Chapter 1177: Pregnant
This was done 24-7, non-stop.
Early the next morning, Su Xiaoxiao brought the Saintess and Xing’er to the Nie family.
The three little ones stayed in the Hundred Flowers Palace to accompany the Palace Lord, and their Master.
It was another day of trouble!
Wei Ting and Jing Yi also went to the Nie family. However, the two of them did not enter. Instead, they set up a tent in the small forest opposite the Nie family.
When the two of them marched to war, they often did not even have tents. They used the sky as their mat.
There was naturally nothing in this tent that he was not used to.
This was also why Wei Ting was very satisfied with Jing Yi.
The young marquis was not delicate at all.
“I’ll sleep outside,” Wei Ting said.
Jing Yi said, “Why? Are you up at night? Your kidney is not good at such a young age!”
Wei Ting was speechless!
Su Xiaoxiao went to greet Xiao Ruyan and Nie Xiaozhu before going to Granny Nie’s courtyard.
She was a regular in Granny Nie’s courtyard. The servants were already used to it.
However, before her, no outsider could enter Granny’s courtyard freely.
Granny Nie looked at Su Xiaoxiao, who had walked in valiantly with her pregnant belly, and asked helplessly, “Why are you here again?
Su Xiaoxiao sat down beside her and looked at her with her chin in her hands. “Granny, what grudge do you have with Elder Qiu?”
Granny Nie chose the herbs on the table and said calmly, “Why are you asking about this?”
Su Xiaoxiao said bluntly, “I’m curious. I’m asking.”
Granny Nie said indifferently, “Don’t you think it’s too late to ask this after betraying him?”
Su Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly. “Sigh, I’m just sacrificing myself to fulfill my Granny’s wish. Others can criticize me, but if Granny says the same thing, it should make me sad.’
Granny Nie glanced at Su Xiaoxiao speechlessly, no longer wanting to talk to her.
Granny Nie looked out.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Is Granny looking for Xiaozhu? He probably won’t come over today.”
Nie Xiaozhu was being made to practice martial arts with the Saintess again.
The Saintess asked him to do the horse stance in the courtyard.
After adjusting his posture, the Saintess left.
She usually came over to take a look after half an hour. When she realized that Nie Xiaozhu was lazy, she would teach him a lesson.
Nie Xiaozhu had already figured out this pattern.
Nie Xiaozhu would never admit defeat.
After confirming that the Saintess had gone far, Nie Xiaozhu immediately ran back to the house, took two ropes, and brought out a bucket of water.
He tied one of the ropes to the bucket.
He climbed up the tree himself and looped the rope around the trunk. Then he
pulled tne DucKet up ancl DroKe anotner Drancn to support It at tne DOttom.
After doing this, he tied another rope to the tree trunk and pulled the other end of the rope down from the tree.
He also made arrangements on the ground and buried them with leaves.
When the Saintess returned to see him, he was already in the horse stance again.
The Saintess glanced at him and was about to leave.
Nie Xiaozhu immediately bent her horse stance.
The Saintess came over to correct him.
Nie Xiaozhu looked at the Saintess’s feet calmly and counted in his heart.
Five steps, four steps, three steps, two steps… She was hit!
The Saintess had stepped into a trap.
Nie Xiaozhu’s eyes lit up with excitement.
However, a shocking scene happened next.
The Saintess walked over unscathed and pressed him down to straighten his horse stance.
After the Saintess left, Nie Xiaozhu was confused.
He came to the trap and stepped on it.
Swish!
The rope loop suddenly tightened and hung him upside down.
At the same time, the branch on the trunk slid to the right, the wooden bucket tilted, and the water inside splashed down.
Nie Xiaozhu was drenched.
Xiao Ruyan’s lion roar came from the courtyard door. “Nie—Xiao—Zhu!!!” Nie Xiaozhu trembled.
Nie Xiaozhu, who had failed twice in a row, was not discouraged.
When she was not doing missions, the Saintess had the habit of taking an afternoon nap.
Nie Xiaozhu secretly placed his Grandma’s calming fruit in the Saintess’ soup.
Every time his mother used this fruit to make tea, she would sleep until dawn.
After the Saintess ate, she returned to her room to rest for the afternoon.
Nie Xiaozhu tiptoed into the house, grabbed the brush on the table, and came to the bed. He dipped his saliva in it and was about to draw on the Saintess’s face.
Suddenly, the Saintess opened her eyes.
Nie Xiaozhu cried out and fell to the ground.
Fifteen minutes later.
Nie Xiaozhu came out soullessly with a face full of scribbles.
On the morning of the seventh day after Granny Nie returned from the City Lord Manor, Steward Chang came over.
Wei Ting suddenly opened his eyes. “Jing Yi, someone’s here!”
Steward Chang rushed into the Nie family and jogged to Granny Nie’s courtyard. “Granny! Granny! Hurry up and follow me to the City Lord Manor! Madam is giving birth!” “She’s giving birth?”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Yuru.
Xiao Ruyan was sitting opposite Su Xiaoxiao. The two of them were arranging Wei Xiaobao’s clothes.
She also asked Yuru, “Did you hear wrongly?”
Yuru said, “No, no! I really heard that person say that Madam Ru is about to give birth! He looks very anxious!”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s exactly seven days. Granny is too amazing.”
Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ruyan went to Granny Nie.
After packing up, Granny Nie prepared to set off.
Su Xiaoxiao went to get the first aid kit. Granny Nie said to her daughter-in-law, “Take it.” Xiao Ruyan said, “Mother, am I going too?”
“Yeah.”
Granny Nie nodded indifferently.
Xiao Ruyan said hesitantly, “Xiaozhu what should we do about him?”
She was afraid that her unfilial son would tear down her house in ger absence!
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. “I have an idea!”
Fifteen minutes later, a small child appeared beside Jing Yi.
As Su Xiaoxiao had expected, they encountered an ambush on the way to the City Lord Manor.
Fortunately, there was the Saintess and Wei Ting, who were hiding in the dark.
Seeing the intense battle between the two sides, Manager Chang could not help but be shocked. “Who dares to attack the carriage of the City Lord Manor?”
These people were not ordinary assassins. They were skilled in martial arts and their moves were ruthless.
Unfortunately, they did not encounter ordinary guards of the City Lord Manor, but the Saintess and Wei Ting.
Manager Chang watched as the assassins fell one after another and shouted, “Keep them alive! Keep a few alive! Interrogate who sent them!”
Was there a need to interrogate them?
This group of people had come prepared. It was obvious that they did not resist fiercely when they were captured. If they were really interrogated, who knew if they would frame the Hundred Flowers Palace?
Wei Ting was not so stupid.
“Kill.”
Wei Ting said to the Saintess.
Hence, the Saintess did not leave anyone alive.
Granny Nie sat upright in the carriage and looked at Wei Ting who rushed out halfway without saying anything.
Wei Ting’s skills were all taught by Elder Qiu. Granny should have seen through it.
The assassin was dealt with.
Wei Ting and the Saintess searched them one by one, but they did not find anything suspicious.
Saving lives was more important. Steward Chang did not dare to stay any longer and continued to bring the few of them along. Wei Ting followed as Granny Nie’s secret guard.
Granny Nie said nothing.
After entering the City Lord Manor, Granny Nie, Su Xiaoxiao, and Xiao Ruyan went to see Madam Ru.
Wei Ting waited outside the courtyard.
Madam Ru had experienced spotting the day before and had begun to suffer from labor pains this morning..
