"Oh my goodness! Slow down, slow down! You're about to become a mother, why are you still so reckless?"
Zhao Hanyue was no longer the dignified and virtuous woman she used to be. When she saw Lin Yuxin running, she was so frightened that she took a few steps forward to greet her, her mouth full of words of heartache.
"Oh my! My Xin Xin is finally back! How come she's lost so much weight? She must have suffered so much!"
Upon closer inspection, he immediately noticed how thin Lin Yuxin had become, his eyes filled with heartache and reddening. He even glared at Li Xiaochen, convinced that it was his fault for not taking good care of her.
But they didn't say anything to him on the spot! Even if they had opinions, they wouldn't speak ill of him in public, after all, he was still a prince.
Li Xiaochen: "...?"
What does it mean to feel wronged?
"Mother, we'll talk about it when we get back!"
Looking at the crowd of onlookers, Lin Yuxin felt that this was not a good place to talk, so she indicated that she would go home and discuss it later.
Zhao Hanyue understood, so she could only suppress her worries and heartache, and bow to Cheng Tinghao, who was standing next to Lin Yuxin, along with her son and daughter-in-law.
"Greetings, Ninth Prince!"
Although Cheng Tinghao had lived in the Lin residence for a period of time before, he had now regained his status and could no longer be treated in the same way as before.
"Madam Lin, Lord Lin, you may dispense with the formalities!"
Cheng Tinghao didn't try to curry favor, but simply nodded and said to them.
"Ninth Prince, Your Highness, the Emperor is still waiting for you in the palace. He says he has important matters to discuss."
At this moment, Eunuch Liu walked over, bowed to Li Xiaochen and Cheng Tinghao, and then quickly spoke.
"I understand!"
Li Xiaochen nodded, then said to Lin Yuxin and Zhao Hanyue:
"Mother, Xin Xin, shall I escort you back to the Lin residence? I entrust Xin Xin to your care for a while, and I will come to pick her up after I leave the palace?"
Li Xiaochen knew that Xin Xin hadn't seen her mother for so long and must have a lot to talk about with her mother-in-law, so he simply let Xin Xin stay at the Lin residence a little longer!
"Okay, but you don't need to see us off. Just go straight to the palace with Xiao Hao. There might be something important going on, so don't delay us. Mother and I will go back on our own. Don't worry, our eldest and third brothers are here!"
Lin Yuxin was overjoyed to hear that she could return to the Lin residence and urged Li Xiaochen to hurry up and enter the palace.
"Alright! Don't tire yourself out! Mother, eldest brother and sister-in-law, third brother, see you later!"
Seeing his wife's eagerness to get rid of him, Li Xiaochen chuckled but still reminded her not to meet with her family and chat too late.
"Okay, okay!!"
Lin Yuxin immediately waved her hand and said she understood.
Li Xiaochen then mounted his horse, gestured to the Lin family, and led Cheng Tinghao directly into the palace with Eunuch Liu.
Seeing him leave, Lin Yuxin happily pulled Zhao Hanyue towards the city gate.
"Let's go home!!"
Only after returning to the Lin residence did Lin Yuxin feel safe.
"Ah! I, Hu Hansan, have returned!"
Lin Yuxin stood in the yard, looking at her familiar home, and happily shouted out as she stretched out her arms.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're about to become a mother, and you're still acting so improperly. Go inside and rest for a while!"
Zhao Hanyue was startled by Lin Yuxin, glared at the girl with annoyance, and scolded her.
"Mother, I just missed home. I've finally come back, shouldn't I spend more time with you?"
Lin Yuxin, with a playful smile, took Zhao Hanyue's arm and walked towards the hall.
After everyone sat down, Zhao Hanyue couldn't help but ask first with concern:
"Xin Xin! How did you get so thin? Did you not eat well? Or did Xiao Chen bully you?"
Lin Shixiao: ...Is he afraid that Lin Yuxin is bullying the prince? Didn't you see how obedient the prince is to his sister?
"I want to cry whenever my mother talks about this, Mother... Waaaaah! Pregnancy is so hard!! Waaaaah!"
Lin Yuxin always felt aggrieved whenever this topic came up, and seeing her mother now made her even more upset, and she started to cry.
"Waaah... I throw up everything I eat! I even throw up in the carriage, it's so awful! Ugh!!"
Lin Yuxin almost choked on her saliva while crying!
Zhao Hanyue's eyes also reddened with heartache. Her daughter was such a strong person. She had hardly ever seen her daughter cry since she came back. This was the first time she had seen her cry so heartbreakingly.
Pregnancy is already hard for women, and if your daughter is crying like this, it's clear that this pregnancy must have been extremely difficult for her.
Upon thinking of this, Zhao Hanyue couldn't hold back her tears, hugged Lin Yuxin tightly, and then cried along with her.
"Waaah, my Xin Xin! You've suffered so much. It's alright, it's alright, it's good that you're back. Now that you're back, your mother is here. I'll make sure you get some good nourishment."
Zhao Hanyue hugged her with a pained expression, patted her back, and comforted her.
Her two older brothers and sister-in-law sat beside her, watching her cry with concern. They tried to comfort her for a long time, but to no avail.
It wasn't until Lin Yuxin's emotions had calmed down a bit that she stopped crying.
Lin Yuxin realized that everyone was looking at her with concern, and then she came to her senses. She had just cried again. Waaah, how embarrassing!
Lin Yuxin felt like crying again, but this time she held back and looked at everyone with an embarrassed expression, saying:
"I don't know why, but after getting pregnant with this child, my emotions became very unstable. I often cried. Ever since I started the journey back to Beijing, I've been vomiting. I ate and vomited the whole way. Later, Lieyan bought me some sour plums, which helped me eat a little bit."
"But I'm still vomiting a lot. Ah Chen said I'm suffering terribly during this pregnancy!"
