"That's true. Madam Liu and Lord Liu are really in perfect harmony with each other! How did Madam Liu do it?"
"That's right. For all these years, Master Liu has never taken a concubine and has been very considerate to Madam Liu."
"Haha, if you ask me, Madam Liu is still capable and can control Master Liu perfectly! Unlike my man, there are so many concubines in the mansion that I am annoyed to death!"
All of a sudden, the little gossip among the ladies began!
What about which husband has taken a concubine outside, which wife is infertile! Which lady has fallen in love with a poor boy!
Anyway, there is no shortage of gossip among women!
Lin Yuxin listened with great interest, and from time to time she picked up the melons and peanuts on the table and started eating them.
This is her spiritual food to relieve her boredom during this period! ! She must listen carefully.
As time passed, Lord Liu came in from the outer hall with several other adults.
Then Lord Liu began to give his opening remarks, and then the ladies from each family presented gifts to Madam Liu. Madam Liu was extremely happy, as all these gifts were for her.
Then it was time to eat and drink, and some of the rich girls started to put on some performances, trying to stand out and leave a good impression on the ladies present, hoping to find a good marriage.
Lord Liu and Madam Liu were also watching with great joy. However, just when everyone was watching with great joy, they heard a discordant voice:
"This Liu Yongan has single eyelids! But Lord Liu and Madam Liu both have double eyelids! Liu Yongan and Lord Liu don't look alike at all!"
There was silence at the scene, and everyone looked towards the person who was speaking. They saw Lin Yuxin looking at Lord Liu and Liu Yongan with curiosity.
His eyes would occasionally scan back and forth between the two of them, as if they could see through everything, leaving no room for escape.
Lord Liu also looked at Lin Yuxin in surprise, but didn't think much about it, just thought she was joking.
"Princess, you are such a joker. How could my son not look like me?"
"Master Liu, don't mind me. I'm just saying that your son is as beautiful as a flower and looks like Pan An. It's just that Princess Wang is really curious about one thing."
"Look at this, Lord Ling. It's really a bit short. You and Madam Liu are both so tall, so how come your child is so much shorter? Could it be that he inherited the genes of someone else in Lord Liu's family?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Liu’s face changed drastically and she looked at Lin Yuxin in horror. How could she know…?
Lord Liu's smiling face gradually froze. Thinking back to the Liu family, they were indeed all tall. Every member of the Liu family would be no less than seven feet tall (around 1.83 meters), even Mrs. Liu was six feet tall (over 1.7 meters).
But Liu Yongan is only five feet tall (less than 1.6 meters). At first I thought it was because the child was growing slowly and didn't think much about it. But now that Lin Yuxin reminded me of this, I suddenly felt suspicious about everything.
"Indeed, this Mr. Liu not only doesn't look like Mr. Liu, but even his height doesn't look like a member of the Liu family. Could it be that this Mr. Liu is fake?"
"How could this be possible? When Madam Liu was giving birth, so many members of the Liu family were there, how could it be wrong?"
"I don't know about that. But the princess's gossip is never fake. It's all true! Look, Madam Liu's expression is not right! Does she know this?"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Madam Liu. Madam Liu looked nervous and sweat started to break out on her forehead. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she could only pretend to be calm and said with a smile that was uglier than crying:
"Don't talk nonsense, Princess. Yong'an is your husband's child."
"Oh? Really?"
Lin Yuxin raised her eyebrows and glanced at Madam Liu, then looked at Mr. Liu with a sullen face, and it seemed that she began to doubt!
Lin Yuxin didn't say anything after that. She ate quietly. When she was full, she got up and left without any hesitation.
The ladies were left wondering whether they had finished eating the melon or not. Why did the princess leave? They were all upset.
Mrs. Liu's birthday banquet was extremely uncomfortable because of Lin Yuxin's arrival.
Within two days, word spread that Lord Liu wanted to divorce his wife, and he also removed his son from the family tree and drove him out of the Liu Mansion.
All the ladies present at the time only finished eating the whole melon at this moment. Madam Liu was so surprised that she was not really Lord Liu.
Moreover, Madam Liu still has trysts with her lover until now. She said that she was caught in the act. It turns out that the man really has single eyelids and is only six feet tall. Liu Yongan looks very much like her.
That man was Madam Liu's cousin from her mother's side. They had been childhood sweethearts. Madam Liu married him for the sake of the family, but she couldn't bear to part with her childhood sweetheart, and that childhood sweetheart had secretly hooked up with her several times, so she fell for him.
The two had been secretly having an affair for so many years that they even had a child, but it was just Master Liu who was blamed.
Lord Liu has such a miserable life, the child is not his own, and his wife is having an affair with someone else, so he is now left alone!
For a while, the capital was full of discussions, and people were almost fed up with all the gossip during this period!
The culprit was leisurely counting her piggy bank at home.
After the counting was finished, Lin Yuxin asked Xueying to go out and buy what she needed.
For a month after the incident, Lin Yuxin didn't go anywhere and just stayed in the palace to deal with her things. During this month, only Li Xiaochen wrote her a letter after he arrived in Jibei City.
After that, she never received any letter from Li Xiaochen again, but Lin Yuxin could often hear news from the border.
Qi lost many warriors, Beijiang used poison, which put Xia in a desperate situation. Li Xiaochen led his soldiers to resist with all their might.
For a while, the fighting on the border intensified.
Lin Yuxin was extremely anxious when she heard the news at home, but she couldn't go.
So she could only find a way to deliver supplies to the front line.
She produced a lot of food, medicinal herbs, horse fodder, and the grenades and smoke bombs she made this month.
I also changed a lot of clothes. Although it is already mid-April and the temperature is not very cold, it is hard to fight. If you get injured, you can't wear the clothes anymore, and they are also consumables.
After Lin Yuxin was fully prepared, she went straight into the palace and cried to the emperor, asking him to pay two hundred thousand taels of silver and send his own special forces to deliver it.
Her people have all been sent to the battlefield, why are your people still enjoying themselves in the capital?
So the next day, someone came and escorted supplies towards Jebuk City.
Lie Yan received a secret letter from Wang Yu, saying that Li Xiaochen was trying very hard to protect her fiefdom, Jibei City, and wanted the princess to write a letter to persuade her.
Lin Yuxin didn't write a letter, but she couldn't let Li Xiaochen fight alone, so she wanted to do a good job of logistics.
Three months passed in a blink of an eye, and Lin Yuxin's belly grew bigger. She didn't dare to go out to eat melons, for fear of being eaten!
So he moved directly to the Lin Mansion.
The midwife and wet nurse also moved there.
