then struck, breaking his legs!An Xuetang stepped on his chest with one foot, then took out the poison from her waist. This was the kind of highly toxic poison made by her family's Ajing. Wasn't this...Daliang also wanted to know the answer, so he looked at their elders now.

Waiting for their elders' reply.

Ye Ershu's clear and bright gaze swept over the two people, before slowly falling to a statement: "There's no need to rush into marriage. After all... long is long, endlessly long, yet also dazzlingly brilliant."

After he finished speaking, he turned and went into the study.

> Daliang wore a stoic expression, but Xiao Liang beside him was still full of playful banter.

He blinked and nudged his elder brother with his shoulder, "What do you mean, sir I don't understand."

Da Liang helplessly glanced at his foolish brother, "I told you to read more books when you were idle every day, didn't you You are so ignorant"

"...."

He just asked a question, why is this escalating into a personal attack

Her lips moved slightly, as if to retort, but then she heard her older brother mumble, “There’s a long road ahead, and the sun will always shine.”

"Huh"

Xiaoliang only felt that his brain wasn't enough, what the heck was going on

After Daliang finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the study without any intention of continuing to waste his breath with his foolish younger brother.

But he knew that if he let Xiao Liang react on his own, it would take him a while. So, as he turned away, he still reminded him, “That’s what the adults mean.”

"Ah~ "

Xiao Liang finally reacted, but what followed was anxiety, so anxious that he wished he could do something.

His parents thought there was no need to rush into the marriage, but he was eager for it, desperately so.

In his eyes, the sooner the adult and the county lord got married, the sooner their Ye family's little master would arrive.

Why doesn't he understand this

He still said there was no need to rush, in his opinion, it had been a bit slow for both the adults and the princess to enter their bridal chamber today.

Of course, that was just his own thought, and he dared not say it in front of the adults, or they might punish him.

"Sigh..." In the end, he could only sigh helplessly and then left with the wine jug in his arms.

......

When the night was deep and everyone else was asleep, Xiaoqin tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Her eyes stared straight ahead, with not a hint of drowsiness. She rarely had insomnia on ordinary days.

I don't know what's wrong with me tonight, but I can't sleep at all.

What was most agonizing was that all she could think about was Ye Er's figure.

She was getting irritated and rubbed her hair with force, silently screaming in her heart. What a pain! Why couldn't she sleep and keep thinking about what Mr. Ye was doing

As soon as she closed her eyes, the image of Master Ye grabbing her arm would appear, followed by the image of him serving her dishes, and then the image of him staring at her with deep affection!

No matter how she tried to tell herself not to think about it, her mind kept bringing it up.

Such a state, she didn't know how long it had lasted. Xiaoqin anxiously rubbed her face, cursing herself in her heart: "Pathetic!"

This is nothing, just being affected by Ye Er and having insomnia. This isn't pathetic at all!

......

At the same time, An Xuetang was also having trouble sleeping.

An Xuetang went back to her room early and lay down, even Ning'er and the others mistakenly thought she was asleep.

... No one knew that right now, An Xuetang wasn't asleep. Instead, she was staring blankly, with a dazed and confused expression on her face. ...

Then, her face was covered with streaks of tears.

But she kept silent so as not to let Ning'er and the others find out.

But now she was freezing cold, her heart feeling as if it was being chilled layer by layer. Her mind was filled with Mo Jun Yi's face.

Although she didn't show anything when she saw the letter today, she's definitely not stupid.

Her occupation has instilled in her the unconscious habit of paying attention to detail.

So when she saw the letter Yun Si had handed her, she caught a whiff of ink.

The first letter she looked at was indeed from Yun Wu, but the one Yun Si brought out later still had a faint scent of ink, which meant that the latter letter was obviously written very recently.

Upon seeing these words, she was even more certain of her suspicions.

Yun Si was also very clever. To prevent her from recognizing that it was newly written, he purposely roasted it over a fire, making the characters appear as if they were old.

But he still underestimated her abilities.

After a long time, the handwriting would change, and she could tell the difference between it and handwriting that had been burnt by fire.

Based on these two points, she was certain that the letter Cloud Four produced later was not written by Cloud Five. Even though the handwriting in both letters seemed flawless.

But she was certain, the letter that came after was written hastily by Yun Si.

His purpose for doing so is obvious.

I'm afraid Mo Junyi must have met with an accident, which is why Yunsi fabricated such a lie.

She also knew that Yun Si did this to keep her from worrying about Mo Junyi, but how could she not worry

Now that she thought of Mo Junyi's misfortune, her body trembled involuntarily. She wished she could go find Mo Junyi herself and find out what had happened to him.

But...at this moment, An Xuetang placed her hands on her abdomen, feeling a myriad of emotions.

She finally understood what it meant to have ambition exceeding one's ability.

She doesn't want Mo Junyi to get into trouble, but she also doesn't want the two babies in her belly to get into trouble.

Helpless, bewildered, and despairing!

An Xuetang felt for the first time that she was so incompetent.

Watching things unfold one by one, she was powerless to do anything, unable to offer any help.

The silent night turned into a terrifying darkness, gradually engulfing An Xue Tang, making it hard for her to breathe.

That night, whether she fainted or fell asleep, An Xue Tang herself didn't know.

The next morning, Ning'er noticed something was wrong with An Xuetang. Seeing her red and swollen eyes, Ning'er's heart skipped a beat, "Your Highness... what's wrong"

An Xuetang shook her head slightly, "It's nothing, just had another nightmare."

She knew that everyone around her hoped she would first give birth to the child, so she went along with their wishes and continued to act like she didn't know anything.

She's running out of time... Her baby is due soon. As soon as the child is born, she will immediately set off to find Zilong.

Just as she recalled the birth of her child, she suddenly remembered another pregnant woman in the household: Fu’er.

According to the time calculation, Fu'er's baby in her womb should be almost ten months old now, right

It seems like she hasn't heard Ning'er and the others mention this for quite some time.

Thinking of this, An Xue Tang frowned, while putting on her clothes, she asked Ning'er, "How is Fu'er now"

When mentioning Fu'er, Ning'er's eyes showed a touch of helplessness. "She's still the same, calling day and night to see the Valley Master. It's just that none of us have had the energy to deal with her these days."

"And how is the child she carries Is it well"

"The physician in charge said, 'From her pulse, the child seems quite healthy, just that she hasn't grown much taller. Though she's almost due, Fu’er's belly… still doesn't look like someone who's about to give birth.'"t answer, she just said, "Let's go find Brother Yi again."Before the words even left her lips, she took off running without giving the maidservant a chance to react. The maidservant could only hurry a...
