Chapter 771: Blown Cover

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Seeing Su Xiaoxiao’s hesitation, Old Madam Wei urged, “Put it on quickly. It cost me a hundred taels of silver.”

Su Xiaoxiao muttered,” Are you sure you weren’t scammed?”

“Quick, quick, quick! Put it on!” Matriarch Wei was really impatient.

Su Xiaoxiao put on the safety talisman. Anyway, there would be no babies even if she wore it. She and Wei Ting were busy being celibate!

Wei Ting returned from court and saw the red rope around her neck.

He knew that she was originally wearing an emerald jade pendant which was given to Su Ergou.

When a person cared about another person, it was easy to notice any difference in her.

When he approached, he realized that the red string seemed familiar. He stretched out his slender jade-like fingertips and hooked the red string out.

When he saw the child-giving Guanyin Talisman hanging on it, a thought-provoking glint flashed across his eyes. “You asked for this?”

Seeing that he knew her, Su Xiaoxiao took the child -giving Guanyin Talisman from him. “What do you mean I asked for it? Grandmother gave it to me!”

Wei Ting looked at her meaningfully. “Grandmother clearly asked for this for Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law. She even specially invited the master to bless her, wanting Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law to give

Xiyue a younger brother.”

That was not what Grandmother said…

Oh no, this guy was going to use this as an excuse again.

Just as Su Xiaoxiao was thinking about this, she saw Wei Ting sit down calmly on the stool opposite her with an unruly and cold expression.

“I couldn’t tell, Su Xiaoxiao. You even snatched this. Do you want to get pregnant with my child so badly?”

He had once accidentally addressed her with an amalgam of Su Daya and Qin Xiaoxiao. She said that she liked him calling her that, so he continued. However, he rarely called her by her name unless it was something very important.

Clearly, in his opinion, Su Xiaoxiao just wanted to give birth to his child. Su Xiaoxiao insisted, “Grandmother really gave it to me.”

Wei Ting chuckled and said, “You even know how to use Grandmother as an excuse. If you didn’t take the initiative to ask Grandmother for it, would Grandmother have given you something meant for Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law?”

Su Xiaoxiao said solemnly, “Ask Grandmother if you don’t believe me!”

Wei Ting snorted. “Of course Grandmother won’t expose you.”

Su Xiaoxiao clenched her chubby fists.

At this moment, Xing’er came to the door. “Miss, someone from the palace is here. Please enter the palace.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Did something happen?”

Xing’er shook her head. “I’m not sure. It’s the little eunuch beside Princess

Jingning. From what he said, Princess Jingning doesn’t look too good.”

Actually, the young eunuch was talking about her expression. However, Xing’er felt that Princess Jingning and her young lady were close and would never be upset with her young lady. Therefore, it should be in regard to her wellbeing. The young eunuch had made a mistake with his message.

Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “Is Princess Jingning sick? She was clearly fine this morning…”

Thanks to Xing’er’s “correction”, Su Xiaoxiao successfully missed the key clue, so she naturally didn’t think of the letter.

She tidied up and called Ah Fu to drive to the palace.

When she arrived at the warm pavilion of Kunning Palace, she inexplicably felt a murderous aura assault her. She took a closer look and saw that Princess Hui An was also there.

The two princesses sat on their chairs, looking like they wanted to eat her.

On the table between the two of them were two thick stacks of letters.

Su Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped a beat. No way, no way. Did the two of them compare letters?

Wei Ting did not take many bites; he was mainly watching her eat.

She ate until her cheeks were puffed up, especially when she stuffed the little meatball into her mouth. She looked like a little squirrel foraging and hoarding.

Su Xiaoxiao was sweating from eating. It was delicious and satisfying.

After dinner, it was already night.

There was a lantern meet on the long street tonight. There were colorful lanterns hanging on the stalls in the cold wind, like a winding dragon.

The songs of the singers and the sound of the pipa came from the other pleasure boats, making one’s heart sway.

Su Xiaoxiao leaned against the railing of the deck and listened to the wind. She enjoyed the night view of the capital.

Suddenly, the advancing pleasure boat touched a reef and jolted violently.

Su Xiaoxiao fell forward and Wei Ting pulled her over. Su Xiaoxiao fell into his solid arms.

She widened her eyes and looked at this handsome face that was inches away. For some reason, her heart suddenly beat faster.

Wei Ting did not let go of her, and she did not leave his arms.

The two of them stared at each other.

Someone on the riverbank set off fireworks. The bright flames soared into the sky and bloomed in the endless dome, competing with the stars and moon.

Su Xiaoxiao’s heart seemed to have exploded into a string of fireworks. She subconsciously swallowed and stood on her tiptoes to touch his soft lips.

Then she looked at him.

Wei Ting’s eyes were deep.

Was there no reaction?

Had she taken the initiative too much?

Su Xiaoxiao stepped back on the ground and turned to leave.

Wei Ting suddenly pulled her back into his arms, grabbed her head with one hand, and pressed her down heavily.

He kissed her, not giving her any chance to escape, taking every breath she had.

Su Xiaoxiao was dizzy from the kiss and her body went weak.

The maids shyly hid in the house.

After the kiss, even her eyes were moist, and every bone in her body gradually went numb.

She leaned against his chest and whispered, “I… I can’t stand…”

Wei Ting picked her up horizontally and strode towards the room.

The fireworks in the night sky were dazzling, and there was a commotion on

the shore and on the pleasure boat.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her hand in a daze.

She felt that she must have been bewitched. This man was too devilishly handsome, so devilish that she had forgotten his ferocity.

She took off his crown in a daze. His black hair cascaded down like black brocade and intertwined with her black hair.

He pressed down on her weakly and did not take the next step. He just looked at her without blinking.

In front of beauty, who could resist…

Su Xiaoxiao put down the hair crown, cupped his handsome face with both hands, and gently kissed his good-looking lips.

The entire world fell silent, leaving only their breathing and strong heartbeats.

Wei Ting raised his hand and lowered the drapes..
