Chapter 1201: The Relationship Is Truly Terrible

Upon hearing these words, the expressions of the three young people in the room varied!

Liu Xin'ai naturally did not want this at all.

Her small hand could not help but clutch the corner of her clothes tightly, her heart considering how to decline Chi Rong's kindness.

But Qin Yiyan felt that...

This suggestion was not bad!

With Mother there, Liu Xin'ai would certainly receive the best care.

Moreover, Liu Xin'ai would also be able to chat with Mother often.

It would prevent such a young person from always being so listless.

Considering this, Qin Yiyan was about to express his opinion.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Bai Yufei hurriedly spoke up to divert the topic: "Mom, didn't you have something to ask Brother?"

Reminded, Chi Rong nodded repeatedly.

Afterwards, she even asked: "With such an important matter as Xin'ai being pregnant, why didn't anyone tell me?"

Qin Yiyan had already thought of an answer.

He said unhurriedly: "Because your blood pressure was unstable a while ago; although Xin'ai's pregnancy is a joyous occasion, excessive emotional fluctuations would have been bad for your health."

"Oh, so that really was the reason."

"But it's not too late to know about the happy news now."

"That's true."

Chi Rong quickly adjusted her mood and said joyfully: "Our family hasn't welcomed a new little life in many years; this is truly a great joy! Time flies, and now we must start preparing the things needed for the baby!"

The things Chi Rong was arranging were completely outside of Liu Xin'ai's plans.

As she listened, a dazed expression could not help but hang on her face.

Chi Rong only assumed that Liu Xin'ai lacked experience and did not know how to get started.

To prevent Liu Xin'ai from panicking, Chi Rong held her hand and comforted her: "You don't need to worry; I will handle these matters. You just focus on resting and nourishing the fetus; we are here for everything!"

The elder before her was full of smiles.

Liu Xin'ai could see from her eyes that she was truly happy.

However...

Liu Xin'ai was destined not to leave this child to the Qin Family!

Her heart was resolute.

But toward Chi Rong, she felt guilty.

At this moment, all she could do was lower her eyes and pretend to be shy.

Yet Qin Yiyan, who was beside her, was in a different state of mind.

Ever since he learned that Liu Xin'ai was pregnant, the relationship between Qin Yiyan and Liu Xin'ai had been very tense.

When the two of them met, they could not even speak properly.

What it felt like to be a father...

Qin Yiyan had not yet carefully savored it.

But now...

Qin Yiyan finally felt the joy!

His heart also held more hope for the future.

But this hope of his was not what Bai Yufei wanted to see!

Seeing the atmosphere in the room becoming better and better, Bai Yufei took the initiative to take Chi Rong's arm.

She also said: "Sister-in-law's body gets tired easily; let Sister-in-law rest for a while, and let me keep you company instead."

"But..."

Bai Yufei leaned into Chi Rong's ear, lowered her voice, and said: "You should let Sister-in-law and Brother have a word; with us here, they can't be themselves."

Chi Rong thought about it and felt that her daughter's consideration made sense.

So, using the excuse of going out to get some air, she went to the garden with Bai Yufei.

Walking on the path, Chi Rong was full of smiles, letting anyone who saw her know that she was in a very good mood at that moment.

But Bai Yufei was in a very bad mood.

As long as Liu Xin'ai and Qin Yiyan stood together, she was unhappy!

However...

Thinking of what was about to happen, the corners of Bai Yufei's mouth could not help but curl up!

Under Bai Yufei's deliberate guidance, the two slowly walked behind a rockery.

There, two young servants were chatting.

As they chatted, the younger maid asked cautiously: "Sister Chen, I see that the relationship between Madam and Sir is a bit strange, don't you think?"

"

Upon hearing this, Sister Chen immediately straightened her face and warned: "You can't say things like that; be careful or you'll lose your job!"

"Oh, I'm just curious."

"You came here to earn money; have less curiosity so you can work here for a long time!"

"But what if I don't know anything and accidentally step on a landmine? Good sister, just reveal a little bit, at least let me know what the taboos of this house are."

"Good sister, just reveal a little bit; at the very least, let me know what the taboos of this family are."

"The relationship between Madam and Sir is a taboo; don't even talk about it!"

"

Seeing that Sister Chen was not to be swayed, the young maid began to mutter to herself:

"If their relationship were good, Sister wouldn't be so cautious, but to say it's bad... Sir takes such good care of Madam, yet Madam is cold toward Sir; it's a bit ungrateful!"

Seeing the person going further and further, Sister Chen couldn't help but scold: "I told you to talk less, why are you still talking!"

"There's no one else here, so what's the harm in saying a few words! Later, I'll share my imported chocolate with you!"

Sister Chen remained unmoved.

Seeing this, the young maid sighed heavily: "My aunt specifically asked Sister Chen to look after me, so why won't you even tell me a little bit of the inside story?"

Sister Chen seemed to have some friendship with the maid's aunt.

Hearing the other party say this, she looked troubled and said: "What exactly is it that you want to know?"

"Just tell me, what is actually going on with Madam and Sir!"

"Sigh, what else could be going on? You'll know in time; Madam and Sir's relationship isn't very good, and they often quarrel."

The maid covered her lips with her hand: "Quarrel?! Before I came here, I heard that Sir and Madam were as harmonious as a zither and lute, and that people envied them!"

"That's all a facade; they pretend to be very loving in front of outsiders, but in reality, they are constantly arguing."

"Is that so? Then they are very good at acting."

"Isn't it like that in every wealthy family? Who can have a real relationship with anyone?"

"

The young maid looked up and sighed mournfully: "It's over, my fantasies about wealthy families have been shattered!"

"What's there to be shattered about? This has nothing to do with you in the first place."

"Then does it have anything to do with me?!"

Suddenly, a stern voice appeared behind the two of them.

It startled the two of them, making their shoulders shake!

Chi Rong, supported by Bai Yufei, walked out slowly.

At this moment, her expression was extremely stern.

Standing steady in front of the maids, she commanded sharply: "Tell me everything you know, word for word, right now!"

"Old Madam..."

"Speak!"

The young maid was scared to tears on the spot.

Sister Chen was also filled with fear and unease.

Panic filled their hearts, yet they dared not say a single word.

When Chi Rong didn't receive an answer, she ordered Bai Yufei beside her:

"If they won't speak, you tell me!"

Bai Yufei hurriedly shook her head.

She even pleaded: "Mother, please don't make it difficult for me. Brother has already warned me before that if I let you know about this, he will send me back home!"

Bai Yufei's move was very clever.

Not only did she reveal in advance the fact that she was going to be sent home.

She also twisted the facts and blurred the truth.

In this way, even if she were truly sent home in the future, Bai Yufei could still feign innocence.

However, Chi Rong did not care about the matter of going home or not at this moment.

Instead...

Bai Yufei actually hadn't denied the servant's words!

Didn't that mean...

Chi Rong was unwilling to admit the hypothesis in her heart.

She took a deep breath, then asked with feigned composure: "So, the relationship between your brother and sister-in-law... is it really that bad?"
