“I’m wronged, my wife!”
Di Yelei hurriedly raised his arm to swear: “My little kitten, I didn’t know anything! If I had known about this earlier, I wouldn’t have touched you. Little one, you have to stay inside your mother’s belly, understand? Be obedient!”
As he spoke, he gently touched her belly.
“Now you know! If you harm the child in my belly because of your reckless actions, see what you’ll do!”
Liu Sisi spoke and wrinkled her little nose in irritation.
“Alright, alright, I naturally learned my lesson this time.”
Di Yelei then lay back in bed, thought for a while, and said, “This won’t do. How about we go to Dr. He’s pharmacy tomorrow and have him check your pulse to be more cautious?”
Liu Sisi thought for a moment: “Let’s wait a few more days, I’ve been feeling very tired recently. I don’t want to go out.”
“Alright, I understand. You should go to sleep now.”
Di Yelei gently patted her back and watched Liu Sisi quickly fall asleep. He pondered on the recent events.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Ms. Xin, also known as Cui’er, quickly dashed through the air. She didn’t head towards the county seat, but instead followed the mountain range and soon arrived at the foot of Heilong Mountain.
She didn’t stop her footsteps and swiftly flew up toward North Black Dragon Mountain, traversed several mountain ridges, and finally reached the end of the mountain path, the stone mountain tribe in front of her.
As soon as she approached, someone from the high barricade shouted a fierce question.
“Who dares to intrude our territory?”
“It’s me! Open the gate.”
Cui’er replied casually and walked forward a few steps, pulling off her black headscarf.
Suddenly, the sound of a rotating machine was heard, and a rope dropped from the barricade, with a large frame at the end of the rope.
Cui’er swiftly jumped in, and soon afterward, the mechanical sound started again, lifting her and the frame up to the top of the barricade.
As soon as she stepped out of the large frame, dozens of uniformed men lined up next to the machine bowed down in unison.
“Miss Cui!”
“Hmm! Thank you all!”
After saying that, Cui’er dashed straight towards the mountain top. Along the way, numerous checkpoints saw her and withdrew after recognizing her.
She didn’t care and continued to walk forward, rushing into the front hall, turning around the garden, walking across an extensive jadeite garden. The large jadeite garden was quiet, without any slight sound.
Quickly passing through the jadeite garden, Cui’er stepped into a Xiangfei Bamboo Garden and walked up to a small bamboo house. She knocked on the door, which was ajar.
“Come in.”
An elderly but firm voice came from inside.
Cui’er quickly pushed the door open and entered.
In the middle of the bamboo house, there was a long table full of seemingly disorderly yet well-arranged books and papers. In the center of the table, there was a painting that had yet to be completed.
Behind the table was a rocking chair that was slightly swaying. The person lying on the chair remained motionless, still lying there as usual.
Little Cui’er bowed her head and stepped forward, coming to the table and quickly kneeling down: “Little Cui pays respect to Master!”
“Get up. How is the situation developing?”
A slightly hoarse yet crisp voice came out, carrying an unspeakable authority.
Little Cui’er’s body had a slight tremble, and she quickly lowered her already slightly raised head: “Reporting to Master, everything is going exceptionally smoothly. However…”
“Speak! I don’t like being kept in suspense!”
The intimidating voice sounded again.
Little Cui’er got frightened and quickly lowered her body, closing her eyes: “But miss is already pregnant!”
For a moment, the bamboo house fell into silence.
Even the gently swaying recliner stopped its rocking, and the surrounding area was as quiet as death.
After a while, the figure moved again: “Is she? She’s already pregnant? How are the child and adult now?”
As he spoke, the figure lying down slowly sat up and then stood, allowing Little Cui’er to see his face more clearly.
If Liu Sisi were here, she would definitely exclaim in surprise, “So it’s you!” This was none other than the old man who had given her a painting by the lakeside at Sansheng Lake.
The old man’s wise eyes swept over Little Cui’er, a flash of brilliance passed through his eyes, and they returned to their original state.
Little Cui’er slightly raised her head, just in time to meet the emotionless eyes of the old man, she felt a sudden chill, but in an instant, she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look up and offend.
” Reporting to Master, both the adult and child are safe for now. However, the miss’s spirit seems to be not quite good, she looks particularly tired.”
The old man paced back and forth in the bamboo house with his hands clasped behind his back, and opened his mouth again after a moment.
“Have you discovered anything else?”
“Reporting to Master, the Di Family recently purchased a piece of land worth hundreds of taels of silver. This matter was handled entirely by Di Yelei without going through miss’s hands.”
Little Cui’er’s gaze slanted slightly, looking at the furnishings in the bamboo house, mainly trying to see the map on the table.
However, the old man didn’t give her a chance, suddenly raised his hand, and forcefully grabbed her chin, lifting it up: “You dare to play tricks on me? Huh?”
Little Cui’er was shocked for a moment but immediately calmed down, her eyes filled with tears that trickled down.
“I wouldn’t dare! I have been serving the master wholeheartedly for these years, without any ill intentions. May the master discern!”
“Hmph! If you have no ill intentions, why do you carry a strange fragrance that attracted two little locusts? You truly deserve to die!”
As the old man spoke, he suddenly became furious, released Little Cui’er’s chin, and kicked her hard in the chest, kicking her all the way to the other end of the bamboo house with a loud bang. Even the bamboo house shook a few times.
“Cough, cough, cough … Puh!”
Little Cui’er gasped for breath as she struggled to her feet, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. She didn’t care to wipe it, but instead quickly crawled to the old man’s feet and clung to one of his thighs.
“Master, you misunderstood! This fragrance is my usual preparation in Yihong Courtyard, and it was not added intentionally today. In any case, I have been taking care of miss always, and it would not be good for the Master to suddenly replace me. I beg the Master to give me another chance, and I will surely serve the miss well and make amends!”
“You still want a chance to live? You wish! There is no place for useless people under me. Without you, Little Cui, tomorrow I can have ten Little Cuis, a hundred Little Cuis!”
The old man sneered coldly, suddenly raised his hand, and aimed at Little Cui’er’s head with a fierce downward slap!
Little Cui’er’s eyes widened in shock, she could only helplessly raise her head and watch the giant palm fall toward her head…
