"Demoness, why does it have cultivation base inside?!"

Jiang Jiujue had originally focused all his attention on Xia Ye, but as he watched, his gaze gradually shifted towards Bru...

This dog... Although it was not yet a spirit, the flow of Spiritual Energy in its eyes was definitely not something a dog from the human world should possess!

The annoying voice rang out, and Xia Ye’s expression showed impatience as she furrowed her brows. Bru, who had been happily playing just a second ago, also started barking alertly.

The servant hurried over upon hearing the noise, but before he could get close, Jiang Jiujue sent him away.

He strode towards Xia Ye, casting an exceedingly majestic glance at Bru, which immediately silenced the dog’s barks. Bru then looked at Xia Ye with a whine, seemingly aggrieved, and its two big paws nervously paced back and forth.

Xia Ye patted its head to soothe it, while nonchalantly responding to the startled Jiang Jiujue, "It’s just... I fed it a little medicinal pill."

Although Jiang Jiujue had guessed it, he didn’t expect her to admit it so directly and brazenly.

Her nonchalant tone sounded almost like a challenge to Jiang Jiujue’s ears.

It frustrated him so much that his teeth itched. He slammed his walking stick on the ground with formidable energy, "Distributing Spiritual Energy Pills in the human world, how audaciously reckless!"

As he said this and turned to look for a pen and notebook to take notes on Xia Ye, he hadn’t found them when he heard Xia Ye casually say, "You ate them last time too, didn’t you? You even took four pills at once."

Xia Ye said it with distress, causing Jiang Jiujue to pause in his actions.

He almost forgot that, while unconscious, he had been coerced into becoming an accomplice!

During their conversation, another voice sounded from the other end of the courtyard.

Servant: "Madam, the little miss in your belly is growing really fast. The doctor arranged by Master Ke is so experienced. With his care, you will surely have a smooth pregnancy."

Liu Manyi’s voice was a bit breathless: "Yes, it’s only been two months, but my waist has already thickened. It’s just... I feel so tired..."

The nearby servant laughed: "Which pregnancy isn’t hard, Madam? Have you forgotten what it was like when you were pregnant with Young Master Yunzhou?"

Having the second child nineteen years after the first, Liu Manyi indeed couldn’t clearly remember some of the details from back then, but she always felt that her pregnancy with Yunzhou hadn’t been as noticeable.

Perhaps it was because she was older now, no match for her younger years...

She pressed her temples, "Right, what is Yunzhou up to in the kitchen? I haven’t seen him for half the day."

Servant: "It seems the young master has gotten his hands on some recipes for nourishing the fetus and is supervising their preparation in the back kitchen."

Liu Manyi laughed helplessly: "That naughty boy, let me go check on him..."

The old Jiang Family estate was vast, with a labyrinth of paths in the garden. Liu Manyi’s voice sounded not too far from Xia Ye, but with bushy shrubs separating them, Liu Manyi didn’t notice Xia Ye’s presence.

Following the voice, Xia Ye looked through the gaps of the bushy branches and saw the faint outline of Liu Manyi.

Perhaps it was the thick coat, but Xia Ye felt Liu Manyi seemed a bit rounder than before, taking steps with effort and breath not as steady as usual.

As Liu Manyi and the servant walked further away, Xia Ye made to follow.

After taking just two steps, Jiang Jiujue blocked her path with his walking stick, "What are you up to now?"

Xia Ye: "Nothing, just going to take her pulse."

"No need!" Jiang Jiujue looked at her skeptically, "What bad idea are you thinking up now? Don’t think I don’t know! The eldest daughter-in-law has experts to look after her, isn’t the equipment they use to check more accurate than you?"

Liu Manyi had gotten pregnant because of Xia Ye’s medicine, but now Xia Ye wasn’t even allowed to look at her.

Jiang Jiujue’s words seemed a bit like crossing the river and then tearing down the bridge.

Xia Ye had been battling with this stubborn old man for not just one or two hundred years, but remembering that she had indeed taken Liu Manyi’s money for the medicine, she thought it right to give a warning, "Although she is an older pregnant woman, she mustn’t be over-nourished..."

"That’s enough," Jiang Jiujue interrupted her abruptly before she could finish, "You don’t need to worry about her matters from now on. A weasel paying respects to a chicken, no good intentions!"

"..."

Xia Ye looked at him with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, the humor in her eyes turned cool, "You said it, don’t regret it later."

Jiang Jiujue snorted: "Regret? I could thank Heaven and Earth but not soon enough!" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

When Jiang Xuan came home and didn’t see Xia Ye, he was told by the servants that she had taken Bru to play in the courtyard, so he came looking for her.

And upon arrival, he found the two facing off against each other.

"What are you discussing?" Jiang Xuan walked over, stepping on the fallen leaves.

Never one to lose out, Xia Ye was the first to point her chin at Jiang Jiujue, "He’s calling me a weasel."

A weasel was nowhere near as pretty as a fox!

In the Fairy Realm, this was considered a very serious cross-species insult.

Jiang Jiujue was startled: "Let Heavenly Dao be my witness! She’s playing the victim first!"

But Jiang Xuan clearly didn’t want to ’bear witness,’ and looked at him expressionlessly, "Did you say that?"
