Chapter 655 Madam, don't worry, this is a joyous occasion!

Madam Pei glanced at the urn containing Li Qingluo's ashes, her face filled with regret.

"Silly child, next time you become an apprentice, remember to choose someone who lives a long life. How come the master of the Witch Moon Sect left so quickly, and now another one has come?"

"Who was this master you worshipped on the road?"

Upon seeing her grandmother and Luo Fan approach, Li Qingluo immediately greeted them, saying, "Grandmother, Grandfather."

With tears in her eyes, she had no choice but to tell the truth: "Luo'er went to the Western Regions... but failed to save Master."

"It is because Luo'er is useless and has failed your trust and expectations."

Please accept my condolences, Grandmother and Grandfather.

Neither Madam Pei nor Luo Fan could believe it.

Luo Fan even chuckled: "Luo'er, stop joking."

"This is not funny at all."

"That ugly thing has always been a dashing and decisive person, and he is also highly skilled in martial arts. Even Your Highness's martial arts skills can only be matched with his. How many people in this world can easily hurt him?"

"He was several years younger than me and your grandmother, how could he have died?"

Madam Pei: "Yes, Luo'er, is your master hiding and putting on an act with you to scare us two old folks?"

"Nangong Di, this kind of pretense is getting boring!"

"Are you blaming me for not telling you about my marriage to Luo Fan?"

"We're treating you to drinks. You can drink as long as you want, as much as you want, until you're completely drunk and nobody will care. Come on out!"

Luo Fan helped Old Madam Pei search everywhere: "Yes, you ugly thing, come out quickly!"

"The three of us haven't even had a proper drink yet, we're supposed to play chess, drink together, and watch you practice your swordplay... Ugly thing, come out here!"

The two elderly people, supporting each other's hands, called out to each other until their eyes reddened.

Even Madam Pei's steps became unsteady and she could no longer stand.

Li Qingluo tried to step forward to help her grandmother, but Duan Rongshi held her tightly by her side.

He shook his head at Li Qingluo and glanced at her stomach.

Li Qingluo, her eyes red, was about to step forward to explain when she saw Xuan Cang and the others step forward first.

They bowed deeply to Madam Pei and Luo Fan.

"Madam, it's Doctor Luo."

"Our master has passed away. Please accept our deepest condolences."

"Junior Sister has suffered a lot for Master along the way, from Eagle King City to Loulan, and then from Loulan to Hala City."

"He even risked everything for his master, dealing with the King of Loulan and Princess Anar."

"If it weren't for my junior sister, none of us might have survived those brushes with death."

“Even my junior sister risked her life to enter the inner palace of the imperial court and met the Western Regions Emperor, Marquis Gudu.”

"My master's death is no one's responsibility."

"It was his own choice that he made willingly."

"He saved the people he wanted to save, making up for the regrets and shortcomings in his own life."

“Although we, his disciples, and you two, his old friends, are very reluctant to part with him, perhaps if we let go, he can leave in peace.”

"Let's leave it at that. We will live well with our master's last wishes."

"Please, you two, don't be too sad. You must take good care of yourselves."

As Xuan Cang finished speaking, word by word, Old Madam Pei could no longer hold back her tears and they streamed down her face.

Luo Fan still murmured in disbelief, "How could this be?"

"how so……"

"You ugly thing, how could you bear to abandon us?"

"You're so heartless!"

Madam Pei: "What exactly happened? What happened during your trip to the Western Regions?"

"Luo'er, quickly tell your grandmother..."

Madam Pei came forward in a fit of emotion, and Zhang Mama quickly helped her up.

"Madam, please don't worry, this old servant will look after the young lady..."

Granny Zhang noticed that Li Qingluo's figure was a bit off.

Although she was wearing heavy furs, Que'er, Zheng Mama, and even His Highness Prince Su stayed by her side almost every step of the way to protect her.

Those careful movements.

Even the way the girl walked made Granny Zhang suspicious.

Could it be...?

Because of Nangong Di's matter, Madam Pei did not notice the changes in Li Qingluo.

Although she felt sorry for the hardships Li Qingluo had endured, Nangong Di's death was a greater shock to her.

That's why she wanted to find out as soon as possible what had happened that made Nangong Di willingly choose to die.

Li Qingluo also wanted to explain clearly.

She followed and walked towards Madam Pei: "Grandmother, actually..."

Before she could finish speaking, her figure swayed.

Then, clutching her dizzy head, she could no longer stand.

"Ah Shi, I..."

Li Qingluo raised her head, her face pale.

The group of people who returned with Li Qingluo gasped in surprise.

Duan Rongshi's expression also changed instantly.

He grabbed her with lightning speed and lifted Li Qingluo up in his arms.

“Grandmother, Luo’er is already more than six months pregnant. This is really not the time to talk about Senior Nangong.”

