When Yong's mother heard that her daughter-in-law was looking for her son, she had a bad feeling. She tentatively said to her son, "Your mother and I don't pay much attention to these things, but we all know that you are keeping a girl outside. I suppose your wife is even more concerned about you and probably knows that you are keeping a girl outside, since you haven't spent the night at home for so many months."
After a slight reminder, Yong Xingchen instantly understood his mother's meaning, frowned, and then quickly relaxed his grip.
He probably knew why the Crown Prince's wife wanted to see him, but no matter what she was thinking, he wouldn't let her have her way.
"I understand, Mother, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"What do I have to worry about? As long as my grandson is alright, that's all that matters. Well, I'm still a little uneasy. My nanny Yang has been serving me for so long, she knows a bit about things like pregnancy and childcare. When you leave later, take her with you."
Dianxin is stubborn but soft-hearted. He says he doesn't care on the surface, but he is actually worried in his heart. After all, everyone knows what kind of person his daughter-in-law is.
"I understand, thank you for your concern, Mother. Baozhu will definitely give you a big, healthy son."
"Don't be too sure of yourself. Even if it's a girl, I'll still love her. We can never have too many children in our family. You can't put too much pressure on Baozhu. Don't say things like 'you must have a son' in front of her, otherwise she'll think too much and it won't be good for her pregnancy."
When Mother Yong heard about the three chubby boys, her mouth immediately broke into a wide grin, but then she suddenly closed it again and began to seriously lecture her son.
"Yes, Mother, don't worry. I'll be going now if there's nothing else. Father and Mother, please get some rest."
"Go ahead, be careful."

The Crown Prince's wife's surname is Wen, and her given name is Miaomiao.
At this moment, Wen Miaomiao was sitting in the living room waiting for the young master to arrive, thinking about how to get things done after he arrived.
After all, the young master has never said anything about bringing that vixen into the manor, so it seems he doesn't plan to bring her in.
If the young master had no interest in that vixen, that would be impossible. If he hadn't, he wouldn't have stayed there resting for two or three months without even returning to the manor.
But if the young master is interested in that vixen, then why doesn't he bring her into the manor? After all, the reputation of a mistress is too bad; she's practically someone everyone hates.
If the young master really cared that much, he wouldn't have ruined her reputation so much; if he didn't care, he wouldn't have stayed away for so long.
So what exactly does the young master mean?
Wen Miaomiao kept pondering until Yong Xingchen entered the main room, and the maid tugged at her sleeve, bringing her back to her senses.
"Master is back. I imagine you've been busy all day and must be hungry. The meal is ready, let's eat first."
As Yong Xingchen watched the sky outside gradually darken, he had no appetite at all. He was worried that Baozhu would be waiting for him to eat alone in the house, and it would be bad if she got hungry.
"Let's eat next time. I still have things to take care of. Just say what you need to say, and I'll be going out after that."
Upon hearing his words, Wen Miaomiao felt a pang of discomfort in her heart. Was he not even willing to eat a meal here?
Something's wrong? She didn't believe anything could be wrong. Besides being seduced by some vixen, what could be so important that he couldn't even eat?
"It's just a meal. I don't think that young lady outside is that domineering. She won't even let the master have a meal with his wife."
Yong Xingchen immediately raised his head and looked at Wen Miaomiao with a fierce gaze, which frightened Wen Miaomiao so much that she immediately dared not speak.
Even though he couldn't speak, he was still incredibly upset. Just mentioning that vixen outside made him angry. Was he not allowed to mention her at all?
But she refused to believe it. She was the young mistress of the Marquis's mansion, and she didn't believe the young master would dare to do anything to her.
“Why do you have to act like this, sir? I’m only thinking of you. That sister has been outside for a long time, and her reputation won’t be good. It would be better to bring her into the manor. That way, you won’t have to travel around every day. It’s so difficult for Father and Mother to see you.”
If it weren't for the fact that her hands were clenched into fists inside her sleeves, with her nails piercing the skin of her palms and drawing bright red blood, one might actually believe that what she said was sincere.
Yong Xingchen never believed that she had such a kind heart, even though he was the only son in the Marquis's mansion and there weren't as many messy things as in other mansions.
But he knew all the things he needed to know: any of his concubines in the backyard who were slightly favored would soon run into problems, either here or there.
At first, he genuinely thought they were unwell, but later he realized that someone was just trying to make them feel unwell. However, he didn't care about the women in the backyard, so he pretended not to see it.
However, if Wen Miaomiao dares to set her sights on Baozhu, he will absolutely not let Wen Miaomiao off the hook, even if she is his wife.
“Baozhu is just an ordinary peasant girl. She is not used to life in the Marquis’s mansion. She will be uncomfortable here. Let her live outside for the time being. When she wants to come into the Marquis’s mansion, we will bring her in.”
When Wen Miaomiao saw the young master mention that vixen outside, his tone was so gentle, and even the expression on his face was tender, it made her insanely jealous.
The young master had never been so gentle with her, not even when they had just gotten married. Now she was determined to kill that vixen outside at all costs.
She decided that from now on she must remain discreet and not let the young master know that she had bad feelings for that woman, and wait for the right opportunity to strike decisively.
"In that case, Your Highness should also pay more attention to that younger sister. Once she has adapted to the wealth and luxury of the Marquis's mansion, then bring her into the mansion. With one more younger sister in the mansion, there will be one more person to help the Marquis's mansion continue its lineage."
Yong Xingchen found Wen Miaomiao's feigned virtuousness unbearable and no longer wanted to stay.
"I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. You can eat by yourself."
Before Wen Miaomiao could say anything, the young master left. She quickly chased after him and watched as he strode away from Tangli Garden, his eyes filled with an indescribable malice and cruelty.
