"Since even Fourth Master doesn't come to visit us, we don't have the chance!"

With her red lips slightly pursed, Princess Fucha muttered softly, "Now that Princess Su is pregnant, it's inconvenient for her to serve us. We thought we had a chance, but Fourth Master is still staying in Huatang Pavilion. Doesn't he feel tormented?"

In fact, not only were they puzzled, but even Lady Fucha couldn't understand it. She always thought that Hongli liked Su Yushan because of her beautiful appearance and that he was attracted to her beauty.

Su Yushan came from Suzhou and was a beautiful woman as graceful as water. It was only natural that she could win Hongli's heart. However, now that she was pregnant, she could no longer be close to him. Logically speaking, Hongli should have sought another beautiful woman, but he did not look for other maids, which was really incomprehensible.

Despite her incomprehension, Lady Fucha, as the matriarch of the household, still had to make a statement: "Fourth Master is our master. Where he wants to go is his business, and we must not discuss it in private."

Seeing the solemn expression on the Fujin's face, both Consort Gao and Consort Fucha dared not speak recklessly and lowered their heads, saying, "It was we who overstepped our bounds."

As a woman herself, Lady Fucha naturally understood their sorrow, so she softened her tone and said, "I understand how you feel. I will try to persuade the Fourth Prince when I have time."

Whether the Fourth Prince would listen to their advice was still uncertain, but the words of the Princess Consort gave them a glimmer of hope. They only hoped that the Princess Consort could persuade the Fourth Prince so that they could have a chance to serve him.

To be honest, Hongli's days have been quite difficult lately. He had already endured more than two months of hardship, and after Su Yushan returned, she became pregnant, making it inconvenient for them to have sex. Although she had tried to help him a few times in other ways, it was ultimately just wishful thinking and didn't work.

She's been resting during her pregnancy lately, so he doesn't dare to bother her and can only endure it. The result of this is that he's developed two pimples on his forehead and chin.

Lady Fucha saw this, but she couldn't openly advise him. If she brought it up, Hongli would definitely choke her, and she didn't want to be scolded for it.

After much deliberation, Lady Fucha decided to visit Su Yushan at Huatang Pavilion.

Upon learning of the arrival of the Fujin (principal wife), Su Yushan hurriedly rose and asked Changyue to help her change her clothes. At this moment, Lady Fucha entered the room and smiled as she advised:

"Sister, don't panic. We're family, no need for formalities. If you're not feeling well, just lie down. Don't worry about these empty gestures."

The princess said she didn't care, but Su Yushan still felt it was inappropriate to lie down. There was no time to get dressed, so she could only put on her jacket and lean against the curtain to reply.

"Thank you for your concern, Madam. I've been resting for a few days and I'm feeling better. I still have occasional abdominal pain, but it's not as severe as before."

"That's good," Fucha said with a gentle smile. "Now that you are pregnant, you have to be careful with everything you do. The Fourth Prince loves you, but you need to be careful during this special time. The Fourth Prince is young and vigorous, and I'm afraid he might not be able to control himself and hurt you and the child."

She hadn't met the Fujin (the wife of the deceased) many times and wasn't very familiar with her. When the Fujin suddenly brought this up with her, Su Yushan blushed instantly, feeling extremely embarrassed.

“You’re overthinking it, Madam. Fourth Prince… he knows what’s good for him. He didn’t… he didn’t touch me. He’s just resting here.”

"It's good that there isn't one. After all, having offspring is the most important thing. We can put other things aside for now. There's plenty of time. There's no need to rush."

The wife's words were loaded with meaning, and Su Yushan felt quite embarrassed, unsure how to respond, so she could only nod in agreement.

Taking advantage of the situation, Lady Fucha continued, "You know that Fourth Master is young and vigorous. If he keeps suppressing his feelings, it will easily harm his health. He listens to you the most, so you should persuade him to go and visit the other maids. Don't let him suffer from any illness from suppressing his feelings."
