Jiang Suihe, who was reading a book, suddenly tightened her grip on the book, causing it to crumple slightly.
She timidly raised her head, her gaze not daring to meet Zhao Qianyu's direct eyes.
Zhao Qianyu glanced at Jiang Suihe and sighed helplessly. He seemed a little impatient, but still tried his best to make his tone sound balanced, "Suihe, I...I'm not forcing you, it's just..."
Before Zhao Qianyu could finish speaking, Jiang Ling and Shen Qianhe, who was laughing heartily, pushed open the door. Even though he was just a spoiled brat, he still had some sense of propriety. He immediately shut his mouth and stood aside tactfully.
"Qianyu, what brings you here too?" Jiang Ling hadn't had a chance to ask earlier because she was in a bit of a rush, but now that things were settled, she looked at Zhao Qianyu beside her and asked.
Zhao Qianyu scratched his head, his gaze drifting unnaturally to Jiang Suihe. What he thought was a small gesture was clearly seen by Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling suddenly remembered the sachet she had left with, but she didn't mention it because Shen Qianhe was present.
"Daughter, why didn't you tell your father you were pregnant?" Shen Qianhe asked Shen Congxin as she walked over.
"Father!" Shen Congxin glared at Shen Qianhe.
Shen Congxin leaned close to Shen Qianhe and whispered, "My mother-in-law said I couldn't tell her for the first three months! So I didn't tell her, and I was thinking of telling her after three months! Why are you making such a fuss! You're just afraid the people around you won't know!"
Because Shen Congxin was pregnant, Shen Qianhe was in a very good mood. He laughed and patted Jiang Yaojie on the shoulder, jokingly saying, "Well done, son-in-law, you're in good health!"
Jiang Yaojie was still just a child, and his face immediately turned red when Shen Qianhe teased him like that. He coughed lightly and said somewhat awkwardly, "Thank you for the compliment, Father-in-law!"
Shen Congxin saw through Jiang Yaojie's embarrassment. She walked over, took Jiang Yaojie's arm, and said, "Husband, look, your clothes are torn. Come back to the room with me and I'll mend them for you!"
Jiang Yaojie nodded repeatedly and said politely to Shen Qianhe, "Father-in-law, please have a seat. I will come out to keep you company in a moment!"
After saying that, he quickly followed Shen Congxin into the house.
"Husband, that's just how my father is, don't take it to heart!" Shen Congxin said, blushing as she held Jiang Yaojie's hand.
Jiang Yaojie gently hugged Shen Congxin and said softly, "Don't worry, I'm fine!"
The two of them lingered inside the house for a while before finally coming out.
Jiang Ling looked at the old women and servants and asked them about her situation during her absence. Fortunately, everything was normal.
After dinner, everyone dispersed in twos and threes. Jiang Ling looked at Jiang Suihe standing at the door with a hint of reluctance and felt a little helpless. She felt that these things really needed to be put on the agenda.
After seeing Zhao Qianyu off, only her own family members remained at home. Jiang Ling told the old women to go and rest first, while Jiang Shan and the others continued to guard outside their small courtyard.
Jiang Ling glanced at Jiang Suihe and said softly, "Suihe, come here! Mother has something to say to you!"
Jiang Suihe was taken aback. Always sensible, she followed behind Jiang Ling. This short distance of only a few meters was difficult for Jiang Suihe to walk.
"Suihe, sit there!" Jiang Ling's voice came again as Jiang Suihe was in a daze.
Jiang Suihe nodded repeatedly and sat obediently in the chair. Jiang Ling sat next to her, looking at Jiang Suihe, whose appearance was gradually becoming more outstanding, and felt a little complicated.
She still remembers the scene when Jiang Suihe was still called Lu Zhaodi. She was thin and pale like a bean sprout, and her face and clothes were filthy, but the look in her eyes was so firm.
She has grown taller and fairer, and her appearance has become increasingly beautiful.
"Sigh, no wonder Zhao Qianyu likes her. If Jiang Ling, who looks like that, were a man, even if he were a dozen years younger, he'd probably be smitten!" Thinking of this, Jiang Ling quickly shook off the unreliable information in her mind, while cursing herself inwardly, "What am I thinking! Have I forgotten the main purpose of asking Sui He to come here today!"
Jiang Ling lightly patted her forehead, thought for a moment, and then said, "Sui He, have you felt anything unusual lately or during this period?"
Her words were obscure and difficult to understand, and Jiang Suihe shook her head with a puzzled look.
Jiang Ling bit her lip, made up her mind, and said to Jiang Suihe, "I...I mean, have you fallen for someone?"
Before she finished speaking, just as Jiang Ling had expected, Jiang Suihe's fair face turned bright red. She lowered her head and clutched the hem of her clothes uncontrollably, her knuckles turning white from the force.
Jiang Ling didn't speak or urge Jiang Suihe, but waited patiently and gently for Jiang Suihe's answer.
The atmosphere in the air gradually froze, and a slightly awkward atmosphere gradually spread in Jiang Ling's bedroom. Jiang Suihe was still clutching the hem of her clothes, and her knuckles looked even whiter than before.
Seeing Jiang Suihe's anxious expression, almost to the point of tears, Jiang Ling felt a pang of regret and even began to doubt whether her question was right or wrong.
After all, Jiang Suihe has always been a well-behaved and sensible girl, so she doesn't need to worry about her too much.
"or……"
"Mother, I'm sorry!"
Jiang Ling wanted to drop the topic, but unexpectedly, Jiang Suihe suddenly knelt down in front of her. Hearing the dull thud, Jiang Ling felt extremely distressed. She quickly reached out to help Jiang Suihe up and said, "Never mind, never mind, if you don't want to talk about it, then forget it. I won't force you. Do you want to hurt your knees by hitting them like that? Let me see if you've hurt them!"
After saying that, Jiang Ling hugged Jiang Suihe with both hands and tried to pull her up.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Suihe seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and no matter how much Jiang Ling pulled or hugged her, Jiang Suihe remained kneeling on the ground without moving an inch.
After working for a while, Jiang Ling's forehead was covered in sweat. She frowned and looked at Jiang Suihe, her tone becoming more forceful, "What exactly do you want to do?"
