Surprise! The villain is my brother, stay calm!

Lu Zhanxing, who originally wanted to confess his love, heard his nervous voice. The handsome man was so close to him, and since she was already pregnant with his child, why not just be direct?

Lu Zhanxing was about to make a move when Mu Qingli looked at someone getting closer and closer. She felt her heartbeat quickening and the sound of her chest beating was deafening.

She was stunned, at a loss, and watched Lu Zhanxing approach...

I felt even more happy in my heart. She should be interested in me, right?

Suddenly, there was an urgent knock on the door. It was Xiulan's voice: "Master, Huaguo wants to see Mr. Mu."

Mu Qingli came back to his senses. If it wasn't something important, Hua Guo wouldn't come to see him, so he pretended to be calm and pushed Lu Zhanxing away: "Mr. Lu, please respect yourself!"

Lu Zhanxing waved his hands helplessly, thinking about talking about it later.

The door opened, and Hua Guo handed a note to Mu Qingli with an anxious expression.

Mu Qingli unfolded it doubtfully, his expression suddenly became solemn and his face turned pale.

Seeing that Mu Qingli had a strange expression, Lu Zhanxing snatched the letter from Mu Qingli's hand and read it. He found that the letter was written entirely in Tadpole script and he couldn't understand it.

"What's written here?" What country's words are these?

Mu Qingli took the letter back indifferently: "This is our family's unique writing, it's a family letter. I'm going to reply, so I won't bother Mr. Lu anymore."

He secretly thanked his lucky stars that the two of them had not expressed their feelings further, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Lu Zhanxing grabbed him and said, "Mr. Mu is so smart, you should know what I mean, right?"

Mu Qingli shook her hand off coldly: "Mr. Lu, please respect yourself. I already have an engagement."

After saying this, he turned around and left without mercy, taking the flowers and fruits with him, leaving Lu Zhanxing with a confused look on his face.

So, the letter was from his fiancée?

Am I being rejected?

Xiulan was about to say something when she saw this scene. Could it be that the young master likes Mr. Mu?

Is the child in the young master's belly Mr. Mu's?

She wanted to ask but didn't dare to, after all, the young master seemed to have been rejected by Mr. Mu...

Lu Zhanxing sighed and murmured to himself: "This is also good..."

He has his sweetheart and I also have a wife, so the best option is not to disturb each other.

After Mu Qingli returned to Youranju, his expression suddenly turned ugly: "He is one step ahead of us! He has become the national teacher of Qi State, second only to the emperor, and has already selected the best place for his people."

Hua Guo was very panicked: "What? What should we do? It's only the third year, so Master..."

The master had finally won a place in the clan, and was forced to come out and plan for the clan. He thought he had ten years to slowly implement it, but someone got there first.

The last option left for the young master is death.

There is only one Holy Son, and the other can only be sacrificed. This is the rule of the clan.

Faced with life and death, the first person Mu Qingli thought of was not her relatives, but Lu Zhanxing. She was glad that she did not communicate her feelings with Lu Zhanxing, otherwise even if they were together, she would not live long.

Before, he was blinded by love and did think about abandoning his tribe, his relatives, and even his life. As long as he could be with Lu Zhanxing, he didn't care about anything else.

But when it really came, he secretly felt lucky that they were from two different worlds after all.

He drank that day partly because she had disturbed his heart, but more because he knew that there would be no future between them.

That's why he decided to let go of this inhumane relationship and wanted to get drunk for once.

Mu Qingli heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately...

Just now in Lu Zhanxing's study, no big mistake was made.

In this fight for clan power, no matter whether you win or lose, you must not be tempted by anyone.

If I win, I have to go back to my tribe to accept another marriage proposal. If I lose, I have to...

At this moment, Mu Qingli felt pain in her heart, but she was more glad that Lu Zhanxing was not a weak woman. Even if she did not agree to be with her, she could not hurt her heart. Even if she was gay, there would be other handsome men who would enter her heart. She was just a passer-by in her heart!

He comforted himself and consoled himself in his heart, but he still felt a little pain in his heart...

After a while, he took a deep breath and said, "It's just a letter. If you didn't call me back, I'll just pretend I don't know. From now on, we'll see who's better."

An unprecedented determination flashed in Mu Qingli's eyes.

