When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 596: The Truths Hidden Within the Truth (Part 6)

Tang Yanqi held onto the railing with one hand, her back also supported steadily by someone. Though she was startled for a moment, she remained standing firmly in place.

Beneath her feet was a patch of water that hadn’t been wiped clean. Tang Yanqi steadied herself, ready to thank the person behind her, when she heard an unfamiliar voice: "Young Madam? Is it really you?"

Tang Yanqi turned around to see a woman she didn’t recognize.

Clad in a cleaner’s uniform, the mask originally on her face had been removed. The hair on both sides of her forehead was a bit messy, her face was passable, but her skin was too rough, like someone in her fifties or sixties. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Who are you...?"

The woman hesitated for a moment, looking a bit embarrassed: "Young Madam, you don’t remember me? I used to work as a servant at the old house, then... I got into trouble, and it was you who spoke up for me. I barely escaped a mishap."

Tang Yanqi furrowed her brows, hearing this seemed to jog her memory.

"You used to take care of grandfather?"

"Yes, yes, that’s me."

That was a long time ago, back when Mr. Sheng broke his rib due to her mistake, fortunately, no life-threatening risk occurred.

"I remember you said you went back to your hometown. Why are you here?"

The woman rubbed her hands, smiled: "I got married back home, but some things happened, so I came back."

From the look on her face when she spoke, the "things happened" surely wasn’t minor, but Tang Yanqi wasn’t one to pry. She smiled gently, thanking the woman for supporting her earlier.

"Thank you, if it weren’t for you, I would have fallen just now."

"Oh, no worries, it’s nothing."

The woman’s gaze fell on Tang Yanqi’s protruding belly, an expression of envy appeared on her earnest face: "I never expected to see you again, Young Madam. You’re pregnant; Mr. Sheng must be delighted."

Tang Yanqi gently caressed her belly, smiling: "Yes, if grandfather is watching from heaven, he’d be very happy."

"In heaven? Mr. Sheng he..."

Those who could work as servants in the Sheng Family were professionally trained and rigorously selected. They weren’t just unthinking workers but were quite adept in various aspects.

The woman’s mouth opened, but no sound came, a brief shock followed by some sadness.

"You carry on, I’ll be heading back."

"Alright, alright, Young Madam, there’s water on the ground, be careful as you walk."

Tang Yanqi took two steps back, suddenly recalling something, turned back: "Nobody here knows who I am, so..."

"Understood, understood, rest assured Young Madam, I won’t say a word."

Their conversation was quiet, with other cleaners far off, occupied with their tasks, no one noticed.

Tang Yanqi nodded in thanks, and continued back.

Almost back to the office, she heard hurried footsteps behind her: "Young... Young Madam."

Tang Yanqi turned: "Is there anything else?"

The person licked her dry lips, rubbed her hands again: "Young Madam, I want to say something to you, though... though I really shouldn’t."

"What is it?"

"Young Madam, Mr. Sheng has passed away, and the lady doesn’t like you. Be careful when you go home, you’re carrying a child now, be mindful when eating and everything."

Tang Yanqi was slightly stunned, but before she could speak, the person hurried away.

The person’s back was slightly hunched, but the expression she had just now was particularly earnest.
