Even though Lin Yanyu had prepared herself mentally and knew that Li Yanqi would explain Lin Yanxia's matter in the evening, she was still shocked by his straightforwardness.

Li Yanqi had a calm expression as he poured four cups of lotus flower tea and placed them in front of each person.

"It's time to rest, Dad, Mom, have a cup of lotus flower tea to calm your nerves and help you sleep."

He remained calm, tapping his fingers on the table, watching the old couple happily drink their tea.

"Dad, Mom, I was delayed in coming back this time because of Lin Yong's matter. There is something I haven't had time to explain to you."

Before the two of them could react, he continued, “Actually… this time we brought Lin Yanxia back with us.”

The smile on Mr. Lin's face froze for a moment. Mother Lin stood up suddenly and asked in surprise, "Xia Xia is back too? Where is she?"

Her sleeve accidentally knocked over the teacup, which rolled twice on the eight-immortals table and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Everyone's eyes fell on the broken porcelain pieces. Mother Lin reacted and stopped Li Yanqi who was about to stand up, saying, "Look at me, I'm so old, but I'm still clumsy."

She walked to the door, picked up a broom, and swept up the broken porcelain pieces, feeling resentful.

"That unfilial daughter is back. Why didn't she come to see me and her father? Does she know now that what she did was not worthy of public display? It's because she is my daughter. If it were someone else, I wouldn't bother to care about her."

"Forget it. It's all injustice after all. Maybe I owed her in my past life. She came back this time. Maybe life over there is not easy. I told her a long time ago, but she just didn't listen. Forget it. It's pointless to talk about it now."

After cleaning, Lin's mother sat back at the table, looking at her son-in-law with hope in her eyes.

"Yan Qi...Xia Xia is a girl, it's not good for her to be outside, please let her come home. Although her father and I are not capable, we can still give her a bowl of rice to eat."

Mr. Lin had been observing his son-in-law's expression and felt something was wrong. He turned his gaze to his daughter. His heart began to sink slowly like a ship capsized in a storm.

"Yanqi, Zhizhi, tell me the truth, where is Yanxia now?"

"In..." Li Yanqi blinked his eyelashes twice under the eager gaze of the old couple, then raised his eyes and looked upwards, "Here."

Lin Xiucai followed his line of sight and looked over there first. Mother Lin was a little confused and still asked blankly, "Where is it?"

She also followed her husband's gaze.

What caught my eye was a black wooden box, which was placed on the incense table when my daughter and son-in-law came back for the first day.

"What's inside?" Lin's mother's voice trembled a little.

She tried to stand up, but stumbled and fell back into the armchair.

The ominous premonition was confirmed. Lin Xiucai was extremely sad. Seeing that his wife was in a bad condition, he immediately stood up to support her and shouted nervously, "What's wrong with you, Mei'er?"

Lin Yanyu also stood up and quickly supported her mother. Her face was a little pale. She wanted to comfort her parents, but she didn't know where to start. She could not help but look at the man behind her for help.

The latter walked up to her, held her hand, and looked at the old couple with sad faces.

"When someone leaves, someone else will come. There is one more thing I haven't had time to tell my parents."

Mother Lin's eyes were dull, and Mr. Lin looked at him.

"Zhizhi is pregnant. In half a year... you will become grandparents. However, the doctor said..."

The two of them immediately looked at their daughter's belly. Mother Lin tightly grasped her husband's arm and asked in a trembling voice, "...What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said that Zhizhi is the first child and there are many things that need to be taken care of. We need to take good care of her. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the audacity to ask my parents to go to the state capital to take care of Zhizhi."

Lin Yanyu felt a slight force on her arm and immediately understood what was going on. Just as she was about to say a few words in agreement, her stomach suddenly tightened and she couldn't help but scream out in pain.

Li Yanqi laughed secretly, this little rabbit was really smart, he just wanted her to go along with him and say a few words, but she just went right into it.

Look how scared his father-in-law and mother-in-law are, their faces have turned pale.

The man curled his lips with a hint of a smile, lowered his head to look at her, and then the smile seemed to shatter on his face.

Lin Yanyu grabbed his sleeve, sweat dripping down her forehead. She endured the pain in her stomach and said, "Husband, my stomach hurts so much."

Li Yanqi seemed to be nailed to the ground, standing there in a daze.

It was Lin's mother who reacted first. She pushed her son-in-law hard and said, "Why are you standing there? Help Zhizhi to lie on the bed. Go and get Doctor Huang from Huichuntang."

The man was like a puppet that had just come to life. His hands and feet were not very flexible. He even staggered when he picked up the person, which scared Lin's mother so much that she screamed.

Fortunately, there was no danger and no one was hurt.

Lin's mother's scream woke Li Yanqi up. He seemed to have just woken up from a dream. His body was as fast as lightning and he sent the person to the bed in a few breaths.

"Take care of her. I'll be right back."

Lin's father and mother hurried out from the main room and only heard these words floating in the yard. There was no sign of Li Yanqi anywhere.
