The night in Kui Village is so quiet, the residents have a curfew to stop all activities and go to rest to spend time with family.
Xiu Qiaofeng leaned against the pillar of the bed, he smiled happily as he stroked and also invited the baby talking inside his stomach.
That girl, not—ralat because she is not a girl anymore. The young woman felt that she would never be lonely again since she was pregnant with her love.
Usually at night he will always rush to sleep early because he feels bored and lonely. Now, every night for a few months she took the time to tell her unborn baby a lot.
Suddenly the sound of gusts of wind and splashing footsteps sounded from outside. Xiu Qiaofeng looked hard to move because of his big belly, he was wary of staring at the door and window of his small house.
'Brack...' The door was wide open looking a girl dressed luxuriously like a noble. He brought some servants and guards.
Xiu Qiaofeng frowned dislikefully and said loudly, "I don't know what wind makes this group of wild monkeys come to my little house." His voice was firm and sharp poking full of ridicule. He does have a soft heart but it will not be easy to be bullied.
"Only a country girl like you, on what grounds insult me?! Especially dreaming of entering the imperial family!" The growling of the noble girl was full of irresistible arrogance. Slowly he stepped in carrying his subordinates who were now cluttering every corner of the house.
She was Ling Yihua, the Great Miss of the Northern Xia Empire's Minister of Finance. Obsessed with Xia Qian Che and using all means to bear the status of Wangfei.
The position of finance minister in government is so large and deeply rooted. His father could ask the emperor's order to let him enter the second prince's Wangfu. But Xia Qian Che also had the power to refuse. Makes it very frustrating.
Suddenly an epiphany he gained from the Crown Prince. An information regarding Xia Qian Che's secret lover outside the Imperial palace. Some incitement entered his mind, thinking that the Crown Prince was blessing because it had helped his way.
But he did not know that the Crown Prince was using it to make Xia Qian Che fall into a slump and conflict with the Minister of Finance.
Ling Yihua slowly approached Xiu Qiaofeng who was in silence hiding the unrest in his tightly clenched arms.
"Who sent you?" Xiu Qiaofeng asked flatly and gloomily. His breath was already hunting intensely full of anxiety.
Ling Yihua's hands stretched out to grip Xiu Qiaofeng's tiny chin. "You fucking bitch!" His shout was shrill with fury as he looked at Xiu Qiaofeng's heavily rounded stomach. His pointy nails stuck sharp on the back belonging to the pregnant woman.
"You fast tie this woman up!" His orders are crazy like demonic possession.
"Yes, Miss." Replied his subordinates in unison to Xiu Qiaofeng and dragged the pregnant woman without mercy.
Xiu Qiaofeng revolted with all his might. The occasional violent clash hit his body, with his fatigue trying to protect his stomach that had two lives inside.
This person was too much to fight and the homes of the neighbors were also located far away. Shouting for help is something she can do. But these people deftly stuffed his mouth.
Ling Yihua sat haughtily looking at Xiu Qiaofeng who was bound on the floor, then she said, "You don't know me, do you? Introduce me is Ling Yihua the first daughter of the Minister of Finance of Northern Xia. As well as the Second Prince's future wife, Xia Qian Che." His voice was carefree and full of joy as if he was sharing something happy.
Xiu Qiaofeng's body trembled looking at him with full of emotion of helplessness rage.
"Huh, this house is too small and you look lonely too." He said with a long sigh and then circulated the corner view of the house that had been destroyed, of course he pretended to be concerned.
"What if I help you get the baby out so I can accompany you?" Continue by tapping slowly on his chin as if he was thinking hard.
Xiu Qiaofeng growled loudly and tried to rebel, the pregnant woman already knew clearly Ling Yihua's evil intentions.
"I haven't decided yet but you've already revolted. Okay, let's just say you agree. You guys quickly help her give birth to a child!" He said with a happy sirat waving his hand ordering his subordinates.
'Bukk..Bukk...' Kicks and punches received the pregnant woman's body. They're too cruel!
Xiu Qiaofeng tried to protect his stomach with all his body. The tears had already flowed out of helplessness. But he can't give up.
One of the servants realized that Xiu Qiaofeng could always avoid being hit by a stomach blow. Deftly to please the master, he took the part— waiting for the right time and, 'Bukkk..' The loud pounding of his stomach caused Xiu Qiaofeng to slam far away screaming in pain in silence.
Blood flowed flooding both of his legs, his body turning blue in bruises. His body trembled violently groaning in pain, his eyes becoming blurred. His heart almost stopped because he felt fear of losing the tiny figure he had been waiting for.
With the last strength he had, he slowly crawled to the corner of the room, as soon as the fatigue dragged his enlarged body, the wounds all over his body again broke and spit out a lot of blood.
Ling Yihua did not pay attention to such a small movement because she was being enveloped in emotions of happiness when she saw Xiu Qiaofeng helplessly and pitifully crawling under her feet.
'Prangs...Woosch..' A thick green mist immediately enveloped the entire room. One by one people fell with dead bodies floundering. Xiu Qiaofeng tossed the bottle containing a deadly strange poison.
"You—! Uhukk....my father will avenge you—," The last shout that Ling Yihua had before she finally fell floundering with blood liquid came out from her eye, nose, and ears.
Xiu Qiaofeng looked at all of that with a sad face. Didn't expect the new poison he developed to be used today to kill many people.

Three Days Later
"Aunt Jin, you should hide. Take Zhiwen and Zhishu to a safe place. I believe you!" Said Xiu Qiaofeng with a firm and firm radiance in both eyes. The young lady tightly grasped Aunt Jin's wrinkled hand.
Xiu Qiaofeng gave birth by force to the drugs he drank because to save the baby who was critical in the womb.
It sounds cruel indeed, but she has to quickly get the baby out. She gave birth to a dragon and phoenix couple, her baby so tiny and vulnerable.
At this moment, Xiu Qiaofeng had only woken up from a coma but several people dressed in black and full of ruthless authority were looking for him. Deftly and restlessly she wrote a letter to Xia Qian Che that would be entrusted to Aunt Jin along with their baby.
"Go aunty, please take care of Zhiwen and Zhishu." His ink with both eyes flushed withered. He kissed the two tiny babies on the bed full of love and affection of a mother.
"Alright, you need to catch up quickly to take care of your own son." Reply Aunt Jin firmly but there is a hint of deep unrest and sadness in her tone.
Then carefully Aunt Jin aided by a confidant rushed to hold the two babies and walked out of the house to ride a simple horse carriage, the two little babies who blinked innocently left the figure of the mother who became their shield to block the danger from the dagger of the killers.
The sound of the horse-footed footprints and the sound of the carriages rang out slowly and further away, making Xiu Qiaofeng who was still inside the small house close his eyes and hold tightness in his chest.
