"Senior... Brother?" Su Peijiu was surprised to be held in his arms, a hint of embarrassment flashing in her watery eyes.
Ji Yu then realized he had acted a bit out of line and quickly let her go, noticing that his left hand was still holding Su Peijiu's. They exchanged glances and suddenly burst into laughter.
After laughing, the awkwardness faded. Ji Yu picked up the spoon from the table to cool the medicinal soup, then scooped a spoonful and brought it to Su Peijiu's lips. "You know, you almost caused my adopted son to be in danger?"
Su Peijiu hurriedly reached for her child, finding her belly unchanged, and felt relieved. A bit embarrassed, she took the medicine from the spoon. "Why would I faint?"
"Too much anxiety. What about you?" Ji Yu shot her a glance and scooped another spoonful to offer her. Su Peijiu quickly reached for the bowl. "Senior Brother, I'm not a child; I can drink it myself."
Ji Yu pulled his hand back slightly. "Be good, or I'll have Hua Qian add some Coptis."
His outstretched hand retracted. "I was wrong, Senior Brother."
"Have you seen that person? Is this how you feel? Are you still forcing yourself despite the pain in your stomach?" Ji Yu's words carried a hint of gloom in his phoenix eyes. Was he really not as good as that person? He had met her first, yet that person could so easily claim all of her?
The child, her heart... it all belonged to that person.
Ha... Qi Mo, how fortunate you are!
Su Peijiu fell silent, feeling the bitterness of the medicine in her mouth, which twisted her heart painfully. She shook her head. "It's just a doomed fate; it's ultimately my fault for not being able to control my heart and dragging the child into suffering."
"Is he really that good?" Ji Yu couldn't help but ask this question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
Su Peijiu paused for a moment, recalling the bits and pieces with Qi Mo. He had indeed pampered her quite a bit, almost always fulfilling her wishes. But with national grievances and family hatred between them, their relationship was ultimately illusory.
"Senior Brother, let's not talk about impossible things anymore. Besides this child, I don't want any connection with that person in the future." She took the bowl of medicine from Ji Yu's hands and drank it all at once. The bitter liquid flowed from her mouth into her stomach; although warm, it made her intestines feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Ji Yu's gaze fell on Su Peijiu's belly.
"Is there no other connection besides the child? Do you know that just one child will entangle you endlessly?"
"Finish this bowl, and later there will be a dose of Miscarriage Medicine. You must drink it all; you can't pour it out like last time into the potted plant." Ji Yu stood up and placed the medicine bowl on the plate, her red lips murmuring.
Su Peijiu's gaze fell on his stubbled chin, a warm current flowing through her heart as she nodded, "I will obediently finish it."
"Is this a good word today?" Ji Yu turned his head in surprise, as if he saw a different Su Peijiu. Wasn't this girl the one who fussed and refused to take her medicine last time?
Su Peijiu stuck out her tongue; she only acted spoiled in front of Ji Yu and her master. She could be willful and refuse to take medicine because they were her family, the ones she could rely on. In front of others, she had to maintain an image of an independent and decisive leader. Otherwise, how could she lead others to risk their lives for her?
"Brother, you're tired; hurry up and rest," she urged from behind Ji Yu.
Ji Yu smiled helplessly as he left. The moment the door closed, the smile on his lips faded... His phoenix eyes looked dimly at the side before he quietly departed.
Su Peijiu looked at the empty House, curling up in the warm blanket, her hand resting on her belly as she raised her eyes slightly, "Yan Bai."
"At your service!" Yan Bai immediately appeared from the shadows and knelt on the ground.
"I have something for you to do."
"Please give your orders, Master of the Building."
"You will go to the capital at your fastest speed and deliver a letter for me. Also, leak the news about Mo Wang Qi Mo recruiting soldiers; the bigger the commotion, the better." A cold light flashed in her watery eyes as she smiled coldly.
She wanted to completely erase Qi Mo from existence before the child was born!
Qi Mo, don't blame me for being ruthless... You were like this to me back then! Now I am merely returning the favor in kind.
The cold wind of December blew fiercely, covering everything in frost and snow, enveloping the world in a dreamy silver veil that felt intangible and elusive.
Returning to the residence with Qi Mo, Qin Ran suppressed her anger and rushed into the room, recklessly smashing a pile of items. Grabbing her personal maid by the wrist, she shouted furiously, "Who does she think she is! How dare she hit me! That wretched woman actually dared to strike me!"
The maid endured the pain and tried to appease Qin Ran, saying, "We must not let that woman go unpunished. Madam is of noble birth; how could that wretched woman dare to lay a hand on you!"
Hearing this, Qin Ran tightened her grip even more, causing the maid's face to pale from the pain. However, the maid bit her lip and refused to make a sound, knowing that if she cried out, it would bring even more terrifying punishment. The last maid had been dragged out of this room without a single uninjured spot on her body.
"I want to see what that woman, who is only good-looking, can use to compete with me, Qin Ran!" A malicious smile flashed in her eyes as she released her grip and looked down at the maid. "Go brew some Lotus Soup; the master is home today." The maid obediently left.
