The woman in blue smiled at Du Chun, then stepped forward and bowed to Tian Ji Wu Chang, "Xiang Xiang pays her respects to Wu Chang."
"It's good that you're back."
Tian Ji Wu Chang was very happy and spoke with emotion.
Wu Zhi Ruo walked over.
Tian Ji Wu Chang held Wu Zhi Ruo's hand tightly and sighed, "You girl, you must have suffered a lot outside."
As he spoke, he pinched Wu Zhi Ruo's chin, "Look, you've lost weight."
Wu Zhi Ruo looked at her father before her, tears welling up in her eyes, "Daddy, you can stand up now? You're all better?"
"Yes, yes, your father is fine, look, I can even spin around."
Tian Ji Wu Chang actually spun around in front of Wu Zhi Ruo.
He had an expression of expecting praise from his own daughter.
"Pfft!"
Wu Zhi Ruo laughed and cried, "Daddy, you're still the same, so mischievous."
A father and daughter exchanged heartfelt words in front of everyone.
At this moment, Gu Qian Ying and the others all turned their gaze to Meng Xiang Xiang, who stood in the center of the hall.
They were all shocked.
To see Meng Xiang Xiang here?
Meng Xiang Xiang glanced at them, winked, and mouthed the words: Long time no see, everyone.
After talking with Tian Ji Wu Chang for a while, Wu Zhi Ruo walked down the steps, came to Lu Zhu, and cursed, "Bitch!"
She raised her hand and slapped Lu Zhu across the face with a "slap!"
Lu Zhu was stunned; she didn't dare to fight back.
She still remembered that her mother often told her as a child that in the entire tribe, it was better to offend anyone but Wu Zhi Ruo.
Wu Zhi Ruo was Tian Ji Wu Chang's most beloved daughter, and the most noble woman in the entire Wu clan.
Even she, the Saintess, had to bow to Wu Zhi Ruo.
For so many years, she had been subservient to Wu Zhi Ruo.
Wu Zhi Ruo had always bullied her since childhood.
The words Wu Zhi Ruo had said to her since childhood flashed in her mind: "If it weren't for your good luck in inheriting the Saint Spirit bloodline, with your lowly status, how would you be worthy of being the Saintess!"
When she left five years ago, she heard that Wu Zhi Ruo had also gone far away to study medicine to cure her father, and she had been gone for a long time.
Seeing that A Ta Wu Meng, whom she hadn't seen in years, still dared not fight back against her scolding and was timid, Wu Zhi Ruo felt very proud.
A lowly creature is indeed a lowly creature; after so many years, she hasn't changed, ha!
Gu Qian Ying, with a dark expression, walked over, pulled Lu Zhu behind her, raised her hand, and slapped Wu Zhi Ruo in the same spot!
"You dare to hit my person!"
A bloodthirsty glint appeared in her clear eyes.
At this moment, Gu Qian Ying had returned to her original state.
She knew that Wu Yin Mountain and the Demon Token were very important to the people of the Wu clan.
It would be difficult for them, outsiders, to take the Demon Token.
But no matter how difficult, she had to try.
Ouyang Qing Lin was still waiting to be rescued; they had no time to waste.
However, they were not bandits. She felt it was necessary to obtain Tian Ji Wu Chang's consent before acting on the matter of the Demon Token.
Otherwise, it would be theft, which was not the act of a gentleman. But this did not mean she would allow her own people to be bullied by outsiders.
Lu Zhu cupped half her face, hiding behind Gu Qian Ying, her head lowered, not daring to meet Wu Zhi Ruo's eyes.
It was clear that she was somewhat afraid of Wu Zhi Ruo.
Sensing this, Gu Qian Ying protected Lu Zhu even more tightly.
Tian Ji Wu Chang, seeing his beloved daughter being hit, strode forward furiously, shielding Wu Zhi Ruo behind him, and glared at Gu Qian Ying, "Miss Gu, what is the meaning of this?"
As Tian Ji Wu Chang approached, Nangong Mo also stood beside Gu Qian Ying, close to her.
Du Chun, the Sixth Prince Nangong Li, Luo La Ya Ta, Meng Yi, and others also took a few steps forward.
At this moment, several burly Wu people guarding the door also crossed the threshold at the same time.
The atmosphere in the room was tense.
It was then that Wu Zhi Ruo noticed Nangong Mo, Du Chun, and the others.
Her gaze fell on Nangong Mo.
She couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
What a handsome man.
Wu Zhi Ruo was momentarily mesmerized.
Gu Qian Ying frowned, moved a few steps forward of Nangong Mo, blocking Wu Zhi Ruo's view, and faced Tian Ji Wu Chang.
"Wu Chang, you are an elder, and we juniors naturally respect you. However, your daughter, upon entering, without distinguishing right from wrong, verbally insulted my friend and even slapped her. I hit her as a form of retaliation, giving her a taste of her own medicine!"
As she spoke, Gu Qian Ying looked coldly at Wu Zhi Ruo, "Oh, no, it's only half the retaliation. You verbally insulted our Lu Zhu, and we haven't even cursed you back yet..."
Before she could finish speaking, Luo La Ya Ta from behind puffed out her chest, stood beside Gu Qian Ying, pointed at Wu Zhi Ruo's nose, and cursed, "You're the bitch... You woman who spews filth from her mouth, look at your face painted with rouge and powder, it's like a monkey's backside. If you weren't Wu Chang's daughter, we would have thought you were some famous courtesan pretending to be aloof... Hmph!"
After cursing, Luo La Ya Ta crossed her arms with great satisfaction, her chin raised, and glared at Wu Zhi Ruo disdainfully.
