"How could anyone use the word 'see'? It must have happened before, but you just don't want to say it." Xiang Ping looked at Ji Heng, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. He must be hiding something.

Seeing that he was sullen and unwilling to speak, Xiang Ping had to give up. Meanwhile, Shu'er's morning sickness symptoms became more and more obvious, and Ji Heng came to her side in fear.

"How are you, my lady?"

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me..." Shu'er held a handkerchief in her hand and the servants beside her were guarding the door obediently. If there was any movement, they would come over.

"But your belly is getting bigger and bigger. Sooner or later, the princess will notice it."

"That's why I lied about being sick during this period of time. You must not tell her that I'm pregnant." Shu'er's hidden intention was just to prevent Gu Yunru from worrying.

"Okay, since you think so, I can only respect your wishes." Ji Heng brought the red dates and pea soup over. Shu'er just took a sip and praised his cooking skills.

"This is so many times better than what I did for you last time. It seems that I am still not as good as you in this aspect." Shu'er took a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her mouth. Looking at Ji Heng who was becoming more and more gentle and considerate to her, she felt indescribable joy in her heart.

"I'm afraid your skillful hands are only suitable for embroidering handkerchiefs or something like that. Don't worry about the cooking, just leave it to me." Ji Heng was very obedient to her and it could be said that he had become a different person. Shu'er slowly leaned on his shoulder, feeling a little confused.

"My husband, if you find out that I have lied to you one day, what will you do?"

"My lady, what do you mean by that? Even if you want to lie to me, it must be a white lie, so I won't mind it." Ji Heng's pampering and care for her have deeply touched her heart.

"Husband, you have really changed a lot. I still remember when we got married, you were always hot and cold towards me. At that time, even if I was kind to you from the bottom of my heart, you would not be able to recall it. But now it's different..." Shu'er pressed his hand contentedly, feeling indescribable joy in her heart.

Xiangping was halfway there when he saw that the weather was clear, so he wanted to go up the mountain to see if there were any fresh herbs. In order to combine medicinal diet with food, he had to get fresh herbs. Xiangping went up the mountain alone, but he didn't expect to see a few big men teasing a village woman halfway there.

The village girl is very pretty and charming. Even a girl would be extremely worried about her after seeing her.

"Stop, what are you doing?!" Xiang Ping roared when he saw injustice, which scared the big men. However, when they saw that the other party was a woman, the men were not afraid, but became more excited.

"Girl, don't worry about me and just go away!" The woman looked very panicked and scared.

"Of course I don't want to care about you, but how can I not take action when encountering such a thing?" Xiang Ping sneered and secretly prepared the poison behind her. As long as these big men dared to approach, she would immediately sprinkle the poison powder under their eyes, which would at least leave scars or blindness.

But what Xiangping never expected was that one of her accomplices suddenly appeared from behind her, took the poison from her hand and waved it in front of her.

"Little girl, how can you use this kind of thing carelessly?" The man showed a lewd smile and looked at Xiangping. She was fair-skinned, beautiful, and curvy. She was a rare beauty. And this girl seemed to have a temper. She even wanted to use chili powder to blind their eyes. Without saying a word, he threw the bottle into the deep mountains and forests.

"Oh! That's my precious snow vegetable!" Xiang Ping felt sorry for her treasure. These chili powders were mixed from thousands of kinds of chili peppers. When they were gathered together, they could be extracted to be toxic. If you keep them around and add a drop to the dish, the taste will be unforgettable. If you want to use it to kill people, you can do it, but a drop in the eyes will definitely cause blindness.

The big man saw her rushing to find the bottle, and quickly grabbed her wrist, grinning at her and said, "Little girl, since you came out by yourself, we brothers must treat you well, so as not to let you down, don't you think?"

"You! Shameless!" Xiang Ping stomped on his toes in frustration, and the man really hugged his legs and started spinning on the spot. He looked so funny.

"Help! Help!" Xiangping screamed, and suddenly a piece of sackcloth was stuffed into her mouth. She could only watch in despair as the gang of people groped her, and it seemed that they had already prepared ropes to help them tie her up.

In the blink of an eye, a figure suddenly appeared before one could see clearly, and beat those people to a pulp. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be that weirdo Ding Ning. He was still dressed in old-fashioned clothes, unkempt, serious, and looked extremely cold.

"Ding Ning, please save us!" Xiangping shouted at him excitedly and spit out the cloth in his mouth.

"You little bastard, please stop meddling in other people's business. Do you know who we are?" Several men arrogantly showed the tattoos on their arms. They turned out to be members of the Du Zun faction. Xiang Ping narrowed her eyes fiercely. Who knows how many rapes, fornications and robberies these unscrupulous beasts have committed.

"I don't care who you are. You ruined my mood, and you all have to die!" As soon as Ding Ning finished speaking, he drew out his sword and killed them all. Xiang Ping covered his eyes in fear, but the woman stared at Ding Ning's skills, and it can be said that she didn't look away.

"Okay, you guys should leave quickly. We shouldn't stay here for long." Ding Ning cut their ropes, and the woman walked forward, bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, young man."

"You're welcome. I'm here because of this woman."

"Ah, me?" Xiang Ping realized it belatedly. She looked at Ding Ning, rubbed her sore arm, and walked forward. She thought this weirdo had some interest in her, but it turned out that he came to her rescue because he felt bad about what happened at Huajianlou.

"From now on, we owe each other nothing." Ding Ning said this coldly, then he used Qinggong to leave. Looking at his skills, he was like a flying goose flying through the clouds, light and fast. Xiangping had seen his brother use such martial arts before, but it was only a blink of an eye and the person was gone. To be able to practice such advanced kung fu, one must start from childhood.

"Thank you for your righteous rescue just now, but I didn't expect that I almost got you into trouble. Would you like to come to my house and sit for a while?" The village woman smiled at her, wanting to thank her sincerely.
