Zhong Min'er originally wanted Dongfang Run to take Zhong Ling'er in, but now she changed her mind because she felt that in this mansion, they sisters could do whatever they wanted, but ever since she knew that Dongfang Shou was the legitimate grandson of the late emperor, her thoughts sometimes changed.
But she couldn't tell Zhong Ling'er about this idea right now. After all, she was still young. If she lost her temper, something terrible might happen.
No matter what, Zhong Ling'er has become famous.
She did not leave any good impression on Lou Wanyue and Dongfang Ruoxue, and instead made people wary of her.
Lou Wanyue asked Qianshu to inquire about Dongrun's whereabouts. Later, Qianshu came back and said that Dongfangrun was still living in the study and had not gone to the west courtyard. Only then did she feel relieved.
After Dongfang Ruoxue returned to the Lian Mansion, she did not force Lian Muhan to ask anything. She just glared at him and did not give him a good look. Lian Muhan did not know what he did wrong and looked innocent.
Dongfang Ruoxue just turned her face away from him and carried Lian Qingcheng into another room. Lian Muchan sobered up the next day and seemed to understand something, but he was unwilling to admit it.
Zhong Ling'er was treated really well in Shou Wang Mansion. She was given a share of everything Zhong Min'er had, and even a rare blood swallow. When Qian Shu and Lou Wanyue talked about this, Lou Wanyue thought for a moment and said, "She is a guest, and she should be given it."
Qian Shu pursed her lips and said, "The sisters are all picking out the best things in our house. One of them is understandable because she is pregnant, but what about the other one? Is she going to take our young master's things?"
"Okay, I didn't say anything, so where do you get all those complaints from?" Lou Wanyue looked at her and smiled bitterly.
"You are a good person, with a kind heart. We servants can't stand it..." Qianshu pouted and walked out.
Lou Wanyue sat there in a daze for a while, then sighed, picked up the flower stand next to her, and started embroidering.
When Dongfang Run came into the room, he saw her sitting under the window. The bright sunlight shone gently on her. She looked really beautiful and holy.
He stood there without moving, just thinking, this woman is his wife, why can't his heart recognize her? What happened between them? There is resentment in her eyes, and he kept wondering, what is it? Is she just blaming him for marrying Zhong Min'er after losing his memory?
But she didn't care about Zhong Min'er. Apparently, in her heart, Zhong Min'er was not enough to pose a threat to her...
Lou Wanyue felt his gaze and looked up, only to see Dongfang Run standing there with a handsome appearance, wearing a long gown, still his favorite white color. He was still as gentle and warm as when they first met.
She thought that she had never changed her feelings towards him, and he was the one who had changed.
She put down her embroidery, stood up, and smiled gently: "Husband..."
Husband, these two words were the first time she called him that since he came back.
Before, I always called him Prince.
Lou Wanyue only said two words, and she felt a pain in her heart. She had rarely called him like this before, and it seemed as if he had never belonged to her.
If it weren't for An Qingran's help, she wouldn't have Xin'er. Now she can't imagine how her life would be without Xin'er.
If Xin'er was not there and he took Zhong Min'er back, could he still stay in the Prince Shou's Mansion?
"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Lou Wanyue asked.
Dongfang Runcai came back to his senses, nodded, and sat down: "I want to tell you about Zhong Ling'er."
"Oh." Lou Wanyue said indifferently.
"Min'er wanted Ling'er to stay with her until she gave birth, because she felt lonely in the palace without her relatives around, so I asked her to bring Zhong Ling'er over..."
This is also his explanation.
Explanation after the fact.
Lou Wanyue smiled and said, "It's understandable that Zhong Min'er thinks this way. After all, she has never left home. She must be scared when she enters the capital. It feels different with her relatives around. But Ling'er is a little young. I'm afraid she won't be able to take care of her sister even if she wants to. I have sent someone to find a nanny. It turns out that the nanny who left our house is good at taking care of people. She will be back in the house in two days. I haven't told you about this yet."
"You are thoughtful." Dongfang Run was somewhat moved. "I have wronged you before. You shouldered such heavy household chores by yourself and raised Xin'er so well. Think about it, if it were me, I am afraid I can only do this."
Is this a thank you to her?
Hearing such warm words coming out of his mouth, Lou Wanyue was a little excited, and her eyes became moist: "You don't know how we, mother and son, got through those days. We just thought that one day you would come back. This belief has always supported me, otherwise..."
Her voice was choked and she couldn't speak.
"Yes, I'm back." There was some embarrassment on Dongfang Run's face. He did come back, but he brought back a pregnant woman. This was definitely not what Lou Wanyue had imagined.
Just as I was thinking about it, the maid from the west courtyard came again and said that the lady was not feeling well and her stomach was aching again.
