When Yu Jin returned to Yuheyuan, Jiang Si was sleeping.

He waved his hand, signaling Aqiao to go back.

Winter is almost here, but fortunately the cold weather comes late this year and the temperature indoors is just right.

The open window let in a cool and comfortable breeze, which made the autumn-colored bed curtains sway slightly, as if rippling into layers of waves.

The person lying on the bed breathed evenly. His long, thick eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes. His skin seemed too fair, appearing a little pale.

Yu Jin gazed at the sleeping person, feeling delighted.

Not only did Ah Si marry him, she is now pregnant and will soon give birth to a child who is related to both of their blood.

Thinking of this, Yu Jin began to look forward to the young guy's arrival.

He held the ginger hand and rubbed it gently.

A bit too thin...

He thought about it and felt inexplicably worried.

"What are you thinking about?" A soft voice came, and Jiang Si opened his eyes.

Yu Jin leaned forward slightly and apologized, "Did I wake you up?"

Jiang Si sat up and said with a smile, "I've slept enough. How come you came back safe and sound after entering the palace today?"

Yu Jin smiled and touched her belly: "With this little guy as a talisman, I can get away with it safely."

He briefly recounted the incident and mentioned the old chief secretary: "You don't know the way the chief secretary looked at me when I came back with a cart of gifts."

Jiang Si laughed when he heard this.

I was oblivious to it in my previous life, but in this life I took over the Yan Palace again with a prepared attitude. Surprisingly, I found that many people were much more interesting than I had imagined.

Perhaps she has the confidence in this life that she did not have in her previous life, so her state of mind is completely different.

"What did you eat today?" Yu Jin asked.

"I used shredded chicken and white fungus, fresh mushrooms and cabbage hearts, and a few slices of steamed bamboo shoots..." Jiang Si's face turned pale as he spoke, and he waved his hand, "Don't mention food, it makes me want to vomit..."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it." Yu Jin glanced at his wife with a pointed chin and couldn't help but worry.

I wonder if Ah Si wants to eat braised pork elbow?

Soon, rewards from the palace were sent to Prince Yan's Mansion in an endless stream. There were rewards from the Empress, rewards from Consort Xian, rewards from concubines of some prominence, and even rewards from the Cining Palace.

The stewards of various royal palaces came one after another to deliver congratulatory gifts.

For a time, Prince Yan's Mansion was crowded with people and was the most famous.

When the news came to the Duke of Dongping's Mansion, Old Lady Feng was overjoyed. She said hello several times and ordered Jiang Yi to visit the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

Ah Qiao had been waiting at the second gate of the palace. When she saw the carriage slowly stop, she immediately went to meet it.

"Aunt, the princess has been waiting for you." Aqiao helped Jiang Yi walk inside.

This is Jiang Yi's first time to come to Prince Yan's Mansion.

On the way to Yuhe Garden, I kept encountering servants from the palace coming to greet me.

Jiang Yi was a little nervous but didn't show it on her face. When she saw Jiang Si standing at the gate of the courtyard, she immediately put aside all her emotions and walked quickly to meet him.

"Why do you come out instead of staying in the room?" Jiang Yi held Jiang Si's hand and said angrily.

Jiang Si smiled and said, "Big sister looks healthy."

Jiang Yi wanted to say something, but seeing that many people were waiting on the side, she swallowed her words silently and went into the house with Jiang Si.

She glanced around subconsciously.

The furnishings inside the house are simple yet exquisite. There are no flowers on the windowsills or other places. There is only a pot of green onion on the high table, with lush green stems and leaves hanging down.

Jiang Yi smiled and said, "Fourth sister is still the same as before."

The fact that she can still maintain her living habits after getting married shows that she lives a free and unrestrained life.

She felt relieved and held onto the ginger-like hand and asked, "Is the reaction big?"

"It's okay, I just can't eat anything, big sister, you don't have to worry about me."

Jiang Yi gave a few careful instructions and said of Jiang Ancheng: "The whole family is very happy, only my father is sad."

Jiang Si smiled lightly: "What is your worry, father?"

"He thinks you are still young. He is worried that you will suffer during childbirth because you are pregnant so early. He also said that he wants to talk to the prince about it."

Jiang Si stopped smiling and looked at Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi also calmed down.

After a while, Jiang Si asked, "Father, you still don't know about mother, right?"

Jiang Yi nodded.

Jiang Si was only one year old when Su passed away. Jiang Ancheng always thought that Su died because of the injuries she suffered while giving birth to her second daughter.

Therefore, when Jiang Ancheng heard that Jiang Si was pregnant so soon, he was more worried than happy.

"I have discussed this with your second brother. We will not tell father about mother's affairs. I am afraid he would not be able to bear it if he knew..."

Although birth, aging, sickness and death are sad, there is nothing we can do about them. However, the feeling of having a loved one killed by someone else is very different.

That kind of pain and anger can drive a person crazy, and Jiang Yi and her brother didn't want to see their father, who had finally calmed down, suffer again.

"Well, I'll listen to my elder sister and second brother on this matter."

Hearing Jiang Si say this, Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

The younger sister is a person with her own ideas. She was the one who discovered the truth about their mother's death. If she insisted on telling our father the truth, neither she nor her second brother could stop her.

Now it seems that she was worrying too much.

"My grandmother told me to tell you that you should not sleep in the same room with the prince when you are pregnant. Hurry up and pick two reliable people to serve the prince." Jiang Yi said, and raised the corner of her mouth, "Just listen to it, don't get angry."

Jiang Si sneered, "Grandma is used to worrying. My eldest sister went back and told Grandma that the rules of Xunchang Mansion would not work in the Wang Mansion, so she asked her not to worry."

Jiang Yi sighed: "Grandma really worries too much. From what I saw, she seemed to be planning to let cousin Dou become my father's second wife..."

Jiang Si raised his eyebrows slightly: "Did the elder sister see it?"

Jiang Yi smiled bitterly.

Although she was gentle in nature, she was not stupid. Every time my grandmother asked my father to come over, she would ask my cousin Dou to be present. How could she not see it? It was so obvious.

Jiang Yi said carefully, "Father has been single for many years, and he married a second wife to take care of him. As children, we should not interfere. But I don't think father has any intention of remarrying. If grandmother forces the two of them to live together, it might cause embarrassment... I didn't want to worry about this, but I can't say too much because of my status..."

Jiang Yi lives with her daughter at her parents' home, which means she is living under someone else's roof, so it's natural that she can't interfere in some matters.

Jiang Si thought for a moment and said, "Eldest sister, please come visit me some other day and ask cousin Dou to come along."

"Fourth sister, you——"

Jiang Si smiled and said, "Don't think too much, Sister. Cousin Dou is the elder. I won't eat her."

Having said that, she gently rubbed her brows and said calmly, "No need to wait until another day, come with cousin Dou tomorrow."

She still prefers to cut the Gordian knot rather than letting some avoidable upset things drag on until the last minute.

"Well, I will come with cousin Dou tomorrow."

The next day, a strong wind blew and the weather turned cold.

Jiang Yi and Dou Shuwan rode in the same carriage and arrived at the gate of Prince Yan's Mansion as agreed.

Compared to Jiang Yi's calmness, Dou Shuwan was much more nervous. After asking Jiang Si how she was, she stood there stiffly without saying a word.
