My newlywed husband is infertile, but I’m pregnant

Huo Sijiao suspected that the bet was exposed, and she hesitated whether to confess.

But Huo Xingzhou was so smart that he could sense something fishy as soon as she breathed. His voice was particularly majestic: "Tell the truth, don't lie. Explain all the details clearly."

Huo Sijiao said dryly: "What can we say about eating? Then let me tell you what dishes my sister-in-law ate?"

"Huo Sijiao, don't be mean. You know I have the ability to find out everything, but I just don't want to waste time."

Huo Sijiao stuck out her tongue.

She hesitated to negotiate terms: "Then I said, you are not allowed to communicate with my sister-in-law."

She doesn't want to be this traitor!

"Say."

"We went to the Baroque restaurant for dinner and met Xiang Mingzhu on a date with Mr. Zhong. Mr. Zhong left early, so I provoked Xiang Mingzhu to have a conflict with her. My sister-in-law made a bet with her in order to protect me."

Speaking of which, Huo Sijiao also felt a little guilty.

"I don't know how Xiang Mingzhu became so powerful. If I had known this, I would not have provoked Xiang Mingzhu. I am just angry that she instigated Ye Zhimeng behind her back and bullied her sister-in-law. My sister-in-law said she went to Haicheng to participate in the third The first round of selection is to make it more difficult for her.”

How can there be such a disgusting person.

Huo Sijiao hated evil so much that she couldn't get rid of the sand in her eyes.

Huo Xingzhou asked calmly: "What bet was made?"

"It's the ranking of the first selection at the acupuncture test meeting. Xiang Mingzhu said that if her ranking is higher than that of her sister-in-law, then her sister-in-law will have to admit in public that Cheng's acupuncture is not as good as Lu's, and vice versa."

This is a gamble on the reputation of the master.

Qiao Xi is serious.

"Ah."

Huo Xingzhou responded lightly.

"Brother, I think Xiang Mingzhu must have come prepared, and there may be some tricks behind his back. My sister-in-law won't really lose this time, right?" Huo Sijiao was in a low mood.

If she loses, my sister-in-law will be doomed.

"Don't you like to go to temples to ask for peace charms? You can also ask for one for Qiao Xi."

"Brother, what time has it been? You still have the heart to joke!"

Huo Sijiao was really worried.

Huo Xingzhou spoke slowly: "Qiao Xi will not do anything he is not sure about, not to mention that Haicheng is the territory of the Liu family and the Huo family. If people from the Imperial Capital are allowed to plot against your sister-in-law in Haicheng, I, Huo Xingzhou, don't have to mess around."

He believed that Qiao Xi also thought of this.

Hearing what he said, Huo Sijiao felt much more at ease.

She suddenly remembered something and said: "When my sister-in-law and I came back today, we found that she was in a very low mood. I thought it was Xiang Mingzhu's bet at first, but then I saw the news that my sister-in-law was searching for Mr. Zhong of the Imperial Capital."

I don’t know why my sister-in-law is so interested in Mr. Zhong.

"I guess my sister-in-law felt a little uneasy when she saw Xiang Mingzhu and Mr. Zhong eating. It would be bad if Mr. Zhong helped Xiang Mingzhu!"

In the Zhong family of the imperial capital, Huo Sijiao was also very popular.

Huo Xingzhou frowned slightly: "I understand."

I heard that Lu Yingxue took care of Mr. Zhong when he was seriously ill. The two families were engaged. And Xiang Mingzhu is Lu Yingxue's cousin, so it would make sense if Master Zhong really helped her.

Mr. Zhong's position is very unclear.

Huo Xingzhou's eyebrows were furrowed with a trace of gloom, but no matter how vague he was, he didn't seem like he could help the Huo family.

"Brother, my sister-in-law's birthday is coming soon. How do you plan to celebrate? Mom means that I want to have a big party. Our second room in the Huo family has not been busy for a long time. I will also formally introduce my sister-in-law to relatives and friends. She will marry you. There was no wedding at that time, and she was already wronged."

Huo Sijiao actually wanted to ask them when they would hold the wedding ceremony so that they could make up for their past regrets.

