Chapter 338 Even He Will Bow His Head
When Mo Yi enters the room, not everyone needs to be spoken to, but everyone should at least exchange glances and give each other a smile.

To prevent those with sensitive minds from finding fault.

Then, I chatted with Mrs. Liang and Mrs. Zhang for a while.

As always, Madam Liang remained calm and smiled, saying, "Princess Wenfang, my mother is ill and I went back to take care of her for a few days, so I couldn't come."

Mo Yi paused for a moment upon hearing this. It seemed that Madam Liang and Liang You did not have a good relationship with that county princess.

Although Madam Zhang spoke with a smile, it was clear that she had something on her mind.

After speaking for a short while, Wang kept giving Mo Yi meaningful glances, as if to say that she wanted to speak with her alone...

Mo Yi sighed inwardly; this old woman hadn't changed at all.

He had no choice but to get up and go out with Wang.

The people standing at the door, including Zhuang Shi and Zhou Jiu, were gone. It turned out they had been urged by Mo Fan: "Mother, take A-Jiu to see the courtyard first. If there's anything that needs changing, A-Jiu, tell me quickly. Don't let it be too late later..."

Seeing her son's lack of ambition, Zhuang had no choice but to leave with Zhou Jiu and the two girls.

“Mother…” Mo Yi called out.

Madam Wang quickly said, "Yiyi, come here. Mother only needs to say a few words."

The two of them made their way to Wang's house.

As a result, Wang looked at Mo Yi, and the words she had planned to say suddenly became slurred and she couldn't utter a single one. After carefully considering her words for a long time, she cautiously asked, "You know about my sister's pregnancy, right?"

"I heard it from Father," Mo Yi replied calmly.

Wang blinked, implying that Wenwen hadn't sent her any messages.
"Um... well... Yi Yi... how are you and your sister?" Wang asked cautiously.

She only found out about the pregnancy when Qiu Hong delivered something to Mo Wen. Then, Madam Wang hurriedly brought carefully selected tonics from the Wang family to visit her.

After arriving, she mentioned Mo Yi to Mo Wen... and the recent events at the Prince's Mansion. But Mo Wen's expression was indifferent, showing no concern whatsoever, and she didn't bother with the topic at all.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother; something must have happened.

In the past, Mo Wen would have asked about matters concerning the Prince's residence, and might even have commented on them, unlike her current indifference.

These sisters... is this going to be a disaster?
Upon returning, Wang Shi still felt uneasy, but she hesitated to enter the Wang Mansion. Moreover, the Wang Mansion had been in turmoil recently, so it wasn't appropriate to discuss such matters…

Now that Mo Yi has arrived, she sees that he is so indifferent to Mo Wen's pregnancy!
Isn't this the most important thing in the family right now?

Especially after what happened last time...

"What do you mean?" Mo Yi didn't want to hide anything, nor did she want to make up lies, and she couldn't tell Wang Shi everything.

So, the problem was thrown back at them.

Wang forced a smile. "It's nothing! Mother just said that your sister is doing well at the Xu family. Both Madam Xus are taking special care of her. Xu Ke has also been spending a lot of time with her at home lately. I hope everything goes smoothly for her this time."

Actually, Ms. Wang was particularly worried because the two pregnancies were on separate occasions, which was both good and bad. Pregnancy is not easy for a woman, and if Wenwen had any problems this time, it would be a real problem.

She knew that some pregnancies couldn't be saved.

"Yiyi, your mother knows your abilities. Although the situation in the Prince's mansion is complicated, you managed to drive Feng Shi out of the mansion and take charge of the household. I also heard from your father that the Prince values ​​you highly. You're doing really well..."

"You sisters have achieved what you have today thanks to God countless times. My only wish is that you sisters can support each other."

Mo Yi smiled but didn't speak. Wang Shi didn't get the answer she wanted. In the past, she might have been furious on the spot, but now she was even more worried! What could be so important that she wouldn't even give a proper reply?

