Chapter 993: Chapter 991 Weak Mother
“Zi Wei, let her go quickly!”
Su Yingxue hurriedly rescued Zhilan, saving her life.
After being released, Zhilan fell to the ground, her eyes wide with terror, “Miss, Zi Wei he…”
“I just told him I didn’t want others to know I’m pregnant, so he might have…” In his attempt to help her keep the secret, he had attacked Zhilan.
After all, Zi Wei was always straightforward and rough.
Su Yingxue felt quite embarrassed, but luckily she acted fast, otherwise Zhilan’s delicate neck would have been broken in Zi Wei’s hands.
Knowing this, Zhilan suddenly let out a sigh of relief, “So that’s why, it was my fault for being abrupt, should’ve kept quiet.”
Her outburst must have made Zi Wei feel threatened towards Su Yingxue, prompting him to attack her!
Zi Wei’s reactions to threat were always incredibly quick and sharp!
Zi Wei looked at Zhilan, his expression somewhat stiff; Su Yingxue patted Zhilan’s shoulder for her, “Zi Wei said he didn’t do it on purpose, don’t be mad, okay?”
“Zi Wei clearly said nothing, how did you know, Miss?” Zhilan said with a muffled laugh.
“I know what he’s thinking! He is someone I’ve won over!” Su Yingxue said, somewhat pleased with herself.
Bringing Zi Wei back was the right decision; thinking about him now having his own family made her uncontrollably happy for him.
“By the way, Zi Wei, after you finish the task for me, I’ll send you back to properly thank Miss Yue Lian,” Su Yingxue said with a gentle smile in her eyes.
Zi Wei was truly lucky to have met a woman like Yue Lian, who had eyes only for him and didn’t mind his cold demeanor, even kindly allowing him to come back to help with her tasks.
Upon mentioning Yue Lian, there was no light in Zi Wei’s eyes, as if it were none of his business, “Hmm.”
Zi Wei wanted to stay by Su Yingxue’s side and protect her every second of the day now that she was pregnant, but Su Yingxue still sent him to watch over Lu Ying.
Although Lu Ying had acknowledged her strategy, Su Yingxue still wanted to dig something out from her.
Like, the incident involving Wu Jinyan at Bamboo Leaf Pass.
After a good night’s rest, Su Yingxue went to Su Hao’s courtyard the next day.
For the sake of her child, she had to rest well, but she also hoped her brother would heal as quickly as possible.
The courtyard, still decorated with big red lanterns and filled with joy, felt desolate as the master’s despair washed over everything upon entry.
Su Hao was slumped under the eaves, having been drunk all night.
Empty alcohol jars rolled around him, and scruffy stubble sprouted from his chin; his hair disheveled, and the celebratory robe he hadn’t changed out of was dirty and in disarray.
Su Yingxue took a deep breath, her vision blurring with a layer of fog.
This was Su Hao, her proudest brother, the young general of the Marquis’s Manor!
“Brother, get… get up,” Su Yingxue stammered, squatting beside him, her face full of distress.
“Leave me alone…”
Su Hao pushed her away, turned over, and picked up another jar of wine.
His head throbbed with a sour pain, his heart felt numb, and he didn’t know what to do other than numb his sorrow with alcohol.
“Hiss…”
Su Yingxue, unsteady on her feet, sat down on the ground after Su Hao pushed her.
Zhilan nervously helped her up, “Miss, did you hurt yourself? I’ll go call the doctor…”
“Shh! Why call a doctor, I am a doctor myself!”
Su Yingxue gestured for silence.
She bit her lip; her body truly felt uncomfortable, a sign of early pregnancy, and due to her recent worries and lack of rest, her physical condition had weakened, leading to this discomfort.
