"okay."
After receiving the news from Shen Lianqing, Cui Lan was about to fly to Jiangnan. He was not in the mood to talk to Xia Ziyu today, so he nodded and asked him to leave quickly.
Xia Ziyu raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't know Cui Lan's virtue yet, so there must be something wrong.
Thinking of the paper he stuffed into his sleeve, he didn't ask any more questions or exchange a few words with him.
After drinking the water, he immediately turned around and went back to let others start investigating the Cui family in Jiangnan.
It doesn't matter if you don't check it, but if you check it, it won't work. Xia Ziyu read the letter from the person below saying that a pregnant woman had moved into one of Cui Lan's private residences.
woman?
What woman could make him so uneasy?
Xia Ziyu suddenly thought of Shen Lianqing, the woman who cheated on him and ran away again.
Ah.
He also wanted to find her after a while, and it would take no effort at all!
Two days later, he received news again that Liu Qingran had returned to the capital.
Xia Ziyu raised her red lips and smiled, then casually handed over more tasks to Cui Lan. She traveled lightly and left on a big boat that night.
When he left the city gate, he happened to pass by Liu Qingran who came to the capital.
Liu Qingran stood at the gate of the tall and majestic city, holding the evidence in his hand. He stared at the giant beast that swallowed people, his heart was beating fast, and he always had the urge to go back.
No, he shook his head. He couldn't be timid. He had to finish his work and go back quickly. Qing Niang was still waiting for him to take care of her!
Jiangnan Mansion.
Shen Lianqing is very tired during pregnancy. Her eyelids have been twitching recently, wondering what bad things are going to happen.
Her stomach felt uncomfortable here, and the little thing inside kicked her belly with its little feet, making her sleepless all night.
Hey, when will these miserable days be over?
On the night of August 15th, she was lying on the bed and took a bite of the moon cake, and suddenly she felt unbearable pain in her abdomen.
Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, she put her fingers on the table, opened her mouth, and shouted with difficulty, "Come...come..."
There were maids guarding the door. When she heard the voice, she quickly called for someone. Shen Lianqing was sent to the bed by them, and several doctors and women were surrounding the bed.
The doctor was sure that the baby in her belly was going to be born prematurely, and quickly prescribed medicine for her to drink. Several other women were in the room, anxiously running around.
She looked like she was about to give birth.
Shen Lianqing gripped the quilt tightly. It was so painful that she couldn't say a word, but she couldn't help complaining in her mind.
[Shuang...shuang...didn't you say that your pills will ensure that I can give birth smoothly and without pain? 】
The little assistant was also very anxious when she saw her like this. It checked repeatedly to confirm that there was no problem.
When it was also at a loss, a document came from above, and as soon as it opened it, the large golden characters appeared in front of it.
The assistant threw the document to the ground, pulled the fur on the top of his head and kept spinning it, [Host, you are pregnant with a child of luck! 】
[The luck in this world gradually shifted the moment you became pregnant. It was not until this moment that the luck became stronger that the superiors made it clear that you would give birth to the next "male protagonist"! 】
Shen Lianqing was sweating profusely. She gritted her teeth and said, "I...what the hell, I, the one who is pregnant with the child of destiny, will have difficulty in giving birth?" 】
[Those who give birth to children of good luck are usually female protagonists who are also very lucky. You, the host, are non-native residents and cannot bear this great blessing. 】
What? Such a trap? !
If I had known this, why would I have harbored such thoughts? A piece of wood is better than this lucky child!
【Host. ] The little assistant opened the document again, took a look at it, and said to Shen Lianqing, [I will lower the pain for you. You hold on for a few more minutes, and I will pull your soul directly into the space. 】
[Then...my mission? 】
[Host, forget about the mission. Have you forgotten that the world consciousness of this world is not very friendly to your relationship with the male protagonist? You are still pregnant with the male protagonist's baby, and the world's consciousness must not treat you like an evil mother-in-law. 】
[What's more, you're pregnant. Even if you die like this, you will still get less points. 】
[Then I can rest assured, please lower the pain for me. 】
Shen Lianqing was most afraid of losing her points. The assistant said she had them, so why was she still hesitating? !
