Chapter 838 Are you a fake medicine seller?

Xu Yu led his men to settle the sleeping Nuonuo and Yuanbao. He came out of the inner room and before he could say a word, he was hit on the back of his head by Old Qi with a dull sound like hitting a melon with his bare hands.

Seeing this, Sang Zhixia subconsciously wanted to reach out to help, but the great wizard held her wrist.

The great wizard looked solemn: "Concentrate, don't move."

Sang Zhixia was pushed onto a chair as soon as he met the great wizard. Apart from that, the great wizard said nothing, and Old Qi also had a gloomy face and remained silent.

Xu Yu had just come out when he encountered this situation and was slapped. He covered the place where he was hit and opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Old Qi grabbed the back of his neck and kicked him in the butt.

Xu Yu: “…”

Xu Yu took a deep breath: "I'm almost thirty, you..."

"You're so embarrassed to say that."

Qi Lao was really not satisfied and kicked again, gnashing his teeth and saying, "You've grown old but you don't have any brains at all!"

"Nuonuo and Yuanbao are almost four years old. You're a first-time dad, a young boy? How could you not know anything?"

Xu Yu's eyes narrowed instantly and his breathing became lighter.

Old Qi slapped him on the back again with hatred: "Stupid thing!"

"It would have been fine if you said you couldn't tell back then because you had no experience, but you still don't have experience now?"

"Your wife is already three months pregnant, how can you be a father!"

Mr. Qi's shocking words stunned the couple on the spot, and Sang Zhixia's faces showed the same confusion and shock.

The Great Wizard was amused by this, "No, it's not obvious that the father is so carefree, so why is it that the mother herself is confused?"

"Girl, didn't you notice it at all?"

Sang Zhixia's mind went blank after being asked this question. After a moment of silence, she suppressed her surprise and nodded very frankly: "I really didn't pay much attention..."

Over the past year, many things have been going on, and I have been plagued by all kinds of troubles.

In addition, she and Xu Yu had been apart for a long time and she had no time to think about this matter.

not to mention……

There had been no further activity since Nuonuo and Yuanbao were born, and Sang Zhixia didn't take the matter to heart.

But who would have thought that fate, which was determined by chance, would come at such a critical juncture.

Sang Zhixia still found it incredible. She paused and said cautiously, "Are you sure I'm pregnant? Could it be a mistake?"

"I vomited a lot when I was pregnant with Nuonuo and Yuanbao, but I don't feel any discomfort this time."

"No mistake."

The Great Wizard smiled and withdrew his hand, saying gently, "Different reactions during pregnancy are normal. Fortunately, although you haven't noticed it, your pulse is strong and steady. Both mother and fetus are doing well."

Sang Zhixia forced a smile, not knowing what to say.

Old Qi slapped Xu Yu on the back with a dark face: "You bastard."

"It's been three months and I still don't know anything. I haven't had any protection during this period. Fortunately, nothing went wrong. Otherwise, I wonder who you'd be crying to!"

Xu Yu was beaten by Qi Lao like a cuju ball on the ground, and he didn't dare to refute a word.

Thinking about what he had experienced in the past three months, Xu Yu's back was covered in cold sweat.

The first three months of pregnancy are often the most unsettling for women, and they have to pay extra attention to their food, clothing, housing and transportation.

But in the past few months, Sang Zhixia was forced to fight with others, had disputes and got angry.

If the baby in her belly was not healthy and the mother was not strong, if there was any slight mistake during the journey, it would have been...

Xu Yu's face turned pale in an instant. In panic and helplessness, his first reaction was to look at Sang Zhixia.

Mr. Qi misunderstood what he meant, rolled up his sleeves, glared and wanted to hit him.

The Great Wizard saw the head and said: "You are grabbing a good general and beating him like a little chicken. Is this appropriate?"

Just as Qi Lao was about to retort, the Great Wizard said slowly, "Instead of holding them here, why not let them rest early?"

"It's been a tiring journey from the villa. You were disturbed so much while you were there that it was hard to sleep well. Even if you don't feel sorry for our general, you should at least feel sorry for this girl."

"It's almost dawn. People with double bodies can't stand being angry or tired either."

Every word the great wizard said hit the nail on the head, but Qi didn't refute a single word.

The great wizard stood up calmly and said, "Alright, I'll get this old man out of here. Xu Yu, you quickly pack up and take your wife to rest."

"The two children are being watched by a few of us old folks. There's no need to get up so early. The prince won't blame us if he knows."

Old Qi was unable to resist and was taken away by the great wizard. Only the couple, staring at each other, were left in the huge guest room.

Sang Zhixia was sitting and Xu Yu was standing. They looked at each other for a long time, but Xu Yu seemed to be frozen and even his eyeballs would not move.

Sang Zhixia couldn't help but laugh. She waved her hand in front of Xu Yu's eyes, which were already bulging with excitement. "Dad, what are you thinking about?"

"Are you happy or frightened? Could it be that Master Qi really got confused by your kick?"

Xu Yu was stunned for a moment before grabbing Sang Zhixia's hand. His throat rolled violently and he said in a daze, "Zhizhi, you... I..."

"We have another baby?"

Sang Zhixia nodded with mixed feelings: "Yes."

"Although I realized it a little late, but since Elder Qi and the Great Wizard both said so, it must be true."

Although the child's arrival was unexpected, it is still a good thing.

But Xu Yu's reaction...

Sang Zhixia tilted her head suspiciously and stared at Xu Yu, asking inquiringly, "What on earth is your reaction?"

"Not happy?"

"I'm not I don't have it!"

Xu Yu retorted almost instinctively, blurting out, "Then what about the medicine I took before? Did I take it for nothing?"

"And that cold jade, they say if you wear it long-term you won't have children. I was afraid it wouldn't work, so I used it as a pillow core. How come..."

Xu Yu stopped talking halfway, regret and shock alternating between his expression on his face, and finally settled into a deep coldness in Sang Zhixia's eyes.

"What medicine? What cold jade pillow core?"

"All your food, clothing, and daily necessities have passed through my hands. How come I didn't know about this kind of thing?"

Xu Yu regretted it deeply, knowing that he had let something slip. He quickly said with a smile, "It's nothing. I was just talking nonsense."

"Zhizhi, it's getting late and you can't get tired. I'll help you go inside and rest. We can talk about other things after you've rested well."

Xu Yu was talking so much that he didn't even have time to breathe, and he didn't dare to look at Sang Zhixia.

Sang Zhixia knew at a glance that this person was too guilty to respond, and she was too lazy to ask further questions. She just said casually before closing her eyes and falling asleep, "I can tell even if you don't say it."

"Whether it's active disclosure or passive reporting, figure it out yourself."

After Sang Zhixia finished speaking, she rolled up the quilt, turned her back and said nothing more. It was obvious that she had no intention of giving half of the quilt to Xu Yu.

Xu Yu's outstretched hand paused in mid-air. After a moment, he sighed with a headache, "Zhizhi, rest first."

"When you've rested, I'll tell you the truth, okay?"

Sang Zhixia hummed softly at Xu Yu from the back of her head, but she was so sleepy that she fell asleep before long.

Xu Yu sat on the edge of the bed and silently ground his teeth for a while, then tiptoed out of the bedroom and went straight to where Mr. Qi was.

Old Qi sat in the small garden bathed in the morning light, brewing tea. Xu Yu strode over and uttered through gritted teeth, "Are you a fake medicine seller?"

Mr. Qi: “…”
