"Alright, Mother, if we're meant to be, we'll find the right one."
Lin Shixiao didn't care. He wouldn't get married if he couldn't find someone he liked. His eldest brother was already in the family to carry on the family line, so he wasn't in a hurry.
"You! Forget it, I'm not going to bother with you anymore. I need to go to the storeroom and get more fabric. Xin Xin is pregnant now, and Qing Xue is pregnant too. I need to hurry up and make clothes for the babies. I don't have time to take care of you."
Even though Zhao Hanyue was anxious, she knew that this matter couldn't be rushed! Her reputation was already ruined, and what good girl would want to walk into this fire pit?
So she got up and told the servants to go to the storeroom to find the best fabric.
Ji Qingxue found it amusing to watch her mother-in-law's hurried and energetic demeanor.
Lin Shixiao chuckled as he watched his mother's retreating figure. It was good that she had something to do, so she wouldn't be upset about his affairs. Then he turned and respectfully thanked Ji Qingxue.
"Sister-in-law, thank you for taking care of my mother during this time."
Because of the rumors surrounding him and the attitude of the Grand Secretary's family, he knew that although his mother was outwardly very angry, he had asked his mother's personal nanny about it behind her back.
The nanny said that her mother would cry until midnight every night, feeling very guilty. She felt that she had been blinded by greed and agreed to marry a beast like Lin Xiong'an, which had now ruined his reputation.
He didn't want his mother to be too sad, but he couldn't find a way to help. His younger sister, who was always cheerful, wasn't around either. Only his sister-in-law kept his mother company during that time.
A few days ago, my sister-in-law was diagnosed with pregnancy, and only then did my mother finally get over it. She's been busy taking care of my sister-in-law and preparing things for her future nephew, and hasn't had time to look after him.
This relieved him.
"Look at what you're saying. Now that I've married into the Lin family and married your elder brother, we're family. Naturally, I'll treat my mother-in-law like my own mother. You don't need to say such formal things to me in the future!"
A rare seriousness appeared on Ji Qingxue's gentle face as she looked at her uncle and said disapprovingly.
"Alright, brother, you're being too polite. Sister-in-law, please don't take it to heart. I have to go back to work. Please tell Mother I'll be leaving now!"
Lin Shixiao clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ji Qingxue and said.
"Okay, go ahead!"
Ji Qingxue nodded and smiled.
...
"Ah Chen, I'm dying, waaaaah!"
Lin Yuxin tugged at Li Xiaochen's sleeve, crying weakly and pitifully as she spoke.
"No, no! Don't talk nonsense."
Li Xiaochen held Lin Yuxin's hand tenderly, not allowing her to talk nonsense.
"That's right, my sister will definitely be alright!"
Cheng Tinghao also looked at Lin Yuxin with a worried expression.
It's no wonder Lin Yuxin was making a fuss. For some reason, ever since they set off, Lin Yuxin had been vomiting. She would vomit everything she ate, and even when she was in the carriage, she would vomit so badly that she felt dizzy and disoriented.
Lin Yuxin, who was already thin, has become even thinner after vomiting for the past few days.
Li Xiaochen and Cheng Tinghao were heartbroken. With the border of Zhao Kingdom about to be crossed, Li Xiaochen had no choice but to find a small town to stop and let Lin Yuxin catch her breath.
Lin Yuxin, a doctor herself, was unable to alleviate these symptoms, which made her extremely frustrated.
She vomited the whole way. Every time she felt nauseous, she would eat the things in her spatial storage, but it would only relieve the symptoms for a while. When the time came, she would vomit violently again.
Nothing in the space worked, so after vomiting for several days in a row, Lin Yuxin finally couldn't hold back anymore and cried miserably.
"Your Highness, I just bought you some pickled plums. Eating something sour might help you. I've heard that some pregnant women find these sour things very helpful when they feel nauseous! Would you like to try them?"
Lie Yan opened a wrapped paper package and placed it in front of Lin Yuxin, saying with concern.
Lieyan wasn't married and didn't know much about these things. While he was shopping, a woman whose family also had a pregnant woman said that when her daughter-in-law was vomiting the most, eating sour plums would help.
She quickly bought some and brought them back for the princess to try. She wondered why the princess's pregnancy was so troublesome; it was truly a hardship for the princess.
Look how much trouble the princess has gone through; Lie Yan felt very sorry for her.
"Waaah...uh...I...I'll try!"
Lin Yuxin's tear stains were still wet. After hesitating for a moment, she reached out and picked up a sour plum from the table and put it in her mouth.
After chewing a couple of times, the sour taste instantly filled her mouth, which greatly reduced Lin Yuxin's acid reflux.
Huh! It's alright!
Lin Yuxin blinked, forgot about crying, and then stuffed another one into her mouth.
The nausea had subsided considerably, and she looked at Lie Yan with gratitude.
"Lieyan, thank you so much! I feel much better!"
"It's good that I can help the princess!"
Lie Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Yuxin was finally able to eat.
"Xin Xin, you've suffered too much while carrying this brat. When he's born, I'll have to teach him a lesson."
Seeing Lin Yuxin eating happily, Li Xiaochen felt a little relieved from his worries of the past few days. He couldn't help but look at Lin Yuxin's stomach and frowned as he spoke.
"That's right, now that we're out, I've packed everything up too."
Cheng Tinghao completely agreed with Li Xiaochen's words. This child was causing too much trouble for his sister. As her uncle, he would definitely have to give him a beating first.
"Don't talk nonsense. Be careful he hears you and starts going against you."
Lin Yuxin found it amusing when she heard the two men talking about disciplining her son. They weren't even out yet, and they were already at odds?
"So what if I heard it? Am I afraid of him?"
Li Xiaochen didn't care at all. Anyone who dared to make his Xin Xin suffer like this deserved to be beaten.
"What if it's a daughter? Would you be willing to do that?"
Lin Yuxin's eyes darted around! She leaned closer and asked.
"...?"
