An Accidental Rebirth: The Surrogate Bride - Chapter 135

As domineering as Prince Mu was, Nangong Du, how could he let go of his “consort” he had a hard time getting back easily? So, Zixiu hadn’t gone ten meters when he was stuffed back into the carriage!

‘It’s useless trying to reason with a barbarian! Intelligence is no match for force in this barbarous age ruled by a barbarian royal family! The damned autocratic monarchy system!’ As Nangong Du had struck his acupoint again, Zixiu could do nothing except for complaining and cursing inwardly. In modern society, Mark Lira had been learning Taekwondo for years, but in front of Nangong Du, he did not even get a chance to use it! ‘In this increasingly immoral world, nice people are always bullied! It’s so unfair!’

On the contrary, Nangong Du thought that Liu Zixiu was asking for trouble. He had been putting up with him for a long time, but his indulgence made this little brat even more presumptuous！As his legal consort, Liu Zixiu fled from Prince Mu’s mansion when his husband was ill, and he turned to run when his husband finally found him! He plotted against his husband by slipping the laxative into the latter’s food! He poured chill water over his husband’s head and kicked him! What’s more, he had never stopped talking back to his husband! If he had not been so easy on him, how come Liu Zixiu had not realized how badly he had behaved until now?

“Liu Zixiu, listen! If you dare to push your luck again, I won’t show mercy!” Nangong Du was aware that it was not the right time to punish him now, so he decided to teach Zixiu a lesson when they returned to his mansion.

‘Push my luck? Bullshit!’ Zixiu sneered inwardly. He was tired of contending with this arrogant prince, who threw his weight about and thought for granted that everyone in the country was a servant of the royal family! He would not even bother to take a look at this spoiled scumbag, who had been treated like a god and never had to worry about life! If he liked a woman, all he had to do was wave his hand and she would become his. If anyone provoked him, all he had to do was make a gesture, and his guards would teach that person a good lesson for him! To keep his eyes from being contaminated by this creature, Zixiu chose to close them.

Nangong Du had something on his mind, so he was glad to see Zixiu stop nagging.

Neither of the two spoke along their way.

As the blind old lady said, it would take them two days to get to the next inhabited place. It was difficult to go through the snow, and they did not see a single person for a whole day.

As it was getting dark outside, they seemed to have no choice but to spend the night in the wilderness.

Along the way, as Zixiu needed to answer the call of nature, Nangong Du struck his acupoint so that he could move freely. Instead of taking this chance to flee, Zixiu went back to the carriage obediently, so Nangong Du did not strike his acupoint again.

Actually, both of them knew the current situation well. Nangong Du believed that Liu Zixiu was not an impulsive fool. Zixiu also knew that he had missed the best opportunity to find his “dad”. It was freezing cold, and it might snow at any moment. Besides, he was “pregnant” and did not know his way home. So if he insisted on going back alone, it would be very dangerous. Moreover, if his “dad” was out of danger, he would definitely come to find him! In an age of poor transportation and communications, the two of them were very likely to miss each other. He was certain if he was with Nangong Du, his smart “dad” would definitely find him!

At night, the carriage finally stopped in a forest with less snow.

Zhao Yu and Ah Chen, who disguised himself as a groom, got out of the carriage to prepare the meal. They did not accept the food from the blind old lady. The old lady who lived on a shoestring already treated them to breakfast, and they would feel ashamed if they took away the food she had prepared for the winter. Before leaving, they left her some silver ingots as a gift of gratitude for breakfast and for putting up them for the night.

Zixiu knew nothing about that. As far as he was concerned, the two of them were just lackeys of that arrogant prince, Nangong Du. However, he had never thought that it was Nangong Du who had asked his men to give the old lady the silver ingots!

Although they had recovered from yesterday’s shock, leaving their home suddenly and being controlled by someone made the Yu family feel uneasy.  They were no fool. They were stunned by the ‘flirtatious’ scene in the carriage this morning, especially Liu Zixiu’s complaining in a pettishly charming manner. They had never expected that Zixiu was a girl, and the pregnant woman who had fallen into the river was not Zixiu’s cousin, but Zixiu “herself”!

Apart from being surprised, they were delighted, and it was because of the joy that they relaxed their nerves. They believed that Zixiu would protect them, and they would be safe with “her” around.

Sure enough, someone provided them with a heater in their carriage today! It was obvious that Zixiu treated them well! Therefore, seeing that the servant and the groom were busy making a fire and cooking, the Yus got out of the carriage to help.

After discussion, Yu Xiaohu and Shiliu decided to show their gratitude to Zixiu, who they had not seen all day. As Zixiu was a “girl”, Yu Xiaohu asked Shiliu to do this on his behalf.

While Zixiu’s poker-faced husband was away, Shiliu came to Zixiu’s carriage with a cup of warm tea.

When the third time he confirmed that Yu Xiaohu’s wife was calling him “Sister”, Zixiu almost choked on his own saliva and blacked out. He pounded his chest like a gorilla and took a few deep breaths before lifting the curtain!

Shiliu immediately handed over the warm tea to him.

When he heard her calling him “Sister Liu” again, Zixiu almost burst into tears with the corner of his mouth twitched. He was abstracted and did not hear what Shiliu said next at all.

Shiliu was a smart and sensible woman. As she wanted to know what those people would do with her family, she tried to take this opportunity to get some information from her “Sister Liu”. However, as her “Sister Liu” seemed to be restless, she felt ashamed to disturb “her” anymore.

When she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of what had happened in the morning. She then lowered her voice with an ambiguous look, trying to persuade Zixiu with her own experience. “That’s what men are! As long as the baby is born, everything will be fine!”

“Rumble…” Zixiu, who had been in a trance, felt as if a bomb exploded in his head when he suddenly heard what she said. It turned out that he also shot himself in the foot while taking revenge on Nangong Du!

Not long after Shiliu got out of the carriage, Nangong Du returned. Zixiu did not want to see him, so he got out of the carriage without even looking at him. After a long day in the carriage, he could finally stretch himself outside. Now that the Yu family had treated him as a pregnant woman, he had nothing to be embarrassed about.

Nangong Du did not say anything.

During dinner, one of the two was eating in the carriage, while the other insisted on eating with other people around the fire.

This made Shiliu more convinced that the young couple had a little domestic! Yuxiao exchanged looks with his wife and immediately understood what she meant.
