Song's mother was naturally indignant, but after speaking, she quickly asked questions.
"What did the doctor say? Is the child alright?"
This is what she cares about most; everything before that was just a prelude.
Song Tangli nodded obediently: "The imperial physicians have already come to see me and said that there is nothing seriously wrong for the time being, but I need to rest in bed for half a month."
Upon hearing this answer, Song's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good. As long as the child is okay, your position won't be affected."
But then he added a word of caution: "This whole thing happened so suspiciously, and now that you've regained favor, there must be a lot of people who are unhappy. Could it be that someone is trying to frame you?"
Song Tangli truly didn't expect that her mother would think so much.
She was quite surprised, but quickly answered.
"Mother, experience is the best teacher. I'm so glad you reminded me, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of this."
Song Tangli's face turned somewhat frightened, and then she looked at her seriously.
"Please rest assured, my daughter will definitely investigate this matter immediately!"
"You must be wary of others and be extra careful, especially given your current situation. You know better than I do how many people you've blocked."
Song's mother spoke up again to remind her, but then added...
"Luckily, I'm here this time. I'm planning to come and take care of you for a while, which will also be a good opportunity to help you with your investigation."
After Song's mother finished speaking, Song Tangli subconsciously refused.
"How can that be? Father is currently idle at home and needs more people to take care of him. What will happen to him if you come?"
Song Tangli spoke with great seriousness, and continued, "There are so many people here, they can definitely take good care of my daughter, so please rest assured, Mother."
"You're still too young and inexperienced, and you don't know what's important or what's not."
Song's mother answered helplessly, and she spoke with great seriousness.
When Song Tangli saw her like this, she knew that her mother must have made up her mind.
She absolutely could not let Song's mother stay, otherwise she would discover her secret sooner or later.
"The daughter is worried about her father. He was already prone to overthinking because he was idle at home, and now that no one is taking care of him, he might get even worse."
“But this trip was at your father’s suggestion, so don’t say anything more. I’ve already made arrangements with your father, and I’m determined to stay and take care of you this time.”
Song's mother spoke with righteous indignation, and her words were beyond question.
If Song Tangli continues to refuse, she will only appear to be completely ignorant.
She was extremely troubled, knowing she was in a dilemma, but had no choice but to agree.
"Yes, I am really worried about you, but I don't want to refuse you again."
“That’s a good child. Just focus on your pregnancy and don’t worry about anything else. Your father can still tell what’s more important.”
Finally, Song's mother showed a relieved smile and got up.
"I'll go and inquire myself right away to see if there are any strange people,"
Song's mother had no idea about any of this; it was all a lie.
Song Tangli was at a loss, but she still had to force a smile.
"Thank you, Mother. With you here, I feel much more at ease!"
Song's mother said, "Silly child, you should rest well now."
After Song's mother left, Xiaoyao immediately came in.
Song Tangli knew perfectly well why she had come.
"I had no choice but to refuse this time, after all, I had to make plans for the future."
After saying this, he started muttering to himself.
"Old witch, you're only staying here because you're worried about the child in my belly!"
"We both know the truth perfectly well, but we must find a way to stop it,"
Xiaoyao spoke with utmost seriousness, but Song Tangli was at a loss for what to do.
"I tried everything I could to reason with you, but it was no use at all."
"If you want to make someone immobile, there are plenty of ways. Why not let me do it? I guarantee it will be done before sunset today."
Xiaoyao answered immediately, and was very confident in himself.
Song Tangli wasn't stupid; of course she understood what she was planning.
Compared to his own secret, Song's mother's safety was naturally more important.
"Yes, but remember to be discreet and don't let anyone find out!"
Song Tangli nodded in agreement without hesitation, her eyes revealing a fierce glint.
Since Song's mother is so ungrateful, then she shouldn't blame me for being impolite.
Poor Song's mother didn't even know that the daughter she raised, though not her own, had become an ingrate.
She went directly to the dowry maids and questioned them, but found nothing.
Xiaoyao arrived shortly afterward: "Madam, the Crown Princess has already arranged a feast for you to welcome you and wash away the dust of your journey."
"This child is clearly filial; he's always exceptionally thoughtful."
Song's mother answered with great satisfaction, and then stood up.
"Lead the way."
Song's mother went over to prepare for the banquet, but unexpectedly, she tripped and fell hard in the garden.
They were driving normally when, unexpectedly, as they went down the next step, Xiaoyao suddenly flicked out a silver needle.
Song's mother cried out and collapsed.
"My ankle!" she cried out in pain.
Xiaoyao quickly helped her up, saying, "Madam, don't worry, I'll help you back to rest right away, and at the same time, I'll fetch the imperial physician!"
Are you all dead? Get moving!
Song Tangxue soon learned the news as well, and Haitang was speaking with great interest this time.
"The lady just went there, and less than half an hour later, she actually fell and has to rest in bed now."
After she finished speaking, she found it particularly funny, and then she continued.
"Is this Crown Prince's residence now an ominous place? Why does everyone who goes there end up bedridden?"
“This matter is definitely not that simple. Tell them to keep a close eye on it and not miss any information.”
Song Tangxue, however, felt that there was something fishy going on, so she directly instructed Haitang.
Haitang was completely confused, as she hadn't noticed anything, so she quickly asked.
Why do you say that? Have you discovered something?
"There can't be so many coincidences. There must be something fishy going on behind this."
Song Tangxue spoke first, and after she finished speaking, she also gave Haitang some instructions.
"We must make sure it's a well-hidden spot. She's feeling guilty right now, so she's definitely increased her manpower."
Song Tangxue knew all too well the little bit of sesame oil in Song Tangli's dog's belly.
Seeing that her master was speaking so seriously, Haitang quickly nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I will remind you again and again, and I will make sure that no flaws are revealed!"
"Go quickly, and remember to take good care of Lianzhi. Tell her not to rush and to rest first."
“This servant can’t make that decision. She’s been clamoring to come back and work these past two days. She’s in a real hurry.”
