Her eyes twinkled ambiguously. Considering the recent events that had happened, she could tell that her husband was going to do something big very soon.

The Yuan family would very soon end up like the Lu Family.

In fact, the An and Jiang families could have been in this state too. However, Xie Limo decided to act on the Lu Family first and then the Yuan family. He had left the An and Jiang families for the last, so he could slowly torture them.

Yun Bixue rested her chin on her hand and thought. As she realized something, the corners of her lips raised up.

Her husband had started with the Lu Family to send a strong message to everyone else. That way, the impact would be stronger. If the Yuan family were to collapse shortly after, the other n.o.ble families would be frightened more easily.

As for An Yexuan, he already had a fake "Chu Fei'er," so they just needed to slowly toy with him. After all, ending things for An Yexuan swiftly was just letting him off the hook too easily.

After reading, Yun Bixue a.n.a.lyzed the situation now and thought that the capital would be in chaos for the next few days.

After settling everything, she yawned and laid down to scroll through her phone. As she scrolled, she slowly drifted into sleep.

When Xie Limo returned, he saw Yun Bixue lying on the bed with her phone in her hands. Her blanket was almost kicked off the bed.

He shook his head resignedly and quickly walked over. He removed the phone from her hand and covered her with the blanket.

How could he not tell what she had been trying to do? She was scrolling through her phone secretly while he wasn't there. She couldn't bear with her curiosity and wanted to find out about everything that was happening.

He had also chosen to turn a blind eye regarding this. He was fine with it, as long as she was happy.

The doctor had also said that it was beneficial for a pregnant lady to be in a good mood.

While she was resting in the hospital during this period, Yun Bixue's meals had been under strict monitoring. The servants had prepared every meal and delivered them to her. Xie Limo had also kept a close eye on her. Perhaps it was because of everyone's care and concern that she hadn't been vomiting so badly recently.

After a while, Xie Limo got on the bed and gently pulled Yun Bixue in his arms.

Yun Bixue snuggled into his embrace the way she always did. When she found a comfortable position, she continued to sleep.

Xie Limo looked at her and thought that she was just like a little kitten. His eyes lit up, and his heart grew even warmer for her. He kissed her cheek tenderly and wasn't satisfied with just a mere kiss. However, he didn't dare to go any further, unless he wanted to wake her up. He was also afraid that he would be unable to control his desires once he started.

…

At the Yuan family

When Yuan Shuangrui returned, she went to Old Lady Yuan immediately. Even though it was already late at night, she was still anxious to meet her.

However, the Old Lady's guards were strict. Without her instructions, Yuan Shuangrui wasn't allowed to enter.

Yuan Shuangrui tried to persuade the guards anxiously, but to no avail.

She could only retreat to her room in the meantime. Once she got back, she sat on the floor lifelessly and didn't have the strength to get back up.

She was in a daze and in a terrible mood.

Yuan Shuangrui began to think about what had happened all these years. She had always listened to her grandmother's words obediently, thinking that everything she said was right. However, what happened today had truly opened her eyes to the truth. She realized that killing Qin Huailing back then was a mistake. Spiking Han Mubai's food was also a mistake.

After committing those mistakes, there was no turning back for her.

Before, she held the utmost respect for Old Lady Yuan, but now, she was merely filled with anger towards her.

Majesty Kang thought that the matter regarding the smuggling of firearms had concluded and prepared for a good night's rest. Little did he know that after this matter got exposed, a series of unfortunate events would befall him.
