Gu Ruobai's face looked rather grim. "This Tang Yan. I wonder where he got all these strange poisons from."
Su Mingyu herself was also quite puzzled. "When you went to Tang Yan's place back then, what was the situation there?"
"I only stayed at his mansion for a day or two. In fact, I wasn't very familiar with it." Gu Ruobai frowned as he looked at her. "What are you suspecting?"
"Not really..." Su Mingyu bit her lip. "Forget it. There's no evidence for this matter yet. I'll tell you once I figure it out."
Gu Ruobai gave a soft grunt. "I'll wait for you."
Early the next morning, Su Mingyu got out of bed. Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Su Mingyu patted the side of the bed. It was empty.
It seemed that Gu Ruobai had already gotten up. Helplessly, Su Mingyu had to get up by herself to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, she saw Tang Ziyan's good-looking face. Su Mingyu was slightly stunned. "Young Master Tang, what... what are you doing?"
"The kitchen got some fresh fish. I cooked a bowl of fish soup for you." With that, Tang Ziyan waved the tray in his hand in front of Su Mingyu.
Su Mingyu looked at the floating grease on the fish soup and felt a tightness in her throat. "Th... thank you."
"What's wrong? I see that you don't look well, Princess." Tang Ziyan keenly noticed Su Mingyu's abnormality and asked casually, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Mingyu swallowed. "It's nothing. Maybe I got up too early and didn't sleep well. Thank you for bringing me the soup."
"It's nothing. I just happened to cook a bowl for you." The corner of Tang Ziyan's mouth curled up slightly. "If the Princess likes it, then it's worth getting up so early."
Su Mingyu smiled. "Yes, yes, yes. Anyway, thank you. I'll put this away and drink it later."
After giving Tang Ziyan a grateful smile, Su Mingyu closed the door.
At the moment when the door closed, Su Mingyu didn't notice Tang Ziyan's meaningful look.
Maybe she really didn't rest well. Su Mingyu was listless all day. Gu Ruobai also seemed to be very busy. So Su Mingyu sat on a stool alone in the tea garden to rest.
She had just closed her eyes for a while when Zhizhu walked over. "Miss, the Second Miss is asking to see you."
"Su Yueyue?" Su Mingyu raised her eyebrows. "Why is she coming to see me instead of taking good care of herself at home while pregnant?"
Zhizhu shook her head. "This servant doesn't know either. Maybe she has something to talk to you about, Miss. Do you want to see her?"
"She's coming all the way here while pregnant. It would be inappropriate not to see her." Su Mingyu sighed. "Forget it. Let her in."
Not long after, Su Yueyue walked in, supporting her big belly. She gave Su Mingyu a sidelong glance and pretended to be concerned. "I heard that elder sister was captured. It seems that you're safe now?"
Su Mingyu didn't even look at her. "Why do you have the time to come to this humble place, younger sister? It seems that your baby is almost due. At this time, you should take good care of yourself at home."
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, Su Mingyu said, "Does the Prince of Yu know that you're coming to see me? You must tell him clearly. Otherwise, he'll be worried."
I don't know if it was because of pregnancy or her acting skills had improved, but Su Yueyue had a faint, gentle smile on her lips. "What are you talking about, elder sister? Why would the Prince of Yu be worried when I come to my elder sister's mansion?"
With that, Su Yueyue slowly sat down, supporting her rather bulky body. "It's not good for me to stay at home all the time. When I heard that elder sister was rescued, I came here immediately to take a look. I can also let father and mother feel at ease when I go back, right?"
"Are you blaming me for not going back home to report my safety immediately, younger sister?" There was a faint smile at the corner of Su Mingyu's eyes.
Just as Su Yueyue was about to say something, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw the preserved plums on the table. She was slightly stunned. "Elder sister, you're being wrong. How could you have such a great happy event and not tell us?"
Su Mingyu was stunned by her words. "What happy event?"
Su Yueyue pointed at the preserved plums. "Elder sister specifically put out a plate of plums. Could it be that you prepared them for me out of prophecy?"
"Oh..." Su Mingyu suddenly realized. "You mean these! I don't know why, but my appetite has been poor recently. The Prince specially asked someone to prepare these preserved plums for me. It's not what you think, younger sister."
Su Yueyue seemed a little disbelieving. "Elder sister and the Prince have been married for several months. Look, I'm about to give birth. Why hasn't elder sister's belly shown any sign yet?"
Su Mingyu shrugged, indicating that she didn't know either. "Did you come to see me just to talk about this, younger sister?"
"Yes, and no. I mainly wanted to catch up with elder sister." There was a faint tenderness in Su Yueyue's eyes. "Elder sister, do you know? Wu Yurou is also pregnant."
"What?" This time, Su Mingyu was really a little surprised. "Wu Yurou... is pregnant? When did this happen? Why haven't I heard the Prince of Yu mention it?"
Su Yueyue lovingly stroked her belly. "Elder sister has been so busy taking care of herself these days, so of course you don't know about this. It happened just this past month. As for why the Prince of Yu didn't tell you, I think it may not be the right time yet."
Su Mingyu always felt that there was something behind Su Yueyue's words. She wanted to say something, but for a moment, she couldn't find any clues. So she could only nod. "Maybe he wants to wait until it's more stable before telling me."
"Alright. I've been disturbing you for so long. The Prince of Yu will be back from the morning court soon. If he can't find me in the mansion, he'll be worried again."
Although Su Yueyue said so, there was a happy smile on her face.
Su Mingyu raised her eyebrows. She suddenly didn't quite understand why Su Yueyue had come to see her today.
However, she didn't have much time to think about it when Tang Ziyan showed up. He was holding a bowl of bird's nest in his hand. "I heard that the Second Miss of the Su family came just now?"
Su Mingyu nodded. "Yes, she came, but left soon."
Then Su Mingyu glanced at the tray in his hand and couldn't help laughing and crying. "Are you raising me like a pig? I remember that you're best at musical instruments. Why do you seem like a chef now?"
Tang Ziyan wasn't angry. He very patiently put the bird's nest on the table in front of her. "I saw that you didn't eat much this morning, so I specially cooked it for you. Please do me a favor and take a bite?"
"Alright, alright. Anyway, it's our Young Master Tang's kind intention, isn't it?" With that, Su Mingyu got up, picked up the bowl of bird's nest, and took small sips.
