Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife

Chapter 787: Doubts

The room was still filled with a faintly damp atmosphere, Long Yue gazed at the wicked man across from her.

He had a sly smile at the corner of his mouth, his eyes sparkling with a teasing grin.

Yan Dan!

Previously at Beifeng Forest, he was the man who always spoke lightly to her, the one who was extremely greedy for her beauty.

"Miss Wei... oh no, should I say... Princess Consort Mu?"

He said, squinting his eyes.

Long Yue’s gaze instantly turned cold, had he actually recognized her?

Yes, it should be expected!

She’d felt something was quite off with this man back then; now it seems perhaps he saw who she truly was at that time?

Yet he remained silent, which meant he had ulterior motives.

Long Yue couldn’t be bothered to argue and simply sneered, "Young Master Yan, bringing me here, aren’t you afraid of His Majesty’s wrath?"

"Wrath?" Yan Dan stroked his chin with a wicked smile, "Firstly, I’m not the one who abducted you; secondly, he doesn’t even know where you’re being held, so even if the Emperor was boiling with rage, he wouldn’t know where to unleash it!"

He laughed proudly, confident that this place was extremely concealed.

Long Yue ignored him. Though she’d been captured, she wasn’t bound and could still move around; she got out of bed to take a look around.

She knocked on the walls as she went.

"Bang bang bang!"

The walls sounded hollow; was there another room next to it?

Long Yue frowned slightly, deep in thought.

Yan Dan just stood there, arms crossed, watching Long Yue walk back and forth in the room, without stopping her.

He wasn’t worried about her escaping.

A pregnant woman, and one about to give birth, where could she run off to?

So he was quite reassured.

"This place is quite awful, you’re really going to make me stay here?"

Suddenly, Long Yue turned around and asked him.

Yan Dan pinched his nose and said, "This place is relatively safe, keeping you here saves us all worry."

Us?

Long Yue caught a tiny piece of useful information.

This indicated there was more than just him; who else might there be?

Was it those people who were with him last time?

The thought flashed by quickly, and Long Yue spoke again, "I’m about to give birth soon; will you really keep me here? Without even finding a midwife, are you trying to cause us both harm?"

"Huh? How could that be? Princess Consort Mu, it’s not your first time giving birth, you should have some experience!"

He chuckled, his eyes flickering with a mischievous light.

Long Yue said nothing, but just looked at him coldly.

"Hey hey, don’t look at me like that! Being stared at by a beautiful woman, I can’t handle it, let alone such a charming beauty? Tsk tsk, even while pregnant, your charms don’t fade!"

Long Yue knew it wasn’t possible to leave here, just sat down and said, "Even if I can’t change places, at least tidy up a bit, this place is filthy!"

"I don’t do tidying, okay?"

"Are you the only one here?"

Long Yue seized another information point.

The other party was smart and promptly said nothing more.

"Anyway, don’t even think about leaving, just peacefully stay here for childbirth!"

The other party concluded the conversation and didn’t pay Long Yue any more attention, leaving the place.

Long Yue sat quietly on the bed, pondering the next steps.

She didn’t know if Li Qingmu could find her, but one must save oneself rather than always relying on others to rescue her.

She was unfamiliar with this place and didn’t know if there were guards outside, nor about Yan Dan’s martial arts skills?

She couldn’t tell.

She wasn’t alone now; there was a little one inside her, she couldn’t recklessly charge forward like before.

She carefully deliberated and believed it would be best to deliver the child first before considering her options.

It was hard to tell how much time had passed, Long Yue was about to doze off when suddenly the door opened again and Yan Dan came back in.

"Why have you come back?"

Long Yue, though confined, did not look at all like a prisoner. Instead, she sat on the bed, calmly and naturally looking at Yan Dan.

Yan Dan sat across from her, resting his chin in hand as he looked at her: "Tsk tsk, Princess Consort Mu lives up to the title, even in captivity she shows no fear. Admirable, admirable!"

Long Yue pursed her lips and smiled faintly, "Admirable for what? Right now under your guard, whether happy or unhappy I must pass the day, why not make myself happier? If I plead with you, will you let me go?"

"Haha, naturally not, but the Princess Consort’s demeanor is indeed deserving of respect!"

Yan Dan said, even bowing respectfully to Long Yue.

Haha, what a hypocritical man!

Long Yue lazily stretched and lay on the bed, "Young Master Yan, considering the acquaintanceship between us, could you prepare a soft blanket for me? Give me a few towels, oh and a small red clay stove to boil water would be perfect."

Yan Dan felt a headache, what kind of outrageous requests were these?

"If you’re going into labor, a midwife will be found for you!"

Yan Dan felt a bit overwhelmed by Long Yue’s nagging and casually replied.

Long Yue was delighted to hear this and immediately said, "Really? Thank you, Young Master Yan!"

Yan Dan’s mouth twitched fiercely, he didn’t know why he’d agreed to her on impulse. Initially, he intended to refuse again, but thinking Long Yue was truly about to give birth, mistreating a pregnant woman seemed unkind?

So, he didn’t say anything further.

Long Yue chuckled softly; she could see that Yan Dan, although frivolous and careless about life, was at least not entirely heartless, there was still a bit of conscience in him.

"Yan Dan!"

A woman’s voice suddenly came from outside, Yan Dan glanced at Long Yue and then left.

Long Yue quickly went to the door, trying to hear what they were saying outside.

"How is that woman? Did you do anything to her?"

"No, just keeping watch so she doesn’t do anything reckless, why? Don’t you trust me?"

"Humph, trusting you is as good as believing in ghosts, you’re nothing but a lecher, be careful not to be seduced by her beauty, ruining our master’s plans!"

"Oh, don’t worry, nothing’s ruined!"

"Humph!"

This was the last exchange between Yan Dan and the woman, ending with the woman’s snort.

Long Yue pursed her lips, who was their "master"? Was it that You Su? It seemed their guesses were correct; You Su was plotting a great scheme, intending to become Emperor?

However, according to the Tianxing Pavilion’s explanation, ordinary Emperors would have to bow and kneel before them, so You Su’s long preparation couldn’t be just for the throne?

He must have another reason, but what exactly that reason was remained unknown.

Aside from this, Long Yue felt rather dejected because there was another woman outside, indicating her escape attempt was now impossible.

If only Yan Dan was here, she could try some ways to escape, but with an additional woman...

And, this woman’s voice seemed quite familiar?

She thought hard, yes, it was that woman, the one who had hold of the you’er at Beifeng Forest.

"These people are indeed from Tianxing Pavilion but betrayed it. Back then at Beifeng Forest, deliberately revealing the ink jade to me was to prevent Li Qingmu from being truly killed, what are they trying to achieve?"

A series of questions swirled around in Long Yue’s mind.
