Even while seeing Wuling City developing better and better, the people in high positions were not at ease. The construction and development of Wuling City was fine, but the real problem that made them feel thorny was their city lord’s wife, Lin Xiaoran.
Ever since the news of the disappearance of Qiankun Palace reached Dongzhou, Bai Shuanghua immediately discussed with Lin Xiaoran and asked Lin Xiaoran to work from home, under the pretext of consideration for the fetus. Lin Xiaoran did not seem to think much about it and naturally accepted Bai Shuanghua’s suggestion.
Anyway, the only thing that Lin Xiaoran needs to worry about is the construction of the Cultivation Academy. She doesn’t have to go to the scene to see such things, and the same applies to working from home.
In addition, Bai Shuanghua also arranged for Feng Lingxue to accompany Lin Xiaoran all the time. In order for Feng Lingxue to cooperate with them to conceal the matter of Qiankun Palace, Bai Shuanghua also specifically warned Feng Lingxue about what to say and what not to say.
Although Feng Lingxue is the eldest senior sister, she is actually the youngest after all. She was like a little sister in front of Bai Shuanghua, so she naturally agreed to Bai Shuanghua’s request.
Feng Lingxue was younger than Lin Xiaoran, and they had a lot of common topics. With Feng Lingxue by her side, Lin Xiaoran really didn’t seem to notice anything unusual. She ate and drank as she should, went to bed early, got up early, and took good care of her health. If she soaked some wolfberries every day, she would be no different from a retired cadre.
In fact, from a certain perspective, there is really no difference between pregnant women and retired cadres.
But as the due date approached, everyone felt more and more heavy in their hearts. Because they knew that the truth would come out sooner or later.
Sooner or later, Lin Xiaoran would know about the disappearance of Qiankun Palace.
Their only hope now is to keep the matter a secret, at least until Lin Xiaoran gives birth to the child.
But not long after, Xiao Ruoyao arrived in Wuling City.
As the wife of the pavilion master of Yunjian Pavilion, she could not hide the disappearance of Qiankun Palace. At first, Xiao Ruoyao thought Feng Shao would be the same as before. Although he went to one of the ten forbidden areas, he would eventually return safely. However, as time passed, Lin Xiaoran’s due date was approaching, but there was still no news from Feng Shao.
So, as Lin Xiaoran’s mother, Xiao Ruoyao naturally couldn’t sit still.
Her thoughts were the same as Bai Shuanghua and the others. Lin Xiaoran’s current situation was extremely special. Regardless of whether Feng Shao was in trouble or not, Lin Xiaoran should not know about the affairs of Qiankun Palace. When a woman gives birth, it is like stepping into the gates of hell. The violent fluctuations in emotions can easily cause premature birth and dystocia. Once dystocia occurs, even a cultivator will be in danger.
For the sake of her daughter and her unborn grandson, Xiao Ruoyao had to come to Wuling City at this time.
When she first arrived in Wuling City, Xiao Ruoyao did not rush to see Lin Xiaoran, but first gathered Bai Shuanghua and others.
On the one hand, Xiao Ruoyao is Feng Shao’s mother-in-law, and on the other hand, she is the hall master of Xiaoyao Hall. Facing such a senior expert who is also a powerful leader, Bai Shuanghua and others are naturally respectful. Even though Xiao Ruoyao looks youthful, pretty, petite, and looks like a girl of sixteen or seventeen at first glance, when they stand in front of Xiao Ruoyao, they are also trembling and treading on thin ice.
Xiao Ruoyao first glanced at everyone, then looked at Feng Lingxue and said, “Xue’er, tell me first, how is your master’s wife doing recently?”
After all, Feng Lingxue had learned swordsmanship from Xiao Ruoyao for a period of time, so she felt closer to this woman who looked more like a sister than an elder. When she heard Xiao Ruoyao’s question, Feng Lingxue said without hesitation, “Master’s wife has been eating well and sleeping well recently, and she is in great health. She will definitely give birth to a healthy little junior brother for me in the future!”
Xiao Ruoyao frowned slightly, “That’s it?”
Feng Lingxue opened her big, cute eyes and said in confusion, “Yes! Is there any problem, grandma master?”
Hearing the words “grandma master”, Bai Shuanghua and the others couldn’t help but twitch their lips.
What kind of name is this? They’ve never heard of it before!
Xiao Ruoyao was also stunned by Feng Lingxue’s address, and it took her a long while to react. She waved her hands and said, “What kind of a name is this? Who taught you that?”
Feng Lingxue replied with an innocent look, “My mother’s mother is my grandma, so isn’t my master’s wife’s mother my grandma master?”
Xiao Ruoyao looked speechless, then she held her forehead and sighed.
Forget it, forget it. These are all trivial matters, so she should not dwell on them for now.
