Chapter 91 She lives a rather insightful life.
Zhang Yumo also came to the Fourth Prince's residence today.
She saw Jiang Fenghua at first glance and quickly came out to greet her, saying, "Greetings to Princess Heng."
"Sister Zhang, you're putting on these empty formalities again." She was here today to see Zhang Yumo. Her elder brother had been back in the capital for quite some time and had been given an official position by His Majesty, so he had been very busy.
What's even more bizarre is that Sang Yu Pianpian didn't stay at the post station as a princess, but instead went directly to the Jiang residence. Everyone in the Jiang residence was on edge and extremely cautious.
The news had spread to some extent, but everyone only knew that a woman had come to the Jiang residence, unaware that she was a princess of the Chaoxi Kingdom. Some even joked that the Jiang family was about to have a good event. Since her son did not answer, Madam Jiang did not know how to reply and simply said that she was a distant relative staying there to appease the situation.
Jiang Fenghua was also busy with the affairs of Jishantang, so she didn't send an invitation to the Zhang family to meet her.
Jiang Fenghua said, "Let's go see the young princess first."
Zhang Yumo said, "Let me lead the way for you ladies."
This was the first time Jiang Fenghua had met the Fourth Prince's wife, Lady Zhang, since marrying into the royal family. Lady Zhang was extremely gentle and graceful. She was the daughter of the Duke of Zhang's family, but only a concubine's daughter. It was a great honor for her to marry the Fourth Prince.
In terms of seniority, the Fourth Princess is Zhang Yumo's aunt. The two are not far apart in age, so they are closer.
The ladies praised the young princess's beauty again, and soon the topic turned to Jiang Fenghua.
"It's been half a year since Princess Heng got married, isn't it time for some good news?"
"Did you not have a doctor check your pulse? You might be pregnant without even knowing it. This is your first pregnancy, so you can't be careless. You have to be very careful..."
"No wonder I've noticed that Princess Heng has gained a lot of weight recently. Is it possible that good news is on the way?"
Everyone chimed in, making Jiang Fenghua increasingly embarrassed. She had been using contraception for the first two months, but Xie Shang had become busy. Sometimes he would be away for half a month at a time, and when he came back, he was busy with the affairs of the yamen and Jishantang, so they didn't have many opportunities to be together.
Everyone chimed in, making her feel embarrassed. Her cheeks turned as red as apples, and she took the opportunity to pull Zhang Yumo's hand and leave.
The Third Princess quickly smoothed things over for her, saying, "They've only been married for half a year, they should enjoy their time together more. Fenghua is still young, what's the rush!"
When the banquet began, everyone was still discussing this matter, and these words more or less reached Xie Shang's ears.
So, the men in the audience started teasing Prince Heng, asking him if he was too busy with official duties and neglecting his wife.
Xie Shang also went to see the Fourth Prince's youngest daughter. She was incredibly cute, with a face smaller than his palm. She was wrapped in swaddling clothes and was only as long as his arm. How long would it take for her to grow up?
He imagined that if Jiang Fenghua had a daughter, she would be just as beautiful as her!
Xie Shang grinned and glanced towards the women's section, but didn't see Jiang Fenghua.
He put down his wine glass, got up, and walked outside.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Jiang Fenghua invited Zhang Yumo to the pavilion, where the two chatted idly.
She could tell that Zhang Yumo had a lot to say and a lot to ask, but she couldn't bring herself to ask.
She didn't know what right she had to ask, because Jiang Jinyan's rejection had made her lose face.
But if she can't marry the man she loves in this life, she'd rather remain unmarried for the rest of her life.
"Sister Zhang, would you like to see my eldest brother?" Jiang Fenghua didn't want her to keep everything bottled up inside; it was easy for her to get into trouble that way.
Zhang Yumo clenched her handkerchief tightly. "I...can I?"
“He probably doesn’t want to see me!” she added. “I heard these past two days that a woman has moved into your Jiang residence. Is she going to be your sister-in-law?”
