Chapter 516: The suspicion was very accurate

Wang Zhaoning's complexion was much better by now, but her body was still very weak.

Giving birth is very damaging to a woman's vitality, so Shen Ci had brought some tonics for vitality and blood from home.

Seeing Shen Ci, Wang Zhaoning's heart instantly relaxed: "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

"I slept for six or seven hours." Shen Ci pretended not to hear the conversation in the room just now and naturally handed the items to Yan Mu: "Auntie, I brought some tonics for Sister-in-law. You can make them for her later; they are all good things."

"Oh my, girl, you are really good to Zhaoning." Yan Mu took them happily, not forgetting to praise Shen Ci: "You are also young and beautiful. Zhaoning was praising you non-stop this morning."

Shen Ci smiled and said deliberately: "Before my brother had his accident, he specifically told me to take good care of Sister-in-law. I must keep my word, otherwise, he wouldn't be at ease inside."

This sounded like an ordinary sentence at first, but upon careful analysis, one could understand that Shen Ci meant she was taking care of Wang Zhaoning because of her brother's instructions, so her relationship with Yan Wenxi was closer. This was also said deliberately for Yan Mu to hear.

Yan Mu didn't react that quickly, and it took a while before she understood.

"Then our Xizi must trust you very much, girl. Zhaoning also trusts you, which shows that you are a person worth trusting," Yan Mu said.

Shen Ci feigned modesty, but in fact, she said deliberately again: "My brother helped me a lot, so this is what I should do."

Yan Mu lowered her eyes, her eyeballs rolling around. She thought to herself that it seemed this young girl was indeed closer to Xizi.

Thinking this, she picked up two apples from the table: "Girl, Auntie will go wash an apple for you to eat."

"Auntie, you sit down, I'll go."

"Oh, it doesn't matter, don't be so polite."

"Then I'll go with you and wash these few as well, so we don't have to run back and forth when we want to eat."

"Good, the little girl is so sensible. Xizi is the same; he recognized such a good sister and didn't even know to bring her home for me to see." Yan Mu held Shen Ci's hand intimately.

Shen Ci didn't resist and gave Wang Zhaoning a look. Wang Zhaoning understood immediately that the words just now had been heard by Shen Ci, so she nodded gently.

No matter what Shen Ci wanted to do, she trusted her 100%.

Besides, in her current state, she didn't have the extra energy to deal with these things.

After leaving the ward, Yan Mu chatted warmly with Shen Ci as they walked, mostly asking about her age, whether she had graduated, and other personal situations.

It wasn't until they reached the sink that Yan Mu grabbed Shen Ci and revealed a worried expression.

Seeing this, Shen Ci showed concern and asked: "What's wrong, Auntie?"

"Sigh." Yan Mu sighed softly and looked at Shen Ci: "Girl, since you are Xizi's sister, Auntie won't treat you as an outsider. There are some things Auntie doesn't know who to tell."

"Auntie, if you want to say anything, just tell me. You are my brother's mother. Since he is not here, I am also willing to take care of you for him."

Shen Ci said it earnestly, and Yan Mu couldn't imagine how deep the city of such a young girl could be, only thinking she was sincere: "Zhaoning has given birth to the child now, but your brother's matter still has no outcome."

"I don't have any ability. Once your brother went in, the backbone of the whole family broke, and I love to let my imagination run wild."

Speaking of this, Yan Mu lowered her voice nervously: "Girl, I heard from Zhaoning that she is living in your house now, so you must see her often, right?"

Shen Ci nodded: "Yes, she is pregnant, and she doesn't want to stay in the hospital for delivery. Although Sister Lin takes care of her attentively, I basically go to see her every two days. Now that she has given birth, I am much more relieved."

"Auntie, what exactly do you want to say?" Shen Ci asked, looking at Yan Mu.

Yan Mu pursed her lips with a difficult expression before saying: "It's that I have something on my mind. I'm worried and don't know how to tell Zhaoning."

She looked up at Shen Ci: "Girl, I'm afraid Zhaoning will leave Xizi behind."

"Ah?" Shen Ci was slightly surprised and followed her words: "Auntie, are you afraid that Sister-in-law will propose a divorce while my brother is serving his sentence?"

Yan Mu nodded: "Yes, they say husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately. Although I am also willing to believe Zhaoning, how can there be any certainty in this matter?"

"And I specifically consulted a lawyer. In the situation of your brother and sister-in-law, as long as your sister-in-law files for divorce, it will definitely be granted."

Shen Ci nodded with an "I see" expression and said with equal worry: "Auntie, what you said is not impossible. Although my brother and sister-in-law are very loving, no one can guarantee that there won't be any changes in the future. Plus, my brother is serving a sentence, so this matter is really hard to say."

"Right!" Once Yan Mu heard Shen Ci echoing and agreeing with her guess, she gained spirit and continued: "And your brother is both smart and foolish. When he is smart, look, although he was caught, the company was saved, the houses and cars he bought for me were saved, and even his younger brother was saved."

"When he is foolish, look, the company and property were not handed over to the family. Zhaoning said she didn't know, but I certainly don't believe it. Your brother must have handed them over to her. Otherwise, who else could he have handed them over to? To an outsider? He wouldn't be that foolish!"

Shen Ci nodded along: "So Auntie, you are worried that Sister-in-law will divorce my brother, and my brother handed the company and some private property to Sister-in-law, so when the time comes, Sister-in-law will take everything away?"

"Right!" Yan Mu clapped her hands, revealing a worried look, but didn't forget to perform the conflicted emotion: "Reasonably speaking, your sister-in-law gave birth to a son and a daughter for your brother, which is a great achievement for our Yan family. I, as a mother-in-law, shouldn't suspect her like this. But I, as a mother, must consider your brother. He arranged it so well and saved so much property, so he must want to make a comeback when he comes out. If I didn't help him protect it, wouldn't it be my sin as a mother?"

This set of rhetoric was smooth and flowing. Shen Ci was secretly shocked that this uneducated old lady could consider and state things so logically.

It seemed her suspicion was very accurate. These words were definitely taught to the old lady by Yan Wentao.

But as for the old lady herself, Shen Ci was not in a hurry to draw a conclusion, because there were two possibilities. One was that she was in cahoots with Yan Wentao and wanted to scrape clean her brother's company property. The other was that she was brainwashed by her second son, because such little old ladies mostly had no backbone, and with only her second son left by her side, she naturally believed whatever the other party said.

But no matter which one it was, Shen Ci couldn't do anything too excessive to the old lady.

The reason was none other than that she was her brother's biological mother, so she would definitely not hurt her in the slightest.
