Chapter 578 Sending them off from Yanzhou!
Liu was stunned when she heard this!
"What did you say? The Prince has been making you take medicine? Ah Nuan, are you stupid? Do you know your status? If you can't have a child soon, your position will be extremely dangerous. What is the Prince's intention? Since he dotes on you and doesn't take concubines, why does he still make you take medicine and not allow you to have a child?"
Seeing Liu's anxious expression, Mu Xin Nuan knew that she had misunderstood.
“Aunt, don’t worry, it’s not what you think. In fact, he and I take turns using the medicine, one month each. It won’t harm our bodies. Moreover, I haven’t taken any medicine for the past two months, and the prince has stopped taking his as well.”
Liu still seemed not to understand. "Anuan, why can't you hear the point I'm making? If the Prince truly dotes on you, why wouldn't he let you have his child? Could it be that he's still thinking about other women?"
Mu Xin Nuan was both amused and exasperated. "Aunt, it's really not what you think. You're overthinking it. He was just worried that my body was too weak and he couldn't handle it. He didn't mean anything else. Besides, as I just said, we've stopped using that contraceptive."
Liu was stunned for a moment before she realized what he meant. "You mean you've stopped taking the medication and he's agreed to let you have his child?"
“Of course!” Mu Xin Nuan nodded heavily, then took her arm and smiled, “Aunt, you don’t need to worry, he treats me very well. This time, regarding the matter of having offspring, it was indeed for my sake. I myself am a practitioner of medicine, so I naturally know that early pregnancy is not good for a woman’s health, and it increases the chances of a difficult childbirth.”
Liu looked at her with some skepticism, and after a while sighed softly, "Forget it. I don't understand or care about the affairs of you young people. Do as you please."
"Aunt, you should go back first. The Prince should be back soon. It would be better for you to spend some time with your eldest cousin-in-law."
Liu then came out of Yijing Garden. All the way, her mind seemed to be not working properly. She kept thinking that the prince really cared about his wife, which was why he had been unwilling to let Anuan get pregnant.
However, she said they have stopped taking the medication now, and she might get pregnant soon.
As Liu thought this, she gradually felt more at ease, and her steps became more brisk and nimble.
That day, Mu Xin Nuan heard a servant report that Lu Shao Feng and his wife Liu Shi had finished packing. Now that Lu Shao Hua was also married, there were people in the mansion helping Madam Lu with the arrangements. The couple were preparing to take their child to Yu County.
Upon hearing the news, Mu Xin Nuan naturally went to see him off.
The maid who was sent back to the palace last year later suffered a miscarriage because she accidentally twisted her ankle while walking.
When Lu Shaofeng found out, he simply had some tonics prepared and sent to her, without saying anything more.
The girl cried fiercely, but unfortunately, she was alone in the courtyard at the time, and the eldest young mistress was not with her. Even if she wanted to frame the eldest young mistress, she had no grounds to do so.
In any case, she is still Lu Shaofeng's woman.
This time, having recovered her health, she naturally accompanied them.
When Mu Xin Nuan arrived at the city gate, Liu Shi was holding her child and looking around expectantly, clearly waiting for her.
"You've finally arrived. I thought you were too busy at home to get away." Madam Liu stepped forward affectionately, and the little baby in her arms rushed towards Mu Xinnuan.
It's perfectly normal that Liu often brought her son to keep Mu Xinnuan company and became somewhat familiar with her.
Gao Chunhua looked at him and chuckled, "This little boy is quite the ladies' man. Seeing how beautiful the princess is, he always wants her to hold him. I've seen him quite a few times, but I've never seen him ask me to hold him."
Liu glared at her and laughed, "You have such a sharp tongue. I didn't think you were so eloquent before, but now you certainly are."
Gao Chunhua just chuckled lightly, her high, protruding belly making one feel somewhat worried.
Mu Xin Nuan frowned slightly, "You're already so far along in your pregnancy, why are you still coming out? Aren't you afraid of hurting the baby again?"
"What's the big deal? It's so close to the residence, and didn't the Princess see how many people were following me? Sister Liu is leaving, and we don't know when she'll be back, so of course we had to come and see her off to put our minds at ease."
Mu Xin Nuan smiled and shook her head, saying somewhat helplessly, "Later, after you give birth, you can come to the Prince's Mansion more often, and we can discuss parenting with my eldest cousin-in-law."
Mu Xin Nuan noticed that Lu's new wife, He Xiang Ling, had also brought them here.
"Alright, it's getting late. If we don't leave soon, we'll be late for our journey again. Sister Liu, you must take care of yourself while you're away. Fortunately, Yu County isn't too far from here. Perhaps I'll go there sometime in the future when I have the time."
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
Watching the carriages slowly move forward, Mu Xin Nuan didn't feel much.
Although Lu Shaofeng has no intention of taking a concubine now, in her opinion, if Liu does not know how to protect this relationship, it is only a matter of time before he takes a concubine.
Mu Xin Nuan sighed helplessly. Looking at Gao Chun Hua's rosy face, she had to admit that although she hadn't received the same excellent upbringing as Liu Shi, she was probably no less capable than Liu Shi in terms of being a good wife and mother.
At least in Gao Chunhua's view, unless her husband mentions it, she would never take the initiative to prepare any concubines for him.
That kind of woman is a smart woman.
Her husband had no such intention to begin with, so why should she do this on purpose just to appear generous and understanding? Although Liu is still Lu Shaofeng's only wife, if she doesn't become more resourceful, Lu Shaofeng will probably bring in a concubine sooner or later.
"Someone, arrange for some men to escort Madam Fang back to her residence. Be careful on the way."
"Yes, princess."
Gao Chunhua initially wanted to decline, but upon seeing Mu Xinnuan's persistent gaze, he could only smile, give her a slight curtsy, and, with the help of a maid, board the carriage and return to the mansion.
Gao Chunhua herself never expected that the outcome of their trip to Yanzhou would be so drastically different.
She had married Fang Heng, a military general, who was gentle and considerate towards her. At least now, despite the hardships of her pregnancy, he had never considered finding another woman to make him feel comfortable.
One died, and the other was living a life worse than death.
Gao Chunhua sighed deeply inside the carriage. A person's fate is indeed unpredictable.
Mu Xin Nuan also brought people back to the manor. Lately, she has been feeling rather weak, it seems she has become a bit lazy.
