"Who knows if he cares about me or not? I don't care!" she said, pouting proudly.

"Okay, okay, I don't care."

"What brings you here today?" Only then did the princess remember to ask this question.

Upon hearing that Madam Xu had summoned her, she frowned and said, "What did she ask you to do here? There's too much to do."

Liu Huan dared not agree that there was too much to say, and simply said that she did not know.

The princess continued, "Don't associate with her. Neither of them are good people. I only came to see her once when I was pregnant, brought some tonics, and left. Who cares?"

Once the princess started talking, she went on and on. After a while, she felt thirsty, so Liu Huan gave her some water to drink so she could continue talking.

After describing the Xu residence inside and out, her stomach started rumbling. She touched her lower abdomen and said, "I'm a little hungry."

Just then, Su Wan pushed the door open and came in. "Princess, I made some food. Please try it. My sister-in-law used to have severe morning sickness and she always said it was good."

The princess's mouth watered at the smell of sourness. "Oh my, Sister Su is so kind. No wonder Huanhuan said she's liked you the most since she was little."

"Just listen to her, her favorite thing is stones."

Liu Huan helped her sit down before saying, "My favorite is my sister, and then it's Stone."

Seeing the two of them standing there, the princess insisted that they eat together, otherwise she would not eat.

Su Wan had no choice but to sit down. The maid served the noodles, and the princess took a bite and found it very appetizing. "Wow, I like this sour and spicy flavor."

"Eat up, everyone!" she said, before starting to eat heartily again.

Liu Huan and Su Wan didn't eat much; the princess finished the whole bowl. After finishing, she clutched her stomach and frowned, which startled Su Wan.

"What's wrong with the princess?"

The princess smiled happily: "It's nothing, I'm just a little full. Let's go for a walk to digest."

Seeing that the princess hadn't vomited, Xu Zijing stepped forward and said happily, "Thank you so much, elder sister. Please teach us how to make noodles so we can make them for my wife in the future. I am extremely grateful."

Su Wan generously shared the recipe, and the maid was about to take it to the kitchen when the princess stopped her: "Don't take it away, I want you to make it for me."

The princess handed the recipe to Xu Zijing, looking like she would cry if she didn't agree. Xu Zijing felt helpless and sorry for her, "Okay, I'll make it for you in a bit."

The princess nodded in satisfaction, then pushed him away with obvious disgust: "Hey, stop following us around all the time, go do your own thing."

Seeing how hard she was working, Xu Zijin asked someone to take leave these past few days to stay home and keep her company, but she didn't expect to be disliked.

The princess led them for a stroll in the garden, where they encountered Xu Jiuyan, who was also out for a walk.

Ever since that bickering incident in public, the two of them haven't spoken much, only putting on an act in front of others.

The princess didn't want to talk to her, thinking she would walk away as usual, but unexpectedly she came up to greet her today.

"Sister-in-law, Sister Su, what a coincidence to meet you here."

The princess, too lazy to pretend, said bluntly, "What a coincidence, what are you going to do, little sister?"

Xu Jiuyan wasn't angry. She smiled and said, "I just wanted to see if Sister Su had left yet, so I thought I'd come and see them off."

"Since you're all here, let's go together."

Regardless of whether they wanted it or not, he affectionately took Su Wan's hand and walked beside her, introducing her to the flowers in the garden.

"Sister Su, do you have any you like? If you do, I'll give you one."

Su Wan glanced at it briefly and politely declined, saying, "No need, thank you, Miss Xu."

The princess chuckled, "Oh dear sister, the Su family may be small, but it's not poor. Which ordinary family doesn't have these flowers?"

After strolling around for a while, especially after Xu Jiuyan joined them, the princess felt bored and said she was tired and wanted to go back.

Xu Jiuyan originally wanted to follow, but the princess said, "Sister probably has something else to do, so we'll be leaving now."

Xu Jiuyan, however, shamelessly said, "I'm fine. I'll walk with you guys for a bit and help digest my food."

She knew Su Yi would be here soon, and she didn't want to miss this opportunity.

She then took Su Wan's hand and said, "Let's go, Sister Su."

The princess tugged at Liu Huan's sleeve to signal her to look, rolled her eyes, and muttered, "Hypocritical."

Liu Huan suppressed her laughter and remained silent. On her way back, she encountered Lord Xu and Su Yi, who were returning from their shift. Xu Jiuyan shook off Su Wan's arm and went up to greet them sweetly.

"Dad, Brother Yi," the voice was sweet and cloying.

The princess and Liu Huan bowed to each other, and Lord Xu looked at Liu Huan behind her and said, "Young friend, do you still remember me?"

"Greetings, Lord Xu. It's been so many years, yet you remain as dashing as ever."

Lord Xu waved his hand and said self-deprecatingly, "Alas, I'm getting old. You can come to the manor more often when you have nothing to do. When you and Su Yi get married, remember to invite me for a drink."

Hearing this, Xu Jiuyan was displeased and looked at Master Xu with a mournful expression, "Father, what are you saying?"

Knowing his daughter's thoughts, Lord Xu ignored her for a moment and talked for a while before leaving.

Xu Jiuyan moved closer to Su Yi and asked sweetly, "Brother Yi, have you eaten yet? I'll have someone prepare something."

Su Yi distanced himself from her and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Xu, but I have already eaten."

Xu Jiuyan said in a coquettish voice, "Oh dear, I already told you not to call me Miss Xu anymore. Just call me Jiuyan or Yan'er, it's fine."

Su Yi said seriously, "It's illogical."

It almost made everyone else in the room burst out laughing.

After the princess had watched the commotion to her heart's content, she said, "Huanhuan, you should go back with your stone. Otherwise, you might be bewitched by other demons when you go out later. I won't ask you to see me off."

Liu Huan suppressed a laugh and said, "No rush, I'll take the princess back first."

Su Yi smiled and said, "I'll wait for you here. Go on!"

That was a gentleness that Xu Jiuyan had never seen before.

A surge of jealousy overwhelmed her, and as Liu Huan helped the princess leave, she deliberately lost her footing and bumped into Liu Huan.

If things proceed in order, Liu Huan would definitely knock the princess down. Since the princess has two bodies, this action would undoubtedly be fatal.

Just then, the people nearby were too far away to react. Liu Huan pulled the princess who was about to fall, and fell to the ground beside her. The princess then fell onto Liu Huan's back.

Everyone around was terrified by this action, including the princess. She clutched her lower abdomen, gasped for breath, and remained silent.

Su Yi called to the maid beside him, "Hurry up and call the royal physician."

Several maids rushed to inform their mistress inside the room. Liu Huan got up and, ignoring the pain in her body, knelt down to check on her: "Princess, where are you injured?"

The princess felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. Fearfully, she grabbed Liu Huan's hand and cried out, "Huanhuan, my child, please save my child!"

Ignoring the distinction between men and women, Su Yi scooped up the princess from the ground and said, "Lead the way."

The group ran after them, but Xu Jiuyan was terrified and stood motionless on the ground staring at her hands.
