After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1254 - 1253: The Ling County Affair

Aunt Xia’s tone carried so guilt, so regret, and so other emotion.

That only made Xia Chuyi even more puzzled, and at the sa ti, a bit worried.

"Sothing happened?" Xia Chu imdiately asked Aunt Xia, "Auntie, what on earth happened?"

What kind of situation could make both Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia sound so abnormal?

Hearing Xia Chuyi’s question, Aunt Xia let out a breath and said directly, "Isn’t it all because of that Xia Lianlian..."

"Xia Lianlian?" This answer was completely outside of Xia Chuyi’s expectations.

"Xia Lianlian, she..." Xia Chu said, "Wasn’t she locked... up?"

After all, Xia Lianlian was a blood relative of Uncle Xia, so Xia Chuyi didn’t directly say the four words "ntal hospital."

Back then, after Xia Lianlian used Mother Xia to drug Xia Chuyi, she was imdiately thrown into a ntal hospital.

The reason they put her in a ntal hospital was, first, because nothing had actually happened to Xia Chuyi, and second, out of so consideration for Uncle Xia’s sake.

At the sa ti, the intention was basically to keep Xia Lianlian locked up for life.

After that, while Xia Chuyi was in the Capital City for her pregnancy, she never heard any news about Xia Lianlian from anyone.

So now, hearing what Aunt Xia said, Xia Chuyi was very surprised.

"What exactly is going on?" Xia Chuyi asked Aunt Xia.

"Sigh..." On the other end of the phone, as soon as she opened her mouth, Aunt Xia let out another sigh and said, "This matter is a long story..."

Seeing her like this, Xia Chuyi imdiately frowned.

"Auntie, what exactly happened?" Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but ask again.

Now that things had co to this, Aunt Xia no longer planned to hide anything and said, "Here’s what happened..."

"Back then, your uncle and I were getting ready to co up to see you," Aunt Xia said. "But right before we set off, we suddenly got news from the ntal hospital..."

At this point, Aunt Xia paused for a mont before continuing, "The people at the ntal hospital said that Xia Lianlian... was pregnant."

Pregnant?

This answer was even further beyond what Xia Chuyi had imagined.

"Auntie, you an..." Xia Chuyi asked, "Xia Lianlian... was pregnant?"

"No, that’s not right. If we count the ti, when you all found out about Xia Lianlian, I’d already learned I was pregnant..." Xia Chuyi said. "And she got to Ling County earlier than I did..."

"Then her pregnancy should have been earlier than mine," Xia Chuyi deduced reasonably. "So she’s already given birth?"

"And you and Uncle couldn’t co to the Capital City because you stayed to help take care of her and her child?" Xia Chuyi finished.

Hearing this, Aunt Xia imdiately tried to reassure her, "Chuyi, don’t overthink this."

"Your uncle and I still care about you the most in our hearts," Aunt Xia sighed again and said, "But Xia Lianlian... you know, after all, she’s your dad—your brother‑in‑law Xia Chenggui’s child."

"Your brother‑in‑law was a martyr, and the blood he left behind now only has Xia Lianlian," Aunt Xia said. "So your uncle really can’t let it go."

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi’s expression stayed very calm. She smiled faintly and in turn comforted Aunt Xia, "Auntie, don’t worry about it. I understand."

Xia Lianlian was indeed a drama queen and really disgusting, but...
