"Where's the Second Sister-in-Law?" As her body became heavier, it would become extremely difficult for Qin Wuya to walk one circle. Even though it was still the early spring snow, after walking two laps, layers of sweat started to form on Qin Wuya's forehead.

Fu Xi passed the kernels to wipe away the sweat stains on Qin Wuya's forehead and then said: "Second Young Madam said that she is going to the northwestern part of the country to deliver Second Young Master's clothes. I think it will be a bit late."

"Did anyone come with them?" With Fu Xi's help, they returned to the porch below the roof, then took a few red dates tea from the thermos and drank it. Qin Wuya asked again.

"Yes." Fu Xi said.

In regards to the situation in the front courtyard, Xu San would usually find time to explain in detail to Qin Wuya every single day. Because Qin Wuya had never avoided the topic, most of the people present, including Fu Xi, and the Madam Wei, knew about it as well.

"That's good." Qin Wuya nodded and did not ask further. She just felt a faint unease in her heart for some reason.

Actually, it was not the first time for the Zhang Family to go out for the past two months. After all, a large family like them could not stay in the courtyard to sell their food and drinks for themselves, right? Fortunately, Qin Wuya always had Xu San and his entourage follow behind them from a distance.

No matter what, the Clear Water Town was still Zhang Shan's territory, these people might not do anything during the day. Furthermore, Madam Zhang's attire was ordinary. Even if she were to leave, she would most likely be treated as an ordinary servant woman and wouldn't attract too much attention.

Returning to the house, Qin Wuya habitually laid on the bed for a moment, but today, she was still a little uneasy. Even her eyes were not as sleepy as usual, and after lying down for a while, Qin Wuya supported herself up and read the contents of the book.

After half of the story in the book, Qin Wuya felt that it was a little boring, so she casually threw it to the side and asked: "What time is it?"

"At the end of the year." Fu Xi said.

"Second Sister-in-Law is still not back?" Qin Wuya was curious.

Fu Xi shook his head: "Not yet."

"Since the Second Sister-in-Law is not here, then don't cook in the Kitchen today. Go inform the Sister-in-Law Wei and have her send this portion to the house. Also, remember to make some light ones and send it to the Old Mistress."

"Yes."

quickly retreated. Qin Wuya rubbed her slightly sore temples, and did not pick up the words to the side, she only looked out the window somewhat absentmindedly at the snow on the distant mountain.

I wonder how he's doing. According to his original plan, whether he succeeds or fails, there should be news about him in half a month.

Qin Wuya smiled slightly. Half a month was not considered long, she could only wait, but not sure if the little thing in her stomach could possibly wait.

Just as Qin Wuya was lost in thought, she heard a pampered voice coming from outside the room. Qin Wuya's expression froze for a moment, then she laughed out loud.

Sure enough, before Qin Wuya could even ask, the outer room's door was pushed open. Fu Zhi rushed into the house with a wooden tray in hand, and when he saw Qin Wuya, he said: "Madam, let me treat you to a meal."

"Where's Fu Xi?" Qin Wuya stood up and asked.

"There's soup in the kitchen. Aunt Wei could not leave, so Sister Fu Xi went to deliver the food to the madame."

Qin Wuya laughed: "If that's the case, then you eat with me."

"Thank you Madam." Fu Zhi chuckled, and then habitually sat down on the lower left of Qin Wuya.

Qin Wuya was not used to being served for meals, thus the two girls would normally serve for meals just to accompany Qin Wuya.

However, Fu Xi cautiously refused for a long time, while Fu Zhi did not care, as long as Qin Wuya opened her mouth sshe would immediately sit next to Qin Wuya, as he had been taught a lesson in the past when she was still in Wang Nu.

After eating the lunchtime diet, Qin Wuya went into the room to rest as usual, while Fu Zhi stayed outside to clean up the tableware. At this moment, a series of messy footsteps sounded out from outside the door.

Qin Wuya was startled, and was about to send Fu Xi out to have a look, when she saw that Xu San had already brought two youths dressed in black and blue from Chao Chung Hall into the inner room.

Xu San had been by Qin Wuya's side for a long time, and although he was petite, he had never been in the wrong. Now that he did not pass the message and quickly brought his men into the house, Qin Wuya's face slightly changed.

"Why are you here? Did something happen?!"

"Madam, things have changed. This subordinate will escort you to another place to hide. " Xu San's face was slightly pale.

Qin Wuya saw that Xu San's face did not look good, but his clothes were still undamaged. It was obvious that those people had not come knocking on his door yet, and he could not help but heave a sigh of relief, and asked:

"How many brothers are in the front yard?"

"Excluding the two who escorted the Second Madam out, there are a total of thirteen people." Xu Sanguan answered.

"How are the martial skills of these thirteen people?" Qin Wuya asked again.

Xu San was stunned, then said: "They are all experts in the hall."

Qin Wuya's face became serious, but she quickly recovered back to normal after a moment, and turned to Fu Zhi: Go and bring the old lady and young master to my house, and have Fu Xi and Sister-in-Law Wei come over as well.

"Yes." A trace of fear flashed across Fu Zhi's immature face, but he did not ask any more questions and quickly left.

