Wang Zefang handed the child to Mu Yunhuan and took Xiao Chengyi and the others to the flower hall.
Mu Yun'an first introduced Jiang Ru and Hu Yanqiu to Mu Yunhuan, and then the two sisters sat together and talked.
Yuan Jiahe and the others were playing with little Xuyang.
Mu Yun'an looked at little Xuyang, who had just learned to walk, and said, "He looks so much like my cousin."
The features and eyes looked so much like Wang Zefang's that Mu Yunan couldn't help but look forward to it. Her and Xiao Chengyi's son must also look like Xiao Chengyi.
Mu Yunhuan looked at her son, her eyes full of tenderness and said: "It's a pity that I can't give him another sister."
Mu Yun'an asked: "Why?"
Mu Yunhuan said: "When I gave birth to Xuyang, I was born prematurely and suffered a lot. However, your cousin was frightened. The doctor said that my vitality was damaged and it would be difficult to get pregnant again in the future."
Mu Yun'an couldn't help but worry when she heard what she said: "Is giving birth really that scary?"
Mu Yunhuan comforted her and said: "Actually, it's not true. It will pass after you endure it. However, you must pay attention to taking a good rest while you are pregnant, especially not to get angry."
When Mu Yun'an heard that she was angry, she raised her eyebrows. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Gao Xinlan walking in with a tea cup and said: "Princess, please drink tea."
Mu Yunhuan glanced at her and said, "The maids have to do these things, why are you here?"
Gao Xinlan said: "I didn't understand the rules just now and offended the princess. I came here to apologize to the princess."
She handed the tea cup over and said, "Please forgive me, Princess."
Mu Yun'an didn't accept it either: "There's no need to apologize. I accept your wishes. It's just that I'm pregnant and shouldn't drink tea."
Gao Xinlan's face froze, she quickly put the tea down and said: "Blame it on me, I will give it to you, Princess, to change it right now."
With that said, she took the tea down.
After she left, Mu Yun'an couldn't help but ask: "Second sister, what's going on with Gao Xinlan? Does she live in the house?"
Mu Yunhuan got angry when she mentioned her, and she said: "After your cousin and his uncle passed away, a pair of sons and daughters from the Gao family came to see me. My father-in-law was nostalgic so he let them stay.
The brothers and sisters have been here for a while."
Mu Yun'an frowned: "Didn't the Gao family cut off all contact with the Wang family for fear of being implicated? How come they still have the nerve to lick their faces to acknowledge their relatives?"
Mu Yunhuan snorted and said, "Seeing as your cousin has become the county magistrate, and you have a relative like him from the General's Mansion, you've come here like this."
Wang Zefang's mother was from the Gao family, but because the Wang family was implicated by Prince Chen, she lost her official career and retreated to Changzhou. The Gao family cut off the Wang family to avoid trouble.
Wang Zefang's mother, Mrs. Gao, became depressed because of this and eventually died of illness.
After the Gao family fell into the hands of Wang Zefang's uncle, they gradually lost all their property. When they were desperate, the Gao family heard the news that Wang Zefang was appointed as the county magistrate in Changzhou, so they came to recognize their marriage.
Wang Zefang's father felt guilty for the late Gao, so he left the two siblings behind.
But the brothers and sisters are not fuel-efficient lamps.
Mu Yun'an thought about the words she heard when she came here, and she said: "Second sister, you better not let Gao Xinlan get close to Xu Yang in the future. When I came here just now, I heard her scolding Xu Yang.
She scolded a child like Xu Yang, but she didn’t know what she did when there was no one around?"
Mu Yunhuan was shocked: "Did she scold Xuyang?"
She said with a sullen face: "This little bitch is usually very nice to Xu Yang in front of me, but I didn't expect that she would do one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes.
If it hadn't been for her, I wouldn't have been born prematurely."
