Chapter 300

After Gu Zhongtai kicked over several people, he gave a whistle, and more experts rushed in from the second floor.

The tide has turned.

The group of people then realized there was no hope.

After gritting their teeth, the ringleaders, who were deeply involved, had no choice but to commit suicide.

But when they tried to bite open the venom sac inside their teeth...

But his jaw was dislocated by the experts.

Gu Zhongtai sneered: "Want to die but have no cure? You're all too naive."

This kind of suicide ploy is nothing new to the Ancient Moon Cult.

And no one knows better than them how to deal with it.

After subduing these people, they finally learned the whereabouts of Fan Xiaoxiao and Bai Chaoyan based on clues provided by the hostages at the inn.

"So that the master may know, the ladies and wives have gone into the kitchen."

Just then, the sounds of fighting indeed came from the kitchen.

Gu Zhongtai's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately rushed in first!

Inside, the coachman and Bai Chaoyan were fighting and killing those people.

Three of the four thieves fell.

Even with his decent martial arts skills, he couldn't hold on, and Bai Chaoyan's soft sword pierced his shoulder.

Large swaths of blood flowed freely.

There was no need for Gu Zhongtai and others to take action; Bai Chaoyan had already taken care of it.

Just now, the people guarding outside and the two or three who had fled in panic, unable to wait for the people searching inside to come out, all opened the cellar door and tried to go in.

However, Bai Chaoyan and the others were well prepared.

A bag of flour was thrown at the person.

None of the four of them expected this!

But they were skilled fighters after all, and they quickly fled.

Bai Zhaoyan's soft sword and the coachman's stick both missed their mark.

But the expert's perception is very sharp, and he immediately noticed that a fight had broken out outside.

Time was of the essence, and Bai Chaoyan immediately decided to take these people down. If she lost this opportunity, she would hardly have another chance to survive.

Not long after that, the two of them defeated the thieves and Gu Chongtai broke in.

"Where is my wife?!" Gu Zhongtai didn't care about anything else and quickly looked at Bai Chaoyan to ask.

The latter's eyes suddenly reddened, and she burst into tears!

Gu Zhongtai's face turned pale, and a sense of unease rose in his heart, almost making him lose his temper!

"Is she injured? Or..."

He dared not utter that word.

"No." Fortunately, the coachman was reliable and quickly said, "Madam Fan is not injured, but she has fainted and is inside."

Gu Zhongtai's inner pain was immediately relieved.

Seeing that Bai Chaoyan's expression was somewhat angry, she cried before explaining herself, trying to drive him crazy.

Bai Chaoyan quickly wiped away her tears: "Quick! Quick! It's very cold in the ice cellar, we need to carry them out quickly!"

Gu Zhongtai dared not delay any longer and rushed in to carry the person away.

...

...

Fan Xiaoxiao wasn't too dizzy, and she woke up slowly after a while, finding herself back at her residence.

She was completely held in Gu Zhongtai's arms.

She immediately wanted to get up; if there were other people around, wouldn't she be incredibly embarrassed?

This is especially true in ancient times when the traditional ethics and customs were stricter than they are today.

"You're awake?" Gu Zhongtai immediately perked up when he felt the person in his arms move.

"Hmm." Fan Xiaoxiao propped herself up slightly against the headboard and carefully looked around.

Fortunately, it was just the two of them.

That makes sense; with Gu Zhongtai clinging to him so tightly, no one would feel comfortable staying in the room.

"I've already sent someone to fetch a doctor, so my wife needn't worry." Gu Chongtai raised his hand and patted her back. "Are you feeling unwell?"

At this moment, Fan Xiaoxiao truly felt inexplicably weak all over and her spirits were not very high.

The thought of the food and other items in the cellar still makes my head spin.

But fearing that her husband would worry, she smiled and shook her head, saying, "I'm fine."

"The money in our family doesn't grow on trees, especially in these turbulent times. Why spend money to hire a doctor?"

"Now that I'm awake, I'll send someone to report back."

“No.” Gu Zhongtai shook his head solemnly: “I reckon the person will be here soon, and I’ll feel more at ease if I see them.”

He grasped Fan Xiaoxiao's hand: "Madam usually travels over mountains and valleys, but she has never been so tired that she fainted. She must have been frightened."

"It would be best to have the doctor prescribe a medicine to help you recover."

"..." Fan Xiaoxiao thought about it and realized it made sense. She had used that thing that looked like a rain of pear blossom needles when she was hiding in the cellar, and she had fainted not long afterward.

The venom extracted from there isn't cheap.

It would be bad if I accidentally got poisoned; it's best to get it checked out for safety.

Not long after.

The doctor then arrived carrying his medicine box.

Fan Xiaoxiao lay on the bed, extending her fair wrist and placing it on the pulse pillow.

The doctor was calm at first, but after a while his brows furrowed.

Fan Xiaoxiao immediately became uneasy.

I wondered if I really had been poisoned?

But that shouldn't be the case. She didn't show any strange symptoms of poisoning like palpitations.

I didn't feel any pain anywhere.

Gu Zhongtai, standing to the side, became even more flustered and hurriedly asked, "What happened? Could my wife have been ambushed?"

He had already planned it all out: if anything went wrong with his wife, he would wipe out the Gan family and the other families in charge.

"Don't rush, don't rush." ​​The old man stroked his beard. "It's better to be accurate in these matters."

"It wouldn't be good if we made a mistake."

Fan Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, glanced at Gu Zhongtai, and said gently, "Doctor, please speak."

"Life and death are preordained. No matter what the circumstances, I will find out sooner or later."

After a few seconds, the old doctor released his grip, carefully put away the pulse pillow, and then smiled and cupped his hands in greeting: "Congratulations to you both, it's a pregnancy pulse."

"So it's a pregnancy test... wait a minute." Fan Xiaoxiao was a little confused, and it took her a while to react: "What pregnancy test? Me?"

She was a little incredulous, but also felt a sense of surprise.

"So, Madam, you're going to be a mother! Congratulations!"

Overwhelmed with emotion, Gu Zhongtai immediately ordered, "Guards, bestow a generous reward!"

"No! Everyone in the entire manor should see and receive a reward!"

After giving some instructions, the doctor left, and everyone in the mansion was overjoyed.

Fan Xiaoxiao watched him cry and laugh at the same time.

"Madam! I'm going to be a father!"

"lady!!"

"Yes, yes, yes." She smiled, her eyes crinkling.

The next second, she was lifted into the air and hoisted high into the air: "I'm going to be a dad!"

"Hey hey hey!!! Put me down!"

"Ah." Gu Zhongtai heard the panic in her voice and quickly and gently put her back on the bed: "Look how happy I am that I forgot everything."

"The doctor just said that the fetus is easily affected within the first three months. I was too careless."

"It's alright, husband, just be careful in the future." Fan Xiaoxiao naturally couldn't bear to blame him.

He immediately grabbed her hand and said, "Okay, I'll be careful every day and make sure you never bump into anything."

"Huh?" Fan Xiaoxiao asked in surprise, "You don't need to do anything else?"
