Chapter 85: Do You Have a Concubine?

Xie Jingci thought about the scene and chuckled.

He jokingly said, "Lord Hou might be going crazy."

One black jade was enough to make Hou Yuanji collapse, and now there was a group of wolves.

Xie Jingci could even imagine how good Hou Yuanji's expression was.

Lu Wanyin said dismissively, "I don't care if he's crazy or not."

Xie Jingci likes to see Lu Wanyin's arrogant look, it's very vivid.

“Could it be that he was really bitten to death?”

Just when Hou Yuanji began to suspect that Lu Wanyin and the others might really not be able to come back.

Xuan Qi rushed down from the top of the mountain.

Hou Yuanji stood up suddenly and asked Xuan Qi anxiously: "Where is your master? Why did you abandon your master and run back here alone?"

But Xuan Qi is the most loyal of personal guards. There's no way he'd abandon his master and run away at such a critical moment!

Xuan Qi ignored him and just looked at the waiting exile team: "Is there a midwife?"

Hou Yuanji: ""

Everyone: ""

No one responded to Xuan Qi. Hou Yuanji looked at Xuan Qi in disbelief and said, "Your wife gave birth to a child without telling us."

Xuan Qi: ...It's really not unfair to say that you are stupid.

Hou Yuanji himself also thought this speculation was outrageous. Lu Wanyin had only been married for a few days, how could she possibly have a child?

He then asked, "Is it because your general has a concubine here and she is about to give birth?"

That's not right. Lu Wanyin doesn't seem like such a tolerant person. It would be more like she could have killed the concubine with a needle.

Xuan Qi looked at Hou Yuanji with disdain: "Lord Hou knows a lot. Could it be that you can deliver babies?"

Hou Yuanji finally realized he had strayed from the topic and straightened his expression, saying, "I know nothing! What do you need a midwife for?"

Xuan Qi also did not give Hou Yuanji any face: "Sir Hou, this is our wife's order."

Upon hearing this, Hou Yuanji immediately held his sword and shouted to the team: "Who can deliver a baby? Come out quickly!"

"Come back to me, my lord, I will meet you."

A middle-aged woman in the team weakly raised her hand.

In addition to the Xie family, there are other prisoners in the team.

But Xuan Qi felt that the old woman looked familiar at first sight, and after asking, he found out that she was indeed a servant of the Xie family.

The servants of the Xie family were more unfortunate than the masters of the Xie family. The masters were demoted to pariahs, but at least they were free there.

But it was different for the servants. They all had tattoos on their faces, and their tattoos would be confiscated when they arrived in the wilderness.

So when the assassins came, Xie Jingci deliberately let some of them go.

The remaining ones who continued to be exiled were those who had scolded Lu Wanyin when King Qi poisoned her.

Xuan Qi had no good feelings towards this old woman.

But because of Lu Wanyin's order, he could only say coldly: "Follow me!"

The old woman looked at Hou Yuanji inquiringly.

How could Hou Yuanji dare to object: "Go ahead!"

The mountain road was difficult to walk on, so Xuan Qi simply grabbed the old woman by the scruff of her neck and quickly rushed back to the cave.

The injured wolves drank the spiritual spring and almost all recovered.

When the old woman saw the cave full of wolves, she was so frightened that she closed her eyes and fainted.

Lu Wanyin: “…”

She signaled Xuan Qi to wake the old woman up. Seeing that the old woman was about to faint again, Xuan Qi pinched her philtrum tightly.

Xuan Qi was very strong and blood immediately appeared on the old woman's philtrum.

This time the pain was so severe that I couldn't faint even though I wanted to.

Lu Wanyin pointed at the female wolf in her arms and said, "She's about to give birth, hurry up and help her deliver the baby."

The old woman managed to calm down, but when she heard that she was going to deliver a wolf baby, she almost knelt down.

She begged, "Madam, I have only delivered women, not wolves!"

Lu Wanyin waved her hand and said, "Almost, hurry up."

There would be no accidents if the she-wolf drank the spiritual spring water.

So as long as this woman doesn't do anything too outrageous, she should be able to give birth to the baby.

Xie Jingci said coldly, "Just follow your experience as a midwife. If you succeed, I'll let you go and even arrange for you to retire on the farm."

When the old woman heard that she was to be let go, her eyes lit up.

Who doesn't know that the general and his wife have the final say in the exile team now?

She was no longer afraid and walked up to the she-wolf in two or three steps: "Then let me give it a try!"

Lu Wanyin made way: "Just tell me if you need anything."

The old woman said, "It would be nice if we had hot water and hot towels."

Lu Wanyin: “Yes.”

The old woman: ""

Sure enough, Lu Wanyin turned around and brought out a basin of hot water from behind the rock.

She remained calm and said, "It's cold in the cave. I had a fever."

The old woman nodded blankly: "That couldn't be better."

After nearly an hour, the she-wolf finally gave birth.

Lu Wanyin looked at the three wolf cubs gathered on the ground. They had been cleaned by the old woman and their eyes were not even open. They looked very cute.

She picked one up lovingly and said, "Small things are really cute."

The leader wolf knelt beside the female wolf and licked her fur continuously.

The two wolves snuggled together, the picture was quite warm.

Lu Wanyin held the wolf cub in her arms, and inexplicably felt the happiness of being a grandmother.

"But your wife just gave birth and needs to rest. It's cold outside now, and it's not a good idea for you to follow us on the journey with the wolf cub."

Lu Wanyin said as she placed the wolf cub next to the mother wolf.

She said to the wolf leader, "The wilderness is far away, and the road is not easy to travel. If you really want to follow, then wait until the child is older and come back."

The leader wolf obviously understood and lay down beside Lu Wanyin's trouser leg, making a whining sound.

Xuan Qi said happily: "Madam, he seems reluctant and just wants to follow you!"

Lu Wanyin patted the wolf's head and said, "Be obedient and take care of your wife and children first."

The leader wolf whimpered twice, which was considered as his agreement.

Xie Jingci sent Xuan Qi to arrange a place for the midwife.

Then the two of them planned to leave.

Unexpectedly, the wolf leader bit Lu Wanyin's trouser leg again.

Lu Wanyin was puzzled: "Didn't we just agree on this? Why are you going back on your word?"

But the leader wolf didn't let go and pulled her trouser leg and walked out again.

This time even Xie Jingci understood that he was going to take Lu Wanyin somewhere.

Lu Wanyin was shocked: "Could it be that you have a concubine and a she-wolf who is about to give birth?"

The leader wolf whimpered and shook his head, pulling hard.

Lu Wanyin said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

The wolf pack was left in the cave to look after the cubs. The leader wolf led three male wolves and took Lu Wanyin and the other two into the mountains.

The further he went in, the stronger Xie Jingci felt that previous feeling of something being wrong became.

Lu Wanyin also smelled that strange smell again.

The leader wolf was still moving forward. Lu Wanyin and the other two looked at each other and both felt very strange.

Until the leader wolf stopped in front of a stream that was almost dried up.

That strange smell reached its peak here.

The stones in the stream were an abnormal red.

The leader wolf pointed at the stream with his paw and whimpered twice.

Xie Jingci's expression became serious: "There's something wrong with this stream."
