Jian Qinwan also secretly noticed Liang Xiao's change. A thought struck her, and she looked at Luo Qingxue with a look of innocence, "Good sister, you can't slander a good person, can you? Say it again~"
"It's all the truth, how can it be slander! Haven't you seen General Lü? Especially before the wedding, when I met him, the look in his eyes, as if he wanted to cry and break down. I'm starting to suspect, is it because he's going to marry us into the family that General Lü is heartbroken~"
Luo Qingxue thought Liang Xiao was asleep, so she lowered her voice, becoming more smug as she spoke.
Xiao Qing and Jian Qinwan looked at Luo Qingxue, suppressing their laughter.
He wasn't sleepy at all now, he could probably hear everything...
"Let me tell you more about how mischievous he was as a child. When he visited my house, he caught a big spider and put it in my book. I was so scared that I chased him with a rattan whip all over Luo Mansion~"
"Even younger, maybe four or five years old, I remember this most clearly. Others stood downstream to drink water, but he, he actually urinated upstream and grinned at me, saying: 'Sister Qingxue, did you see? Your Liang Xiao brother is peeing so high~ Yuck~ Yeah~ Look, that uncle is drinking my virgin urine~'..."
Luo Qingxue imitated Liang Xiao's childish tone at the end. The courtyard echoed with the girls' cheerful laughter, and even Christia couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.
"And, look how beautiful Yue Lian is, he never took advantage of Yue Lian since he was young. As an adult, he's been flirting with General Lü, Hero Chen, Hero Yu, and the others. Tsk tsk tsk, it's hard not to be suspicious..."
Luo Qingxue was murmuring, feeling quite pleased with herself, when she suddenly noticed the girls' expressions change drastically. They ran to a distance, huddled together, looking terrified.
"Huh? What are you doing? Seen a ghost?"
Luo Qingxue looked confused and suddenly realized the atmosphere was a bit strange. She frowned, looked back, and her heart jumped into her throat.
"When, when did you wake up?" Luo Qingxue quickly put on a concerned expression.
"Wife, what were you just saying about me?" Liang Xiao pouted.
Luo Qingxue stammered, "I, I was praising you!"
Liang Xiao's expression changed. He scooped Luo Qingxue up, ignoring her struggles, and walked straight towards her bridal chamber.
"I was wrong! Husband, wife was wrong!!"
"Sisters, save me!!"
Luo Qingxue, her face flushed, begged for help from the crowd, only to be met with faces stifling laughter.
Only after the door closed did Xiao Qing and the brides continue their conversation.
As for Luo Qingxue, she was truly "deep in sin" and "got what she deserved," beyond any divine help; anyone who tried to save her would "suffer disaster."
Sitting on the bridal bed, Luo Qingxue lowered her head, not daring to make a sound.
It wasn't until after they drank the cross-cupped wine that Luo Qingxue mustered up the courage, her face full of grievance, "What's wrong? You were fine just now, why are you suddenly fierce with me? You carried me in, didn't even do the rice-grasping ceremony, I'm so innocent..."
"Your memory is quite good for a child, you can even remember your husband's embarrassing moment of peeing upstream." Liang Xiao praised.
Luo Qingxue was speechless, and her face turned crimson in an instant.
Wasn't he lying on a chair far away? How could he have heard...
Even when Liang Xiao lifted her chin, she hadn't figured it out. Resigned, she followed Liang Xiao to pull down the red curtain...
The next day, Luo Qingxue was also huddled in the quilt, looking resentfully at Liang Xiao, who was already up.
She now understood why Princess Ningshuang had wanted to die when the sisters asked her questions.
When Liang Xiao brought a pair of scissors and cut off the bloodstained part of the bedsheet, Luo Qingxue, her face flushed, playfully chided, "What, what are you doing..."
"I'll preserve it for you as a souvenir," Liang Xiao smiled.
Luo Qingxue quickly hid under the quilt, "You really are a scoundrel, you've been bad since you were little, it hurt so much... But you still have some conscience, you knew to care for me this morning!"
Liang Xiao finally blushed, sat on the edge of the bed, his mood somber.
Ever since that night when he inexplicably absorbed that mass of liquid, he hadn't slept.
After storing the "red cloth" in a treasure box, Liang Xiao sat by the bed and said softly, "Wife, Frost told me back then. Before I went to Tianshan for medical treatment, she asked you what you would do if I died young. You said that in that case, you would wait for a few months, and if you found out you were pregnant with my child, you would follow me. If you were pregnant with my child, you would raise the child to adulthood and never remarry."
The quilt suddenly trembled, and Luo Qingxue said softly, "You won't die, you'll live to be a hundred years old!"
Liang Xiao just smiled.
Now he was worried that he might die young due to sleep problems, leaving these wives widowed.
Liang Xiao had never feared death, but now he knew that he absolutely could not die.
If he died, Jian Qinwan and the others would surely commit suicide, become widows, or pine away to death. Xiao Qing would lose her support, the noble families would eventually stage a comeback, the Great Gan would lose the Heavenly General and the Marquis of Anguo, and would no longer have the Martial God to protect it. If wars broke out simultaneously on the borders...
"At least I should wait until the world is at peace before dying," Liang Xiao murmured.
"You are not allowed to think such nonsense! Do not say such inauspicious words on your wedding night! You have good karma, you will surely live to be a hundred years old!"
Crying came from the quilt, and then Luo Qingxue sat up and hugged Liang Xiao tightly.
Liang Xiao quickly comforted Luo Qingxue, filled with self-reproach.
Upon learning that Luo Qingxue and Liang Xiao had consummated their marriage last night, Luo Changfeng was overjoyed, bringing out a pile of red envelopes and distributing them to everyone who came to congratulate them.
In the afternoon, Christia sat in her bridal chamber, her heart uneasy.
Jian Qinwan and Luo Qingxue had already consummated their marriage with Liang Xiao one after another, leaving only her, Yue Lian, and Zhuo Xun...
Liang Xiao had also said that he couldn't bear to disturb Zhuo Xun now, so in her opinion, only she and Yue Lian were left...
But Liang Xiao still hadn't given her an answer.
Just then, the door slowly opened. Christia bit her lower lip, her eyelashes trembling.
It was Liang Xiao entering!
Seeing Christia's panicked expression, Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment, then walked over and took Christia's hand.
"Are, are you going to bully me..." Christia's voice trembled.
Liang Xiao shook his head and sighed, "In a few days, I must take you to see a woman, so, you come with me first."
Christia's breathing became shallow. She let Liang Xiao lead her by the hand out of the courtyard.
Xiao Qing, Luo Qingxue, Old Master Liang Qing, and Luo Changfeng were already waiting there. Jian Qinwan and Yue Lian held Zhuo Xun's hands, coaxing her.
Seeing everyone follow Liang Xiao into his room, Zhuo Xun asked curiously, "What are they doing..."
"Shhh~ If you don't want to be eaten by the big demon first, you're not allowed to ask~" Jian Qinwan whispered.
Zhuo Xun's cheeks flushed slightly, and she nodded obediently.
Jian Qinwan and Yue Lian were finally relieved.
Zhuo Xun was ignorant of the world and too lively and talkative, prone to slip-ups.
After discussion, they decided to keep it from her for a while longer. After all, whether her "big demon" was the Heavenly General or not, it wasn't important to her.
The iron chest had been personally transported from the Western Palace Villa by Ding Wuyi and was temporarily kept in Liang Xiao's room today.
Everyone looked at the iron chest and was about to ask, when their gazes fell upon the Sky Dragon Breaking City Halberd, standing silently in the corner. Their expressions changed!
