Chapter 49 - 048 Are You a New Bride Too?
——————-
"Mum, what’s happened?"
Xie Jingchen had just sent back the furthest table and chair when he saw his younger sister and four younger siblings standing outside the kitchen, all looking stunned. His younger sister appeared particularly anxious, while the four younger siblings seemed to be clutching their bellies and watching the commotion as if it were a joke, which displeased him.
Striding past them, he saw his mother protecting his young wife, pointing at the fifth younger sister and berating her furiously:
"You lazy good-for-nothing, troublemaker, and home-wrecker, you still have the face to mock Ni for not being pure? She is far more decent than you, having entered the Old Xie Family as a spotless bride, unlike some shameless person who sneaked in pregnant!"
Hearing this, Xie Jingchen’s face turned as black as ink. After calling out to his mother, he looked at his young wife who was lowering her head, not knowing what to do, and then glared at the fifth younger sister trembling in fear. A flash of anger passed through his eyes. He took several deep breaths to calm himself before sternly saying to Mrs. Xie with a grim face:
"Mother, let the fifth brother handle this. I will take Ni back to our bridal room first."
"Eh... go ahead!"
Zhou Xiuhua didn’t expect her third son to come back so soon, nor did she expect him to overhear her rants, which made her feel embarrassed and humiliated. After all, she had taken a liking to Xie Jingyang’s wife initially, but only after the betrothal did she realize she had been deceived.
But this young woman was also ruthless. She directly seduced Xiao Wu into sharing a bed with her and got pregnant, forcing Zhou Xiuhua to swallow this bitter loss all by herself.
