"Get up quickly, your belly is showing!" Lanqin hurriedly went to help you up.
Lanqin followed Irgen into the house. Lanqin carefully examined the furnishings, and then looked at the charcoal fire and the incense in the incense burner.
"Consort, are you worried that someone will harm me?" Irgen asked.
“You always have to be careful! Now that you’re pregnant, you need to be careful about what you put in your mouth! You can’t be too careful about what you eat! I just saw that the snow outside your door hadn’t been cleared. If you slipped and fell, the consequences would be unimaginable!” Lanqin said.
Lady Irgen nodded; she now understood her place in Hongshi's heart. Although he disliked Ulanara Shuzhen, he would abandon her for her side whenever the Fujin (Prince Consort) exerted pressure. Lady Irgen now understood this as well. Although she was disappointed in Hongshi, there was nothing she could do; she had already married him and was pregnant.
Lanqin asked her about her diet and gave her special instructions on what to eat before returning to the South Courtyard.
Meanwhile, news of Lanqin's visit to Lady Irgen had already reached the ears of the Fujin (the wife of the deceased).
"Aunt, why did she suddenly go to see Lady Irgen?" Shuzhen was talking with the Fujin when she heard someone report this.
“Niohuru has always been unpredictable. Is she trying to oppose me again? Hmph, she’s meddling a bit too much,” the Fujin said.
"Aunt, I have done as you instructed and had the servants deliberately forget to sweep the snow in front of her door. She indeed swallowed her anger and didn't say anything!" Shuzhen said. It turned out that she had bribed the servants who were responsible for cleaning the courtyard every day, ordering them not to sweep the area in front of the Irgen family's door.
“She’s gentle by nature; once we find her weakness, we can manipulate her at will! Right now, what Irgen cares about most is the child. She knows Hongshi’s temperament, so naturally she won’t do anything until the child is safely born! We should take advantage of this period to trip her up a bit,” the Fujin said. “Ideally, she’d slip and fall, and lose the child!”
“Aunt, we must find a way to get rid of her child as soon as possible, otherwise she might give birth to the eldest son of the master!” Shuzhen said.
"What's there to be afraid of? It's hard to say whether she'll raise the child well, and besides, she's still several months pregnant!" the Fujin said. "How is Hongshi treating you now? I've noticed he's still very protective of Irgen, especially now that she has a child!"
"Master has always doted on her!" Shuzhen said sourly, "but he knew he couldn't disappoint his aunt, so he went to my place!"
"How dare you say that? Don't you have the ability to keep his heart?" the Fujin said.
Shuzhen's face fell when her aunt said that, and she said aggrievedly, "I've tried everything, but Master just doesn't seem to care!"
The wife was too lazy to say anything more; she knew that this was not a flavor that men liked.
"Go back and continue to serve Hongshi well, and be as sweet as honey to Irgen! Don't let her become suspicious of you!" the Fujin instructed. For the sake of her own future, she shared her experience as a mistress with Shuzhen and tried her best to create opportunities for Shuzhen, but the final result still depended on Shuzhen herself.
"Yes, I understand! Then I'll take my leave." Shuzhen stood up and curtsied to the Fujin.
