Bab 124: Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Four: Things to Note

"Daughter, what in the world is going on?" Being pregnant should be a joyous occasion, and Mrs. An truly couldn't fathom any reason for secrecy. She could no longer see through her daughter's thoughts and was growing worried.

"Mother, don't worry. Being pregnant is a happy affair. It's not that I have other intentions, it's just, as you know, about the Imperial Court's conscription. The Second Brother must have told you about Husband's thoughts. I don't want this matter to distract him and hinder his future. Moreover, Husband is considering proposing a division of the family in light of the conscription. If he knew I was pregnant, he definitely wouldn't be at ease leaving me alone. He might change his mind. Even parents-in-law, knowing I am pregnant, probably wouldn't agree to the division. Therefore, it's better to keep my pregnancy secret for now. Once everything settles down, I will naturally tell Husband the good news."
