Listening to her daughter's heartfelt words, the pregnant Lady Hou went on a killing spree.

[Mother, I think something must have happened to Marquis Anshun.]

"An'an, do you think so too?"

Ji Yueru initially thought she was overthinking things, but now it seems she wasn't overthinking at all.

What An'an didn't understand was, if she really wasn't Marquis Anshun's biological child, why couldn't she understand what Marquis Anshun was hiding?

What she didn't know was that her name, Lin You'an, had already been added to the Marquis's family genealogy, and in the eyes of Heaven, she had already been recognized as a descendant of Marquis Anshun.

Given An'an's current situation, he is similar to other adopted children. As long as he is listed in the family genealogy, Heaven will naturally recognize him.

In short, Mother, please be careful.

"understood."

"Madam, please try the meat I just roasted. It only has a tiny bit of salt on it."

Knowing that the lady was going to breastfeed the little princess, Zhiyi naturally dared not add too much seasoning, for fear that the little princess would not be able to handle it.

They picked out some fish, pheasant, and venison, grilled them, and sent them over, though the portions weren't large.

Ji Yueru picked up her chopsticks and tasted it.

"You go and eat with them, you don't need to serve them here."

"It's alright, Madam. I'll hold the little princess for now, and Shuyi will come to relieve me later."

Ji Yue Ru didn't get up to go outside for a walk from beginning to end. It was too windy outside and she was afraid of blowing An An away, so she simply decided not to go. Anyway, sitting here and watching people come to enjoy the spring scenery was a fun thing to do.

An'an was too young to stay long. After a little over an hour, the group of master and servants headed back home.

Once they reached the main street, the carriage slowed down.

As usual, the car curtains were lifted slightly, and Ji Yueru helped An'an sit up so she could see the street scene outside.

From afar, the mother and daughter sitting in the carriage could see a large crowd gathered in front of the shop.

"Ruyi, what's going on up ahead?"

Ruyi looked out the car window and, after seeing where she was, laughed and said, "I forgot to tell you, Madam, that Baiyi Pavilion had someone promote it a couple of days ago. They hired a master craftsman to make a lot of unique clothes."

If you order in the next few days, the price will be cheaper.

Ruyi only remembered after she finished speaking that the lady had rarely made clothes since she became pregnant with the young lady, and the clothes she had made before were all old.

Several sets of clothes were sent from the palace during the full moon celebration, but they were all of the palace standard and not very suitable for everyday wear.

"Madam, why don't you go in and pick out a few outfits? It's been a while since you've had any new clothes made."

Upon hearing this, Shuyi, who was standing nearby, also advised, "Yes, Madam, once you've chosen a style and placed an order, it will take at least a month for the clothes to be made."

Ji Yueru was also somewhat tempted by what the two maids said.

"Okay, let's go in and take a look."

Ruyi quickly instructed the coachman to stop the carriage, and after the carriage came to a complete stop, the master and servants got off.

An'an was handed over to Chunhua, with Ruyi and Shuyi protecting her from the side. The master and servants went straight upstairs into the shop.

There were quite a few people in the lobby on the first floor, but far fewer on the second floor.

As soon as the group went up, a female waitress came to greet them.

"Lady of Anshun, this way please."

Ji Yueru is now a celebrity in the capital, so it's not surprising that the shop assistants at Baiyi Pavilion know her.

The master and his servants were led by the waitress to a private room at the very back.

"Madam Hou, these are all new styles from our Baiyi Pavilion. Please take a look and see which one you like. I'll have someone bring it to you so you can try it on."

The waitress handed a picture book to Ji Yueru, who flipped through it, while Shuyi and Ruyi followed suit.

Chunhua, on the other hand, wasn't very interested in this, and sat to the side holding An'an.

Women always have a special fondness for clothes and jewelry, and Ji Yueru picked out four or five sets.

"That's all, take a look."

"Yes, Madam, please wait a moment."

Not long after the female shop assistant left, two more female shop assistants followed behind, each carrying a tray with the styles that Ji Yueru had just picked out.

"Madam, why don't you try it on first and see how it looks?"

Baiyige is very thoughtful; each private room is equipped with a small cubicle where you can change your clothes.

Ji Yueru got up, and Zhiyi and Shuyi followed her in to serve her.

With Chunhua holding An'an in the same private room, Ji Yueru was naturally not worried about An'an's safety.

The cubicle wasn't small; it had a mirror inside. Ji Yueru changed into the outfit to check how it looked, then took it off and changed into another set.

"Madam, this one is good. Why don't you try another one?"

Chunhua, sitting outside, could still hear Zhiyi's voice.

[Mommy, run! It's dangerous inside!]

An'an was so engrossed in watching the commotion on the street that by the time she realized something was wrong and warned her, it was too late.

Ji Yue opened her mouth as if to call out to Chunhua, but a faint fragrance wafted to her nose, and she didn't even have the strength to speak.

She watched helplessly as the wooden partition of the small cubicle opened, several people walked out, and led her inside.

During this time, a woman who looked exactly like her passed by her, and even the clothes she was wearing were exactly the same.

Ji Yueru's pupils widened, but she couldn't utter a single word.

"Waaaaah...!"

Chunhua, who was holding An'an, started crying loudly. Chunhua hurriedly tried to comfort the little master.

"Princess, don't cry, the lady will be out soon."

When Chunhua arrived at the cubicle, she felt something was off. The little princess was crying so hard that the madam should have come out immediately.

Just as they finished thinking, the curtain was lifted, and Zhiyi and Shuyi walked out, dizzy and holding their heads.

"Chunhua, why is the little princess crying?"

As Shuyi spoke, she reached out to hug An'an. Among the three of them, she usually took the most care of An'an.

Spring flowers were not given.

"Sister Shuyi, are you feeling unwell? Where is Madam? Why didn't she come out with you?"

The two men, still dazed, suddenly remembered, "Oh yes, why didn't Madam come out with us?"

"Zhiyi, come in and help me."

Ji Yueru's voice came from inside the cubicle, sounding a bit hoarse compared to before, but none of them paid it any mind.

An'an was crying uncontrollably and nothing they did could soothe her; all their attention was focused on the child.

The shop assistant was also anxious. The baby in front of her was Princess Zhaoyang. If something happened to her in the shop, her shop would be held responsible.

Zhiyi and Shuyi quickly went into the cubicle and helped Ji Yueru out.

"What's wrong with An'an? Why is she crying so much?"

Ji Yueru held her head with one hand, her eyes looking at An'an in Chunhua's arms, but she did not reach out to hug her.

"Madam, the little princess has been crying nonstop since just now. We should hurry back and get a doctor to take a look at her."

"She's not my mother! My mother is inside! Chunhua, Zhiyi, hurry and save my mother!"

An An was inwardly screaming, but no one present could hear her except for Ji Yueru, who was locked in the cubicle.

Hearing An An's anxious voice, Ji Yueru could only try to comfort her.

"Don't cry, An'an. Mommy will be alright. Don't worry."

How could An'an not be anxious?

As the group left the private room, An'an cried even louder.
