While taking her pulse, Shangguan Wu replied, "Mom, I'm fine. But you can't worry about it anymore. If you want to give birth to a healthy child, you need to keep a happy mood and not worry too much."
She deliberately made it sound so serious so that her mother would take it seriously and stop her from overthinking.
Qin Xiaoxian opened her mouth, then suddenly turned to look at her husband: "You go out first, Wu Bao and I need to have a private talk."
Shangguan Lin glared at him: "Can't I listen in on your whispers?"
Qin Xiaoxian said firmly, "No."
"All right."
Shangguan Lin had no choice but to leave the bedroom, looking back every few steps.
If the situation weren't so strange, Shangguan Wu would have loved to laugh.
After the door closed behind her, Qin Xiaoxian grabbed her youngest daughter's hand and got straight to the point: "Wubao, did your older sister get divorced?"
Shangguan Wu's eyes narrowed slightly, her first thought being that the servants of the Shangguan family had been bribed!
But she smiled and asked, "Where did you hear such rumors?"
Qin Xiaoxian looked at her eyes seriously: "Don't lie to me. Although I guessed it, I have evidence."
Shangguan Wu's lips twitched: "You even found evidence? Where is it?"
"It's in the phone; your dad deliberately smashed it."
"..."
Isn't this just like protesting too much?
Shangguan Wu looked on with helplessness.
Qin Xiaoxian added, "Besides, your eldest sister was afraid I would find out, so she didn't go back to her parents' home for a month or two, which actually exposed her. Because your eldest sister is very filial, she will definitely come back to see me often now that I'm pregnant."
Shangguan Wu was stunned!
She initially thought that someone with ulterior motives had bribed the maid to tell her mother, but it turned out that her mother had guessed it herself.
Suddenly Qin Xiaoxian sighed: "You all don't know, I added Han Yaowen on WeChat before, and after I found something was wrong, I contacted him. He told me himself that he was divorced and asked me and the Shangguan family not to disturb his life."
Shangguan Wu was speechless with astonishment.
"You are truly quick-witted, as expected of you," she praised, giving a thumbs up.
Qin Xiaoxian glared at her: "Stop joking around."
Shangguan Wu immediately sat up straight and said seriously, "Mom, my eldest sister is doing very well after her divorce. She is doing what she loves and her days are very fulfilling. We kept it from you because we didn't want you to overthink things and get depressed, which would affect your and the baby's health. Who knew you were so smart that you figured it out on your own?"
The key is to go and verify with Han Yaowen.
Han Yaowen should be thankful he didn't spout nonsense in front of his mother, otherwise...
A fierce glint flashed in Shangguan Wu's eyes.
Han Yaowen was severely beaten by Anan and his men, so he wouldn't dare to provoke them again!
People are only jealous of those who are similar to themselves. If the other person is in a superior position, then they can only envy them and dare not provoke them.
In Han Yaowen's eyes, the W Group was an entity that should never be messed with!
“I know you mean well, but I feel so guilty towards your older sister. She’s not doing well in her husband’s family, and I didn’t know anything about it. If I hadn’t gone out with your father and had stayed at home, I would have definitely noticed something when she came back to visit me. My good daughter has been mistreated by outsiders and deceived by ungrateful people, and I didn’t know anything. I even thought she was doing well. I don’t deserve to be a mother!”
As Qin Xiaoxian spoke, tears fell from her eyes. Whenever she thought of this, a huge sense of guilt would overwhelm her.
Shangguan Wu quickly pulled out a tissue to wipe her tears.
"Mom, the past is the past, we need to look forward..."
Qin Xiaoxian interrupted her, sobbing, "I will never get over this. Your second sister didn't return to China before, and this might have been a reason."
Shangguan Wuzhen never expected her to think so much; no wonder she was in poor spirits.
She thought for a moment and suggested, "Dad said that my eldest sister will be back tomorrow. Why don't you have a good talk with her and clear things up? If you feel sorry for her, you can find her a good man. Of course, if my eldest sister doesn't want to get married, you can take good care of your eldest daughter, okay?"
Only by resolving her inner conflict can her mother stop worrying so much.
Qin Xiaoxian asked somewhat nervously, "Will Xiaoxue blame me?"
Shangguan Wu held her hand and comforted her, "Mom, if my eldest sister blamed you, she wouldn't call home so often."
It's better for the eldest sister to say the rest herself.
So she changed the subject: "Has the baby been behaving well lately? Has he thrown a tantrum when you've been disobedient?"
Qin Xiaoxian was stunned.
"No, he didn't throw a tantrum at all, he was very well-behaved."
"He must know that Mom is working very hard and doesn't want to add to her burden..."
Shangguan Wu always brought up the topic of children.
When talking about the baby in her belly, Qin Xiaoxian became more talkative, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.
While listening to her, Shangguan Wu massaged the acupoints on her legs.
Not long after, Qin Xiaoxian fell asleep.
Shangguan Wu stopped and waited for a few minutes before tiptoeing out of the bedroom.
At the doorway, Shangguan Lin leaned against the wall, looking remorseful.
Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow: "Dad, you heard everything?"
Shangguan Lin nodded with a heavy expression. He hadn't closed the door properly when he came out.
"I had no idea she was thinking so much all by herself. I'm by her side every day, and I don't even know what she's thinking... Wu Bao, am I being very negligent?"
"Yes, there is some, but since it has happened, we will find a way to solve it."
Shangguan Wu knew that her father was simple-minded, and if her mother wanted to hide something from him, she would definitely not let him find out.
Shangguan Lin asked timidly, "How...how do we solve this?"
