Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother

Chapter 21: Refusing to Protect the Pregnancy

It was just a lot of noise but little rain! The people who impeached Ama disappeared within two days, not giving Honghui any chance to fight back.

Except for a day or two of panic in the beginning, everyone in the mansion acted as if nothing had happened. The emperor did not reprimand his master, so what else did they have to worry about?

After that, Yinzhen was busy for a few more days until the third day of September, when he came to Begonia Garden again.

"My son has met my father."

After all the calculations, Honghui hasn't seen his father for a month, but Su Peisheng goes to Haitangyuan every three days, which comforts him and his mother very well.

After paying his respects, Honghui started talking non-stop to Ama, about his studies, health, etc. He had a lot to say to Ama.

"Father, let me tell you..."

Yixiu happily watched Honghui working with all his strength. Isn't the Fourth Master enjoying it?

Seeing that the Fourth Master's eyes seemed to be looking at her, Yixiu could no longer suppress the longing in her heart, and her voice trembled as she spoke, "Master, you are here! I haven't seen you for a month. How are you?"

She hasn't seen her master for a month, but she is not anxious at all because she knows that the Fourth Master has her and her son in his heart.

Yinzhen seemed to be touched as well, his eyes became deep for a moment, but in the end he said nothing. He then embraced Yixiu and brought Honghui into the Begonia Garden.

During this month, Yinzhen was so busy that he hardly went into the backyard. He only took time to visit Rouze in the main courtyard twice, and the total time was only a little over two hours.

He went to the main courtyard yesterday. Rouze was already pregnant, but she looked much thinner. The court doctor said that she was weak.

During the dinner, Rouze was so upset that she almost vomited all her grievances. She became even more irritable, which made Yinzhen very worried.

"Fujin is overly worried, and her body is already weak, so the fetus in her belly is not well taken care of. For now, you should drink the medicine to keep the fetus healthy, and take more tonic food, otherwise the mother's body will not be able to supply the fetus's growth needs."

Seeing the healthy eldest prince Honghui today, Yinzhen suddenly remembered what the court physician had said, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

"Yixiu, it's not easy for Rouze to be pregnant. Please don't mind if she has offended you in the past."

Why did Master suddenly say this? Yixiu thought about it for a moment, but couldn't figure it out, so she gave up. "What are you talking about? Master, Fu Jin is my elder sister. Even if something happened, I won't really hate her. Besides, since I and Honghui returned home, I have always been respectful to Fu Jin and never stopped paying my respects. I haven't done anything rash, right?"

"I didn't mean that, it's just..."

Yinzhen hesitated for a moment, then thought of Rouze's situation and told him what he was planning.

"Yixiu, I have an idea. Can you help take care of Rouze? She didn't take good care of herself during this pregnancy, and she refused to give up her duties at the mansion, so she has lost a lot of weight. You've been pregnant before, so you have experience and some free time, so I want you to help take care of her."

Yixiu's face changed immediately. Asking her to take care of her elder sister's fetus was absolutely impossible!

"Is this what Master meant? Or what Fu Jin meant? Master said this for Fu Jin's own good, and I am willing to share Master's worries, but if Fu Jin doesn't want to, then she won't be able to take care of this baby well, right?"

Yixiu gave sincere advice: "You might as well ask Fu Jin first. If she agrees, I will have no objection."

Yinzhen remained optimistic about this. He believed that his daughter Wanwan would understand his sincerity. A legitimate son was the most important thing!

Haha! Honghui, who was watching the whole process, was very happy. He complained in his heart that his father was too naive when he was young. If his mother could agree to hand over her life and property to her, then the sun would rise from the west!

Yixiu knew this, so she didn't show her unwillingness, so as not to annoy the Fourth Master again. She was just waiting for the Fourth Master to be rejected by Fu Jin.

The next evening, Yinzhen's face was gloomy, as if a dark cloud was hanging over his head, and he came to Haitang Garden angrily.

Honghui was very understanding and served tea and water, massaged his neck and back, and also brought his father's favorite sweets such as pea yellow and osmanthus cake to help him calm down and avoid taking his anger out on his mother.

Honghui's singing, reciting, acting and fighting were not in vain. A quarter of an hour later, Yinzhen's mood had calmed down a lot and his face was not so gloomy anymore.

Yixiu stepped forward at the right time, replaced Honghui, and continued to massage Yinzhen, "My Lord, what's wrong with you? Even if you are angry, you can't get yourself in trouble, otherwise Honghui and I will be worried."

With all the gentle ladies serving him, Yinzhen wanted to confide in them, "I know how you feel about me, and Honghui is also a filial and good child, but some people don't appreciate my kindness and even have many assumptions about you."

