He worried that if the truth came out, His Majesty would directly arrange for Lin Xihe to marry Gu Qinghuai.
When Ji Zhuo arrived at the camp, he lifted the tent flap and was instantly stunned by the sight before him.
Lin Xihe and her mother were kneeling face to face on the ground, and her mother was already crying her eyes out.
Seeing this, Ji Zhuo was extremely anxious and hurriedly stepped forward to help Chu Yunni up: "Mother, what are you doing? Get up quickly."
As she spoke, she gently supported Lin Xihe with her other hand and said softly, "Xi'er, you should get up too."
Chu Yunni flung Ji Zhuo's hand away, her emotions running high, her eyes reddening, and she said in a tearful voice, "Zhuo'er, let me make things clear to you today. If you continue to entangle yourself with Miss Lin, then I will kneel here forever. You only have eyes for this woman and don't care about the family anymore. Your father and I might as well hang ourselves."
"Mother, what are you saying?"
Chu Yunni looked at Ji Zhuo, her eyes filled with heartache and disappointment, and questioned, "She is already pregnant with another man's child, why are you still so stubborn?"
Ji Zhuo quickly explained, "Mother, it was just an accident. I don't care whose child it is, I only care about Xi'er."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yunni frowned, her attitude resolute, and she said sternly, "Mother absolutely disagrees. If you insist on doing so, there will surely be unrest in the family."
Lin Xihe looked at the two arguing in front of her, feeling a mix of self-blame and exhaustion. She took a deep breath, her voice soft yet resolute: "It's my fault, I promise you, Madam Ji."
"really?"
“It is true, from now on, I will never see Ji Zhuo again.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Zhuo was taken aback at first, then stepped forward and asked, "Xi'er, what did you say?"
Lin Xihe looked at Ji Zhuo, a trace of pain flashing in her eyes: "Ji Zhuo, I'm tired. You're not able to protect me forever. I'm already exhausted from wavering back and forth like this. Now that Gu Qinghuai knows I'm pregnant, I don't want any more complications."
After Lin Xihe finished speaking, she slowly stood up, her expression calm, but her tone revealed a hint of weariness: "I won't see you off."
Ji Zhuo knew that continuing the argument was pointless. He knew his mother's stubbornness and that the situation did not allow him to delay any longer. Seeing Lin Xihe's exhausted face, he couldn't bear it and decided to take his mother back first so that Lin Xihe could rest well, and they could talk about it later.
