Outside the house, when Su Yuanyuan ran out, she saw Chunxiao and Caiyun step forward to stop Wei Linlang for her.
If it weren't for them, according to Wei Linlang's temper, she would have rushed into the house long ago.
Letting out a sigh of relief, Su Yuanyuan gave Chunxiao and Caiyun a grateful look. Then she stepped forward with a smile and took Wei Linlang's arm. "Sister-in-law comes to find Yuanbao so early in the morning. Is there any good news to share?"
Wei Linlang's eyebrows were relaxed, looking refreshed. With her pregnancy, there was a touch of gentleness as a mother between her eyebrows, making her look even more charming than before.
"Of course. Sister-in-law really has something to tell you. Just now I went to Mother's place first, but Mother said you got up early to practice martial arts. So I came here to find you."
"However, why are you the only one here? Where's the second brother?" Wei Linlang asked curiously.
Since Wei Linlang had something to say to her, Su Yuanyuan had no choice but to invite her sister-in-law into the house. After all, her sister-in-law was pregnant and couldn't be exposed to the wind and get cold outside.
But... Brother Yunjian was still in the house!
Su Yuanyuan felt rather annoyed. Finally, she took Wei Linlang's arm and walked towards the main house. God knows how nervous she was. She could only pray that Wei Linlang wouldn't notice that there was someone else hiding in the house. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to explain herself even if she had a mouth.
Forcing a smile, Su Yuanyuan said, "Second brother forgot to cover the quilt when he went to bed last night, so he caught a cold."
Wei Linlang was surprised. "Oh, what a coincidence! Then where's the third brother? Even if the second brother is not here, the third brother can teach you more than well enough."
Su Yuanyuan said, "Third brother suddenly got inspired last night and carved a hairpin overnight. He also caught a cold and got sick."
Wei Linlang: "… This is just too much of a coincidence."
Indeed! Su Yuanyuan also thought that neither her second brother nor her third brother was reliable.
"Then did you practice martial arts by yourself this morning?" Wei Linlang asked.
"Actually... not really." Su Yuanyuan stammered. "Brother Yunjian just taught me a few moves. But I'm too stupid to learn them, so he got angry and left."
"Yuanbao is not stupid." Wei Linlang said seriously. "With Yuanbao's current skills, even if you meet a bad person outside, you can put up a fight. You just don't practice enough. Moreover, Yunjian's martial arts skills are even higher than your second brother's. He can even match up with Father."
"It's just that the opponent is too strong." Wei Linlang concluded in the end.
Su Yuanyuan was extremely touched. She didn't expect her sister-in-law to comfort her instead.
As they were talking, the two entered the house. As expected, Wei Linlang didn't notice that there was someone else in the house. She sat down on the chair on her own. Su Yuanyuan poured her a cup of hot water and spared a little attention to the movement behind the screen. She was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
With no one else in the house, Wei Linlang held Su Yuanyuan's hands and said with a sob,
"Yuanbao, do you still remember what you said to sister-in-law in the Prince Xuan's Mansion? After sister-in-law came back, I've always kept this matter in mind. After I found out I was pregnant, the words those people said kept echoing in my mind. I couldn't help but think if I should also learn from those people and arrange one or two concubines for your elder brother, so that he..."
"Fortunately, fortunately Mother helped me. Your elder brother also showed his attitude in front of Mother. Only then did I completely let go of my worries."
Wei Linlang didn't know that when Mrs. Mo set a trap for Su Huaichen last night, Su Yuanyuan was lying outside the door and saw the whole thing. But Su Yuanyuan had to pretend that she didn't know anything. Holding Wei Linlang's hands back, Su Yuanyuan said,
"Sister-in-law, Yuanbao..."
Just as Su Yuanyuan opened her mouth, there was a "thud" sound from behind the screen.
This sound startled both Su Yuanyuan and Wei Linlang. Wei Linlang asked warily, "What's that sound?"
Xiao Ba immediately snitched, [It's Cang Xuan! He did it on purpose!]
This cunning man! Su Yuanyuan was extremely anxious. She was afraid that Wei Linlang would get up and walk towards the screen. She quickly kicked the table leg beside her, making a "thud" sound too. Then she forced a smile and said,
"Sister-in-law, it's okay. Yuanbao accidentally kicked the table leg."
Really? But that sound... didn't sound like it.
Without thinking too much, Wei Linlang asked, "Yuanbao, what were you going to say just now?"
Su Yuanyuan composed herself and continued, "Yuanbao heard from Master Liao that a woman will become very sensitive after she gets pregnant. She can't help but magnify a small thing infinitely, so that she gets trapped in bad emotions. In fact, your being overly anxious is just because you're pregnant. Now that elder brother has shown his attitude, you can just take good care of your body and give birth to the baby safely in the future."
After saying this in one breath, there was no other strange sound from behind the screen. This made Su Yuanyuan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
But the next moment, there was a "hiss" sound from behind the screen.
Xiao Ba snitched again, [Cang Xuan did it on purpose! He did it on purpose!]
Seeing Wei Linlang turn her head towards the screen again, Su Yuanyuan had a sudden idea and shouted,
"Black Wind! I've told you several times not to sneak into my room and chew on things. Why don't you listen? If you do this again, I won't give you chicken legs in the future!"
So it was Black Wind causing trouble.
Wei Linlang suddenly realized, not noticing at all that when she entered Mingzhu Courtyard just now, Black Wind was quietly squatting beside its doghouse, guarding the courtyard motionlessly!
These two little episodes didn't dampen Wei Linlang's desire to talk. She then pulled Su Yuanyuan and talked about many topics that only girls would talk about.
Although Su Yuanyuan was a little anxious in her heart, she couldn't bear to interrupt her. So she just listened attentively. Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened after that. And Wei Linlang didn't intend to stay for long. After pouring out her heart, she was about to leave.
"Yuanbao, thank you for being willing to listen to sister-in-law's nonsense. Tianbao Zhai is about to open. You must have a lot of things to do. Sister-in-law won't bother you anymore."
Su Yuanyuan thoughtfully sent Wei Linlang out. But when they passed by the courtyard gate, Wei Linlang suddenly stopped and turned her head to look to one side.
"This dog..."
Black Wind was sticking out its tongue, squatting in front of its doghouse and wagging its tail vigorously at the two of them.
Su Yuanyuan was stunned and immediately became nervous again. Could it be that sister-in-law had noticed something?
Wei Linlang praised, "Sure enough, it's a dog once raised by the Crown Prince. I didn't even notice when it left your room."
Su Yuanyuan forced a smile and said, "It just comes and goes without a trace. I don't know how many things in my room it has damaged."
Black Wind seemed to understand what Su Yuanyuan said. Its ears drooped and it let out a whine, showing its grievance.
After seeing Wei Linlang off, Su Yuanyuan returned to the courtyard. She reached out and stroked Black Wind's head and sighed, "You've worked hard. You have to take the blame for someone. Don't worry. I'll ask the kitchen to make you a few more chicken legs tonight. Let you have your fill."
Black Wind barked loudly, "Woof!"
Humph, it's time to settle the score with someone next! Knowing that sister-in-law was here, he still deliberately made such a commotion. It's really outrageous!
