It was not until Xiaoqiao called her softly that she raised her head and suddenly laughed: "I really didn't expect it. I originally thought that they were just rebelling, but I didn't expect that this branch was the authentic son of the late emperor. The empress dowager is so ridiculous that she mistook her own son. That Xie Wan'er also had calculations. No matter what, although her status is lowly, her son is the supreme one in the world..."
Xiaoqiao looked at her blankly: "Miss, what are you talking about?"
"You don't understand. Let me tell you. I asked my parents to investigate the Crown Prince's affairs for me, but found out that the so-called guilty ministers were nothing but a lie. Dongfang Run was the real grandson of the previous emperor, and the current emperor was just a side branch who got the throne through conspiracy. So the so-called uprising was just them wanting to take back their rights! But they were punished and deprived of their dignity. In the end, they became a laughing stock. Speaking of which, this matter is really..."
Xiaoqiao was dumbfounded when she heard this: "Miss, this matter is over. The Queen even personally welcomed the Prince back to the capital. I think she has given him enough honor and glory. People won't laugh at us. Besides, just look at this courtyard. It's so rich..."
"You are such a child. You are happy just by being given a piece of candy. You don't know what this yard is. Compared with the mountains and rivers, it is just a mustard seed compared to the ocean..."
Xiaoqiao said "oh" and she didn't know what to say.
"I didn't expect that my parents were so quick to find out so quickly..." Zhong Min'er stroked her waist and asked Xiao Qiao, "You also heard what Dongfang Xin said today. He now regards me as an enemy. When he grows up and inherits the Shouwang Mansion, will there still be a place for me and my child? Will we have a good life?"
"He is a child, maybe someone else taught him."
"Yes, someone taught him this since he was young, but when he grew up, he didn't know what was going on." Zhong Min'er said coldly, leaning back and sighing, "You've also seen Lou Wanyue. She looks like a lady from a wealthy family, but she thinks everyone else is from a humble family. She doesn't bother to argue with me, and I don't bother to compare with her either..."
Xiaoqiao didn't say anything.
She didn't know how to comfort the young lady.
After Zhong Min'er's nagging, she seemed to feel much better, and a smile appeared on her face: "I really want to fight hard to see what the eldest daughter of the Lou family is capable of!"
Xiaoqiao only felt a chill on her back. She didn't know what the young lady was going to do next, so she could only pick up the cold ashes in the copper basin and bury them in the flowerpot.
the next day.
At breakfast time, Dongfang Run was eating in his study. Zhong Miner walked in. Xiaoqiao was holding a tray. Zhong Miner smiled and said, "Husband, I got up early and made golden silk cakes. I remember you loved to eat them the most..."
Xiaoqiao put the tray on the table. The cakes on the white jade plate were golden and lovely, with strands of cake as thin as hair. A fragrance wafted through the air. Dongfang Run stretched out his chopsticks and picked up one: "You sit down too..."
Zhong Min'er was delighted and sat beside him, saying, "My husband, I had a dream again last night..."
"A nightmare?" Dongfang Run felt a sense of familiarity when he saw her bright little face. He knew clearly that she was throwing a tantrum and was in a bad mood, but he just couldn't harden his heart to blame her.
"No, I dreamed about Ling'er. She blamed me for ignoring her in the dream." Zhong Min'er said with resentment, "I guess you dream about something at night if you think about it during the day..."
"Oh!" Dongfang Run said lightly.
"My husband, I want to bring my sister into the mansion. She has nothing to do, and she can accompany me to the birth. My parents' business is inseparable, and she is an idle person, so I think she will be willing to come." When Zhong Min'er said this, her eyes lit up, "Also, Ling'er's cooking is most to my taste. You knew it when you were at our house, right? Of course, if the expenses in the mansion are not enough, I will let Ling'er bring some money and some more local specialties, okay?"
"Well, there's no need to bring your own money. The mansion doesn't need the expenses for one more person." Dongfang Run said calmly.
Zhong Min'er was very happy.
In fact, she has her own ideas. Zhong Ling'er has been very smart since she was a child, and she is good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting. At least in her opinion, her sister has an advantage and may not be inferior to Lou Wanyue. Therefore, when she comes here, she at least has a helper. If she marries Dongfang Run, the sisters will be united and no matter who she is, she can still do it.
After Dongfang Run agreed to this matter, he did not take it too seriously, thinking that maybe she really missed home. It was her first time away from home, so he gave her more money for her expenses. Sometimes in the morning and evening, when she wanted to see him, he would gently accompany her for a walk in the garden of Shouwang Mansion. At this time, Dongfang Xin would occasionally appear, but Lou Wanyue would not come to disturb them.
She disdained any attempt to compete for favor, let alone compete with a pregnant woman.
This day.
The weather was getting hotter. Zhong Min'er felt too hot and wanted to eat ice cubes, but the doctor told her not to eat too much cold. She became irritable and got a little angry.
