Ruthless Host and Her Little Darling Quick Transmigration

"As for Hongxiu, she went back to the villa after returning. If you don't believe me, you can call her over and ask her."

"Go and summon Hongxiu! It's not that I don't trust you. This matter concerns the reputation of the Li family, so we must investigate it carefully." Father Li waved his hand, and a servant quickly went out.

Li Mo tightened his grip on Tang Xiaoxiao's hand. What a wonderful father he was! Other people's fathers solve problems, but his father solved his own!

He hoped nothing would go wrong with Hongxiu; it would be best if she could stay. If all else failed, he would have to implement his final plan. He hoped that the little girl and his good father wouldn't give him that chance.

He had always treated her well, and he believed she would know what to do for such a small favor. Despite reassuring himself with these thoughts, Li Mo was still somewhat uneasy.

Sensing Li Mo's nervousness, Tang Xiaoxiao looked up and gave him a sweet smile.

Li Mo smiled in response, his mood calming down. They had already endured so much suffering; a brighter future awaited them.

The returning servant did not bring Hongxiu back. Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief, but was still somewhat puzzled.

"Master, Hongxiu has committed suicide by poisoning herself."

Li Mo looked at the servant kneeling on the ground in shock. She could have avoided dying! That girl... was one of the few people who truly cared for her.

“Father, since Hongxiu has committed suicide out of shame and indignation, there is no need to investigate this matter any further. Let's leave it at that!” Li Mo sighed, feigning great sadness, and quickly brought the matter to a conclusion.

This matter was suspicious in every way. Hongxiu was dead, and her daughter-in-law was someone of extraordinary background. No matter how much the people in the hall discussed it, Li's father could only give up and hastily conclude the matter.

Hongxiu's death ended so abruptly, and no one cared.

They simply claimed to the outside world that their daughter-in-law came from another continent. They believed that their practice of cultivating immortality was fundamentally different from entering the divine cave.

Upon hearing these words from the Li family, the winds of change shifted once more! It seemed there truly was another continent, and a person had come from there. The major families of Liucheng could no longer remain silent and flocked to request a visit. These are all matters for the future, and we will leave them aside for now.

Hearing that the matter was over, Tang Xiaoxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as she relaxed, she felt dizzy and almost fainted.

Li Mo was relatively close, and seeing her swaying, he immediately steadied her.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Li Mo placed his hand on her back and secretly channeled some spiritual energy into her.

With the support of spiritual energy, Tang Xiaoxiao felt much better. She gave him a grateful smile, her face pale. No wonder everyone likes to keep a few backup options. With so many backups, there's bound to be one who's truly sincere. When you're desperate, they can lend a hand.

Tang Xiaoxiao's unusual condition was quickly noticed; her face was pale and her lower body felt unsteady. It seemed as if she had suffered a severe internal injury, resulting in an unstable foundation.

Li Mo took Tang Xiaoxiao back to his courtyard and gave her various precious medicinal herbs to help her recover. The journey had been arduous, and then came the ordeal upon their return. Tang Xiaoxiao was exhausted and finally collapsed onto the bed, falling asleep instantly.

The crowd learned from the servants that Tang Xiaoxiao's current situation was very puzzling.

Are cultivators really that physically weak?

Since it was inconvenient for everyone to confront them directly, they brought the matter to the head of the family.

If that girl wasn't from another continent, she wouldn't be qualified to become the next matriarch of the Li family.

"Go and call the young master over."

When Li Mo arrived, he found himself in this same three-way interrogation situation again and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Is Father planning to interrogate me again?"

Hearing Li Mo's words, Li's father suppressed his anger. After all, Li Mo was now under the protection of a god at the seventh level of the Void God Realm, and he dared not offend him too much.

"What's with that girl you brought back? She's so frail, you could blow her away in a breeze. You didn't just make up a lie to fool us, did you?" Even though she had suppressed her anger, her words still carried a questioning tone.

“Father, what are you saying? You all saw Xiaoxiao take out the tablet yesterday! You can’t just make things up like that. How heartbroken Xiaoxiao would be if she heard that.”

"As for Xiaoxiao's health condition..." Li Mo frowned, seemingly finding it very difficult to speak.

Everyone was puzzled by his expression. What's wrong with just saying what you mean?

Li Mo took a deep breath, as if he had mustered up immense courage.

"It's also my fault for being young and ignorant. Xiaoxiao was already pregnant! I didn't want the child to be born without a name or status, and I was also afraid of hurting Xiaoxiao's feelings, so I held the wedding outside. I didn't expect that someone would deliberately spread rumors at the wedding. I was afraid that my father would hear them and misunderstand, so I brought Xiaoxiao back immediately."

"She's pregnant, but she can't be that weak, can she? We've seen pregnant women before, and she clearly has a weak constitution." There are always some troublemakers who don't know their place and cause him trouble at every turn.

“Xiaoxiao did get hurt for me before, and that's when we started to confess our feelings for each other. So when we found out she was pregnant, we did everything we could to keep the baby. We hope that our father can grant us this wish as parents.”

"In that case, you may leave." Knowing that things had been explained clearly, Li's father didn't want to see his son for even a moment longer. It was as if everyone owed him something, and just seeing him annoyed him.

Even though I had given up all hope for them, a faint pang of pain still rose in my heart.

Or... let's kill them all!

"Big brother believed it just like that? He made it all a fact just by saying a few words?"

"You've seen that thing too, do you think it could be faked?"

“This… I was confused by that girl’s background yesterday, and I’ve been thinking about it carefully since then. What she said yesterday was full of loopholes. There are also many strange things about that girl. How could a cultivator be so weak? She went back and couldn’t get out of bed. It’s really suspicious.”

Uncle Li stroked his chin and suddenly had an idea.

"Her body was injured, but her mouth wasn't. Wasn't she quite talkative yesterday? Several families have said they want to pay a visit."

"Second brother, what are you planning to do...?"

"Tomorrow, we'll invite a few prominent families and have her explain the cultivation system of another continent to us on the spot. She can't make it up in a short time; we'll find out whether it's true or false once we test it."

"Good idea! I'll give the order right away." Father Li immediately instructed his men to make the arrangements.

Li Jing inwardly curled his lip; his elder brother was utterly clueless. Every year he'd wail and lament over a tombstone, yet he was critical and harsh towards his own son. Such a useless piece of trash was the head of the Li family—it was laughable!
