Chapter 74: Ruining a Marriage
Jiaoran panicked. It seemed that what she did was not very kind. Those who ruined other people's marriages would go to hell.
"What are you looking at?"
Jiaoran was hesitating whether to tell him that their affair had been discovered, and when he looked again, Cheng Yuan had already left.
"Uh, nothing."
He pulled her back to lie down and asked, "Then what are you craning your neck to look at?"
"I've been lying down for a long time and I'm tired. I need to move around."
He was already weak from his injuries, and it took him a while to fall asleep. Jiaoran called him several times this time, and only opened the door and walked out after making sure that he was really asleep.
There was a maid outside the door waiting to pass on a message, "Madam said that when the young lady comes out, please go to the west pavilion, where she will be waiting."
Shao Feng was sweeping the courtyard. He put down his things and said, "Shall I go with Jiao Ran?"
The maid's expression immediately changed. "Madam has already said that Miss Jiaoran should go alone. Are you questioning Madam?"
Jiaoran said it was okay, "I want to eat fried fish, Shaofeng, tell Sister Xiaoju to remember to add another dish tonight."
“Eat, eat, eat. Just remember to eat.”
Just as she was about to tell the young master, Jiaoran stopped her with a smile, "Oh, no need to go. He just fell asleep and he will wake up easily. Don't go and wake him. I'll be back soon."
Shao Feng leaned in closer and whispered, "Be careful, Madam Cheng."
"Know."
Jiaoran came to the West Pavilion and saw that the sun was setting. Cheng Yuan was alone and melancholy in the golden light, sitting on a rattan chair and rocking himself casually.
"Madam Cheng."
"You should call me Madam in Siyu Garden."
Jiao Ran nodded, "Madam."
"Aren't you ashamed?"
Jiao Ran was a little confused. "What does the lady want me to do?"
"Leave Siyuyuan."
She said she couldn't do it. "He would be unhappy if I left, and I didn't want him to be that unhappy."
"Then you're going to let me get angry?"
Jiao Ran said, "That's not what I meant."
She suddenly jumped down from the rattan chair, and forcibly pulled Jiaoran's hand to her abdomen, "Touch me."
Why would someone say that for no reason?! Jiaoran felt that this was not a good idea.
"What's wrong with you?" You couldn't be hungry.
“My child is right here.”
Jiao Ran exclaimed, "You... have a child?"
"right."
"Is it Mu Jin's?"
A hint of guilt flashed across Cheng Yuan's face. "Of course, who else do you think it belongs to?"
Could Mu Jin be lying to her again? Damn it, she just had sex with the father of someone else's child. She really did something sinful. She slept with the father of someone else's child!
"That's not what I meant. I'm not doubting what you said. I...I mean--" He was interrupted halfway through his words.
The person who came was Chai Lie. He still had the same warm and refreshing smile as always. "Are you saying that you are pregnant?"
Cheng Yuan panicked for a moment, then said stubbornly, "Yes, if you don't believe me, you can send someone to check my pulse."
Chai Lie smiled and said, "Congratulations."
"Miss Jiaoran, could you please let me stay and talk to Madam Cheng for a few words? I have something to ask you."
Jiaoran keenly noticed that there was something strange about these two people, one was aggressive and the other was not willing to look directly at him.
Something was wrong, absolutely wrong. He looked at Cheng Yuan as if he was looking at one of his own treasures.
Cheng Yuan looked at Jiao Ran for help, and Jiao Ran said, "It's getting dark, and Madam is alone here, and you are worried. You can talk to me tomorrow if you have anything to say."
Chai Lie's smile suddenly froze on his face, and he dropped the pretense. "Miss Jiaoran, it's best if you don't meddle in our affairs."
Jiaoran looked at the two people and there was really something going on.
When she understood this, she felt relieved. If these two people had nothing, she would have been so guilty that she couldn't even raise her head in front of Cheng Yuan.
He pulled Cheng Yuan's arm and said, "Come with me."
Jiao Ran chuckled and grabbed Cheng Yuan's other arm, "She's pregnant, don't be so abrupt, young master."
