After Qin Ming carried Anya over, he carefully placed her on the sofa before standing up and saying, “She has morning sickness.”
Chu Luo smiled faintly at Anya, who had been showing off to her a few days ago.
The moment Anya met Chu Luo’s gaze, her face fell as she complained to her, “Chu, help… I’m going to be tortured to death by this detestable baby.”
Chu Luo raised her hand to touch her wrist and said, “You won’t die. This is normal morning sickness.”
“But I didn’t feel anything previously.”
“Every pregnant woman experiences morning sickness at different times.”
When Anya heard this, she felt like she had nothing to live for.
Qin Ming asked her with a straight face, “Do you want me to send you back to our villa to rest?”
Along the way, although Qin Ming hadn’t spoken much, he had been taking care of her meticulously. Anya only glared at him angrily. “No. Chu and I haven’t seen each other for a long time. We need to have a girl’s talk.”
Qin Ming looked at Chu Luo.
Chu Luo assured him, “I’ll take good care of her.”
Qin Ming turned around and left.
Chu Luo asked the butler to get some sour fruits.
Anya felt much better after eating it. She pulled Chu Luo and asked expectantly, “Chu, can you develop some medicine to suppress morning sickness for me?”
“Yes.” Chu Luo nodded. “That’s not difficult.”
Anya heaved a sigh of relief.
She leaned back in her chair and said with a bitter expression. “I’ve been suffering from morning sickness since the night of my wedding.”
“It’s all because you were too tired and excited.” Chu Luo was very certain.
Anya smiled sweetly. “It’s my wedding. Of course I was excited. I was going to hold a party to celebrate that night, but this naughty baby ruined all my plans.”
Chu Luo knew that Americans liked to hold parties when they got married, so she didn’t say anything.
Anya held her face in her hands and said, “From the moment I vomited, I sensed how much Blockhead cared about us. You have no idea. When I was feeling terrible, I finally saw anxiety and helplessness on his expressionless face.”
Chu Luo couldn’t imagine the helplessness on Qin Ming’s face.
However, she still asked, “Since your morning sickness makes you feel so awful, could you stand traveling on a plane?”
“Icouldn’t stand it. Luckily, my father sent us a private plane. Otherwise, I would definitely have felt even worse.”
Chu Luo looked at her sympathetically.
Anya felt much better after eating the sour fruit just now, so she put the plate aside and ate one after another.
Chu Luo reminded her, “Although the sour fruit can suppress morning sickness, you can’t eat too much. Be careful that your teeth can’t stand it.”
“Got it,” In spite of that, Anya didn’t stop eating.
Chu Luo asked the butler to bring over a pen and a notebook. She quickly wrote down some herbs’ names and tore off a page to hand to the butler.
“Get someone to go to Imperial Sky Park and ask Grandpa Hu for these herbs. Tell him that they’re for pregnant women. If he has time, it’s better if he can help me brew the herbs.”
“Okay, Miss Chu.” The butler took it and left.
Anya regained her strength and sat up to tell Chu Luo about their wedding day.
“Chu, you have no idea. Blockhead was so handsome on our wedding day.”
She even took out her phone to show Chu Luo the video she had asked someone to record.
Chu Luo glanced at it. After dressing up, Qin Ming was indeed very handsome, exuding tough guy vibes.
Anya said, “When the priest asked his family and friends if anyone objected to our marriage, I don’t know what Adair thought. He actually ran out to take me away. You have no idea at that time, but Blockhead actually picked me up and ran away.”
Chu Luo was a little surprised that Qin Ming, who usually didn’t show his emotions, would do such a thing in front of so many people.
“As the princess of America, everyone in the upper-class society of America attended your wedding, right?”
“Yes, that’s why Blockhead was so manly that day.”
Chu Luo looked at the smitten Anya and asked, “What happened after Qin Ming took you away?”
“Nothing happened? Later on, I heard from my mother that Adair was taken away by his family. My father even specially said to everyone that this was just a young man’s prank. As a father, he gave us his greatest blessings.”
Since the king was on Qin Ming’s side, Chu Luo was relieved.
Anya continued, “To our surprise, Li actually announced via video to everyone at our wedding that the US agent rights of the Blazing Glory gaming capsule were given to our royal family.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she thought for a while. ‘Did Yan get up to send a video in the middle of the night”
She suspected that the video had been recorded in advance and sent over by a subordinate when the time came.
