Chapter 1291: Affection from the Side

had just entered the courtyard was unable to remain calm. She was seen being helped over, glaring fiercely at Feng Ming behind An Xue Tang, and pointing at him, she said, "It's you! You deliberately...After staring at ShuaiShuai for a while, Shou'er thought for a moment and still walked to his side.

Someone approached, and Shuangshuang immediately came to her senses. Her bewildered eyes turned to Shou'er, and she said in a voice that trembled slightly, "Shou'er sister, she... Sister Fu'er she... how could this be"

Originally, she had been frightened by Fu'er's actions. Shou'er let out a slight sigh and placed her hand on the little girl's shoulder, softly comforting her:

"These are grown-up matters, you don't need to worry about them. After the storm comes the rainbow, it will all pass. Everyone has been very busy these days and may not be able to take care of everything. Just take care of yourself and don't worry too much."

Shuangshuang pursed her lips, hesitated and glanced at Fu'er on the bed whose eyes were extremely malicious. In the end, she still nodded, "Hmm."

"It's getting late, you should go back to rest. There's a doctor here taking care of her, she'll be fine."

Shuangshuang's expression clearly still showed worry, but she also knew that staying here wouldn't really help.

So after Shou'er finished speaking, she obediently nodded her head, "Okay, Sister Shou'er, don't worry about me."

After Shou'er took her back to her room, she returned to Jingtang Garden.

After An Xuetang returned, she had someone prepare hot water. She took a hot bath and then lay back in bed.

It has to be admitted that pregnancy does make people very tired.

After putting in so much effort, she could clearly feel herself getting very tired.

But tired is tired, she wasn't sleepy though.

I kept thinking about what Fu'er said.

She saw how Fu'er had reacted just now, it was truly dangerous.

Fu'er seems to care so much about the baby in her womb, she wouldn't think Fu'er would use the baby as bait for something.

Lying in bed, An Xuetang still couldn't figure out what was wrong with Fu'er.

After a moment's hesitation, she still turned to look in Ning'er's direction and softly called out, "Ning'er Are you asleep"

"Not yet."

Ning'er heard the noise and immediately sat up. There was no way she could have slept through it.

The Queen may not understand Fu'er, but after all, she has lived with Fu'er for so many years. Sometimes, is Fu'er pretending or being sincere

Tonight, she saw it clearly. If not for the presence of their Princess tonight, Fu'er's child in her womb would have been lost already.

The more clearly she saw this, the more she cared about what Fu'er said.

What dangers will the guild leader face next

She didn't dare to think about it too deeply.

Hearing that even her own princess couldn't fall asleep, she immediately got up and walked to the bedside, somewhat worried, "Is there anything wrong with the princess's body"

When the Empress Dowager was giving Fu'er acupuncture, she stood closest to Her Majesty. So, she saw how much effort it took the Empress Dowager.

Right now, their Queen wasn't asleep. She naturally thought that perhaps their Queen was exhausted, which might be causing her discomfort.

An Xuetang saw Ning'er so nervous, her heart was very warm. She smiled and said, "I'm fine, don't be so nervous."

As she spoke, she also sat up and patted the bedside. "Sit down and talk,"

Ning'er hesitated for a moment. It wasn't proper for her to sit on her mistress's bed, but having followed their princess for so long, she also understood that their princess disliked being constrained by notions of rank and status.

So she hesitated for a moment and then, following the queen's lead, sat down.

"Would the princess like some hot water"

"No way." An Xuetang shook her head. "Ning'er, you guys have spent more time with Fu'er than anyone else, so you must understand her better than others. What do you think about what she said"

"Your Highness, I believe that what Fo'er said should not be entirely trusted nor entirely dismissed. Perhaps Your Highness should observe the valley master for the next few days. If she is telling the truth, there will certainly be something amiss."

"That's right."

She also thought like Ning'er, but on the other hand, she felt that if she directly listened to Fu'er's words, wouldn't her brother suffer some unnecessary pain.

But she couldn't bear to leave Fu'er behind, always feeling that letting Fu'er get close to him might put him in danger.

That's precisely why she finds herself in such a tangled mess.

I have no idea what to do.

After a moment of silence, An Xuetang didn't know what she was thinking about. She asked again, "Ning'er, is my brother very special to Fu'er"

She had always harbored a suspicion, whether her elder brother and Fu'er were in love with each other. And she suspected that her elder brother was unable to reciprocate Fu'er's feelings because of some constraints.

Therefore, Fu'er loved but couldn't have what she wanted and held a grudge against her, the culprit who caused all this.

Ning'er had always been intelligent, and upon hearing such a question from An Xue Tang, she immediately guessed what An Xue Tang was truly thinking.

She carefully weighed her words before explaining, "Fu'er was the first person to be taken in by the Valley Master, so compared to us, he put a lot of effort into her. And Fu'er was particularly clingy when she was little, and the Valley Master was very accommodating to her."

Such accommodation, she couldn't say for sure whether it was the so-called love.

But it is undeniable that, despite being their savior in name and their master.

Yet the master never treated them like slaves, but always regarded them as his own younger sisters, protecting and nurturing them.

So she wasn't sure if the guild leader had any other feelings for Fu’er besides familial affection, but there was definitely familial love.tinued unabated, his voice dripping with arrogance."You have to understand that at the time, our internal energy was being rapidly drained by our junior apprentice sister. If I wanted to kill you all...
