Chapter 161 Grandmother?

"What are you all doing here?!"

While Xie Lixing was stunned, the housekeeper hurried forward and scolded the servants.

The servants seemed to have just come to their senses. They hurriedly stood up, greeted Xie Li, and then returned to their seats to do their work.

Everyone made way and the aroma instantly filled the air.

Butler: “…” No wonder they are all lying here, it smells so good!

Xie Lixing also thought so, but he didn't show it on his face. He said to the housekeeper, "You go down too."

He wanted to see what his princess was eating and get some.

"Go and prepare bowls and chopsticks for the prince!" Hearing Xie Lixing's voice, Yueli ordered the maid next to her.

Mr. Danmu never lies to her. This hot pot is really delicious!

When Xie Lixing walked in, the maid had just brought the bowl and chopsticks. He didn't hesitate and sat down to eat.

"What is this?" After the food entered his mouth, Xie Lixing's serious face became gentle, and he asked Yueli.

He had never seen such food before.

“This is called hot pot.”

Yueli proudly introduced the recipe to Xie Lixing, who nodded repeatedly and thought it was good.

…

Only after they had eaten their fill did Yueli reluctantly put down her bowl and chopsticks.

Fortunately, my family has the conditions, so I can eat it often in the future!

"Li'er, I found out some things recently." After eating, Xie Lixing talked about business with Yueli.

His expression became serious, and the satisfaction on Yueli's face also disappeared.

She looked at Xie Lixing, "What is it?"

"The old man of the Xue family once went to Miaojiang to study for a period of time. He went there alone and later brought back a woman..." These things were not something that Xie Lixing could investigate on his own.

And his uncle helps.

The Wang family of Langya was extremely powerful. It could be said that there were members of the Wang family throughout the entire dynasty, and it was normal for there to be members of the Wang family near Miaojiang.

Upon hearing the news, Xie Lixing went to the post station to meet his two uncles.

Then he brought the news back to Yueli.

Yueli frowned and thought for a moment, "Is this the old lady of the Xue family?"

Xie Lixing nodded.

Seeing this, Yue Li frowned. "Logically speaking, the people in the court should keep their distance from people from the Miao border. Not to mention, if Mr. Xue wants to marry a Miao girl, his family will definitely not agree."

This shows how much struggle the two went through before they got married.

"That's right, but I don't know what happened. The Xue family suddenly agreed to their marriage, and not long after, your nominal father was born."

"After giving birth to him, Madam Xue disappeared, and Mr. Xue never remarried. Until many years later, a Miao girl appeared..."

Xie Lixing's words gave Yue Li two guesses in her mind.

"You mean, this Miao girl is the chieftain of Miao territory, and the chieftain of Miao territory is the daughter of Mr. Xue? And the old lady of the Xue family is the previous chieftain of Miao territory?"

"No, the old lady of the Xue family was the previous Gu King."

There is a kind of secret Gu in Miaojiang, which is made by humans, and the old lady of the Xue family is that human Gu.

However, I don't know how she managed to escape from Miao territory for a few years before returning.

"Then my mother..."

"Thirty years ago, Miaojiang experienced an internal conflict. The daughter of the human Gu burst out with a powerful talent for refining Gu, and was even chosen by the Gu God to be the chieftain. Thus... the daughter of the human Gu became the new chieftain."

This is the story of the previous chieftain.

Yueli knew that the new chieftain was in the palace. She was curious why women from Miao would appear in the Central Plains every ten years or so?

Guessing Yueli's thoughts, Xie Lixing frowned and explained,

"I suspect they are here to select the right kind of people and then use their sperm to have children."

Yueli's expression changed slightly.

It is not impossible to say so.

The old man of the Xue family was a person selected by the human Gu. The previous chieftain should have also selected one, but no one knows who it was. The current chieftain obviously chose Xie Lixing.

"The human race needs to meet certain conditions, otherwise, no heirs of pure bloodline will be born."

Xie Lixing spoke to Yueli.

Yueli knew nothing about Miaojiang, and it was Xie Lixing who told her all this.

"It's so complicated." She didn't really like listening to complicated stories.

"You just have to remember that if someone wants to use something on you, you have to refuse."

His Li'er is the heir with the purest bloodline. He cannot guarantee whether the Miao chieftain will do anything to his Li'er. Once he does, his Li'er's identity will be lost.

The other party will definitely kill his pear by any means necessary.

"I know." Yueli cherishes herself more than anyone else.

Just like she likes Xie Lixing very much now, there is no way to put Xie Lixing before herself.

After the two of them talked about the official business, Xie Lixing told Yueli another thing, "My uncle said that my grandmother wants to meet you and wants me to take you back to the Wang family to meet her."

Koshiri blinked.

"I'm pregnant now, can I move?"

"There's a miraculous doctor in Langya who's incredibly good at preserving pregnancy. We need to go there to preserve the pregnancy..."

Xie Lixing has found all the reasons.

"It seems that I have no choice but to go."

Xie Lixing hoped that Yueli would go.

He wanted his family to know Yueli and get to know Yueli. It would be best if... he held another wedding in Langya. He felt that the previous wedding was held when Yueli was not sincere.

She didn't like it and was unwilling to do it.

He wanted to marry Yuri willingly.

Xie Lixing did not tell Yueli about this hypocritical idea because he was afraid that Yueli would laugh at him if she knew.

"Um."

Even if she didn't want to go, he would take her away.

After agreeing to go to Langya, Yueli began to prepare a list of gifts and took many precious calligraphy and paintings from the palace's warehouse to bring to Langya.

Yueli's concern made Xie Lixing feel more satisfied.

His wife is preparing gifts for his family...

His wife! (*^^*)

Is his Li'er also looking forward to this trip to Langya? ヽ(°°)ノ

Xie Lixing has been in a particularly good mood recently, and everyone in the court can feel it. He has begun to stop targeting those who cause trouble for him in the court.

Everyone suspected that he was in high spirits because of good news. Yueli was pregnant and he was going to be a father, so he was trying to accumulate good karma for his child.

Therefore, the people who thought they had guessed the truth became more provocative.

Liu Yuanzhou stood behind the prince, constantly looking at Xie Lixing, and the resentment in his heart became more and more obvious.

Yueli is pregnant...

She is pregnant with Xie Lixing’s child!

Liu Yuanzhou kept turning his head to look at him. Xie Lixing had noticed it a long time ago, so he turned his head and stared at Liu Yuanzhou closely. When Liu Yuanzhou looked over, he showed a very smug smile.

"Seventh Prince, you're paying so much attention to me. Is it because you want to congratulate me on becoming a father?"

Even in the court, Xie Lixing could not be made to shut up and provoke Liu Yuanzhou.

Liu Yuanzhou's face twisted for a moment, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Really? Congratulations to the Regent!"
