I Can See Your Combat Power-Chapter 953 - 247: Double Happiness Knocks on the Door

Chapter 953: Chapter 247: Double Happiness Knocks on the Door

People only live once, and so they often make foolish and repetitive mistakes, just like when Tang Xing discovered that Miao Zhu’s chest was in pain and swollen, and she was feeling nauseous, his first reaction was to seek help from the Martial Hall.

The physicians of the Martial Hall hurried to the Sect Head’s residence, and after taking the pulse and diagnosing, they confirmed without a doubt that Miao Zhu was pregnant. The two youngsters who had just started dealing with life’s affairs were completely dumbfounded on the spot.

But the second son, who had once been instructed by his elder brother to take responsibility, didn’t falter this time. After comforting the maid, he said he would report to the Martial Hall to ensure the little girl could rest peacefully to nurture the embryo, and then he went alone to the clan estate to report the pregnancy and the happy news that the Tang Family would be welcoming a new addition.

“You…really have…quite the skill.”

Rubbing his aching head, Tang Luo helplessly said, “Some hide their maidservant’s pregnancy as if it’s shameful, but you, on the other hand, go and present yourself to them. I was wondering why there were two more law enforcement martial artists at the gate; so it was because of this!”

The scolded boy retorted, “Isn’t it what brother said about being responsible? How was I to know that the clan estate had such inhumane rules? Why should Miao Zhu’s pregnancy be terminated, while Tang Peng’s wife’s isn’t? How come the clan estate doesn’t intervene there!”

“That’s because his wife is the primary spouse. If you married Miao Zhu as the primary spouse, the clan estate wouldn’t care about your mess.”

Of course, these words couldn’t be said in front of Miao Zhu, so Tang Luo could only shake his head and say, “Rules are rules. Right now, the most important thing is to think of how to save the child in Miao Zhu’s womb.”

As the family was talking, the housekeeper Chang Le stood at the entrance of the dining hall and respectfully said to Tang Luo, “Eldest young master, second young master, there’s a letter from the Jiejiang City clan estate, and it requires your decision!”

“A letter from the Jiejiang City clan estate?” Tang Luo took the letter, glancing unintentionally at Tang Xing while opening it and confusedly saying to Chang Le, “Even if the clan estate intervenes, shouldn’t it be the one from Lanshan City, not Jiejiang City?”

Lanshan City is in the middle to upper stream of Lingjiang while Jiejiang City is almost at the very end, near the edge of Longxi. The waters are separated by more than a thousand miles; the distance is so far, it’s inconvenient.

“Exactly.” Chang Le agreed from the side, “I was puzzled too, but the servant who delivered the letter said that it was urgent and hoped that the young master could reply quickly. It must be something important, I suppose?”

“I see.” Tang Luo nodded, unfolded the letter, and just after a glance, his forehead was lined with black traces.

The letter, sent from the Jiejiang City clan estate, was not about the anticipated issue of Miao Zhu, but an inquiry concerning Tang Xing from the Jiejiang City clan estate.

The content was simple: Tang Zhen, a Martial Hall student who returned to Jiejiang City residence for a break, was found to be pregnant. Lady Ning of the acting Sect Head Tang Qian’s family was furious, and upon questioning, Tang Zhen revealed that the person who compromised her chastity was Tang Xing. Ning brought a lawsuit against Tang Xing to the clan estate, demanding an explanation for her family.

With Tang Sen and Xu Shuhui away, Tang Luo was the acting head of the Tang Family, so the letter naturally reached Lanshan City.

“Look at the fine mess you’ve made.”

Putting down the letter, Tang Luo said to Tang Xing, who was still eating, with no good humor in his voice, “Finish your meal and get ready. You’re coming with me to Jiejiang City!”

“???” Tang Xing lifted his head in confusion and didn’t forget to pop a piece of crispy roasted beast meat into his mouth as he mumbled unclearly, “What happened?”

