Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

Inside the pavilion, Li Gege and Wu Gege sat opposite each other. The sunlight shone through the sparse clouds and dappled onto the two of them, adding a bit of warmth to the quiet space.

Li Gege glanced around and saw that the flowers in the garden were in full bloom, butterflies were dancing, and the scene was full of vitality. But she knew very well that some things were really inconvenient to say in such an occasion with so many people around.

So, she turned to look at the nanny and gently instructed: "Nanny, take the third prince to the flowers over there and see if there are any new and exotic flowers and plants to make him happy."

Upon hearing this, the wet nurse immediately understood, smiled, took the Third Prince's hand, nodded gently, and slowly left the pavilion with a group of maids and eunuchs following her, leaving behind a peaceful scene.

As they left, the atmosphere in the pavilion seemed to become more private and solemn.

Seeing this, Wu Gege also whispered to her maid: "You should also leave first. Li Gege and I have something to say."

Upon hearing this, the maid immediately bowed and quietly left the pavilion, leaving Wu Gege and Li Gege to face it alone.

At this time, there were only the two of them left in the pavilion. It was quiet all around, with only the occasional sound of birds singing in the distance and the rustling of leaves in the breeze.

Li Gege gently stroked the edge of the teacup, her eyes gentle but with a bit of scrutiny, and finally broke the silence: "There are only two of us here now, you can tell me what you want to say."

When Wu Gege heard this, her expression changed slightly, as if she had finally made up her mind. She lowered her voice and slowly told the secret in her heart: "Sister Li, I...I found out that Niu Hulu might be pregnant."

When Li Gege heard this, she was stunned at first, then her brows knitted tightly, and she asked in disbelief: "How is it possible? If this is true, why would she hide it? If Yinzhen knew, he would definitely look at her differently, or even reward her."

Wu Gege shook her head slightly, her face full of helplessness: "I can't figure this out either. Maybe she has her own considerations. But I did get the news from a reliable source."

A hint of suspicion flashed across Li Gege's eyes, and she quickly asked back, "Then how did you know? And why did you tell me this? It seems that the relationship between us is not enough for you to be so frank."

Wu Gege quickly explained, "Sister Li, please believe me, I also learned about it by accident. As for why I told you, it was because I felt that Niuhulu's behavior was unusual. I was afraid that she had some unknown calculations behind her, which would affect the peace of the mansion and even your status. After all, we are all part of this mansion, and we should remind each other and face it together."

Hearing this, Li Gege smiled faintly and thought to herself. She knew that Wu Gege's words were full of selfishness, but in this deep mansion, who can really be free of desires?

She shook her head slightly, and sighed inwardly: "We are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are we playing Liao Zhai?"

However, Li Gege did not expose Wu Gege's words. Instead, she responded in a high-handed manner: "I have noted your reminder. Thank you for telling me this news. However, I believe that Yinzhen will make his own decision, and I also believe that the rules and order of the mansion will not be shaken by a person's temporary concealment."

After saying that, Li Gege stood up, straightened her dress, and looked into the distance with gentle eyes, as if looking for something.

"It's getting late. I should go look for the Third Prince. He's playing in the garden. I have to go check it out."

After saying this, Li Gege did not give Wu Gege a chance to say more, and turned around and walked out of the pavilion, her steps light and firm. She knew very well that in this mansion, only her two children were her most solid support.

No matter how the outside world changes, as long as she remains calm and wise, nothing can shake her position.
