Fu Hanlai certainly wouldn't rest on the soft couch, and Princess Ping didn't say anything more.
Lady Jing'an is coming today. After all, she hasn't seen Jiang Xuelin for several months, and since Mr. Jiang Xuelin is pregnant, how could she not miss him? That's why she sent her visiting card as soon as she returned yesterday.
Jiang Xuelin hadn't seen Lady Jing'an for a long time, and was quite impatient, so she left after only sitting for a short while.
Lady Jing'an Marquis didn't keep Jiang Xuelin waiting for long before she arrived at Qiutang Courtyard, led by a maid.
Seeing Jiang Xuelin standing there smiling with her pregnant belly, Lady Jing'an, whom she hadn't seen for almost half a year, burst into tears instantly.
When she first heard that Jiang Xuelin was pregnant, she was extremely frightened. The baby is extremely vulnerable in the first three months, yet Jiang Xuelin was traveling long distances and going out hunting and riding horses every day under such conditions.
So when they met, she first inquired about Jiang Xuelin's health, and then Lady Jing'an began to scold her.
Starting with Jiang Xuelin, the reprimands continued down to the two maids who followed her; almost everyone was scolded.
This includes Granny Cai, who did not follow the past.
Jiang Xue was already more than a month pregnant when she set off, and even though Granny Cai was experienced, she didn't notice.
Everyone obediently lowered their heads and listened to the reprimand, no one tried to exonerate themselves, feeling that they were innocent.
Jiang Xuelin didn't like taking the pulse, and the servants let her do as she pleased. But since her period hadn't started, Granny Cai should have been more attentive. However, she failed to do so in time. Although both the mother and child are fine now, the Lady of Jing'an Marquis still needs to give her a good talking-to.
"...Don't let her have her way with everything!"
The crowd, heads bowed in remorse, replied, "...Yes."
As Fu Hanlai watched Lady Jing'an reprimand her with full force, even Jiang Xuelin dared not make any small moves, his heart was also in his throat.
When Lady Jing'an's gaze finally fell on him, she jumped up with a start and strode out.
“Mother-in-law, I suddenly remembered that Yu Bo sent a message saying he wanted to see me at the shop today. He has some questions for me, but I'm running late, so I'll head over now. Please keep Lin'er company while I go—”
He was incredibly fast, disappearing in the blink of an eye without daring to stop.
Ping An hadn't reacted yet when she met Lady Jing'an's gaze. She gave a guilty smile and quickly followed her out.
Lady Jing'an: "..."
With such a loving husband, it's no wonder that Lin'er is getting better and better as she gets older. The two of them together don't look like a newlywed couple who are about to become parents; they are clearly two children who only care about playing!
He looked helplessly at Jiang Xuelin, who was still nervous because of the scolding she had just received.
"...It's none of my business, it's all Fu Ashou's fault!"
Lady Jing'an: "..."
That feeling of feeling particularly sorry for Princess Ping, yet also vaguely relieved, returned.
Raising such a daughter... is certainly not what she wanted!
This is all the fault of our Marquis. He spoils Lin'er too much. He really didn't intend to arrange a marriage with the Prince of Ping's mansion with the intention of framing someone.
Looking at her son-in-law who had just slipped away, then at her daughter with a pregnant belly in front of her, and finally thinking about the two children in her daughter's belly... she felt so worried for Princess Ping. She had three daughters-in-law, and in another half month she would have four. She felt that none of them were as troubled as Princess Ping.
After dismissing the servants, only Jiang Xuelin and Lady Jing'an, the wife of the Marquis of Jing'an, and their daughter remained in the room. Lady Jing'an then began to ask some private questions.
About Fu Hanlai, about Princess Ping, and about Jiang Xuelin herself.
She knew from that day that the marriage was excellent, and now, seeing her daughter's good complexion, she felt even more relieved. Along with the relief, she also gave her a reminder.
She hoped that Jiang Xuelin would always be so carefree and comfortable, but she was also afraid that if she didn't care too much about what others thought, she would ruin her good hand. Only Princess Ping could probably understand her thoughts.
Jiang Xuelin wasn't ungrateful. She had seen how kind Princess Ping was to her and how much Fu Hanlai cared for her. She understood what the Lady of Jing'an Marquis was saying.
“You are already over six months pregnant, and it will be more difficult with two children, and the delivery date will be earlier. So we won’t prepare a midwife; we’ll leave it to the Princess, who will take care of everything.”
It wasn't that Lady Jing'an didn't care, but rather that it was best to leave this matter to Princess Ping.
Of course, she wanted to prepare the best and most suitable midwife herself, but doing so would be seen by others as a sign of distrust towards Princess Ping. The Lady of Jing'an Marquis did this simply to tell Princess Ping that the Jiang family could entrust their daughter to the Prince Ping's mansion with peace of mind.
Princess Ping will feel more at ease, which will be beneficial for Jiang Xuelin's future.
Of course, Lady Jing'an was also aware that Princess Ping would definitely take this matter very seriously, so there was really no need for the Jing'an Marquis's residence to go to such lengths.
Fearing that Jiang Xuelin might be too naive to understand anything, she had to break everything down and explain it to her in detail.
"Mother, I know everything. My mother treats me very well, so please don't worry," Jiang Xuelin said, leaning against Lady Jing'an.
It has been more than a year since she married Fu Hanlai, but she has never suffered any grievances. The Princess Consort and her husband are both very good people. Sometimes she even feels that they are not much different from when she was in the Jing'an Marquis's mansion.
And she knew just how rare this was.
Lady Jing'an patted her on the back and stayed with her for a while before leaving. However, she did not leave the Prince's residence but went to Princess Ping's place and had a few more words with her.
Because of what happened this morning, Fu Hanlai didn't dare to go back to the Prince's Mansion. Asking questions would make him a bit cowardly. Besides, he really needed to check on the "Heavenly Sun Shines Brightly" project. There wasn't much big news for the time being, but the people of the capital were used to buying a copy every time they wanted to keep an eye on things, so things were pretty stable.
While it's impossible to expect all officials to be strict with themselves and adhere to their duties as a result, it is undeniably a shackle for them.
Fu Hanlai had been away for several months. Although he had maintained communication with people in the capital, he still needed to come and find out more in person.
Then he ran into Fan Yundi in the shop, who was grinning from ear to ear.
Fu Hanlai: "?"
Upon seeing him, Fan Yundi immediately came up and grabbed him, "Young Master, I heard that the Princess Consort is pregnant? Congratulations, Young Master!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Hanlai couldn't help but smile.
He didn't want to, but he couldn't help it!
Before he could even open his mouth, Fan Yundi continued speaking.
"Oh, what a coincidence, my wife is also pregnant."
"Oh? That's quite a coincidence, congratulations!"
"How many months pregnant is the Crown Princess? My lady is already over three months pregnant!"
"The Crown Princess..."
"My wife..."
"The Crown Princess..."
"My wife..."
"The Crown Princess..."
Yu Bo, who was listening nearby, was speechless.
Don't act like you're the only ones with children!
I didn't say anything about my daughter and my wife!
