The Eunuch is Pregnant [2]

Chapter 234: The assassin

By the time Le Yao Yao woke up, it was already sunset. She gradually fluttered her eyes open and stretched her arms to yawn.

Then, a tender teasing voice entered her ears. "Little Miss Piggy, are you going to get up now?"

Le Yao Yao instantly flopped her body against Leng Jun Yu's and found herself a comfortable spot. "Yu, when did you come back?" she mumbled.

"I came back two hours ago, but you were asleep, so I didn't want to wake you."

"Wow. I slept a lot!"

"Haha, it's alright. More sleep is good for pregnant women!"

At this moment, Leng Jun Yu paused.

"Today, I received Jun Xi's letter. He has decided to marry Ya'er. He will tell his mother about this and cancel the engagement between you two."

"What?! Really!? That's wonderful!" Le Yao Yao exclaimed.

"As for us, I've already mentioned it to my brother today. We're going to find a day within the next two months for the wedding."

"Within two months?" Isn't that too soon?

But Le Yao Yao understood that if she was obviously pregnant during the wedding, it would be disastrous for the both of them. After all, they were living in a relatively conservative time period. Women were supposed to be virgins until they married.

So, the sooner they get married, the better it would be.

Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao felt overwhelmed. Three months ago, she was merely a high school student; all she thought about was school work.

But now, she was pregnant and about to get married. Life was truly unpredictable!

Le Yao Yao was certain that she'll never regret marrying Leng Jun Yu. In her mind, they were going to live a happily ever after. But little did they know that a violent storm was heading their way!

The ground was still damp from the rainstorm this morning. Right now, there was a mud stench in the air.

The breeze was quite chilly. At this time, most people would be at home, deep asleep. The only sound that could be heard was the person striking the gong telling people to beware of items that can easily burn due to dry air (tl: This is very common in Ancient China. I don't know why they do that but it's like a job for someone's night shift. The actual saying is "天干物燥，小心火烛" )

Suddenly, a small figure dressed in black appeared on the dark street. The person was dressed in all black. Although the hood hid the face, from the shape of the body, it was obviously female.

The woman left the main street and went through several empty alleys. Eventually, she stopped outside of a decaying abandoned courtyard.

When the wind blew, the broken door made a "ee ah ee ah" sound. On this silent night, it heightened the scary effect.

Even homeless people wouldn't come to such a remote and deserted place.

The woman seemed a bit hesitant and scared at the same time. On one hand, she was holding a lantern supported with a stick. She stood there for quite some time before she summoned enough courage to walk inside.

At first, she glanced around the decaying courtyard. Then, she quietly whispered, "Is there....anyone here?"

The shadows from her surroundings looked like the claws of a monster. Clearly, the woman was spooked. She gulped down her saliva and turned to leave.

At this moment, there was a *bang* sound near her. It sounded like something fell over.

It was a sharp noise on this quiet night.