Dry.
Her fingers loosened their grip on the quilt.
Based on their experience, several stable women realized that something was not right at first glance, "This lady has no strength!"
Not having the energy to give birth is a big no-no!
The housekeeper was also panicked outside. He hurriedly asked someone to bring the thousand-year-old ginseng taken out from the warehouse to the people inside.
Shen Lianqing was in a daze when her mouth was opened and something was inserted into her mouth. Someone kept saying in her ear, "Ma'am, try harder!"
There was heavy rain in the sky, lightning and thunder, and the rain fell to the ground and washed everything away.
On the ancient Jiangnan Road, Xia Ziyu rode a horse with several subordinates behind him, and they went straight to Cui Lan's private house.
Due to the heavy rain, dark clouds covered the moon in the sky. They did not bring any raincoats and were soaked. The subordinate was worried about his master's health and suggested in the rain, "Sir, the rain is so heavy. Why don't you go to the inn to wash up and change clothes tomorrow?" Go to Cui Mansion to see Madam again?"
The people who followed Xia Ziyu all knew what he was doing when he went to Jiangnan, and they knew all about his love and hatred with Shen Lianqing.
Feeling sad and speechless in their hearts, their master has been talented and smart in everything since he was a child, but he is not very emotionally aware. He is finally interested in someone, so why can't he communicate well?
Now that you have been away for several months, do you regret it?
The rain flowed through Xia Ziyu's long and thick eyelashes. His delicate and beautiful facial features were like ghosts in the rainy night. He raised his hand to wipe a handful of rainwater from his face. He opened his lips, feeling palpitated inexplicably.
"No." He found that his voice was a little hoarse, and his dark eyes looked in the direction of Cui Mansion, his sight almost penetrated the rain curtain.
His subordinates heard him say, "Hurry up."
…
Cui Mansion, the room was brightly lit, the housekeeper outside the room was extremely anxious, and the maid carried the basin with clear water in and red water out.
He felt uneasy, so he wrote a few words at the door and sent them to his master in the capital as soon as possible.
As soon as the letter was sent out, a servant hurriedly came to report, "Butler, there is a distinguished guest at the door!"
The housekeeper is in a hurry, who is there at this time? Why don't you have any eyesight?
He gave the boy a sharp look and said, "Don't you see what's going on in the house now?! What kind of guest? Rejected!"
The boy was also very aggrieved. He pointed in the direction of the door and cried, "He, they are unreasonable."
The housekeeper frowned and wondered why he was being so unreasonable. He saw that the door to the courtyard of the mansion was knocked open, and several men in black walked in with solemn expressions.
A bolt of lightning fell, illuminating the face of the leader in the rain. His facial features were outstanding and attractive. His eyes were quenched with a little paint light. He still had the riding crop in his hand. His boots were walking through the rain, grabbing people fiercely.
He ran straight towards the direction of the housekeeper, but the housekeeper stopped him tremblingly, "Dear guest...my wife is giving birth, you...you..."
Xia Ziyu shook off his hand, and the two subordinates behind him stepped forward to hold the housekeeper, cover his mouth, and drag him down.
Xia Ziyu opened his wet legs and broke into the bright room. There were several women inside the curtains, and the maids and doctors were standing outside the curtains. When everyone saw him, they were so frightened by the dangerous aura that emanated from him that they almost dared not move.
He opened the curtain, and Wen Po beside the bed held one hand of the person on the bed and exclaimed, "It's happening, it's happening, ma'am!"
He looked at the familiar person whose face was extremely pale, and her biting lips loosened, and her fingers slowly lowered in his eyes as they lost strength little by little.
Xia Ziyu's heart stopped, and her voice trembled and broke in the rainy night, "Shen Lianqing!"
