Fu Jiujiu pushed the door open and saw Zou Zhongbei lying on the bed. The room had a faint smell of blood. Fu Jiujiu glanced at the closed window, knowing that Nian Xia must have already gone to open it.

"It's so hot today, you're still covered up like this, aren't you afraid of getting heat rash? Then it will be even harder to deal with."

<< Zou Zhongbo didn't think much of it, "Come here and take a look. I don't think the medicine Coral sent over is very effective. It stops bleeding well enough, but after one night, I feel even more pain."

He believes in his sister's medical skills.

Then that's right.

Zou Zhongbai became even more puzzled. "How can it be right?"

"Then it's good, what else does Coral need to do? From now on, your illness I won’t take care of anymore, I'll leave it all to Coral. As for whether you'll have scars or bleed, I take no responsibility! Just get well soon."

"Whoa... Little sister, what are you saying?" Zou Zhongbai touched his head, "Are you still my little sister? Or did I have a fever and am dreaming?"

Fu Jiu chuckled, placed her hand on his wrist for a moment before quickly withdrawing it. She did want to see the wound, but considering how Er Ge wouldn't allow it, she understood. After all, men and women shouldn't be too intimate. "Brother Tang Qi didn't say that we weren't allowed to get hurt, right? These are just flesh wounds,"

"Humph!" Zou Zhongbo became even angrier, "The Crown Prince is going too far."

"Alright, alright, Second Brother. I've already let Coral move in. As for my second sister-in-law, well, that's up to you to figure out."

"What... what? What are you talking about, what's with the second sister-in-law this and that."

Fu Jiujiu curled her lips, "It's all over the city that you two shared a ride on the street and even hugged tightly. The noble ladies of the capital are buzzing about it, everyone thinks you and Coral are a couple. If this isn't true, then you'll be branded as a heartless playboy."

Zhou Zhongbai tilted his head to look at her, his movements too big, pulling at the wound, wincing in pain. "Jiu Jiu, you must have been led astray by Tang Xian."

Fu JiuJiu beamed, "I'm doing this for your own good, and to ease the worries of your godparents. If you don't bring a wife back soon, they'll be getting anxious."

Fu Jiujiu and Zou Zhongbo argued for a while, but seeing that he was in good spirits, she decided to head back. She also needed some rest.

As soon as I stepped out of the yard, I saw Hang Xueyin. "Sister,"

"Fu JiuJiu responded with a smile, 'Sister-in-law, how are you feeling?'"

"Well, after you had the tonic that someone brought you earlier, you feel much better." Hang Xueyin smiled gently. "I also just heard that you were here, so I thought I'd come and see you. However, with my belly, I couldn't walk fast, but luckily I made it in time."

Fu Jiujiu quickened her pace and walked over. First, she greeted the little one inside through Hang Xueyin's stomach. Strangely enough, the little one actually kicked his mother hard, as if responding to Fu Jiujiu.

"Oh, he's moving. It seems like he knows his little aunt is here."

Fu Jiaojiao giggled softly, and patted her sister-in-law's stomach. "Sister-in-law, you're almost there. The baby has dropped, so it won't be long before birth. Just stay at home and move around recently, avoid going out as much as possible. Have the midwife all set up?"

"Well, these days my waist and legs are aching, and I can't walk very far. With you saying this, where would I even go out?" Hang Xueyin said with a smile, "It seems like I won't be able to see your wedding."

At that time, Hangzhou Xueyin had just given birth and was recuperating after childbirth. She definitely couldn't go out.

Fu Jiujiu giggled softly, "Then when sister-in-law wants to see me, I'll come back, won't I?"

"Oh, I wouldn't dare. You'll be a Princess Consort then."

"What kind of princess consort wouldn't act like one? You're my sister-in-law, so you'll always be my sister-in-law."

Hang Xueyin initially had some prejudice against Fu Jiujiu. Although she never thought of doing bad things, she was jealous, for she was an ordinary person.

>But she was fortunate that she didn't forget her true intentions. She wasn't blinded by jealousy. Grabbing Fu Jiujiu's hand, she sincerely said: "Then, I wish my sister-in-law a happy marriage with the prince for a hundred years, with many children and grandchildren."

Fu Jiujiu's face flushed instantly. This was the first time she had ever heard anyone mention her and Tang Xian's child.

She grew up in the nest of children, having seen many births and raised children. She herself grew up from a child bit by bit, and she never thought she would also have a child.

Far away, Zou Yuansong watched the two sisters-in-law talking to each other, occasionally laughing softly.

"Young Master, didn't you say you were going to meet the County Miss?"

Zhou Yuansong also suddenly came home to get something. Hearing that Fu Jiujiao had come to his younger brother's place, he thought of coming over to take a look. However, when he saw his wife and Jiujiao talking happily,

He dismissed the thought, "It's not necessary. Official duties are important."

But...

Zou Yuansong spoke gently, "Madam, the baby is about to be born these days. Once labor begins, please send word as quickly as possible, understand?"

"Yes, I understand. Are you truly not going to see the county princess?" The attendant said again, he had been following Zou Yuansong for the longest time, and understood his master's thoughts best.

"Didn't you see me?" Zou Yuansong's eyes lit up, "Everyone is doing well. I'm leaving now."

Not long after he left, Fu Jiujiu also left.

On the carriage, Nian Xia said: "County princess, Young Master just watched you and the young mistress for a long time."

Fu Jiujiu nodded, "Hmm."

She actually felt it, after this trip to Huángcāng Country, although she had lost her ability to communicate with plants and animals, she felt that her five senses were much sharper.

"Strange, I always felt that the young master looked at you with a strange gaze. This time, he seems very calm."

Fu Jiaojiao smiled lightly, "What's strange? He's afraid that people will bully me. We grew up together since we were young, like a close brother. He's basically the same as before."

"It's far from it." Nianxia said.

Fu Jiu Jiu insisted, "It's almost the same."

Ningxia shrugged, "Well, you're the master, so you have the final say."

Fujujiao laughed, "That's perfect."

...Hang Xuyin returned to her room, lay on the bed, and the child in her belly pressed against her, making her whole body ache. She really didn't want to take a step. If it weren't for talking to Fu Jiujiu, she wouldn't have gone out at all.

She also learned from the maidservant that the young master had returned. Hearing that the county princess had come, she hurried to see him.

Hang Xueyin nodded, letting the maid leave. The maidservant beside her, La Mei, curiously said, "Madam, how come we haven't seen Young Master?"

Hang Xueyin pursed her lips. After seeing things more openly now, she found the world to be different. "Perhaps Young Master Xu saw that I was having a good chat with the County Princess and didn't bother us."

"The young master is very kind to you," said Lamei.

Hang Xueyin nodded, "Of course."

"The young master is handsome, gentle, and has a bright future ahead of him. He doesn't take concubines and is devoted to you..."

That's right, it's good.
