the next morning.

Lin Yuan arrived at the Dingbei Marquis Mansion early.

But he waited outside until Li Shu had finished her breakfast before going inside to show her the strange object, which was only the size of a button. "I found this in Fengyi Palace last night. When I passed under it, I felt like someone was watching me."

"I'm being watched..."

Li Shu took the thing and looked at it over and over again.

Not to mention figuring out what it was, she couldn't even tell what it was made of.

But she immediately remembered that in her dream, there seemed to be something similar in her mother's house...

Therefore, when she handed the thing back to Lin Yuan, she instructed: "Take it to the Grand Princess's Mansion and ask Grandmother if she recognizes it."

"Yes."

Lin Yuan responded before he remembered to report, "By the way, Miss, Princess Feiyun said she can get it done today."

Li Shu was silent for a moment before asking, "Did she ask anything?"

"No, but Princess Feiyun looked at the porcelain bottle in silence for a long time."

"I see."

Li Shu could probably guess what Yin Feier was thinking at the time.

But she couldn't explain it to Fei'er now.

Thinking that the current queen would be pregnant soon, she subconsciously coiled the Buddhist beads on her wrist again.

Grandma said my mother called these beads signal blockers...

Block...

Then the signal points to the system owned by Xie Yu and the others...

After a while, she called Aunt Gui and asked her to cut the Buddhist beads and take out one-third of the beads.

In this way, when the Buddhist beads were put back on her hand, there would only be two circles left.

She directly put the bracelet on that wrist.

Just as she put away the beads she had taken off, Jingzhe came in and said, "Miss, Xiang Ma is here. She wants to discuss matters concerning the New Year with you."

Li Shu raised her eyebrows.

After she married into the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, she had helped Xu Daijun take care of trivial matters before and after the New Year three times.

Except for the first time when she took the initiative to come to Xu Daijun to ask for help, the other two times were when Xu Daijun asked Xiang Ma to come to her to discuss things.

But she thought that Xu Daijun would not let Nanny Xiang come to discuss with her this year.

After all, she had such a big fight with Ning Jin, and she hadn't cared about the affairs of their mansion for a long time.

I didn't expect Xu Daijun to let Nanny Xiang come...

Thinking of this, she said, "Please ask her to come in."

"Yes."

Jingzhe responded and went out, and in the blink of an eye, he led in Nanny Xiang, who was a little cautious and a little surprised.

After Xiang Ma came to Li Shu and paid her respects, she said, "I thought the Crown Prince's wife wouldn't let me in! Now that she has let me in, does that mean her anger has subsided a little?"

Li Shu said with a smile: "I haven't been angry for a long time."

"But hasn't the Crown Prince's wife treated the Crown Prince kindly so far?"

"After all, I've already made up my mind to divorce him, so why should I be nice to him?"

"..."

Nanny Xiang's expression changed, and then she said, "Actually, the princess had already anticipated that the Crown Prince's wife wouldn't be involved in the pre-New Year preparations this year, but the princess said that the Crown Prince's wife was still a daughter-in-law of the Ning family after all, so she asked me to come here as a formality to avoid giving people a chance to talk. In addition, the princess also asked me to tell the Crown Prince's wife that your third and fourth brothers had taken the Crown Prince to their general's residence early this morning."

In response, Li Shu said, "Mother could have just gone directly to the General's Mansion to ask for the person. What's the point of telling me?"

"The princess doesn't want the Crown Prince's wife to go to the General's Mansion to ask for someone, but she thinks your third and fourth brothers brought the Crown Prince to their General's Mansion in order to force him to accept Xie Yu and his mother."

"What does this have to do with me? I already said I could accept Xie Yu and her son."

"...Since that's the case, I, this old servant, will take my leave."

After Xiang Ma finished speaking, she bowed respectfully to Li Shu before leaving.

Only after leaving the bamboo garden did she sigh secretly.

The princess still holds the idea that the Crown Prince's wife is acting out of spite. So, she was asked to come to Bamboo Garden today just to confirm the Crown Prince's wife's attitude, right?

As she thought.

After she returned to Zhuyuan, she reported the truth to Xu Daijun.

Xu Daijun sighed and said, "It seems that Li Shu will not be able to give Jin'er children. So we can only reluctantly let Xie Yu give birth to the child first. After a few years, when Jin'er's feelings for Li Shu have faded, we can let Jin'er take a few concubines to expand the family. By then, any children born by Xie Yu have bad personalities, they will be sent out of the mansion and adopted by a branch of the family."

"The princess is wise!"

"Ugh!"

Xu Daijun sighed deeply.

If she had been wise, Jin'er and Li Shu might not have ended up like this!

At this time, in the Zhenbei General's Mansion.

Li Shen dragged Ning Jin to Xie Yu's bedside, pointed at Xie Yu, whose face was pale and breathless, and said, "Look at what Yu'er has become because of your mother! She not only risked her life to save you, but also helped you a lot. No matter how angry you are about her drugging you before, no matter how much you regret being too nice to her and neglecting Xiaoshu, you shouldn't be so cold-blooded towards her! And what about the child in her belly? You don't know how much blood your father lost after bringing Yu'er home, but the child is still fine. The imperial doctors all call it a miracle! And they are your own flesh and blood after all, do you really not care at all?"

Ning Jin has been suffering from insomnia lately.

I drank a lot of wine last night and got myself drunk.

Who would have thought that before he could sleep for a while, he was forcibly pulled up by Li Shen.

I'm still feeling groggy at this moment.

So after listening to Li Shen's long speech, he blurted out, "They?"

"You may not know this yet, but Yu'er is pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl!"

"You can tell it's twins so early?"

"This is what Envoy Guo said. If you don't believe it, you can go and confirm it with Envoy Guo."

"..."

Ning Jin didn't say anything else, just stared at Xie Yu with a frown.

She certainly looked like she was dying.

Although he had thought more than once before that only after she and the child were gone could his life get back on track and he would have a chance to win back Shushu's heart.

But at this moment, facing Xie Yu, whose breathing was very weak, his mind was full of the scene when Xie Yu rushed in front of him without caring about his own safety to block the fatal blow for him. He felt extremely sorry and despised himself.

He shouldn't have gotten too close to Xie Yu because of Xie Yu's life-saving grace, which led to Xie Yu developing inappropriate thoughts about him and then hypnotizing him.

Although he has not found any clues to prove that Xie Yu hypnotized him!

But he would never accept Xie Yu's feelings just because of the life-saving grace, and the twin children in Xie Yu's belly.

Because that would make him lose Shushu completely!

Although he seems to have lost Shushu...

Who would have thought that Li Shen would lean closer to his ear and whisper, "Ning Jin, Xiaoshu's personality is very clear to us. Once she makes up her mind, she will never forgive you easily, and it will be impossible for her to bear children for you. Yu'er and Xiaoshu look so much alike. The child Yu'er bears for you will definitely look a lot like the one you and Xiaoshu have. Don't you want to know what your child with Xiaoshu will look like?"
