After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

Such a carefree question made Xie Jinglan pause.

Seeing that the gloom on his face had disappeared, replaced by a deep look in his eyes, Jiang Yuyue knew the importance of knowing when to stop. Now that she was about to give birth, she couldn't afford to stir things up again.

"Okay, I'm really going to do something serious now."

She took out a health talisman from her body and handed it to Xie Jinglan, her bright eyes curving into a smile. "This is the health talisman I got for you from Wanfu Temple. It is said to be extremely effective. You must keep it safe and not let my good intentions go to waste."

"Again, please? Are you going to ask every temple in the world for me?"

Xie Jinglan stroked the health talisman that still held her body heat and slowly took out another health talisman from his bosom.

Jiang Yuyue was somewhat surprised when she saw the item. She immediately recognized it as the talisman she had obtained for him at the Jin Guang Temple in the capital last Qixi Festival. She never expected that Xie Jinglan would still keep it close to his body after so long.

"The more the better."

Jiang Yuyue smiled and said, "As long as you are healthy, I would be willing to pray to every god and Buddha in the world."

Looking into her eyes, which shone like stars, I could tell that the sincerity within them was genuine.

Xie Jinglan's eyes flickered slightly, and just then, Jixiang walked in carrying a bowl of medicine. "Young Master, your medicine for today is ready..."

But as soon as Jixiang stepped across the threshold, he saw the two of them being so intimate. Startled, he quickly covered his eyes, put the medicine bowl on the table, and turned to leave.

Although everyone in this courtyard is family, and His Highness and Miss Jiang don't really need to avoid outsiders, they should at least close the door!

It would be so inappropriate for them to have caught us like this!

"Alright, it's more practical to take the medicine obediently than to pray to Buddha."

Seeing this, Jiang Yuyue got up from his arms, took the medicine bowl on the table and placed it in front of Xie Jinglan. She scooped up the medicine with a spoon, blew on it twice to make sure the temperature was right, and then held it to his lips. "Drink it."

"Do not."

Unexpectedly, Xie Jinglan refused, contrary to his usual behavior.

Jiang Yuyue frowned, about to offer some advice, but he said calmly, "Didn't you like using your mouth earlier? If you want to drink, then feed me with your mouth."

These words made Jiang Yuyue hesitate for a moment, not because she was ashamed, but because she was pregnant and could not take ordinary medicine.

Although Xie Jinglan's prescriptions are full of rare and precious medicinal herbs, it is not advisable to take the risk. If something were to happen to the child in her womb, it would be a great loss.

Seeing the hesitation on Jiang Yuyue's face, Xie Jinglan's eyes darkened and his voice turned cold, "You speak so well, but now you're even refusing such a small matter. It's true that you've become too lazy to care about a useless person like me after having a child. Since you despise me so much, then I don't need to drink this medicine."

How could I possibly dislike you?

Jiang Yuyue frowned, feeling that Xie Jinglan really loved to lie. She had just taken the initiative to kiss him, could it be that he had forgotten as soon as he turned his head?

But thinking that Xie Jinglan's emotional instability was probably due to his illness, Jiang Yuyue patiently explained, "It's not that I'm unwilling, but I'm currently pregnant and can't touch any medications. Although nothing is absolute, I can't joke about the safety of the child in my womb."

Xie Jinglan's suggestion was just a teasing remark, not an attempt to force her to feed him the medicine. Seeing her say that, he didn't insist. He simply took the medicine bowl from Jiang Yuyue's hand, tilted his head back, and drank all the medicine down.

"In that case, we'll wait until you've given birth safely before feeding you."

Seeing Xie Jinglan obediently drink the medicine, Jiang Yuyue felt much relieved. However, her brows furrowed slightly, as it was hard to say whether he would live to see that day, given his physical condition.

"You'd better stay home as much as possible during this time."

Xie Jinglan put down the medicine bowl and said calmly, "You're about to give birth, so stay home obediently to avoid any accidents. You should also contact the midwife as soon as possible."

Xie Jinglan rarely talked about these things, so his sudden concern today surprised Jiang Yuyue a little. She smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Butler Xiang has already arranged all of this."

After comforting Xie Jinglan, Jiang Yuyue returned to her room, her lips slightly pursed as she thought about her conversation with Prince Jing at Wanfu Temple the day before.

Although it was Prince Jing who took the initiative to extend an olive branch to her, just as he said, Prince Jing wasn't particularly interested in the unknown treasure she possessed. If she didn't make a decision soon, she might miss the opportunity to cooperate with Prince Jing.

But before that, Jiang Yuyue also needed to confirm whether Prince Jing was related to the case of her family's massacre.

But now that her due date is approaching, she will certainly not have time to take care of these things during the delivery period, so she really doesn't have much time left.

"Xiao Liu."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yuyue immediately called Xiao Liu over, "Go prepare the car, I need to go find Zheng Guang."

Upon receiving the news, Zheng Guang immediately went to the teahouse where they used to meet. He hurried up to the second floor, and as soon as he pushed open the door to the private room, Jiang Yuyue was already waiting there.

"Miss."

Upon receiving the news, Zheng Guang rushed over. After giving Jiang Yuyue a slight bow, he wiped the sweat from his brow and asked, "I wonder what urgent matter Miss has summoned me for today?"

Do you know anything about Prince Ning, Song Yunming?

Jiang Yuyue got straight to the point upon arrival, "Has he made any moves recently?"

Zheng Guang was puzzled when he heard this. It was one thing for Miss to investigate Prince Jing a few days ago, but now she wants to investigate Prince Ning as well.

Although he had some doubts, Zheng Guang immediately replied, "Miss, because you previously asked me to focus on investigating Prince Jing, there wasn't much information about Prince Ning. However, I do know a little about his movements. About half a month ago, someone saw him appear in the capital. Other than that... I don't know much."

Hearing this, a hint of annoyance flashed in Jiang Yuyue's eyes. Sure enough, it wasn't easy to find out information about the royal family. Prince Ning was far away, and she hadn't paid attention to his movements when her family was in trouble. Now, it was really troublesome to find out if Prince Ning was involved in the massacre of her family.

"From now on, in addition to continuing to keep an eye on Prince Jing, we should also pay close attention to Prince Ning's movements."

Jiang Yuyue looked at Zheng Guang and said solemnly, "Spend a lot of money to investigate the Ning Prince's movements in Jiangnan a few days ago. Where he appeared and what he did. As long as it is related to him, no matter what you find out, you must report to me in detail. Do not miss any details."

It was rare to see his young mistress so serious, so Zheng Guang quickly nodded.

"Yes! Leave this to me!"

Watching Zheng Guang leave to carry out his orders, Jiang Yuyue felt an even bigger headache, wondering how much she could actually find out.
