Jing Zhe stared blankly into space.
It seems that being criticized is indeed unpleasant, and he finally understands why Bai Qingyuan had fainted repeatedly before.
However, he didn't complain. After all, he had wronged Chu Xia first, and in the end, he should thank her properly.
"Pfft~"
It was rare to see Jing Zhe get the short end of the stick, so Murong Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud. When she noticed Jing Zhe looking at her, she covered her mouth and then narrowed her eyes into crescent moons, saying, "Husband, that's just how Chu Xia is. Don't blame her!"
I don't blame her.
Jing Zhe nodded and glanced at Murong Xi: "I blame you!"
"ah?"
Murong Xi was completely dumbfounded. She had come to persuade others, but how did she end up getting herself into trouble?
Then Jing Zhe said, "You're pregnant now, why are you still out? And not only are you out, but you're running around everywhere? Don't you think you're wrong?"
Seeing Jing Zhe's serious expression, Murong Xi couldn't help but chuckle: "Husband, I was wrong. But I was worried about you."
"..."
These seemed like the best words of love. After hearing them, Jing Zhe once again reached out to hug Murong Xi without restraint. However, this time his movements were very gentle, and he dared not touch Murong Xi's lower abdomen.
He even reached out and gently stroked and lingered his hand on Murong Xi's swollen belly.
"Xi'er, why isn't he moving?"
"Pfft~"
Murong Xi laughed again. Since meeting Jing Zhe, she felt that she had laughed more in this short period of time than in the past few months. She thought that only by his side could she feel at ease and happy.
"It's only been three months, how could she move? Do you think she's carrying a monster?"
Before Murong Xi could answer, Liu Jinghong, who had finished talking to Lu Li and the others, had already returned and directly confronted Jing Zhe.
"Fifth Sister, don't talk nonsense!"
Upon hearing what Liu Jinghong said, Lu Li immediately expressed her dissatisfaction to Pei Yunxi. Liu Jinghong stuck out her tongue and became obedient.
Jing Zhe watched from the side, stunned. He thought to himself, "It really is true that one thing can subdue another. The fearless Fifth Sister is no different from him in front of the Eldest Sister. How comforting!"
However, he had no face to laugh at others, because in front of his seven older sisters, he seemed to be no different from Liu Jinghong in front of Lu Li.
"Xi'er, this is your eldest sister, and this is your fourth sister."
After introducing Murong Xi, Jing Zhe introduced Lu Li and Pei Yunxi: "Eldest sister, fourth sister, this is Xi'er."
"Eldest sister, fourth sister."
Murong Xi said gracefully that she was very happy at the moment. She was carrying Jing Zhe's child, and Jing Zhe was safe and sound. Moreover, he had introduced her to his sisters, which meant that he had feelings for her.
The anxiety she felt before coming to Anguo had disappeared, and she was about to integrate into Jing Zhe's life, which felt wonderful.
Lu Li and Pei Yunxi stepped forward, each taking one of Murong Xi's hands, and said, "You've worked hard! If he dares to bully you again, just tell us!"
One sentence brought tears to Murong Xi's eyes.
"Don't cry, it's bad for the child."
Seeing that Murong Xi's eyes were brimming with tears, Pei Yunxi quickly said something.
Lu Li also said, "Yes, we have many sisters. Are you going to cry every time you see one? If that's the case, the baby will cry even more when it's born!"
After Lu Li finished speaking, Murong Xi indeed stopped crying and almost laughed. Jing Zhe, who was standing next to her, was dumbfounded. Such a dignified and aloof eldest sister would tell such a joke to people? You know, when Lu Li met Qiu Qianqian before, she put on a very high and mighty attitude and didn't give her a kind look. The difference in treatment was quite significant.
In any case, Jing Zhe never dreamed of this.
Su Mochen also stepped forward, reached out and touched Murong Xi's protruding belly, and said, "It's really amazing! When you left before, I didn't quite believe it, but I didn't expect that in just a few days, your belly would already be showing!"
"..."
Lu Li complained, "You're pregnant, how could you have run out like that? It's over a hundred miles from Dulaixi in Yueyao Kingdom to here. What if something goes wrong with that journey?"
"Big sister, I'm worried about him..."
Murong Xi said softly, feeling very sweet inside despite being scolded. In Yueyao Kingdom, although she had relatives and elders, no one had ever spoken to her like this before. It felt so good to be cared for like this!
Pei Yunxi also looked serious: "I know you're worried about him, because we were just as worried about him after hearing about the incident in Jingzhou! But this kind of thing is too risky. Right now, the baby in your belly is the most important thing, and you have to trust him!"
"Fourth Sister is right, I won't dare to do it again."
Murong Xi obediently replied that perhaps because of her pregnancy, or perhaps because of the change in her status and the fact that she never dared to speak out of turn in front of her sister, Murong Xi was much gentler than before and no longer had the sharp and assertive aura she once had.
This is completely different from when he was in Jingzhou, when he was at odds with Zhu Xinning. It just goes to show that time can sometimes really change a person.
Seeing that Murong Xi, the esteemed Empress of Yueyao, could accept their reprimand with such composure, Lu Li and Pei Yunxi exchanged a glance and felt even more satisfied.
At this moment, Lu Li stopped scolding Murong Xi and instead turned to Liu Jinghong, saying, "Fifth brother, it's one thing for Xi'er to be immature, she's pregnant and naturally prone to impulsiveness, but what about you? Didn't you know to stop her? If she stumbles or falls on the road, are you going to take responsibility?"
"How...how can I take responsibility?"
Liu Jinghong was just watching the show from the sidelines, but who knew that she would end up eating her own food?
That wasn't all. Seeing this, Pei Yunxi also spoke up, "Eldest sister is right! Fifth brother was a bit too reckless this time! You're a general, after all, and you didn't think things through! Xi'er is carrying the flesh and blood of our Jing family. She might become our eldest son in the future. If anything happens to her, you'll have nowhere to cry!"
"I…"
Liu Jinghong was speechless. Her legs were on top of her; what could he do if she wanted to get closer? He couldn't very well lock her up, could he?
She wanted to argue back, but then she thought better of it. They were all sisters; it would be too embarrassing to argue in public.
So he obediently admitted his mistake, like a good boy.
Afterwards, the five women started exchanging pleasantries, while Jing Zhe was ignored and no one paid him any attention. Chu Xia stood aside, and when Jing Zhe ran over to say a few words to her, Chu Xia spat in disgust and ran away.
Helpless, Jing Zhe could only go to the side and catch up with Wang De, the deputy general of the Jinghong Iron Cavalry.
