In the inner courtyard of Yan's mansion, Qian Manman stood on tiptoe and looked back, "Where's the prince? Didn't he come back with you?"

"The prince had some urgent matters to attend to, so he did not accompany his daughter home today." After Yan Muxi finished speaking, he noticed that something was wrong with Qian Manman today.

Ever since Yan Yongchen was imprisoned, Qian Manman has been in a miserable state, looking half dead. Today, not only did he go out to greet her in person, he also seemed to be in a good mood.

She asked tentatively, "Mother, have you thought it through and are you no longer sad?"

Qian Manman was stunned for a moment, as if she suddenly remembered something, "Oh~ I can't figure it out for a while, how can I always be confused? It's New Year's Day, let's not talk about those unhappy things. Sister Xi, please tell me what's the matter with the prince that he can't even accompany you home."

The guilt of her mother was written all over her face. Yan Muxi could tell at a glance that Qian Manman was probably hiding something from her, and the thing must be related to Yan Yongchen.

After chatting for a while, she pretended to mention it casually, "It's New Year's Day. I wonder if my father is doing well in prison. I will find a way to go to the prison to see him in two days."

Qian Manman subconsciously retorted, "No need." She looked up and saw Yan Muxi looking at her in confusion, and hurriedly tried to make amends, "Su Clan just sent someone to the Imperial Prison to check on your father a few days ago. They said that your father is fine. Sister Xi, you should not waste your time going to check on him. If you offend the higher-ups, you might end up causing trouble for the royal palace as well."

"I see. Since Dad is fine, I won't bother with it anymore."

Hearing that Yan Muxi had given up the idea of ​​going to the imperial prison, Qian Manman was obviously relieved and changed the subject.

Yan Muxi was almost certain that Qian Manman could be so confident because she must have met Yan Yongchen. The reason why she didn't tell her was because Yan Yongchen had specifically asked her to do so.

Being able to stir up trouble in the palace and enter and leave Yan's residence freely, Yan Yongchen should be able to be reinstated soon, and everything will return to the starting point.

Not long after, Yan Muyun and his wife brought Qing Ge'er to the house.

Qing'er is already one hundred days old. He is chubby and will giggle with his toothless mouth when teased. Even Qian Manman, who has always been at odds with Aunt Ge, can't take her eyes off him.

Qian Manman felt uncomfortable as she watched. Su had a granddaughter, and Aunt Ge also had a grandson, but she was the only one without one. She turned her head and looked at her own daughter, who had only a thin waist, and felt even more uncomfortable.

She just couldn't understand why her daughter's waist was getting thinner and thinner. It would be strange if she could give birth well with a waist that was not much wider than the mouth of a bowl!

At the dinner table, Qian Manman ignored everyone's expressions and kept picking up food for Yan Muxi, as if she wanted to put all the dishes on the table into her bowl.

Looking at the mountain of rice bowls, Yan Muxi covered the bowl and said, "Mother, please don't give me any more food. It's too much for me to eat."

Qian Manman said disapprovingly, "You can only gain weight if you eat more. Being fatter makes it easier to have children. You can't get pregnant because you are too thin."

Seeing that Old Madam Yan looked gloomy, Su coughed lightly and reminded her, "Qian, don't just take care of Sister Xi. Eat more yourself. You have become very thin recently because of the Master's misfortune."

Although Qian Manman's brain was not very active, she could still tell good from bad at critical moments, so she did not refute Su and started to eat peacefully.

Perhaps because she saw that Qian Manman had indeed lost a lot of weight, Mrs. Yan's complexion looked a little better.

While her husband is still suffering in prison, Qian Manman is still trying to persuade her daughter to have children. As a mother-in-law, it is only natural for Mrs. Yan to express her dissatisfaction.

But Yan Muxi looked at her coldly. The way Old Lady Yan looked at Qian Manman was not only dissatisfaction, but also resentment clearly hidden in her eyes.

If Yan Yongchen had secretly returned home, the old lady would definitely know about it. Moreover, she had just tested Su, who was in charge of the household affairs of the mansion, but she was not aware of it.

Therefore, the old lady’s resentment towards Qian Manman might have been due to Yan Yongchen’s visit to Qian Manman.

But when Yan Yongchen secretly returned home, why didn't he see Su, who was in charge of the household expenses, but went to see Qian Manman instead? Could it be that Qian Manman really had some weight in Yan Yongchen's heart?

As for why it is such a small amount, he can calculate the money of his mother's family, children, and body for his own benefit. If the weight was a little heavier, he would not do any of these evil deeds.

However, having a little weight is always better than having no weight at all. If Qian Manman loses her value one day, she can still rely on this little weight in Yan Yongchen's heart to save her life.

Moreover, in Yan Muqing's dream, Qian Manman was still alive and well after she died and her grandfather fell ill. Maybe it was all because of Yan Yongchen's care for her.

After the banquet, Yan Muyun found an excuse to call Yan Muxi aside to talk, "After I went back the other day, the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. The Queen Mother tricked us into a remote place and had someone knock me out, but she didn't do anything to me afterwards. So I thought they were targeting you, the second brother. Did you suffer any harm that day?"

Facing the pure big eyes full of worry, Yan Muxi didn't know how to express his feelings at the moment.

Helplessly, he raised his thumbs and said, "Third sister is really amazing. Your reaction was so timely. If I were in trouble and waited for you to rescue me, you would definitely be able to catch up and enjoy my warm meal."

Yan Muyun tried to hold back, but still couldn't help rolling her eyes, "If you want to insult me, just insult me. Why beat around the bush? By the way, did you really get into trouble that day?"

Yan Muxi nodded, "Yes, something happened, but it has been resolved. Third sister, don't worry too much."

Yan Muyun was relieved after hearing this, and asked, "By the way, you said a few days ago that you wanted to get pregnant and have a baby as soon as possible, why haven't you done anything yet?"

Speaking of this, Yan Muxi was even more helpless, "How would I know? I've been trying for several months, but there's still no progress."

The couple wanted to give birth to a child before Princess Rong passed away, but now Princess Rong's energy is getting weaker and weaker, so it should be impossible.

Yan Muyun frowned and thought for a while, "You can't rush to get pregnant. The more anxious you are, the harder it is to get pregnant. However, I have a method to help you get pregnant. If you are really anxious, I will give it to you and you can try it when you go back."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier, Third Sister? I wasted several months."

"Who would have thought that you and Yu Wantai are both so young and vigorous, but you can't even have a child!"

Yan Muxi: “…”

Well, maybe she and Yu Wantai are really useless.

Yu Wantai did not come to the Yan Mansion to pick up Yan Muxi in the afternoon. Yan Muxi thought he was still drinking and socializing. But when he returned to the palace, he found that he had returned and was lying on the couch taking a rest!

Yan Muxi suppressed the disappointment in her heart and walked forward to ask, "When did the prince return to the palace?"

Yu Wantai sat up and pulled her to sit down beside the bed. "I just came back and drank a little too much, so I took a short break."

The strong smell of powder entered her nose, and Yan Muxi frowned and said, "The prince not only drinks a lot of wine, but also hugs a lot of beauties!"
