As soon as Luo Ran entered Luo Ruxue's yard, he almost thought that he had gone to the wrong place.
Except for a few women and maids, the yard was quiet, and it didn't look like she was about to give birth.
Chunyu pulled a little maid and asked, "Didn't I say that your prince's wife is going to give birth? Where is the baby?"
The little maid glanced at Luo Ran timidly and replied: "The Crown Prince's wife launched the attack at midnight last night. The Duke's wife and the Crown Prince also came over. However, after waiting for an hour, the Crown Prince's wife was not seen alive. It was too cold. They went back and said they would come back later."
Chunyu looked at Luo Ran in disbelief.
Suddenly a scream came from the house.
Luo Ran stepped forward. When the woman at the door saw that she was the eldest young lady of the West Mansion, she hurriedly opened the curtain and reminded her considerately: "My eldest lady, please be careful."
Stepping into the inner room, it was actually chilly. Luo Ran tightened his cloak and took a casual look: it should be the delivery room that had been prepared in a hurry. There was still a thin layer of ash on the ancient bookshelf in the main hall, with only simple items on it. There were a few vases, and they looked like the most ordinary things.
Thinking about it, Luo Ruxue was afraid of arousing others' suspicion, so she bribed the doctor who usually treated her, and she didn't even dare to prepare the delivery room in advance.
He opened another curtain and entered the inner room.
Luo Ruxue was still shouting at the top of her lungs, but when she saw that the person coming was her, her voice was stuck in the middle.
Luo Ran stepped forward and looked her over, and his eyes finally fell on her swollen belly.
Luo Ruxue looked at her warily, covering her stomach with her hands, and said nervously: "You, what do you want to do?"
Because she was nervous, there was a sudden pain in her stomach, and she frowned unconsciously.
Luo Ran smiled slightly: "Second sister, don't worry, I'm not that stupid."
Luo Ruxue still didn't seem to believe it. She glanced behind her and asked, "Why is it you?"
Luo Ran raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise, who do you think the second sister is?"
After saying that, he suddenly realized: "Oh, you are asking about Duke Jingguo and the Crown Prince, right? They are not here."
Luo Ruxue heard a flash of disappointment on her face.
Chunyu said to the two nuns in the room: "You go and wait outside. Our lady has something to say to the Crown Prince's wife."
The two Wen Pos looked at each other, and they both knew that the Crown Prince's wife in front of them was still far away from giving birth. The amniotic fluid had just broken a little, and they were screaming loudly.
Luo Ran always had a faint smile on his lips.
Luo Ruxue's eyes flashed and she said, "You guys go out, I'll call you if anything happens."
After the maid went out, Luo Ran slowly sat on the embroidery stool beside the bed and said slowly: "I was made pregnant by you and my second aunt before we were married. I was worried every day. I was afraid that the matter would be exposed and I would soak in the pig cage." It doesn’t matter, in the end it will hurt dad and the Shen family. Later, I finally got over it."
Luo Ruxue opened her eyes wide: "You, you mean..."
Luo Ran smiled and nodded: "Yes, Qing Ning and Jing Xing are my biological children."
Because she was too shocked, Luo Ruxue couldn't make a sound for a while. Her mother had made a guess with her before, but unfortunately she never found any evidence.
But if those two children are her biological children, then...
As if he knew what she was thinking, Luo Ran continued: "Don't worry, Qing Ning and Jing Xing are more legitimate than the children in your belly. At least, they are really your husband's children."
She wanted to say it was the Fu family's child, but she changed her words again.
Luo Ruxue's heart tightened: "What do you mean by this? You..."
"Shh! My sister is about to give birth now, so don't get too excited."
Luo Ran stood up, smoothed the hem of his clothes, and curled his lips: "Okay, let's just say this much for today. Don't delay my sister's delivery. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you. You may not know it if you have never given birth. Now It's best not to shout loudly, but to save your strength and use it together. I'm doing this for your own good! As for the Li family, don't worry, my sister, the wedding eggs are ready, and I will have someone deliver them to my sister when the time comes. .”
"you!"
Luo Ruxue's face instantly lost color, and she felt that Luo Ran already knew.
Calling Chuntao, she bit her lip and asked, "Did you betray me?"
Chun Tao's head was broken, and only then did Luo Ruxue believe it. It's a pity that she doesn't have time to think about it now, because this time, she is really going to give birth.
After Luo Ran left, he happened to meet Fu Shiheng who was rushing over on the road.
She stopped and stood aside, waiting for him to pass.
Unexpectedly, Fu Shiheng stopped in front of her.
He looked at her greedily for a few times and then said in a hoarse voice: "Why are you here? It's cold. You should pay attention to your health."
Luo Ran frowned in disgust and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My second sister is about to give birth. You'd better go and see her."
After saying that, he walked around him.
It wasn't until her figure disappeared that Fu Shiheng turned around. The warmth on his face disappeared in an instant. He asked the boy beside him impatiently: "How long will she continue to toss? It started in the middle of the night. How long has it been? Why?" Not yet born!”
The boy hurriedly bent down and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this is how women give birth to children."
"trouble!"
Fu Shiheng complained and went to Heng'an Courtyard.
-
"Madam! Please wait a moment!"
Just as Luo Ran was about to pass through the small door, he heard someone calling him from behind, so he stopped and turned around.
Qiqin came from not far away and said loudly on purpose: "Madam, I heard that you came from the Imperial Concubine. I just want to ask how the Imperial Concubine is doing, because, because..."
He lowered his head and twisted the handkerchief, looking timid.
Everyone in Duke Jingguo's residence knew that the Crown Princess had always disliked Aunt Qin. Even with the Crown Prince's protection, the Crown Princess would always find trouble for Aunt Qin.
Fortunately, Aunt Qin still misses her.
Luo Ran smiled and said, "Don't worry, the imperial concubine is fine and she should be giving birth soon."
Qiqin breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: "That's good, that's good."
As the two of them talked, they walked to a corner. Qiqin glanced around and whispered: "County Master, the prince drank too much in the past two days and came back and said that he is not the prince's biological son. But if the Nu family asks again, the prince will not be able to say anything."
Luo Ran clenched the veil unconsciously.
Qiqin saw that she didn't speak, and she didn't make a sound either.
After a while, he asked: "Have you noticed anything wrong with Duke Jingguo or the Crown Prince in the past two days?"
Qiqin thought for a while and shook her head, then suddenly said: "Last night at midnight, the Crown Prince's wife started to attack. The Crown Prince took a look and then came back. However, before he could lie down, he was called away by Duke Jingguo again, and he didn't come back until almost dawn. Moreover, , it looks like he has left the house."
Luo Ran nodded and signaled Chun Yu.
Chun Yu hurriedly took out a banknote from the purse at her waist, blocked it sideways, and then handed it over.
Qiqin hurriedly waved her hand to refuse.
Luo Ran said: "Don't worry, I specially asked someone to change this banknote. No one else can find out that I gave it to you. There is an old lady in the old lady's yard. You can find a way to talk to her. She may know More of it.”
Qiqin understood what she meant, took the bank note and immediately stuffed it into her sleeve, blessed Fu Shen, and said in a clear voice: "Since the Crown Prince's wife is fine, I don't have to worry anymore. Thank you, Madam, for informing me."
