The right thing would be honesty. Complete and without a single thing left out. Tell her about the pregnancy. Explain the system and all I’ve learned through it.
And let her decide how she felt about protecting a transmigrated fox princess carrying a jerk wolf’s probably magically altered beast child like one of the most nonsensical ’surrogacies’ that has ever existed.
The smart thing would be careful questioning. Find out exactly what she knew, what she’d said to whom, and how much political damage her denial of my pregnancy had cause. Before revealing anything that could make it any worse for either of us.

But we won’t come off like some frightened rogue hiding in the shadows. Perfect plan. What could go wrong? <
