Tang Zhuyun couldn't figure it out, but she didn't want to make things difficult for herself.
She would bring it up with the Prince of Jin when he returned.
Perhaps there are some things that Nanny Rong will say to Prince of Jin.
Living under the same roof is not easy. Nanny Rong has been with Prince of Jin for so many years, and she has made contributions and worked hard. Tang Zhuyun does not want to reach the point where she has to drive her away.
However, she was not one to be trifled with. If Nanny Rong simply couldn't recognize her place, then she couldn't be lenient with her.
Tang Zhuyun didn't have anyone prepare a carriage; she took Xiu'er and Yanran and walked back to the Tang Family.
When she arrived, Madam Lu, Qin Qiang, and Qin Li's wife Wen Dai, were already talking in Meng Yulan's courtyard.
The group exchanged greetings.
Meng Yulan introduced Qin Qiang and Wen Dai to Tang Zhuyun.
Qin Qiang and Meng Yulan are both very tactful and charming. They are just the right amount of friendly people to get along with, making others feel like they are bathed in a spring breeze. When they flatter others, they do so in a subtle way, yet make people feel very comfortable.
Wen Dai didn't talk much, but it was clear that she was a clear-headed person.
Tang Zhuyun had already given her a crash course last night.
Wen Dai came from a humble background and had a somewhat difficult life.
Her father was a scholar, and the family had two children, her younger brother and her. They had some ancestral property, and with the addition of a school, they lived a decent life.
But when she was twelve, her father fell ill and, after spending a lot of money, passed away.
Wen Dai gritted her teeth and shouldered the debt. Together with her mother, they started by selling wontons at a stall and spent several years saving up to build a shop. She was quite capable.
At the age of sixteen, she got married; two years later, she was divorced because she had no children and went back to help her mother run a restaurant.
Two years later, she married Qin Li, becoming the wife of the heir apparent overnight, which astonished countless people.
"Your Highness," Qin Qiang said, unable to contain herself any longer after Tang Zhuyun finished taking Wen Dai's pulse, "Does she need any special treatment to nourish her body?"
Her eyes betrayed her nervousness.
Although Wen Dai tried to remain calm, her hands on her lap unconsciously clenched tightly.
Tang Zhuyun could understand; after all, the issue of having offspring was a major matter.
"The Crown Prince's wife is in good health," she said truthfully.
Qin Qiang and Wen Dai were both stunned.
"You must know," Tang Zhuyun said, "That having a child is a matter for two people."
Wen Dai smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, I've thought about it before, and it might be my ex-husband's problem; but after I married the Prince, we were a loving couple, and he had no one else but me. More than a year has passed, and I still haven't gotten pregnant..."
The two were very much in love, and Wen Dai was very content.
However, the fact that they didn't have children put a lot of pressure on Qin Li.
Qin Li was also quite formidable. When faced with the woman his elders forced into the courtyard, he bluntly declared that if he couldn't handle her, he would choose Wen Dai.
This outrageous behavior made Tang Zhuyun think that he and the Prince of Jin could become sworn brothers.
Tang Zhuyun said she was powerless to help, because in her opinion, Wen Dai was perfectly capable.
Qin Qiang said, "Your Highness, could you please ask the Prince if he could take a look at Qin Li when he has some free time? I know there were some misunderstandings before, and I'd also like Qin Li to apologize to you."
Tang Zhuyun smiled and said, "Madam Lu, I'm the one who should apologize for what happened back then."
Seeing her so cheerful, Qin Qiang couldn't help but smile, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."
Wen Dai suddenly stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. Perhaps it's just that my time for children hasn't come yet. Let's talk about it later. I'm sorry to have troubled you today."
Qin Qiang quickly replied, "No, Your Highness means that Qin Li might have a problem. Perhaps Your Highness can take a look at him later..."
Having finally found Tang Zhuyun as my confidante, I must resolve this issue, regardless of whose fault it is.
Once this opportunity is missed, it may be gone forever.
Wen Dai bit her lip, seemingly engaged in a fierce internal struggle. After a long while, she suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, could we keep this from the Prince? I'll try to find an excuse to bring him to see you, but if the Prince is unwell, could you please help me keep it a secret?"
This is to save face for her husband.
After all, men are far less at ease than women when it comes to the issue of "infertility".
Tang Zhuyun said, "Since the Prince is also present, you should go back and think carefully about how to handle this. I have no problem with it."
Wen Dai was very grateful.
After the two sisters-in-law left, Xiu'er couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, were you right?"
"What, you don't believe me?" Tang Zhuyun said with a grin, hugging Sister Yuan tightly, reluctant to let go.
Sister Yuan is now a little over three months old. She has big, bright eyes, fair skin, and is as Lovely as a porcelain doll.
"The Crown Prince's wife is so unlucky, unable to conceive with two different men? Could it be that you've misread it, and it's actually her who can't have children?"
Meng Yulan had similar doubts.
"There's no mistake, she has a very good constitution," Tang Zhuyun said confidently.
"It's such a waste that Heir Qin is such a good person," Xiu'er sighed.
"That's good?"
"Yeah, he didn't set his dog on you, at most he'll just ignore you."
Tang Zhuyun: I thank him!
Xiu'er: "Your Highness, you don't still hold a grudge against Heir Qin, so you're deliberately saying these things about him, do you?"
Tang Zhuyun: "Am I that kind of person? Besides, didn't I promise my sister-in-law today?"
Meng Yulan smiled and said, "It might have been possible to hold a grudge before, but now I should thank Heir Qin for not marrying me."
Tang Zhuyun played with Sister Yuan for a while longer, and only reluctantly got up after handing her over to the wet nurse when she got hungry.
She politely declined Meng Yulan's offer to stay for dinner, saying, "His Highness's birthday is coming up soon. I'll go out and see if I can find something good for him."
Last year, on his birthday, he was kidnapped while buying a clove of garlic and met Nanxing... Now that I think about it, it's only been a year, yet she has already married the Prince of Jin.
This is their first birthday together, so I want to give them something special.
But after looking around, none of them met my standards.
Xiu'er muttered, "Your Majesty, forget it. Nothing you give is as good as giving yourself."
Tang Zhuyun: "You're right!"
Let's plan a special night!
Let's go back to the manor.
Upon returning, Yanran greeted Jiaojiao, saying, "Mother, why were you gone for so long? Cui Xiaoqiu gave me a box of osmanthus cakes today, they're so delicious, you should try some. Oh, and we also found a treasure!"
Tang Zhuyun smiled and patted her head, asking, "What treasure?"
"Lingzhi!"
"Hmm?" Tang Zhuyun chuckled. "Where did you two find the Ganoderma lucidum?"
"It's right under the tree outside..."
"Your Highness!" A maidservant rushed in, interrupting Yanran, "Something terrible has happened! The Heir Apparent of the Heir of the Marquis of Pingyang has arrived in a menacing manner!"
Qin Li?
Why is this person, who can't have children, acting so aggressively?
Xiu'er asked, "What about Huaishang? Didn't he stop him?"
"They stopped her, but Guard Huai asked me to ask Your Highness if there's some misunderstanding between you and the Heir of the Marquis of Pingyang?"
Misunderstand?
Misunderstandings are just a reminder that it's hard to be a good person.
Qin Li's visit must be related to her meeting with Wen Dai today.
"Go out and see for yourself."
