"I don't know," Feng Jin shook her head. She wasn't inside Lin Yuwei's head, so how could she know what Lin Yuwei was thinking?
Ling Mohan's brows furrowed slightly, and his tone was a little flustered. "Since you don't know, why did you... why did you remind Chu Chenyi to do this?"
He had thought Feng Jin had ten-tenths certainty to act this way, but unexpectedly, she didn't know.
To dare to incite Chu Chenyi to do this without being sure in her heart, her courage was truly immense. Wasn't she worried about escalating the situation beyond control?
"What's the big deal? Trying it might yield results," Feng Jin said nonchalantly, not taking the matter to heart at all.
At least trying it would have some effect; not trying it would have no effect. She had to let Chu Chenyi try first. Once those colorful distractions in the backyard were cleared away, Lin Yuwei's anger would surely subside a bit.
Ling Mohan felt Feng Jin was just causing trouble, daring to do something without certainty. If something went wrong, he wondered how she would clean up the mess. She'd be miserable then.
"You're being reckless too," Ling Mohan said helplessly, but he only said it. Towards Feng Jin, despite his helplessness, he was powerless and could only let her have her way.
"Then what do you suggest? We can't let Lin Yuwei keep staying here and not leave. How many times have people come and gone? Ten fingers are almost not enough to count."
The back-and-forth turmoil had happened more than once or twice. It was truly exhausting.
She could only pray that this time it would be a direct hit, cutting off this matter entirely, and preventing them from continuing this endless cycle. Otherwise, she really couldn't hold on any longer.
"If these two continue to fuss, I won't have any good days. Moreover, too many people are involved in their marriage. It's not as simple as separating. And with a child, we can't just watch them grow to dislike each other. We have to find a way to help them."
Continuing to fuss would benefit no one. If the Pingyang Marquis's mansion learned of the news, it would inevitably cause a stir.
Following Chu Chenyi's incident, many officials were uprooted. The imperial court was already unstable, and the Pingyang Marquis was greatly implicated. They absolutely could not allow any further friction because of these matters.
"By the way, this happened in our manor. Make sure no news leaks out. We absolutely cannot let the Pingyang Marquis's mansion know about this."
Feng Jin warned with concern, otherwise, they too would be implicated.
"Don't worry about that. I've already sent people to seal off the news."
He naturally understood the gravity of the situation and had acted with utmost caution, ensuring no one could grasp any handle.
Especially concerning the Pingyang Marquis's mansion; they would absolutely not know a single piece of information.
"That's good. I'll go see Lin Yuwei first. After Chu Chenyi returns, you keep him occupied."
Lin Yuwei's emotions were not yet fully stable. Seeing Chu Chenyi would only remind her of sad things, leading to another bloody storm. It was better for them to meet less for now.
"I know. I'll handle this. You can rest assured."
Ling Mohan patted his chest in assurance. He was confident in dealing with Chu Chenyi and had no problem at all.
After reiterating her instructions multiple times, Feng Jin finally left with peace of mind. She gently knocked twice on the door, and upon receiving a response, pushed it open and walked in.
When Lin Yuwei saw Feng Jin enter, she put down the item in her hands and sat up a little straighter. "Sister Feng Jin, you're here."
"Didn't I tell you to rest well? What are you busy with now?" Feng Jin glanced at the tiger-head hat in her hands and picked it up to examine it. "It's made so exquisitely. A mother's deepest concern is for her child. Look at you, the child in your belly hasn't even been born yet, and you've already prepared this."
"As a mother, I always want to do more for my child. Since I became pregnant, the Empress Dowager and my mother have sent many little clothes and quilts. But I always felt they weren't quite right, so I wanted to make some for the child myself. When he is born, he will be warm and comfortable."
As Lin Yuwei spoke of this, her eyes were filled with tenderness, and the smile on her lips never faded.
She could already imagine what it would be like when the child was born, with the child toddling around in front of her. Such days were indeed very happy to think about.
"Once the child is born, everything will be fine. Seeing them grow day by day is already very happy."
Feng Jin's emotions were also infected. Although Da Bao and Er Bao were sometimes very mischievous, they were also very heartwarming at times. A small gesture could often bring great warmth and happiness.
From their tiny appearance in swaddling clothes, they had grown so much in such a short time. Time truly flew by, and it couldn't be wasted.
"Sister Feng Jin, after my child is born, you must help me a lot and help me teach him. Look how smart and sensible Da Bao and Er Bao are."
It would be wonderful if her child could be as sensible and considerate. At the very least, as long as he wasn't like his father.
"Alright, I will definitely help you a lot. Don't worry, children grow very fast. They grow up in the blink of an eye."
She felt that way too. It seemed like in the blink of an eye, Da Bao and Er Bao had grown so big, and they were becoming more mischievous and harder to discipline.
As they chatted back and forth, having someone to talk to made Lin Yuwei feel much better. The smile on her lips became more pronounced, and all her worries were cast aside, no longer to be remembered.
"By the way, I just heard His Highness Prince Jing say that he's going to drive away all the flirtatious women in the manor, so they won't bother your eyes."
Feng Jin mentioned this casually, which made Lin Yuwei roll her eyes in disdain.
"That's his business. Whatever he wants to do is up to him and has nothing to do with me."
She no longer cared about these things. It was Chu Chenyi's business. His household, his affairs, he should find ways to resolve them himself.
As long as he could afford it, even if he kept twenty women in the manor, she wouldn't care.
"It seems Chu Chenyi truly knows he was wrong this time. He's trying to find ways to win your favor."
"Knows he was wrong... That's absolutely impossible. Sister Feng Jin, you mustn't be fooled by his outward appearance. If he could know he was wrong, then pigs could climb trees."
