Chapter 275
Ning Si's originally sleepy eyes dimmed silently when she heard this. "...Gu Ying, I..."
Gu Ying held her warm little hand and comforted, "I know you are very scared and flustered now, but for your future life, we can only act decisively."
Ning Si lowered her long lashes, looking rather depressed, and put her other hand on her flat little belly, unable to say how she felt at the moment.
With eyes rimmed red, she raised her face and forced a smile, "Gu Ying, I just feel weird. I clearly had nothing before, but now that I know I'm carrying a child in my belly... Although it's still small, it's also a living life...so I have complicated feelings."
Gu Ying encouraged, "Don't be afraid. One bowl of medicine and it will all be over."
Ning Si raised her glistening tearful eyes, "Okay..."
Seeing that Ning Si's mood was still relatively stable, Gu Ying got up, "You lie down first, and I'll come to you after I bathe."
Ning Si blinked her dazed eyes and nodded slightly.
Gu Ying knew she was upset, but things were already like this, there was really no way.
She sighed, went out the door, closed the door again, then took clean clothes and walked to the bathing clean room...
...
Qingjiang Manor.
In the dusk, the air was filled with the unique smell of spring grass. A black figure quietly landed in the largest main courtyard of the manor.
"Master."
"Come in."
The person came in, the voice was so small it was barely audible.
Zhao Changdu sat behind the book case and glanced at him, asking lightly, "Where's Jiang Yin?"
Huai Bi said, "He went to Shu Prince's room. There are several top masters guarding it and I couldn't get close."
Zhao Changdu was dealing with all the government affairs since the Yueyang snow disaster. The books and scrolls on the case were piled up like a mountain. Before he came, no one had dealt with these things at all. The whole mess was left in the government office by Shu Prince and the others. The entire Yueyang’s government affairs were neglected and the people were panicking because of the plague.
With an extremely cold and abstinent face under the candlelight, he looked like a god.
But Huai Bi was holding his breath and standing cautiously in the study, unsure whether to say something about his wife.
After all, this afternoon, his master had walked past Jiang Yin in the Yueyang government office.
The usually timid Jiang Yin had always hid under Shu Prince's wings. He and his brothers had squatted for a long time but failed to catch him. Later someone powerful came to Jiang Yin and it became even harder to get close to him.
Huai Bi: "..."
It's over, his wife was done for.
...
Gu Ying comfortably took a hot bath.
Without Yin Lan's service beside her, she touched her slightly bulging belly, and her actions became more and more careful.
Today, if Jiang Yin's blow had hit her belly, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Gu Ying's eyes turned cold.
Thinking that the baby was still safe in her belly, she couldn't help revealing a gentle smile at the corners of her lips.
It was her first time being a mother. She knew nothing.
She had to guard against Jiang Yin and take care of the Heir. Her days were messy.
But now staring at her belly, she felt nothing else mattered. The baby's safety was most important.
She carefully climbed out of the bathtub, and was about to take the towel to dry herself when she suddenly heard the bath door pushed open violently.
She hurried to take the clothes placed to the side and asked vigilantly, "Who is it?"
The door was pushed open, then slammed shut with a bang.
The chill seeped in from the cracks in the door. The person moved extremely fast. A black shadow flashed.
Before Gu Ying could react, her slender wrist was gripped tightly by a bony big hand.
The person was incredibly strong.
Her wrist was pinched so hard that the bones almost cracked.
Gu Ying was furious with shame. She frowned as she was about to struggle but met a pair of sharp and gloomy phoenix eyes.
The man stared straight at her with icy cold eyes, almost freezing over.
"Gu Ying, what right do you have to do this!"
This pained and angry question silenced all words in Gu Ying's throat as she froze for a moment, "Zhao Du, why are you here?"
"If I didn't come, when would you have kept it from me?"