After this day, Lu Zhanxing stayed in the mansion peacefully to take care of her pregnancy. Emperor Qian was seriously ill, and the three princes showed their filial piety to him every day.

The struggle for power in the court was equally fierce. The fifth prince had no intention of competing for the throne, but after being interfered by the fourth prince, his relationship with the second prince broke down.

So you have to fight even if you don’t want to, otherwise you will be doomed.

The court was in chaos, and Lu Zhanxing stayed at home to take care of his pregnancy. In early September, news came that Su Xianye was three months pregnant.

The happiest people were the old Duke and Prime Minister Su.

The old Duke was truly happy. Now that his two grandsons had descendants, he felt relieved.

Prime Minister Su had tried so hard for so long but still had no children, so he consulted the imperial physician, who told him that he had been given a sterilizing drug and that there was no way to save him.

Prime Minister Su was furious and searched the Prime Minister's Mansion thoroughly, but he did not find out the truth. However, the only two people who did not want him to have any descendants were Zhao, who was recuperating in the manor, and Su Xianxin, so Prime Minister Su hated these two people in his heart.

He could no longer tolerate Zhao, and had made her completely bedridden.

He had given up on his second daughter, Su Xianxin. Now that he learned that Su Xianye was pregnant, he was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to deliver a valuable gift.

Su Xianye, who was "nursing her pregnancy" in Yunfeng Courtyard, received a valuable gift from her father, as well as a silver note worth 10,000 taels. Her hands, which had become exceptionally smooth and slender, stroked the valuable glass cup that her father had sent her.

He suddenly uttered a sinister sneer, like the frost in December, chilling him to the bone: "Father, father... this is what you owe me and my mother..."

She often goes back home to visit her father and sometimes shows her care as a daughter. Does this really mean she is forgiving what her father did in the past?

No, thinking about the hardships I had endured with my mother in the village, this so-called father ignored me and caused me to be tortured every day. If it weren't for this marriage, I would probably still have to live in fear, resentment and pain.

Therefore, she never forgave Su Chongwen.

She often asked people to give her father clothes and other items she had embroidered herself to express her filial piety, but secretly she was giving her father a drug to make him infertile!

Now, his father knew that he could not have children, so he began to suspect that it was the Zhao mother and daughter who poisoned him.

Naturally, she became more concerned about her filial eldest daughter.

She also began to look forward to the "grandson" in her belly.

She was very satisfied with the result. She asked people to put away all the things and went back to her inner room to cry bitterly. Su Chongwen and Zhao both got the consequences they deserved. She finally avenged her mother.

As for Su Xianxin, she thought of what her husband said. She felt that it would not be long before Su Xianxin would suffer the consequences of her actions. Anyway, she could wait...

"Madam, the pregnancy-preserving medicine is ready. Do you want to drink it now?"

Luzhu brought in a bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine.

"Bring it in!" Su Xianye restrained her expression. She felt very happy after crying. Luzhu came in with a bowl of medicine.

She and Hongmei were the young lady's confidants, so they naturally knew that the young lady was not pregnant, but that the young master had accidentally left a child outside. In order to make the birth of the child legitimate, the young lady pretended to be pregnant. This "pregnancy-preserving medicine" was just ordinary sugar water!

After Su Xianye finished drinking the pregnancy-preserving medicine, Lu Zhu said with some dissatisfaction: "Why did the young lady agree to the young master and stay in the mansion every day to "nurture the pregnancy"?"

In her mind, the young lady could totally get pregnant on her own.

Su Xianye said indifferently, "It's good enough not to take the concubine into the mansion. Besides, my husband said that it was just an accident when he was drunk, not because of love. The Anguo Mansion doesn't have many descendants, so we should keep her if we can."

Moreover, her husband had promised her that as long as she helped him keep this a secret, he swore that he would never take a concubine, even after he was forty years old.

What's more, I'm faking a pregnancy now, so when the child is born, everyone will only think it's mine, which gives me some protection.

Since my husband has made a promise to me and is the savior who pulled me out of the quagmire, what reason do I have to refuse?

ps: My dears, Mumu and our Ah Xing still have a long way to go. You can also look forward to it. When Ah Xing’s children grow up, what will happen when Mumu meets them?
