Chapter 989: Clash (2)
"So it turns out, I truly rejoiced too soon; this child is indeed pitiful," Princess Fuyun seemed to believe this explanation, yet her eyes grew increasingly icy and sharp.
Old Lady Cui acted as though she didn’t notice, and said warmly, "If Xiaoqi knew that Your Highness was so worried about him and even came to visit in person, he would be very happy. On behalf of Xiaoqi, I thank Your Highness."
After speaking, she bowed to Princess Fuyun, her politeness suggesting she didn’t regard the Princess as a daughter-in-law, nor as her grandson’s legitimate mother.
Princess Fuyun’s expression remained unchanged, but the hands under her wide sleeves involuntarily tightened; in the end, she couldn’t state outright that she was Cui Pingan’s legitimate mother and was therefore obliged to visit. The one lying in bed was nothing but a child of sin!
Thinking like this, Princess Fuyun abruptly changed the topic and got straight to the point, "I’m unaware of Pingan’s condition. I’ve heard that the female doctor hasn’t left the residence yet; it would be good for her to come and inform me about it."
Old Lady Cui’s expression shifted slightly, and her heart was filled with extreme annoyance due to Princess Fuyun’s incessant troubles.
In another room of this courtyard, Mo Yan, who was resting, also heard the shout of the young servant. Not wishing to encounter Princess Fuyun, she pretended not to hear and continued discussing Cui Pingan’s condition with Xuetuan in her space.