Seeing this, Xiaoqiao had to persuade him softly that there was a pavilion by the water in Shouwang Mansion, which was slightly cooler than other places because it was close to the water.
However, when the master and servant arrived there, Lou Wanyue and Dongfang Xin were smiling happily, and the stone table was filled with chilled fruits. Dongfang Xin was not afraid of the heat, and ate the fruits while laughing, chasing after a few maids, and just ran in front of Zhong Min'er. The child was short and did not recognize who she was, and had no time to avoid her, so she bumped into her straight away. Zhong Min'er screamed and fell to the side. The maids who followed her were so frightened that they even forgot to help her, and just screamed along with her.
Dongfang Xin finally saw who she was. He knew he was in trouble, so he burst into tears and ran back. Lou Wanyue arrived just in time and hurried forward to help Zhong Miner up. Zhong Miner's face was pale, and her hands and feet were shaking. She shook off Lou Wanyue's hand: "Who told you to be so kind!"
This sentence came out of my mouth.
After she said it, she felt that her accusation was somewhat groundless, but was this Dongfang Xin her nemesis? Why did nothing good happen to her when she met him?
She was just frightened and her stomach tightened for a moment, but she changed her mind and immediately leaned on Xiaoqiao, almost crushing her. Her voice was even weaker and more powerless: "Xiaoqiao, come quickly, my stomach hurts, find a doctor..."
Xiaoqiao was frightened. She looked at Zhong Min'er in panic: "Miss, you have to hold on, your servant..."
"Someone, go get the doctor." Lou Wanyue was the first to recover from her shock. "You guys, help Madam back to her room."
The frightened maids hurriedly came forward to help Zhong Min'er, but now she was as if facing a great enemy: "Stay away from me, don't come over!"
Seeing this, Lou Wanyue sighed: "Don't be angry now. There are so many of us, who would want to harm you?"
"No, I want to find Dongfang Run, I want to see Dongfang Run!" Zhong Min'er had a miserable face and shook her head. Her voice became louder and louder, and she sounded more and more crazy.
"Okay, someone, come and invite the prince. Then you sit down, don't stand." Lou Wanyue said softly.
With Xiaoqiao's help, Zhong Min'er walked to the stone table and sat down. She still leaned on her: "My stomach hurts so much..."
Dongfang Xin was still crying at this time. Seeing his mother so serious, he thought it might be even more serious than last time.
She could not help but fall into the maid's arms and almost fainted.
Lou Wanyue stepped forward and gently hugged Dongfang Xin: "Xin'er, don't cry, mother is here..."
It’s not the child’s fault.
She looked at the clumsy maids coldly and said, "Why don't you kneel down and apologize to the Madam? The child is young and can't see, and you are running around with him. Don't you know how to take care of him?"
The maids knelt on the stone floor in front of Zhong Min'er and admitted their mistakes.
Zhong Min'er looked at them without saying anything, just groaning to herself, pretending not to see anything. The maids were unsure. If something really happened, how could they be fine if Dongfang Xin was fine? Besides, they were indeed responsible.
So, they all kowtowed repeatedly, and soon, bloodstains appeared on their foreheads. Zhong Min'er felt much better. She didn't expect that Lou Wanyue couldn't do anything to clean herself up, and had to ask the maid to apologize to her.
But how should she deal with Dongfang Xin?
Whether he did it on purpose or was told by others, how could such a young child do so well?
I hurt myself every time.
Last time it was with words, this time it was with actions.
She saw Dongfang Run coming out of the corner of her eye and suddenly cried out even louder. Lou Wanyue went forward and wanted to say something, but saw that Dongfang Run's face was full of anxiety and panic, and he ran straight to Zhong Miner. She took a step aside, standing there quietly, holding Dongfang Xin who was still crying.
Those people were still kneeling there, but Dongfang Run didn't care. He just bent down, picked up Zhong Min'er, and walked away. As he walked, he asked the servants when the doctor would arrive.
Watching them leave, Lou Wanyue finally let out the breath that had been pent up in her heart. She turned around and said calmly, "All of you get up..."
The lights in Prince Shou's Mansion were on until the second half of the night, when Lou Wanyue received news that there was nothing abnormal with Zhong Min'er's pregnancy. She blew out the lights and did not turn them off until daybreak. The maids could still hear Lou Wanyue tossing and turning.
The next morning.
Dongfang Ruoxue just happened to come to see her.
Seeing the dark circles under her eyes, she seemed to ask, "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Lou Wanyue just sighed quietly. Before she could speak, the maid next to her said directly, "Not only did she not sleep well, I'm afraid the master didn't sleep all night last night. I heard her tossing and turning until dawn. If the West Courtyard tosses and turns a few more times, not to mention the master, even Xin'er will not be able to sleep well. At night, the young master had a nightmare and woke up crying several times."
