Chapter 186 Cooperation?

Wen Shu's gaze swept past Bai Qiao, then turned to the Queen, and she asked with a smile, "Queen Nyss, did you call me for something?"

Seeing her turn back, Bai Qiao tensed the veins on the back of her hand and sped up the measurement.

Queen Nysse, however, paid no attention to these things.

She smiled at Wen Shu, beckoned her to come closer, and looked at her beautiful eyebrows and eyes with a hint of satisfaction.

"After the Divine Tree Festival, a banquet will be held in the royal city, and all nobles are required to attend."

Queen Niss paused for a few seconds, seemingly waiting for Wen Shu's reaction.

Wen Shu didn't understand what this banquet had to do with her, but she still raised her eyebrows and pretended to be surprised, "Really? It must be very lively. I still remember those divine tree carriages. The Isa Empire is truly awe-inspiring!"

Perhaps the flattery had hit the mark, for Queen Nyss chuckled with delight, took her hand and patted it gently, “Good girl, you must not have a dress that fits you.”

Wen Shu was taken aback by her enthusiasm and was momentarily speechless.

Then, Bai Qiao, who had just finished measuring her waist, was stopped by Queen Nyss.

"Bai Qiao is female, and this is Wen Shu is female. Could you please take her measurements as well?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiao's expression visibly darkened.

Queen Niss, being in a high position, wouldn't care about such things. She held Wen Shu's hand tightly and instructed Bai Qiao, "I'm going to have breakfast first. Wen Shu is my savior, so her dress must be beautiful and elegant."

"Understood, Your Majesty."

Bai Qiao pursed her lips and watched Queen Niss leave. When she turned to look at Wen Shu, the intense resentment she felt yesterday was gone.

Without saying a word, she walked closer with a cold face and pointed to Wen Shu's arm, "Raise it up."

Wen Shu took a closer look at her and noticed that she had dark circles under her eyes and looked much more haggard than yesterday.

Guessing that she might have consulted the priest to confirm who killed her child, Wen Shu looked away, raised her hand to make it easier for her to take measurements, and began to ponder the matter of the tree branches and leaves of the divine tree.

There must be a reason why White Joe is getting close to Queen Nyss.

"you……"

Wen Shu carefully considered her words, preparing to ask a few questions, but Bai Qiao noticed her gaze and interrupted her unhappily, "Don't look at me with that pitying expression. Even if you didn't do it, we're not friends!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Shu abandoned her initial intention to offer words of comfort, pursed her lips slightly, and said directly, "Don't worry, I just wanted to ask what you plan to do?"

Her words were vague, but Bai Qiao immediately realized what she was asking.

Faced with the question of the survival of the beast world, they are ultimately on the same side. If they can clarify some things, they can actually help each other.

But after disliking someone for a long time, Bai Qiao felt really uncomfortable.

She bit her lip, measured Wen Shu's measurements, and then reluctantly said, "Of course we should discuss it with His Majesty. Are we going to just forcibly take it from him?"

This idea is exactly the same as her choice in the original work.

But this is unlikely to work.

However... it can be put to use.

"What if Queen Nyss disagrees? The snow has been falling heavier and heavier lately, we must succeed as soon as possible."

Wen Shu rubbed her fingertips and said directly, "How about this, we can cooperate, you can help me cover for me..."

She took a few steps closer and told Bai Qiao about her theft plan, but after listening, Bai Qiao's eyes widened in disbelief.

"What?" Bai Qiao took a few steps back, and after the initial shock, her face showed deep contempt. "How could you even think of that... You have absolutely no morals!"

Seeing her expression, Wen Shu raised an eyebrow, almost laughing in exasperation, and said, suppressing her temper, "At a time like this, which is more important, morality or the bigger picture? Besides..."

Her words were a bit harsh, and after holding back for a few seconds, seeing Bai Qiao's growing disgust, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "You're so generous with your lectures to me, but why do all these so-called moral requirements disappear when it comes to your beastly husband?"

"He hurt you, and you're still so submissive, thinking he has feelings for you, but you didn't hesitate to pin the blame on me..." Bai Qiao's expression froze halfway through her sentence. She remembered what happened after she went to the priest last night to confirm the truth, and her eyes immediately reddened, tears streaming down her face.

“…Take my advice,” Wen Shu had been wanting to complain for a while, and was in the middle of her rant when she heard the soft sound of water droplets falling. She looked up and met a pair of teary eyes. “Uh, be good to yourself.”

After finishing her dry, monotonous speech, she looked down at Bai Qiao, who was half a head shorter than her. Bai Qiao's nose was red from crying, and she was sobbing and struggling to breathe. She felt completely helpless.

Wen Shu glanced around, then picked up a cloth from the table. "I'm sorry, I went too far..."

Having known her for so long, Bai Qiao only knew that she was good at provoking people, so she was a little surprised to hear her say something so gentle.

Moreover, she was telling the truth.

Even if Wen Shu is a bad person, it's still wrong for her to falsely accuse her just to deceive herself...

Bai Qiao wiped away her tears, grabbed the corner of the cloth, and before she could exert any force, several tall figures walked out of the restaurant. They were Wen Shu's beastly husbands.

Yesterday, the two groups were at loggerheads. If they saw her accepting Wen Shu's comfort, how embarrassing would that be!

"No need!"

She abruptly pulled her hand back, picked up the measuring tools, and was about to leave when she stopped, said "I disagree," and ran straight out of the castle.

Wen Shu wasn't surprised by her resistant attitude, but since she wouldn't help, she could only try to be more careful when stealing.

As she pondered how to carry it out, several tall figures surrounded her from behind, casting her into a long shadow.

"what happens?"

A slightly worried question rang out from above.

Wen Shu turned around, her gaze slowly shifting, taking in the different expressions of the four people, and a smile curled at the corners of her lips.

"We should also talk about our plans for the future."

After resting for two days in Bain City, Yining finished dealing with the priest's affairs and found Wen Shu and his party. Queen Nyss's carriage finally set off to return to the royal city.

With the addition of the Arentia team, the return journey became exceptionally lively.

As Wen Shu's pregnancy progressed, she became increasingly fatigued. Even while nestled in the carriage, she could hear their laughter.

Incidentally, I also heard a lot of gossip.

The most unexpected thing is that Bai Qiao finally made up her mind to break the contract with Craig!
To win back Bai Qiao, Craig had been following the car for a full day and night.

Wen Shu lifted the gauze curtain and peeked out. Instead of feeling excited about witnessing the crematorium, she thought he deserved it.

I hope Bai Qiao can persevere.

For the next half day, she lay in Wu Xuan's arms and slept soundly again.

I thought that when I opened my eyes again, I would be in the royal city.

But fate is unpredictable.

"Sit tight!"

As soon as Wen Shu woke up, she heard a sharp bird cry and saw two anxious faces above her.

Wu Xuan and Luo Fei spread out their robes to protect her, while Mu Xier squatted in front, blocking out the strong wind and leaving only her broad back.

Wen Shu felt uneasy. She opened her mouth, but before she could ask a question, a cold snowflake brushed against her cheek.

Seeing the dew seeping in the cold wind, Wu Xuan tightened his grip on his robe, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. "A-Shu, it's snowing..."
