Ah Shou was very angry.
Ah Shou didn't want to pay attention to Jiang Xuelin anymore and decided to go to sleep.
Even though he was very angry, he didn't remove his hand from Jiang Xuelin's stomach.
The two little ones inside were indeed very active, kicking again after a short while, perhaps because they knew their father was looking for them.
Feeling the movement under his hands, Fu Hanlai didn't speak, but he whispered to the two little ones in his heart, advising them to behave themselves and not cause trouble, otherwise his temper as their father wouldn't be so good.
Oh, by the way, their mother has an even worse temper.
So you two should be careful.
The next morning, Fu Hanlai had a rare good night's sleep. When he opened his eyes, it was already bright outside. Remembering that he had said he would explain to Princess Ping the night before, he immediately got up and started to get up.
Jiang Xuelin had already tidied herself up.
She was quite sleepy at first, but now she has returned to normal and seems to be fine, eating and drinking well.
While most women's complexion is affected by pregnancy, Jiang Xuelin's was completely unaffected. Her complexion was rosy, and her skin was in excellent condition. Princess Ping privately told her nanny that it might be because she had two delicate and adorable granddaughters.
—Ideally, she should be delicate and soft!
Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai had some breakfast in their own courtyard before going to the main courtyard together. When they arrived, Princess Ping had just come out of the small Buddhist hall, still carrying the scent of sandalwood.
"Didn't I tell you not to come over to pay your respects? Lin'er, you're feeling unwell right now, so you should just rest in Qiutang Courtyard. If there's anything you need, just have a servant come and let me know. Why bother coming in person?"
Princess Ping was very worried about her six-month-old belly.
"It's alright, Mother. It won't affect anything. The imperial physician already said that it would be best for my daughter-in-law to move around more. It's difficult for her to stay still all the time."
You need to move around more, otherwise it will be difficult to give birth, especially since Jiang Xuelin is having twins.
Princess Ping asked the nanny to bring Jiang Xuelin a cushion so she could lean back in the chair and not get too tired. Then she looked at Fu Hanlai, her gaze instantly becoming sharp.
Princess Ping didn't believe in Buddhism before, but she became a believer after Jiang Xuelin became pregnant. Before, when she was in Lingcheng, she would pray every day and offer incense to the Bodhisattva. She even asked her nanny to prepare a small Buddhist shrine in advance and enshrine several Bodhisattvas in it.
She had just offered incense to each of those bodhisattvas.
First, I pray that Jiang Xuelin and the baby in her womb will be safe and sound. Second, I pray that Fu Hanlai will not cause trouble at this juncture and will be more composed. Third, I pray that both children, whose genders are currently unknown, will have composed personalities.
No more troublemakers! No more troublemakers! No more troublemakers!
When offering incense to each Bodhisattva, Princess Ping would silently recite this phrase several times in her heart.
One Bodhisattva might not be effective, so pray to several more and offer incense to several more Bodhisattvas; surely one of them will work—this was the extremely simple idea of Princess Ping.
Princess Ping never expected that her own son would so quickly reject her second request.
“Mother, Jiang Xuelin is now quite far along in her pregnancy. She doesn’t like having other people around at night, and she can’t rest well if there are servants around. I’m worried about her, which is why I’ve been trying to stay by her side.”
Jiang Xuelin, who had been watching the commotion, stopped abruptly upon hearing this.
She admitted that she wasn't a good person. Although this matter concerned her, that didn't stop her from joining in and watching Fu Ashou's misfortune, did it? But she never expected to hear Fu Ashou say these words.
No, it's not that I didn't hear it.
In fact, Jiang Xuelin had sensed Fu Hanlai's anxiety since she became pregnant, and this anxiety grew rapidly after the imperial physician confirmed that she was carrying twins.
She genuinely didn't feel anything was wrong, so she acted as usual, hoping that Fu Hanlai would act as usual as well. Unfortunately, the effect wasn't very good. Fu Ashou seemed to have a heart hanging in the balance every day, wishing he could always be around her.
This feeling... is like having a pet raccoon, and an extremely clingy yet extremely proud one at that.
"...That was my courtyard and my room, but I was driven away." Fu Hanlai said, still feeling aggrieved.
Oh no, he got kicked out!
Isn't this another form of usurping someone else's place?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuelin couldn't help but nod in agreement.
—That's right, that's the kind of thing Fu Hanlai should say.
Princess Ping listened without showing any emotion. Only after Fu Hanlai finished his long-winded explanation did she speak, "You still haven't told me how you got to the main house."
Fu Hanlai: "..."
He scratched his cheek awkwardly.
—Because I'm incredibly smart!
If he had known he would be exposed on the first night, he wouldn't have let Kangtai send someone back to dig the secret passage that day.
He really didn't expect that, according to his own plan, he would go to the main room to rest through the secret passage every night and leave through the secret passage in the morning, ensuring that no one would know.
As for whether Jiang Xuelin would cooperate, Fu Hanlai had no doubt about that.
But at that time, he would never have imagined that he would be exposed on the very first night.
If he had known this beforehand, why would he have gone to so much trouble?
However, under the sharp gaze of Princess Ping, Fu Hanlai dared not lie and could only tell the truth, while glaring at Jiang Xuelin as he spoke.
—You're still watching the show!
Jiang Xuelin: Smiling.jpg
"...Son, when you asked me to sleep in a separate room, I sent a letter back to the capital and arranged for Ling Chun to secretly dig a secret passage between the small study in Qiutang Courtyard and the main house."
Princess Ping: "..."
She knew it!
