florist.

Hua Tingjin and Qin Yingying had roughly guessed the ins and outs of the matter through questioning.

Qin Yingying frowned, "So... Xiaojue's girlfriend is pregnant? Could it be Wangshu? They..." She didn't say the rest.

Because if it was really Jiang Wangshu, it meant that they were pregnant before marriage, which was not allowed in the Hua family with its strict rules and complicated etiquette.

Hua Tingjin was very distressed by this. He sighed helplessly, "With my mother's temper, Jue will definitely be punished this time, but... he really shouldn't have done that!"

As the two were talking, Butler Yu came running over and said, "Second Young Master, Madam has asked everyone to take a day off."

"What?!" the couple was shocked.

They looked at each other and knew that something was wrong.

Hua Tingjin remained calm, "Uncle Yu, what else did my mother say?" After getting angry, Mu Xiuzhi refused to see anyone, including Hua Tingjin and the others, so they had no way of knowing and could only ask Butler Yu.

Butler Yu told the truth: "Madam asked you and the Second Young Master's wife to go to the meeting hall."

Hua Tingjin nodded cautiously and gently, "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Uncle Yu, for arranging everything for us."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

After Butler Yu left, Hua Tingjin and Qin Yingying also walked towards the study.

……

Hua Tingjue was "escorted" back to the Hua family by Lin Shuanglian and many bodyguards. When he first stepped into the courtyard, the leaves were rustling, and the huge Hua family was empty, and the servants who were usually busy were gone.

Suddenly, an inexplicable strange feeling made Hua Tingjue want to retreat. He wanted to take a step back, but was stopped by Lin Shuanglian.

She said indifferently: "Third Master, the Madam is waiting for you."

Having his thoughts seen through, Hua Tingjue coughed twice to ease the embarrassment and said with all his might: "I... I know!"

Mu Xiuzhi had sent away all the servants in advance, and now there were only her and Hua Tingjin and his wife in the spacious and empty hall.

The heavy snow outside the window contrasted with the traditional and solemn mahogany furnishings in the house. Hua Tingjin and Qin Yingying sat on the pearwood chairs in the lower seats. Mu Xiuzhi sat quietly on the main seat with her eyes closed. The coiled dragon carved on the chair was faintly restless, majestic without anger, and a sense of oppression came over her. The air seemed to be permeated with the words "suppressive rules".

She immediately opened her eyes and commanded indifferently, "Go and see if Hua Tingjue is here?"

"Okay." Hua Tingjin stood up.

Just as he walked to the door, he happened to meet Hua Tingjue.

Hua Tingjue seemed to have found a life-saving straw, "Second brother, what's going on?"

Hua Tingjin secretly shook his head and whispered: "Ajue, admit your mistakes honestly later, and don't quibble and provoke Mom's bottom line."

"Ah?" Hua Tingjue was stunned. The more he spoke, the more confused he became.

Entering the hall, Hua Tingjin said to Mu Xiuzhi: "Mom, Ajue is here."

Mu Xiuzhi's perfectly drawn red lips were tight, and her phoenix eyes slightly raised, "Hmm."

The terrifying and unknown aura made Hua Tingjue weakly shout: "Mom...what's wrong? What a big scene today? I just went out to play for a few days, didn't I? It shouldn't be so exaggerated, right?"

At this point, seeing that he was still smiling as usual, Mu Xiuzhi did not answer him but ordered coldly, "Kneel down."

??? Hua Tingjue was confused.

Look at his mother, then look at his second brother.

Hua Tingjin nodded, signaling him to be obedient with his eyes.

"Mom? You're not wrong, are you? Why are you kneeling again?" At this moment he tried to awaken Mu Xiuzhi's maternal love.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Xiuzhi flew into a rage, her voice as loud as a bell, with great deterrence, "I told you to kneel down, don't you understand?"

"Did the Hua family teach you to get someone pregnant before marriage?"

Hearing this, Hua Tingjue's eyes widened in horror, his whole body stiffened, and his legs felt like they were filled with lead. He slowly raised his head to look at Mu Xiuzhi who was sitting firmly in the main seat, his heart beating like the dense beats of drums.

……

On the other side, Jiang Wangshu noticed that Hua Tingjue had not returned yet, so she called him suspiciously, but no one answered.

The only response she got was a "beep, beep, beep" sound.

"Why did you take so long? Did something happen?"

She rarely had a bad premonition, but it was always accurate. Jiang Wangshu immediately contacted Yu Dong, "Can you check where Hua Tingjue is? He went out two hours ago and hasn't come back yet."

"Okay, boss."

At the same time, Jiang Wangshu took out her computer and hacked into the surveillance system. There were not many surveillance cameras in the surrounding area and the pixels were not high. She played the video in slow motion almost frame by frame, squinting her eyes to look for familiar figures.

Finally, Hua Tingjue was found in a flower shop opposite a large supermarket nearby. He took the flowers when he left the shop and planned to return the same way.

But there was no monitoring after that.

Where on earth did he go?

At this time, the phone rang. It was Yu Dong calling.

Jiang Wangshu answered the phone without hesitation, "Hello, have you found the person?"

Yu Dong: “Yes, I found it.”

Jiang Wangshu asked anxiously: "Where is it?"

But Yu Dong answered the question irrelevantly, "Boss, someone is checking your pregnancy."

"Who?" Jiang Wangshu's alarm bells rang instantly. She hesitated for only three seconds before reacting quickly. "It's the Hua family? Right?"

"Well, Mu Xiuzhi has found out about your pregnancy."

"So... Hua Tingjue's disappearance is also related to the Hua family?" Jiang Wangshu suddenly realized.

"Yes, he was kidnapped back by the Hua family."

"I see."

Jiang Wangshu slowly hung up the phone and looked at the baby crib beside her. Her eyes gradually lost their luster and she didn't know what she was thinking.

She was awakened by the sudden strong wind outside the window.

In her previous life, she also went to the Hua family on an ordinary rainy day with her daughter in her arms. But now it is different. At that time, she only wanted a lot of money and didn't care about the life and death of Hua Yu and Hua Tingjue. But now her mood has changed.

Immediately, she put on her coat and went out in the wind and snow.

Hua Tingjue was speechless by this question. He wanted to explain, "Mom... I, we..."

He hesitated, and Mu Xiuzhi didn't have the patience to listen to his explanation. She asked coldly, "You just need to answer yes or no?"

"Ah."

Mu Xiuzhi sneered, "Oh, Hua Tingjue, don't you have any sense of shame? Or have you learned nothing from your upbringing?"

"Pregnant before marriage? How dare you?"

"Did I stop you from being together? Or did I force you into marriage? You want to use such an unsightly scandal to tarnish the reputation of the Hua family!"

Every word was like a sharp short blade stabbing Hua Tingjue's heart. At this moment, he felt like he had eaten Coptis chinensis. The thick bitterness in his mouth could not be dissolved and he was speechless.

But he still tried to explain to Mu Xiuzhi: "Mom, this is all unintentional. We did have a child before the legal age for marriage registration, but this is the result of our careful consideration. We will get the marriage registration!"

"mom!"

He spoke earnestly and every word was sincere.

But in Mu Xiuzhi's opinion, this was just his excuse. She exhaled, then stared at him with deep eyes and an unfathomable expression and asked, "Do you know the significance of the Yuhua family this year?"
