Chapter 820, Luo Qiong is pregnant
That night, when Xiao Yeyang came back, Daohua thought about it and decided to tell him her guess.
"Luo Qiong is cheating on me?!"
Xiao Yeyang was shocked.
Daohua quickly covered his mouth and said, "Keep your voice down. This is just my suspicion."
Xiao Yeyang grabbed Daohua's hand, his face still filled with shock and disbelief.
Yes, he and Xiao Yechen are incompatible, and he is willing to see him get into trouble, but the premise is that Prince Ping's Mansion should not be involved. If Luo Qiong really cheats on her, it will not only be Xiao Yechen who will be embarrassed, but also the entire Prince Ping's Mansion.
Daohua patted Xiao Yeyang's chest, signaling him to calm down: "Duke Wei's Mansion still hasn't found anything?"
When this was mentioned, Xiao Yeyang's face turned even worse. If the people who provided the information were not Dong Yuanyao and Sun Changze, he almost thought that he was being fooled.
Daohua: "Isn't it said that many wealthy families have secret passages? Could the Duke of Wei's Mansion also have such a secret passage, and then they successfully deceived the people you sent to follow them?"
Xiao Yeyang frowned. "If that's the case, it will be even harder to find evidence against the Duke of Wei. Also, I suspect those barbarians Sun Changze mentioned may have already left the capital."
Daohua pondered for a moment, "What do you think those barbarians are doing in Beijing? They must have a purpose, right?"
Xiao Yeyang narrowed his eyes: "Yes, this is something I really want to know."
Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang and said, "Do you remember? When Yuan Yao assassinated Luo Hongyuan, Luo Hongyuan said that the Luo family would be confiscated and exiled sooner or later. What do you think? Is the Weiguo Mansion really colluding with the Western Liao people and secretly plotting treason?"
Xiao Yeyang: ".Evidence, there must be evidence, otherwise, the Emperor's uncle wouldn't really accuse the Duke of Wei of the Weiguo Mansion based on just a few words from Sun Changze and Miss Dong."
Daohua: "It would be great if we could catch those barbarians."
After that, Daohua became more and more concerned about the news from Chenyuan. However, Luo Qiong acted very cautiously, and apart from returning to Weiguo Mansion every few days, there was nothing unusual.
Pingji followed carefully several times but found nothing.
“Ugh~”
In Chenyuan, Luo Qiong drank a bowl of seafood porridge in the morning and kept vomiting. The maids were frightened and hurried to call a doctor.
Luo Qiong suddenly thought of something and hurriedly stopped the maid. She said with a pale face, "I forgot. I'm allergic to shrimp. I have pills at home. I'll just take two later and I won't need to see a doctor."
After sending the extra maids out of the room, and when only the personal maids Xue Qiao and Xue Ling were left, Luo Qiong continued to retch with a pale face.
Xue Qiao and Xue Ling were maids specially trained by the Duke's Mansion to accompany the bride. Seeing their daughter like this, they gradually began to have some guesses in their minds.
"Girl, are you pregnant?"
The two maids' faces turned pale. Since the beginning of the new year, the girl and her husband have not slept together. How did this child come about?
Luo Qiong's eyes were also a little panicked, and the hand that was stroking her belly tightly grasped her clothes, but after a while, she calmed down: "Get ready, let's go back to the mansion."
Xueqiao and Xueling looked at each other hesitantly.
"Miss, the princess is a little dissatisfied with you coming back home so often recently. Last time..."
Luo Qiong sneered, "So what if she's dissatisfied? Can she still ask Xiao Yechen to divorce me? Go prepare the carriage."
At the palace gate, Daohua had just returned from a tea party hosted by Kang Naixin and happened to meet Luo Qiong who was going back to her mother's home.
Seeing the rice flowers, Luo Qiong looked a little unnatural. He said hello hurriedly and left in the carriage.
"Why are you back at the Duke of Wei's mansion again? Didn't you just go back two days ago?"
Daohua looked at the departing carriage in confusion, was silent for a while, then turned around and returned home.
"Miss, the second lady's wedding is coming soon. Isn't it time to prepare the gifts for her dowry?" Wang Man'er reminded.
Daohua was silent for a moment. Yan Yihan, the second wife's family, was quite polite and sensible. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Go to the storehouse and choose a set of ruby headpieces, a few festive pieces of jewelry, and some red silk for your wedding."
Wang Man'er nodded in agreement, thought for a moment, and then shook her head, saying, "Speaking of which, the Second and Fourth Miss have been with the Master and his wife for many years and have received a lot of care. The Second Miss is fine, she doesn't cause trouble and knows her limits, but the Fourth Miss is a bit disappointing, she doesn't know how to be grateful at all."
Daohua looked over and asked, "What's up? What's wrong with Yile again?"
Wang Man'er curled her lips and said, "Didn't the young lady ask Guyu to go back and deliver something to the old lady and the madam a few days ago? Guyu came back and told me that the fourth young lady seemed a little dissatisfied with the dowry prepared by the madam."
After hearing this, Daohua sneered, "You ungrateful thing!"
Wang Man'er nodded. "That's right. Madam has prepared a total of sixty-four sets of dowry for the second young lady, and each set is packed with treasures. What family can afford such a thing?"
Daohua sneered, "Aren't Second Uncle and Second Aunt going to Beijing to get married? Since Yan Yile is not satisfied with the dowry prepared by her mother, then let her biological parents prepare the dowry for her when she gets married."
As he said this, he looked at Wang Maner.
"Yile's wedding is scheduled for September. Remember to remind me that I will take my grandmother and mother to live in the village for a while and let them deal with it on their own."
Wang Maner smiled and wrote it down.
Afterwards, Daohua dealt with some matters in Pingxitang. In the evening, when she went to deliver a pot of chicken soup to Prince Ping, she saw Luo Qiong returning home again.
Compared to the panic when he left the house, Luo Qiong was calm at this moment. If you looked closely, you could see a hint of joy between his eyebrows.
Seeing this, Daohua became more and more certain that something was wrong with Luo Qiong.
March 25th is the day Yan Yihan gets married.
Daohua sent the dowry back one day in advance, and returned to Yan's Mansion with Xiao Yeyang that day.
After dinner, the two returned to the palace.
In the carriage, Xiao Yeyang hugged Daohua and said, "Your second uncle and second aunt have changed a lot. I remember that although your second uncle was not very likable before, he was also tactful and had good judgment. But now he is too..." As he said that, he shook his head.
Daohua: "The environment shapes people. Don't you think about who my uncle and aunt interact with all day back home? Even the local gentry can't compare with the powerful officials in the capital."
Xiao Yeyang: "Fortunately, your second brother is now able to set up his own household."
Daohua sighed and said, "Fortunately, grandma was sensible and divided the family property early on."
Xiao Yeyang asked again: "By the way, it seems to me that my mother-in-law is deliberately ignoring your sister-in-law?"
Daohua snorted. "On the surface, Yan Yile's marriage to the Fang family seems like the Yan family marrying up, but in reality, the Fang family has some ulterior motives. Especially my eldest sister-in-law's sister. Yile was caught having a tryst with the second son of the Fang family at the Yongqing Earl's Mansion. There must be something fishy going on."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and pinched Daohua's nose: "Okay, don't be angry, do you want me to help you teach Yongqing Marquis Mansion a lesson?"
Daohua shook her head: "You don't need to take action on such a small matter. I know how to deal with it."
