The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife
Chapter 180: You’re Pregnant!

Chapter 180: You’re Pregnant!

In the end, they chose to sleep in separate beds.

One on the bed, the other on the futon.

But Ye Siheng deliberately moved the screen, sleeping on the futon, allowing him to gaze directly at Nanli’s peaceful sleeping face.

In the pitch-black darkness, his eyes softened even more.

Previously, despite his immense power and esteemed status, his heart had always felt empty.

However, now that she had become his wife, he finally experienced the feeling of his heart being filled.

A smile formed on his lips, as he believed this to be the happiest and most blissful moment of his life.

In the State of Qi, at the Taixu Temple.

All four lamps had extinguished.

White-Browed Daoist stared at those lamps throughout the night, motionless.

The young disciples were somewhat frightened, occasionally approaching to check on him.

When the first ray of sunlight shone into the hall, the Crown Prince of Qi finally arrived.

Entering the main hall, he saw the exhausted and desolate expression on the Daoist’s face, feeling a pang of sympathy.

He spoke, "Master, please accept my condolences."

When a person dies, the lamps go out; he understood this.

He never expected that the disciples whom White-Browed Daoist had painstakingly taught would all perish in the Mu Nation.

His eyelashes trembled, and he opened his eyes, his voice filled with exhaustion, "Your Highness, this humble Daoist, as a teacher, was too weak. I am truly unworthy of being a mentor."

The Crown Prince offered incense, looking at the Sanqing Immortal, a cold smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"She has always been able to turn danger into safety, which shows that she is blessed by the heavens. Master, you should take a temporary rest."

Although the Mu Nation had suffered some losses, its foundation remained intact.

On the contrary, his own plans in the Mu Nation had been uprooted, and Ming Xu and the others had perished.

He had almost no one left to rely on here, so he couldn’t allow White-Browed Daoist to leave in pursuit of revenge.

"I... am troubled in my heart!" the Daoist said.

Not to mention his eldest disciple, even Zhou Min, his fourth disciple, had been studying the Dao with him for twenty years.

They were disciples, but they were more like his children!

"Just endure it for now," the Crown Prince said.

"When this Crown Prince’s cultivation reaches its peak, there will be no need to fear those people from the Mu Nation. Master, you should trust this Crown Prince."

He pondered for a moment, looking at the Crown Prince.

His face was gentle and handsome, like jade, but his gaze was like that of a venomous snake, as if one more glance would be lethal.

He thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, that is a forbidden ancient technique..." He still wanted to advise him.

The Crown Prince lifted his chin slightly, still looking at the Sanqing Immortal, his eyes filled with disdain.

"What does it matter if it’s forbidden? If I can master it, it will allow this Crown Prince to live forever, and no one in the world will be my match. Unifying the world will be an effortless task." He turned around, his voice slow, "Besides, this Crown Prince has already taken the first step and can no longer turn back."

The White-Browed sighed, knowing that this was the reality, and he no longer tried to persuade him.

Moreover, he also wanted to avenge his disciples.

Once the Crown Prince’s grand plan succeeded, what could Chu Nanli, that little girl, do to resist?

With this in mind, White-Browed Daoist smiled faintly, "Then I will wholeheartedly assist Your Highness."

After Nanli married into the Mansion of Price Yu, the brothers of the Anyang Marquis’ residence were in a gloomy mood for two days. It wasn’t until the third day, when their sister was about to return, that they finally came back to life.

Early in the morning, they dressed themselves up and sat in the main hall, waiting for their sister and brother-in-law to arrive.

Fortunately, Nanli also missed her family and arrived at the Anyang Marquis’ residence early.

As soon as the carriage arrived, a servant went to inform the main hall.

In just a moment, the brothers all came out and crowded at the entrance, waiting.

Nanli was startled when she got off the carriage.

"Younger sister!" Chu Ye approached, and the other brothers squeezed in, pushing Ye Siheng aside.

Upon seeing her brothers, Nanli smiled brightly, "Eldest brother, second brother..."

She addressed each of them.

The five brothers of Chu Ye were as sweet as honey, with smiles on their faces. Chu Ye said, "Grandmother and our parents are waiting for you in the main hall. Let’s go in quickly."

Nanli nodded. She had missed her parents for two days, and she was also eager to see them.

But she turned back and glanced at Ye Siheng. Ye Siheng nodded slightly, indicating that she should go in first and not worry too much about him.

Qing Feng, on the other hand, was displeased with the behavior of the brothers of the Chu family.

"They have no sense of etiquette, leaving the prince waiting here."

Clearly, they still harbored some hostility towards the prince.

"I married their beloved sister, so it’s normal for them to act this way." Ye Siheng didn’t mind and leisurely followed behind, entering the Marquis Mansion.

Although Nanli walked ahead, she still waited for Ye Siheng in front of the main hall. The two of them entered together and greeted the old lady and the Chu Hanlin couple.

Nanli’s pupils were clear and bright, and her fair and flawless skin had a hint of rosy hue.

She was wearing a pale pink embroidered floral dress, with a golden hairpin inserted in her hair. Although she lacked extravagant decorations, she had a string of pearls hanging around her neck, emitting a faint halo, making her look even more delicate and beautiful.

Chu Shuo was a discerning person and secretly sighed at how many precious things there were in the Mansion.

Such pearls couldn’t be bought even with money. They were exclusively for the royal family.

When the old lady and the others saw Nanli’s radiant appearance, they knew that Nanli and her husband were getting along well, and she was living a comfortable life in the Ye Siheng’s residence.

Everyone felt relieved and let go of their worries.

There was still some time before lunch, so Shen called her daughter to the side hall and had the servants bring her favorite red date cake and other pastries. She kept saying that Nanli looked thinner after not seeing her for two days.

Nanli twitched her mouth.

She swore on her conscience that she had been eating and drinking well in these past two days, and her waist had even gotten plumper.

When she left in the morning, she firmly told Ye Siheng that she couldn’t eat too much.

But now, the red date cake on the table was beckoning to her.

Xiao Wanyi handed her the chopsticks and smiled, "Have a taste, Mother made it early in the morning."

Mother made it herself?

In that case, Nanli couldn’t refuse.

She took the chopsticks and happily started eating, "Thank you, Mother."

Shen smiled gently, "If you like it, I’ll have someone send it to the Mansion of Prince Yu in the future."

"No need to trouble yourself." Nanli hurriedly said, "The palace also has skilled pastry chefs."

They were personally selected and hired by Ye Siheng.

Mrs. Shen’s eyes turned slightly red, sighing in her heart.

Her daughter had just returned, and she hadn’t had a chance to dote on her properly before she got married within a year.

Nanli was about to comfort Shen, but Xiao Wanyi happened to stand up and brought her a bowl of milk. Nanli’s eyes narrowed, and she said, "Sister-in-law, you’re pregnant!"

Xiao Wanyi was stunned, her body froze, and she couldn’t react, "Wh... what?"

She was pregnant?!

Nanli looked serious, "Yes, you’re pregnant. Judging from the situation, it should be over a month."

She hadn’t noticed before because the fetus was too small, and its spiritual energy hadn’t manifested yet.
