Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 2074 - 2082: She Is Not Allowed Into the Mansion (4)
"I must, absolutely must!"
Ba Tulu narrowed his eagle-like eyes and said unyieldingly, "I’ve waited for three years, this is my only chance, and I will never give it up!"
During this outing, not only did he bring the most elite guards, but he also hired many Jianghu assassins, all to ensure he could obtain the Bright Pearls without a hitch. He believed that as a great man standing in this world, if he couldn’t even get the woman he loved, what was the point of living?
Therefore, ignoring his father’s warnings, he secretly plotted for three years, just waiting for this grand endeavor to fulfill his dream!
Nangong Yi also knew Ba Tulu’s feelings for the Bright Pearls, so he arranged for Nangong Yu to go to the fief this year to escort the Bright Pearls to Qing Luo. Besides, he secretly ordered his vast number of Secret Guards to escort the Bright Pearls from the shadows, to prevent that boy Ba Tulu from stirring any trouble.
Cai Wei was rather dismissive of Nangong Yi’s caution, laughingly saying, "Instead of mobilizing so many people, why not send our Divine Eagle to carry the two back? After all, it will be March by then, and your precious daughter won’t freeze."
Nangong Yi thought for a moment and said, "If that’s the case, your matter with the space will be known by that boy."
After a pause, he added, "But knowing is good too. In case one day he tries to bully our Zhu’er, knowing that you, madam, are so awesome, he’ll think twice about it!"
"Oh, look at you! Chao’er is a good boy, he won’t bully our Zhu’er, you’re overthinking."
Cai Wei wanted the Divine Eagle to take them back to Qing Luo, but for a completely different reason than Nangong Yi. She had no intention to intimidate her son-in-law; she just couldn’t bear the thought of her daughter and son-in-law enduring the travel fatigue, which is why she came up with this plan.
However, Nangong Yi believed it was not safe for his daughter and son-in-law to fly high in the sky on the old eagle, and insisted that they ride back on the white-haired tiger. Although it would take one more day on the white-haired tiger, it was much safer than the Divine Eagle.
Cai Wei considered this and found Nangong Yi’s idea very reasonable. Should Wanyan Chao or the Bright Pearls be afraid of heights, a day of flying at ten thousand meters high could be their doom. It would be better for them to endure some hardship and ride the white-haired tiger back to Qing Luo instead, given they both had some kungfu skills, and the immense strength of the white-haired tiger should provide much more safety than being escorted by Secret Guards!
Or, they could enter the space, and she and Nangong Yi could ride the Divine Eagle to take them back to Qing Luo. Although doing so would fully expose the space, it didn’t matter; she had long considered Wanyan Chao as her own son, so even if he found out about her secret, it wouldn’t be a big deal!
...
On the tenth of February, Chong Wen’s first child was born, a beautiful and lovely daughter.
Chong Wen was so enamored at the sight of his precious daughter that he couldn’t bear to let go of her from his hands.
Lady Du and Mu Zhongqing also loved this adorable granddaughter, but the elders in their hearts still preferred boys more. They had eagerly anticipated Yanran giving birth to the Mu Family’s eldest grandson, but the result was a daughter. Although the husband and wife didn’t say anything, they were both secretly a bit disappointed.
Fortunately, the husband and wife were still young and could have more children. Thinking of this, the elder couple felt somewhat comforted. Moreover, the second daughter-in-law, Lady Zhang, had been married for over a month, and this month’s monthly letters had yet to come. She had been eating and sleeping more, seemingly pregnant already, but it was still too early for the Imperial Physician to diagnose.
However, Lady Du, being an experienced elder, having witnessed the birth of more than twenty children, including her own and her children’s and grandchildren’s, was confident in her judgment that this daughter-in-law was undoubtedly pregnant!
