Ashley nodded. "Yes, she helped clean up the bloodstains."

Su Yan continued, "Did she speak to Rona?"

“She definitely said something. She kept trying to persuade Lorna not to get too emotional, and I tried to persuade her too.” Ashley shook her head. “But it was no use. In the end, she still shouted that killer sentence.”

“Ashley, think again. Did Galen do anything else while she was taking care of Lorna?”

"What do you mean?" Ashley's expression turned serious.

Su Yan nodded. "I do have some doubts. Think about it, when Galen first met Rona, Rona suddenly suffered a massive hemorrhage. Did she really not do anything when Rona died?"

Ashley recalled, "My grandmother and I left the delivery room to discuss ways to save her, but it was only for a short while that Galen and Lorna were alone together."

"That's enough if she wants to do something to Lorna."

"But... what good would it do her to harm Rona? Just so the clan leader could keep her as a mistress?"

“I think that wandering orc is also suspicious. Go check if he has been in contact with Jialian. She is in the Female Cave, so it is easy for her to come into contact with people like that. Also, the victory banquet at the Beast God Temple is not so easy to sneak into. Without the invitation token, the guards will definitely not let anyone in.”

Regarding the leaf-shaped wooden token, Zulu mentioned it to her when preparing for the full moon banquet. The victory banquet is the same; only a leaf-shaped wooden token specially granted by the Beast God Temple can be used to enter the temple.

Ashley's expression grew increasingly grim. "Fine, I'll have Rag ask him. It's more convenient for the males to go to the female cave."

“Rag? He’s a regular at Galen.”

"What!" Ashley exclaimed in surprise, she had no idea about this.

“Zulu said that when they were hunting demons, they would inevitably get bored and talk about secrets between males, especially about female orifices. Rag said that in order for Galen to get pregnant, males with high talent could use her body at will without having to provide resources.”

"This... Jialian has gone mad! No, I have to investigate this thoroughly. Wait for my news."

"Don't let her find out that Galen is definitely not as simple as she seems on the surface."

"If she's a poisonous woman, I will never tolerate her!"

"Yes, I just want to find out the cause of Rona's death before moving to the Rabbit Clan. Since she called my name, this matter is already inextricably linked to me."

"it is good."

Ashley hurriedly left again.

Su Yan touched her already swollen belly, "Jialian, what exactly are you trying to do..."

Xiao Luo brought over a bowl of freshly made double-skin milk pudding. "Ashley, try some of my homemade stuffed milk. Hey? Where's Ashley?"

"She had to leave early. Where is Zulu?"

“Zulu went to the Rabbit Clan. Before he left, he told you not to go out and to stay home and take good care of yourself during your pregnancy.”

"..." He's really in cahoots with the child-rearing system, only caring about the child.

"How many days until birth?" Su Yan asked the system, Xiao Mei.

Xiao Mei waited a moment before replying: [Ten days, 7 hours, 34 minutes, and 53 seconds.]

[...No need for such details.] Ten days later, she would know what kind of 'thing' Zulu was.

The next day, Ashley came to see Su Yan again.

This time she brought a basket of bird eggs to nourish her body. But looking at her dark circles, it seemed as if she was the one who needed the nourishment.

Su Yan poured her a cup of tea made with the root of the Seven Star Red Fruit.

After Ashley finished drinking it, she immediately felt much better. "This tea is good."

"It's made with Seven Star Red Fruit, which is very difficult to harvest." Su Yan handed Ashley a dried Seven Star Red Fruit plant.

Ashley had seen this before. "Isn't this a poisonous plant?"

Su Yan replied, "The poison will disappear when the fruit turns red. It will be safe to harvest it then."

"I see." Ashley picked up the Seven Star Red Fruit and examined it. "If we encounter it again, we can't let it go."

"Yes, these plants may seem indifferent, but they know how to protect themselves by using poison as a disguise. When they mature and are ready to spread and reproduce, they will reduce their toxicity, allowing wild animals to eat them or for them to be carried away by the wind."

"That's really true." Ashley admired Su Yan more and more; talking to her always brought new insights. "Can't you stay?"

“Although I am the wife, the men in the house are the ones who make the decisions, so I just go along with their arrangements,” Su Yan said with a smile.

"What a pity, I really wish I could keep you company more often."

"The rabbit tribe isn't far away either; we can get there by crossing just one mountain."

"Hmm. Anyway, the tribal shamans often visit each other, and I'll be going to the rabbit tribe quite often. I'll come find you to play then."

"No problem." Su Yan poured her another cup of tea.

After exchanging pleasantries, Ashley's expression darkened.

"Just as you guessed, Galen does know that wandering orc. The people from the female cave didn't say anything at first. Later, a female who wasn't on good terms with Galen said that the wandering orc had contacted Galen twice."

"Galian didn't attend the victory celebration banquet at the Beast God Temple, did she?"

"Yes. The female cave said that Jialian wasn't feeling well that day, so she went home to rest."

"Does she have a winning bid card for the victory celebration?"

“…Yes!” Ashley’s face grew paler with each word, and her hair stood on end.

"I'll go and have my grandmother arrest her right now. Such a vicious woman must not be allowed to live!"

"The wandering orc is dead, so words alone are not enough; we need evidence. However, evidence will be hard to find. She was able to orchestrate all of this, so she must have already planned out the aftermath."

"What should I do?"

"Let her confess!"

"She herself... that's impossible."

Su Yan touched her stomach. "Not necessarily."

……

Zulu returned from the Beast Forest carrying two live deer and four Purple Cloud Fruits.

Now Su Yan eats a Zixia fruit every two days to nourish the fetus's natural needs.

However, this thing is a rare and precious treasure, and it is not easy to find. Zulu spent almost all his days in the Beast Forest searching for the Purple Cloud Fruit.

Oro took the live deer. "We're out of fresh meat, and Yan'er had a great appetite this morning. She ate a whole bucket of meat and a purple fruit you picked. She's sleeping now."

"Okay, I'll go take a look." Zulu's handsome face was adorned with a gentle smile as he took the Purple Cloud Fruit to find Su Yan.

But when she saw a large pillow under the blankets and no one was there, her face turned as cold as ice.

The next instant, he vanished from the spot.

……

Grom, in a very good mood, brought Su Yan a glass of milk.

Grom treats pregnant females like his own children, saying things like, "Good girl, drink more of this, it's good for you and the baby."

Su Yan hurriedly tried to get up to thank him, but was stopped by a look from Grom.

"Thank you, shaman. I've come to talk to Ashley, that's all."

"She's getting a progesterone test done, she'll be here soon."

Someone entered the guest room and said to Grom, "Clan shaman, the chieftain's wife has arrived. She says she has a headache and wants you to take a look."

“Coming right away,” Grom replied.

Su Yan said, "The clan shaman goes to do his work; I'll just wait here myself."

"Okay, just call for help if you need anything. There are people waiting outside."

"Yes, clan shaman."

After Grom left, Su Yan drank her milk and waited patiently.

Another person entered the guest room, and Su Yan smiled, "Ashley, you're busy... Garen?"

Jialian wore a bright red, low-cut, fitted long dress made of fine cotton. Her snow-white, round, and alluring breasts made her otherwise ordinary face even more stunning.
