My newlywed husband is infertile, but I’m pregnant

"I was... pushed down."

Huo Sijiao leaned in Xie Xubai's arms and said weakly. Her mind was spinning wildly, wondering who had the motive to push her into the sea.

Did she hear the conversation between Zhao Zhenmei and Pei Zheng and know that Pei Zheng had an illegitimate child abroad?

But the people who pretended to save her in the sea didn't seem to want to kill her.

Instead, he wanted to tear off her clothes and humiliate her.

Who did that?

Huo Sijiao slightly opened her heavy eyelids and glanced at the expressions of the guests around her. She saw Zhao Yaru and Mrs. Pei with anxious looks on their faces.

Really good at pretending!

Maybe that's what they did.

However, the Huo family and the Xie family have offended many people in the imperial capital, so it cannot be completely confirmed.

After hearing what she said, Xie Xubai patted her shoulder gently and said soothingly, "Okay, I understand."

She was pushed into the sea!

How could the Xie family's bodyguards allow this to happen? They had clearly fallen into a trap.

So...it was premeditated.

Zhao Yaru stepped forward and asked worriedly, "Is Madam Xie okay? How did you fall into the sea for no reason? Did you drink too much and are a little dazed? It's all our fault for not raising the guardrail. We thought it would be fine as the cruise ship was parked at the dock. Fortunately, the rescue was timely, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Zhao Yaru said this, but she felt a little regretful in her heart.

How come Xie Xubai happened to save him?

If she fell into the hands of the Pei family's bodyguards, Huo Sijiao would be lying on the deck, exposed to the public. Let's see how she can hold her head up tomorrow, so arrogant!

"Cough cough..."

Huo Sijiao coughed a few times. The feeling of the cold sea water choking her lungs was not very pleasant.

She looked at Zhao Yaru's hypocrisy with cold eyes, which was simply like a weasel paying a New Year's greeting to a chicken.

Xie Xubai picked up Huo Sijiao and said, "Thank you for your concern. I will take her back to the room to change clothes and treat her wounds."

"Then go quickly."

Xie Xubai smiled perfunctorily, then left with Huo Sijiao in his arms.

Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou followed them and left.

Zhao Yaru looked at the guests and reminded them, "Let's go back to the banquet hall. The sea breeze on the deck is cold. If you have drunk too much, you can go back to the lounge to rest for a while. Don't go out alone like Madam Xie to sober up. It's easy to get into danger."

"Okay, thank you for your reminder."

The guests gradually dispersed.

Only Zhao Yaru and Mrs. Pei were left on the deck.

Mrs. Pei's face suddenly fell. "She was so lucky. So many people jumped into the water but no one took off her clothes. She just happened to fall into Xie Xubai's hands. Such a good opportunity was missed!"

She thought her plan was perfect and would definitely succeed.

Who could have thought that it would fail at the last moment!

"Mother-in-law, she was frightened when she fell into the water. This can be considered a small lesson." Zhao Yaru was exhausted. After carrying out the plan, she had to comfort her angry and humiliated mother-in-law.

"Hmph, she got it for free!"

Mrs. Pei walked into the banquet hall in high heels, and Zhao Yaru followed her like a maid.

Mrs. Pei looked around and asked, "Where's Ah Zheng?"

"He should be entertaining guests. Master Zhong is not here either."

The Pei family members all tacitly agreed not to disturb Pei Zheng and Zhong Lingxiao's conversation. The two were allies, and who knew what they would discuss. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had no right to interfere, or Ah Zheng would be angry.

Madam Pei warned, "Don't bother Ah Zheng, and treat those difficult guests well. Tell Ah Qian and Feng Nanxi not to be lazy and cause any trouble. Tonight's engagement party must go smoothly."

"Okay, mother-in-law."

Zhao Yaru appeared to be submissive on the surface but was complaining in her heart that all the trouble tonight was caused by her mother-in-law, while no one else was troubled.

But after all, she is the mother-in-law, so she is superior to her.

Zhao Yaru entered the banquet hall and exchanged greetings with several noble ladies. She looked around and didn't see Zhao Zhenmei, so she frowned slightly.

I felt a little uneasy.

Her sister has become a different person since she married abroad. She behaves in a dissolute manner and has chaotic relationships with men and women. Her ex-husband also got a lot of resources and connections by relying on her. This chaotic relationship ended not long ago and she returned to China.

But Pei Zheng wanted her to get close to Zhong Lingxiao.

Zhao Yaru had a bad feeling, always feeling that such a goblin might be a disaster if she stayed in the country.

Even she had to admit that Zhao Zhenmei had a kind of bewitching charm, and almost no man could escape her fishing net.

If it were her...probably not.

She stopped a waiter and asked, "Have you seen Zhao Zhenmei?"

“I haven’t met Ms. Zhao.”

Zhao Yaru looked around and finally chose to go upstairs to see Zhong Lingxiao's lounge. The sound insulation of the cruise ship lounge was not very good, and you could hear some noises as long as you listened carefully.

A woman's sixth sense told her that she must find out where Zhao Zhenmei was.

Zhao Yaru walked to the lounge on the right side of the second floor and saw Zhong Lingxiao's name on the door. So she walked over slowly with light steps.

She listened attentively and put it close to her.

I could faintly hear a woman's voice inside.

Zhao Yaru frowned and tried to distinguish. Suddenly, an ambiguous scream startled her.

She was very familiar with this sound. This was how sex between men and women sounded.

Zhao Yaru took two steps back and confirmed that there was a woman in Zhong Lingxiao's room, who should be Zhao Zhenmei.

She felt even more contempt for Zhao Zhenmei.

The sisters have been separated for so many years, and there is not much affection left. She looks down on Zhao Zhenmei's actions. If A Zheng didn't need her, she would never let Zhao Zhenmei live in Pei's house.

Because she had an indescribable fear in her heart.

But she quickly comforted herself that her husband was an honest man.

After listening to the increasingly intense noise inside for a while, Zhao Yaru turned around and left.

Zhong Lingxiao and Zhao Zhenmei are a perfect match!

Both have tumultuous private lives.

She walked downstairs holding up her skirt, and put on that gentle and beautiful smile again as she entertained the guests.

……

the other side.

In the Huo family's lounge.

Qiao Xi took the medical kit and prepared to treat the scratch on Huo Sijiao's calf. The rocks were very sharp, and blood was flowing from her leg, and it would take a while to stop.

Qiao Xi first wiped the wound and the surrounding area with alcohol cotton.

Huo Sijiao leaned in Xie Xubai's arms, her face pale and wrapped in a thick blanket.

She was in so much pain that she almost burst into tears.

"Be patient."

As Qiao Xi spoke, she found some medicine powder in the medicine box and sprinkled it on her wound, then took some gauze and tape to bandage her wound.

"We can only do simple treatment. We'll go to the hospital for a checkup after the banquet." Qiao Xi put the medicine box aside and asked, "Jiaojiao, how did you suddenly fall into the water?"
