Chapter 248: Fetal Movement
Sang Luo took time to check on the six cubs' homework.
The three wolf cubs were doing very well, thanks to Lan Cang's excellent teaching.
Xiao An's homework was even more outstanding. After all, he was the future heir of the Sea Emperor Palace. Although Lou Xian Yue seemed relaxed and casual in raising her child, she kept a close eye on him daily.
Sang Luo looked at the zero and fifty-four scores on the test papers, lost in thought.
The one with zero was still the eldest son, Xiao Qi.
Quan Jin had never taught his son homework. Xiao Qi spent his days sleeping by his side, so getting a zero… it was understandable, understandable.
"Xiao Zhenzhen, my darling, what's going on with you?" Sang Luo held the test paper, exasperated.
Fei Yuan leaned over for a look and chuckled, "Xiao Ye was excellent at his studies when he was young, always getting perfect scores."
The concerned mother pinched its little paw, "Your grandmother wants to pass the Bixi Clan to you. If you can't even pass your exams, how will you become the Si family's heir in the future?"
It was even taught by its own father, yet it scored so poorly. Where would Si Ye, the father's face go?
Si Ye took a lollipop and offered it to Xiao Zhenzhen, but she didn't want it. He put it in his own mouth, remaining quite calm, "Well, improving from sixteen to fifty-four is quite an improvement."
Sang Luo was embarrassed, "Is your teaching method not suitable for your daughter? Otherwise, should we find her a professional tutor?"
"I've hired three tutors for her, and they were all driven away by her." Si Ye shrugged, "I heard she's been blacklisted by all the tutors in the city. I offered ten thousand crystal stones to hire someone, but no one has come so far."
"…" Sang Luo took a deep breath, picked up the silly little daughter who was pretending to be dumb, and rubbed her furry little head hard, "It's okay, it's okay. Different children have different abilities. Xiao Zhenzhen might be a late bloomer. Mommy doesn't expect much from you. Let's try to pass next time, okay? As long as you pass the next exam, Mommy will give you a reward."
Xiao Zhenzhen immediately perked up, rubbed her two little front paws together, and said slyly, "What gift is Mommy going to give me?"
"We'll talk about it when you pass!"
Xiao Zhenzhen pouted, losing her energy again.
She hated studying the most!
Sang Luo's face was a little hot. Si Ye had been cultivated into an excellent heir with both literary and martial skills since he was a child. Why did this daughter only inherit the bad traits and not the good ones? Could it be that she inherited it from her?
Xiao Qi tried to make up for his sister, "It's okay, it's okay, Mommy. Little Yuan also doesn't know these things. When she comes back, she might score even worse than Zhenzhen."
"…" The eldest son knew how to comfort people. Sang Luo asked again, "Little Yuan?"
"Yes, Little Yuan is another little snake born to Mommy and Daddy. She's also Xiao Qi's sister."
Sang Luo had never met this eldest daughter before and knew the least about her.
Xiao Qi, Xiao Yuan.
Qi Yuan (Prayer).
Quan Jin gave them these nicknames, hoping they could grow up well.
Si Ye stayed in the palace for half a month. One day, he received a message from Si Jiong.
"Luo Luo, I'm taking Xiao Zhenzhen back to the clan."
"Did something happen in the clan?"
"Nothing happened. Si Jiong misses Xiao Zhenzhen and has sent several letters urging me to return. Zhenzhen also misses her grandmother. I'm taking her back for a visit."
The elders in the Bixi Clan valued Xiao Zhenzhen very much. Back then, Si Ye insisted on bringing Xiao Zhenzhen to raise by his side, despite the opposition of many elders, which had already made many elders unhappy. Si Jiong knew that Xiao Zhenzhen wanted to live with her parents more, so she didn't say anything, but she had agreed with Si Ye in advance that he would bring Xiao Zhenzhen back to the clan for a few days every year. She hadn't returned this year yet.
Sang Luo got up and stretched, "It's been a long time since I've seen her old lady."
