The couple took Su Yun'an to the Magpie Bridge on West Street.
Su Yun'an became excited upon seeing the Magpie Bridge: "Did you bring me here to eat wontons, sister?"
Su Xuening smiled and said, "During my pregnancy, your brother-in-law often secretly brought me here to eat wontons, so I thought I should bring you here too."
Su Yun'an instantly understood what Su Xuening meant by "secretly." She guessed that her sister and brother-in-law had secretly returned to Beijing after they fell asleep.
However, it's quite a long journey to get back to Kyoto from the western suburbs!
"Thank you for your hard work, brother-in-law." Su Yun'an looked at Xuan Yuanzhan gratefully.
My brother-in-law is really good to my sister. He can tell that he truly loves her, and my sister is very happy after marrying him.
Xuanyuan Zhan smiled and patted his head: "Alright, get out of the car."
The three of them got off the carriage together and saw the wonton stall on the other side of the Magpie Bridge.
"It's really here. I thought it was long gone." Su Yun'an looked at the familiar wonton stall in front of him, feeling a little envious.
He hasn't been here in a really long time.
It's been at least three years; he hasn't been here since his father passed away.
The wonton stall owner was taken aback when he saw Xuan Yuanzhan supporting the heavily pregnant Su Xuening: "Miss, you..."
The young lady is pregnant. When did this happen?
Judging by her belly, she's obviously several months along; she's probably about to give birth!
He hadn't noticed it when they came to eat wontons before.
Su Xuening smiled shyly and said, "I'm pregnant."
The wonton stall owner nodded blankly. He naturally knew she was pregnant. If he couldn't tell, wouldn't he be a fool?
Are you pregnant with twins?
Su Xuening touched her belly and said, "It shouldn't be. I wasn't showing much before, but in the last two months, my belly started to swell up like crazy."
The wonton stall owner was stunned. It seemed that they hadn't come for two months. No wonder he hadn't noticed before.
The wonton stall owner saw Su Yun'an again, and immediately recognized him when he saw his face, which was exactly the same as Su Xuening's: "This must be your younger brother. It's been years since you've been here. You've grown so tall."
Su Xuening smiled and looked at Su Yun'an: "Yes, children grow up quickly."
"Please sit down, please sit down. I'll cook you some wontons."
The wonton stall owner greeted them while cooking wontons for them.
Soon, three bowls of wontons were served.
Knowing that Su Xuening was pregnant, the stall owner specially cooked extra food for them, increasing the portion size in each bowl: "Eat slowly, I'll cook more for you if you're not full."
"Thanks."
Su Yun'an thanked the stall owner and then tried the wontons.
It was that familiar taste again, and Su Yun'an thought of her father once more, her eyes instantly reddening.
Su Xuening knew that Su Yun'an missed her father, and she wanted to comfort her, but suddenly realized that anything she said at this moment seemed so pale.
Whether my father died on the battlefield or was killed by Su Huiyan and Su Renyi, he is no longer here.
No matter how much she said or how much she comforted him, she couldn't make up for Yun'an's pain at losing her father.
Xuanyuan Zhan glanced at the saddened siblings and also chose to remain silent.
He didn't seem to have any good words to comfort them.
His father died before he was born, and he had never met him, so he had no feelings for him and could not empathize with him.
Moreover, Xuanyuan Peng was also in his life. Although Xuanyuan Peng was indecisive and lacked courage and strategy, he truly doted on Bai Fuya and was also very fond of him. He had experienced fatherly love with Xuanyuan Peng, so he could not understand the pain of losing their father, and therefore had no right to say those comforting words.
The three of them just kept eating their wontons in silence.
"Boss, give me a bowl of wontons."
Suddenly, a familiar voice caught Su Xuening's attention.
Su Xuening had her back to the wonton stall, and the familiar voice made her hesitant to turn around.
At this moment, Xuan Yuanzhan noticed Su Xuening's unusual behavior: "What's wrong?"
Su Xuening gave Xuan Yuanzhan a look, and although Xuan Yuanzhan didn't understand what was wrong with Su Xuening, he immediately fell silent.
Su Yun'an also noticed Su Xuening's unusual behavior and curiously glanced at the stall owner.
Su Yun'an was facing the wonton stall, and from his angle, he could see the woman who came to buy wontons.
Even though the woman was masked and looked furtive, Su Yun'an recognized her at a glance as Zi Shu, who had been by Su Feiling's side before.
Didn't Su Feiling go to the palace? Zi Shu should have gone to the palace with her, so why is she here?
Seeing Zi Shu's large pregnant belly again, Su Yun'an was once again quite shocked.
Logically speaking, Zi Shu was a palace maid, so how could she get pregnant?
Whose child is she carrying?
Such a big belly, it looks even bigger than my sister's belly!
Zi Shu was completely oblivious to Su Xuening and the others at that moment. She kept her eyes down, as if she was afraid that others would see her face.
Fortunately, the wonton vendor was quick and soon cooked a bowl of wontons, which he then served into the large bowl that Zi Shu had brought.
Zi Shu paid the money and left with the wontons.
Su Yun'an knew from Su Xuening's expression that they couldn't be discovered by Zi Shu, so when Zi Shu turned around, he also covered his face with his sleeve.
Ke Zishu kept her eyes down the whole time and didn't dare to look around, so she didn't notice Su Xuening and the others at all.
"Ye Xue." As soon as Zi Shu left, Su Xuening called out to Ye Xue.
"Your Highness," Ye Xue bowed.
The wonton stall owner was startled by Ye Xue's sudden appearance, especially by the way she addressed him.
"Follow that woman and see where she lives."
"Yes," Ye Xue replied, and then disappeared again.
The wonton stall owner blinked. If he weren't perfectly lucid, he would have wondered if he was dreaming.
How could someone suddenly appear and then suddenly disappear?
When the stall owner came to his senses, he realized that Su Xuening and Xuan Yuanzhan were not ordinary people. With a "plop", he knelt down in front of Su Xuening and the others: "Your Highness, I was blind and did not recognize your greatness. Please forgive me."
Su Xuening originally did not want to reveal her identity, but she was in a hurry just now and was afraid that Zi Shu, whom she had finally found, would run away, so she immediately called Ye Xue out.
"Does that woman often come here to buy wontons?"
Upon hearing this, the stall owner immediately shook his head: "That lady only started coming here recently; I've never seen her before. She doesn't come often, maybe once every ten days or so."
Su Xuening narrowed her eyes: "When was the first time you came here?"
The stall owner thought for a moment and said, "About two or three months ago, when she came, her belly wasn't showing yet. It's only in the last two months that I've noticed her belly getting bigger."
He had initially thought she was a girl, but it was only when he saw her growing belly that he realized she was a married woman.
Two or three months ago, the report from the informant in Xuanyuan Zhan's palace was similar to what she had heard; she must have come here right after leaving the palace.
Do you know where she lives?
