She Holds the World After Being Reborn-Chapter 384 - 383: Encircling the Radiant Church, Miss Yan Wu Applies to Join the Battle
Chapter 384: Chapter 383: Encircling the Radiant Church, Miss Yan Wu Applies to Join the Battle
"The so-called disobedience gets you one beating, further disobedience gets you two."
They would keep beating until obedience was achieved.
This was the ironclad logic that Yan Hongzhao had hammered out with this group of rough men.
Reasoning was futile; it was impossible to reason with these boorish men, so the only option was to keep using force.
"But, Xiaoliu, you mustn’t emulate Sister Five’s behavior. It’s not ladylike to be so rough," Yan Hongzhao didn’t forget to educate the child.
Yan Lingzhen, "... Okay, okay, Sister Five."
The Yan family members all talked about reasoning, but the moment words failed them, they would start brawling.
Including Mother as well.
Ah... an entire nest of hot tempers.
As the two sisters walked, they saw from a distance a man and a woman entering through a side gate.
The handsome man and beautiful woman snuggled together, creating a picturesque scene that even made the shabby side gate appear more pleasing to the eye.
Xiao Pingfeng was explaining to Yan Wanqing that in days to come she needed to control her temper and diet, maintain a good mood, for the well-being of both her and the baby, speaking until he was dry-mouthed. Yet, Yan Wanqing was stubborn, seizing every point he made and stubbornly debating it.
"But I want to eat stinky tofu right now; just tell me if you’ll buy it for me or not!" The scent of stinky tofu had just drifted from the alleyway, catching Yan Wanqing’s attention, craving it badly, yet Xiao Pingfeng refused to go buy it.
Out of frustration, she turned to walk back, but he, as if seized by madness, kept muttering about something huge, and if it wasn’t for his handsomely pleasing face, she really would have punched him a few times.
Unable to move forward because her sleeve was being pulled, and without any stinky tofu, the pregnant woman completely lost her temper.
"I just want to eat, want to eat, want to eat!"
Usually, she wouldn’t even glance at these snacks.
But since becoming pregnant, she inexplicably craved these things.
Xiao Pingfeng, seeing her eyes slightly pink, looking at him with a mix of stubbornness and grievance, felt his heart soften.
But recalling what Yan Xiaoliu had instructed, he felt aggrieved too: "Sweetie, eating these will upset your stomach. You were still complaining about stomach discomfort and feeling nauseous last night."
"Actually, it’s not that you can’t eat them, just eat a little less," overheard Yan Lingzhen, who was standing next to them by a corner, finally understood and whispered.
Yan Hongzhao stood beside her, eyes wide with surprise as she looked at Yan Wanqing’s stomach, then quickly her face lit up with joy.
The Sister actually reconciled with Crown Prince, and now she was pregnant again!
This truly was a delightful surprise.
Yan Wanqing also saw Yan Hongzhao, and her previously furrowed little face immediately brightened into a smile, hurrying forward in three steps: "Hongzhao! You’re back!"
"Big sister, be careful with yourself!" Watching her hurry, Yan Hongzhao quickly steadied her.
Yan Wanqing’s cheeks reddened: "I’m not that fragile."
Yet Yan Hongzhao still firmly held her arm, the painful scene from the last time at the hot springs vivid in her mind, she was determined not to let her sister undergo such an ordeal ever again.
Xiao Pingfeng took the opportunity while the sisters were catching up to go out and buy stinky tofu for his wife.
No choice, he had brought this upon himself; other than doting on her, there was nothing else he could do.
Either way, he would claim his happiness back later that night.
Lanterns were gradually lit in the courtyard, moths fluttered ceaselessly around them, creating soft tapping sounds.
The three sisters, rarely together, chatted animatedly.
Crown Prince returned having bought a portion of stinky tofu along with various other snacks, all favored by the girls.
He had his hands full when he returned with them.
Seeing the bright look in Yan Wanqing’s eyes as she smiled, Xiao Pingfeng’s lips also couldn’t help but curl up.
Yan Lingzhen observed this scene from the side.
Her heart warmed considerably.
At first, upon hearing the news that her sister was pregnant again, she really wanted to take a knife to this Crown Prince.
It had been less than three months since her sister’s miscarriage, and now she was pregnant again so quickly, which was a severe blow to a woman’s body. In modern society, she would need at least six months to a year of rest.
She had put a lot of effort into finding those herbs, until she found the Golden Red Feather. Heaven helps those who help themselves, and only then did she slowly nurse her sister’s depleted body back to health.
Now, seeing her sister glowing while with the Crown Prince, her anger dissipated as well.
And with that, she felt much better.
She might end up alone for life, living two lives, she now only wished for the well-being of those around her; as for love, Yan Lingzhen didn’t want to think about it at all.
After chatting for a while longer, Yan Wanqing yawned.
Pregnant women get sleepy very quickly. Xiao Pingfeng had been watching her closely; seeing the tiredness in her eyes, he stepped forward and embraced her: "Are you tired, should we go back to the room to rest?"
Yan Wanqing nodded.
Xiao Pingfeng did not escort her personally but called Cong Ge to help Yan Wanqing back, staying behind with his expression turning from gentle to serious.
"Let’s start discussing serious matters now."
Hongzhao sat up straight and nodded. freewebnσvel.cѳm
She was summoned by the Crown Prince himself.
It was to resolve the matter of the Radiant Church.
"This is a token that can command five thousand elite soldiers," Xiao Pingfeng handed the token to Yan Hongzhao: "Younger sister has been subduing bandits causing trouble in the area recently, with outstanding military achievements, and she has managed to train those bandits well. I am very relieved to entrust these five thousand elite soldiers to you. As you know, Wanwan has been struggling with the idea of rescuing Shen Shuyun, and I have been the one stopping her..."
"No need for further explanation, Crown Prince, Hongzhao knows well," she interrupted, "Rumors are that the Divine Church of Light grows like weeds in spring, always causing troubles in the area. If not eradicated, it is truly hard to feel at peace. My sister’s wish is my wish. This time, I am willing to go in her place and bring back Song Huaxu’s head!"
Yan Hongzhao gripping the token firmly, spoke each word clearly.
Listening nearby, Yan Lingzhen finally understood why her fifth sister suddenly appeared today; it was all her brother-in-law’s arrangement.
"So, um..." Yan Lingzhen raised her hand: "Reporting!"
"Not possible," Yan Hongzhao immediately refused.
Yan Lingzhen felt wronged; she glanced at Xiao Pingfeng, then looked at Yan Hongzhao: "You didn’t even let me say what it is, fifth sister, why..."
"You want to come with me, and I said no," Yan Hongzhao replied.
Yan Lingzhen: "Let’s negotiate."
"There’s no negotiation, it’s settled. In a day, early the morning after next, I will take the people to the Divine Church of Light to rescue Ms. Shen," Yan Hongzhao said flatly.
Xiao Pingfeng nodded: "Then, it’s going to be tough on you."
"It’s my duty," Yan Hongzhao bowed her head.
Outside.
The person who should have gone to sleep stood at the door, with Cong Ge standing beside her, looking troubled, not daring to make a sound.
Yan Wanqing listened to the discussion inside, a wicked smile hooking up at the corner of her lips.
Well then, they treated her as if she were a delicate flower in a greenhouse.
Who exactly is Song Huaxu, and how could her fifth sister outsmart him?
This time, Xiao Pingfeng’s concern had clouded his judgment.
The discussion inside had already ended.
Watching Xiao Pingfeng step through the doorway, she had no intention of leaving. With arms crossed, she waited like a hunter for prey, crashing into his pair of shocked dark eyes.
