Chapter 153: Plan Failed

Jiang Cheng knew this mentally unstable woman was targeting his wife, so he said a word to the Si Family's second brother, took Si Rong and the daughter-in-law of the Si Family's eldest aunt upstairs, and had them lock the door from the inside.

Sure enough, the moment he stepped downstairs, Si Nuan tried to dash upstairs.

In his desperation, Jiang Cheng stuck out his leg to trip her, and Si Nuan's head hit the stairs straight on; the Si Family finally quieted down.

To be honest, the public security officers were also in a difficult position when dealing with this kind of lunatic.

"My aunt-in-law is mentally unstable. Although it was she who put safflower juice into the food, I suspect someone is directing her from behind the scenes."

Mainly because Si Nuan wouldn't have the brains for this.

She suspected this matter had to do with Shen Chi.

"Mei Xi, don't you think so?"

Lin Meixi did not expect Si Rong to suddenly ask her this in front of the public security officers, and she immediately panicked, "Yes, yes, that should be it."

But no matter how they questioned Si Nuan, they couldn't get anything else out of her; her mouth was full of gibberish.

"You destroyed my child, so I will destroy your child too!"

"Just wait! One day, I will definitely avenge my child! I want you all to die!"

The child Si Nuan spoke of was her first child who died in infancy.

At that time, she had already severed ties with the Si Family, and when the child suddenly developed meningitis, she returned to the Si Family to ask for help, but the Si father thought she was just returning to ask for money and saw her half a day late, causing the child to be lost due to the delay.

The Si father had always blamed himself for this.

Si Nuan, however, blamed everything on her brother, as well as Si Ying, who at the time also thought Si Nuan had come to borrow money for her gambling-addicted husband.

Aside from these words, nothing else came out of Si Nuan's mouth, and there was no evidence pointing directly at Lin Meixi and her daughter regarding the food poisoning this time.

Therefore, Lin Meixi luckily escaped disaster.

After the public security officers took Si Nuan away, Lin Meixi and her daughter had no face to stay for a meal and left in a dejected manner.

Shen Chi waited at home, looking as if he had everything under control.

"Son, will Si Rong really miscarry this time?" Li Xuan had also overheard him discussing it with his sister by chance.

Hearing Shen Chi's plan, Li Xuan felt extremely proud.

He was worthy of being her son; at such a young age, he could actually think of such a thorough plan. In this way, even if the matter were exposed, no one would believe the words of that crazy woman, Si Nuan.

"Mm, nine times out of ten."

Shen Chi felt there wouldn't be any slip-ups. First, Si Rong wouldn't be on guard against food from her maiden home; second, that crazy woman was, after all, Si Rong's aunt-in-law, so it was convenient for her to act.

"What if we are just that unlucky and it's the one-in-ten chance?" Shen Yuan asked as she came out of the room.

Now that she had experienced many things, her temperament had changed drastically, and she had become much more pessimistic.

"Stop being a harbinger of doom!" Li Xuan scolded impatiently. Ever since her daughter told Shen Lan to go catch the adulterers last time, Li Xuan had found this daughter an eyesore.

She felt this daughter was simply a jinx to her.

"There is that possibility, after all," Shen Yuan pouted.

"There isn't!" Shen Chi denied it flatly.

Then the door opened, and Lin Meixi pushed it open and entered, "Something terrible, the plan failed."

Shen Chi:...

Hearing about what happened at the Si Family today, the group was stunned.

"How can you be so stupid?"

Shen Chi couldn't help but blame Lin Meixi, "I had already planned it so perfectly, how could it go wrong?"

"I really don't know," Lin Meixi stammered in her own defense, "I followed exactly what you taught me to say to her, I just don't know why the Si Family suddenly wanted to check the food."

"Did someone hear you when you were talking to Si Nuan?"

Shen Chi hesitated for a moment and asked her.

Lin Meixi shook her head, "That shouldn't be, there was no one in the garden at the time, and we were speaking in very low voices."

She was made to feel self-doubt by Shen Chi's questioning, but in order to avoid taking the blame from Shen Chi, she could only grit her teeth and insist on saying so.

"I told you so!" Shen Yuan snorted with some regret, "That child in Si Rong's belly really has a tough life."

A much tougher life than the child in her own belly.

Shen Chi leaned back on the sofa, feeling somewhat distressed; missing this opportunity, he estimated they might not find another one.

From now on, Si Rong would only be more careful.

Was he just going to let Si Rong's child be born like this?

He had to think of another way as soon as possible.

Si Rong was indeed more careful.

She even began to become suspicious of everything; except for the food watched over by Wang Ma at home, she would not eat anything else.

After some time passed like this, the child in Si Rong's womb was already over five months along.

Carrying twins was not easy, and her belly was a size larger than that of an ordinary five-month-pregnant woman.

That evening, Si Rong lay on the bed, and Jiang Cheng was reading a fairy tale book on the side.

The atmosphere was peaceful and serene, with only the occasional bark of a dog coming from next door.

That was the dog Fang Ting had given to Jiang Dacheng; Jiang Dacheng liked it very much, and the first thing he did after getting off work every day was to walk the dog.

Suddenly, Si Rong felt her belly move.

Her belly hurt a little, and she patted Jiang Cheng's arm.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Cheng became nervous immediately, "Is it time to give birth?"

Hu Qian had taught him some knowledge about taking care of pregnant women, as well as certain symptoms before a pregnant woman gives birth, telling him to pay more attention.

Si Rong:...

Si Rong shot Jiang Cheng a playful glare, "No, look at my belly."

Si Rong lifted her clothes, revealing her fair belly.

The flat belly was suddenly pushed up at one corner, looking quite amazing.

After a while, the other side was pushed up as well.

"Are they playing inside my belly?"

Si Rong was overflowing with maternal love and said softly, "Babies, hello, I am your mother."

"I am your father."

Jiang Cheng hurriedly followed up, "Don't kick Mommy's belly, she is afraid of pain."

As his words fell, a bump bulged on Si Rong's belly once again.

The little babies inside seemed to be deliberately going against their father.

"If you dare to disobey, Daddy will spank you!" Jiang Cheng threatened.

Si Rong:...

She directed Jiang Cheng, "Go get me some oranges to eat."

Soon Jiang Cheng brought the oranges, and Si Rong tasted one; it was sour.

She managed to swallow it, then handed a piece to Jiang Cheng's lips, "Try it, it's so sweet!"

"Is it?" Jiang Cheng took the orange from her fingertips, so sour he didn't even want to open his eyes.

Seeing him fall for it, Si Rong laughed heartily.

Jiang Cheng sighed as she wished, "So sour, so sour."

"Who told you to be so silly, falling for it every time!"

Jiang Cheng smiled dotingly without a word, taking a tissue to wipe the orange juice from the corner of her mouth.

In fact, work at the military unit had been very busy during this period, and Jiang Cheng had already discussed with Director Chen to finish all the overtime he could in advance before his wife gave birth, just waiting to accompany her properly when she went into labor.

The children belonged to both of them, and he could not let his wife face it alone.

After coaxing Si Rong to sleep, Jiang Cheng quietly went downstairs to work overtime at the military unit.

In order not to wake Si Rong, he rode his bicycle.

As a result, not long after leaving the Family Quarters, someone suddenly darted from the shadows in front of his bicycle.
