Pampered By All In Different Planes-Chapter 330: After Disguising Herself as a Man, the Rabbit Spirit Ran Away with a Baby in Her Womb 40

In Changqi’s mind, he had always believed that Su Zhiruan was a man.

This belief had never changed in his heart. Even when Feng Qing took a liking to her, Changqi simply thought that Feng Qing had suddenly started liking men and never once doubted Su Zhiruan.

The old woman saw his expression drastically change, the indifference of moments ago disintegrating into nothing, his entire being akin to a soul lost. Therefore, she picked up the umbrella, extended it back to Changqi, and asked with trepidation, "You... don’t know about your wife’s pregnancy?"

The heavy rain poured down, hiding any minute sound within the noise of the rainfall. At this moment, no one could hear clearly, see Changqi’s expression, or feel the tumult inside his heart.

He was like a bird strayed from its flock, like a barren wheat field.

It seemed like a long while before the old woman heard his voice again.

Carrying dryness, hoarseness, it lacked its original tone.

"...I didn’t know, she is a woman."

"Ah?!" Now it was the old woman’s turn to be baffled. She extended her weathered hand to scratch her head, never even in her dreams having considered this possibility, "My lord, you didn’t know your wife was a woman??"

"Mhm."

At this moment, both Changqi and the old woman fell into silence.

But only Changqi knew, the thoughts that had been hidden away, begging to be released, stifled at heart, now all had a reasonable explanation.

She is a woman.

Su Zhiruan is a woman.

If that was the case, why did she tell him she was a man, and that she already had a wife and children waiting for him at home?

After a ludicrous yet lucid dream he had when he was intoxicated, why did he subconsciously feel it was her?

He had searched the entire Divine Palace and couldn’t find the woman from that night, and she had a perfect alibi.

And why did she flee from his side, leaving without saying goodbye? She had planned thoroughly, it seemed she had schemed comprehensively long before—she wanted to leave all along!

The old person before him reported that she was already pregnant, and she, being a woman, was in a rush to leave without saying goodbye, to depart from his side.

In Changqi’s heart, these clues slowly linked into a complete event.

—Su Zhiruan was the woman he had been with that night, and it was that same night she conceived their child!

When this conclusion surfaced in Changqi’s mind, his entire body began to tremble slightly.

"My lord... My lord?" The old woman beckoned, having lived in the Human World for a very long time, seen all sorts of people, and though she was initially slightly shocked that the divine being didn’t know his own wife was a woman, she quickly regained her composure, "You... have you descended to search for your wife this time? A day in the heavens is like a year on earth, for this old one to have the fortune to meet a god once is a gift from the heavens, let alone to see you again."

Gods do not often descend to the mortal realm, except to experience trials.

For someone like Changqi to reveal his identity and then shortly reappear in the Human World was practically unheard of.

"I am here to find her," Changqi said, holding onto the umbrella, looking towards the dim sky, his voice becoming weary, "The child in her belly is mine, I will definitely find my wife and child."

The old woman moved her lips, wanting to say something more, but when she looked up again, she found Changqi already walking ten yards away, his silhouette, at that moment, seemed very desolate.

It seems, even gods cannot escape the entanglements of love, the old woman thought, shaking her head. She called out loudly with a strong voice, "My lord, follow your heart, and find your wife and child soon!"

In the rain, the divine being paused his steps, hearing her call out.

*

This was Changqi’s second time entering Su Zhiruan’s room.

Having searched in vain in the Human World, he returned to the Divine Palace, hoping to find some clues in the room where Su Zhiruan had lived.

When Changqi pushed the door open, he saw a room simply furnished and tidied very neatly.

Since his first impression of Su Zhiruan, he had thought him to be a very clean person, and that feeling was confirmed when he last invisibly entered the room.

But now, knowing that she was a woman, as he entered her room again, his mood had changed.

"Your Highness..."

Footsteps followed from behind. Without turning, Changqi knew who it was.

"Where did Xiaosu go?" The old butler’s vision had been failing lately. When he learned of Su Zhiruan’s sudden disappearance, he was initially in disbelief, feeling it was impossible. Yet as days passed without her appearance, the old butler became deeply distressed.

He had lived his entire life childless, serving in Changqi Palace, and when the young Su Zhiruan suddenly appeared, he treated him as his own child. Now he felt the indescribable sadness of a parent whose child is lost.

"She has left with the child," Changqi picked up a box from the stark table, looked inside, and was stunned to find the jade bracelet he once gave her.

After hearing his words, the butler was shocked. His hands and feet clumsy, he stuttered, "Child? She left with the child? What child?!"

Changqi looked at the jade bracelet, his spirits plummeting to the depths. He had not expected Su Zhiruan to leave behind even this, and he began to open the other boxes on the table one after another.

Inside were various treasures he had awarded her, including ginseng and Lingzhi as well as other usual rewards.

——She took nothing with her.

Changqi felt a blockage in his heart.

Like a heavy stone clutching at his throat, making it hard to breathe.

The old butler was still immersed in the subject of the child, stubbornly waiting for Changqi’s response.

"Heh, you don’t know either." Seeing the butler’s expression, Changqi could tell he was also unaware.

With that thought, his mood grew even gloomier, and he explained the situation, "Su Zhiruan is a woman."

"Ah?!" The butler was startled, his mouth agape, "A woman? How is that possible?!"

"She is pregnant with my child, and now she’s nowhere to be found." Changqi stared at the boxes on the table, neatly arranged as they were, all his rewards, she had returned exactly as they were handed to her, "She took nothing with her, wanted nothing, why? She didn’t even intend to let us know about any of it from the start."

The butler felt his mind grappling with a storm, "Xiaosu is a woman, bearing Your Highness’s child. Perhaps she was afraid of Your Highness’s punishment, so —" Noticing the especially dark look on Changqi’s face, he tactfully stopped speaking.

"Your Highness, let’s go to the Rabbit Clan!" The butler lifted his gaze to Changqi, voicing his suggestion, "She is of the Rabbit Clan; if pregnant, she’d likely return home. You could also confirm if Xiaosu is indeed a woman. The Rabbit Clan, being her family, should know quite a lot. I beseech you to inquire there."

Changqi nodded.

As they stepped outside the room, everything inside was left undisturbed, with the lids closed and put back in place.

The butler had thought Changqi would store all these treasures in his spatial realm, but to his surprise, he left them there, alongside Su Zhiruan.

"Your Highness, aren’t you taking these with you?" the butler asked Changqi, puzzled by the items left on the table.

Changqi clenched his fist, "One day, she’ll come back obediently, and then stay by my side."

As he spoke, a breeze blew through.

When the old butler opened his eyes again, he found that Changqi had already left.
