I just want to live a good life

Chapter 511: Adults and children are safe

When Su Nuan returned to Duiyueju, Madam Wang was preparing dinner for her.

When she heard that she had returned home, Liao Xinyi came to take her pulse.

As soon as they met, Liao Xinyi smiled and said, "You are probably the most carefree mistress in this imperial city. You run outside all day long, and no one dares to control you."

Su Nuan also smiled, "Why, are you unhappy that I didn't take you out with me?"

"Yes, he called me to the Prince's Mansion and left me alone."

"I have some important things to do today, but tomorrow I'll be free. I'll take you out for a walk."

"My senior brother just sent someone to tell me to go to his place tomorrow to celebrate the New Year."

"You agreed?"

"Ah."

Su Nuan didn't know what to say. She should have taken good care of the person she left in the Prince's Mansion, but there were so many things going on recently. I heard that she had to go to the palace tomorrow to celebrate the New Year with the Emperor and the Empress. She definitely couldn't take Liao Xinyi with her, and she would have to leave her in the mansion. It would be better for her to spend the New Year at Doctor Yao's house.

"Okay then. I'll have someone take you there tomorrow, and I'll pick you up after I'm done with these few days."

"Just do your thing and don't worry about me. According to the rules, my senior brother will come to check the prince's pulse tomorrow and will take me away at the same time."

As she spoke, Liao Xinyi took Su Nuan's hand, put one hand on her wrist, and continued, "Even if you have to stay with me for a few days, I want to understand your condition first. It would be unreasonable for me to stay here to help you have a healthy pregnancy, but I don't know your condition."

Su Nuan felt guilty again when she said this. She kept Liao Xinyi by her side to protect her pregnancy from being discovered by the imperial physician and then from Mu Yunting. This was part of her escape plan. But now that she had talked it out with Mu Yunting, she didn't have to run away, which put Liao Xinyi in an awkward position.

"Xinyi, I have already told His Highness that I am pregnant."

"You finally figured it out. From now on, you can ask Senior Brother to come and check your pulse openly."

"I have discussed with His Highness that it is not appropriate to make public the fact that I am pregnant since the pregnancy is still young, so I will have to trouble you during this period."

"Your Highness also thinks it's not appropriate to make it public?" Liao Xinyi seemed a little surprised.

Su Nuan felt that it would be better not to let more people know that Xun Zheng was fake, so she didn't explain much and just nodded slightly.

Liao Xinyi didn't ask any more questions and just checked Su Nuan's pulse silently.

After a while, she loosened her fingers and said briskly, "The adults and children are both safe and sound. You have recovered much better than I expected. But I still say that you must not drink alcohol or have sex."

Su Nuan blushed, and then her face turned even redder when she thought of the question she was going to ask, "Does it mean that we can't have sex until the baby is born?"

Liao Xinyi smiled faintly and replied, "Not really. In your current situation, you can have sex when the fetus is three months old, but you have to go slow. If the fetus is older, it is not suitable to have sex."

Liao Xinyi paused and continued, "Ah Nuan, you already have the Crown Prince's first child. Protect him well. He will definitely help you consolidate your position. This is not the time to compete for favor."

Su Nuan's face turned even redder. She was too embarrassed to say that she was not asking this to win favor. In order to end this embarrassing topic as soon as possible, she could only nod desperately.

Fortunately, Chun Liu pushed the door open at this time, breaking Su Nuan's embarrassment.

"My Lady, His Highness has returned home. Should I invite His Highness to dine at Duiyue Residence, or should My Lady bring the food to Lanyue Pavilion for dinner?"

"Your Highness has returned to Lanyue Pavilion?"

Chunliu nodded.

Su Nuan frowned slightly. She thought Mu Yunting would come directly to Duiyueju after returning home. After all the trouble last night, Mu Yunting had some of his belongings moved to Duiyueju early this morning. He acted as if he wanted to stay here with her. But he changed his mind after only one day of separation?

"Since His Highness has something to deal with, let's not disturb him. I will dine with Xinyi. Just bring the food and put it on the small table."

"This... I heard that the kitchen manager Kang asked for leave from manager Ding this morning. His two apprentices are now in charge of the kitchen. If Your Highness doesn't come to Duiyueju, you may not be able to eat delicious meals."

"The New Year is the busiest time in the mansion. Why would Kang Dahong ask for leave at this time?"

"I heard that the family has arranged a marriage, and Steward Kang had rejected it several times before, but this time my mother is ill and needs a wedding to bring good luck, so he had to agree, so he rushed back to get married. He came to see Madam Wang, and the two talked a lot. Finally, Steward Kang entrusted the food for His Highness to Madam Wang, and then went to Steward Ding to ask for leave. Madam Wang cooked many dishes that His Highness likes to eat tonight."

Thinking of Kang Dahong's feelings for Wang Niangzi, Su Nuan felt a little sad. She guessed that Kang Dahong came to Wang Niangzi first before asking for the price, probably to confirm whether he still had hope with Wang Niangzi, and then decided to go home to "bring good luck" after knowing that there was no hope.

This guy is a bit cunning at ordinary times, but his feelings for this junior sister are genuine. However, she is not as affectionate as him.

"In that case, let's send all the dishes that His Highness likes to Lanyue Pavilion."

"this......"

Chunliu obviously said this not to deliver food to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and she felt a little embarrassed after hearing such an arrangement.

At this time, Liao Xinyi spoke up: "How about this, Miss Chunliu, give me a portion of the food, and I'll go back and eat with Danggui."

Such an arrangement was naturally excellent. It did not offend the Concubine and it also saved the embarrassment of staying behind. Moreover, Madam Wang had cooked many dishes and had originally brought portions for Chunliu and others, so there was no problem in dividing them between two people.

This made Su Nuan feel a little embarrassed. She really wanted to invite Liao Xinyi to dinner, but after Chun Liu said that just now, she felt it was difficult to keep her.

"Your Highness, you didn't come directly to Duiyueju after returning home. I think you have some official business to attend to, so you won't come for a while. But if I force you to stay here to have dinner with me, I think you will feel uncomfortable. I will do as you say today and let you go back."

Su Nuan turned to Chun Liu and said, "Put out some of each dish. You and Mei Xiang take the food boxes to Xin Yi."

Chunliu responded and went happily to prepare food for Liao Xinyi.

Liao Xinyi also stood up to say goodbye, but before leaving, she suddenly remembered something and turned around to ask Su Nuan, "You said you had something important to do today, but was it about your driver?"

Su Nuan was surprised and asked, "What did you hear?"

"I heard on the street today that there was a thief in the Guang'an Palace, and it seemed to be related to your coachman. This matter will not involve you, right?"

"No, it's all nonsense out there, you don't have to believe it."

"That's good, but I heard from people in the mansion that your driver didn't come back yesterday. I don't think there's anything wrong with him."

"You usually don't like to bother with these trivial matters. Why are you suddenly interested in this matter?"

Su Nuan asked with a smile.

"I have met your driver several times before. He doesn't look like a bad person, especially since it involves you."

"Don't worry, even if he is a bad guy, what he did has nothing to do with me."

"I feel relieved now."

Having said that, Liao Xinyi had nothing more to say and stood up to leave.

Su Nuan was left standing there in a daze, staring at her back in a daze.
