Thinking of this, Lin Qingrou became a little agitated. "Why did your Highness say that? Is there something wrong with the child?"

Before Xiao Jingyi could speak, the door of the room was pushed open.

"Sister, when you ask this, do you really hope that something bad will happen to your 'child'?"

The two looked in the direction of the voice and saw Tang Yingqian and Ji Weiwei walked in together.

Following them, besides their maids, were Yuting and Xiaju who had been waiting outside the door.

In order to prevent the two from revealing the matter to Lin Qingrou in advance and affecting the authenticity of the questioning, Xiao Jingyi asked the two to wait outside the door.

Yuting followed Tang Yingqian very obediently, but Xia Ju beside her was getting very anxious and kept trying to hint to Lin Qingrou with her eyes and actions.

But Lin Qingrou knew nothing at the moment. She only saw Xia Ju looking fierce from a distance, but she didn't understand what she wanted to express.

Yuting chuckled in her heart when she saw this. No matter how hard Xia Ju tried, it would be in vain. Lin Qingrou would definitely not understand just by using such gestures.

Moreover, all this was planned by the princess to make Lin Qingrou suffer, so she was naturally not prepared at all.

Just now, she heard some noise inside the house and knew that Lin Qingrou had woken up, so she took the opportunity of going to the toilet to inform Tang Yingqian. That was why Tang Yingqian and Ji Weiwei were able to rush over so quickly.

"I have met the prince."

Xiao Jingyi nodded when he heard this, "The princess and Concubine Ji are here, sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lin Qingrou was still thinking about what Ji Weiwei had just said, so she didn't react at all.

Ji Weiwei sat down slowly and said to Xiao Jingyi, "Your Majesty, Aunt Lin is awake, but she seems a little absent-minded. She didn't say a word to the princess and me. Did Aunt Lin forget the etiquette after a nap?"

After hearing Ji Weiwei's sarcasm, Lin Qingrou came back to her senses and quickly said, "I pay my respects to the Princess and Concubine Ji."

Lin Qingrou had just woken up and was still a little weak, so she just sat on the bed and said a few words to express her feelings.

If this had happened on any other day, Ji Weiwei would have definitely made trouble for Lin Qingrou.

But today, even bigger troubles were waiting for Lin Qingrou, so Ji Weiwei was too lazy to find fault anymore and just made a small sarcasm.

"Mrs. Lin has just woken up. I dare not accept your gift. It is too embarrassing for me."

Lin Qingrou didn't want to care about these things at this moment. She was more concerned about what Ji Weiwei meant when she just entered the door.

Looking at Ji Weiwei's attitude, and the fact that Xia Ju was always anxious to express something to her.

Lin Qingrou always had a bad feeling that something big was going to happen today, and it would be extremely unfavorable to her.

Lin Qingrou didn't want to be kept in the dark, so she decided to take the initiative.

"Concubine Ji, I dare to ask you, what did you mean by what you said just now? What do you mean by I really hope that the child is okay? Everyone knows that I value this child very much, so I may have been a little blunt in my words. I hope Concubine Ji will not mind."

Ji Weiwei sneered when she heard this, "Oh, Aunt Lin is such a good actress. She still hasn't given up even now. Whether you really didn't understand what I said just now or you were pretending not to understand, I'm afraid only you know. Aunt Lin, I'm kindly reminding you that your carefully planned plan has been discovered. Don't keep pretending. It's so boring."

Ji Weiwei's cold words made Lin Qingrou even more confused. What on earth was she talking about?

Ji Weiwei did indeed always dislike her, but she had never mocked her so blatantly in front of Xiao Jingyi.

Lin Qingrou secretly glanced at Xiao Jingyi's expression. There was no surprise or anger on his face, but it was very calm.

Considering what Xiao Jingyi had asked her just now, Lin Qingrou was now certain that something big must have happened when she was unconscious yesterday, and that this event must be related to her child.

Lin Qingrou was about to continue asking questions when the door of the room was pushed open again.

"I originally just wanted to come and see my third sister, but I didn't expect that her room would be so lively. My husband, it seems that we came to the right place today. We met all the masters of the Kang Palace in my third sister's room early in the morning."

The people who came were Xiao Jingxuan and Lin Qingyao. Everyone present, including Tang Yingqian, was shocked.

It's just that other people were surprised why the two of them appeared here, while Tang Yingqian was surprised that the two of them came so early and went straight into Lin Qingrou's room.

Xiao Jingyi was also shocked. These two people were too arrogant. They walked into the yard without even saying hello.

Xiao Jingyi, who was already somewhat unhappy, now had a sullen face. "I didn't know that it was so easy to enter my Prince Kang's Mansion. Anyone can come here uninvited."

Looking at Xiao Jingyi's livid face, Lin Qingyao chuckled.

According to the time calculation, Xiao Jingyi should have known about Lin Qingrou's fake pregnancy, so he naturally couldn't be in a good mood.

The couple smiled at each other, not paying attention to Xiao Jingyi's sarcasm.

However, the doorman who was following behind them was frightened by what happened and quickly knelt down to apologize.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. It was my fault that I failed to stop Prince Chen and Princess Chen. I have already told you that it is not convenient to entertain guests at Prince Kang's Mansion today. But you said that they are your brothers and sisters, family members, not guests, and you don't care about these empty formalities and insisted on coming in. Prince Chen and Princess Chen insisted on doing so, and I dared not stop them."

The gatekeeper knew his master's temper very well. He was terrified at the moment and was shaking all over.

Seeing this, Jamel Xiao took the initiative to help and said, “Fourth brother, Yao’er was worried that her sister came to visit anxiously, so we came in despite being stopped. It has nothing to do with him, so don’t blame him.”

Xiao Jingyi felt disgusted when he saw Xiao Jingxuan's considerate look towards his servants. It was because of this that he was always respected by everyone. How could Xiao Jingyi not be angry?

But he himself couldn't do that. Even if Jamel Xiao was pretending, he could keep pretending like this, which was also a skill.

With Jamel Xiao and Lin Qingyao watching here, Jamel Xiao naturally wouldn't punish him.

"Since my fifth brother has spoken for you, I will spare your life for now. However, you are still responsible for this matter. Go down and accept the punishment. This will not happen again."

Xiao Jingyi said this specifically for the couple to hear, meaning that this time it should be let go, but if it happens again, it won't be so easy to get away with it.

The doorman breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. At least his life was saved.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will go right away. I will take my leave."