"You..."
Wu Zhi Ruo was so angry she couldn't speak.
"What do you mean, you! We are all people of the Wu clan. Even if you are Tian Ji Wu Chang's daughter, how noble can you be?"
"You are far inferior to our Lu Zhu. Our Lu Zhu is loved by everyone. Not only is she skilled in martial arts, but she is also very friendly to those around her. Such a little darling has countless suitors. Unlike you, an arrogant young lady who not only likes to insult people but also likes to hit them, with no manners, hmph!"
"You..."
Wu Zhi Ruo was about to explode with anger.
She closed her eyes and her body went limp.
"Daughter!"
Tian Ji Wu Chang exclaimed.
He couldn't catch her as Wu Zhi Ruo fell.
A flash of red clothes passed before his eyes, and she steadily caught the about-to-fall Wu Zhi Ruo.
As she fainted, Wu Zhi Ruo clearly saw the person holding her. Her beautiful profile left a deep impression on her.
Feeling the warmth from her embrace, Wu Zhi Ruo finally fainted.
Looking at the fainted person in her arms, Gu Qian Ying frowned.
Wu Zhi Ruo bullied Lu Zhu, and this person made her very disgusted.
But this woman was, after all, Tian Ji Wu Chang's daughter. If she were to die from anger, they would have no chance to go to Wu Yin Mountain.
Gu Qian Ying's slender fingers were placed on Wu Zhi Ruo's wrist as she took her pulse.
After taking her pulse, she frowned and looked at Tian Ji Wu Chang.
It seemed she had something to say.
Seeing his daughter faint in Gu Qian Ying's arms, Tian Ji Wu Chang anxiously asked, "Divine Doctor, my daughter... she..."
"She is seven months pregnant."
This statement shocked everyone.
"Ah? How is that possible? But she doesn't look pregnant! She doesn't look like it?"
Luo La Ya Ta mumbled.
Tian Ji Wu Chang sat down on the ground, "How could this be?"
The servants attending in the room all knelt down.
At this moment, Tian Ji Wu Chang quickly looked at Meng Xiang Xiang.
Nangong Mo and the others did the same.
Wu Zhi Ruo had returned with Meng Xiang Xiang.
It was likely that Meng Xiang Xiang knew about Wu Zhi Ruo's condition.
But... Meng Xiang Xiang looked completely bewildered, "Why is everyone looking at me?"
"I don't know anything. I met Senior Sister Wu two days ago. A few days ago, my brother Meng Qing Hua learned that Tian Ji Wu Chang had woken up and asked me to bring some precious tonics to Tian Ji Wu Chang on his behalf. He also instructed Xiang Xiang not to rush back and to stay and accompany Tian Ji Wu Chang."
"When Xiang Xiang met Senior Sister Wu, Senior Sister Wu was living alone in an inn outside, without any man accompanying her. After we met, we returned together."
Upon hearing this, Tian Ji Wu Chang was very worried.
His daughter was pregnant, so who was her husband?
"Qian Ying! Blood... she... she's bleeding!"
While everyone was confused, Luo La Ya Ta pointed below Wu Zhi Ruo's white dress and exclaimed in shock.
Everyone looked over and was shocked again.
The bright red blood stained Wu Zhi Ruo's white dress.
Gu Qian Ying's pupils contracted.
"Not good, she has signs of threatened miscarriage and needs immediate treatment. Quickly prepare a room, bring a basin of hot water, and also, go find 'Ai' medicinal herbs. She needs moxibustion to preserve the pregnancy."
As she spoke, Gu Qian Ying glanced at Du Chun.
Du Chun understood and immediately said, "Understood, I'll go write the prescription and get the medicine."
Gu Qian Ying nodded in agreement.
When Gu Qian Ying picked up Wu Zhi Ruo, Nangong Mo walked over, wanting to take over.
His wife was also pregnant, so how could he bear to let his wife work so hard?
But... he couldn't hold another woman.
Nangong Mo cast a cold glance at the Sixth Prince Nangong Li.
The Sixth Prince Nangong Li understood his Ninth Imperial Uncle's concerns, and finally, Luo La Ya Ta took Wu Zhi Ruo from Gu Qian Ying's arms.
Tian Ji Wu Chang's most beloved daughter was pregnant and had almost miscarried, and was now being treated by a divine doctor.
Such "explosive" news quickly spread within the Wu clan.
Many Wu people were discussing, all wondering whose child the eldest daughter of the Wu clan was carrying.
In Tian Ji Wu Chang's room, it was chaotic, with servants busy everywhere.
Tian Ji Wu Chang anxiously paced outside, waiting.
Nangong Mo sat on the side, drinking tea with the Sixth Prince Nangong Li.
Luo La Ya Ta and Meng Xiang Xiang sat on the other side, also drinking tea.
However, Meng Xiang Xiang kept stealing glances at Du Chun.
Luo La Ya Ta just smiled and said nothing.
At the same time,
Demon Mountain.
Demon Palace.
"Uncle Bai, just tell me who that woman is and where she is now?"
Princess Qiu Ling of the Demon Clan shook the old man Bai's arm incessantly.
Old man Bai was very troubled and finally spoke, "Her name is Gu Qian Ying, and they are all in the Wu clan now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Ling left with her maid.
"Prepare to go. This princess will go to the Wu clan to personally kill that little bitch who seduced Ouyang Qing Lin!"
"Princess, what about Prince Ouyang? What should we do?"
"Tell Father Emperor to keep him locked up and not feed him. Let him starve. When he falls in love with this princess, then he will be released!"
As she said this, a vicious glint appeared in Qiu Ling's eyes.
