Reborn as a Happy Wife in a Rural Family

Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Not Holding a Three-Day Banquet

”You silly goose, I wish we didn’t have to reveal anything either. There’s no reason to be upset; I feel the same way,” Gu Qingli said, gripping his hand.

It was all for the children’s safety; they had no choice.

Over the past month, Qingchen in Capital City had faced numerous assassination attempts. It wasn’t hard to guess why.

Members of the Secret Sect learned this after eavesdropping on a conversation between Master Wuliao and Xiaochen.

Apparently, it all started with a strange celestial phenomenon at the beginning of the year, said to indicate the arrival of an Emperor Star.

Coincidentally, at that very time, Qingchen had begun to raise troops and station them in that direction.

All nations have their own imperial astronomers in the Qin Tianjian, skilled in predicting events and interpreting celestial signs. Naturally, they came to regard Qingchen as this Emperor Star.

An Emperor Star is prophesied to rule the entire continent. How could the two major powers, the Xichen Kingdom and the Fengli Kingdom, simply sit back and watch?

They had to eliminate Qingchen before his power base was fully established.

And so, hordes of assassins and death-sworn warriors, as if their lives cost nothing, were dispatched to eliminate Qingchen.

Moreover, Xiao Yunjing had also established himself as a dominant figure in his own right. Although his influence wasn’t as extensive as Qingchen’s, there was no telling what the future might hold.

What’s more, Xiao Yunjing and Gu Qingli hailed from Qiyang County, the very region where the ’anomalous star’ had appeared.

Therefore, adhering to the principle of ’rather kill an innocent person by mistake than let a target go,’ large groups of assassins were also dispatched towards Beijing County.

However, to enter Beijing, they first had to pass through Banyue City, which was currently under construction.

With over a dozen Secret Sect members stationed there, it was hardly a place those assassins could breach at will.

These days, members of the Secret Sect, if not capable of fighting one against a hundred, could certainly handle ten opponents each with ease.

In just one month, they had intercepted six or seven waves of assailants.

Given this situation, Gu Qingli was certainly not foolish enough to expose her three precious babies to the public and invite even greater calamity.

She even wished she could stay within the Space until her postpartum confinement period was over.

The only issue was Ms. Su and Gu Xicheng; they were unaware of the Space’s existence, and it would be difficult to explain.

It wasn’t that Gu Qingli distrusted them. However, they were different from the members of the Secret Sect. The Secret Sect members were bound by an unswerving oath of loyalty to Gu Qingli and Xiao Yunjing; they would die before revealing such a secret.

For anyone else, they couldn’t be so certain.

What if Qingchen captured Gu Xicheng and his wife, then threatened them with the lives of Gu Qingping and the others? Would they reveal the secret or not? It was best not to let them know.

”With a wife like you, what more could a husband ask for!” Xiao Yunjing embraced her, his heart overflowing with an indescribable joy. Li’er is truly so considerate and incredibly astute, he thought. I, Xiao Yunjing, must have cultivated blessings for ten lifetimes to have married her.

”Li’er, rest assured. Give your husband three more years, and I will surely create an era of peace and prosperity for you and our three children.”

”Alright, we’ll be waiting,” Gu Qingli replied, an eyebrow arched.

「Over the next ten days,」 the three little ones indeed underwent a remarkable transformation. Once their jaundice subsided, their skin became much fairer. They had also opened their eyes, revealing large, glossy black orbs as beautiful as obsidian, utterly captivating.

Every day, Ms. Su, Wuqing, and Wuyou doted on them with meticulous care. They adored the triplets so much they could hardly bear to put them down, leaving Gu Qingli opportunities to cuddle them only at night.

”Li’er, I’ve received a letter from your eldest brother. Your sister-in-law is also pregnant! She’s past the critical period, and the pregnancy is stable now,” Ms. Su said to Gu Qingli with a smile, holding the Eldest triplet.

Gu Qingli perceived that Ms. Su was thinking of returning home and said, ”That’s wonderful news! Mother, are you thinking of going back? If so, I’ll have Yunjing arrange for an escort for you.”