After looking at Miao Zhu, Tang Luo said with no words to spare, “The Jiejiang City clan estate sent word, Tang Zhen is also pregnant!”

“Clang!”

The copper chopsticks fell onto the table, and Tang Xing’s mouth hung open, his eyes filled with disbelief.

“Since coming back from Martial Saint Mountain, you’ve really been busy.”

Tang Luo shook his head, stood up, and said to the two pale-faced youngsters, “I’ll find a safe place to settle Miao Zhu first, and then I’ll take you to Jiejiang City. You better think about how you’re going to face Ning.”

Miao Zhu caught a knowing glance and left the still dazed Tang Xing, with the little maid following closely behind with small, careful steps. A sweep of her peripheral vision, however, revealed the maid trembling all over, her pale and panic-stricken face like a frail grass swaying in the wind, utterly helpless and alone.

Tang Luo didn’t turn his head, but he sighed quietly in consolation, “Don’t worry, the kid might be fickle-hearted, but his nature isn’t bad and he values affection. He won’t leave you in the lurch. I’ll take you to a safe place first. Just wait there peacefully for him to return, and don’t do anything foolish.”

“Thank you, Young Master.”

With tears welling in her eyes, Miao Zhu truly thought she’d be severely punished for becoming pregnant as a maid—it was a grave offense. She didn’t even dare to look up while eating, but now, hearing such comforting words, she felt an exceptional warmth in her heart.

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but in this season of heavy snowfall, she felt warmth all over, not cold at all.

Having settled the young maid in the Marshal Star Pavilion and instructed Du Sha that no one was to take Miao Zhu away, Tang Luo turned back to the residence, where he saw the little guy who hadn’t even changed his sitting posture, looking utterly despondent.

With Miao Zhu no longer by his side, Tang Luo showed no courtesy as he struck the little guy’s head with a knife-hand blow, causing Tang Xing to burst into tears and snot.

Holding his head and crouching on the ground, the little guy said hoarsely, “Brother, I’m finished!”

Tang Luo frowned and said, “Finished what? Get up quickly. Is hiding going to solve the trouble you’ve caused?”

Standing up dejectedly, Tang Xing lamented, “Now I’m really done for. Zhen must be furious with me!”

“Now you know fear? What were you doing earlier?”

Grabbing Tang Xing by the collar, Tang Luo said indifferently, “Stop frowning, this is cause for celebration. The household was thinly populated to begin with, and with two more on the way, it counts as branching out. Just go and have a good talk with the Sect, it shouldn’t be a big problem!”

Tang Xing grimaced, “But, brother, I’m not ready yet!”

“In life, there are few things you can prepare for. Most of the time, it’s all about groping your way forward. Being a father is totally about responsibility. Whether you’re a good dad or a bad dad, you’re still a dad, so what’s there to worry about?”

Dragging the despondent little guy, Tang Luo broke through the heavy snow and took to the skies, flying straight towards Jiejiang City.

Jiejiang City, the Sect Headquarters

Sect Head Tang Ling and the acting Sect Head of Jiejiang City, Tang Qian, sat in the chief seats while a lady from the Ning Family sat in the second seat, wiping away her tears.

Tang Zhen knelt below, listening to the physician’s report with an expressionless face.

Tang Xing returned from Martial Saint Mountain and told her about his near-death experiences there—he had been indoctrinated by Buddha Son Yankong, and in a daze, he felt as if he had become someone else.

The only thing that sustained his will to resist the Buddha Seed was the obsession to return and marry her.

They were childhood sweethearts who had always harbored feelings for each other. Upon hearing this, how could there not be feelings of love stirred? Their tender affection eventually kindled the flames of desire, but who could have imagined that their first foray into forbidden pleasure would bear fruit?

Tang Zhen didn’t feel that her chastity had been tainted, as she was destined to marry Tang Xing, for he had promised to care for her and love only her for a lifetime.
