Chapter 793 - 833: The Peril of the Harem
Xu Yingying returned to the upstairs, first visiting Yiyi’s room, where her daughter, Little Yifei, was lying in bed with Yiyi. Su Yiyi held a fairy tale storybook in her hand, telling Little Yifei a story. Nowadays, Su Yiyi stayed here every day. Little Yifei spent the most time with her because she had the most patience, which also made her Little Yifei’s favorite company. They often slept together at night. Although this meant that Su Yiyi had fewer chances to be intimate with Li Yifei, at her age, Su Yiyi didn’t pursue such matters too much. What mattered more to her was making Li Yifei happy. Now, being able to see Li Yifei every day and having her own things to do in this home made Su Yiyi even happier.
After exchanging a few words with Su Yiyi and her daughter, Xu Yingying went to Ye Yunzhu’s room. Ye Yunzhu was already lying in bed, her belly getting bigger and bigger, becoming increasingly lazy. Seeing Xu Yingying come in, she just tried to sit up, but Xu Yingying beat her to it, sitting down by the bed and said with a laugh, "You’re our family’s most important person to take care of, you should just lie down."
Ye Yunzhu giggled and said, "Don’t let it be said that I don’t respect you as the eldest sister."
"Look at you, since we’re all family now, how could there be so many issues? By the way, is the bed comfortable for you to sleep in? You’re the County Head, and a pregnant woman at that. It won’t do if we don’t take good care of you."
Ye Yunzhu joked, "Look at you, just earlier you were talking about me, and now what’s this about a County Head?"
"Yes, yes, let’s not talk about that."
When it came to Ye Yunzhu and Xu Yingying, both women were naturally strong-willed and career-oriented. The disharmony between them in the past was because of Li Yifei. Now that Ye Yunzhu had compromised and Xu Yingying was accommodating, whether truly or not, they had set aside their previous prejudices and become confidantes with even more topics to chat about.
The two women were deep in conversation when Xu Yingying’s expression suddenly changed. Ye Yunzhu saw it right away, asking with some confusion, "Yingying, did I say something just now to upset you?"
"No! No!" Xu Yingying’s expression grew even more peculiar.
"Then what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Ye Yunzhu was even more puzzled.
