The Fourth Prince's Mansion was many times more spacious than the Fourth Prince's Mansion in the palace. After all, the Fourth Prince had to consider the issue of future promotion and expansion. But Qi Yuebin didn't feel comfortable at all when he walked in it.

Jixiang knew what Qi Yuebin was thinking, and comforted him softly, "Gege Li is so flamboyant, just like Gege Song in the past. In my opinion, she may not be able to get better in the future."

Qi Yuebin knew this was the truth. Liu Youyou would not interfere, which meant that there was no powerful person in the mansion. Otherwise, if Li Jingyan still wanted to know about the pregnancy, the fetus would have been aborted without anyone knowing.

Qi Yuebin was worried about another thing. She was the first one to marry the Fourth Prince. Song had been pregnant, and Yixiu had also been pregnant, but she was the only one who had no news. Without a child, Qi Yuebin always felt insecure.

Now that Li Jingyan is already there, is there still hope for me?

Looking at the pomegranate tree in the garden, which had already begun to bear green fruits, Qi Yuebin couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Is this really retribution?"

Because of a momentary thought that day, I harmed the eldest princess. Now, due to the cycle of karma, I cannot get pregnant.

But thinking about it, Qi Yuebin was unwilling to accept it. Should he just bear with the insults from the Song family? How similar were the current Li family and the Song family back then? So similar that the evil thoughts in Qi Yuebin's heart began to surge again.

But after Qi Yuebin calculated the manpower he could mobilize, he gave up the plan of taking direct action.

Qi Yuebin didn't think that Liu Youyou would miss the opportunity to get hold of something on him. If he put himself in Liu Youyou's shoes, if he got hold of something on him like this, he would definitely go straight to the core and not give the enemy a chance to react.

After thinking it over, Qi Yuebin ordered Jixiang, "Jixiang, have our people keep an eye on Li Gege and the concubines who have grudges against her. If there is any movement, report to me immediately."

Qi Yuebin would not give up the opportunity to make trouble for Li Jingyan. He would just go with the flow and not let Liu Youyou catch him. Even if Liu Youyou guessed that it was Qi Yuebin, it would be useless without evidence.

Qi Yuebin still chose to remain silent. Logically speaking, Liu Youyou should be very leisurely.

But Li Jingyan is indeed a person who is always greedy.

If he wants to eat the best blood bird's nest today, he needs hundred-year-old ginseng to prepare for production tomorrow. His daily diet requires constant intake of salt, and he cannot add too much salt, but it must taste salty, because Li Jingyan is afraid that he will get edema if he eats too much, but he cannot do without salt.

It’s not that the Fourth Prince’s Mansion can’t afford these things, but in order to show his importance, Li Jingyan would ask Liu Youyou to make the decision when something was not to his liking.

Liu Youyou had only one reaction to this. Is there something wrong with Li Jingyan? I am Fu Jin, not your mother!

Jianqiu tried to stop Cuiguo, who came to report the news, outside the door, but Cuiguo couldn't see Liu Youyou, so she acted as if Li Jingyan was going to die, and the child was going to die too, so Liu Youyou had no choice but to come out.

This was intolerable. Liu Youyou didn't want to dirty her hands, so she asked the doctor to scare Li Jingyan.

The concubines who had grudges against Li Jingyan had already bribed the maid who brought the lunch boxes every day, but they were afraid of being exposed, so they only used a little at a time. Now Li Jingyan, who was well-fed and inexperienced, was completely unaware of it.

So, the blind doctor checked Li Jingyan's pulse and asked with a frown, "Excuse me, Gege, do you feel soreness in your abdomen and tightness in your belly?"

Li Jingyan asked in panic, "It happens these days, I thought it was normal."

The doctor was choked by Li Jingyan's carelessness and continued, "Gege has been too emotional these days, which is not good for the fetus. She should stay in bed and rest, and not argue with others."

Li Jingyan thought about the good things that were coming out of his warehouse. Indeed, he was extremely excited every time he got rare treasures that did not belong to him.

Thinking of this, Li Jingyan began to fear, "Doctor, will it be bad for the child?"

The doctor thought to himself, what were you doing so far? Thinking of Jianqiu's instructions, the doctor still firmly conveyed Liu Youyou's orders.

"So Gege should rest well."

Li Jingyan was frightened by the doctor and no longer thought about asking for good things from the warehouse. She and Cuiguo nervously protected their stomachs every day and did not even dare to leave the yard.

Liu Youyou was relieved that she no longer saw Cuiguo and Li Jingyan every day.

Jianqiu said distressedly: "Fujin is too lenient with the backyard. This Li Gege is so unruly. Won't all pregnant women follow suit in the future?"

Liu Youyou certainly knew that she should deal with Li Jingyan swiftly and vigorously, just like she dealt with Guarjia clan. But Liu Youyou had no psychological burden in dealing with Li Jingyan, but she did not dare to affect the child in Li Jingyan's belly.

Yes, I dare not. Liu Youyou knew that in such an era, her bottom line would always retreat again and again, but if she could do nothing about her children, Liu Youyou didn't think she would be able to adapt to modern life in the future.

However, Jianqiu was right in reminding Li Jingyan that he couldn't let her go easily, otherwise everyone would think that Liu Youyou was easy to bully and would step on her.

What to do? Of course, ask the Fourth Prince to come out.

Yixiu put on an attitude of settling accounts again, waiting for the Fourth Prince to come in.

Hearing the Fourth Prince's footsteps, Yixiu pretended to say to Jianqiu, "Hey, Li Gege, what should we do?"

When the Fourth Prince heard what Yixiu said, he thought something was wrong with the child and asked hurriedly, "But what's wrong with the child?"

Yixiu didn't have time to greet the Fourth Prince, and frowned as she said, "Sister Li always complains about stomach discomfort, but the doctor didn't find anything wrong, and only told her to rest and remember not to be emotionally unstable.

I have also been pregnant before, and I know that it is common for pregnant women to have sudden mood swings. I am also trying my best to meet Sister Li's needs, but Sister Li still can't calm down. How can I not worry about this?"

The Fourth Prince understood Li Jingyan's mischievous character and subconsciously thought that Li Jingyan was causing trouble again. It would be no use shouting "wolf" too many times.

These days, Li Jingyan not only harassed Yixiu, but also asked the Fourth Prince to accompany him from time to time. The Fourth Prince, seeing that the baby in Li Jingyan's belly was his only child, endured it with a pinch of his nose, but his dissatisfaction was growing more and more.

The Fourth Prince asked with an icy tone, "What has Li Jingyan wanted these days?"

Jianqiu listed a long list of vegetables like he was reciting their names, each of which was very valuable. The Fourth Prince's face turned pale when he heard them.

The Fourth Prince would not blame himself. He asked Yixiu in a bad tone, "How could Fu Jin allow her to ask for it like this?"

Yixiu was about to curse in her heart. Who said to try her best to meet all of Li Jingyan's needs? Do you feel bad when I spend your money? Yixiu wanted to give Li Jingyan some more money now.

"Sister Li is just concerned about the child. I am also a mother and understand Sister Li's feelings. I have lost my sense of propriety. Please punish me, sir."
