ew Year, and they haven't come back yet. I'm going to pick them up..." Old Chen said with a smile."Alright." I smiled and nodded, then took out a sealed red envelope. "New Year's red envelope, here yo...I stood under the eaves, dumbfounded.

Lin Yanqin and Mu Fu, she came to our home to recuperate. If something happens to the child, let alone any reputation or pressure, we would feel very guilty ourselves.

Master Yun Fan is such a good person, and he trusts us so much. He placed his wife under our care. Even Brother Jun secretly instructed the senior brothers and sisters to take turns guarding at night, just in case something happens.

Mrs. Mu seems to have some "heart troubles," but the situation is very mild. In my view, it's just a normal emotional change after pregnancy.

She probably took on the role of Yun Fan's master's behind-the-scenes assistant. Being pregnant, she should have been eating, sleeping, and enjoying herself in anticipation of the birth of her new life. However, she overthought things and stressed too much, which was not good for her mental and physical health as a pregnant woman.

My ninth senior brother was busy tinkering with his car, so I didn't have time to ask him more. I ran to my junior brother Jun's courtyard to find out what happened.

Your senior brother has already changed his clothes and looks like he's getting ready to go out.

"Junior brother, what's the situation with Madam Mu Why did she suddenly have to go to the hospital" I whispered.

His expression was not panicked at all, he calmly said: “The pulse of the fetus should be like a pearl rolling on a jade plate, either left or right, fast and strong. I took Mu's pulse every other day before, there was nothing unusual. Recently, in the last two times, I found that her pulse was slightly delayed. Just now, Madam Mu said she felt dizzy, suspecting she had anemia. After taking her pulse, I found something wasn't right, so I sent her to the hospital for a thorough examination.”

"Anemia That's impossible! With my fifth and sixth elder sisters, both experts in raising pigs, how could anyone in our family possibly be anemic!" I refused to believe it.

Before, Mrs. Mu suspected that there was a traitor in our family and she told me about it. Could it be true that someone has been secretly doing something

"A pig raising expert" Jun's senior brother glanced at me: "Then how come you haven't raised you and Yue's junior sister to be plumper Still so skinny."

Sweat... how can these even be compared

Brother Jun took the woolen coat from the hanger and put on his plain glasses, dressing like an ordinary doctor.

I'll go take a look now. You, little junior sister, don't come and cause trouble. No matter what happens, with the Lin family's and Mu family's wealth, and so many doctors in our family, nothing will happen.

"Alright, I'll stay home." I'm eager to see who acts out of character and reveals a clue.

Mulian always kept behind me. When he wasn't talking, he was truly silent. I couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Aren't you worried about Mrs. Mu at all"

"Worried" Mu Wanchen lightly shook his head. "That woman is very strong, there's no need to worry unnecessarily."

"How do you know"

"She had been given something by people within our sect before, although her body couldn't resist it, the deepest part of her consciousness didn't fall. This shows that deep down inside, she is a very resilient woman..."

Mu Wanchen paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Venomous insects like these can sometimes confuse the mind, but they can also reveal a person's true inner nature."

"Then you must have put a curse on me." I said with a smile.

“I don’t.” He frowned slightly, answering seriously.

"If you hadn't put a love potion on me, I wouldn't have been so hopelessly smitten with you, forgetting everything and marrying you without hesitation to become your witch wife!" I said with a playful smile.

Mu Wanchen stopped his steps and fell behind.

When I turned back, the night was like water.

The lanterns hanging in the corridor swayed in the night wind, their warm light spreading out like ripples.

Flames of candles flicker.

He frowned slightly, his tall and slender figure half-lit, half-shadowed.

Such afterglow brushed past his face, his deep and handsome features were beautiful like a painting.

But even the most imaginative paintings can't capture the indescribable aura of a silent and mysterious man.

"I didn't poison you, Yin Luo."

"Uh"

"The one who lost their composure... was me."

I was a little surprised and at a loss.

How can he be so serious

I've gotten used to speaking without being too formal, and I've become a bit spoiled.

I never imagined a marriage life like "舉案齊眉, 以夫為天," where my partner would definitely be the one being dominated by me.

But Mu Wanchen is obviously not easy to bully. What if he beats me Not to mention beating me, even if he gave me a poison or a curse, I couldn't stand it.

"Little Lu'er, Sihuang will come to find you. She should feel the same uneasy premonition as me, a feeling that grows stronger with each passing day... If it were I of old, nothing except for the Female Gu could shake my heart. But now, things are different..."

He looked grave and spoke with utmost seriousness.

I whispered, "How is it different now..."

Mu Wanchen lowered his gaze and looked at me. After a long pause, he smiled helplessly.

He raised his hand and pinched my chin, his fingertips, slightly rough, gently stroking my jaw and the corners of my lips.

“…I always have to lower my head to look at you; I always have to bend over to kiss you. When you do things too much, your mind gets confused.”

"Whatever, love is never logical. Master has lived for millennia, overlooking the world and watching the cycle of reincarnation. If even Master could be swayed by love, what makes you think your cultivation surpasses his"

My face was flushed, and I couldn't meet his gaze. I could only mutter and avert my eyes slightly.

"Yeah... I'm starting to hesitate now. When I do anything, I think of your existence." Mu Wanchen smiled self-deprecatingly.

I couldn't help the smile that curved my lips, reaching out to embrace Mu Wanchen's waist.

This is a good thing for me, but maybe it's a trouble for him.

A solitary leader who is no longer ruthless may find it difficult to adjust.

The night wind was cold, I just wanted to stay in his arms for a while longer, but someone interrupted us!

"...love between family members, heroic spirit waning short. This is what it refers to, right"

This teasing remark came from the Moon Cave entrance in the distance.

I turned my head to see it was Long, my brother who was recovering from his injuries at home.

Long Xiaogē still had bandages on his hands. He raised his hand to indicate that he didn't mean to interrupt us: "I didn't mean to disturb your sweet moment, but haven't you noticed there's more than just me watching you"

What

I immediately looked up at Mu Wanchen.

He nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "It might be someone from your family. I didn't release the Gu spirits, and they've already left."

Long Xiao approached us, frowning. "I saw a dark figure scaling the wall into the neighbor's yard yesterday," he said. "But it vanished as soon as it landed. This must have been some kind of magic."

"Long Xiaoge, you're on the roof again" I looked at him helplessly.

"That's not important. What matters is that your home was invaded by magic, and everyone is still in the dark." Long Xiao said with a frown.

"My home isn't some dragon's lair or a mansion overflowing with riches. What would there be to invade"

"If the other party's goal isn't money, what if it's a person I just saw this last night. What kind of people live in the courtyard next to me" asked Long Ge.A few gulps of ice-cold water went down my throat, and my brain was also cooled down. I touched the part of my wrist that had been bitten by the strange man - the flesh was still there, but it left to...