Qin Ran turned around proudly and sat on the cushion, crossing her legs as she watched the fragrant smoke wafting through the room. She thought of Qi Mo's handsome face, her eyes filled with uncontrollable admiration.
But soon, her expression dimmed. Although she was his wife, he had never touched her. On the surface, it seemed like they were affectionate, yet he hadn't even given her a proper wedding ceremony, let alone treated her with respect.
Today, she noticed a change in his gaze towards that woman; could it be...
Suppressing her uneasy thoughts, she took out a packet of medicinal powder from a hidden compartment nearby. Just a little bit was enough; even a sage could be reckless! She didn't believe that as long as Qi Mo drank that Lotus Soup, he wouldn't obediently come to her bed!
In this day and age, if a woman wanted to secure something, it was still best to rely on the child in her womb!
The maid returned with a bowl of soup. Qin Ran tucked the medicinal powder back into her sleeve and said lightly, "Just put it on the table."
Watching the maid leave, she smirked as she sprinkled the powder into the soup and stirred it with a spoon before carefully making her way toward Qi Mo's study...
"Have you found out what I wanted?" The White-Clad Youth played with a Jade Pendant in his hand while pressing down on Mink's body with one hand. Beside him was Leyang with a serious expression.
"The lady does not know the exact duration of her pregnancy; she only disappeared for a month after being conferred the title of princess, and later moved to Jiangnan with the Demon Cult Leader, Ji Yu." After he finished speaking, he indeed felt that his master’s mood had dropped a few degrees, especially at the mention of the month-long disappearance, which made the room feel cold and eerie.
"The Su Family should keep a close watch and find out from Zhao Mengzhi who Su Peijiu's biological father is! Additionally, have the Shadow Guard disguised as Su Xingyan pay attention to the people from Nan Xie Tower. They will likely come knocking within three days."
"Understood!"
"And also..." Qi Mo's words suddenly stopped as his gaze shifted to the door. Sure enough, he heard footsteps approaching, accompanied by a delicate voice saying, "Husband..." The door was pushed open, and a figure in orange entered, carrying a bowl of soup.
Qi Mo concealed the disgust in his dark eyes and forced a smile. "What brings you here?"
Qin Ran shyly placed the soup on the table. "This is the soup I made for Husband; I wanted you to taste my cooking."
"I will drink the soup, you may leave now." Qi Mo glanced at the soup and immediately recognized Qin Ran's trick. His expression turned colder as his gaze fell on Leyang. Leyang forced a smile; every time such thankless tasks arose, it was always him who had to deal with them. Though reluctant, he spoke up: "Madam, I have important matters to report; please leave."
Qin Ran shot Leyang a fierce glare before turning sweetly to Qi Mo. "Then Husband must remember to drink it..." She reluctantly closed the door behind her as she left.
"This soup..." Leyang glanced at the suspicious bowl of soup. Could it be that the master really intended to drink it?
Qi Mo's gaze lingered on the soup, revealing a smirk that was neither a smile nor a frown. He said, "We should have a yard on the south side of the street."
A bead of sweat dripped down Leyang's forehead; that yard was right next to Su Peijiu's house... separated only by a wall. If he still didn't understand what his master intended to do now, then he had wasted over ten years following him.
Meanwhile, after Su Peijiu had instructed Yan Bai on some matters, she fell into a deep sleep. However, as she slept, she began to feel as if her body was pressed against a hot furnace, and something soft and damp kept brushing against her face and neck. Frowning in discomfort, she still did not wake up.
When most of her clothes had been removed and she was being cooled by a chilly breeze, she finally opened her eyes. What greeted her was an expanse of bright red fabric embroidered with hehuan flowers—clearly not her house!
Her water-like eyes flew wide open to see a man with an impish smile looking at her, his bare upper body exposed. His large hand rested on her abdomen...
“Qi Mo! What do you want to do?” She was too heavy to get up by herself, and looking at the man in front of her with a lewd smile, she instinctively felt fear.
“Madam…” The man leaned closer, licking the corner of her lips like a beast, whispering in her ear, “I’ve been drugged.”
“What does it have to do with me being drugged! Who is your madam! Go find your Qin Ran.” She thought her words sounded cold, but to the man, they came off like an angry wife, which made him smile.
His large hand slid down along her protruding belly. Su Peijiu trembled slightly; a woman pregnant could not withstand such teasing. Blushing, she pushed his hand away, saying, “Get away! Don’t touch me!”
“I’ve been hit by the Fiery Spring Wind.” The man shamelessly leaned closer again but carefully avoided touching her belly. “Without the antidote, I might die.”
Su Peijiu sneered, “If you die, I’ll set off firecrackers for three nights to celebrate that this world has finally lost one more scourge!”
Qi Mo viciously bit her red lip, rolling and sucking on it, his eyes turning completely Azure.
He didn’t want to hear that tempting mouth utter any more hurtful words; he really didn’t want to…
“...Mmm!” She bit down on his lip, watching as it broke and bright red blood oozed out. Smirking, she said, “If you dare touch me, next time it won’t just be this.”
Qi Mo smiled ambiguously, pressing his scorching body against hers, a certain part rubbing impatiently against her. His voice was hoarse and low: “Does Madam want to bite anywhere else?”
Su Peijiu: …
