Chapter 94 Why did you marry into the family and become the principal wife?
"Your Highness is right." Liu Mingyue rolled up the curtain of the carriage window and looked out.
The bright moon hung high in the night sky, and a white figure flashed through Liu Mingyue's mind.
Qin Zhuoyan didn't understand Liu Mingyue's perfunctory response, and continued to sneer: "What I'm talking about is that you and Baihe are from the Zhou Mansion, but your character and appearance are so different. How come you were the one who married into the Zhou Mansion and became the principal wife?"
Liu Mingyue was thinking about things related to Gongzi Yu and ignored Tan Zhuoyan.
Late at night, the only sounds in my ears were the sound of carriage wheels and Tan Zhuoyan's endless sarcasm.
After a few words, Qin Zhuoyan saw that Liu Mingyue was like a wooden man with no expression on her face, and she immediately felt bored. What was the point of staying with a woman like this?
Qin Zhuoyan snorted coldly, leaned against the car with her arms folded across her chest, and was too lazy to say anything more to Liu Mingyue.
The moving carriage slowly stopped, and Liu Mingyue yawned. It seemed that they had returned to the Marquis' Mansion.
Before the coachman rolled up the curtain, the marquis's voice came from outside the carriage.
"Lily? Why did you come out?"
Hearing these words, Qin Zhuoyan opened his eyes, and it was obvious that he was worried about Zhou Baili. However, his legs could not walk, so he could only wait for the guards to push him.
Liu Mingyue glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and for the first time found Qin Zhuoyan a little funny.
The guards quickly helped Tan Zhuoyan get off the carriage. Liu Mingyue was not in a hurry and followed slowly after a while.
As soon as she got out of the carriage, Liu Mingyue saw Madam Hou holding Zhou Baili's hand and talking, "It's a cool autumn night. You just wait in the house. Yan'er will come back and visit you first."
The Marquis's wife doted on Zhou Baili very much, and the Marquis also valued the grandson she was carrying in her belly very much.
"Your mother-in-law is right. The wind at this time of year is most likely to make people catch a cold. Don't get sick."
The Marquis and his wife both advised Zhou Baili to wait inside the house next time instead of standing outside in the draft, lest she catch a cold and hurt the baby in her belly.
"Father, Mother, it's okay. I'll take Lily back to the house." Qin Zhuoyan pushed the wheelchair over. The Marquis and his wife looked at them and smiled at each other.
Ever since she became pregnant, Zhou Baili has been the best treated "master" in the Marquis's Mansion. Although she is just a concubine and a slave, she enjoys treatment better than that of the master, which shows how much the Marquis's Mansion values her.
"I have seen your Highness. I missed the prince so much that I came to the gate of the mansion to wait for your Highness."
Zhou Baili's heart and eyes are full of Tan Zhuoyan. In her eyes, there is no one else except her husband. The Marquis and his wife have always been particularly worried about their son's lifelong affairs because of his disability.
I think it would be better for Qin Zhuoyan to marry someone who only has him in his heart and eyes. Now that I have met Zhou Baili, I feel that with Zhou Baili's attitude, she should be the Crown Prince's Consort.
Liu Mingyue stood at the back like a transparent person, yawned sleepily, and wondered when they would finish talking. If these people didn't come into the house, she would have to stand outside.
The more satisfied the Marquis was with Zhou Baili, the more dissatisfied she was with Liu Mingyue. Looking at Liu Mingyue who was standing behind her as if nothing had happened, the Marquis opened her eyes impatiently. Unfortunately, her son's wife was Liu Mingyue.
But it soon changed. After Zhou Baili gave birth to her eldest son, she found a way to make her son divorce this ugly and useless woman!
"Let's talk inside the mansion. Yan'er is tired after attending the palace banquet today. Go back to your room and take a bath and rest early. Your father and I will go first." The Marquis's wife did not want to disturb the tender love between her son and her 'daughter-in-law', so she went back to her room with the Marquis.
After the group entered the mansion, Zhou Baili walked side by side with Qin Zhuoyan, holding hands. Thanks to a guard following behind and pushing Qin Zhuoyan's wheelchair, the two did not feel awkward.
Liu Mingyue kept a few steps away from the others, walking slowly behind them, looking at Mingyue thoughtfully.
"Today is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and Qinghe Palace must be very lively. Your Highness, have you conveyed my words to my mother?" Zhou Baili shook Qin Zhuoyan's hand coquettishly. The two of them really looked like newlyweds.
"I told Madam Zhou about it after the banquet, and she also told you to take good care of your pregnancy."
Tan Zhuoyan caressed Zhou Baili's wrist, her movements looked intimate and ambiguous. Zhou Baili giggled, turned her head and looked at Liu Mingyue triumphantly, wanting to see the depressed look on her face.
Noticing the other person's gaze, Liu Mingyue looked straight over. Her calm pupils showed no ripples at all. She was too calm. Where was the trace of anger in her?
Arriving at the fork in the road, Liu Mingyue roughly bowed to Qin Zhuoyan and went straight back to her own yard. She was too lazy to pay attention to the tricks of these two people.
Zhou Baili deliberately acted close to Qin Zhuoyan, just to make Liu Mingyue jealous, but she didn't react at all. Zhou Baili's competitive spirit was not satisfied, and she pouted in annoyance.
Tan Zhuoyan raised her hand and placed it on Zhou Baili's abdomen, and asked gently, "Is the child well behaved today? Did he bother you?"
Zhou Baihe is now in her fourth month of pregnancy, but the fetal movement is not obvious.
However, since Qin Zhuoyan asked this, she would of course take advantage of the topic to win the other party's sympathy.
"The baby in my belly is worried about me, so I didn't make a fuss. But I don't have a good appetite. I only ate a few mouthfuls of rice today. I wanted to eat more, but I always vomited it out. It was very uncomfortable."
Zhou Baili's eyes were slightly red, and she was acting coquettishly and complaining under the moonlight. The fun of it was extraordinary.
"The doctor said that it is very difficult for a woman to get pregnant. You have suffered a lot during this period. If you want anything, just tell me and I will ask someone to buy it for you."
Qin Zhuoyan held Zhou Baili's hand with heartache, knowing that being pregnant would not be easy.
"Perhaps the plums from Qingshuangzhai can improve my appetite. Also, the weather is getting colder. I want a fox fur coat. When it snows, I won't be afraid of the cold."
When she was in Zhou's house, Zhou Baili spent money lavishly, and a hundred taels was nothing in her eyes. Now that she was pregnant, she would definitely take this opportunity to ask for something.
The snacks and preserved fruits at Qingshuangzhai were hard to buy, but not too hard. However, a fox fur coat was a little difficult for Tan Zhuoyan. A fox fur coat would cost at least two hundred taels of silver.
For a wealthy family, two hundred taels of silver is neither too much nor too little, but it is still difficult for the Marquis's Mansion to come up with this money.
"Your Highness, am I asking for too much?" Seeing that Tan Zhuoyan did not agree immediately, Zhou Baihe looked at Tan Zhuoyan with some trepidation, "I don't want this fox fur."
She used a good tactic of retreating in order to advance, and when she said this, Qin Zhuoyan really felt sorry for her.
"It's just a fox fur coat. After some time, I will have someone buy it and give it to you." There was a struggle in Qin Zhuoyan's eyes, but she still agreed to Weekend Lily.
