Chapter 1307: Chapter 1308: Hard to ntion
Aunt Guo had a strange expression on her face as she looked at Chiang Xiao, seemingly wanting to tell her sothing yet feeling it inappropriate. As for telling ng Xinian, she found it equally uncomfortable.
“Aunt Guo, just say what you want to say,” ng Xinian furrowed his brows.
Chiang Xiao seed to catch on to sothing and directly asked, “Aunt Guo, do you think Duan Qingqing is showing signs of pregnancy?”
Aunt Guo suddenly coughed violently.
She hadn’t expected Chiang Xiao to be so blunt, nor had she expected her to actually know.
“Miss Chiang, how would you know about this?”
Chiang Xiao’s age should have made her clueless about such matters.
Chiang Xiao remained composed, “It’s nothing, I’ve seen a lot of it in the countryside. Whenever those sister-in-laws and aunts start throwing up, the elders get happy, saying there’s no need to see a doctor because it’s just pregnancy.”
So that was it.
Perhaps people in the countryside are just more straightforward.
Now, not only did Aunt Guo believe her, but ng Xinian also suddenly realized.
In the countryside, the gossiping aunties and old won could speak more crudely than n, let alone discuss pregnancies.
But if Aunt Guo was bringing this up, did it an that Duan Qingqing was indeed pregnant?
Chiang Xiao glanced at ng Xinian and caught a hint of difficulty in Aunt Guo’s deanor, imdiately asking again, “Is there sothing not right?”
“This… I’m not sure if I should say it.”
“Go on,” ng Xinian said indifferently.
Aunt Guo felt that by revealing this, they might view her as an unethical gossip, but considering the gravity of the situation and her affection for ng Xinian, whom she had always treated like her own child, she worried he might be hard and finally decided to speak up.
“It was like this, so days ago, while I was preparing supper for the elder sir, I overheard the chief arguing with his wife.”
Though she had decided to speak, talking about such matters still made Aunt Guo hesitant. Facing ng Xinian, a grown man, she found it particularly hard to say, and ended up pulling Chiang Xiao aside.
“Miss Chiang, I’d rather just tell you, and then you can discuss it with Young Master ng!”
ng Xinian: “…”
Watching Aunt Guo pull Chiang Xiao to a corner of the courtyard, he shook his head and went upstairs with Chiang Xiao’s luggage first.
After a while, Chiang Xiao ca upstairs.
ng Xinian had quickly showered and changed into clean clothes, exuding a fresh soapy scent mixed with his own fragrance, which was extrely pleasant.
ng Xinian could beco infatuated with Chiang Xiao’s delicate scent, and indeed, Chiang Xiao loved the clean and fresh sll on him.
She walked up to him, staring at him.
Noticing her peculiar expression, ng Xinian raised an eyebrow, “What exactly is it that makes Aunt Guo so hesitant to speak?”
Chiang Xiao initially couldn’t figure out what Aunt Guo wanted to say, but after hearing it, she finally understood why Aunt Guo couldn’t say it in front of ng Xinian.
“Aunt Guo said that night she heard your father arguing with Duan Qingqing. It seed like Duan Qingqing wanted to do that sothing, and your father didn’t want to, and Duan Qingqing ended up crying…”
Wanted to do that sothing?
Didn’t want to do that sothing?
ng Xinian was initially perplexed, “What?”
Ah, n of this era are still very naive indeed.
She bit her lower lip and then vaguely repeated, “You know, that thing.”
It was only then that ng Xinian understood, feeling as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped on him.
Once he grasped it, his intellect kicked into gear, and he imdiately pinpointed the crux of the matter, “That woman wants to have the baby herself?”