"Luo'er has overcome many obstacles along the way, and she is pregnant herself. She has already suffered enough."

"Let's spare her for now."

"There will be plenty of time to explain Senior Nangong's matter later."

After saying this, Duan Rongshi nodded heavily, then picked up Li Qingluo and strode away.

Li Qingluo could only weakly utter, "Grandmother, I'll explain to you later..."

"Don't be sad..."

Seeing Li Qingluo being carried away by Duan Rongshi, Old Madam Pei almost fell backward.

This startled everyone, who gasped in surprise once again.

"Madam!"

Granny Zhang: "Madam, please don't be anxious, this is a joyous occasion!"

Madam Pei's face turned deathly pale with regret and disbelief: "Yes. Luo'er...she's pregnant?"

"My Luo'er has her own child?"

"What... what did I just do? She's already suffered so much from all that traveling, and I kept interrogating her..."

"I...I'm so senile! I didn't even realize how wronged this child was!"

"I'm sorry to her."

"It's all my fault! I deserve to die."

"Old Zhang, Luo Fan, why do you think sad and happy things happen at the same time?"

"I'm not a good grandmother, I'm so sorry to Luo'er."

Luo Fan quickly calmed down the flustered Madam Pei: "This is not your fault, Xiuzhen, don't worry."

"Aren't you also unaware of the truth and overly concerned about Nangong Zhi's death?"

"If something bad happens to you in your haste, what will happen to Luo'er?"

"She had just lost her master, and the journey back was exhausting, which is why she almost fainted."

"Don't be afraid. I, as her grandfather, will take good care of her personally and meticulously. I will do everything in my power to ensure that nothing happens to Luo'er."

"Let's go, I'll go and take a look at Luo'er myself."

"Seeing you will put my mind at ease."

"I'm getting senile; I didn't even notice anything unusual about Luo'er."

Luo Fan pulled Madam Pei and chased after Duan Rongshi in the direction he had left, and a group of people behind them also quickly followed in the direction of the main courtyard.

Fortunately, Li Qingluo was indeed not seriously injured.

It was only because he was too tired, his heart was in disarray, and he was overwhelmed with grief over Nangong Di's death that he couldn't hold on for a moment.

After carefully taking his pulse, Luo Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

He placed Li Qing under house arrest.

"You are not allowed to leave this courtyard for at least ten days!"

"You need to rest, Luo'er."

Even the best physical condition can't withstand this kind of abuse.

"Fortunately, the fetus is healthy, but if you don't want to deplete your own essence any further, you can't do anything reckless anymore, do you understand?"

Luo Fan's expression was very serious.

Madam Pei and Duan Rongshi listened more attentively than Li Qingluo, the person directly involved.

Madam Pei: "Did you hear that? You must listen to your grandfather. Let's focus on getting better first. You and the baby in your womb are the most important."

Duan Rongshi also told her, "Be obedient."

Li Qingluo turned her head to look to the left and then to the right, knowing that even if she didn't want to follow her grandfather's words, she probably couldn't this time.

She sighed deeply, "Fine..."

"I will be a good boy/girl. Don't worry about me."

"Grandmother, Luo'er is really alright, please don't worry about Luo'er, okay?"

Madam Pei couldn't help but tear up: "Alright."

"My Luo'er is still so sensible."

"Grandma, I am so gratified and happy to have such a wonderful granddaughter as you in this lifetime."

"Luo'er, you must take good care of yourself. Your grandmother wants you to live to be a hundred years old, you know?"

Li Qingluo leaned gently against her grandmother's shoulder.

A little while later, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

When she woke up again, it was already midnight.

Duan Rongshi was not in the room.

But as soon as Li Qingluo woke up, he learned of the news and immediately rushed back from the front yard.

Li Qingluo was eating by herself.

Seeing that she had a good appetite, Duan Rongshi's eyes softened.

"Luo'er".

He sat beside her, chin in hand, gazing at her with tenderness.

Li Qingluo: "Hmm? What's wrong?"

Why are you staring at me?

Li Qinglu touched her face, thinking that she had become uglier in the past six months.

Because it was in a house with a heated floor, Li Qingluo was only wearing a thin shirt.

Only now can we clearly see just how big her belly is.

However, Duan Rongshi was not looking at her stomach at this moment.

Duan Rongshi still feels a bit uneasy about Luo'er's pregnancy, as if it's not quite real.

So, he was lost in thought several times during the meeting in the front hall, and didn't even hear what Po Feng and Wei Zhaolie were saying.

Upon hearing the report that she had woken up, he hurriedly interrupted the meeting and rushed back.

It turns out that just watching her eat made me feel at ease.

He reached out and pulled her up, then sat her on his lap.

"You eat, I'll just watch you eat."

Li Qingluo chuckled helplessly, "How can I possibly eat like this?"

What's wrong with you?

"Ah Shi, are you alright?"
