He stepped on the pastry that had rolled onto the ground, crushing it instantly.

When Hu Qinqin saw this scene, she felt as if her heart had been trampled on.

"Miss, are you alright?"

The maid standing to the side saw Hu Qinqin fall onto the bench, clutching her chest with one hand, and hurriedly went forward to ask her what was wrong.

Hu Qinqin just shook her head blankly and didn't say anything.

Could it be that, as she suspected, the mastermind behind this was not Hongxiu, but her father? Otherwise, why would her father protect Hongxiu so much?

It turned out that Hu Qinqin had sent someone to the location Li Youran had mentioned, but the place was empty and they had not found Hongxiu.

Hu Qinqin refused to give up and sent people to continue the search, but the prime minister stopped her.

Hu Qinqin naively believed that Hongxiu was behind this, and that her father kept Hongxiu around for so long because he doted on her.

But judging from her father's current stance, it's not just preventing her from finding Hongxiu, but also hindering her dedication to the case.

What was the real cause of my mother's death, and who did it to her?

Hu Qinqin gripped the chair tightly, staring intently at the departing figure of the Prime Minister.

"Sixth Princess, after you go back, continue to exercise according to the method I told you. I will give you a follow-up examination in seven days."

Feng Heng said this while washing his hands.

Meanwhile, the sixth princess had already dressed and sat up from the bed.

"Dr. Feng, don't worry, I will definitely train strictly as you said."

The Sixth Princess was in a great mood. She had never imagined that her defect could be cured, so she looked at Feng Heng with gratitude and continued.

"I will send someone to deliver the consultation fee to His Highness the Second Prince's residence later."

"No need."

As Feng Heng wiped his hands, he looked at the Sixth Princess and continued speaking.

"If the Sixth Princess truly wishes to express her gratitude, then she should thank the Princess."

"That's natural."

The Sixth Princess's view of Li Youran is no longer hostile as it was when they first met; now it is filled with gratitude.

"Qianqian, I really want to marry you as soon as possible, but my brother's wedding hasn't been held yet, so how can we hold our wedding first?"

As Feng Yun spoke, she looked at Jiang Qianqian with a dejected expression and continued.

"The Empress went to the Emperor to ask for a date for the engagement, but for some reason, the Emperor said that it would be better to wait until he finished dealing with the Fourth Prince's affairs."

Jiang Qianqian blushed, pulled her hand away from Feng Yun's, and then said to Feng Yun in a sweet voice.

"Since your elder brother and You Ran's wedding hasn't taken place yet, then there's no rush for our own affairs."

As Jiang Qianqian spoke, she looked at Feng Yun and continued.

"The Fourth Prince's wedding will be held in two days. Let's meet again on the day of the Fourth Prince's wedding."

After Jiang Qianqian finished speaking, she turned to leave.

Because she was really afraid of being discovered, she met with Feng Yun secretly.

Although the two are already engaged, it is really not proper for them to be alone together like this before the wedding.

"Qianqian, don't worry, I will definitely urge my elder brother to marry the princess as soon as possible."

Knowing Jiang Qianqian's temperament, Feng Yun didn't try to stop her. He watched her get into the carriage and then said with a firm expression.

"I didn't expect my sister-in-law to give birth so quickly. There was a rush, and we didn't have time to prepare anything. Please forgive us, brother and sister-in-law."

As Li Youran spoke, she handed over a pair of gold bracelets, as well as some children's clothes and accessories.

"Little sister, you've already put in a lot of effort, how could your brother possibly dislike it?"

As Li Haoran spoke, he took the things Li Youran brought him, then looked at the child next to Zhou Yingying with a smile.

"This baby weighed eight pounds at birth, which is a very joyous occasion."

Li Youran also looked at the baby in the swaddling clothes. She saw that the baby was chubby and healthy, unlike the malnourished babies she had seen before.

"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law."

Li Youran said with a smile, her eyes full of sincerity. She genuinely believed that Zhou Yingying had had a really tough time.

If she had given birth to a small, thin child, she wouldn't have suffered so much. But this child is chubby and healthy, fair-skinned and plump, so he must have suffered a lot during childbirth.

"Every woman has to go through this sooner or later."

Zhou Yingying said very weakly.

Her gaze toward Li Youran was full of apology, but Li Youran was focused on the child and didn't notice Zhou Yingying's look at all.

"Let your auntie hug you quickly."

As Zhou Ying spoke, she had Li Haoran pick up the child and hand him to Li Youran.

"Our father named him Dazhuang. He said the child is strong and healthy, and he hopes he will be safe and healthy in the future."

"Dazhuang is a good name, Dazhuang is a good name." Li Youran said as she called the child her name.

"Haoran, go check if the chicken soup in the pot is ready yet. I'm a little hungry."

Zhou Yingying forced herself to sit up in bed and, propping herself up, spoke to Li Haoran.

Li Haoran was in a great mood after the birth of his big, healthy son. When he heard his wife say she was hungry, he hurriedly went to the kitchen.

"You Ran, do you know that something happened to Wang Xiangyu?"

After Li Haoran left, Zhou Yingying said to Li Youran.

Clearly, she deliberately sent Li Haoran away.

What happened to Wang Xiangyu?

As Li Youran spoke, she placed the child on the bed, her face full of confusion.
