577 The Pregnancy Cannot Be Discovered

The crown prince was someone who took everything into account and would take precautions against all possible risks beforehand, which was how he had risen to his current position.

It was undoubtedly the most practical decision for the two Daoist nuns to stay in the crown prince’s residence.

The master of the Su family heaved a sigh. “I hope I’m just thinking too much.”

The second son comforted him. “What are you scared of, father? Can the two Daoist nuns captivate the crown prince? Everybody knows that the crown prince is committed to my sister.”

His father didn’t relax. Instead, he glared at his second son. “Aren’t you captivated yourself?”

The second son chuckled but didn’t deny it.

He really was interested in that Daoist nun master. Few people had ever dared to be so unbridled in the Su house.

And they were now all dead.

His father felt even more uneasy at his reaction. After they returned, the master of the Su family sent his trusted subordinates to look into the two Daoist nuns.

It was arranged for Gu Bailu and Qian’er to stay in the western courtyard of the crown prince’s residence. It was far from the main courtyard and even further away from where Lu Fenying stayed.

While the western courtyard was out of the way, it boasted a beautiful view of an evergreen grove behind it that was still lush in winter. There was even a hot spring inside the courtyard which they could soak in whenever they wanted.

The western courtyard came with a small kitchen, and Red Wolf arranged for a cook to specially prepare meals for Gu Bailu and Qian’er.

Two maids were also sent to serve them.

Of course, it was hard to say whether the maids were sent to serve them or monitor them.

Red Wolf told them the rules before he left: Gu Bailu and Qian’er were not to leave the western courtyard. They would stay here and make the pills, and someone would fetch the pills when they were ready.

Tch, putting us under house arrest.

Gu Bailu scoffed. As if they could detain her.

Qian’er washed her face as soon as they entered the house, but had yet to calm down.

Sitting down, Gu Bailu looked at her. “What are you afraid of? He has to beg you right now. You hold the life of the woman he loves the most in your hands, and you can meet him head-on. We may be under watch here, but we can still do anything we want.”

Qian’er looked at her foolishly. “Truly?”

“Of course. Sometimes you don’t know how much strength you have until you try. Try facing him head-on; you’ll find that he’s just a man with feelings and weaknesses that we can take advantage of.”

Qian’er shook her head. “No; except for when he acts a little more human when it comes to Su Muwei, he really is a demon when it comes to everything else.”

“Just remember: You control Su Muwei’s life and death, and he has to take any resistance you put up seriously. You were bullied so badly before only because you didn’t understand this.”

Her advantage turned into a disadvantage when she was threatened.

Qian’er was silent.

In fact, she understood everything that Gu Bailu was saying. However, she had always been in a lowly position in this residence growing up; she really couldn’t stop being afraid of her old master in such a short time.

But she would try to resist.

Lu Fenying had taken enough advantage of her. She wouldn’t let herself become a coward once again, since that would only be demeaning herself even more.

Besides, she wasn’t alone now. She couldn’t let her baby live as she had.

Qian’er touched her bulging belly. Both she and Gu Bailu were clearly pregnant. Thankfully, they were both slim, and their pregnancies could still be concealed with their loose robes.

But Qian’er was still afraid that Lu Fenying would discover the baby and take it from her.