Dongfang Run showed no urgency on his face, and said calmly, "I'll be there in a moment."
The maid retreated and dared not say anything else.
Lou Wanyue's newly-awakened sadness disappeared, and she just smiled: "Go and have a look..."
"Don't worry, she's just making a fuss. The doctor also said that she is young and in good health." Dongfang Runxiang was explaining.
Lou Wanyue smiled and said, "It's inevitable to be nervous when having your first child."
Dongfang Run hesitated for a moment and said, "I was thinking, you would never do this at the beginning, right?"
Lou Wanyue felt warm in her heart: "Because my parents were by my side, I was not afraid at all."
Dongfang Run took a sip of tea and said, "My parents miss Xin'er very much, and they also miss you very much..."
When the Shou Wang couple was mentioned, Lou Wanyue wiped her eyes and said, "Thinking of my parents who are so old and suffering in the countryside, and us not being able to show filial piety to them, I feel that as their children, we are really unfilial..."
Dongfang Run's face also showed sadness when he heard this: "Although I haven't remembered the past, but as soon as we met, I knew that they were the ones who loved me the most and regarded me as their life... Fortunately, Lian Muhan and Ruoxue were very thoughtful, and my parents are in good health. They also have people to serve them and show filial piety for us. Now that my parents know I'm back, they are a little anxious and can't wait to see me day and night. It's just that I don't know when this wish will come true."
"Yes, the Emperor and Empress are the most kindhearted. They sympathize with our parents' old age, so they turned a blind eye to Lian Muhan and the others' private care, pretending they knew nothing. This time, the Emperor has shown mercy by allowing you to leave the capital."
Dongfang Run nodded indifferently. He had no recollection of his previous rebellion, but he knew the reason. It was because the Queen Mother wanted his father to ascend the throne. Now that the Queen Mother had passed away, his father would get over this matter, but his mother was the happiest one.
He met his parents and was very envious of his father who only had his mother as his wife.
He felt that if he really fell in love with a woman, he would not let another woman take away his feelings.
Lou Wanyue felt very relieved. She thought Dongfang Run did a good job and did not completely disregard her feelings, but he still left in the end.
Looking at her back, she sighed quietly. She was already content with this. What else could she do?
Of course, news soon came from the West Hospital that the doctor had also checked and the fetus was stable and there was nothing serious.
***********
The Imperial Palace.
An Qingran lay on the rattan chair, the sunlight shining through the camphor leaves, she closed her eyes slightly, breathing in the warm floral scent in the air, feeling very comfortable.
Ran'er's laughter could be heard not far away. The little palace maids nearby were holding fly swatters and swishing them gently to drive away the bees and butterflies for her. An Qingran felt a wave of sleepiness coming over her and soon fell into a deep sleep.
She didn't know where she was. There was nothing around her, white and boundless fog. She walked forward a few steps and heard a burst of laughter. It was Ran'er's laughter. She walked forward following the laughter. She didn't know what was in the thick fog. She just felt waves of fear. She called Ran'er and stepped forward. The ground was very flat, without sand or mud. But every time she took a step, her heart would beat like a drum, for fear that she would suddenly sink...
She told herself it was a dream.
But such a real dream was too terrifying.
She couldn't understand.
I reached out and pinched my arm, and it hurt, but it was very weak!
There is actually pain. Could it be that the soul can also feel pain?
An Qingran panicked. Ran'er's voice disappeared at this moment. She stopped and started calling Ran'er's name, but there was no echo. She called Dongfang Jin loudly again, but there was still no echo. Finally, she called Rendong, but the sound seemed to be absorbed by the fog, and there was no sound at all.
An Qingran opened her eyes wide, but couldn't see her fingers. She simply closed her eyes and waited quietly for herself to wake up. She had never had such a real dream before. She even remembered the little palace maid holding the fly swatter just now. How should she wake up now?
You'll wake up eventually, right?
She comforted herself and calmed her panic. She sat on the ground and breathed slowly. As someone who had experienced life and death, how could she be frightened by a nightmare?
Scenes of the past flashed before her eyes. She remembered everything from that life and everything from this life. The things that happened were intertwined and yet separated from each other. The trajectory of everything changed because of her rebirth. She didn't know what it meant. Was this nightmare a warning from God?
Is it because she has enjoyed too many blessings?
Is this to make her reflect on herself?
But now, she has no ambition at all. She only hopes that her child can be born safely, and that Dongfang Jin and herself can grow old together without any disasters.
She didn't care much about the country and the people.
Dongfang Jin must be the same as her, just because of a sense of responsibility.
Who doesn't want to be a rich and independent person?
Suddenly, Ran'er's voice sounded again, he was calling his mother.
