Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 2068: Zi Xia

Xuexue was well aware, Xiao Taohong used to have many younger siblings. After the great revenge was fulfilled, they all reincarnated, leaving only Xiao Taohong behind.

Xuexue secretly took a dozen or so Insect Persons out of the Imperial Palace and arranged them in a hidden place. Xiao Taohong’s potential as an older sister emerged again, as she often took care of these Insect Persons.

Because the Insect Persons had many Gu eggs inside their stomachs, some had already hatched into larvae, causing their bellies to swell enormously. They couldn’t even close their mouths. Each time Xiao Taohong saw this, she would burst into tears uncontrollably, crying for several Shichen Chinese Times at the very least.

Little Tiger was scared by the torment and discussed with Xiao Taohong about letting him take care of the Insect Persons, so she wouldn’t have to come into contact with them.

These Insect Persons were merely two to three-year-old children. They looked at her pitifully, wanting to cry but unable to do so, their mouths filled with tiny insects. The pitiful sight was unbearable, so Xiao Taohong agreed to Little Tiger’s request.

Today, for some reason, Xiao Taohong acted out of character. When Little Tiger’s attention slipped, she sneakily went to see the Insect Persons again.

Xuexue looked at Little Tiger sympathetically and said, "In a while, you’ll have to comfort Xiao Taohong again."

Little Tiger, looking helpless, replied, "She doesn’t need comforting, she just cries there endlessly. It’s only my ears that suffer."

Finally, Little Tiger looked at Xuexue with anticipation and asked, "Master, when will you take these Insect Persons away?"

"Soon, after some time."

"Master, don’t brush me off, when will you really send them away? Xiao Taohong cries every day, the space is almost flooded with her tears."

Xuexue was distressed too; these Insect Persons were living beings. They were so young, before the incident, they couldn’t even speak clearly. Since being used by Zhao Yin as hosts for Gu insects, they’d been tortured beyond recognition.

Now these Insect Persons couldn’t even speak, only knowing how to cry.

If sent out now, death would be the only path since the Emperor and Zhao Yin were searching for them everywhere.

Moreover, Zhao Yin had sacrificed over a hundred children to successfully create only a dozen Insect Persons and wouldn’t give up on finding them easily.

Even if, by some miracle, they were sent back to their parents, their survival wouldn’t last long due to the Gu insects inside them and the constant threat of being recaptured to the Imperial Palace.

So for now, they could only stay hidden until a way to save them was found, to remove all the Gu insects, and then send them home, ensuring their safety.

Xuexue: "Well, I can’t be certain about the exact date, but we need to find a proper arrangement before sending them away."

"Alright then."

Little Tiger had no more options, sitting idly by.

Xuexue had initially planned to go in and practice martial arts, but the entire space was filled with Xiao Taohong’s cries, which she couldn’t stand, so she quickly left the space.

"Miss, wake up!" As Xuexue opened the door, Zi Xia emerged ghost-like.

Xuexue tidied her clothes and said, "It’s too stifling in the mansion, accompany me for a walk outside!"

"But didn’t the Prince instruct us not to go out?"

"He didn’t say we couldn’t go out, just to go out less."

"Is that so?" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Of course."

Xuexue glanced impatiently and asked, "If you don’t want to go out, stay in the mansion."

Having said that, she stepped out.

"Hey, hey, hey! Miss, wait for me, I didn’t say I wasn’t going." Zi Xia quickly chased after her.