The two of them chatted for more than an hour. Anya couldn’t hold on anymore and returned to Qin Ming’s villa to rest.
Chu Luo walked alone in the garden.
The entire Li residence looked festive with all the wedding decorations.
The entire front yard, which was to be used to receive guests, had undergone a massive transformation this month.
In particular, there was a huge house built on the venue of their wedding.
That house occupied more than ten acres.
The appearance of the house was actually the same as the Priest Hall in the Kingdom of Phoenix Skies.
The priest hall of the Kingdom of Phoenix Skies was solemn. Here, not only was it solemn, but it was also gorgeous and festive.
Chu Luo looked outside for a while and walked towards the door. However, not long after she left, she saw a middle-aged woman standing on the other side and looking at the fresh flowers outside.
‘There was a servant standing beside the middle-aged woman.
Chu Luo wondered if she should go over and greet her. After all, this was Li Yan’s third aunt.
She had just taken a few steps over when she heard the servant suddenly say to Third Madam, “Third Madam, I heard that just this house alone costs nearly two billion yuan. There are even more decorative flowers inside. The entire wedding venue might add up to seven or eight billion yuan.”
The servant obviously hated the rich, and her tone was a little sharp. “This kind of good-looking but impractical building will definitely be removed after the wedding.”
Third Madam’s expression was calm as she listened to the servant. After the servant finished speaking, she didn’t react and just turned to leave.
The servant didn’t give up. As she walked, she continued, “Third Madam, I heard that Young Master has already hired an elder to host the wedding… To think he didn’t even invite you, his real elder.”
Third Madam still didn’t say anything. The two of them walked away one after another.
Chu Luo stood there and looked at their backs. An idea suddenly popped into her mind. She flicked her finger and a trace of red light shot into the servant’s brain.
Only then did she walk into the building.
It was spacious inside. There weren’t many load-bearing pillars, and it looked especially big and spacious. There were already many dining tables piled around. When the time came, there would be more than a thousand banquet tables inside.
In the middle was a wedding platform in the shape of a T with fresh flowers surrounding it. Their wedding photos would be broadcast on the wall in the middle.
Chu Luo stood inside and watched for a while before going out.
However, just as she went out, she met the servant who had been with Third Madam previously.
The servant’s face was pale, as if she had just suffered a huge fright. She was running anxiously towards the front yard.
Chu Luo strode over and stopped her. “What are you doing?”
‘When the servant saw that it was Chu Luo, she quickly said to her, “Miss Chu, it’s great to see you. Third Madam suddenly fainted just now.”
“Since she fainted, why didn’t you call the doctor immediately?”
“Third Madam… Third Madam…” The servant looked like she didn’t dare to speak and her body was trembling.
Chu Luo looked at her and shouted in a low voice, “Speak!”
The servant’s body trembled and she quickly said, “When Third Madam fainted, a few worms ran out of her body. They’re so… so scary.”
Chu Luo’s expression instantly became stern. “What kind of worm crawled out of her body?”
“Like a caterpillar without fur.”
Chu Luo pulled a long face. “Take me there to take a look.”
“But… but…”
The servant looked like she didn’t believe Chu Luo could deal with that kind of worm at all.
Chu Luo’s expression turned even colder.
The servant’s body trembled again and she quickly led her towards Third Madam’s courtyard.
The two of them walked for half an hour before arriving outside Third Madam’s courtyard.
The servant said to Chu Luo, “Miss Chu, Madam fainted as soon as she entered the courtyard.”
After saying that, she pushed open the courtyard door.
Chu Luo looked inside and didn’t discover anyone.
He turned to ask her, “You’re not the only servant serving Third Madam. Where are the others?”
“Because you and Young Master are getting married soon, the others have been transferred over to help.”
“Is that so?”
Chu Luo walked in.
The servant followed and closed the door and locked it.
Chu Luo turned around and looked at the servant whose expression had changed and was no longer respectful to her. The corners of her lips curled up and she asked, “How many lives do you think you and the people inside can have to pay for framing the Li family’s mistress?”
“Pfft!” The servant sneered. “Mistress? After today, you won’t be the mistress of this residence anymore.”
“I won’t be? Then who will be?”
“Don’t worry about who it is. It’s not you in any case.”
Chu Luo nodded and asked, “Who gave you the courage to trick me here in the Li residence?”
The servant looked at her disdainfully. “Who asked you to be so stupid?”
“Stupid?”
