Chapter 262 : Ties (1)
In light of Xie Jianyu’s otherwise harmonious relationship with Zhang Fengxi, Head Servant Zhou could barely believe the words out of Qingyun’s mouth.
"Qingyun, could Mingyu possibly misunderstand something?" he asked in bewilderment after Qingyun ended her story. "I have heard tales about alphas feeding abortifacient to omegas, but not when said omegas are married to them officially. Why would His Highness Prince Zhang Fengxi want to kill his unborn heir?"
Not to mention that Lady Song’s enthusiasm about her long-awaited grandchild was practically over the top. Lady Song might just flip out if she ever heard the word "abortifacient".
"Qingyun, where is my darling son-in-law?"
Both Qingyun and Head Servant Zhou flinched from hearing Lady Song’s voice. The elder lady had both hands against her hips, her lips pursed out of impatience.
"Well? I thought that we agreed he should not leave Fuxi Palace at all."
"T-t-that..."
Head Servant Zhou and Qingyun blubbered like little children who were caught red-handed while stealing candies. Before the source of their distress was removed, another person came to cause further unrest.
"Little Yu is not in his bed chamber," Xie Jianshen remarked, squinting at the two betas in disapproval. "He is also not in the bathing area, the courtyard, or the bell tower."
Xie Jianshen addressed Head Servant Zhou directly. "Elder Zhou -- where is your master?"
The two omegas -- one male and one female -- exuded a menacing aura when they closed in on the two betas.
