Chapter 932: Chapter 930: Because She Went to Bamboo Leaf Pass

On the bed, Wu Jinyan woke up with a scream, instinctively protecting her stomach tightly.

“Sister-in-law, the child is fine, don’t worry!”

Su Yingxue held her hand tightly, comforting her. She could feel Wu Jinyan’s fear and trembling at this moment.

After enduring such an ordeal, and with this sudden child…

“Yingxue…”

Wu Jinyan’s eyes were brimming with tears.

Su Yingxue urged her to eat first and then decide whether or not to tell her about the child and where she had been.

Wu Jinyan had been depressed because she couldn’t find an effective method and someone to confide in.

Telling Su Han and Su Miaoyan would only add to their troubles.

Now that Su Yingxue was back, she told her, “It happened at Bamboo Leaf Pass, while I was looking for your brother.”

“What? You went to Bamboo Leaf Pass?” Su Yingxue’s eyes widened, this was something she had never expected!

The journey to and from Bamboo Leaf Pass from Jiang Du City took half a month even for her alone, and a woman could encounter countless dangers on the road!

Yet she dared to go.

Su Yingxue took a deep breath, “Sister-in-law, I don’t blame you. You were indeed missing brother so much that you did so, but you… even if you wanted to go, you should have told me, or asked cousin sister to send someone to protect you!”

If she had been protected, such a thing would never have happened.

“Right before your grand wedding, the entire Marquis’s Manor was very busy. I didn’t want to burden you with worries before your marriage, and moreover… this was a matter between your brother and me, something we needed to face and resolve ourselves.” Wu Jinyan’s tone now allowed Su Yingxue to imagine how determined she must have been at the time.

Perhaps even if she had anticipated what might happen to her, she wouldn’t have stayed in Jiang Du City.

“Sister-in-law, what exactly happened between you and brother, did you see him at Bamboo Leaf Pass?”

This was what Su Yingxue cared about the most!

Su Hao’s emotional breakdown and his entrapment by the enemy must be related to what happened at Bamboo Leaf Pass.

Wu Jinyan looked down, forcefully wiping away the tears on her face, making it seem as if her heart was riddled with holes.

With a choked voice, she said, “When your brother first went to Bamboo Leaf Pass, he often wrote letters back to me, but then the letters gradually became less frequent, and even on the paper, there were scents of hibiscus flowers. Managing Thousand-Jiao Pavilion, I’m more than familiar with various fragrances; that’s a scent used by women. I suspected that he might have become close to a girl at Bamboo Leaf Pass.

Once a woman has suspicions, it’s hard not to verify them. After a month without letters from him, I made up my mind to find him. On my way to Bamboo Leaf Pass, though I encountered some difficulties, I eventually arrived safely. The Miss Lu who received me was very polite, but I waited a whole day without seeing your brother. He used the busyness of military affairs as an excuse, asking me to wait for him until evening at the General Manor.

I knew I wouldn’t see him that night, but I was not going to give up. I planned to stay in an inn for the night and wait for him the next day. Unexpectedly, on the way, I encountered a drunken man who… he…”

That night was a nightmare Wu Jinyan would never be able to forget in her life.

She suffered terribly, and as she struggled to get away, she didn’t even see the man’s face clearly; she just thought of escaping!

Afterward, she no longer had the courage to see Su Hao. She walked towards Jiang Du City like a bewildered puppet.

By the time she reached Jiang Du City, she discovered she was pregnant.
