Chapter 34: Life Is Hard for Su Qingli’s Mother

The steward did have a son, but three years ago he was diagnosed as infertile, and at that time, the old couple’s hearts were chilled to the core. They had long since given up hope, but now, hearing Lady Su Qingli speak those words, how could he not be excited?

“Madam, are you—are you telling the truth?”

“Steward, you must trust me! Are you questioning my abilities?”

...

Having received Liu Ye’s orders, Xu Shu and Jia Xu cupped their hands toward him before turning to leave the drawing room, setting off to arrange matters for the expedition.

Within the Prince’s Mansion, the management of the front and rear courtyards was separated. The front courtyard was overseen by house servants bestowed by Emperor Kangxi upon the Fourteenth Prince, all of whom held official positions and drew imperial salaries. The rear courtyard was, in theory, under my stewardship; naturally, I was also expected to review the accounts for the outer court, but they had their own rules, and there were many affairs into which I could not easily intercede.

Seeing his father being beaten, Wei Zheng naturally would not stand by; he rushed forward, and in an instant, the three men in the drawing room were entangled in a brawl.

After the Great Crossing, when Yan City was first established, he served as a company commander, until recently when Wang Hongjun used a pretext to confine him.

Who could have imagined that in just a few months, she would change—beginning to admire those who drove luxury cars, envying those who lived in villas, and growing increasingly cold towards him.

Zhuge Liang signaled to Zheng Feng; Liu Bei always listened to this fellow. As long as Zheng Feng stepped in, Liu Bei would most likely comply.

“Eat slowly, why rush?” Hua Tuo quickly poured a cup of water and handed it to Zheng Feng.

Faced with Yuan Shao’s inquiry, Zhang Miao hesitated for a moment, then countered by asking whether Yuan Shao had received a messenger from Chenliu bringing him a letter.

Su Le listened to Ye Chen’s words and finally understood why Ye Chen insisted on holding her as they slept.

She had just done that sort of thing with Ling Shaohua today—if she were to bear Ling Shaohua’s child, how could she possibly be with Feng Junyao in the future?

Jiu Ying was startled; then the three heads each exhaled a stream of mist, barely resisting the sword energy.

Inside the ship’s cabin, everyone gradually regained their composure, whether from earlier excitement or embarrassment.

The paraglider had already descended to a dangerously low altitude; it was now too late to adjust the landing site. Yun Piaoying focused all her attention, unable to foresee what might happen next, but she sensed the signal of impending danger.

The master cutter stared at Qin Yang, his heart surging with emotion and his eyes filled with admiration. Everything seemed to be within Qin Yang’s grasp, and he was certain the man knew there was jade hidden inside, and even that there was something concealed within the red jade.

The Shadow Mantis returned promptly, and Su Yang was now aware of Yu Xuelan’s final conversation with Emperor Zhou.

They wore expressions of disdain, for they did not believe that anyone in the mundane world could easily annihilate a peak master of the Profound Realm.

Cao Ge suddenly stood up; his cold face had remained unchanged for years. Sister Fei’s eyes flickered with disappointment, yet her gaze seemed irresistibly drawn, always following Cao Ge.

The White Bone General grunted, straightened up, and, seeing Zhuang Zuoren keeping his distance, felt a bit puzzled. Still, he was deeply grateful to Zhuang Zuoren for granting him the pill, and without giving it further thought, crossed his arms over his chest, calmed his mind, and began channeling his energy.

“How laughable. So this is how arrogant and even foolish you people of the Northern Dynasty are,” Gu Yuchen sneered.

Previously, when C7 spoke of using MIRACLE to absorb other ability users’ powers, that was something known to nearly every ability user who escaped from that branch. In other words, the aim of these three was likely to kill Akizuki Tsunako and seize her powers.

Later, Isabel sat on one side of the long conference table in the meeting room, sipping a glass of wine at her leisure. Not long after, footsteps sounded outside the door opposite her.
