Jin Wang didn't continue to speak any further. After all, it was his fault that caused her to misunderstand.

What a silly girl. He said they were important, so she restrained her anger. If this was changed to someone else, not to mention having given birth to the eldest son of Jin Wang Manor, just based on the fact that they were pregnant, they would've kicked up a huge fuss and not suffered this loss.

But in the end, she simply didn't want him to feel uncomfortable being sandwiched in the middle. After all, this was his maternal grandfather's home.

His heart suddenly softened, but he was still a bit unhappy. His own woman and child had suffered for nothing and it wasn't like he could go back in time to do something about it. There was also a feeling of hating the iron for not turning to steel. Why was she so soft? Couldn't she learn from those methods of others? He was even more angered with Consort Jin. Who asked her to act dead? With her methods, she had thousands of ways to make the other party speechless and swallow back their words and at the same time be unable to pick out any mistakes. Yet she dared to simply watch from the side!

Like what Fucheng had thought in the past, if the heart was partial, then it was partial. By then, everything would seem to be a mistake.

Jin Wang, whose heart was heavily biased, said in an irritated tone, “Why are you so stupid? If she scolds you, scold her back! It's not like the sky will collapse! Even if it collapses, this prince, who is taller than you, will hold it up.”

“She's an elder. For me to scold her would be disrespectful.”

“There are also elders who are disrespectful despite their old age. Will you still suffer in silence too?” Jin Wang squinted at her.

Yaoniang's thick eyelashes fluttered. She secretly peered up at him from below, “Then Your Highness means I don't have to suffer?”

“En. You don't have to suffer.”

Yaoniang couldn't help but lean over towards him, “Then from now on, whoever scolds me, I won't hold back. Except for Your Highness”

Seeing her charming little face, Jin Wang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Then in an unfathomable tone, he said, “En. Just tell this prince about it.”

“If others scold me, then I'll retaliate!”

“Retaliate! Only this prince can scold you. No one else can!”

Xiaobao, who had returned to his senses, felt helpless. Comparing his previous thoughts to this kind of scene was simply a joke. What a waste of his worry.

At the same time, Consort Jin was not in a good mood.

Actually, she was in a bad mood this entire day.

Visiting Duke Ningguo Manor was a part of her role as the consort and the main wife, yet the protagonist of this visit wasn't her, but Su Yaoniang.

Duchess Ningguo's slipup was a momentary negligence, but this momentary negligence does indeed reflect their true thoughts. In the eyes of the Shen Family, one Su Yaoniang was worth many hers.

One wasn't pregnant, while the other was, but the difference in treatment could be so big? What Eldest Madam Shen said was obviously to incite discord, but her words were still a thorn piercing Consort Jin's heart.

She couldn't help thinking of her mother's increasingly compromising attitude towards that Yulan bitch in these recent years. In the end, it still mattered. This was the difference between having a son and not having a son. If her mother lived a long time, she was destined to beg for food from Concubine Yulan's two sons. She could only soften her attitude.

Would she also fall to this point one day?

Su Yaoniang wasn't stirring up any trouble now because she understood that now wasn't the time. But whether she could remain so well behaved in the future was unknown. When Concubine Yulan first entered the door, she was also well behaved, but her face gradually changed.

“Madam, Marquis Nanchuan Manor sent an invitation for you to go enjoy some tea tomorrow.”

The current wife of Marquis Nanchuan Manor's heir was Chen Miaoran. She was the second di daughter of the second branch of the Chen Family, Marquis Jinyang Manor¹, and was also the cousin of the Consort Jin. Before their marriage, they were in frequent contact with each other. It was likely that they sent this invitation after knowing Consort Jin had returned the capital.

“I'll go tomorrow.”

The next day, Consort Jin went to Marquis Jinyang Manor.

Chen Miaoren stood in front of the main courtyard's entrance to welcome her. When Consort Jin saw her with a big belly, she was very surprised. “Look at how big your belly is. How many months has it been?”

“It's been almost eight months. If it weren't for being in such a late stage of pregnancy, no matter what, it would be me coming to visit you, now that you're back in the capital.” 

The two exchanged some more conventional greetings before stopping. When they looked at each other, they both smiled. The affection of the cousins ​​from their early years has returned. Before Consort Jin married, she had very few friends. Besides He Wanyi, the only person who was close to her was this cousin.

The two of them walked inside then sat down in the hall.

Chen Miaoran asked the maid to bring her children over. She was a fortunate woman. While Consort Jin was married, she gave birth to both a son and a daughter and now there was another on the way in her belly.

“The heir had an imperial physician make a visit and he said the child will be a male baby. If it really is a male child, everything will be fine, and my heart will also be calmer.”

“You gave birth to Brother Tao'er and Sister Han'er. You also have both Marquis Jinyang Manor and Duke Xuguo Manor behind you. What are you feeling uneasy about?” Consort Jin asked disapprovingly.

Chen Miaoran looked around, then whispered with a bit of sadness, “Every family has their own difficulties. Although the heir loves me, there's still a mother-in-law above. In the second year of my marriage, she wanted to raise the status of the two maids around the heir to be his concubines. I fought with her and almost miscarried. Although she stopped, it didn't take long for her old habit to resume and said that if I were to make trouble again, I'd be guilty of jealousy. Now among the two concubines, one of them has a son. In the future, there may be more concubines and shu sons and daughters. The more children I have, the less those cats and dogs will give birth to thoughts they shouldn't have.”

This was how women of the nobility lived. If they were more kind-hearted, they would turn a blind eye. If they were more vicious, there would be a few more innocent baby ghosts lingering around them.

It's not surprising for her cousin to think this way, but Consort Jin still felt a bit choked up. Being a woman was simply one of the greatest miseries in the world.

“By the way, I also heard about the situation in Jin Wang Manor. I know I shouldn't talk about this, but in the end, we're both cousins, and I am also worried for you. If your body really can't give birth, you should adopt one of that woman's children. This way, you would have someone to rely on in the future, and with the child in your hands, she wouldn't dare to have any thoughts she shouldn't have.”