"Brother, please think about it. Mom and I can handle the entire banquet without your efforts. We will definitely not go to the Yunding Hotel this time."

Bad luck there.

I heard that the stock price has been at the bottom for a while, and the boss is anxious to sell it.

Businessmen all pay attention to luck, and there is no need to take advantage of others.

"Oh, I see."

Huo Xingzhou didn't say yes, nor did he refuse.

He hung up the phone directly and stood in the corridor for a while before walking into the study.

He knew very well that this bet was just the beginning, it was the Lu family's attack on Cheng's Nine Plum Blossoms.

……

late at night.

The bet was indeed leaked.

It was spread to Chinese medicine forums and posted online, causing heated discussions within a certain range.

The person who made the bet public actually said that it was Qiao Xi who took the initiative and challenged Xiang Mingzhu regardless of his ability!

Xiang Mingzhu had no choice but to accept her challenge!

This made those who saw the news couldn't help but frown, and they all felt unhappy with Qiao Xi. How could there be such an arrogant junior in the Chinese medicine community who dared to provoke the Lu family!

Cheng Han didn't dare to be so high-profile back then!

What's more, in the more than [-] years since Cheng Han disappeared, Lu Bannong had already established half of the traditional Chinese medicine field, and the rest were fragmented inheritances from various schools.

If you want to get along in this circle, it's best to be on good terms with Lu Bannong, and at worst, you can't be on bad terms with him.

Twenty years ago, Cheng Han lost to Lu Bannong in the acupuncture test competition, which already represented the decline of Cheng's acupuncture school. In the past twenty years, Lu Bannong's network of contacts was intricate and his medical skills improved.

They all felt that Cheng Han was old and a young apprentice could not make waves.

Lu Bannong is only in his fifties, and the next generation Lu Yingxue is also showing off his talents. Most of his disciples are talented and hard-working children, and the future should belong to the Lu family's Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Sect.

There was a lot of discussion among experts on the forum.

"Cheng Han's apprentice is only twenty-two years old. I don't think the cases she treated in Haicheng are particularly outstanding. The Liu family's vegetative state is said to be a medical miracle. Maybe it's just a blind cat that hit a dead mouse."

"Arrogant and ignorant! So arrogant! How could Cheng Han accept such a disciple!"

"Since you dare to issue a challenge, you should have two brushes! Don't underestimate this Qiao Xi."

"Is it possible that he can be compared to Lu Yingxue? Even Xiang Mingzhu is enough. Cheng Han only has one apprentice, while Lu Bannong has dozens of apprentices, and he has three direct disciples. Those three are all well-known young figures in the imperial capital."

"Now Cheng's acupuncture will be wiped out! It is also a great experience in life to hear the successor of Cheng's acupuncture personally admit that it is not as good as the Lu family's Thirteen Acupuncture Acupuncture!"

"The Cheng family's acupuncture skills are just not as good as the Lu family's! Cheng Han only wants to please ordinary people and accumulate fame! What mysterious acupuncture techniques have those ordinary people seen?"

Cheng Han's Chinese medicine doctor is indeed recommended by ordinary people, but Lu Bannong is better at making friends with powerful people!

Everyone in the forum felt that Qiao Xi worked alone, was young and energetic, and was too strong to be easily broken.

Not optimistic about her.

Traditional Chinese medicine requires "quietness" and avoids recklessness!

People with this kind of temperament are not suitable for traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture.

Discussions about this matter continued late into the night, and Qiao Xi didn't know anything.

……

the next morning.

Qiao Xi opened her sleepy eyes. Her stomach no longer hurt, only a sinking feeling.

Huo Xingzhou went out.

After she briefly washed herself, she went downstairs. Aunt Qian prepared a nutritious breakfast and looked at her lovingly.

"Young madam, let's have some breakfast first..." Aunt Qian glanced at her and hesitated.

Aunt Qian is very fashionable and has recently imitated young people in surfing the Internet.

She was particularly concerned about the news about the Huo family. She saw the heated discussion on the Internet last night and wondered whether she should tell Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi noticed something strange about her and asked, "Aunt Qian, do you have something to tell me?"
