Logically speaking, Liu Xinmian's belly is already so big, her mother should come to take care of her, but the Liu family does not take this daughter seriously, especially after knowing that they can't take advantage of her, they are unwilling to even look at her.

Although Zhu Yue didn't understand the train of thought of Liu's parents, she always felt more distressed for Liu Xinmian.

"What are you kidding about?"

Zhu Yue rolled her eyes at Xiao Huanyu. Even if that was the truth, she couldn't say it out loud. How embarrassing would that be?

At this time, Xiao Huanyu also realized that he had said the wrong thing. He blushed with embarrassment and said softly, "Madam, I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."

"It doesn't matter. The prince didn't say anything wrong. They just didn't take me seriously in the first place."

"But it doesn't matter. The prince treats me well, and Ah Yue treats me even better. I'm not afraid of anything. If they treat me badly, then that's not good. I don't like them either!"

After saying that, Liu Xinmian directly pulled Zhu Yue and walked into the room together.

After entering the room, Liu Xinmian pulled up her belly to show her the hideous lines on it.

"Ayue, I feel that the favor between me and the prince is about to come to an end."

"Look at these marks on my body, how could he not despise them?"

Liu Xinmian lowered her eyes, revealing a hint of helplessness.

"I'm just afraid that he will hate our child because he hates me."

Zhu Yue reached out and gently touched the lines.

In fact, she also had these lines when she was pregnant. Although they recovered a lot after giving birth, they can still be seen if you look closely.

Seeing Liu Xinmian like this, Zhu Yue sighed helplessly and said directly: "All women will have these symptoms when they are pregnant and giving birth. Don't worry, after the child is born, use the best ointment to take care of it, and it will soon be invisible."

"Can it really be fully recovered? Can I really become blind again?" Liu Xinmian looked at Zhu Yue with curiosity.

Zhu Yue nodded and said, "In my last life, after I gave birth to Yun Lan, my body was covered with dense lines like this. Later, I used the ointment given by the Imperial Hospital, and it got much better. After that, it was hard to see clearly. Don't worry, Huan'er is not the kind of person who only looks at the appearance. He likes you as a person!"

"He likes Su Xueyao, always has. I'm just a substitute. If it weren't for this face, I'm afraid we wouldn't have this marriage." Liu Xinmian lowered her eyes and sighed.

She still cared a lot about being kept around as a substitute. Although she tried hard to tell herself that there was no need to mind it, she found that it was too difficult not to mind it. It was simply impossible not to mind it.

After hearing this, Zhu Yue sighed helplessly, and then said directly: "Your child is about to be born, you can't have wild thoughts. If he really likes Su Xueyao, he will marry her directly. He is a nobleman and he wants any kind of woman. He really loves you, don't talk nonsense, understand?"

"Actually, I know I should trust the prince, but I don't know why I feel so uncomfortable. I'm so scared. What if..."

"It won't happen."

Zhu Yue suddenly hugged Liu Xinmian. Pregnant women tend to overthink, and Liu Xinmian was a delicate person, so she naturally thought even more. Plus, there were so many things going on during this period that Xiao Huanyu really couldn't take care of her.

Feeling Zhu Yue's warm embrace, Liu Xinmian suddenly felt that all the loss and worry disappeared. She leaned on Zhu Yue's shoulder and said in a choked voice: "In fact, as long as the child is fine, I am not afraid of anything. I just hope that our child can be born safely."

"I definitely will." Zhu Yue looked at Liu Xinmian very seriously, took the handkerchief, and gently wiped her tears.

After a while, Liu Xinmian was coaxed to sleep by Zhu Yue.

After coming out of the room, Zhu Yue went straight to the study. Seeing Xiao Huanyu still processing the documents, he knitted his eyebrows and said unhappily, "Didn't you notice that there's something wrong with your wife?"

"The Queen Mother also discovered it?"

"Mianmian has been crying secretly lately. She won't tell me anything when I ask her. Mother, what's wrong with her?"

Xiao Huanyu's face was also full of grievance. He could naturally find that something was wrong with his wife, but he really didn't understand why.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, all the anger in Zhu Yue's heart disappeared, and in the end, only helplessness remained. After rolling her eyes fiercely, she said unhappily: "You little bastard, let me ask you, do you really like Mianmian, or do you just regard Mianmian as a substitute for Su Xueyao?"

"What are you talking about, mother? What Su Xueyao? I have forgotten where she is and what she looks like now! How could I possibly like her? How could I possibly treat Mianmian as a substitute?"

"I really like Mianmian. She is the best girl I have ever met. I will protect her for the rest of my life!"

Xiao Huanyu looked at Zhu Yue very seriously, feeling a little anxious.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Yue finally felt relieved. She waved her hand and said calmly, "You don't have to say these words so loudly in front of me. Just remember them in your heart. I tell you, Mianmian is the best woman in the world. If you dare to let her down, don't be my son."

"Of course I won't let her down, but mother, why is she so depressed?" Xiao Huanyu still doesn't understand what's going on with his wife.

Zhu Yue thought about it, and then said helplessly: "In the end, it's all her parents' fault. Why don't they like a good child? Why do they have to bully and target her like this? If I find out there's anything wrong with them, I will tear them apart myself!"

"I also know that even though Mianmian doesn't say it, she still cares about this matter in her heart."

"Mother, the Liu family doesn't ask for much, can I give it to them?"

Xiao Huanyu looked at Zhu Yue cautiously.

He is a prince, a member of a royal family. If he wants to promote someone, he doesn't need too many words, just some arrangements.

But he knew that he shouldn't do this, and the Liu family was not worthy of him doing this.

Seeing the child like this, Zhu Yue sighed helplessly: "If you give it to them now, they will only become more aggressive. Isn't this just drinking poison to quench thirst? I'm afraid you can't solve this problem at all."

"No matter what, there are children in this world who don't love their own children. It's not something that can be changed by one person or one thing. So what you can do is not to put too much effort on the Liu family, but to spend more time and tenderness with the people you love the most. Don't put the cart before the horse. Do you understand?"

"I understand, mother. It's great to have you by my side."
