much, I would definitely go to their door and see who’s gossiping.”
Li Qin didn't dare say that Yu Mengxian was currently living at Director Li's house.
The person who could fabricate rumors about Deputy Division Commander Shen's poor health must be Yu Mengxian.
Apart from her, who in this family compound would dare to speak carelessly about Deputy Division Commander Shen's poor health?
Wen Qiao didn't think she was pretending to be weak; she was weak right now.
It would be unwise and dangerous for her to confront Yu Mengxian head-on.
Since Li Qin had come to her house today, Wen Qiao took the opportunity to show her pitiful side.
When Li Qin got back, she was sure she would embellish what she told Wang Gang.
Wen Qiao hoped that Wang Gang would go directly to Director Li.
After Li Qin left, Wen Qiao sat on the sofa and looked at Sister Wu, whose face was pale from the cold and whose hands and feet were stiff.
Sister Wu just went out to see Yu Mengxian off. She thought she would just be seeing her off for a short while and would be back soon. She wasn't even wearing an overcoat.
Who knew that Wen Qiao would lock me out for so long?
Sister Wu was completely frozen.
Wen Qiao opened the door and looked at her with a detached gaze.
“If you don’t want to do it, leave now, but I won’t pay you a single penny. You spoke ill of me to my face, so tell me, shouldn’t I lock you up outside to calm down?”
Sister Wu nodded stiffly.
Wen Qiao knew that she was definitely not convinced, but she had to endure it.
This time, we'll teach her a lesson; at least it'll keep her quiet for a few days.
Wen Qiao definitely needs to find another nanny, but at this critical juncture, she can't go looking for someone herself, so she can only make do with the one she has for now.
She's just sitting at home with nothing to do, can't she keep an eye on a nanny?
Back home, Li Qin looked at her husband with a guilty look in her eyes. Wang Gang knew what his wife was thinking as soon as he looked up.
"Did you say anything inappropriate in front of Wen Qiao when you went to the Shen family?"
"Let me tell you, Shen Jichuan said before he left that he entrusted his wife to our family. If anything happens to Wen Qiao, you won't be able to explain it to Shen Jichuan, even before I come after you."
Wang Gang deliberately exaggerated the situation to intimidate Li Qin.
Upon hearing this, Li Qin immediately became nervous and fearful.
He said it in a trembling voice.
"You're too late. When I was delivering sweet potatoes to Wen Qiao, I saw Yu Mengxian arrive. I asked her a question, and she scolded me for being nosy."
Wang Gang slammed his chopsticks on the table, his eyes wide and round like copper bells.
"You're just being nosy, why are you bothering with Yu Mengxian?"
Li Qin got angry when she was scolded.
“Who cares about her? Let me tell you, the one spreading rumors in the family compound that Deputy Division Commander Shen is in poor health is Yu Mengxian. Think about it, who in our family compound would dare to talk about someone with the status of a deputy division commander?”
"And there's something even more serious: they're saying that Wen Qiaohuai's child isn't Deputy Division Commander Shen's."
“When Wen Qiao heard this, she felt wronged and pitiful. She even spoke to me with a sob in her voice. You know, she's a young woman, her parents aren't around, and her husband isn't by her side. How can you spread these rumors about her?”
“You’re the political commissar of the division, you have to take care of this.”
Wang Gang heard Li Qin say that Wen Qiao had cried.
His tone softened.
