Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

After the little maid left, the house returned to silence, with only the occasional bird song outside the window breaking the silence.

Yi Ya sat on the chair, looking ahead with empty eyes, as if she was lost in deep thought. She didn't even notice the sound of Bai Zhu gently pushing the door open.

When Bai Zhu saw this, he felt a little moved, knowing that his wife must be worried about something.

She walked slowly to Yi Ya's side with light footsteps, and called softly, "Fu Jin, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something?"

Yi Ya's thoughts were brought back to reality by Bai Zhu's voice. She sighed softly and turned to look at Bai Zhu, with a complicated look in her eyes: "Bai Zhu, what do you think about the possibility that Niu Hulu is pregnant?"

Bai Zhu was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then expressed his opinion cautiously: "Madam, I think this matter is quite strange. If Princess Niuhulu is really pregnant, she should have reported it to Madam and the prince in time, but she kept it a secret. I'm afraid there is some conspiracy behind this."

At this point, Bai Zhu seemed to remember something, and changed the subject, continuing: "Moreover, Bai Zhi once mentioned that the carriage was frightened on our way back to Beijing. Now that I think about it, that incident was definitely not accidental. I dare to guess that there may be a connection between these two incidents."

After hearing this, Yi Ya frowned. She recalled the scene of the carriage being frightened that day, and she did have a lot of doubts in her heart. Now that Bai Shu mentioned it, she felt that there must be something behind it.

She pondered for a moment and murmured to herself, "Yes, I felt something was wrong at that time. Now it seems that someone knew about Niuhulu's pregnancy at that time. So, who could it be?"

Her eyes quickly swept through everyone in the mansion in her mind, and finally fixed on Wu Gege. Although she had guessed it in her heart, Yi Ya did not say it directly, but just thought about it secretly.

She knew very well that without solid evidence, any speculation might lead to unnecessary disputes.

So, she collected her thoughts and told Bai Shu, "Bai Shu, go and arrange for some people to keep a close eye on the courtyards of Niuhulu and Wu Gege, especially the interactions between them. Report to me immediately if there is any disturbance."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhu immediately understood Yi Ya's intention. She nodded solemnly and replied, "Yes, I understand. I will arrange it right away and will not let Madam down." After that, she turned and left, ready to carry out Yi Ya's orders.

Yi Ya looked at Bai Zhu's departing back and prayed secretly in her heart, hoping that all this was just her overthinking, but no matter what, she had to be fully prepared to deal with any possible changes.

……

Wu Gege walked out of the main courtyard in a hurry, as if she had something urgent to deal with. Her eyes passed through the bustling courtyard and finally locked onto Li Gege who was walking slowly in front of her.

Li Gege was dressed elegantly, holding the hand of the Third Prince, preparing to return to her residence to enjoy the tranquility of the afternoon.

"Sister Li, please stay!" Wu Gege's voice suddenly sounded, with a bit of urgency.

Hearing this, Li Gege couldn't help but frowned. Although she was reluctant in her heart, she turned around slowly due to etiquette, keeping a proper smile on her face: "What can I do for you, Sister Wu?"

Seeing this, Wu Gege was delighted, knowing that her words had attracted Li Gege's attention. "Sister Li, I do have something to tell you. This matter concerns you and me, and I think you need to know."

Her tone was sincere and there was a barely perceptible nervousness in her eyes.

Hearing this, Li Gege's eyes moved slightly. After thinking for a while, she nodded gently and said, "In this case, please speak frankly, Sister Wu."

However, Wu Gege looked around and found that this place was crowded with people coming and going, and it was indeed not a place to discuss confidential matters.

She shook her head gently and whispered, "It's inconvenient with so many people coming and going here. Sister Li, why don't we find a quiet place and have a good chat?"

Li Gege looked at Wu Gege and seemed to read a trace of seriousness and urgency in her eyes, so she nodded: "Okay, there is a garden in front, and there is a pavilion next to the garden, let's go there."

After that, the two princesses walked towards the garden, one in front and one behind. After passing through the winding path, they arrived at the quaint and elegant pavilion.

Surrounded by flowers, the breeze brings bursts of floral fragrance, making it particularly quiet and peaceful.