The smile on Chu Luo’s face widened a little. The servant actually felt a chill down her spine.
Chu Luo walked towards the servant.
The servant subconsciously retreated two steps. Thinking that Chu Luo had been tricked by her to come here, she decided she had nothing to be afraid of. She instantly puffed up her chest and glared at her confidently.
“We’ve already blocked all the surveillance cameras nearby. As long as we can capture your scandal and ruin your face, we’ll see if Young Master will still marry you.”
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Chu Luo clapped her hands and said, “What a vicious idea.”
After saying that, she lowered her hands and asked, “Since you want to do this to me, why are the others still hiding behind my back? Come out, all of you.”
As soon as Chu Luo finished speaking, a few people came out.
Chu Luo glanced at them and asked, “Are you people hired by Third Madam or by her maiden family? Let me think… Third Madam’s maiden family seems to be a prominent family because of Third Madam’s support. It’s a considerably large clan. Qing Ning and her brother probably don’t have the ability to
come to the Li residence now… Who’s here now?”
“Hmph! Who cares who it is? I’l let you have a taste of the pain our Miss Qing Ning experienced back then.”
After saying that, those people surrounded Chu Luo.
Chu Luo’s body shook and she sealed all their acupoints in an instant.
Only the frightened servant was left with her eyes wide open.
Chu Luo walked towards her again. “Where is Third Madam? Was she the one who instructed these things?”
“No… no.” The servant didn’t expect Chu Luo to be so powerful. She was so frightened that she couldn’t speak properly.
“Hmph.”
Chu Luo took out her phone and pressed a button. She said to the other party, “Search.”
Before the servant could react, Chu Luo quickly retreated. The door was knocked open with gravity.
Then, a large group of bodyguards rushed in and knocked the servant to the ground.
“Ah… Ouch…”
Seeing a few bodyguards deliberately step over the servant, Chu Luo stood at the side with her arms crossed and watched without sympathy.
The bodyguards quickly found the people from Third Madam’s maiden family. It was a man about the same age as Qing Ning.
‘When the man was caught, he was still in disbelief.
The moment he was caught, he first scanned everyone and realized that besides Chu Luo, Li Yan and his third aunt weren’t around. He immediately calmed down. He looked at Chu Luo and asked with a dark expression, “As the Li family’s future mistress, is this how you treat guests?”
Chu Luo glanced at him and asked one of the bodyguards, “Have you found Third Madam?”
The bodyguard moved the communicator on his ear and said to her respectfully, “Madam, Third Madam will be here soon.”
Not a minute after the bodyguard finished speaking, she heard footsteps outside the door.
Then, the butler and Third Madam walked in.
The moment the butler walked in, he walked to Chu Luo’s side and stood there.
Third Madam glanced at everyone in the house and finally placed her gaze on Chu Luo. She asked, “I wonder how my nephew offended Miss Chu?”
“Aunt, you came back at the right time. She didn’t distinguish between right and wrong and got a group of bodyguards to enter your house and conduct a search while you weren’t around.”
Third Madam looked at Chu Luo with her steady eyes.
Chu Luo smiled at her and deliberately asked in a puzzled tone, “Wasnt it said that you fainted after being poisoned by Gu? Your servant brought me here anxiously, but you were actually perfectly fine and strolling outside.”
Anger finally appeared in Third Madam’s calm eyes.
Without needing Chu Luo to say anything, she turned to the servant who had been pulled up.
The servant’s face turned pale.
She knelt down with a bang and kowtowed heavily to Third Madam. “Third Madam, it’s my fault alone. I just wanted to fight for Miss Qing Ning’s justice, that’s why I tricked her into coming here. This matter has nothing to do with Young Master Qing Zhi.”
Third Madam retracted her gaze from the servant and said to Chu Luo coldly, “Take this person away. You can do whatever you want with her.”
These words made the servant’s body tremble uncontrollably, but she didn’t defend herself.
Chu Luo looked at Third Madam with displeasure in her eyes. “Who said that only she participated? Look, those people standing there aren’t moving either. They’re from your house, right?”
“No.”
“Since he’s not, why is he in your house?”
After Chu Luo asked this, she suddenly asked the butler, “Butler, have you gotten someone to transfer all the servants in Third Madam’s house to help over the past few days?”
“No.”
The expressions of Third Madam and Qing Zhi changed at the same time.
Third Madam looked into Chu Luo’s eyes. “I want to see Li Yan..”
