Respect? He seemed to respect her a lot, treating her with utmost gentleness and doting on her, but he would also stab her in the back unexpectedly, each time when she softened her heart, he would stab her hard, each stab fatal, causing her excruciating pain.
Normally, she might have been able to hold back and force herself to swallow all the bitterness. But a woman who has just given birth and gone through great pain is especially vulnerable. Even the smallest things can be magnified. When faced with such a major event, she simply couldn't bear it. Her anger had nowhere to go, and it made her eyes sting and her throat ache.
Even though she kept her face turned to the side, he could still clearly see that her chin was trembling slightly and her eyes were glistening with tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Upon seeing this, Hongli panicked and reached out to hold her hand, "Yushan, what's wrong with you?"
She flung him away, refusing to let him touch her, clearly showing she was angry.
Hongli pondered for a long time but still couldn't figure out what he had done to offend her. Anxious, he patiently and gently inquired...
"Why are your eyes so red? Is something on your mind? My nanny told me that women are especially sensitive after giving birth. If I've done anything wrong or something doesn't suit you, just tell me. Don't keep it to yourself and torture yourself."

She wanted to let bygones be bygones regarding what the nanny had mentioned, but she wasn't sophisticated enough.

She also didn't want to keep her resentment bottled up inside, risking postpartum complications and making herself suffer.

Li Yu was waiting outside. Upon hearing the sound, he immediately went inside, but did not dare to enter the inner room. He stood outside the curtain and said, "This servant is here. Please give your orders, Princess."
"Please, Eunuch Li, pour me a cup of water. Do it yourself, don't ask someone else to do it for you. Make sure it's cold, not hot."
Li Yu was, after all, Hongli's man, and Su Yushan would never specifically order him to do anything, but today's matter had to be handled by Li Yu.
Li Yu was puzzled, but still complied, "Yes, this servant will go right away, please wait a moment, Princess."
Hongli's eyes flashed with surprise, but he didn't know what she was trying to do.
