Chapter 338: Huo Wanting Makes Her Move
Yan Kuan waited for a long time, but Shen Xiaoxiao did not react at all. She seemed to be in a trance. This was not right. He had said that he had dreamed of a woman in his dream.
Why was this little thing not jealous and did not react?
“Why aren’t you saying anything? I said that I saw her in my dream.”
Yan Kuan reminded Shen Xiaoxiao once again. Shen Xiaoxiao snapped out of her daze and glanced at Yan Kuan. She still did not have much of a reaction as she said, “So what if it’s a dream? It’s just a dream. It’s not real. Even if the dream in your dream is ridiculous in real life, you’re still my husband and the father of my child.”
Initially, Yan Kuan was slightly unhappy with Shen Xiaoxiao’s indifferent look. However, when he heard that he was her husband and the father of her child, Yan Kuan was instantly delighted. The corners of his mouth almost reached his ears.
Shen Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. What a good-for-nothing. How could it be so easy to get rid of her now?
However, what she said was the truth. It was the truth. No matter what happened in her previous life, it was impossible for them to be together in this life. Furthermore, she already had Yan Kuan’s child. Their names were written on the marriage certificate. Their fates had already changed. Therefore, there was no need to dwell on problems that would never happen and miss out on the happiness of their own lives.
Shen Xiaoxiao thought it through thoroughly. Of course, Yan Kuan would definitely not know about these things. He was still foolishly stroking her stomach and laughing.
“Oh right, when are we going to go to that research lab?”
“Just these few days. When we’re ready, I’ll bring Dark 1 and the others. Yun Qi and the others have already arrived. This time, we’re going to wipe them out.”
Shen Xiaoxiao was excited when she heard what they said. She wanted to go too, but she knew that the possibility of her going was a little low. Yan Kuan would not let her go. With a big belly, she could not go anywhere.
“I really want to go too. Then, you have to pay attention to your safety. I don’t want another Yan Kuan to come back.”
Hearing Shen Xiaoxiao say this, Yan Kuan smiled. Another Yan Kuan to come back? This was the first and only mistake in his life. How could he make it again?
Besides, why did he fall into the trap last time? It was all because this wretched girl took the initiative to save him with her life. Otherwise, how could he have been so distracted and fallen into someone’s trap?
He did not expect this girl to be so important in his heart that he could not bear to part with her and care about her so much.
However, this also reminded Yan Kuan that he had to protect this little thing even though she was walking in a carefree manner. Otherwise, if someone used her to threaten him, he would most likely fall for it.
“I’ll be gone for at most three days. Don’t go anywhere and just stay at home. If anyone wants you to go out, don’t go. I’ll send more people to protect you. So, you must be careful.”
“Don’t worry, I know. I won’t hold you back. Besides, my stomach is so big. It’s not convenient for me to go anywhere.”
“Okay, good girl…”
…
Ouyang Le looked at the two sets of clothes on the table that were exactly the same. Her heart beat faster, and cold sweat dripped down her forehead. She had seen First Aunt sprinkle some powder on them with her own eyes. Which one was it?
When it was not the season for the young ladies of the Ouyang family, the mistress would assign them the most fashionable and cutting-edge clothes of the season. Each young lady was different, and some were the same, but they were all according to their own sizes.
But this time, Huo Wanting hired an old master to hand-embroider four identical qipaos for the only four unmarried ladies of the Ouyang family.
Along with the cheongsam came the fashionable clothes. When Ouyang Le went to discuss her marriage with Huo Wanting, she accidentally saw Huo Wanting sprinkling something on the clothes. Not only that, she also heard her order the maid to roast a bunch of them with something.
She felt more and more frightened. This was obviously drugging the clothes. Although she didn’t have her biological mother to teach her, the servant beside her was also a child of the Ouyang family.
She had seen everything in these years. She had taught Ouyang Le a lot of things since she was young. It was obvious that Huo Wanting’s way of doing things was a trick used by women in the inner chamber. However, she didn’t know who the clothes were for because she was afraid of being found out.
She had deliberately dropped a bag and got the two most inconspicuous clothes. Which one was drugged? Or was it both of them? And what kind of medicine was used?
In the entire Ouyang family, she trusted and understood pharmacology the most. Needless to say, her father, Ouyang Jinguo, was the only one.
Ouyang Le took the clothes and quietly went to her father’s courtyard. These days, Ouyang Jinguo did not go out. In the past, he was mostly abroad or in the internal research room to study subjects. He rarely came back unless summoned. But this time, something happened to Ouyang Le, and the fourth branch still refused to let go. This made him not dare to let his daughter stay alone in the Ouyang family.
So she took the clothes and directly went to Ouyang Jinguo. Ouyang Le knew very well that at the critical moment, only her father could be relied on.
Ouyang Jinguo was reading in the room. When he saw Ouyang Le coming over with the clothes, his eyebrows never relaxed. As the son of the first wife of the Ouyang family, he could think of more than Ouyang Le.
“What happened?”
Ouyang Le knew that her father was such a smart person. He knew that something must have happened without her saying anything. She immediately told Ouyang Jinguo about how she accidentally bumped into them and unintentionally took the clothes.
Ouyang Jinguo saw that Ouyang Le kept the clothes in a box and didn’t touch them with her hands. He secretly let out a sigh of relief. He turned around, took a pair of gloves, and put them on. After taking the box of clothes, he entered the small laboratory inside. Ouyang Le followed him, wanting to see what it was.
An hour later… Ouyang Jinguo looked at Ouyang Le with a livid face and said, “You go to M Country tomorrow and don’t come back for a while. I’ll arrange things here to find you. This Ouyang family is getting more and more filthy. What a b*stard.”
“Dad, what’s wrong? What’s on It?”
“What? Hmph, it’s poison. It’s nothing for a man to use it, but once a woman uses it, she won’t be able to have children for the rest of her life.”
“But as long as you use Longyan incense, these two things will slowly soak into your body, and your limbs will gradually wither and age. In the end, you won’t even know how you died.”
“What?” Ouyang Le was shocked. So vicious. Who was she going to deal with?
“Do you have both clothes or just one?”
“Of course I have both.”
“So, Lele, the Ouyang family really can’t be stayed in any longer. Don’t you understand? Not only is someone going to attack your grandfather, but even you aren’t going to be let go.”
