When Yaoniang woke up, she saw a small face as soon as she opened her eyes.

It was Xiaobao.

He sat cross-legged next to Yaoniang, furrowing his little brows. His serious look was as if he was deep in thought, making people want to laugh.

At this moment Yaoniang realized that she seemed to have fainted. Thinking that she had frightened the child, she hurriedly said, “Xiaobao, Mother is fine. Mother is…”

A series of rapid footsteps sounded. Yuchan along with a few other maids rushed over.

Yuchan lightly pressed on her shoulder. “Madam, you must not move.”

“Whatever you want to do, let us maids do it.”

The appearance of the many maids caused Yaoniang to think that something had happened to her. Could she have gotten some sort of incurable disease? Her face immediately turned pale and she couldn’t help but glance at Xiaobao.

“What’s the matter with you all? Or rather, what’s wrong with me?”

“Madam, nothing is wrong with you and nothing is wrong with us servants. It’s just that you’re pregnant and it’s been almost three months.”

Pregnant?

It wasn’t the first time for her to be a mother. Yaoniang could still remember how ignorant she was when she was pregnant with Xiaobao. She didn’t know why her belly was getting bigger and only thought that she was gaining fat.

She had mocked herself, thinking that despite what happened she could still gain weight.

Then her mother asked her how long it had been since her last menstruation and she answered honestly. Her mother started to sob, hitting her with her hand as she cried. She called her an embarrassment and wailed what should they do next.

At that time, she felt that the sky was falling.

She hated it. Why did she have to be pregnant with a vile spawn? But it didn’t take long for the child in her stomach to move. Sometimes, he would turn, spin, and even burp inside of her in the dead of night. He was like a small fish, spitting bubbles inside her womb. Unknowingly, she began to have expectations.

At the time of Xiaobao’s birth, she gave birth rather quickly.

Back then, Huiniang had taken her home to help her cover up the matter. Yaoniang didn’t dare to go out or even leave her room, in fear of people discovering her bulging belly. She stayed in the house all day, every day.

But then her sister said that this was no good. If she didn’t move around, she might have a difficult labour. So she could only walk in circles in the limited space she had. She’d lost count of the number of circles she’d walked in and before she knew it, the day of childbirth arrived. It had only taken her a bit more than two hours to give birth.

Huiniang said she was fortunate and that her child must’ve understood what it means to care for others. At that time, the exhausted her looked at the wrinkled Xiaobao and her heart was filled with confusion. This counted as being fortunate?

But it was true that her fate was good. When her sister gave birth to Hong’er, it took her an entire day and night.

Obviously, this was a long time ago. After all, she had lived for two lifetimes. Yet it still felt like yesterday. Yaoniang’s tears immediately gushed out and she couldn’t tell whether it was from joy or sorrow.

At some point, Jin Wang came in and Yuchan retreated.

Feeling someone sitting next to her, Yaoniang raised her head and saw Jin Wang’s taunt face.

“What are you crying about? Unless you don’t want to give birth for this prince?”

Yaoniang was speechless.

Jin Wang’s face became even more taunt. “Or are you afraid of giving birth to a child and wronging this brat? Don’t worry, this prince will not treat him badly in the future.”

Jin Wang didn’t say this promise out loud before because of the gap in his heart. He also always believed that actions speak louder than words and that there was no need to make flowery speeches. But now—

He saw how miserable and pitiful she was, how her eyes and nose were red from crying, and how she couldn’t stop her tears. Then he thought about what Doctor Liu had said, that a pregnant woman should avoid unnecessary thoughts, worries, as well as excessive joy.

Jin Wang wasn’t there earlier because he went to ask Doctor Liu about these things. Doctor Liu filled out three large sheets of paper with things to be careful with and to avoid. As Jin Wang sat there, watching him write, he suddenly heard the maids inside asking in a panicked voice what was wrong.

He immediately started to panic. Despite knowing that nothing could’ve happened to her, his heartbeat still almost stopped. After he went in, he saw that she was fine, except that she was sitting on the bed, crying. Several maids were all surrounding her. Only then did he realize how embarrassingly panicked he was.

Fortunately, no one noticed it.

Little Brat Xiaobao, sitting to the side, watched his father, who had always worn a cold expression, coax his mother with a straight face.

After careful analysis just now, Xiaobao determined that it was Erbao in his mother’s belly. He was still Xiaobao, not the species of that dead man. He deduced this from the fact that when his mother was pregnant with Erbao in his previous life, there was also a poisoning incident in the manor. Except, this time, the victim wasn’t his mother, but Side Consort Hu.

Of course, this was all speculation, but Xiaobao had a hunch that he was right.

“I’m not. I was only a bit surprised. I still have milk, so how could I be pregnant…” said Yaoniang with a blushing face.

Jin Wang coughed slightly, “This prince asked Doctor Liu about this. He said that women who are breastfeeding could still get pregnant.”

Speaking of this, Jin Wang had been quite surprised. He obviously planted a lot of seeds into the little nanny’s belly, but he never saw any growth. Doctor Liu once told him in private that the poison in his body might affect his ability to have children, so he didn’t pay too much attention to this. If he had known earlier that it was not easy for a woman to become pregnant during breastfeeding, he would have stopped her from breastfeeding.

After hearing Jin Wang’s words, Yaoniang said ‘oh’ in a quiet voice.

Unexpectedly, she had been pregnant for so long without even realizing it. Ever since she gave birth to Xiaobao, her menstruation never came. Many women would only have it once they stopped breastfeeding their children, so she didn’t take this to heart.

Yaoniang couldn’t help staring at her stomach. So inside was another baby?

“You rest first. This prince still has something to do. When it’s done, this prince will come to see you.”

Yaoniang then remembered that she seemed to have fainted in Liuchun Pavilion. What happened to Side Consort Hu?

“Have you found out how Sister Side Consort Hu was poisoned?”

Gloom flashed in Jin Wang’s eyes, and he said, “You don’t need to worry about this matter. Focus on resting well.” After speaking, Jin Wang left.

Only the mother and son were left behind. Yaoniang said to Xiaobao in a silly voice, “Xiaobao, you are about to have a younger brother!”

Even now, she felt as if she was still in a daze.

Xiaobao wanted to cover his face. No one could tell whether this child would be a male or a female. Besides, his background, including the identity of his biological father, was still unknown. How did he suddenly gain a new younger brother or sister?

But it did happen. He poked Yaoniang’s belly with his little finger.

Inside was Erbao.

Inexplicably, he held a sense of expectation.
