Chapter 994: Chapter 835, Entering the Jar_2
…
In a forest in the Beijing suburbs, a Hidden Guard removed a slip of paper from a pigeon’s leg and quickly ran to hand it to Xiao Yechi.
Xiao Yechi, after reading the contents of the paper, looked sowhat displeased.
Seeing this, the advisor beside him couldn’t help but ask, “My lord, what has happened?”
Xiao Yechi frowned, “The old Duke knows Luo Qiong is carrying my child and wants to et to resolve this matter.”
The advisor imdiately said, “My lord, the Hidden Guard previously sent to handle the transport laborers hasn’t returned. We are certainly being watched. We absolutely must not show ourselves easily at this ti.”
Xiao Yechi pondered, his brow furrowed with hesitation. He genuinely had feelings for Luo Qiong, and he was truly looking forward to the child in her belly.
The advisor, aware of what Xiao Yechi valued, advised, “My lord, if you desire legitimate heirs of pure Daxia blood, you can marry more won of Daxia in the future. Right now, your safety is of utmost importance.”
Xiao Yechi: “I’m afraid if I don’t go, the Duke Residence won’t let this go. You saw this ti when we returned that the Luo Family was desperate to abandon our ship. Now that they know Qiongqiong is carrying my child, they will definitely want to eliminate this potential threat.”
As he spoke, he glanced at a pile of gold, silver, and jewels that was still halfway unexcavated.
“These treasures still need days to be dug out. If the Duke Residence keeps making frequent moves, it could easily draw the attention of others.” He paused, “I should still go and et them.”
The advisor, looking worried, said, “Could there be a trap?”
Xiao Yechi smiled, “Don’t worry, the Duke Residence is the last who would want to co to harm.”
Advisor: “Still, it’s better to be cautious.”
Xiao Yechi thought for a mont, “You’re right. For safety’s sake, we can’t let the Duke Residence pull us by the nose. How we et, I must have the final say.”
The eting place between the old Duke and Xiao Yechi had been set a long ti ago, but influenced by his advisor’s warning, Xiao Yechi didn’t go to the previously agreed place and instead went directly into the city.
…
Prince Residence.
“Slap!”
Xiao Yechen slapped Luo Qiong hard again, “You whore, who is your lover out there?”
Luo Qiong, struck to the ground, now disheveled and blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, lay in utter disarray. Even so, her eyes were filled with disdain and scorn for Xiao Yechen, and she didn’t speak, instead tightly shielding her belly with her hands.
Fueled by Luo Qiong’s attitude, Xiao Yechen grabbed her hair and yanked her up, “Won’t talk, huh? Do you believe I could have soone beat the bastard out of you today?”
Fear finally showed on Luo Qiong’s face, but she quickly forced herself to calm down and coldly said to Xiao Yechen, “You wouldn’t dare; if you kill my child, then I will die too.”
“If I die, what will you use to explain to the Duke Residence? Without the Duke Residence’s support, what will you use to compete with Xiao Yeyang for the Prince Residence’s title?”
Xiao Yechen laughed angrily, “A woman who cheats, I could kill you a hundred tis and it wouldn’t be too much.”
Luo Qiong’s face revealed a sneer, “Xiao Yechen, do you dare to publicize this matter?”
Xiao Yechen’s eyes flashed fiercely, but he said nothing.
Seeing him like this, Luo Qiong’s mocking expression beca even more pronounced, “Xiao Yechen, you were never a match for Xiao Yeyang. Your chances of competing for the Prince Residence’s title are slim, and if the news of your wife’s adultery spreads, how do you think the people of Beijing will see you? Then, you will truly be a joke.”
“Slap!”
Xiao Yechen slapped Luo Qiong again, “Whore! I have treated you well, why would you do this to ?”
Luo Qiong, lying on the ground, glared back at Xiao Yechen with equal anger, “Treated well? You let your mother set rules for , let her take concubines for you, is this your way of treating well?”
“Xiao Yechen, when I married you, I wanted to be a good wife and mother, but did you ever protect when your mother bullied ? My situation today is all your doing.”
“If you won’t be good to , why shouldn’t I accept kindness from soone else?”
Xiao Yechen: “My mother may sotis be overbearing, but isn’t that how all mothers-in-law are? Just because she sets rules for you, you ruthlessly kill her? Luo Qiong, don’t push the bla onto my mother; at the end of the day, you are a cruel and heartless person.”