Look at her smile, it makes her seem so superior... This girl is arrogant and looks down on people.

But no matter how much turmoil Hao Tie felt inside, he didn't dare to show any emotion in front of Mo Yi.

She said patiently, "Yiyi, look. Your older brother is preparing for the imperial examinations, and the tutor says he's very confident. Your little darling is good at his studies and goes to places his mother has never even heard of, always eating out! Such a little one... tsk tsk. And your father..."

Upon hearing his mother mention his father again, Mo Yi looked at Wang Shi indifferently.

The words that were on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back by Wang, her face flushing slightly. She felt guilty: "I didn't mean to scold him! What kind of look is that from this girl?!"
She quickly forced a smile: "Your third uncle's old courtyard has been vacated to make way for a nicer one. Your mother had it cleaned up, and your father moved in. He's been doing quite well lately. At his age, as long as he's peaceful, healthy, and can offer some guidance to your older brother and Xiaobao, your mother will be satisfied."

“Your maternal family is doing very well, and the Prince even gave you some opportunities. Everything is really good… The only thing I’m worried about is your sister. Her miscarriage last time really upset her. I went to see her a few days ago…” Madam Wang’s eyes reddened.

"This pregnancy wasn't as smooth as her last one. She's lost a lot of weight and vomits all the time. Her complexion is sallow, and she seems easily angered. Even Dujuan was brought to tears by her scolding several times. I heard she even fainted a few days ago."

Yi Yi, a woman's experience of pregnancy is different. Especially this time, you don't know, if something goes wrong again… that would be truly terrible. Your sister is good in every way, except she's too strong-willed; she'd rather suffer herself than back down. If she's done anything wrong, I'll apologize on her behalf, please don't hold it against her.”

Faced with power and the interests she cares about most, Wang will eventually bow her head.

"My daughter won't mind," Mo Yi sighed inwardly.

"That's good, that's good. Yi Yi, talk to the prince later and see if you can ask the imperial physician to come and take a look at her."

"Alright, I'll ask the prince later."

"Alright, alright... Then, let's go back and talk to Madam Liang and the others."

Mo Yi smiled. Actually, her mother had made progress too...

As soon as the two stepped out, they saw Liu waiting at the gate of the courtyard. "Yiyi, your third aunt wants to say a few words to you."

Liu also forced a smile.

"Mother, you go ahead first. I want to say a few words to my third aunt."

Wang raised her chin at Liu and walked away.

Now, Liu's demeanor and attire are different; she still carries herself with the air of a noblewoman.

But she still leaned closer and asked in a low voice, somewhat anxiously, "Yi Yi, has something happened to the Crown Prince lately?"

"Third Aunt..." Mo Yi said helplessly, "What does the Crown Prince want to ask me?"

"No, no, I mean: His Highness must know something. You don't know, Yuanyuan hasn't been able to come back recently. I even heard today that the invitation from home wasn't sent to her..." Liu was very disappointed.

“Third Aunt, Mo Yuan is a concubine. Generally speaking, there are rules for concubines leaving the manor. They might be going to manage household affairs or visiting familiar people. The reason she could go home freely before was because the Crown Prince had given her special permission. If, as you say, the Eastern Palace has been busy lately, then it's better for her to stay safely in the manor. Today is just a small gathering of relatives and friends, so not sending invitations is not considered impolite…”

"Oh. Well... Yi Yi, you've always been more composed than Yuan Yuan. You, you should give her some pointers."

"Third Aunt, Yuanyuan is very smart, don't worry. Let's go..."

“Alas, I know I’m clever, but after all, that’s the Crown Prince…” Lady Liu truly experienced the other side of this so-called “marriage”.

The two had just arrived near the dining room when they found Zhang Debao standing there.

It was as if they were waiting for Mo Yi.

As expected… “Your Majesty, I have two things to say…”
