The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 414 - 413 Sprouting

Chapter 414: Chapter 413 Sprouting

Si Yuting’s heart skipped a beat as he unconsciously tightened his grip on the hand he was holding.

"There’s nothing amiss," Si Yuting said, stroking Niannian’s head and purposely softening his voice to coax, "Niannian, tell your Uncle Emperor what happened to you and your aunt later on. Can you tell me everything?"

"Stop touching me. Your hand is not nearly as soft as Auntie’s," Niannian protested, reaching for Si Yuting’s hand with a pout, "I’ll tell you, okay?"

Si Yuting: "..."

Niannian recounted truthfully what happened after the ship had started, albeit in fits and starts, but one could roughly make out the details.

When Si Yuting heard that Qu Tong had been in an enclosed space for two to three hours, his limbs went cold.

He didn’t know it would be like this.

He shouldn’t have.

How is Ali doing now?

When Si Yuting left Niannian’s room, his spine remained erect, and his pace, usually steady, was now a few steps more hurried than usual.

The Crown Princess Consort watched with puzzlement as Si Yuting walked past her without greeting her as usual and proceeded to enter.

"Niannian, did you upset your Uncle Emperor?"

Niannian felt wronged, "I didn’t. It was Uncle Emperor who lost Auntie."

Lost? Lost what?

The Crown Princess Consort was somewhat confused.

From the evidence at the scene, it seemed that Tongtong had killed the Star Thief and left. How could that be called missing?

And both Si Yuting and Feng Lin had said that Qu Tong was unfathomably strong, and dealing with those Star Thieves wouldn’t be an issue, which is why they weren’t overly worried.

The Crown Princess Consort suspected that there was something amiss with Niannian’s statement and instructed Niannian to personally prepare a gift as a sign of gratitude for the aunt.

After returning the Space Buttons to their rightful owners, excluding Qu Tong’s, Si Yuting obtained the flight recorder of the Venomous Snake Pirate Group’s ship from Feng Lin and discovered something else.

His subordinates quickly brought back news that Ali was not with Elder Yuan.

That evening, Si Yuting escorted the Crown Princess Consort and Niannian back to the Capital Star.

Si Yuting went to the Imperial Palace ahead of the others to report to Si Chen.

After reporting the situation on E12 Star, Si Yuting requested to personally investigate the clue about the prohibited drugs in the Kasa Empire.

Si Chen was somewhat surprised, "Is the matter with the Insect Clan taken care of?"

"The investigation is almost done. The remaining matters can be handed over to the police; Cheng Feng will specifically oversee it. There shouldn’t be any major issues," Si Yuting replied composedly.

"Don’t think I’m unaware that you want to go looking for your wife," Si Chen said, displeased.

"Yes," Si Yuting admitted openly, without any attempt to hide it.

Upon hearing this, Si Chen resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "Tongtong is friends with the ninth princess of Casa, so it makes sense for them to go on an excursion together. Are you in such a hurry to follow because you’re afraid your wife will run away?"

Si Yuting pressed his lips together but did not respond.

Indeed, as Lingling had said.

His proudest son was being tightly held by the grips of a young girl.

However, this girl was truly exceptional, full of surprising delights.

Who knows what other surprises await them.

"Go if you want," Si Chen said.

He sighed, unable to fully blame him—this aspect of his character, at least, was somewhat influenced by himself and was not entirely bad.

Besides, with this kid’s adamant nature, he would find a way to go even if Chen didn’t agree.

"Thank you, Father," Si Yuting expressed his gratitude before leaving.

After exiting the Imperial Palace, Si Yuting began to handle the travel formalities.

The remnants of the Casa Empire’s second prince and the Grand Princess were not yet completely dealt with, so the border control was rather strict; otherwise, he would have already gone directly to the Kasa Empire.

Si Yuting managed to complete the travel formalities in half a day and then went to the police to hand over his tasks to Feng Haoran.

Feng Haoran would be back from a mission soon, and Si Yuting didn’t bother going to the teahouse, instead finding a corner to sit down right in the hall.

"Buzzzz—" The light brain vibrated.

Si Yuting opened it, having guessed it wouldn’t be Ali, yet still felt somewhat disappointed.

Jiang Zhou: "I’ve sent the information to your email in the form of a letter, please check it."

"Regulating irregular menstruation is not within my expertise, so it took me longer."

"Attached to the back of the materials is the business card of a gynecologist expert I consulted. The Grand Marshal can add it when you have time. From now on, you can directly ask them, professional matters should be left to professionals."

Jiang Zhou was all but saying, don’t come to me with these issues anymore.

After reading it, Si Yuting replied succinctly: "Thank you for the trouble."

Then he opened the email to check the plan Jiang Zhou had organized for him.

Not long after, Jiang Zhou forwarded a link with a note: "Grand Marshal, there’s a discussion about fertility value on the Star Network you might want to see. It seems to be related to your wife’s farm, as the Gene Bank is conducting a study in collaboration with Central Hospital."

As soon as Si Yuting heard it was related to Qu Tong, he clicked in.

The post was from a netizen boasting about their fertility value that hadn’t changed for over thirty years, only to find at a recent medical exam that it had increased by two points.

Underneath, many people were saying they had the same experience, showing off their own medical reports.

"What a coincidence, mine went up a little recently too. Although it’s not much, I’m very happy."

"I was feeling a sore throat yesterday and also got a check-up, guess what I found out?"

"You didn’t get diagnosed with late-stage cancer, did you?"

"Spit it out! Bad luck be gone! When I saw my check-up results, oh my! My fertility value actually increased by three points, breaking through 40!"

"Really? You’re not a shill for some medical facility, are you?"

"It’s true! My mother is almost seventy and hers even went up by one point!"

"Now that you mention it, I remember a friend told me her fertility value went up too."

"One or two might be a fluke, so many people, now that’s a bit mystical."

The increases were all small, ranging from a single point to a maximum of four or five points.

Si Yuting’s initial reaction was that this was a marketing ploy paid for by some new medical facility.

But as he read on, the direction of the discussions shifted.

Even if it was just an advertisement, many people couldn’t help but be curious, asking for ways to increase their fertility values.

Those who were sharing their check-up reports also claimed they were unaware.

Eventually, after some discussion, it was found that these people had one thing in common: they all enjoyed eating Qu Tong’s Energy Fruits and Vegetables and often purchased them.

Although this was only one speculation, fertility value has always been a hot topic, naturally catching official attention.

The speaker was unguarded, the listener intentional.

After reading through, Si Yuting felt inexplicably restless.

Thinking back to his young wife’s unusual behavior, excessive sleepiness, vomiting, refusal to be intimate...

An idea began to take root in his mind.

Once it took root, it grew uncontrollably.

Could it be that Ali had also noticed something, which is why she had asked him if he had a check-up?

Si Yuting placed his hand over his heart, where his heartbeat was racing, as if something was stirring, ready to burst out of his chest.

But the moment he thought of his and Ali’s current state, it was as though a bucket of cold water doused all over him, extinguishing the glimmer of hope in his heart.

Falling from the clouds into the abyss was probably what he felt right now.

Switching back to Ali’s chat interface, the background image was warm and bright, but his heart was heavy.

Ali, very soon!

I’ll come looking for you very soon.

As soon as Feng Haoran returned, even though Wu Yue’s escort team for the Crown Princess Consort hadn’t yet reached Capital Star, Si Yuting had already arranged everything and left.
