The first watch of the night had passed.

Old Madam Zhou knew her youngest son's temperament all too well. At the sight of his anxious and flustered demeanor, she immediately deduced that the girl had come to blackmail them. Thus, she put on a stern face and looked at Qin Mei, "Young lady, if you back off now, we can pretend nothing has happened."
"I... I really am carrying his child..." Qin Mei's face turned beet red, "He keeps avoiding me at work, never giving me the chance to speak. If I weren't at my wit's end, I wouldn't have come here... If... If you, as his elders, don't wish for him to take responsibility, then my only path left is death."
"Are you threatening us?" Old Madam Zhou glared at her fiercely. "Who told you to do this?"
Qin Mei was taken aback, "What... What do you mean?"
"Who instigated you to make trouble at the Zhou family?" Old Madam Zhou asked bluntly.