Jiang Fenghua didn't hide it from her and nodded, "Yes, but I don't know if she will be my sister-in-law."
Zhang Yumo's eyes were red and brimming with tears. "Fenghua, I understand. Thank you for not hiding it from me."
Jiang Fenghua was completely confused. What did she know?
Seeing tears on Zhang Yumo's cheeks, she handed her a handkerchief. "Why do you like my older brother? Actually, he's very dull and doesn't know how to make girls happy. He's just a bit better looking than other men, but he doesn't have any other redeeming qualities."
“She’s been so good to you, Fenghua,” Zhang Yumo said.
Jiang Fenghua wanted to say that she was his sister, so naturally he treated her very well.
Zhang Yumo then said, "Even if he doesn't know how to make girls happy, I don't care." She liked his talent, his charming demeanor, and everything about him.
She said, "That day he suddenly ran over and talked to me, and my heart was about to jump out of my chest."
She even considered becoming his concubine if Jiang Jinyan was willing to accept her.
Jiang Fenghua felt that Zhang Yumo's love was too humble, just like her own in her previous life. If Zhang Yumo knew what kind of life she lived in her previous life, would she still think that it was enough to just marry him? Could she endure the rest of her life for decades?
"Yu Mo, we women can't live like this, without a sense of self. Nothing is more important than yourself. No matter if a man likes you or not, he is not as important as you. Only by living can there be hope." She just wanted to make her cherish life and not have suicidal thoughts.
Zhang Yumo was completely confused. "I will live well."
Zhang Yumo suddenly looked up, "Your Highness Prince Heng."
Jiang Fenghua turned around and saw Xie Shang suddenly appear. She quickly went over and asked, "Why has Your Highness come?"
"I came out to look for you when I saw you weren't at the table," Xie Shang said calmly. "There are too many people here, so don't wander around."
She said gently, "I won't get lost." Did Xie Shang hear what she said? She just wanted to comfort Zhang Yumo and didn't want her to go down a path of no return.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Zhang Yumo quickly said, "I'll go find my grandmother first."
Only after she left did Jiang Fenghua take Xie Shang's hand and ask, "Did Your Highness drink today?"
"I had a little." Xie Shang took her fingers in his hand. Her fingers were slender and delicate, her face was beautiful and charming, and her eyes were bright and clear. In her heart, the man was not as important as herself. That is to say, he was not as important as herself in her heart. Is that right?
She lives a very clear-headed life.
"Are we going back?" Jiang Fenghua asked. She knew Xie Shang was sensitive and even more possessive when it came to relationships. He could spoil her without limits because she had nothing but him in her heart. If she offended this Master Zun, she would have to coax him when they got back.
"Let's wait until the banquet is over; it doesn't seem right to leave now," he said.
"Has Your Highness seen the little princess? She's so small, soft, and adorable." She asked sweetly, trying to start a conversation.
He suddenly stopped in his tracks. "Does Ruan Ruan like children?"
Jiang Fenghua's eyes lit up with joy, "I like it, Your Highness, do you like it?"
He suddenly said, "Is there still no sign of pregnancy in your belly? Should we call Physician Mei to take a look?" He was quite pleased with that.
"I had my pulse checked last time, and there's nothing wrong with my health!" she said.
He leaned close to her ear and said, "Let's have a daughter as beautiful as Ruan Ruan."
"Let's have a son as handsome as the prince!" Jiang Fenghua began to coax him.
The couple walked along casually, and as they passed through a secluded path, they seemed to hear faint sobs.
The next second, just as they were about to take a closer look, they saw a woman dressed as a maid suddenly run away.
The two exchanged a glance. The Fourth Prince's mansion was celebrating a baby's one-month birthday today, a joyous occasion. Why was a maid hiding here crying? Wouldn't it be bad luck if she were discovered?
They didn't interfere much in the affairs of the Fourth Prince's residence, since it wasn't their place to meddle.
