Chapter 127: Are you pregnant?
Xia Lin followed her gaze, squinting slightly before realization dawned on her face. "Oh, that’s someone from the Jiang Manor. One of their maids, I think.
Her name is Mei Rong. I remember seeing her once when we passed through the marketplace last year. She was running errands for Jiang Lei’s household."
Hua Jing hummed thoughtfully, tilting her head. "A maid from Jiang Manor, standing here, looking like she’s ready to either cry or run straight into that hall? What do you think she’s here for?"
Xia Lin pressed her lips together. "It could be nothing. But, knowing how Jiang Lei operates..." She trailed off meaningfully.
Hua Jing let out a laugh, the sound light and almost playful, but her eyes gleamed with something far more dangerous. "Oh, Xia Lin, Xia Lin... You should know by now that it’s never nothing when it comes to men like Jiang Lei."
Xia Lin huffed. "I do know. And that’s exactly why I want to drag you away from this before you get any ideas!"
Hua Jing gasped in mock offense. "Get any ideas? Xia Lin, you wound me! Do I look like the kind of person who meddles in other people’s affairs?"
Xia Lin gave her a flat look. "Yes."
Hua Jing grinned. "Fine, fair. But in my defense, I only meddle when it’s interesting."
Xia Lin sighed, already knowing there was no stopping her mistress when she was in this mood. "So what are we doing?"
Hua Jing straightened her sleeves and adjusted the jade hairpin in her hair. "Oh, nothing much. I just want to have a little chat."
