Chapter 372: Knock

“Miss, Ouyang Tian doesn’t look too good. The elders have already entered the study room to discuss the replacement. The representatives of the three branches have all entered.”

“Representatives of the three branches?”

Shen Xiaoxiao thought about it and understood. This was calculated according to their mothers.

“Pei Li has entered as well?”

“Yes. Although Ouyang Jinming has been crossed out, Pei Li is the representative. I heard that this was an order personally given by the Old Master.”

Shen Xiaoxiao was deep in thought. It seemed that the possibility of Pei Li was quite high, especially since that d*mn Du Ze had just signed a contract with Pei Li and would be entering overseas with Dongyou Country. This was another advantage for him to compete for the position.

“Got it. You can leave first. I reckon that even if they want to produce results, it will be tomorrow. I will go out tonight.”

“I understand.”

Shen Xiaoxiao touched her stomach. Six months was equivalent to eight or nine months of age. However, she was already younger than Liu Yufei, so it did not seem like there would be any problems.

Furthermore, Pei Li would definitely tell everyone that the child in her stomach was his and not Yan Kuan’s. This was an excuse that he had thought of long ago to shut everyone up.

Hence, Liu Yufei was brought over by Pei Li personally.

Knock, knock, knock!

“Little Sister, are you asleep?”

Shen Xiaoxiao looked at her clothes. Luckily, she had not changed yet. Why did Ouyang Le come over at this time? She called her so intimately? Little Sister? It seemed that she and Liu Yufei got along very well!

“Big Sister, why are you here at this time?”

Shen Xiaoxiao knew some of Liu Yufei’s words and actions, so she was naturally acting to the end.

However, her friendly smile did not make Ouyang Le feel friendly. In the past, she thought that Shen Xiaoxiao was particularly pleasing to her, but why did she feel a little uncomfortable seeing her today? Especially that big belly. No matter how she looked at it, it was dazzling. What was wrong with her?

Of course, Ouyang Le did not know that the Gu worms on her and Liu Yufei’s bodies were split from the same worm. As long as she got close to it, she would feel a sense of intimacy. However, this was the real Shen Xiaoxiao and not Liu Yufei. Of course, she would not feel that kind of intimacy anymore.

Fortunately, it was night now. Before Shen Xiaoxiao came, she could still put on makeup. This makeup looked exactly the same as Liu Yufei’s.

“Sister, I just came to see you. In the end, I will only come out tomorrow. Don’t go anywhere at night. The women will be guarding the courtyard in batches while the men are not allowed to leave. Ah Li can’t come to see you. He asked me to tell you so that you wouldn’t have to wait for him.”

After saying this, Ouyang Le felt a faint jealousy and envy. She didn’t even want to stay here for a moment.

After thinking for a while, she still felt a little uncomfortable and said to Shen Xiaoxiao, “Sister, the Ouyang family is not the outside world. You have to be careful with your words and actions. It’s just that you think that you have entered our family. You have to understand the rules that you should know. You have to abide by your duty, understand?”

“Sister, I understand.”

“It’s good that you understand. I’ll be leaving first. Sister’s fate is better. As long as you take good care of yourself, you can live a good life with your husband’s doting. I still have to take care of these things. Sister, you have to cherish your blessings.”

“Sister, you’ve worked hard. Sister is after all a young lady from a noble family. I definitely can’t compare to you. Those who are capable will have to work harder. In the future, I’ll still have to rely on Sister to support me when you’re by Brother Li’s side.”

Shen Xiaoxiao heard Ouyang Le’s words clearly. Thinking about it, she felt that it was funny. The meaning behind Ouyang Le’s words was that she was just a concubine, a vassal. She was a useless woman and she had to recognize her position clearly.

However, she knew how to put on an act. It was just that the way she called her ‘sister’ made her want to vomit.

Ouyang Le saw that Shen Xiaoxiao was so good at acting. She did not react at all to her sarcastic words. She turned around and left in satisfaction.

Seeing that Ouyang Le had left, Shen Xiaoxiao opened the door and walked out.

Where was Shen Xiaoxiao going at this moment? The Forbidden Area? No, she was going to the main courtyard.

To be precise, it was the artificial lake behind the main courtyard.

One day and one night, according to Dark 1 and the others’ understanding of the Ouyang family’s underground tunnel, as well as all the crisscrossing blueprints, the only place that was likely to lead to the Forbidden Area was this artificial lake. In addition, this artificial lake was close to the main courtyard. Shen Xiaoxiao was even more certain that Yan Kuan’s location was most likely at the bottom of the lake.

She just didn’t know if she would be lucky enough to bump into Yan Kuan. However, when she looked at her small box and secretly thought about the oxygen bottle that this sweet little cotton-padded jacket had prepared for Yan Kuan, Shen Xiaoxiao felt that it was completely useless.

However, just in case, Shen Xiaoxiao still brought along this mini oxygen bottle.

At first glance, it looked just like the small bag that Shen Xiaoxiao was carrying. The night was as cold as water, and it was currently the hot summer season. However, because of Ouyang Tian’s accident, the entire Ouyang family fell into a strange panic.

It wasn’t just the passing servants or something. Everyone had a trace of worry on their faces, as if they were worried about their master. In fact, only they knew what they were thinking deep down in their hearts.

Shen Xiaoxiao walked all the way without anyone stopping her because they all knew that the only people who could enter the Ouyang family at this time were probably the Ouyang family’s own people. This young lady was pregnant and walking around the Ouyang family so freely… Then it was very likely that it was that she was a young master’s woman or young miss. How could they dare to offend them? Especially now that the successor was still undecided.

To reach the lake, one did not have to go through the main courtyard. Moreover, the main courtyard was full of people now, so it was not realistic. Shen Xiaoxiao walked through another small path on the side.

The busiest and most crowded place in the entire Ouyang family was the large courtyard. On the contrary, no one was going back to the lake, which had an extremely beautiful scenery. No one was in the mood to go.

In this way, Shen Xiaoxiao did not have to meet anyone.

It was already close to 10 o’clock at night, and the surroundings were pitch black. Of course, for Shen Xiaoxiao, no matter how dark it was, she could still see clearly as if she was walking in daylight.

The lake surface was calm, and the lake surface, which was half the size of the main stadium, made Shen Xiaoxiao a little nervous. If this place really led to the Forbidden Area, wouldn’t this place be a little too big? Would Yan Kuan be able to escape?

And when would he be able to escape?

Moreover, if Shen Xiaoxiao were to barge into the Forbidden Area now, it would definitely not be realistic. With her big belly, it was impossible for her to fight with anyone. She would probably be discovered the moment she walked into the edge of the Forbidden Area.

Therefore, all she could do now was to wait. She did not know if Yan Kuan would climb out of the lake later or tomorrow.

She looked at the calm surface of the lake in a daze, praying that Yan Kuan would come out soon. She did not know if God had heard her prayers or what was going on. At that moment, Shen Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that the surface of the lake was falling bit by bit. Not only that… It seemed that there was a small whirlpool in the middle of the lake. However, it was too far away. No matter how good her vision was, she could not see it clearly.

Shen Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes. When she was sure that her eyes were not playing tricks on her and that she was really descending, she was delighted and immediately threw the oxygen bottle in her bag down.

The oxygen bottle did not sink as soon as it fell into the water. As for whether it could reach Yan Kuan’s hand, that would depend on Yan Kuan’s own luck.

Just as the oxygen bottle was about to fall out of her hand, a female voice sounded from behind Shen Xiaoxiao:

“Who are you? What did you just throw into the lake?”
