After Rouze left the main courtyard, she went from being anxious and uneasy to being depressed, which was inseparable from Qi Yuebin's various verbal hints, but the ultimate reason was that Rouze had poor psychological endurance and was biased towards listening to others.

She always dreamed that her child blamed her, resented her, and hated her after he was born. She was so sad that she cried every day, but she couldn't tell the Fourth Prince, so he gradually got annoyed.

The man's behavior was very direct. He asked a few questions about Rouze's condition, asked the servants and the imperial physician to take good care of her, and then turned around and left, saying he was "busy with official business."

Maybe he was really busy, or he went to the main courtyard, or he went to find Li Jingyan, or he didn't want to face Rouze who was crying non-stop.

He could no longer find in Rouze the beautiful figure that had once made him fall in love with her at first sight in the Plum Garden, just as the frail Rouze could no longer perform the stunning dance that had moved the entire capital.

The same was true of his love for Rouze, which was no longer full of passion, but only the memory of the heartbeat of his youth.

main courtyard.

The matter of the Yin-Yang account books was settled, and Wang Ruofu's dowry became more and more abundant. She simply said to the outside world that it was because of her good shop management.

As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when good things happen to them. Wang Ruofu held the gold ingots on the table in both hands and smiled widely, her mouth unable to close.

"With this income, we won't have to worry about the retirement money for me and Nanny Fang, the money for Honghui to marry, and the dowries for the four of you."

Wang Ruofu spoke in a very serious manner. Ran Dong was moved and his thoughts became more determined.

Ran Dong: "I am worried about leaving you alone. You are so reckless and soft-hearted now, and you will easily suffer from the villains."

Wang Ruofu straightened her expression and glanced at the direction of the outer courtyard: "Tell me, what are the reactions of the people in the mansion these days?"

"Qi Gege goes to Hengqingyuan more and more often, and Gang Gege is not doing well either." Ran Dong reported to Wang Ruofu everything that had happened recently.

Finally, he asked, "Should we intervene or eradicate the problem?"

"Not worth it." Wang Ruofu waved her hand, her tone unusually cold and numb.

"Don't let them throw dirty water on the main courtyard. Let them fight about the rest. Who wins and who loses, and whether they can keep it, all depends on their own luck."

Although Wang Ruofu could not change her soft-hearted nature, her selfish nature was also deeply buried in her bones. She would not be so cruel as to have an abortion or kill someone, nor would she bother to protect her concubines and illegitimate children whom she hated.

Let it develop, the best is to benefit from it, the worst is to have nothing to do with it.

Just like in her previous life, she would ignore Lin Qinshuang's murder of Wei Xiaoniang, which led to her having a difficult labor and causing two deaths. Afterwards, she would feel a little guilty towards Wei Xiaoniang, but only a little.

After all, it wasn't her who did it. She was more concerned about whether Lin Qinshuang had left any evidence and whether she could bring Lin Qinshuang down in one fell swoop and eliminate the biggest worry in her heart.

Thinking of the past, Wang Ruofu felt a little depressed. Ran Dong looked at her and imagined another deeper meaning.

He praised her generously: "If you don't do it, you won't make mistakes, and you will always be invincible. Mrs. Fu is wise."

"..." Wang Ruofu glanced at Ran Dong, curled her lips to reveal a smile, sat up straight, and pretended to be mysterious: "Do you need to tell me that? You still have a lot to learn."

When Rouze was five months pregnant, she had already started burning moxa to protect the fetus. Even the trusted imperial physician sent by Depin was embarrassed and repeatedly urged Rouze to be open-minded, but to little avail.

Because Wang Ruofu and Li Jingyan became pregnant one after another, Wang Ruofu was more than two months pregnant and Li Jingyan was one month pregnant.

There were suddenly more unborn children in the mansion, and Wang Ruofu and Li Jingyan's pulses were healthier than Rouze's. The Fourth Prince was so happy that he became less willing to go to Rouze.

It was Li Jingyan's first pregnancy and she suffered from severe morning sickness. Fortunately, there were enough doctors in the Prince's Mansion, and Wang Ruofu kindly sent two doctors to help Li Jingyan with her pregnancy.

She had Ran Dong, who was an expert in medicine, by her side, and there were no adverse reactions at all.

Wang Ruofu stroked her belly which was not yet pregnant: "I think this baby is a girl, she will be even more obedient than Honghui."

"Really? If it's really a daughter, then I'll have both a son and a daughter." The Fourth Prince replied.

During this period, the Fourth Prince mostly came to the main courtyard to accompany Wang Ruofu. Firstly, Wang Ruofu was the principal wife, secondly, he could not afford to offend her, and thirdly, Rouze and Li Jingyan kept crying and vomiting, which made Wang Ruofu look better.

……

Time flies, spring goes and autumn comes, and Rouze gave birth prematurely at eight months old.

Rouze's pulse had been bad since the early stages of her pregnancy. The imperial physician had done her best to keep her alive until now. It was no surprise that she had a difficult delivery.

The Fourth Prince went to court, and Wang Ruofu, who was five or six months pregnant, sat at the door of the delivery room to preside over the situation.

"Aunt Zhusi, you were sent by Concubine De, and you are deeply trusted by Princess Naraga, so you don't need to call me. Go in and check on Princess Naraga."

"Gege Li, you are pregnant too. There are too many people in the delivery room. It might be a hassle. You should go back and rest. Doctor, thank you for your concern."

The imperial physician bowed and said, "I will do my best."

Wang Ruofu nodded, looked at Gan Shuyi who looked nervous and Qi Yuebin who was suppressing his hopes, and smiled meaningfully.

Then came the long wait.

Time passed minute by minute, and the Fourth Prince had not returned for some unknown reason. In the delivery room, Rouze kept screaming, each one weaker than the last, as if she would die in the next second.

But she didn't die, which made Qi Yuebin and Gan Shuyi look more and more anxious and ugly, unable to hide it. Wang Ruofu just watched them perform quietly.

"Born, born!"

From the delivery room came the midwife's happy cheers and some congratulations. After waiting for a while, there was no sound of the baby crying or other news.

Qi Yuebin's heart skipped a beat. Could it be a rebellion?

When a royal woman encountered a difficult birth, she would always sacrifice her mother to save her child, so she dared to stimulate her fragile mind day by day, hinting to her that her child would never be as good as Wang Ruofu's child.

In this situation, could it be that Rouze, this useless person, survived, but the child was born weak and...

Wang Ruofu and Gan Shuyi also thought of this possibility. Before Wang Ruofu could say anything, Gan Shuyi knelt down in panic and said, "How could this happen? It's not me, it's not me..."

It's like admitting one's own guilt, so stupid that it's outrageous.

Wang Ruofu couldn't just turn a blind eye to what was happening, so she immediately said, "Come here, take Concubine Gan away and keep her under strict guard until Lord Beile comes back to interrogate her."

"Ran Dong, go check out what's going on in the delivery room. Give us an answer whether it's life or death."

Ran Dong followed the order and left. After a while, he and the midwife came out holding a blue swaddling cloth. Both of them looked unhappy.

The midwife knelt down tremblingly holding the child in her arms. Wang Ruofu stretched her head out to take a curious look. The baby looked white, alive and breathing, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Asked: "What's going on?"

"My wife, the little prince was born weak. I dare not take pictures. The imperial physician said... the imperial physician said that the little prince was born a eunuch!"
