Is this considered mutual flattery between the two of them?
The two men sat at Wu Lao Er's house for a while before saying goodbye.
Wu Lao Er's wife saw the two of them out the door.
Wu Lao Er's wife held Xu Xin Ning's hand reluctantly and said, "Your belly is getting bigger and bigger, so you have to be more careful when you go out. In the future, try not to go out if you can avoid it. Even if you have to go out, Jing Heng or your uncle must accompany you. Everyone else has to be careful. We can't be malicious, but we must be wary of others. It looks peaceful now, but danger is everywhere, especially for someone as talented as you. Nannan, your aunt may not be a good person, but your aunt hopes that you will have a smooth and peaceful life. You must remember your aunt's words."
Xu Xinning felt very conflicted. She understood the reminder from Wu's second daughter-in-law and knew that she had indirectly acknowledged her identity.
Xu Xinning couldn't understand why she should admit it to her if she hadn't fully exposed herself.
Perhaps she already knew someone was watching her.
Another possibility is that enemy agents have some grand plan, and she is one of their targets in this grand plan, which is nothing more than related to domestic and foreign exchange meetings.
Mu Jingheng stared intently at Wu's second daughter-in-law.
The second daughter-in-law of the Wu family looked at the two of them with a smile, her smile seemingly showing relief and liberation.
For some reason, Xu Xinning had a bad feeling.
Although Xu Xinning didn't have much affection for Wu's second son's wife, and their relationship seemed to be one-sided on Wu's second son's wife's part, when this bad premonition surged into her heart, she couldn't help but think of Wang Ying.
They all know Wang Ying's true identity now. She has passed away, but they haven't revealed it to the Chen family, especially Chen Jianguo, for the sake of their future.
Wang Ying's love for Xu Xinning was genuine; it was as deep as that between a mother and daughter.
Xu Xinning finds it difficult to categorize Wang Ying as simply a good person or a bad person.
To the country, Wang Ying is an enemy agent, a bad person; but to Xu Xinning, she is willing to give up her life for him.
Perhaps at their level, there's no distinction between good and bad people; it's simply a matter of different perspectives.
The same goes for Wu's second daughter-in-law. Even though Xu Xinning is indifferent to her, she is always sincerely trying to get closer to Xu Xinning.
After the incident in the department store restroom, Xu Xinning also thought that if Wu's second daughter-in-law really wanted to harm her, she actually had a chance.
Based on what Mu Jingheng said later, it's clear that the enemy agents had made a meticulous plan to kidnap Xu Xinning.
However, Wu's second daughter-in-law changed her mind halfway through. Not only did she not make a move on Xu Xinning herself, she also stopped others from doing so.
Today's reminder makes her behavior seem too similar to Wang Ying's.
They truly are sisters.
Xu Xinning herself didn't realize that she was gripping the hand of Wu's second son's wife tighter and tighter.
Mu Jingheng looked at Wu's second daughter-in-law with a very serious expression and said, "Auntie, I hope you won't leave this courtyard unless necessary."
The second daughter-in-law of the Wu family looked at Mu Jingheng and smiled gently: "I will. Would you believe me if I said I was really tired of this kind of life?"
Xu Xinning stared intently at Wu's second son's wife: "Why?"
The second daughter-in-law of the Wu family said helplessly, "Would you believe me if I said I had no choice?"
Xu Xinning: "I believe you!"
Wu's second daughter-in-law smiled, a smile so bright, and raised her hand to gently stroke Xu Xinning's face: "Thank you! Please take good care of Jian Guo for me."
Hsu Hsin-ning: "If you want the country to prosper, then live a good life."
Wu's second son's wife: "Didn't you know that boy has been slowly poisoning me?"
Xu Xinning frowned. She knew she had been poisoned, but she didn't know which adopted son had done it. She had suspected it before, but he seemed to have no motive.
Wu's second son's wife: "He wanted to control me and make me serve his Nakano family. Unfortunately, he was too arrogant and didn't control his actions well. He wasn't cunning enough either. I knew his purpose a long time ago. It's what I wanted to see that he was exposed so early."
Mu Jingheng: "Why did you have to say it today?"
Wu's second son's wife: "I'm afraid I won't have a chance."
Xu Xinning: "I can save you."
Wu's second daughter-in-law shook her head: "No need, this is my destiny. Living too long is not a good thing for me."
Wu's second daughter-in-law then turned to Mu Jingheng and said, "I'm sorry, that's all I can say. I don't want to do anything against my conscience anymore, but I also can't betray my country."
Xu Xinning held the hand of Wu's second daughter-in-law and said emotionally, "I want you to live. If you live, anything is possible."
Wu's second daughter-in-law gently patted Xu Xinning's hand and said, "We will all die eventually. People like us are not very valuable. During the war, we were forgotten in other countries. When we need to use them, we are brainwashed and made to be loyal to the country. To put it bluntly, we are just rootless duckweed. We can't go back to our country, and we dare not hope for a home."
Don't overthink it, just hold onto your happiness. Remember to take a few extra people with you when you go out, and make sure Jingheng or your uncle goes with you. Even after the exchange meeting is over, don't let your guard down. As long as I'm alive, I'll protect you.
Xu Xinning: "Why are you so good to me?"
Wu's second son's wife: "I don't know why, it's just an instinct to protect you and not want you to get hurt."
Mu Jingheng took Xu Xinning's hand and left, while Wu's second daughter-in-law stood at the door watching them walk away.
Wu's second daughter-in-law sometimes wondered why she cared so much about Xu Xinning's safety, regardless of her identity; it seemed she wanted to protect Xu Xinning from the bottom of her heart.
Perhaps I owed her something in my past life?
Neither Xu Xinning nor Mu Jingheng spoke a word the entire way.
It was one thing to suspect Wu's second son's wife before, but it's another thing to expose her now.
Mu Jingheng took Xu Xinning home and then left.
Xu Xinning knew that he had gone to Grandpa Jiang to talk about the second daughter-in-law of the Wu family.
Qin Yao and Kuang Meizhu were sitting on the sofa knitting sweaters and pants for the child. When they saw Xu Xinning come in, they smiled and said, "We thought you would have dinner at Uncle Wu's house before coming back! Why don't you play a little longer?"
Xu Xinning: "Jingheng had something to do, so he came back."
Qin Yao looked behind Xu Xinning and realized that Mu Jingheng was nowhere to be seen.
Qin Yao: "Did something come up at the last minute? He said this morning that he was going to make you fish slices."
Xu Xinning: "Yes! Something came up unexpectedly."
Qin Yao: "I didn't expect Jingheng to be even busier than Jinghuai. When Jinghuai isn't on a mission, at least he can have three meals at home, but Jingheng seems to be busy every day. Why is there so much going on at his workplace? And my uncle, I don't think he's ever had a break."
Xu Xinning: "It's a special time now, things will get better later."
