Ye Xiaoxiao frowned and thought, not noticing that everyone in the Ye family was listening attentively to her thoughts.
Ye Fan knew that Ye Pengcheng and Qin Chuan had told each other that the Ye family was planning to join the prince.
Seeing Ye Xiaoxiao in trouble, Ye Fan stepped forward considerately.
"Don't worry, Daddy told Uncle about Prince Yu and the Crown Prince before he left."
"I'm sure that with my grandfather and uncle's connections and foresight, they won't let Qin Lei mess around."
"It's impossible for Xinxin to win over the Duke's Mansion by winning over Qin Lei."
"Also, although cousin Qin Lei appears unlearned and unskilled on the surface, he is actually very intelligent."
"Your Majesty is old and very suspicious of many ministers. Qin Lei just wants to use his lack of knowledge to make His Majesty feel more at ease about the Qin family."
Ye Xiaoxiao was a little skeptical, but she wasn't too worried now.
Dugu Xin has been gone for a few days now, and the herbs are almost here. I'm sure Shangguan Lingyun will send back news soon.
[Next, I will just wait for the birth with peace of mind. I just don’t know what problems I will encounter during the birth.]
When she thought of the two heart-protecting pills the system gave her, she felt a little uneasy.
However, although the system has some problems, the pills given are all good, so there shouldn't be too many problems.
When everyone heard her say there would be problems during childbirth, they immediately became nervous.
Mrs. Ye, in particular, was determined to carefully check the Ye Mansion inside and out.
The three brothers of the Ye family also paid more attention, especially Ye Sheng. He decided to send more people to keep an eye on the Ye family after he returned.
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't know that everyone in the Ye family had become nervous because of her voice.
Seeing that everyone had finished chatting, Ye Xiaoxiao ordered everyone to leave.
"It's getting late today. Mother and my brothers still have a lot of things to do tomorrow, so there's no need to accompany Xiaoxiao."
Seeing this, everyone did not stay any longer and walked towards the front yard.
But when they left Ye Xiaoxiao's side courtyard, Mrs. Ye immediately called her three sons.
"You all heard it. Xiaoxiao said the birth wouldn't be too smooth. We must not let her have any accidents."
"Tomorrow, mother will be responsible for inspecting all areas of the Ye Mansion. Sheng'er, you are well-informed. Send someone to screen everyone in the mansion."
"Especially the maids and midwives who delivered babies. Check their backgrounds again."
"And Xinxin's place..."
Speaking of Ye Xinxin, Mrs. Ye paused for a moment, but continued.
"Fan'er, go to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow and tell your uncle and grandfather about Xiaoxiao's feelings indirectly."
"Ask them to keep an eye on Lei'er. If that doesn't work, just keep him at home for a while."
"And Chang'er, don't be idle either. Publicize the news of the free porridge and medicine distribution."
"Let the world know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the one who truly cares about the people."
The three sons of the Ye family did not object. In fact, they thought more about it than Mrs. Ye.
So the three of them agreed and went back to their rooms.
The next morning, Ye Xiaoxiao heard some noisy noises in the front yard and suddenly felt confused.
"Tianxuan, what happened in the front yard?"
Tianxuan immediately stepped forward and replied, "Miss, it's Madam who is checking the servants in the mansion."
"Why did mother suddenly start questioning the servants?"
Tianxuan was also a little puzzled. "I heard that there was a maid who was dishonest and took money from food, causing many people to have stomach problems."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, "No wonder, but I do need to pay attention to the food issue."
"You should also be more careful with the dishes brought back from the main kitchen during this period."
Tianxuan agreed, and Ye Xiaoxiao said no more and lived a leisurely life.
It's just that she is leisurely while others are extremely busy.
Although Shangguan Yu was worried about his condition, since he had already promised the Yuan family, he naturally had to marry her.
So, when the epidemic was almost under control, Shangguan Yu went to Shangguandu and asked the people from the Imperial Observatory to choose a date for him.
It was not known whether the Imperial Observatory accepted the gift from Shangguan Yu or the Yuan family, but it actually gave a date of ten days later.
Although it was a bit hasty, neither side objected, so Shangguan Du didn't say much.
When Ye Xinxin heard the wedding date was set, she became even more anxious.
"Qiuping, how's it going? Did you notice Qin Lei went out?"
Qiu Ping shook her head. "Miss, I tried to send you invitations several times, but they were rejected by the concierge every time."
"They said that Young Master Qin did something wrong a while ago, angered the old Duke, and was punished by being grounded."
Ye Xinxin was so anxious, "Why are you grounded at this time of the year?"
"In ten days, that bitch Yuan Xuemei will be joining the family. If I can't win over the Qin family for the prince, I'm afraid she'll ride on my head."
"No, if you keep guarding him, I don't believe Qin Lei will be so obedient and stay under house arrest."
Qin Lei was also feeling very sad at the moment. For no reason, his grandfather and father both punished him by grounding him to the house.
That would be fine, but they didn't even give him a reason to punish him.
Qin Lei thought about it and realized that the only time he was scolded by his grandfather recently was because he met Ye Xinxin.
Thinking of his grandfather's praise for Ye Xiaoxiao, Qin Lei suddenly had a guess in his mind.
In order to verify this guess, Qin Lei wanted to go to his grandfather to find out.
However, as soon as he walked out of the room, he saw a servant coming to him in a panic.
