Xie Ruyu is already married. She has been married to Duan Cheng for four years and has a son and a daughter.
The oldest is only three years old, and the youngest is still in swaddling clothes.
Now that she is a mother, she has become much calmer than the sharp-tongued but soft-hearted girl she was back then.
Duan Cheng received an imperial decree at the beginning of the year to leave Beijing for a new post. At that time, Xie Ruyu was pregnant and could not accompany him.
Now that the child was born, his small body was not suited to the hard work of traveling, and Xie Ruyu was worried about the child, so the couple were separated.
Since Xie Wanning returned to Beijing at the end of last year, the two sisters have met often.
Later, Xie Ruyu's health deteriorated and she went to the palace less often.
A few months ago, when Xie Wan Ning got the news that her cousin was about to give birth, she went to the Duan family in person.
The queen's personal presence gave the Duan family enough face.
Duan Cheng was blessed with a son, but he was not in the capital, which was a small regret.
Several people entered the hall and chatted about family matters for a while.
They were all concerned about whether Xie Wan Ning's pregnancy was safe and sound. After learning that the baby was surviving well, they told her interesting stories about their own pregnancies in the past.
It is always the first child that is the most thrilling.
Thinking of her daughter fleeing far away when she was pregnant with her grandson, Zheng was afraid again. "I don't know where you got the courage to be so brave as a girl. You lived in the open air with a big belly and suffered a lot. Fortunately, Ran'er knew how to love her mother and didn't torture you."
"I didn't suffer much," Xie Wan Ning said with a grin, "Brother is here, and I have you to watch over me."
Her most difficult days were the month she traveled from the north to Bianzhou.
But at that time I was so tired from the journey that I didn’t feel that I was suffering that much.
After arriving in Bianzhou, she met Chen Xier. The two sisters supported each other and her life became stable.
Although I was inevitably anxious when I found out I was pregnant, the anxiety didn't last long because I met my brother.
With her brother around, she didn't have to worry about anything and returned to her carefree life in the boudoir.
When she gave birth, her brother was away, so if something happened to her, the child would not be left alone.
Therefore, Xie Wan Ning believed that she had never suffered any hardship.
Zheng knew how her children reunited. Her eldest son doted on her youngest daughter. Upon hearing this, she nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "God loves you and doesn't want you to suffer, so he sent your brother to look after you."
Speaking of Xie Yanyu, the old mother couldn't help but worry again.
"Your brother..." Zheng hesitated, "It seems to me that your brother has someone he loves."
"Really?" Xie Wan Ning was originally leaning on the soft chair eating grapes peeled by the maid. Upon hearing this, she sat up and asked, "Whose girl is this?"
Zheng was shocked. "You are a pregnant woman. The baby was not firmly seated in the first three months. You can't be so startled."
"Oh, I know," Xie Wan Ning held her mother's hand, "Mother, tell me quickly, which girl is this?"
"Whose girl could it be?" Xie Ruyu, who was standing by, obviously knew the inside story and said with a smile, "Over the years, my eldest cousin has only been close to one girl from another family."
Xie Yanyu was a man who attached great importance to rules. He seemed gentle as jade, but in fact he was cold and indifferent. Except for his younger sister, he kept his distance from all other girls.
Even though the people there were open-minded and a few more words wouldn't mean anything, he was like a snowflake blooming on a high mountain, very unkind.
At this moment, I heard what Xie Ruyu said.
A person suddenly appeared in front of Xie Wan Ning.
Then he took a breath and said, "No way."
