Han Luoxue smiled helplessly, while Liu Xu was also very happy:
"Madam, Miss, shall we do it tomorrow?"
Seeing the men nod, the little girl thanked them and hurried off to work.
This house has only just been occupied; there's so much to tidy up.
That night, Han Luoxue had just lain down when someone came in through the door.
No one knocked on the door, and no one heard the maid's voice.
A look of surprise flashed in Han Luoxue's eyes; she had indeed seen the man she had been longing for.
"Xue'er".
When Han Yuchen saw her, he quickly walked over, hugged Han Luoxue tightly, and said softly, "How are you? Are you settling in alright?"
He hasn't been able to come over these past two days, and I'm very worried.
"They were very good; they took great care of us."
Han Luoxue nestled in his arms and chuckled softly:
"What happened? You seem to be in a good mood?"
Han Yuchen chuckled: "You can see through everything."
This girl is too sensitive. Han Yuchen recounted the Crown Prince's affair and his plans.
"Brother Chen, you're so naughty."
The Crown Prince probably hates Han Yuchen to death right now, but Han Yuchen doesn't care at all; their relationship is one of irreconcilable conflict.
Ironically, the person in the palace still wants them to get along harmoniously. Doesn't he even consider what the Crown Prince did to her in the past?
He was certain that if he didn't fight or compete, the first thing the crown prince would do after ascending the throne would be to kill him.
"Brother Chen, don't be sad for this kind of person."
Han Luoxue knew Han Yuchen's kindness, but some people simply didn't deserve it.
"Just pushing him off the cliff might not necessarily kill him."
Han Luoxue looked at Han Yuchen with deep concern:
"You've all made such a fuss, and if you don't nip it in the bud, I'm worried..."
"Don't worry, he can't pull any tricks."
"Xue'er, if he dies like this, it will be a relief for him, a good thing for him. I hope he's tougher and doesn't die so easily."
Han Yuchen's eyes turned cold, and Han Luoxue understood in her heart that death was nothing compared to the greatest torment a person could suffer.
"Then let fate decide."
Han Yuchen nodded and placed his hand on Han Luoxue's stomach:
"How have you been these past few days? Have they been behaving well?"
"I'm a good girl, don't worry. There are so many people here watching over me, nothing will happen."
"Oh, by the way, Sister Zhou is having a..."
Han Luoxue explained their plans, and Han Yuchen didn't object. Han Luoxue would eventually integrate into the Beijing circle, so it would be good for her to interact with them more now.
The only pity is that Han Luoxue cannot reveal her identity yet.
Her gaze fell on her belly; she wondered when the little one would finally emerge.
Han Yuchen also talked a lot about the imperial court, and Han Luoxue listened with a smile until very late.
When I woke up the next day, Han Yuchen was already gone.
On the bed, the other half was no longer warm. Han Luoxue stretched, feeling that this sleep was even less relaxing than during the day.
Backaches and sore waists, who isn't tired during pregnancy? She remembered reading that it was okay at the beginning, but the pregnant woman would get really tired when she was about to give birth.
"Madam, the young lady wants you to go there as soon as possible."
Upon hearing the noise, the two maids hurried over to serve them.
Han Luoxue was a little unaccustomed to it; she was used to doing her own washing and grooming.
Han Luoxue hadn't left yet when Du Linlang came over, wanting to go with her.
Han Luoxue loaded all the products onto the carriage and rode directly to the Du family's carriage.
Zhou Jie invited the people in her mother's name. Among those who came were not only unmarried young ladies, but also many wives of the household.
Han Luoxue was a little surprised. Are all the women in the capital so enthusiastic?
"Xue'er, are you surprised?"
Zhou Jie smiled smugly and whispered, "This is all thanks to you."
"I?"
Seeing Han Luoxue's unusually confused expression, Zhou Jie's smile widened: "That's right, it's all thanks to you. You provide our family with grain, vegetables, fruits, and so on. The Zhou family's shops are well-known in the capital. If the Zhou family has a banquet, do you think they wouldn't come?"
"Besides, as I mentioned in the post, it's something that was just developed to make women more beautiful. Look at these, madam..."
Zhou Jie pointed to those elegant and graceful women and sighed:
"Don't be fooled by their glamorous appearances. Every household has its share of troubles, and they all have quite a few concubines."
"They are getting old, managing the entire family, yet they don't receive the husband's favor, while those concubines, those disreputable and low-class women, dress up beautifully every day and are the most favored by their husbands. Do you think they can be happy about that?"
"Now that they're told they can become beautiful, they'll definitely come."
Han Luoxue was speechless at these words.
That's just how men are.
Zhou Jie sighed, then suddenly remembered something and quickly added, "Except for my cousin."
Han Luoxue smiled; she trusted Han Yuchen.
But what if one day Han Yuchen also takes a concubine? What will she do? Will she have to share her husband with many women?
I'm sorry, she can't do it; she thinks it's dirty.
She will leave, taking the child, far away from here. She has space; she won't starve anywhere.
Why is she here?
Zhou Jie's expression suddenly changed, and her voice was filled with displeasure.
Han Luoxue followed her gaze and saw a familiar figure.
"Mengyao?"
The Crown Princess? She's here again? Han Luoxue was also surprised.
"Xue'er, I didn't send them any invitations."
The group that arrived included not only Mengyao, but also a middle-aged woman and a young woman who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old.
"That's Mengyao's mother, and the other one should be her half-sister."
Zhou Jie explained, and Han Luoxue nodded; she hadn't considered contacting them.
Mengyao clearly didn't think so; she led the two of them over:
"Zhou Jie, I've come uninvited. You don't mind, do you?"
Zhou Jie: Now that you're here, in front of so many people, do you think I'd kick you out if I minded?
This person is truly shameless.
"Who are you……"
Mengyao's gaze fell on Han Luoxue. Today, Han Luoxue was not wearing her usual coarse cloth clothes. She was wearing a light purple silk embroidered fluffy dress. The dress was of good quality and the workmanship was obviously excellent.
Has this country girl struck it rich?
"Princess."
Han Luoxue nodded to her. A flash of surprise crossed Mengyao's eyes, and she looked at Han Luoxue with disdain, chuckling lightly:
"Miss Han, this dress is nice. Did Zhou Jie give it to you because she no longer wanted to wear it?"
These words drew surprised looks from those nearby.
Although the Zhou family's banquet wasn't particularly important, in this situation, who would wear clothes that no one else had worn? It would be incredibly embarrassing.
So, does this mean the Crown Princess has a grudge against this woman?
"Crown Princess, what do you mean?"
