bump!" I really want to smack him."Uh... I was just guessing..." Dabao looked away.This guy!He must have heard some rumors!For example, the little boy's wide mouth proclaimed that he had climbed a la...This immediately woke me up.

Jiang Qiyun propped me up from behind, his hand just now on my abdomen, the feeling was very obvious.

It seemed like a bubble popped, and then everything went quiet. My heart pounded in my chest, and I couldn't stop myself from worrying if something was wrong.

“I… I should probably go back and see Old Lady Wu. And I have an exam coming up, plus I need to check in with my dad—” I rattled off every excuse I could think of.

Jiang Qiyun's cold breath sprayed on the back of his ear: "Are you afraid"

Nonsense, who wouldn't be afraid Just thinking about that terrifying time coming, I feel like I should get together with my family and write a will or something.

"...You've always harbored resentment towards me, which is why you keep suppressing your obsessive emotions beneath a facade of compliance." Jiang Qiyun let out a light chuckle.

I couldn't help but furrow my brow, turning to stare at him. His eyes were easy to spot in the darkness.

"Jiang Qiyun, you still have the nerve to laugh."

"Why can't you laugh You look so nervous, like a little rabbit...Do you really want to have my child" A wicked smile curled up the corner of his lips.

I rolled my eyes. “I don’t want to, it’s just that I feel guilty. I don’t have your level of cultivation. I don't have any feelings for this child at all. He has my blood in him, half of me. I can’t bear to…”

Before I could finish my sentence, Jiang Qiyun pounced on me, his tightened arms squeezing my ribs until they ached.

"Honestly, stop it—" I tugged at his hair. Well, he wouldn't even be mad now if I did.

He lifted his head from my chest, his eyes fixed on me: "Mu Xiaoqiao, I'm being serious with you—I've never lied to you. You don't need to be so worried and afraid."

But—

"Shh... It's a state secret... If you have the energy to talk, why not continue"

"Uh... no... please don't... I just... got worked up." I was terrified, he was ferocious when he got turned on.

“I will tap lightly.”

“...”

What else could stop him

》》》

My brother teases me every day: "Little Qiao, you don't need to be disciplined. Look at how you walk every day, like floating. You'll be able to ride the wind back home and become a fairy soon."

The outer disciples who studied with me, at first, looked down on me and mocked me. Over time, they would also tease me: "Cultivation is not easy, we only cultivate during the day, Miss Mu, you have to cultivate at night as well."

What can I say The cleaning nuns who come every day even change the sheets and mattress. After getting familiar with it, they even start giggling and whispering as they carry them downstairs: “Wow, this one is really wet today,” or "Even more exaggerated than yesterday..." and so on.

My face, my pride, my dignity, all gone.

Shen Qingrui often looked at me, making sure I wasn't trying anything funny. However, she rarely mocked or taunted me, after all, with my brother around, she knew he wouldn't back down from a verbal fight.

I told Jiang Qiyun that I would be going back at the end of the month. He frowned, and finally agreed—this was the first time I had experienced the power of a whisper in someone's ear.

The Shen family sent us back to our shop in their car. Our shop had been closed for a long time, leading the neighbors to think we had gone out of business. My brother called Chen Lao and Da Bao over to help clean the place, and then he sent me to check on Old Lady Wu's health.

As Jiang Qiyun was accompanying me, I was just about to pull out the five Emperor coins to knock on the door, when he suddenly flung open the glass door with a whoosh.

The black cat behind the door let out a ghostly hiss and pounced. He snapped his two fingers, and the black cat flew back into the house, landing on the ground with smoke coming from its forehead.

I screamed in fright and rushed in to pick up the black cat. It was Old Mrs. Hei's most important companion. If Jiang Qiyun had managed to harm it, how could I possibly apologize!

The black cat used to be fierce and arrogant towards me, but now it's hiding in my arms, very docile. It has smoke coming out of its forehead and is fearfully staring at Jiang Qiyun.

"You're here…" The old woman trembled as she walked out of the kitchen in the back, going to pour some water.

I said somewhat reluctantly, "Why don't you come live with us At least someone would take care of you in daily life. You see, you even have to do it yourself when you want a glass of water, how tiring that must be."

The old woman was taken aback for a moment, then cackled with glee, "This little girl has such a kind heart. Being a mother truly softens one."

Her eyes looked toward the door. Jiang Qiyun stood there. The room was truly small and cramped, stiflingly crowded. Jiang Qiyun didn't want to come in.

The old woman seemed to sense something, smiling and gesturing for me to sit down: "Come, let me take a look at your body... Have you been feeling unwell lately"

"No, it was just the other night... I felt it move." I answered, forcing a brave front.

She nodded. "It's about time... um"

A hint of confusion crossed the old woman's eyes, her face etched with wrinkles furrowing further.

My heart pounded like a drum. I glared at Jiang Qiyun standing in the doorway, terrified that the old woman would say, "I told you not to have relations and you didn't listen. Now you've got yourself into trouble!"

The old woman muttered to herself: "Slipping numbers rush and press, pressing without cessation, right pulse rapid and floating large... Could it be..."

"What is it" I asked cautiously.

She smiled and said, "I can't say about others, but you don't mind. According to the pulse, this kind of pulse should belong to a girl."

"Oh…" I couldn't help but smile.

I don't know why I laugh, maybe it's in my nature. When I hear about the unborn child in my belly, I can't help but laugh.

"Girl, hand me your left hand..." The old woman took my left hand again.

Her aged face grew increasingly solemn.

"Don't scare me, what's wrong" I felt a jolt of fear and almost fainted.

She gave me a long, hard look and said: “When a woman is pregnant for four months, a left pulse ailment indicates a boy, a right pulse ailment indicates a girl, and both ailments indicate twins…”

I stared at her blankly.

"Again Yun said: 'The pulse on the left hand is deep and solid in males, while the pulse on the right hand is floating and large in females… Just now I felt your right hand, the pulse was quick and floating… Now, I feel your left hand, it's quick but solid… Could it be twins'"

I looked at Jiang Qiyun by the door. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed too.

If you were an ordinary person, you'd probably be so excited you'd jump up and down, or even cry tears of joy, right

But for him and me, this is not good news.

Because this child's fate only lasts until a month later, what to do if there is one more To sacrifice both!

Jiang Qiyun almost immediately raised his hand and made a spell. A gust of cold wind swept through the room, blowing the old lady's eyes shut. I quickly helped her sit down in the rocking chair.

Just as I was about to say a few words to Jiang Qiyun, a respectful ghost appeared. The ghost wore an official robe and a black gauze hat, looking very high-ranking… Which high-level bureaucrat from the Underworld is this

The ghost said that the Book of Life and Death only recorded living beings from the mortal world. The Empress was no longer on the list, so her life could not be examined.

What does it mean Even the underworld doesn't know if there's one or two children in its belly
