"Little darling, do you have any manners?" Jue Luo Shi couldn't stand Little darling's unruly behavior and scolded him directly.
The two nannies sent from the palace frowned. Consort Tong also said, "Do whatever makes Xiao Guai comfortable. We can't let Xiao Guai's body be overburdened just because of the rules."
With Consort Tong's decree, the two of them turned a blind eye to the scene of Yin and Qingyan being intimate.
“Mother…” Qingyan got up, her little mouth slightly smiling.
"Sit down first." Yin couldn't bring himself to call his mother-in-law "Mother-in-law," and his tone was icy. "Little darling, lean back and don't move!"
Lady Jue Luo keenly noticed a significant change in Yin's attitude towards her, with two palace maids standing beside them. What does Consort Tong mean?
When Lady Yin Genjue was pregnant, Consort Hui had Lady Yin Genjue personally take care of her. Moreover, Yin also took in two girls from Lady Yin Genjue's family. After Lady Yin Genjue found out, she kept looking for a concubine's daughter for Qingyan in her family.
"Little darling, have you seen the rules for the Princess Consort of the Prince Zhi before giving birth?" Lady Jue Luo brought a nanny and two very beautiful girls with her.
Qingyan lost interest as soon as she saw it, and her face darkened. Does her mother feel bad if she doesn't upset her?
“Lady Ulanara, that’s not the rule, elder brother. The royal family has no rule about allowing the Fujin’s family to send people away!” Yin’s cold gaze made the two people brought by Jue Luo Shi tremble.
Qingyan looked up and saw that the two girls were only sixteen years old. They probably knew that it was the residence of the Fourth Prince, so they changed to bright red, which was only used during the New Year.
"You don't even know the rules, Mother! How can a gift be made in bright red?" Qingyan smiled coldly. Every time her mother hurt her, it broke her heart.
"You two are so unruly! Drag Su Peisheng out and give him 20 lashes!" Yin didn't even give the two girls a glance.
"Wait, little darling, these two aren't for you, they're just your cousins who came to play!" Jue Luo Shi realized the problem and quickly protected the two girls, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to explain it.
Qingyan was taken aback. They weren't brought into the mansion. As soon as they entered, they began to scrutinize the main hall, looking at her as if she were dead, while their eyes shone as they looked at Yin.
"Mother, are they legitimate daughters?" Can the Jue Luo clan place two legitimate daughters by Yin's side?
Jue Luo felt instantly caught in a dilemma. These two sets of clothes were prepared by Jue Luo's sister-in-law. She had been fooled and had even forgotten about these rules.
The two girls instantly realized what they had done wrong and felt a little flustered. Their stepmother had said that after they came here, they would have to follow Lady Ulanara to the Fourth Prince's residence, and the lady's words carried great weight.
"Little darling, your mother is doing this for your own good. These two are still very well-behaved!" Jue Luo Shi said to Little darling, unwilling to give up.
"Well-behaved?! I didn't see that coming. But I did see that she was unruly. Judging by her age, she should be a candidate for the imperial concubine selection, right?" One of the candidates for the imperial concubine selection from the Jue Luo clan has been betrothed, while the other two have been rejected.
Jue Luo was in a dilemma. If she said yes, Yin would definitely look down on her even more, and Qingyan would feel that she was insulting Yin. If she said no, it would be obviously deceiving the Emperor.
“Cousin, I am the legitimate daughter. How is my status different from yours?” one of them retorted, her statement completely contradicting what her stepmother had said.
Before the selection process, she was already registered under her stepmother's name, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a legitimate daughter.
"Hmm, the Jue Luo family has good manners. A concubine's daughter registered under the name of the legitimate wife is pretending to be the legitimate daughter!" Yin coldly uttered a sentence, and the Jue Luo family instantly felt all their strength drain away.
He looked at Jue Luo Shi and said, "Mother-in-law, how do you plan to have Xiao Guai help Jue Luo Shi? This family doesn't rely on the men to fight on the battlefield; they've always relied on the daughter's tragic fate to gain wealth and status. How long can such wealth last?!"
Jue Luo was instantly deflated. Her family was just like that. Regardless of whether her daughter was willing or not, as long as it could secure a future for their offspring, they would marry her off no matter who the other person was.
Fortunately, Fei Yanggu is a good person; otherwise, she would have repeated the tragedy of her elder sister.
"Mother, you go back first, I'll come find you again in a few days." Qingyan felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, placed her left hand on her stomach, and large drops of sweat dripped from her forehead.
Seeing this situation, Yin felt extremely distressed. Xiao Guai was always the one who would take on any matter concerning the Jue Luo clan.
Knowing she was in the wrong, Jue Luo knew that if she made any further moves, Fei Yanggu would not let her off the hook.
"Yes, my little darling, take good care of yourself!" Jue Luo Shi was perceptive enough to read the room. "If you're not feeling well, call the imperial physician immediately!"
Jue Luo understood Yin's wariness towards her, so she left with the two unruly boys first.
"Fourth Brother, don't make things difficult for your mother, my stomach hurts!" the experienced one said softly.
"Su Peisheng, have Imperial Physician Yuan and Physician Yan come over. Tell Mother-in-law not to let those two girls go home!" Yin was worried that the two girls would harm Qingyan in order to enter the mansion.
Seeing his wife's condition, Su Peisheng didn't dare to delay. He immediately ran to fetch the imperial physician and instructed his local official to quickly inform Lady Ulanara, lest he displease his master, or else there would be serious problems.
When Jue Luo saw Xiao Sula running quickly from the courtyard, she felt a little panicked. Would Qing Yan be alright?
"Madam, Fourth Master has instructed you not to release the two princesses back to the manor yet, but to await his orders," Xiao Sula whispered to Jue Luo Shi.
The two girls, unaware of what was happening, could only watch as Jue Luo scrutinized their clothing. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
