Chapter 15 Life in the Shu Mansion

Eldest brother is the crown prince’s companion reader. Perhaps, at an appropriate time, he could remind the crown prince to be cautious of the fifth prince.

But in her previous life, she had always stayed in the secluded courtyard of the Anding Marquis Mansion, unaware of the specific circumstances.

It wasn’t until the fifth prince ascended the throne, and An Shaoyu returned with Zhao Qing Qing, that she realized everything had changed.

It could be said that there was no evidence, and the fifth prince was still young, the same insignificant prince in the previous dynasty’s harem. If she acted too abruptly, people might think she was some kind of monster…

Shu Yuwans temporarily set aside her thoughts, not in a hurry, taking it slow, there were still seven years to go!

Life in the Shu Mansion was very comfortable.

Madam Shu took care of her daughter meticulously, sending various supplements like flowing water to the Green Bamboo Garden every day. She also arranged for a skilled midwife to serve in the Green Bamboo Garden, specializing in caring for pregnant women.

Every day, she made time to accompany Yuwans for a walk in the courtyard and have a chat.

Both her brothers, whenever they saw something good outside, would buy it and bring it back for Yuwans.

Both her sisters-in-law often brought their nephews and nieces to accompany her.

The whole family felt sorry for Yuwans and came to check on her whether there was something or nothing.

Qing He said, “Miss, it feels like you’ve returned to the time before you got married.”

Yuwan had been living these days very relaxed and happy, with family by her side.

The moon was as well-behaved as in the previous life, not causing any trouble for her.

Just then, Tang and Zhou arrived with their two children to see Yuwans.

Eldest brother’s son, Qing, was three years old, and second brother’s daughter, Yuan, was two. Both children were smart and adorable.

As soon as they entered, they greeted Yuwans. The two little ones crisply said, “Hello, Auntie!”

Yuwan pulled each of them to her side, “Oh, Qing and Yuan are so well-behaved.”

The two little ones moved closer to Yuwan.

Tang and Zhou pulled them back a bit, “Oops, we forgot. Auntie has a baby in her belly, be careful not to bump into Auntie!”

The two retreated to Yuwan’ side, squatting down, curiously looking at her belly, and asked, “Auntie, when will the little sister in your belly come out?”

“When the little sister comes out, I’ll play with her and give her my little tiger!”

Qing spoke slowly but clearly.

Yuan couldn’t speak as long a sentence yet but happily said, “Sister, sister!”

“Sister, in just over two months, she’ll be out! By then, Yuan will be the big sister!” Yuwan’ voice was sweet, comforting the two children.

“Sister, sister! I’m the big sister!” Yuan was extremely happy and wanted to jump up, but Zhou held her down.

“You two, how did you both decide that Auntie’s belly has a little sister?” Tang chuckled.

“Yes, Auntie’s belly looks pointed, like a boy!” Zhou said.

“It must be a girl.” Yuwan was very sure.

“It would be nice if it’s a girl, caring!”

“If it’s a boy, that’s good too. We can afford to raise him in the mansion, and the two uncles can teach him. He’ll have a future.” Tang smiled.

Zhou glanced at Tang and nodded, “Yes, a boy or a girl is fine.”

Yuwan felt warm-hearted. The two sisters-in-law were telling her that they didn’t mind if she had a boy to share the family’s assets and resources.

Having two sisters-in-law like them was also her good fortune.

In any case, this life, she had to protect the Shu Mansion and her loved ones.

“Looking at the belly isn’t always accurate. I just know that I’m carrying a girl.”

“Alright, alright, if you say it’s a girl, then it’s a girl.” Tang chuckled.

“It’s been seven months now. In a while, your body will really start to feel heavy, and you might feel uncomfortable. You must insist on moving around more. It’ll help reduce the pain during childbirth. I insisted on walking for an hour every day. When I gave birth to Yuan, she came out in three hours.” Zhou shared her experience.

“I understand, second sister-in-law, I’ll remember!” Yuwan coquettishly said.

“Mother, how many hours did it take for me to be born?” Qing, on the side, listened curiously and asked Tang.

Yuwan, Tang, and Zhou all chuckled.

“You, your mother was in labor for a whole day and night before giving birth to you! Qing, you must be filial to your mother as you grow up!” Zhou replied.

Qing looked a bit puzzled.

“Our Qing is patient.” Yuwan patted Qing’s head.

Both little ones looked at Yuwan with wide eyes.

After sitting for a while, the two sisters-in-law left with their children.

Seeing them off, Qing Dai came in to report, “Miss, the people guarding the Anding Mansion said that Zhao Qing Qing’s carriage went to the Xinglong Tavern.”

“The people from the Anding Marquis Mansion reported that Shaoyu also went to the Xinglong Tavern, but the two didn’t enter the same room.”

“Alright, keep an eye on these two. Report back on what they do, where they go, and anything you can find out.”

“Understood Miss Yuwan.”
