Chapter 333 - 198: Oh No!
After descending from Gu Yue Mountain, Wu Qianhuan’s first stop was to return home to report her safety.
Then to the Chu Family.
Qin Yuqi, naturally cheerful, had a good impression of this future sister-in-law.
So after Wu Qianhuan met Chu Yunfei, she was pulled aside by Qin Yuqi for a conversation.
When asked about Chu Tian, Qin Yuqi looked helpless:
"Not long ago, he received a letter and left home, saying he had an important matter to attend to.
"But he never returned, and it’s been quite some time now."
Wu Qianhuan nodded, not probing further.
Instead, she asked Qin Yuqi where she had previously roamed the Martial World?
Qin Yuqi immediately recounted it vividly, and as she talked excitedly, the phoenix hairpin on her head trembled slightly.
As she was telling, her phoenix hairpin got stolen, and tracing its whereabouts... she unexpectedly met that third young master.
Upon hearing this, Wu Qianhuan’s gaze brightened slightly.
From Wu Ganqi’s words, she had already roughly understood Chu Qing’s whereabouts.
The identity of the Night Emperor was concealed, yet suddenly there appeared a third young master.
In Divine Blade City, these two people emerged one after another.
The third young master made a stunning appearance at Luochun Manor...
If it were someone else, like Prince Mu, they’d make a far-fetched connection, forcibly linking the two together.
But Wu Qianhuan knew that Chu Qing would undoubtedly go to Luochun Manor.
Because Gentle is the eldest daughter of Luochun Manor.
With his martial arts, in such a situation, it’s impossible for him to do nothing at all.
So the answer was clear... The third young master was another guise of Chu Qing.
And the title ’third young master’ provided too strong an indication of identity.
Chu Qing was originally ranked third...
Unexpectedly, Chu Tian’s wife would encounter her little brother-in-law but wouldn’t recognize him, which was quite amusing.
However, from Qin Yuqi’s words, Wu Qianhuan realized that Chu Qing’s martial arts seemed even more profound now.
One wondered if she was still a burden to him now?
The two women chatted intermittently, when suddenly they heard hurried footsteps approaching.
It was the Chu Family’s head steward, Zhou Temple.
"Uncle Zhou, slow down, be careful not to fall."
As Qin Yuqi said this, her brows suddenly furrowed, appearing somewhat uncomfortable.
Zhou Temple didn’t have time for pleasantries and hurriedly spoke:
"Young Madam, there’s urgent news about the young master... He’s in trouble."
"What?"
Qin Yuqi’s heart skipped a beat as she abruptly rose, but she lost her footing and nearly fell backward!
Wu Qianhuan, quick on her feet, caught her supportively.
Qin Yuqi steadied herself, not fainting, and asked in a steady voice:
"Uncle Zhou, what does the message say? What happened to the young master?"
Zhou Temple looked worriedly at Qin Yuqi before speaking:
"The young master went to assist a friend at their request.
"But unexpectedly encountered villains halfway; after a chaotic fight, he went missing...
"The messenger said it was Ghost Lamp Wuchen, and in the end, they found only the jade pendant he carried."
He spoke, taking a jade pendant from his pocket and handing it to Qin Yuqi.
The jade pendant, resembling a moon ring, was clear and translucent.
Back then, they exchanged tokens of their affection, and Qin Yuqi gave this jade pendant to Chu Tian.
Qin Yuqi took a deep breath, seeing traces of blood on the jade pendant.
Her eyes reddened instantly, and she took a deep breath:
"Where did it happen? I... I’m going to find him."
As she spoke, she felt waves of dizziness.
Wu Qianhuan, seeing her condition, quickly stopped her:
"Sister-in-law, don’t rush yet; the situation is still unclear.
"As long as there’s no body, Brother Chu Tian is still alive...
"Take care of your health first. Uncle Zhou, please fetch a doctor. I have a sense that sister-in-law’s health seems not quite right."
Zhou Temple nodded immediately.
He also blamed himself for looking for the young madam in such a situation; he should have gone to find the master instead.
But for the past few years, all matters great and small had been entrusted to Chu Tian. With him absent, it was natural to find the young madam.
He berated himself while hurriedly going to fetch a doctor.
Finally, he said:
"The message said the incident happened within the territory of Luochun Manor... near Beihu Town."
"Luochun Manor."
Wu Qianhuan suddenly thought of Chu Qing.
Qin Yuqi felt a wave of weakness, biting her lip wanting to say something but unable to speak.
There was also a subtly unbearable abdominal pain.
Wu Qianhuan could only reassure her, and after a while, the doctor arrived, taking Qin Yuqi’s pulse. He then cupped his fist:
"Congratulations to the young madam; it is the pulse of joy.
"However, it is early in the pregnancy, and the fetal condition is unstable. You were just about to stir the fetal energy due to emotional agitation.
"I will prescribe some medicine to stabilize the pregnancy, and you will be fine after taking them.
"Remember to rest more, think less, and not worry excessively."
After hearing these words, everyone was dumbfounded.
Qin Yuqi reached to touch her abdomen, her eyes full of grief.
The father of the child went out to assist, encountering Ghost Lamp Wuchen, and now his life or death was unknown.
Yet she found herself pregnant...
She forced herself to be resilient, just about to speak, when Wu Qianhuan grabbed her hand:
"Sister-in-law, how about leaving this matter to me?
