196 ear chamber

e way to Putuo Temple, I was sitting in the passenger seat. Without a big belly, it felt so good!My brother hasn't adjusted yet, he still occasionally glances at my belly with a cautious look."Xiao Qi...At night, I slept alone. Jiang Qiyun probably was still looking for clues from that ghost exorcist. His absence made me feel very uncomfortable. I tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep soundly. My thoughts were a jumbled mess as I drifted in and out of sleep.

As the night wore on, I felt a heaviness behind me, the familiar scent of Jiang Qiyun settling around my back. He pulled me into his arms.

The sky was almost light, what was he still running around for... He could just sleep at the Yinjing Heavenly Palace.

I chuckled twice, and he grumbled, reaching out to pinch me.

"... What are you laughing at"

"It's nothing. I thought you wouldn't be back tonight." I pulled my neck in, his breath making me itch a little: "Did that ghostbuster give us any useful information"

"Hmm." Jiang Qiyun didn't want to discuss this with me. He held my shoulders and turned me around, stroking down from my stomach.

I thought he was going to do it, but who knew his hand stopped on his stomach and suddenly asked: "…When did you get pregnant"

"You're the father, and you don't even know How do you expect me to know The old woman said it was around July, but who knows the exact date Even normal children aren't that punctual."

I remember Jiang Qiyun called the judge to review my life. The judge replied that Xiao Niang (meaning "little empress") was no longer on the Book of Life and Death. Later, Jiang Qiyun gave me a blood oath, so I could not reincarnate normally. This means there really is an all-knowing and omnipotent deity who has already erased my existence.

The Book of Life doesn't list names, so I have no idea when I'll die or when my child will be born. However, Old Woman Wu has delivered ghost children before and is more experienced, so what she says should be right.

"July..." Jiang Qiyun placed her hand over her abdomen, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. "It's not long now. You said you were going to handle your leave of absence and all that, do it soon. Don't wander off this time, make sure your brother or I accompany you whenever you go out."

"Well...maybe we don't have to go to school"

“You never listen properly.” He pinched me with a hint of punishment: “A divine messenger, Tai Yi’s little acolyte, came to say that the yin and yang energies of your spiritual fetus are imbalanced, so you're growing slowly. Afterward, I'll try my best to stay by your side.”

"How long will it be" A flicker of hope, a small wish, stirred in my heart.

"What"

"Before the baby is born, will you spend more time with me Or will you spend more time with me after the baby is born"

Don't expect him to answer this kind of question verbally; he usually expresses himself through actions.

My heart submitted, my body was almost unable to resist.

"...Little Qiao."

"Hm" I replied softly. He rarely called me that.

He said nothing more, as if he had only called out to me once.

Sometimes I truly can't understand, why his skin is so cold, and yet I find myself swept up in a frenzy like wildfire by him

Hearing him call my name, a low whisper of "wife," I could tremble like a cloud descending.

Hearts are in turmoil, bodies consumed by passion.

"The Divine One said, 'I do not love the Immortal Palace Garden, and am alone in the embrace of tenderness. It is truly so.'"

I'm so sorry

》》》

At the beginning of the school year, I applied for leave of absence to the head of the department. He looked conflicted and said to me, "Mu Xiaoqiao, you actually don't need to take a leave of absence. Your situation is known to the school leaders. We can get you an exchange study quota, and then we'll just record the credits for you. Your diploma and degree certificate will be the same."

I stared at him dumbfounded, unable to figure out why he was treating me so well. I couldn't help but ask, "Director, why did you open this back door for me One, I'm not a relative of any school leader, and two, I haven't given any gifts to the leaders..."

The director's face stiffened for a moment, and he gave a strained smile: "That said... Mr. Lin had already greeted the school and education bureau leaders. He donated a building to the school, and the headmaster personally assured me that your credits are absolutely fine, after all, you have a mission on hand now..."

Do you have a mission I stared at him in terror. How did he know about my business Could Lin Yanhuan have told someone

The headmaster sighed, "If it were any other female student who was pregnant, I'd scold her and call her parents for a meeting. But you... well, this is also considered a contribution to the party and the country, so we definitely have to cooperate..."

To contribute to the Party and the country!

I was completely dumbfounded and froze in place.

Could breaking Huang Dao Cun's formation be considered a huge contribution to social stability Is it that the state has dealt with a difficult internal threat that cannot be made public

"All in all, Principal Lin has already greeted you. You don't need to go through the process of taking a leave of absence. If you don't want to come to class, that's fine too. No one will mark your attendance, so rest assured and take good care of yourself at home." The head teacher said very considerately.

I was still confused when I left the office. What on earth happened Did Lin Yanhuan donate a building to the school Was he burning money, or was it for me...

This person owed me a favor and I wasn't happy about it. I walked ahead with my head down, ignoring the people calling out to me behind me. Until a series of hurried high heels stopped beside me, I just blankly looked up.

"Ouch... Mu classmate, what's wrong with you I called you over and over but you didn't hear me... Let me run over in my heels."

This is... Teacher Xiaowang!

Teacher Xiao Wang got a short, neat haircut. I didn't recognize her at first.

"Oh... hello Teacher Xiao Wang, I'm so sorry, I was lost in thought and didn't hear you call me." I nodded at her.

She curled her lip and said, “Did you block me I called you and sent you WeChat messages, but you didn’t reply.”

I was taken aback. When did you call or message me

"...Isn't that right Your boyfriend doesn't want you to contact me, does he Does he look down on me too" Teacher Xiao Wang said with a wry smile.

"No, no." I awkwardly waved my hand. You know the truth of this situation better than anyone. How could I possibly answer

She said she had already moved out of the villa, asked a wealthy man for compensation on the grounds that she couldn't get pregnant, and then bought a small inn in an ancient town on the outskirts of the city, preparing to resign and become the proprietress.

Landlady

"...Who is the boss" I seemed to have caught the point.

Little Wang's face flushed slightly, and she whispered: "I met a man who likes *abuse love*, he treats me quite well, we decided to get married and run an inn ourselves."

Does it hurt you Is it because you feel sorry for me, or do you enjoy seeing me in pain

My stiffly said, "That...really is...congratulations..."

“Oh, you don't have to force yourself… I just wanted to ask you to take a look at the inn. A while back, a guest said he got sick after staying at our inn and demanded compensation. I think he’s trying to scam us! Ah, if your boyfriend was willing to come, that would be even better—”on.The Yin merchant family's karmic burdens would not be few. Even if they upheld benevolence and were careful, they inevitably encountered dangers that ordinary merchants couldn't even imagine.He doe...
