Chapter 246 Uncle, come and listen.
Everyone else was fine even though they weren't favored, but she was the exception.
As her name suggests, Madam Hao was a kind-hearted woman who spoke the truth: "I don't know. Maybe she hasn't been with the Prince for long. Now that she's with the Prince, she should be able to get pregnant soon."
Madam Hao's child was adopted, not the prince's child, nor her biological child. She was at most a slightly higher-ranking servant, so she had a very stable mindset.
Whom the prince favors is none of her business.
Hearing this, Madam Li felt a pang of jealousy and said sarcastically, "With her figure and such a thin waist, she probably can't have children."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a knocking sound came from the car wall.
"Ladies, my wife has brought over some hot soup."
The visitor was Green Ivy, who served Madam Lin.
Madam Li, who had just been speaking ill of someone, felt a sudden pang of anxiety. Had they been overheard? She quickly gave her maid a meaningful look.
The maid peeked out and said, "Oh, it's Sister Green Ivy. Thank you for your kindness, but my mistress has already gone to bed."
Green Ivy smiled knowingly, "Then give it to Mrs. Hao."
"Madam Hao has also gone to sleep."
The carriage curtain was lowered, and Madam Hao hesitated, wanting to speak but then stopping herself. She wanted to drink it. The soup that Madam Lin had brought was delicious.
Madam Li lowered her voice, "It's so hot, why drink hot soup! Aren't you afraid of getting heat rash? When the carriage stops, fetch me some cold water. I want to boil water to make tea."
Madam Hao fell silent upon hearing this.
Green Ivy took the soup back to report.
"Since you're not going to drink, then I will." Lin Suyi didn't force her and let Green Ivy put it down so she could drink with her.
“Madam, why be so kind to them?” said Ling Gu, who was standing nearby.
She was an old servant who had served Prince Jing, and she knew the situation of these women very well; they were just decorations in the background.
In her opinion, Madam Lin didn't need to pay attention to these ladies who were all talk and no action.
"They're all women, so why should I target them?"
Lin Suyi recalled what King Jing had said and felt that these women had it tough too.
"Madam is just too kind-hearted," Aunt Ling sighed.
Indeed, with such a pure heart, it's no wonder the prince entrusted her with protecting him.
"Is Jingzhou just ahead?" Lin Suyi lifted the carriage curtain to look out.
"Yes, madam."
"I'll be able to see her soon." Lin Suyi smiled slightly, leaving the two people beside her stunned.
Green Ivy spoke up, "Does Madam miss the Prince? The Prince must miss Madam too."
Lin Suyi did not offer an explanation.
Before entering Jingzhou City, the carriage stopped to rest for an hour.
In that one hour, Madam Li had her maid fetch water so she could personally boil it and make tea.
"This tea should be brewed with water that is half-boiled, otherwise the taste will not be good. If it is too cold, it will not open properly, and if it is too hot, it will damage the tea leaves."
Mrs. Hao complimented, "Mrs. Li is much more knowledgeable."
Madam Li was in a good mood, knowing she would soon see her family. "Someone, bring a cup to each of the ladies."
After drinking the tea, the carriage started moving again.
Before they even entered the city, Madam Li began to have stomach pains.
...
...
"Did you miss me, little girl?"
After beating up Li Shijie, Chu Xiujie looked at Da Ya with a smile, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Wow, the little bean sprouts have grown taller too."
Before, Da Ya was thin and small, but in the past two years, she has grown up and become a pretty little girl.
"You lecherous scoundrel." Da Ya frowned.
Chu Xiujie chuckled, "How did I become a lecher? I even stood up for you. Here, I met this guy on the way and thought he would suit you."
As he spoke, he handed over a fan-shaped jacket.
“This… I can’t accept it.” Daya was also surprised.
Chu Xiujie said nonchalantly, "Your father and I are good friends. You should call me uncle. What's wrong with giving you something?"
"Thank you, Young Master Chu." Daya didn't hesitate and went to accept it.
Chu Xiujie suddenly raised it a little higher, "Call me Uncle and let me hear it."
Daya smiled slightly, "Uncle, let's listen."
"Okay, I called."
Chu Xiujie choked: ...
Are you going to go back on your word?
Looking at Da Ya, who was up to his shoulder, Chu Xiujie touched his nose and handed the jacket to Da Ya.
Da Ya took it and went to find Ye Wan. "Mother, this was given to me by Young Master Chu."
Ye Wan was talking to Lin Anyuan when she heard this and said, "You can keep it and play with it."
After saying that, he continued to ask Lin Anyuan, "I heard that the wife of Prince Jing is going to pass through Jingzhou. Will Madam Lin also be coming?"
"When Madam Lin arrives, I want to cook for her myself."
Ye Wanxin was really looking forward to it, but then she heard that Madam Lin didn't get off the carriage and went straight to the capital, while the other ladies all came.
Among them, Madam Qing's daughter came straight to Ye Wan.
They immediately said they weren't used to other places and needed to stay somewhere else.
Ye Wan said with a fake smile, "Princess, you are of noble status. It would be disrespectful for you to stay in our house."
"I don't think I'm being neglectful. Mrs. Lin, please tell me whether I can stay here or not."
What could Ye Wan say? This was her superior's daughter. She instructed the servants, "Clean up the west courtyard for the princess to live in."
Murong Wan'er asked, "Why won't you let me stay in the courtyard?"
She's a guest; how can she stay in the west courtyard?
Ye Wan smiled and said, "Princess, I'm sorry, the guest quarters are already occupied."
"Alright then." Murong Wan'er settled in without further ado and turned to leave.
She was exhausted from the journey.
As a result, I almost bumped into someone when I passed by the guesthouse.
"Who are you?" Murong Wan'er frowned as she looked at the man.
Are you blind? I almost bumped into her.
Ge Chen hurriedly bowed, "This humble subject, Ge Chen, greets the Princess."
He had just heard from the servants that Princess Murong had moved in, and he was just about to tell Madam Lin that he was leaving when he unexpectedly ran into her.
"Yes, no need for formalities."
Murong Wan'er found the man to be reasonably pleasing to the eye, so she wasn't angry and turned away.
Ge Chen went to find Ye Wan, but found no one there; Ye Wan had gone back to her room to rest.
Inside the room, Ye Wan was combing her hair.
Huigu said, "Madam, please have Master move out for the time being."
Ye Wan put down her fan. "Are you afraid that the princess has come with ill intentions?"
"That's not true. The master is a male guest, and the princess is a female guest, so it's best to avoid meeting her as much as possible." That was exactly what Huigu meant.
Lin Anyuan was so handsome that women sometimes get so fixated on a single thing that they would throw themselves into it like moths to a flame, even if the other person was already married.
"Then I'll do as you say."
Ye Wan told Lin Anyuan about this, and Lin Anyuan's face darkened.
"Doesn't she have anywhere to live? Why does she insist on staying at our house and trying to send me away? I'm not going! Tell her to leave!"
After saying that, she hugged Ye Wan with a wronged look on her face.
Ye Wan couldn't help but laugh, "Are you a child? Why are you so clingy?"
"Wanwan, I can never get enough of you no matter how much I pester you."
Lin Anyuan didn't want to go.
However, the next day he received an order from Prince Jing to escort Lady Lin.
It takes about half a day to travel from Jingzhou to Shangjing by fast horse, but it takes two days by carriage.
Lin Anyuan left in a hurry.
Madam Li has arrived.