Seeing Fu Zhi going out, Xu San's face slightly changed, and he spoke in a serious tone: "Madam, it's not good for everyone to gather in one place, I might as well send two brothers to escort the old lady and Fu Zhi and the others out. I will bring the remaining people along, and take advantage of the time when the thieves are still in the future to send Madam out of Clear Water Town."

"No need." Qin Wuya shook his head: "If you had told me about this technique last month, it would have been a pity, but now …"

With that, Qin Wuya pointed at her own stomach and laughed bitterly: "I am afraid that my body is not moving at all, why not stay in the house and wait."

Xu San was startled when he heard this. He immediately called for a person beside him. "Go, withdraw all the brothers who have stayed in the front yard!"

"Yes, third brother." A youth dressed in black took the order and left.

"Madam, please be at ease. With me, Xu San, here, I will definitely ensure that you are safe and sound." Seeing Qin Wuya's strange expression, Xu San said solemnly.

Qin Wuya protected her abdomen with one hand, while the other hand held onto the Sky Blue Luan Lamp that was placed on the couch tightly, the tea in the cup swaying. Upon hearing this, she gave a shallow smile and said, "Thank you, brothers."

It was unknown if it was because the little thing's mood had changed too much just now, but at this moment, the little thing that was originally living peacefully in its stomach suddenly jumped and kicked at him, bringing with it a faint pain filled with hope.

It was obviously not the time to be avoiding Xu San either. Qin Wuya bit her lower lip, and after she sat up with difficulty, she began to feel her abdomen through her clothes, and at the same time, slowly breathed in, forcing her heart to beat at a normal rate.

It should still be thirteen or fourteen days before the date of delivery, and didn't want this little thing to act up on a day like today that he had predetermined beforehand.

Not long after, Fu Zhi brought Fu Xi, Madam Wei, Madam Lin and Xiao Bao into the house.

The expression on the Madam Lin's face was clearly one of fear, but she was still relatively calm as the hand holding Xiao Bao slightly trembled.

Qin Wuya looked at Madam Wei, who took a few steps forward and said:

"Madame, let me carry the young master!"

"Alright." Madam Lin obviously knew that her current condition wasn't too good, so she didn't force the issue and handed Xiao Bao over to Madam Wei.

It was currently Xiao Bao's hour of rest so he could only mutter under his breath when he switched the body from Madam Lin to Madam Wei.

"Is everyone here?" Qin Wuya asked Xu San.

Xu San nodded. "They are waiting outside.

"Split two brothers, slip out the back door and bring a cart of wine nearby."

Feeling that the little thing inside his stomach had completely calmed down, Qin Wuya heaved a sigh of relief and turned to Xu San:

"Faster, remember to drink strong wine."

"Madam, what is this?"

Xu San was curious. There weren't many people in the courtyard, so it wouldn't be appropriate to send out another two.

"Don't ask too much, go and do it first. It will naturally be useful when the time comes." Qin Wuya's expression was calm, as she looked out of the window and spoke.

"Yes." Xu San didn't ask any more questions and backed out of the house.

After Xu San left, other than the soundly asleep Xiao Bao, only a group of women remained in the room. The atmosphere became heavy for a moment, and even the normally noisy Fu Zhi stood quietly by Fu Xi's side, head lowered, not saying a word.

"Don't worry, it will be fine." Qin Wuya forced out a smile, looked at the crowd and comforted them: "Don't worry, the people Xu San is leading are all good people."

Fu Zhi heard and nodded, then said seriously: "Madam, I will also protect you."

"We, Fu Zhi, are the strongest. I know." Qin Wuya laughed lightly, but it did not dampen Fu Zhi's enthusiasm.

In the past half year, Fu Zhi had learnt a few sets of martial arts from Xu San, and now was the perfect time to compare their strengths. If it were any normal street hoodlums, then there would not be enough lackeys for Fu Zhi to take action. But if it were those who ran away, then Fu Zhi's hands would be like a cat's, and they would be able to protect her as she ran out.

All the women in the room had their own thoughts, but they didn't know what to ask at this point. The atmosphere became even quieter.

Especially since Madam Lin was currently so nervous that she didn't even know where to put her hands and feet.

Qin Wuya looked at them and sighed, then said: "Mother, why don't you rest on my bed for a while."

"No …" "No need." Madam Lin shook her head, and said somewhat nervously after a long while: "Your Second Sister-in-Law, she is …"

Qin Wuya gave a shallow smile, "When Second Sister-in-Law goes out, there will be a brother following him, so mother need not worry."

"Then... "That's good." Madam Lin nodded and no longer said anything.

After about half a quarter of an hour, Xu San suddenly came in and said, "Madam, we've brought the wine over."

"Put these jars of wine about ten feet away from the door. Bring a few other brothers to the stove and bring some fire sticks over."

Qin Wuya squinted his eyes, and a trace of fierceness flashed across his eyes:

"If those ignorant fools really dare to come over, there's no need for you to do anything. All you need to do is to let our brothers smash them with wine jars. The more you smash them, the better."

Xu San's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Madam, you mean!"
