After Kicking Over the Scumbag, the Whole City Wants to Marry Me

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.

But strangely today, his master happened to meet Jiang Yin under the corridor, he didn’t know if it was a coincidence.

Jiang Yin had just returned from outside, looking a little disheveled.

He thought that when Jiang Yin saw him, he would turn and leave as usual.

But unexpectedly, he walked directly towards his master. After a while, he smiled and said, "Zhao Heir, guess who I met today?"

His master didn't speak, but he could see the smugness in Jiang Yin's eyes. He said he had met his wife.

At that time, he saw his master's face turn gloomy rapidly.

But Jiang Yin didn't stop. He seemed to have said something else to his master in a low voice.

He didn't hear it clearly at the time, but he could feel that although his master's expression had not changed, after Jiang Yin left, his body released a chilling aura that made people shudder.

Combined with the news he had just heard from his subordinates, he was already quite sure that there were complex connections between this Jiang Yin... and his wife.

Maybe those rumors about his wife in Bianjing were true.

His wife was in love with Jiang Yin first, and later married his master when she failed.

But his wife was too bold. They were already married yet she still dared to meet privately with Jiang Yin. Did she think his master’s nickname as the cold-faced King of Hell was for nothing?

"Master." Huai Bi said hesitantly.

Zhao Changdu impatiently raised his eyes, "Speak."

Since parting with Jiang Yin today, the atmosphere in Qingjiang Manor was already so low that no one dared to breathe loudly.

Huai Bi took a deep breath. They were responsible for guarding his wife. They should tell their master about everything related to his wife, otherwise if something really happened to his wife, or she had an affair with Jiang Yin behind his master’s back, the four of them would be punished even if they died a hundred times.

So he told everything his subordinate had reported today, "Master, his wife didn't stay at Ning's house this afternoon... She pretended to go out from Ning's house and wandered around town for a while, throwing us off. Later, Huai Yun saw his wife and Jiang Yin come out of Qingyang Inn one after the other. After Jiang Yin left, his wife went to more than a dozen drug stores..."

When he heard this, Zhao Changdu paused holding his wolf-hair brush.

After a long time, he knitted his brows, "What medicine did Gu Ying buy?"

His master's aura was too strong. An intense pressure came from above, and Huai Bi nervously swallowed, "She bought Heavenly Flower Powder, musk, safflower, peach kernel, rhizome atractylodes, cnidium monnieri, blister beetle, root of kudzuvine, and more than a dozen kinds of blood circulation and decongestant, diuretic and anti-edema medicines. Although his wife didn't buy all the medicines she needed at one drug store at a time, his subordinate saw... these medicines seemed to be used by pregnant women to induce miscarriage..."

"Pa!"

Zhao Changdu's expression was cold. He threw the brush heavily on the book case.

Huai Bi secretly raised his head to see his master's extremely fierce eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head again, frightened and retreated several steps. When he raised his head again, the study was already empty.

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?"
