"Where have you been?" Old Mrs. Qiao asked.

Qiao Yaozu answered vaguely, "I went for a walk with Qingqing."

"Where did you have a walk?" Old Mrs. Qiao felt something was wrong.

Qiao Yaozu didn't respond.

The expression on his face changed again and again as if he was hesitating. After a long while, he looked straight at Old Mrs. Qiao and said, "Grandma, please let Xiaoru come back."

Old Mrs. Qiao raised her voice. "Yaozu, what are you talking about?"

"Please allow Xiaoru to go back to Qiao Palace. She is very pitiful outside alone."

Old Mrs. Qiao was confused.

Bai Xiaoru had been gone for such a long time, but his grandson had never said anything about it. Why did he mention this woman today?

When he mentioned that woman, Old Mrs. Qiao was unhappy.

She pulled a long face and said, "Yaozu, why did you suddenly mention that bitch? She is not a good woman. Don't mention her in front of me again!"

Qiao Yaozu added, "Grandma, Xiaoru is not a bitch. Bitches will treat me badly, but she is nice to me."

Old Mrs. Qiao was lost for words.

She was amused by her silly grandson.

She waved her hand and said, "No matter what kind of woman she is, I won't let her go back to Qiao Palace. Yaozu, go to bed now."

Old Mrs. Qiao was confused, so she planned to ask Liu Qingqing what had happened.

Qiao Yaozu wanted to say something more but was frightened by the glare from Old Mrs. Qiao.

He always respected and feared her.

He had no choice but to walk towards his room. While walking, he muttered, "Xiaoru is a good girl. She is not a bitch."

Old Mrs. Qiao was about to lose her temper when she heard Qiao Yaozu's first sentence, but soon, her anger turned into helplessness.

After the fool was out of sight, she looked at Liu Qingqing.

Before she made a sound, Liu Qingqing ran to her side with a worried look on her face and said, "Old Mrs. Qiao, I have something to tell you."

"After we celebrated Mr. Qiao's birthday last night, I drank too much and went up to the rooftop to get some fresh air. However, I saw him, too. He looked upset."

"I thought weird. It was his birthday, so he should be in high spirits. How could he look so unhappy? I asked him, and he told me about a woman called Bai Xiaoru. He said that he missed her very much."

"I've heard about Bai Xiaoru from the servants before. I knew something about her, so I tried to persuade him not to miss that woman, but he didn't listen to me at all. I also heard from the servants that during this period of time, he wandered around in Qiao Palace every day without sleeping. I think it might have something to do with that woman."

"I was going to tell you about you, but I thought it would be bad for your health if you got angry. I didn't dare to tell Sister Liyuan either because I was afraid that she would be angry if she knew it."

"I've thought about it for a long time, so I decided to go to Bai Xiaoru to see if I can untie the knot in Mr. Qiao's heart. After all, I'm going to get married, and Yaozu will be my brother-in-law. I'm very anxious if he is not pleased."

Although Old Mrs. Qiao still didn't know what had happened, she felt comfortable when she heard Liu Qingqing's words.

She was too old, and Qiao Yaozu was a fool. She had always worried that Qiao Shaoting's wife would bully Qiao Yaozu in the future. Now, Liu Qingqing was going to marry her grandson. She didn't need to worry about it anymore.

This woman was kind-hearted.

"Old Mrs. Qiao, I went to Bai Xiaoru without your permission today. I am sorry. Do you know what I found?" Liu Qingqing paused on purpose.

Old Mrs. Qiao's heart skipped a beat.

She asked, "Qingqing, what did you find?"

Liu Qingqing whispered in her ear, "I found that Bai Xiaoru was pregnant. Her belly is so big."

Old Mrs. Qiao was stunned.

As far as she could remember, Bai Xiaoru was a thin and weak girl. How could she get pregnant so soon?

"Old Mrs. Qiao, I think that the reason why Yaozu is so obsessed with Bai Xiaoru must be that he likes her. Now that she is pregnant, he will definitely give up on her. So tonight, I took him to see Xiaoru. I just wanted to let him get over that woman completely and have a happy wife with Sister Liyuan. However, I didn't expect that you would see us."

"I didn't intend to tell you about it, but it seems that I can't keep it a secret." Liu Qingqing sighed. "I wonder if Qiao Yaozu will give up his feelings for that woman this time."

Old Mrs. Qiao was still thinking about the pregnancy of Bai Xiaoru, so she said nothing.

Liu Qingqing continued, "But judging from Bai Xiaoru's belly, she must be pregnant as soon as she left Qiao Palace. It meant that she was together with another man after leaving here. How poor Yaozu is! He still falls in love with her."

A thought flashed in Old Mrs. Qiao's mind.

Liu Qingqing's words made her feel something wrong. Now she finally figured it out.

The reason why Bai Xiaoru was driven out of Qiao Palace was that she had sex with Qiao Yaozu.

But now, she was pregnant.

Old Mrs. Qiao raised her voice and asked, "Qingqing, how long has she been pregnant?"

Liu Qingqing gave her an answer. Then she added, "But this is just my guess."

Old Mrs. Qiao breathed heavily.

What a coincidence!

"Qingqing, take me to Bai Xiaoru right now!" said Old Mrs. Qiao.

The child of the Qiao family couldn't be neglected. Even if it was just a possibility, she had to verify it.

Qiao Yaozu and Fang Liyuan had been married for many years, but they did not have a baby. She had long wanted Qiao Yaozu to have a child.

Bai Xiaoru sat on the bed.

She looked at the fruits on the small table in front of her.

Liu Qingqing brought them to her. They were all expensive fruits, but Bai Xiaoru didn't eat any of them.

She felt something was wrong.

Liu Qingqing's sudden appearance made her suspicious.

But she couldn't figure out what was wrong.

After all, it was unnecessary for Liu Qingqing to do that.

She didn't know Liu Qingqing before, and what she did wouldn't do any good to her. What did she want?

Bai Xiaoru lay on the bed.

Maybe she thought too much.

Perhaps it was because she was too sensitive during pregnancy, or perhaps Liu Qingqing was really nice to Mr. Qiao.

Besides, Mr. Qiao had always told her that Liu Qingqing was a nice woman. Presumably, she had a prejudice against Liu Qingqing.

Just as Bai Xiaoru was about to close her eyes and go to sleep, there was a knock on the door.

She stood up.

Who was knocking at the door? It was so late at night.

When she opened the door and saw the visitor, she was stunned.

She had never expected that there would be accidents one after another today.

It was Old Mrs. Qiao!
