Chapter 831
However, as soon as Doukou arrived, Jixiang keenly sensed that something was wrong with her.
After Doukou sat down, Jixiang asked the question that had been bothering her: "Doukou, what's wrong?"
Doukou shook her head: "It's nothing... Miss Jixiang, you order the food, this meal is on me."
“That won’t do,” Jixiang said. “We have some connection, and I missed your wedding. I have to treat you to this meal today.”
After saying that, as if afraid that Doukou would snatch it from her again, Jixiang asked her, "What kind of wine do you want to drink? The wine at this restaurant is also very good, and it's not strong, so it's suitable for us."
"No need, Miss Jixiang, I... am not in a good position."
As she spoke, Doukou unconsciously touched her lower abdomen.
Ji Xiang is no stranger to this action.
When Huo Zhao found out she was pregnant, even though her pregnancy wasn't showing, she would always subconsciously make this gesture.
Jixiang blinked: "You wouldn't... be pregnant, would you?"
Seeing Doukou nod, Jixiang felt as if her heart had died.
This was clearly a joyous occasion, but Jixiang just couldn't feel happy.
Both Jixiang and Doukou ate their meal with heavy hearts.
As soon as Jixiang finished eating, she returned to the Prince's Mansion and couldn't wait to tell Huo Zhao what had happened.
Unsurprisingly, Huo Zhao was greatly shocked.
Shen Rang, standing to the side, seemed a little confused: "What's wrong?"
It's just one person getting pregnant, isn't it?
Huo Zhao told Jixiang to step back before speaking to Shen Rang: "There is someone who first deceived your cousin, making her try every means to stay in Luoyang and be with him. But when he came to Luoyang to take the exam last year, he had already married Doukou, and now the two have a child."
Shen Rang's eyes widened: "Such a thing is true?"
“That’s right,” Huo Zhao said. “That’s your cousin. You should talk to her and tell her not to hang herself on a crooked tree.”
This tree is really leaning way too far.
Hanging up there for even a little longer would be fatal.
Shen Rang pointed to himself: "Me go and say it? That's not appropriate. You're her cousin-in-law. Why don't you go and say it?"
What cousins? That sounds inappropriate.
It wasn't that Shen Rang was narcissistic, but this incident was undoubtedly a major blow to Qi Jing. What if Qi Jing had a mental breakdown and burst into tears while holding him?
Then he can forget about getting close to Huo Zhao for the rest of his life.
Shen Rang deeply sympathized with Qi Jing's plight, but he wouldn't get involved himself.
“No, no, I won’t go. You go,” Shen Rang said. “If all else fails, I’ll talk to Mother about it and ask her to take a look.”
Huo Zhao glanced at her helplessly: "The old lady just left, let your mother-in-law have some peace and quiet."
Since the old lady came to Luoyang, she had been living in the North Courtyard and must have caused Zheng a lot of trouble. Now that the old lady has finally left, Zheng must be overjoyed.
Let the Zheng family have some fun.
The couple exchanged a glance and fell silent.
After a while, Huo Zhao suddenly remembered someone: "Does your cousin know your cousin Su Su?"
"We're all family, we should know each other, right?"
However, whether they are close or not is hard to say.
The couple exchanged a glance.
Better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me.
Let Yao Susu go.
