Chapter 156 A Slip of the Tongue



Why didn't you say you would die in childbirth?

Lu Xiangze's face turned pale, and his tone became urgent.

Su Qiao instantly realized that she had let something slip.

Nian Nian spoke very quickly, and Su Qiao couldn't hear her clearly.

Su Qiao only remembered it after careful recollection.

"Perhaps I didn't hear clearly. Or it might not be true."

Su Qiao subconsciously comforted Lu Xiangze.

Lu Xiangze lowered his head and held her hand tightly, as if afraid that she would disappear in front of him at any moment.

He had originally hoped for a child who combined all the best qualities of both of them.

Now, the thought that Su Qiao might die in childbirth is still fresh in my mind.

All those expectations have vanished.

"We're not having any more children."

Su Qiao realized his emotions and grasped his hand in return.

He patiently reassured her, "I won't let anything happen to myself. Don't worry."

Su Qiao talked about the spiritual spring in her space.

"Look at those spiritual springs, there are still so many left, enough for us to use for a long time. You can use them now, and if I ever have any problems, you can use them to save me."

"But it's not a panacea."

indeed.

This might at most make her a little more awake, but her physical reactions are still out of control.

This also proves that this whole thing was orchestrated by the big player behind the scenes, no doubt about it.

At this point, Xiaobai added.

"Perhaps it's because you changed too much of the trajectory that they decided to eliminate you directly," Xiaobai's words reminded Su Qiao.

"The spiritual spring water is now restricted and can only be used on your immediate family members. Please remember this. Also, it is only effective against situations that threaten your lives."

The two exchanged a glance, each with their own thoughts.

Since we already know the outcome, we must do everything in our power to stop it.

Lu Xiangze recalled what his leader had told him before.

The organization hoped that Lu Xiangze could return to the team after finishing these tasks.

He had only received this news a few days ago.

He was still hesitant about how to handle the situation.

This situation presents a good opportunity.

Lu Xiangze carefully considered his words before speaking.

"Actually, I didn't retire from the military; I was just carrying out a covert mission before."

Upon hearing this, the strange thoughts that had been swirling in Su Qiao's mind suddenly found their source.

Seeing that her reaction was relatively normal, Lu Xiangze continued, "The mission here has now been completed and is nearing completion. The organization has asked me to consider returning to the team after the mission is completed and to re-establish my identity in the open."

It was also to protect my safety. Even if we've managed to avoid the ordeal of childbirth, who knows how many unexpected things might happen to us.

I'm now unsure if all the accomplices of those I arrested before have been apprehended. They were all extremely vicious criminals.

They underestimated us the last few times; it's hard to say whether they'll come with weapons next time.

It's always safer in the military family compound, and I can keep an eye on things."

Lu Xiangze's words made sense.

Su Qiao didn't have time to dwell on his concealment; she had already guessed a bit of it last time in the reed marshes.

I am now at peace.

She was also wondering whether or not she should go.

She was a little worried about the children.

Lu Xiangze noticed her hesitation and didn't press her for a choice. He told her to think it over before answering.

Su Qiao also breathed a sigh of relief.

As dawn approached, Su Qiao left the space.

The feeling of heat in my body has disappeared.

I felt much more at ease immediately.

She quickly got ready and went to school.

As soon as I arrived at the school gate, I saw a group of little kids surrounding Liu Si.

I'm very curious about her new outfit.

"Teacher Su."

Liu Si called out timidly.

Su Qiao walked over and bent down to talk to her.

"hello."

Although Liu Si's eyes were bloodshot, she still looked quite excited.

Wearing new clothes makes me feel like a completely different person.

"How are you? Are you doing well?"

"Wow, I've never seen such a big house before!"

Liu Si stretched out her hand and made a big circle.

Su Qiao finally saw some of the liveliness of a child in her.

However, the thought of being a child bride still made Su Qiao's heart skip a beat.

Seeing so many children around her, Su Qiao thought for a moment and changed her words.

How is the other child in the family?

Liu Si paused for a moment, "He's not very talkative, so my aunt wanted me to read with him this time. It would also make it easier for him to communicate with others." Finally, she added, "He has a pretty good temper."

These are Liu Si's true feelings. Compared to her troublesome younger brother at home, this mute brother is much better.

Seeing the little girl happy, Su Qiao breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The woman also came out of the principal's office.

Upon seeing Su Qiao, her expression faltered for a moment. But when her gaze fell upon Liu Si, it softened considerably.

"Sisi, let's go, we're going home." The woman spoke to Liu Si in a kind tone.

The woman was there to handle Liu Si's school registration issue.

But she still remembered the unpleasantness of being stopped by Su Qiao yesterday. Su Qiao hadn't given her a friendly look.

He took Liu Si's hand and left the school without looking back.

Su Qiao watched their retreating figures.

Seemingly lost in thought.

She wanted to ask about the powder, but then she realized that now was not the right time.

Lu Xiang came up behind her.

I gently patted her shoulder.

Why are you staring at it so intently?

"I was just wondering, what does this person do?"

Lu Xiang whispered a few words mysteriously in Su Qiao's ear.

It turned out that the man was originally delivering medicine to the neighboring brigade when he happened to see Liu Si being taken away by Liu's father to be sold, and he couldn't bear to see it happen.

That's when he had the idea to take the person in.

What medicine should I send?

"It seems to be fever reducer. She was quite vague, sometimes saying she needed to find it, sometimes saying she didn't need it."

This was somewhat unexpected for Su Qiao.

This person's attitude is a bit strange, but if it really is that kind of medicine, shouldn't they be anxious to find it?

Not long after Wu Yun left the school, she turned a corner and found her bicycle locked to a tree.

Wu Yun pulled Liu Si onto the bicycle.

She came by oxcart yesterday.

Today, fearing that the little girl might not be able to walk, I specially borrowed a bicycle from a colleague.

Thinking to myself, I need to discuss this with my family another day and get a bicycle ticket as soon as possible, so it will be more convenient to pick up the two kids.

Wu Yun rode her bicycle quite steadily throughout the journey.

I'm a little worried about those medicine powders that have disappeared.

Those were originally fertility medications I was looking for for my sister-in-law; it was so difficult to buy them. I don't know if I'll still be able to find them.

That person said they wouldn't be home anytime soon.

Wu Yun sighed. If she had known, she would have put it away properly, and she wouldn't be worrying about it now.

Wu Yun felt a pang of regret, as it had cost her 5 yuan.

This medicine powder is very effective; the child in my family was born after she took the powder.

Even though he can't speak, at least he's a boy...

Lost in her thoughts, Wu Yun was completely unaware of what was happening.

Her bicycle ran over a small paper package.

Their figures quickly disappeared into the village road.

A slightly hunched figure appeared and picked up the paper package.

Upon opening it, he saw that there was only a tiny bit of powder left inside, and a strange smile curled at the corner of his lips.
