Everything before my eyes seemed unreal, like something out of a TV drama, yet it was all happening to me in real life.
When Heyue realized what was happening, she suddenly turned around and saw Prince Yong and the Thirteenth Prince standing behind her. Her heart sank.
She finally understood what was going on.
Why would Mr. Nian suddenly want to speak to her alone?
Why did Nian suddenly grab her like a madwoman and refuse to let go?
Why did Nian fall down on her own when I didn't touch her?
I see.
A bitter smile crept across He Yue's face.
I never imagined that the innocent and gentle Nian would have the cunning to harm others.
He Yue underestimated her.
What He Yue couldn't understand was why the Nian family would frame her.
What did I do to offend her?
Recalling her words, Heyue seemed to realize that something had gone wrong.
However, what exactly caused Mr. Nian to have such a misunderstanding?
Although she knew she had been framed, He Yue did not panic and watched the Nian family's performance with a cold eye.
Seeing her stand up pale-faced, trembling and hiding in the maid's arms, her timid gaze glanced at Heyue, then bypassed Heyue and saw Prince Yong behind Heyue, her eyes suddenly brightening.
Then, tears streamed down Nian's face. She weakly called out "Master" and then fell silent, lowering her head.
Even He Yue has to admire her acting skills.
They didn't complain, but their every move seemed as if they had suffered a great injustice.
It's impossible for others not to misunderstand.
Heyue looked at Thirteen and saw the trusting and reassuring look in Thirteen's eyes, and suddenly smiled.
Whatever others think, it's none of my business! As long as Thirteen always believes in himself, that's enough.
Heyue ignored Lady Nian and walked straight over to Prince Yong, bowing with a smile: "Fourth Brother."
As if nothing had just happened, there was no guilt, no embarrassment at being caught, no panic at the impending misunderstanding, and no explanation.
He simply walked over, took Thirteen's hand, smiled at him, and said nothing, yet everything was understood without words.
Thirteen looked at her stomach with concern.
He smiled reassuringly, indicating that everything was alright.
Thirteen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He Yue looked at Prince Yong with a calm and composed expression.
Prince Yong didn't look at He Yue, but went over and put his arm around Lady Nian, patted her shoulder gently, and comforted her: "Alright, you're weak. Have a maid take you back. I'll come to see you later."
He Yue exclaimed in surprise, realizing that her fourth brother truly had such a gentle side.
Fourth Brother truly loves Lady Nian.
Since there was no blame, it seems they believe in Nian.
Heyue was a little sad. After all, she had been pampered since childhood. The thought of being doubted by her fourth brother, who had always spoiled her, made her feel uneasy, but she quickly accepted it.
Nian was the woman favored by the fourth brother, and although Heyue was close to the fourth brother, they were not related by blood. No matter how much he loved her, how could it compare to the suffering of his own woman?
Lady Nian glanced at Heyue, then quickly lowered her eyelids, looking extremely frightened. She obediently hummed in agreement and was helped back by her maid.
After Nian left, He Yue didn't offer any explanation, which was also unnecessary.
The wet nurse returned carrying the three children, who seemed frightened by what had just happened and were confused about what had occurred.
He patted the three children's heads reassuringly: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
Tongxuan leaned over, hugged Heyue's neck, kissed Heyue on the cheek, and her big eyes glistened with tears: "Mother, don't be afraid."
He Yue smiled slightly, pinched Tong Xuan's little nose, and was deeply moved.
Indeed, children are the best; they are always the most considerate.
Seeing her fourth brother approach with a dark expression, Heyue met his gaze without fear.
Hmph, so what if I get a scolding? What's there to be afraid of?
Prince Yong glared at Heyue and asked with a sneer, "Don't you have anything to say?"
Heyue blinked innocently: "What are you talking about? What's there to say? Didn't Fourth Brother see it all?"
Prince Yong's face grew even more somber, and he returned to the front courtyard without uttering a word.
Thirteen put his arm around Heyue's waist and shook his head: "You!"
He Yue looked bewildered. What's wrong? Everyone's like this.
Wasn't the point to question them? What's going on here?
Thirteen offered no explanation, and led Heyue back to the front yard.
Heyue learned from Thirteen that it was because she hadn't been back for a long time that Thirteen said he wanted to come and visit, and also to see Fourth Sister-in-law.
Unfortunately, I happened to witness the scene from just now.
As soon as Heyue arrived at the study door, she heard Prince Yong instruct Su Peisheng: "Go and fetch the doctor!"
Thirteen carefully helped Heyue sit down in a chair, his brows furrowed, and asked, "Are you really alright?"
He Yue said helplessly, "I already told you it's nothing, don't you believe me?"
Thirteen complained, "Who knew that Nian Shi was so strong back then?"
Heyue opened her eyes wide.
Thirteen is getting bolder and bolder by speaking ill of Fourth Brother's beloved woman in front of him.
To everyone's surprise, the fourth brother did not refute. He stood with his hands behind his back by the window, looking out in silence.
Heyue asked Thirteen with her eyes what was going on.
Thirteen rolled his eyes. How would he know?
The doctor arrived quickly, took Heyue's pulse, and said that the fetus was very healthy and there were no problems.
Thirteen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After reading this, is there anything Heyue still unclear about?
If Fourth Brother really thought that Heyue deliberately pushed Nian Shi down, why would he have called a doctor to examine her pulse immediately?
Instead of going to see Nian Shi first, he was here watching the doctor take He Yue's pulse. It goes without saying what Fourth Brother meant.