Fei Yuan walked over, "You should rest well in the palace."
Si Ye, "My mother knows you're pregnant with the Phoenix's offspring, and your body is precious. Now that your belly is big, she said you shouldn't travel back and forth. If something happens, she can't bear the responsibility. She also said she would personally bring gifts to see you after you give birth."
"How can I bear that?" Sang Luo said, sitting back down. She carefully searched in her space and took out a sandalwood brocade box, "I've prepared a gift for her old lady. It's not anything precious, but please help me send it over."
Si Ye accepted her kindness and took Xiao Zhenzhen back.
This time, they didn't see each other for several months.
Sang Luo heard the reason from Fei Yuan. It was considered good news. Si Jiong was about to break through the peak of the King Beast realm. Si Ye stayed in the clan land to protect her, and wouldn't be back for a short time.
Sang Luo touched her increasingly round belly, her eyebrows also filled with joy, "I'll go back and see her old lady after giving birth. She'll definitely be a lot younger again."
"Yes, she was trapped for many years after Xiao Li's death, and her cultivation has stagnated. Now she can be considered to have completely walked out of it, which is great." Fei Yuan carefully helped her onto the bed to rest.
Sang Luo's belly was now about the size of a normal woman's seven or eight-month pregnancy. Her movements were also a bit inconvenient, so it seemed like she was about to give birth.
When Sang Luo heard Fei Yuan mention "Xiao Li," a hint of sadness flashed in his tone. She remembered that Fei Li was Fei Yuan's only younger brother.
Unfortunately, he died young. She had never met this younger uncle and regretted, "You should have resented Si Jiong."
Fei Yuan valued Si Ye very much in his heart. He had spent half of Si Ye's childhood raising him. The relationship between the uncle and nephew was deeper than the bickering on the surface.
Although Si Ye had Phoenix blood, he carried the Si family name and had nothing to do with the Phoenix Clan. Logically speaking, Fei Yuan didn't need to worry about this nephew so much and even personally taught him… Sang Luo thought about it and understood. He probably projected the feelings for his deceased younger brother onto Si Ye, his own son.
Fei Yuan neither admitted nor denied it, "Xiao Li chose to marry on his own back then. No matter what the final outcome is, I don't need to interfere or regret anything."
"Moreover, Si Jiong didn't do anything wrong. It's just that Xiao Li lost his life in their Si family after following her, which I still mind somewhat." Back then, after Si Ye was born, he had the idea of taking him away and adopting him as his son, partly because he felt sorry for his stupid brother and wanted to bring his brother's bloodline back to his side to raise.
But thinking about it now, it was fortunate that he didn't adopt him at the time.
Otherwise, the generational relationship would have been really confusing!
He didn't know how to explain to the children, "How is your daddy my daddy's daddy?"…
"If Fei Li has a spirit in heaven, he would definitely be very happy to know that Si Ye has grown up so well and even has a granddaughter." Sang Luo kissed him on the cheek.
"To have such an excellent descendant like Xiao Zhenzhen, my silly brother must be smiling from the afterlife." Fei Yuan saw the worry in her eyes, his heart softened, he scratched the tip of her nose with his finger, and smiled, "Alright, so many years have passed. I've long since let it go. Besides, this Emperor is looking forward to you and the children every day and has no mind to think about other things."
Fei Yuan went out again to brew her a bowl of calming medicine.
After Sang Luo finished drinking it, she suddenly clutched her stomach and cried out.
Fei Yuan hurriedly said, "What's wrong, Luo'er?"
"Just now it seemed like…" She smiled at him, "The baby kicked me!"
How could an egg kick someone? She quickly corrected herself, "Rolled… rolled around."
It was even funnier.
Sang Luo was a little incoherent. Fei Yuan couldn't help but smile and hugged her in his arms, overjoyed.
This was the first fetal movement of the child.
"Let this Emperor listen."
I'm organizing the outline later, no extra update~ Babies, go to bed early, good night.
Next chapter, the Phoenix cub will be born!
