Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss

The trusted advisors exchanged glances, then looked at the second prince, and immediately understood what he was thinking.

Xiao Shen had once suffered from a drug that prevented her from having children, but after marrying Ji Xiaosong, she gave birth to four children in one pregnancy.

If the Second Prince can get Ji Xiaosong pregnant, then that will be the hope for the future.

"Your Highness is brilliant!"

An advisor flattered, "However, the Xiao residence is heavily guarded, and it will not be easy to get close to Ji Xiaosong."

The second prince frowned and snorted coldly, "I refuse to believe that we can't find an opportunity."

Another newly arrived strategist pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, why not start from within the Xiao family, bribe some servants, and find an opportunity to take advantage of the situation?"

"madness!"

This method sounds unreliable. "Are you clear about the Xiao family's selection criteria? Over the years, no other family has ever been able to truly place someone in the Xiao family. Furthermore, the Xiao family has always been strict in its rules, and any slight disturbance will be immediately detected."

The second prince was so angry with this strategist that he was completely ignorant of the rules.

"Then let's just rob them outright!" shouted an impulsive strategist.

The second prince glared at him angrily and retorted, "Nonsense! Xiao Shen commands a large army and enjoys considerable prestige in the court. Openly robbing me will only make me the target of everyone's anger. Are you trying to put me in a hopeless situation?"

Everyone fell silent, no longer daring to speak freely.

The second prince paced back and forth, pondered for a moment, and then said, "This matter needs further consideration. First, we should send people to closely monitor the Xiao family's every move. As soon as an opportunity arises, we will act immediately."

In the following days, spies from the Second Prince's residence frequently moved around the Xiao residence. Xiao Shen also noticed the abnormality and strengthened the defenses of the residence.

"Husband, why are there so many more guards in the manor lately?"

Ji Xiaosong looked at the guards constantly patrolling the mansion and felt somewhat puzzled.

"With four more boys in the family, it's always good to have more people around."

Xiao Shen did not tell Ji Xiaosong about his worries; the idea that the Second Prince wanted to take her away was just his speculation.

Whether or not it comes true, he should be fully prepared.

"So that's how it is. I thought something had happened outside and the General's Mansion needed to be placed under martial law."

"Madam, do not worry. Even if something happens outside, you will be safe as long as you are in the General's Mansion."

"By the way, my husband, my mother wrote yesterday saying that a lot of fruit has ripened on the estate and invited me to come with her. I was thinking that these four children should come with me for a few days as well. Otherwise, I'm afraid they'll get bored staying at home all the time."

“Alright, I will also arrange more guards for the Ji family. You can bring the guards with you when you go.”

"With my husband's arrangements, I feel much more at ease. However, there are limits on the number of guards that officials' families can bring. Is it inappropriate for us to bring so many?"

"It's alright, they can just disguise themselves as ordinary people and farmers in the village."

A few days later, Ji Xiaosong, along with her four children and a group of guards, went to the Ji family's estate.

The journey was uneventful.

The Ji family allowed Ji's eldest sister-in-law to stay in the mansion to manage affairs, while her second and third sisters-in-law came with Ji's mother.

The second prince never gave up his covetousness for Ji Xiaosong.

The scouts reported that Ji Xiaosong had gone to the estate, and the Second Prince felt this was an excellent opportunity.

"Your Highness, Madam Xiao is currently at the estate, and the guards there are certainly not as tight as at the Xiao residence. Should we make our move?" the strategist asked.

The second prince's eyes darkened. "Investigate again. Make sure you understand the situation on the estate. Do not act rashly."

The spies spent two days investigating the Ji family's estate before they finally found out.

"Your Highness, Madam Xiao and the Ji family did not bring many guards and attendants. If we bring strong troops, we can definitely capture Madam Xiao in one fell swoop."

Upon hearing what the scout had said, the second prince was overjoyed, his eyes gleaming with greed and eagerness.

"Hahaha, Heaven is on my side!" the Second Prince exclaimed. "This time, I will personally go and snatch Ji Xiaosong away."

He stopped pacing, clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly, and said excitedly, "Pass on my order: assemble elite troops and depart tonight, making sure no one knows what's going on. Once I, the prince, have won the beauty's heart, there will be a great reward!"

The advisors responded in unison, "We will obey Your Highness's orders!"

The second prince quickly gathered his trusted and elite troops, and under the cover of night, they quietly headed towards the Ji family's estate.

They split into several groups and tightly surrounded all the exits of the manor to prevent Ji Xiaosong from escaping.

The second prince personally led a group of men straight to the main gate of the manor.

Upon reaching the gate of the estate, the Second Prince gave the order: "Charge in! Execute this swiftly and decisively, without fail!"

The soldiers swarmed toward the village like wolves.

Chaos erupted within the manor, and Ji Xiaosong and the others were awakened from their sleep.

Xiao Shen's visible guards reacted quickly, drawing their swords and engaging the Second Prince's men in close combat.

In an instant, swords clashed and shouts of battle filled the air as both sides fought desperately.

In terms of numbers, the Second Prince's men had the upper hand.

He shouted loudly in the crowd, "Madam Xiao, you can't escape! Come with me obediently!"

However, just when the Second Prince thought victory was assured, shouts of battle suddenly rang out from all around.

"What's going on? Didn't you say there weren't that many guards on the estate? Open your eyes and look, who are those people outside dressed in coarse linen clothes?"

The second prince, riding on horseback, felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the dense crowd.

Although his elite troops were formidable, they were no match for the Xiao family guards who had fought on the battlefield.

"withdraw!"

After shouting "Retreat!" at the top of his lungs, the second prince turned his horse around and galloped back the way he came.

When his soldiers saw that their master had fled, their morale plummeted, and they scattered and fled in all directions.

However, Xiao Shen's men would not let them off so easily.

The Xiao family guards, like tigers descending a mountain, relentlessly pursued the remnants of the Second Prince's army.

In the chaos, the Second Prince's entourage trampled each other, and many fell to the ground, only to be killed by the guards who caught up from behind.

At this moment, the second prince didn't care about anything else. He frantically whipped his horse, wanting only to escape this nightmarish place as quickly as possible.

Along the way, the second prince was in a sorry state, losing his armor and weapons.

Having finally shaken off Xiao Shen's guards, he led his remaining few soldiers back to his residence.

Back at his residence, the Second Prince, still shaken, collapsed into a chair, panting heavily.

"Foolish! Utterly foolish! They wasted so much time investigating, only to find it was all false information!"

Those elite soldiers were trained with great effort, yet they were mercilessly slaughtered by the Xiao family's guards without any mercy.

Tonight, even without Xiao Shen showing up, he's already made himself look so pathetic. Does he really still have a chance to snatch Ji Xiaosong away?

Thinking about the throne, the second prince had to reconsider.
