Mingyu knew that she couldn't stop Ulanara Xueying's identity, and she understood that it was only a matter of time before they consummated their marriage. She just didn't expect that when it actually happened, her heart would ache so much and her jealousy would be so intense.
However, seeing Hongli so humbled, she couldn't help but feel moved, but this incident later became a thorn in her side that she could never get rid of.
“Hongli, I want a legitimate son. You know I’ve always loved children. Besides, I also want to leave a record of our love,” Mingyu said softly, taking Hongli’s hand.
When Hongli saw that Mingyu had forgiven him, he was overjoyed. He still comforted her, saying, "Mingyu, of course it's good. Now that Su is pregnant, it's not appropriate for her to serve you anymore. I will come to you every day from now on."
Mingyu's face brightened a little when she heard Hongli say that. "Really? But I really feel insecure right now, Hongli. I don't know when you'll suddenly leave me. If we have a child, at least he'll be by my side!"
Seeing the pained expression on Mingyu's face, Hongli felt a pang of heartache. "Mingyu, I won't. I will only love you in this life. I will come to you every day from now on. I will only go to the Gao family once or twice a month. Don't worry about me."
Hearing that Hongli hadn't mentioned Ulanara Xueying at all, it seemed that she held no place in Hongli's heart, and Mingyu's mood improved a little.
“Hongli, I just want you to know that everything I did was because I love you very much,” Mingyu said.
From then on, Hongli never went to see Xueying again. Even if they bumped into each other on the street, Hongli would treat her coldly. At first, seeing Hongli walk past her like a stranger caused her unbearable pain. Later, she gradually got used to it; it was simply returning to her initial state. Besides… the heart isn't made of iron; it can become numb!
Hongli did indeed keep his promise. He would only visit Madam Gao once or twice occasionally. Madam Su was pregnant, and each time he visited her, he would give her some instructions and then leave. He never stayed overnight at her place. He spent most of his time with Mingyu. However, sometimes, the exquisite face of the woman who had been lying next to him that day would suddenly flash through his mind.
Xueying and Su Shi's relationship remained as good as ever. After all, they shared a sense of sympathy and mutual understanding, and their personalities and interests were similar, so they had more in common.
Gao had always treated Su as her sister, and now that Su was pregnant, she needed to win her over even more, as she might need Su's help in the future. However, she recently discovered that Su and Ulanara Xueying were getting too close, which made her a little angry, so she didn't visit Su for several days.
After staying cooped up in her room for several days, Madam Su went out to the courtyard to enjoy the scenery. "Mei Ruo, go and get me some plums to eat." Since becoming pregnant, she had been craving sour foods, and the plums Xue Ying brought were just what she needed.
Xiao Huan came out of the room. "Princess, the plums are all gone." Madam Su is craving sourness now, and she definitely can't not eat them. She's been staying indoors for so long these past few days, it's time for her to go out for a walk. "Mei Ruo, go and prepare, we'll go to the East Courtyard to see the Consort later." It's been a long time since she had a heart-to-heart talk with Xue Ying, it's time to pay her a visit.
