Chapter 231 The belly was discovered
Chunyue immediately went to the door to greet Mrs. Du.
Mrs. Du hurried to An Yunxi's room.
At this time, An Yunxi had just crawled into the quilt to hide her belly, and saw Mrs. Du had already arrived.
"Mom!"
After not seeing her for a long time, An Yunxi missed her mother very much.
Mrs. Du stepped over the threshold and came to the bedside in a few steps, her brows were tightly knitted, and she was very worried.
"Xi'er, why didn't you ask someone to inform me when you were sick? I heard about it from the servants of Miss Wen."
An Yunxi smiled and said, "It's just a minor illness. The prince took good care of me. I'm almost well today. I didn't think of telling me and worrying me."
She was talking to Mrs. Du, and then she glanced at Mrs. Liu standing next to her.
Mrs. Liu's mind was obviously not on her. As soon as she came in, she looked around, as if she was looking for something.
She immediately asked, "I didn't expect my aunt to come too, Chunyue, why don't you take a seat?"
"Yes, Princess."
Someone brought a chair and asked Mrs. Du and Mrs. Liu to sit down together.
But Mrs. Du was worried about An Yunxi, so she didn't sit down.
Mrs. Liu didn't care about that. She sat on the chair with a fake smile on her face, and then looked at An Yunxi with great concern: "What disease do you have, have you seen a doctor?"
The question was obviously nonsense.
An Yunxi said with a fake smile: "Thank you for your concern, aunt, it's just a little cold."
Mrs. Liu nodded with a smile on her face: "I'm glad you're okay. Your mother was in a hurry when she heard that you were sick. I advised her not to worry. Look, isn't Xier girl fine?"
Mrs. Du didn't have a good face for Liu, but for the sake of her brother and the face between the sisters-in-law, she didn't tear her face.
"May God bless my Xier and hope that nothing serious happens to her. Xier was just assassinated a few days ago. She must have been frightened and fell ill. Mother has made chicken soup for you. You must take good care of your body."
As she spoke, Mrs. Du asked the nanny behind her to bring over the food box containing chicken soup.
An Yunxi's eyes lit up when she smelled the fragrance and she sat up straight immediately.
Her morning sickness has improved a lot now, and she can eat more than before. She hasn't had lunch yet and has been a little hungry for a long time.
Seeing her expectant look, Mrs. Du couldn't help but smile at the corner of her lips, then carefully brought out the steaming chicken soup and personally brought it to An Yunxi's lips with a spoon.
"How about trying it?"
"Mmm, mother's cooking is so good, it's delicious."
An Yunxi's beautiful eyes were bent.
Liu sat not far away and watched this scene, her eyes flickered slightly, and there was obviously a little thought in her eyes.
She sat for a while, looking at the picture of the deep love between mother and daughter, and felt a little tired, and couldn't help but interrupt: "Didn't the palace hold a banquet yesterday? Why didn't I see the third prince go back?"
She suddenly asked this, and An Yunxi narrowed her eyes instantly.
Liu suddenly ran over to ask for the whereabouts of the third prince, she knew something.
"Mom, I'm full."
Du put the bowl down helplessly, and worriedly asked, "Why do you eat so little?"
An Yunxi's eyes fell on Liu behind her, and she raised her lips: "Who said the third prince didn't leave?"
Liu paused: "This morning, Concubine Hui came to the Marquis' Mansion. We mentioned it when we were chatting. I have something to ask the third prince, so I came here to ask."
An Yunxi lowered her eyes: "So, aunt didn't come to visit Xier today?"
"How could it be? It's just on the way. Look, aunt has prepared a gift for you."
Liu smiled awkwardly and asked someone to prepare a box and brought it up.
Chunyue took it, opened it and took a look. There was a ginseng of good quality inside.
An Yunxi's expression became a little better: "The Third Prince is really not in my house, do you want to look for him somewhere else?"
Liu frowned and was silent for a while.
She asked so bluntly, but An Yunxi didn't want to give in at all. She saw that the Third Prince had met with an accident!
If there hadn't been someone watching the people coming in and out of the palace, she would have been fooled by An Yunxi.
"Yunxi, aunt is really looking for the third prince for something urgent."
An Yunxi was a little curious: "Then tell me what's urgent, aunt, and I'll help you find it."
Liu was speechless for a moment, and rolled her eyes before saying: "Aunt has a niece, who is good-looking and has good character. In addition, I have a good relationship with Concubine Hui, so I want to match the two children and let them meet."
An Yunxi was a little puzzled: "If it's really suitable, can't you and Concubine Hui just finalize it?"
She sneered in her heart.
In their family background, parents' orders and matchmaker's words, can these two young people still object?
Liu hurriedly said: "We still have to ask the third prince's opinion. If His Highness is unwilling, then we, the elders, can't force it, right?"
An Yunxi touched her chin.
The silent waiting made Liu a little nervous.
What she said was reasonable enough. If An Yunxi didn't tell her the whereabouts of the third prince, there would be only one answer.
The third prince, something really happened!
"Then when the prince comes back, I will tell him and ask him to help find out the whereabouts of the third prince. Aunt will go back and wait for news. Ahem, I'm not feeling well, so I won't see you off."
An Yunxi directly ordered her to leave.
Seeing that she couldn't get any accurate information directly from An Yunxi, Liu could only get up and leave with an ugly face.
Du was still in the room. When she heard An Yunxi cough, she quickly touched her forehead with her hand and grabbed her hand worriedly.
"You kid, you still said you were fine."
An Yunxi's cheeks were a little red.
She was just trying to pretend to be sick to deceive Mrs. Liu, but she ended up making her mother worry for nothing.
She quietly leaned close to Mrs. Du's ear and said, "Mother, I have recovered from my illness a long time ago, really. I was pretending to cough just now. Listen, cough cough cough cough."
She deliberately coughed a few more times in Mrs. Du's ear, which was so fake that it couldn't be more fake.
Mrs. Du couldn't help laughing and touched An Yunxi's head: "Don't deliberately coax mother. If you are sick, just lie down on the bed. Mother will get you a glass of water to moisten your throat."
She turned and walked to the table next to her.
As a result, she accidentally tripped on the chair leg that was tilted when Mrs. Liu left.
Mrs. Du just stumbled, but An Yunxi was scared. Without thinking, she stepped on the ground with one foot and stretched out her upper body to hold Mrs. Du.
"Mom!"
Mrs. Du immediately calmed down, eased the atmosphere, smiled and turned her head and said, "Mom is fine, I just didn't notice it."
Before she finished speaking, she saw An Yunxi's obviously bulging belly.
All the sounds stopped abruptly, and all were squeezed into the throat.
