Chapter 67 Doubts

The Crown Prince made an appearance, went through the process, encouraged the participating children, distributed the prepared prizes to the winning team, and then went to find Shu Yuwans.

Shu Yuwans smiled, “So soon.”

“After all, it was I who invited you out. It wouldn’t be right to leave you alone here for too long.”

Having not been out for a long time, Shu Yuwans was quite willing to come out and take a look. Apart from the dangerous incident on the road, she was quite happy today.

Seeing  Wenyue even happier, she couldn’t wait to stick her head out the window to look.

She clapped her hands from time to time.

“Let me escort you back.”

Shu Yuwans picked up  Wenyue, “Thank you, Your Highness.”

The Crown Prince actually wanted to sit with Shu Yuwans for a while longer, but couldn’t think of a good reason. Thinking that in just over three months, Shu Yuwans would be marrying into the  Palace, he no longer dwelled on it.

With the Crown Prince’s escort, the journey back was very peaceful.

…

A few days after the Dragon Boat Festival, Tang launched.

Tang was weak, and Mrs. Shu began to prepare well when Tang  was pregnant, and even found a skilled female doctor in the house.

Elder Brother often stayed at home with his sister-in-law, fearing that her mood would not be good.

From Tang ‘s initiative, Mrs. Shu and Shu Yuyang stood at the door, afraid of any mishaps.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly this time. In just four hours, the sound of a baby’s cry could be heard from the delivery room.

Shu Yuyang was overjoyed, took his reluctant gaze away from his daughter, and went inside to see Tang .

Seeing his wife’s tired face, Shu Yuyang’s eyes reddened slightly, holding his wife’s hand, “My love, you’ve worked hard. We have a son and a daughter now, we won’t have any more children in the future.”

This time, Tang  gave birth more smoothly, but she also knew that her body might not be able to bear another child. Seeing her husband consider her like this, she was touched and nodded, “I’ll listen to you.”

Mrs. Shu came in happily, holding the baby, and scolded Shu Yuyang, “Don’t stand here, let Tang rest for a while. Go see Qing Ge, and when Jianing wakes up, bring Qing Ge over.”

Tang  urged, “Go quickly.”

Shu Yuyang nodded and left.

Mrs. Shu held the baby and gently said to Tang, “Rest assured and sleep for a while, I’m here.”

Although Shu Yuwans had known the outcome early on, she still pretended to be happy when she heard the good news from the servants, “That’s great! I’ll go see my niece right away.”

When Shu Yuwans arrived, she saw Mrs. Shu smiling and instructing someone to report the good news to the Tang Mansion.

Shu Yuwans said, “Let me see my niece quickly.”

“The babysitter is feeding her.”

Soon, Zhou also arrived.

Mrs. Shu, seeing Zhou in a hurry, anxiously said, “You’re not well, be careful.”

Zhou greeted Mrs. Shu and hurriedly asked, “Mother, I came in a hurry to see my sister-in-law. Is she okay?”

Mrs. Shu smiled, harmony between sisters-in-law is a blessing, “She’s fine, rest assured, she’s sleeping now.”

Zhou, upon hearing this, did not disturb them and joined Mrs. Shu and Shu Yuwans to look at the baby, “Sister-in-law has always been talking about wanting a niece, and she finally got her wish. Look how lovely the niece is.”

Mrs. Shu nodded in agreement.

Shu Yuwans looked at her newborn niece, who had not yet fully grown, and shook her head helplessly.

Tang  named her daughter Wen Yi, and Qing Ge was extremely excited, always hovering around his sister’s crib, saying, “Call me brother, call me brother, little sister, I am your brother~”

Wenyue also joined in the fun, saying to her sister Yi, “Brother, brother…”

Zhou corrected on the side, “Wenyue, Yi should call you sister.”

Several adults on the side watched the dialogue between the children, smiling contentedly.

Mrs. Shu began to prepare for Yi’s  banquet.

Now that Shu Yuwans is about to marry into the Palace, the guest list for this banquet is no different from previous years. Mrs. Shu only planned to invite some relatives and friends to liven up the atmosphere.

Shu Yuwans was making clothes for Wenyue while chatting with Qing Dai.

In fact, she was not particularly outstanding in women’s handicrafts, but in the last few years of her previous life, in order to help her mother and them live a better life, she often did women’s handicrafts with Qing Dai and Qing He, sold some silver, and sent it to her mother and them.

Now, making clothes for Wenyue was quite handy.

Qing Dai sounded a bit cheerful, “Chunxiu is pregnant, and now An Shaoyu is going to the house more frequently. Zhao Qing Qing still doesn’t know.”

Shu Yuwans focused on embroidering the flowers on the sleeves, “He’s as infatuated as ever.”

Qing Dai snorted, “Yes, he was so desperate to divorce Miss and be with Zhao Qing Qing, saying that Zhao Qing Qing was true love. Now he’s quickly abandoned her, and true love has turned to Chunxiu.”

Shu Yuwans chuckled, “Indeed.”

Qing Dai felt relieved.

Zhao Qing Qing’s interference in the divorce between her lady and Miss, but she didn’t know it was her lady’s blessing. Now that her lady is about to become the Crown Princess, An Shaoyu’s heart is almost no longer with her.

While Shu Yuwans’ hands were busy, she thought, when Zhao Qing Qing and An Shaoyu are no longer in love, can they still work together to help the Fifth Prince as they did in the previous life?

“Miss, Zhao Qing Qing has been going to a villa outside the city frequently lately, and has bought a lot of materials for making fireworks.”

“Fireworks business is not particularly profitable, but Zhao Qing Qing personally made many trips. It’s a bit strange, the servant feels.”

Qing Dai was puzzled.

Shu Yuwans, upon hearing this, stopped her work and looked a bit doubtful.

She remembered that after the Crown Prince’s death, the second and third princes were dealt with by the Emperor, the second prince was executed, and the third prince was imprisoned.

The Third Prince also tried to unite with the mighty General Wei to force the palace. But Mr. Hou, with only a few thousand men, stopped three times as many troops of General Wei.

She vaguely remembered that when An Shaoyu brought Zhao Qing Qing back in a victorious manner after the Crown Prince’s death, he said that it was all thanks to Ah Qing, who had such powerful weapons! Suddenly exploding, much more powerful than crossbows, combined with the soldiers of the Anding Marquis family, the Fifth Prince was able to win.

Shu Yuwans pondered.

Explosive weapons?

Could it be that one?

Looking up seriously, she said, “Keep a close eye on it, find someone clever, try to sneak into that villa, and find out more.”

“Also, ask Chunxiu to subtly probe An Shaoyu.”

Qing Dai found it a bit strange, but just thought of it and casually mentioned it to her lady. Seeing how seriously Shu Yuwans took it, she nodded, “I understand.”

“I’ll take care of it.”

“Understood.”

Qing Dai left, while Shu Yuwans continued to ponder, trying to recall any other clues.

Putting together everything she could remember, Shu Yuwans realized that Zhao Qing Qing seemed a bit out of the ordinary.

Explosive weapons!

She had read many history books for a long time, and none of them mentioned such weapons. Why would she make them?

And those things she invented, planting vegetables in winter, making those transparent glass-like utensils, various novel fruit jams…

How could one suddenly invent a large number of previously unseen things?

According to her research, Zhao Qing Qing was not like this before. Could it be that, like her, she had lived a long time and started over?

Are these things that will appear in the future?
