Lu Fenying had mixed feelings. He didn’t know if he should be glad that Xiao Xiao wasn’t dead.

  Mo Qian’er still didn’t know about her condition. If she found out, he didn’t know how she would feel.

  If she couldn’t have another baby after giving birth, what reason could he use to keep her by his side?

  The noble families of Heavenly Wind Empire were annoying enough as it was.

  Frustrated, Lu Fenying went to the pink cottage. He had to look for Gu Bailu; that woman had a lot of ideas.

  After Gu Bailu and Feng Qingtian had breakfast, Feng Qingtian went to the study to deal with some matters. Gu Bailu was about to visit Qian’er in the northern courtyard and ask her if she wanted to go back tomorrow. More than that, she wanted to know what rights Qian’er wanted to have when she went back.

  She would help Qian’er negotiate with Lu Fenying.

  Who would have thought that Lu Fenying would look for her first?

  “Your Highness, what wind brings you to my courtyard?” Gu Bailu smiled brilliantly.

  Lu Fenying entered and sat down. “Go ask Xiao Xiao if he has a solution for Mo Qian’er’s body.”


  Gu Bailu raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, “Your Highness, you almost killed him, and now you want him to treat your woman? Are you going to beat him up again?”


  Lu Fenying looked at her coldly. “He deserved the beating. Don’t tell me you don’t know?”


  “It isn’t about whether he deserved it or not. The woman you don’t cherish will naturally be cherished by someone else. Do you love Qian’er now?”


  Gu Bailu asked the question bluntly.

  Face cold, Lu Fenying didn’t say anything. He was here to tell Gu Bailu that Xiao Xiao could treat Mo Qian’er.

  He knew that Gu Bailu had a way to convince Xiao Xiao to treat Mo Qian’er.

  He also knew that Gu Bailu absolutely wanted Mo Qian’er to get better.

  Women’s feelings were truly mystical. They had only known each other for a short time, but they were already so close.

  He found it odd, however, that Su Muwei and Mo Qian’er didn’t get along.

  “You’re using Qian’er against me.” Gu Bailu sniffed. “You’ll have to wait until Xiao Xiao himself recovers before he can treat Qian’er, since refining pills require spiritual power. However, aren’t you planning to go back tomorrow?”


  Naturally, Gu Bailu couldn’t stop him.

  Now that she knew that Qian’er was carrying Lu Fenying’s only child, Gu Bailu didn’t dare stop him from taking her away.

  Like he said, the only thing she could do now was to help fight for Qian’er’s happiness.

  “If he says there’s a way, I can consider postponing our departure,” Lu Fenying said reluctantly.

  Gu Bailu smiled. “Then I’ll ask him later. However, Your Highness, how many heirs do you want?”


  Lu Fenying asked coldly, “What?”


  “You’re in such a hurry to cure Qian’er. Isn’t it because you want her to have more babies?”


  Lu Fenying looked at her coldly and pursed his lips without saying anything.

  Gu Bailu was amused. “I think you should be nicer to the woman who can bear you children. Without her, your family line will be broken.”


  Lu Fenying looked at her. “What are you trying to say?”


  “She’s bearing you a baby. Shouldn’t you give her some status? In the future, do you want people to say that a slave gave birth to your child?”


  “They dare?” Lu Fenying frowned. Who would dare say that about his baby?

  “Of course they wouldn’t dare say it in front of you, but behind your back is another thing. The people of Heavenly Wind Empire won’t dare say it, but how about the people of Southern Glory and Rising Clouds?”


  Lu Fenying frowned even more deeply. “The slave mark on Mo Qian’er cannot be undone. She’s destined to bear the identity of a slave. Even if I give her a title, she won’t be rid of the slave mark.”
