"Sister, what are you saying? I like it very much. I thank you on behalf of my unborn child. I will definitely use this quilt every day from now on." Su thought that since her sister would make things for the child in her womb, it meant that she still regarded her as a sister, and she was very happy.
"Sister, how have you been feeling these past few days? The baby is due soon, so you need to be extra careful!" Madam Gao said with concern.
"I'm fine physically, but the weather has been changing so fast these past few days that many people in the manor have fallen ill. I'm a little worried that it might affect the baby in my womb." Thinking of the sick Granny Liu, Madam Su was concerned about her condition.
Madam Gao then reminded her that it would be better for her to stay in her room and recuperate rather than go out recently. The two chatted in Qiushui Pavilion for a while before Madam Gao went back.
"Xiao Mu, put this quilt away. We can use it after the baby is born," said Madam Su.
"Yes. Princess, should we take this quilt to Liu Momo to take a look?" Xiao Mu asked.
“It’s just a quilt, not food. What would you do with it? Momo is sick, so let’s not bother her. Besides, there’s nothing to worry about with things that Xiyue sent,” said Madam Su.
The little girl seemed to want to say something, but ultimately said nothing.
Meanwhile, Lady Gao and her maid walked in the garden, not in a hurry to go back, and sat in a pavilion.
"Princess, you seem unhappy?" Jinling said.
“After all, Su Lufu and I have a sisterly bond because we entered the manor together through the imperial concubine selection. Now that things have to be done this way, I still feel a little guilty,” said Madam Gao.
“Princess, Consort Su is gentle by nature. She is pregnant with the Prince’s first child, which has already displeased the Fujin (Prince’s wife). Even if you don’t intervene, I’m afraid the Fujin won’t tolerate it. If you do this, the child will simply be lost, and Consort Su will be unharmed. If the Fujin were to intervene herself, it’s hard to say whether Consort Su’s life would be spared. So, Princess, there’s no need to feel guilty. What you’re doing might not be a bad thing for Consort Su. Once you become a secondary Fujin, you can protect her a bit more,” Jinling said.
After hearing what she said, Madam Gao felt much better. "You're right. Sister Su shouldn't have had this child. I'm doing this for her own good."
After erasing her guilt, Gao helped Jinling back to Langyue Pavilion.
What they didn't know was that while they were saying those words, a maid was picking crabapple blossoms.
Hearing such a private conversation, the young maid naturally dared not keep it to herself.
"What did you say? Did you hear them say that clearly?" A'Luo asked, staring at the maid.
"Yes, I heard it clearly," the little maid replied. It turned out that she was a maid in the east courtyard. It just so happened that Xueying wanted to see the crabapple blossoms, so A'luo asked her to pick some to put in a vase.
“Come with me, and go repeat what they said to the concubine again,” A’luo said.
The maidservant recounted what she had overheard to Xueying.
Xueying asked Alu to give her some pastries and fruits, and then withdrew.
"Master, we don't know what kind of tricks Princess Gao has played on Princess Su. Should we go and take a look?" A'Luo said.
“Sister Su has just reconciled with Madam Gao, but it seems that Madam Gao is not sincere. She even shamelessly claims that she is doing it for Su’s own good. I’m just afraid that if I speak rashly, Sister Su may not believe me and may even misunderstand,” Xueying said.
