Qiao Yaozu retorted again, "But Xiaoru just said that she was pregnant."

Bai Xiaoru was stunned.

Just now, when the servant spoke it out, she thought she couldn't hide the secret, so she told the truth. But she didn't expect such a reversal.

Bai Xiaoru was not good at lying, so she was speechless.

Old Mrs. Qiao was seized by rage.

She had long thought that Bai Xiaoru was not a kind woman.

Although she was pregnant, she still wanted to seduce Yaozu.

Otherwise, how could Yaozu know that Bai Xiaoru lived in such a remote place? It must have been that bitch who had tried every means to make him come here and tell him that she was pregnant.

What did she want to do?

Did she want to use to baby to force Yaozu to marry her?

A hint of coldness flashed through Old Mrs. Qiao's eyes.

Unfortunately, it was just wishful thinking.

She would never let Bai Xiaoru succeed.

Of course, considering that Bai Xiaoru was pregnant, even if she was furious, she could only hold the anger back.

"Yaozu, you don't have to worry about that. Anyway, Bai Xiaoru needs to have a good rest in Qiao Palace. I have sent someone to take care of her. You don't have to be here." As she spoke, she came over and held Qiao Yaozu's hand.

She wanted to take him away.

However, he shook her hand off.

He said, "Then I'll stay here to take care of Xiaoru."

Old Mrs. Qiao said with a gloomy face, "Nonsense. It's enough to have a servant here. What can you do to take care of her? Come with me."

Qiao Yaozu didn't want to leave, but he was hesitant because he always listened to Old Mrs. Qiao. At this time, Bai Xiaoru said, "Mr. Qiao, you should go with Old Mrs. Qiao. I have someone to take care of me. You don't need to stay here."

After hesitating for a while, Qiao Yaozu left with his grandma.

As soon as he left, the baby in Bai Xiaoru's belly began to move more violently.

The little boy kept kicking her belly with his little hands and feet, which made the belly bulge.

However, Bai Xiaoru slowly closed her eyes, ignoring the change in her belly, and her lips and face lost their colors.

After Qiao Yaozu was dragged away by Old Mrs. Qiao, she scolded him and warned that he could never go to see Bai Xiaoru again.

Seeing that Old Mrs. Qiao was so angry, Qiao Yaozu lowered his head and said nothing.

Then she stopped lecturing him.

First, she felt sorry for her grandson. Second, she was afraid that if she made too much noise, Fang Liyuan would know it.

The fact that Bai Xiaoru had lived here had already made Fang Liyuan sad. If she learned that Qiao Yaozu had gone to see Bai Xiaoru, it would make her even more heartbroken.

Old Mrs. Qiao said to Qiao Yaozu, "Yaozu, I will forgive you this time. Don't ever go to see Bai Xiaoru again. I've told you that the best servant here will take care of Xiaoru. Besides, you have to think for your wife."

Qiao Yaozu was confused.

Why should he think for his wife when he went to Xiaoru?

But soon, he understood.

His wife didn't like Xiaoru.

His grandma meant that his wife didn't like Xiaoru, so he'd better not look for her.

Old Mrs. Qiao saw the confusion in Qiao Yaozu's eyes and let out a long sigh.

Why did she say that to her foolish grandson? After all, he could not understand.

She patted him on the shoulder and said, "Anyway, don't go visit Bai Xiaoru in the future. She has nothing to do with you. If you see her again, your wife and I will be unhappy. Just remember this."

"Okay." Qiao Yaozu was frustrated.

After Old Mrs. Qiao left, a woman walked out from a corner.

It was Liu Qingqing.

When she saw Qiao Yaozu, she pretended to be surprised and said, "Yaozu, why are you here? I've been looking for you. After I went out of the bathroom, I planned to continue playing the paper plane with you, but you disappeared."

Qiao Yaozu wasn't wary of anyone. Besides, he took Liu Qingqing as his friend, so he told all the things that had happened to Liu Qingqing. He spoke out of his innermost thoughts and feelings, "How I wish to go to see Xiaoru! But I don't know what to do. My grandma said that if I did so, she and my wife would be unhappy."

After a pause, he muttered in a low voice, "But I am worried about Xiaoru. She said that she was pregnant. I heard that pregnant women were easy to be tired. I want to take care of her and talk with her."

Liu Qingqing rolled her eyes.

In the beginning, she had planned to lure Qiao Yaozu to meet Bai Xiaoru and then bring Fang Liyuan here, but she didn't expect that Old Mrs. Qiao would come so soon and ruin her plan.

But it didn't matter.

If this plan couldn't work, then the next plan would be carried out.

After all, Qiao Yaozu was a fool.

"I didn't know that Xiaoru was in Qiao Palace," said she, pretending to be surprised.

"She's in that room," Qiao Yaozu pointed in a direction and said. "No one told me. If I hadn't seen Xiaoru, I wouldn't have known about it."

Liu Qingqing's face was still full of surprise. "Since she is there, you should often meet her, Yaozu. After all, you have a good relationship with her."

Qiao Yaozu felt a little sad. "But my grandma and wife don't like her. They don't want me to see her. In fact, I want to talk more with her. She is my good friend."

His words made Liu Qingqing sneer secretly.

She thought what he said was ridiculous.

"Yaozu, since Old Mrs. Qiao and Sister Liyuan don't want you to see Xiaoru, but you want to see her, why don't you there go secretly?" She pretended to be kind and offered advice to Qiao Yaozu.

"But the servant is taking care of Xiaoru. She will tell Old Mrs. Qiao if I do that," Qiao Yaozu whispered.

Liu Qingqing lowered her voice and said, "Servants will take care of Xiaoru in the daytime, but they will rest in the evening. Yaozu, if you go there in the evening, no one will know."

Qiao Yaozu was surprised to hear that.

That was a good plan!

He said happily, "Then I'll go to Xiaoru tonight."

Liu Qingqing continued, "Yaozu, no matter whether you go to look for her or not, you can't tell anyone that I gave this idea to you. If others know it, they will blame me. I came up with this idea just for your own good."

Qiao Yaozu said solemnly, "Qingqing. I swear I won't tell anyone."

Liu Qingqing smiled gently and added, "Yaozu, I have to go now. I wish you could see Xiaoru more."

After she left, Qiao Yaozu stood still.

He was thinking about when he would go to Xiaoru at night without being noticed. He was so attentive that he didn't even notice a figure appearing in front of him.

It was Qiao Shaoting.