Yixiu knew that the Fourth Master was talking about the Concubine, but she couldn't show it. She even wanted to stir up trouble. "Why do I feel so confused when you say this? Who on earth dares to pick a fight with you?"

"It's nothing, it's all in the past! What I said yesterday was not well thought out. With the court doctor here, you don't have to help Rouze take care of his body, which will save you from the trouble."

Yixiu pretended to be depressed. This opportunity to frame her elder sister was hard to come by. "Did I do something wrong to lose your trust?"

"You are very good. It's not your fault. But Rouze thought about you taking care of Honghui and couldn't bear to separate you and your son, so she politely declined my kindness."

"That's good, as long as you didn't misunderstand me. Fu Jin is pregnant, and she is grateful for the mother-son relationship between me and Hong Hui. She has good intentions, and I will always be grateful."

Yinzhen picked up the Longjing tea beside him and took two sips. Rouze's original words were not like this, but he couldn't tell Yixiu anything, so as to avoid creating another rift between them.

The tea on the table was replaced with a fresh cup. Amidst the rising mist, he recalled the bad things that happened in the main courtyard today.

-

Guanju Courtyard, the Fourth Master had been busy for a month, and finally stepped into the main courtyard again. Although Rouze was still jealous that he had stayed overnight in Haitang Courtyard last night, he was more happy and missed him when he met him.

"Is Wanwan feeling okay today? Did you vomit a lot?"

"Thank you for your concern, Silang. Although I am still vomiting a lot, the palace doctor also said that after this period of time, I will be able to eat."

The tea served in the main courtyard was also Longjing, but it was the rare Mingqian Longjing. Except for a little bit of this tea in the front courtyard, the rest was distributed to the main courtyard by Yinzhen.

His mind was not on the tea. He moistened his lips politely, then went straight to the point and told Rou Ze what he was planning.

"Wanwan, you are too weak and the fetus is not well taken care of. I am very worried. I intend to let Yixiu take care of you. She has been pregnant before and has experience. She is also your biological sister. With her around, you can rest assured to take care of your body. As for the affairs of the mansion, let Yixiu handle them temporarily. When you are out of confinement, I will let her return them to you..."

Before he finished speaking, Rouze's tears started to flow and she kept crying silently, which successfully frightened Yinzhen who wanted to continue speaking.

"Wanwan, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

Rouze still felt wronged! First, she was pregnant with Silang's legitimate son. How could she hand over her life and the life of her son to Yixiu, a concubine who already had a son? Second, she had a grudge against Yixiu. Although the incident with the eldest prince was over, she didn't believe that Yixiu had no resentment towards her. Third, she was the wife of the mansion. If she handed over the affairs of the mansion to Yixiu, wouldn't it be raising a tiger to cause trouble?

"Silang, did Yixiu tell you that? You have never thought about this before. And I know that you have always been considerate of me, so how could you not remember that there was a rift between us five months ago?"

"No, it really wasn't Yixiu. I was the one who brought it up first. Yixiu agreed to take care of you personally because you were her elder sister. She doesn't hold a grudge against you."

Rouze was stubborn by nature, and her authority in the mansion had plummeted in recent months. Silang had never stayed in the main courtyard since then. All these experiences were due to Yixiu's meddling, who had to report the matter to the Empress and the Emperor in the palace.

"Who knows what she's thinking? You can only know a person's face but not his heart!"

Yinzhen was provoked and spoke louder, "The court doctors are watching you, what can she do? Besides, if something goes wrong with you, she will be the first person to be suspected in the entire Prince's Mansion. Yixiu is not stupid, how could she destroy herself?"

Rouze realized that she seemed to have said something wrong. Fearing that Silang would really be angry, she hurried to make amends, "I don't need her to take care of my body. I still have my mother at my parents' home. After a while, I will write a letter and ask my mother to take care of me during pregnancy and delivery. Wouldn't that make me feel more at ease? As for the affairs in the mansion, I can handle it by myself with the two maids given by the emperor. I don't need to trouble Yixiu anymore."

Rouze's words sounded nice, but unfortunately Yinzhen completely understood her thoughts. She didn't want to see Yixiu become powerful in the mansion, and she would not put her life and property in Yixiu's hands!

For the sake of his legitimate son, Yinzhen looked at Rouze deeply and did not continue to argue with her. "Forget it, it's up to you. Just pretend I didn't say anything today. You rest assured and take care of your baby. I'm leaving first."

……

"Master, Master, what's wrong with you? Why are you holding the teacup and not saying anything?"

Yinzhen was called back to his senses, "Nothing, I'm going to the study to see Honghui, you can have someone prepare dinner first!"
