Murong Jinxiang couldn't allow her elderly mother to continue cleaning, so she swiftly reached out to stop her.
The old mother, faced with Murong Jinxiang's intervention, hesitated, not wanting to exert any force.
She gently admonished, "Xiaoxi, you're pregnant. You shouldn't be doing this physical work. Let go."
Initially puzzled by her mother-in-law's sudden enthusiasm, Murong Jinxiang soon realized the reason behind it.
The old woman suspected she might be pregnant.
Realizing this misunderstanding offered a straightforward solution. Murong Jinxiang clarified, "Mom, who told you that? I'm not pregnant. I just had a check-up with Qi Xiang a few days ago. Please don't misunderstand."
"Oh?" The smile on the old mother's face disappeared upon hearing this clarification.
Clearly disinterested in cleaning any longer, she turned and left the room.
Murong Jinxiang breathed a sigh of relief.
