Meng Yunshang's pretty face turned pale instantly. She bit her lips hard and finally uttered a sentence with difficulty after a long time: "The doctor in the palace checked my pulse and said that it was because of my weak body since childhood that my menstrual period was irregular!"

Lin Yiwan nodded. She understood. Although irregular menstruation made it extremely difficult to get pregnant, it would not cause infertility.

I'm afraid that someone is deliberately trying to damage her reputation by saying that she is infertile.

She stretched out her wrist towards Meng Yunshang, and then she nervously handed over her hand.

After a moment, Lin Yiwan narrowed her eyes and said, "It's a minor problem. I'll prescribe some medicine for you. If you take it on time, it will definitely help normalize your menstrual cycle!"

When Meng Yunshang heard this, she almost cried with joy.

But when he suddenly remembered that Xiao Rui was already discussing marriage with someone else, he immediately pouting again.

Lin Yiwan glanced at her and said, "What are you still standing there for? Didn't you say Xiao Rui was going on a blind date? Let's go and stop him!"

Meng Yunshang nervously twisted the handkerchief in her hand. She trembled and whispered, "Wanwan, can we still stop it?"

Lin Yiwan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why not? Are you going to watch Xiao Rui marry another noblewoman? Won't it hurt your heart?"

As she spoke, she reached out and poked Meng Yunshang in the heart.

Bitterness emanated from Meng Yunshang's lips and teeth. She was more than just heartbroken. Ever since she learned that he was going to discuss marriage, she had almost lost her appetite and had lost a lot of weight!

She is in so much pain!

Lin Yiwan urged, "Stop wasting time. Have you found out where he went on the blind date?"

Meng Yunshang nodded hurriedly: "Ci'en Temple in the suburbs of Beijing!"

Meeting Lin Yiwan's playful eyes, she blushed and quickly tried to make amends, "No, Wanwan, I didn't deliberately send anyone to inquire about this. Please don't misunderstand me!"

Lin Yiwan held her hand and said, "So what if you ask? There's nothing shameful about having a crush on someone. You have him in your heart, so it's normal to keep an eye on his movements!"

Meng Yunshang explained carefully: "I'm afraid you will think I'm reckless!"

Lin Yiwan shook her head. "Yun Shang, I'm only telling you, don't hide your feelings in your heart. You have to tell him. Maybe he'll like you back. If you both keep silent, you'll regret it for the rest of your lives!"

Meng Yunshang blinked and couldn't help but say, "Wanwan, I think what you said makes a lot of sense!"

Lin Yiwan sighed, "Yes, I learned this the hard way. Don't make a mistake and you'll make mistakes at every step!"

The two of them hurriedly got into the carriage and headed straight for Ci'en Temple in the suburbs of Beijing.

At this time, Madam Xiao had already arrived at the Buddhist temple. She looked at the nanny beside her with some displeasure: "Why hasn't Rui'er come yet? Didn't he say that he would rush here after the court was dismissed?"

A nervous look flashed across the old nanny's face. She said timidly, "Old Madam, if we don't tell the truth to the Prime Minister, will he be angry?"

Madam Xiao frowned and interrupted, "What can I do? I see my body becoming increasingly useless, and he still doesn't even have a warm bed. When I really reach the moment of my death, how can I go down to meet his father and the ancestors of the Xiao family?"

The old nanny quickly advised: "Old Madam, please don't say such depressing words. Didn't the court doctor say that you are in good health? As long as you take good care of yourself, you can live a long life!"

Madam Xiao chuckled. "Do you believe his nonsense? I was hoping that Madam Hou could help my son find a wife, but now, I'm afraid she can't take care of it. I can only help him while I still have the energy. Once the bride is married, I'll have nothing to worry about!"

After saying that, she quickly walked to the side, took the incense and lit it.

Soon, Xiao Rui, dressed in brocade clothes, hurried into the Buddhist temple.

He reached out to support Madam Xiao and kowtowed several times in front of the Buddha with her.

After getting up, he asked in confusion, "Mother, why are you coming to worship Buddha at this time? Isn't it usually on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month?"

Madam Xiao glanced at him and said, "Why not worship Buddha anytime? Why do we need to choose a day?"

Xiao Rui couldn't help laughing: "Okay, mother, you can come whenever you want. What else can your son do? Just indulge her!"

Madam Xiao held his arm and said, "Be good, since you are here now, why not accompany mother to Maple Leaf Garden for a walk? I heard that the maple leaves are all red, and the whole mountain is red, it's a beautiful sight!"

Xiao Rui nodded: "Okay!"

When the mother and son arrived at Maple Leaf Garden, they saw a white-haired old lady followed by many maids and nannies, and a pretty girl with a pearl veil on her face waiting on her left.

Xiao Rui understood immediately. He subconsciously frowned and asked, "Mom, are you going on a blind date with me?"

Madam Xiao glared at him dissatisfiedly: "Why? Couldn't it be a coincidence?"

No one knows a mother better than her son. Xiao Rui didn't believe that his mother really met him by chance.

She is so eager to drink her mother-in-law's tea!

He immediately said, "Mother, I suddenly remembered that I have some urgent business to attend to in the cabinet. I'll leave first and come back to take you home in the evening!"

Madam Xiao's expression suddenly changed. She grabbed his wrist and threatened: "Xiao Rui, if you dare to leave today, I will break your legs!"

Xiao Rui pleaded bitterly, "Mother, please don't be like this. Didn't you say you would wait for the Marquis's wife to propose marriage to me? She has returned to the capital now, so I'm sure she won't forget what she promised you!"

Madam Xiao snorted coldly, "I am going to wait for her, but don't even think about running away today. Madam Pei came to me and praised her granddaughter like a flower, so naturally I have to let you take a look. If you like her, then we can get married. If not, then let's just treat it as a chance encounter, okay?"

Even though he said so, Xiao Rui still refused to see him.

He frowned and said, "Mother, the Pei family is too noble. As the Right Prime Minister, if I were to get engaged to a girl from the Pei family, it would definitely cause the Emperor to misunderstand me!"

Old Madam Xiao was stunned for a moment. She had actually forgotten about this.

Her son is a powerful official!

The Pei family is a large and aristocratic family with a very high status. If the marriage is successful, it will be a powerful alliance and will indeed make the emperor wary.

Blame her for neglecting it!

She was just trying to find a reason to stop this when she heard Madam Pei call out, "Is that Madam Xiao and Right Prime Minister Xiao over there? What a coincidence, are you here to admire the maple leaves too?"

Since the other party has already spoken, it would be difficult for Old Madam Xiao to just turn around and leave.

She could only force a smile and said, "Yes, what a coincidence! I didn't expect that Madam Pei would also come to visit Maple Leaf Garden!"

Old Madam Pei, leaning on her cane, quickly came up to the mother and son. She looked at Xiao Rui with satisfaction and said, "I've heard that Right Prime Minister Xiao is extremely handsome. Now that I see him, he is indeed handsome. Old Madam Xiao has given birth to a good son!"

Madam Xiao smiled so hard that her teeth were showing. It had to be said that Madam Pei's words really touched her heart.

She just gave birth to a good son!

Xiao Rui also spoke up: "Thank you for the compliments, Madam Pei. I originally came here to send my mother to worship Buddha, but now I have some official business to attend to in the palace, so I'll take my leave now!"
