Xiao Pang glanced up at her, then quickly looked down again, avoiding her as if he'd been electrocuted.
Tang Zhuyun: Is she really that repulsive?
Forget it, if he doesn't like her, so be it. Anyway, she probably doesn't like him either.
No, whether she liked him or not, she was scheming against him...
"Xiu'er, serve... the dishes!"
Red umbrella, white pole, let's talk after we finish eating.
Xiao Pang did not refuse to eat, but asked Tang Zhuyun to leave.
Tang Zhuyun and Prince of Jin exchanged glances and went into the inner room.
She crouched against the wall, secretly listening to the sounds outside.
But the two people outside were too silent; apart from the occasional clinking of a spoon against a bowl, there was no other sound.
They were eating, or perhaps they were silent.
However, Tang Zhuyun's research over the past two days hadn't been in vain; after dinner, Xiao Pang indeed began to hallucinate.
Tang Zhuyun also came out.
She was very curious: what was Xiao Pang's deepest desire?
Xiao Pang's answer was: women.
He rushed straight towards Tang Zhuyun, his eyes filled with tears. "Mo'er, Mo'er, have you forgiven me? Otherwise, why are you appearing in my dreams again?"
Tang Zhuyun: He actually knows he's not in reality?
The Prince of Jin held Xiao Pang tightly.
But Xiao Pang also struggled desperately, punching and kicking, trying with all her might to pull Tang Zhuyun away.
After a while, he suddenly calmed down.
He said to Tang Zhuyun, who was backing away, "Mo'er, be careful. You're pregnant!"
Tang Zhuyun was so startled she almost tripped over herself.
Although it was just a coincidence, it still sent chills down her spine.
She is pregnant now...
When the Xiao Family encountered trouble, Xiao Mo was pregnant.
Looking at Tang Zhuyun's pale face, the Prince of Jin asked anxiously, "A-Yun, you?"
"It's alright," Tang Zhuyun said. "Continue asking him."
"No, ask away," said the Prince of Jin. "You are Xiao Mo."
Tang Zhuyun immediately realized what was happening, pinched herself, squeezed out a glimmer of light in her eyes, and touched her lower abdomen, saying, "I know, this is our first child. We will be very happy together, and we will be happy forever."
"Yes, yes, you're right." Xiao Pang's voice was excited. "We will definitely be happy. This time I'll listen to you. I'll convince my father, and we'll leave the Xiao Family together, okay? I'll do whatever you say!"
Tang Zhuyun was slightly taken aback. So Xiao Mo had already let him leave?
Did she already know about the Xiao Family's plot to rebel, or was it for some other reason?
Thinking of this, she said softly, "If you don't want to leave, then stay. This is your home, and I know you'll miss it."
"No, no, no, you'll die if you stay. I don't want you to die!" Xiao Pang said, "Father is gone, you're gone, and my heart is dead too."
So, it was Xiao Pang who knew about the rebellion?
But wasn't Xiao Pang a spoiled brat?
Perhaps it was because he overheard Fourth Master Xiao talking to someone?
"We don't want that overwhelming wealth, I just want to be with you," Xiao Pang said. "My father is torn between loyalty to his country and filial piety, I can trick him into leaving..."
"How could you lie?" Tang Zhuyun followed his words, "Grandparents are still alive, how could Father have left?"
"Dad has a secret... that only I know..."
Tang Zhuyun held her breath.
"Back then, my seventh aunt had a maidservant, actually, actually she was... she was," Xiao Pang hesitated for a moment, then swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and continued, "Actually, she was our eighth aunt."
Tang Zhuyun: It's about Bai Lu again!
Xiao Pang knew this too!
The Prince of Jin had a stern expression, his hands clenched into fists inside his sleeves.
"My father didn't know before; he just treated her like an ordinary maid," Xiao Pang said. "My father actually liked her... but because she was my seventh aunt's maid, he couldn't bring himself to take her as a concubine... Later he found out that she was actually his sister..."
"Fine, I'll tell you the truth, but please don't tell A-Qi... I know you and A-Qi are close, but don't say anything..."
"I won't tell you, just tell me." Tang Zhuyun's heart was in her throat.
She couldn't even imagine what the Prince of Jin was feeling right now.
"Bai Lu is A-Qi's biological mother, but Seventh Aunt wants to kill her to silence her."
"When my father found out, he couldn't bear it and sent people to rescue her... and settle her outside. But she later secretly ran away..."
Tang Zhuyun: She knew it! There's no such thing as love at first sight!
It's almost impossible for a killer to fall in love with his target.
It turned out that it was Fourth Master Xiao secretly saved Bai Lu.
"My dad has been worried about this little sister, afraid something might happen to her."
"So I lied to her, found out where Aunt Ba was, and then tricked him into leaving."
It wasn't love, but it was someone he had liked before, and they were related by blood. Fourth Master Xiao was very responsible and accountable in this matter.
"No, no, my father is dead, dead!" Xiao Pang suddenly said. "Before he died, he told me to go find Aunt Ba and take care of her when I found her."
"My father saw it all coming; the Xiao Family was doomed."
"My father indulged me because he said it was impossible to know who was right and who was wrong, so it was better to live a life of luxury..."
"Father! Mo'er, have you seen my father? Is he doing well in the afterlife?"
Xiao Pang was sometimes lucid and sometimes confused; one moment he felt that Xiao Mo had returned, and the next he felt that she was a ghost.
But he talked to himself for a long time.
What Nanny Rong said was indeed proven true.
In this state of mental instability, the possibility of Xiao Pang lying is almost zero.
Xiao Pang was about to rush over and hug Tang Zhuyun again.
The Prince of Jin knocked him unconscious with a karate chop, then called for his men to come in and take him out, instructing them to keep a close watch on him.
Tang Zhuyun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Prince of Jin stepped forward and took her hand. "You were frightened just now, weren't you?"
Tang Zhuyun nodded with lingering fear. "It was mainly his words that scared me. Fourth Master Xiao, you're amazing!"
Although I have never met him, I can still sense from Xiao Pang's words that he is a rare person who is both clear-headed and sentimental.
Unfortunately, they were still caught in the calamity of the entire colony and could not escape it.
Tang Zhuyun was thinking about how to comfort Prince of Jin —in fact, most of the facts had already been pieced together, so this blow wasn't exactly a shock.
Then she heard the Prince of Jin say, "A-Yun, are you pregnant?"
Tang Zhuyun: "Huh?"
Does this person have eagle eyes?
She hasn't said anything yet!
"How... how did you know?" She stared wide-eyed at the Prince of Jin.
The Prince of Jin remained calm—it was difficult for him to feel elated upon receiving this unexpected good news amidst such an atmosphere of recalling unpleasant past events.
However, he was very happy.
This is the fruit of their love.
"It was Xiao Pang who ate the poisonous mushrooms, not you," said the Prince of Jin.
Tang Zhuyun: "Hmm? And then?"
"He treated you like Mo'er sister and said you were pregnant, which is nothing. But the fact that you kept protecting your stomach and carefully avoiding him is a problem."
I see.
Tang Zhuyun smiled and nodded, "No problem, it's because I'm pregnant."
She took his hand and placed it on her lower abdomen. "Here, it came from you!"
Together we nurtured each other; it's so beautiful.
