"This place is secluded, and my wife rests here for a while. I believe there will be news soon." Outside the rockery, a servant lady in her thirties helped Mrs. Shizi, the princess of Yijiang, into the small red pavilion covered with pine and cypress.

Jiang Ling glanced at the lady a few times and bit her ears with her sister, "This should be the wife of the Prince of the Prince of Yijiang Hou."

Jiang Liu nodded, "Brother has seen her?"

"Not only, the facial features of the grandson and granddaughter of Yijianghou are very similar to her." Jiang Ling whispered.

Liu Shen is now enrolled in the Imperial College, but he once studied at Qingjin Academy with his brother. It is normal for his brother to see him, but Liu Lan, the granddaughter of Marquis of Yijiang, has never even seen Jiang Liu several times. The brother actually remembers her appearance, which is a bit strange. Jiang Liu's peach blossom eyes are shiny and he covers his mouth and laughs.

Jiang Ling leaned into her ear, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Liu was afraid that his brother would feel embarrassed, so he didn't mention this and said softly, "Brother, this prince's wife is much haggard than before, so she must be sick."

Last year, Liu Ruyan's skin was as soft as fat as her lips were red, but when she saw her, she felt sorry for her, but when she saw her again today, she was thin and her face was dim, and she looked completely different. No wonder the Marquis of Yijiang would send someone to Wutongguan to find Master Chengkong.

Jiang Ling nodded, "She fell ill at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month last year and has not recovered yet."

The brother knew so clearly about the matter of the Yijiang Marquis Mansion? Jiang Liu turned his eyes and looked at his brother's eyes again. Because the cave was dim, Jiang Ling did not notice his sister's changes. He was not interested in what the people in the pavilion were saying, but felt very good about hiding with his sister in this narrow space. Jiang Ling was afraid that his sister would squat and numb, so he sat on the stone next to him, pulled her sleeve, and signaled her to sit on his lap.

Jiang Liu shook his head and leaned into his brother's ear and reminded him, "Brother, I'm nine years old."

"Even if you are eighty years old, you are my sister." Jiang Ling was dissatisfied with her older sister, and she held her sleeve and refused to let go.

Why does this sound very familiar? Jiang Liu moved over carefully, sat next to his brother, and continued to look out with relish. Since the cracks on the wall between the Jiang family and the Meng family were blocked, she has not watched the fun through the gap for a long time. Today, she looked out through the cracks of the rocks and felt very nostalgic. It would be great if the fifth sister was there, and they could still discuss it after watching it. The brother seemed to be not interested.

Liu Ruyan sat withered in the pavilion, and the master and servant didn't even say anything, which made Jiang Liu, who was waiting to watch the fun, feel bored and couldn't help but yawn. The cave was cold. Jiang Ling was worried that his sister would be frozen, so he raised his arm to hug her. Jiang Liu yawned again and leaned against his brother to doze.

Just as she was half asleep and half awake, a voice came from outside: "Madam, Master Chengkong is no longer in the Wutong Temple, and his place is unknown. The people who are guarding outside the Wutong Temple have gradually dispersed."

Jiang Liu rubbed his little face, narrowed his eyes and raised his face out, and saw that the manager of the Yijiang Hou Mansion, who had just gone to Wutongguan Houshan.

Liu Ruyan was still sitting withered like wood. The servant standing beside her said dissatisfiedly, "Didn't you just stayed there last night? Why is there still unknown whereabouts? He can't fly away with wings!"

The manager did not explain, lowered his head and said nothing. Liu Ruyan still said nothing, and the servant said again, "You go and keep a close eye on Duke Shen's mansion, they will definitely investigate the whereabouts of the master."

The manager dared not, "If the people from Duke Shen's mansion noticed it, I would not have enough lives for them to cut them."

"Is your life important or your wife's body important?" The servant glared, "You might as well go!"

The servant looked up at the prince's wife who was silent and turned around. The servant bent down and straightened the cloak on the prince's wife, and advised, "Madam, it's a breeze here. I will help you go down the mountain and return home?"

Liu Ruyan sat motionlessly, staring straight into the distance, not knowing what she was looking at, Jiang Liu thought she was quite scary like this.

The servant said a few words and then said sadly, "Madam, the young master and the girl are still waiting for you in the Marquis' Mansion. Your body is not yet ready, so it's time for us to go home."

Thinking of his children, Liu Ruyan's hand couldn't help but put it on her lower abdomen and murmured, "My body is not going to be better."

Jiang Liu saw her actions and couldn't help but make some speculations.

The servant in the pavilion continued to persuade, "Madam, don't say discouraged words. You are still young. As long as you relax, you can quickly take care of your health. When Chengkong was appointed as the Imperial Physician Bureau, he treated many concubines in the harem. He was good at this... The Qin family will definitely find him for Concubine Rong in the palace. Even if the Qin family can't find Master Chengkong, I can still ask Mr. Jiang Er..."

"Don't mention him!"

Liu Ruyan's voice was sharp, which scared Jiang Liu. Jiang Ling hurriedly held her sister and patted her back gently, so that she would not be afraid.

"Damn me, please calm down my anger." The servant knelt on the ground and apologized.

Liu Ruyan in the pavilion pressed her thin hands on her chest, and after a while of heavy breathing, she gradually calmed down. "No need to look for it. If Chengkong Zhen can cure this disease, Wang Qinghe would not die."

Why did Jiang Liu even mention his deceased mother?

The servant advised, "...... He is alienated from Wang Qinghe and his wife. He is so handsome that he will not ask Master Chengkong for Wang Qinghe. Madam, don't be discouraged. You are different from Wang Qinghe. She hurt her body during childbirth, and you are just..."

"Stop." Liu Ruyan interrupted the servant lady with a stern voice, and she felt cold all over when she remembered that night.

After the master and servant left, Jiang Liu and his brother got out of the cave and kept warm in the sun. Jiang Ling said, "After going back, sister, don't tell her father about this, and don't mention it in front of Mrs. Yazheng."

"Well." Liu Ruyan was once the one whose father wanted to marry, and Mrs. Yazheng is now her wife. It is indeed inappropriate to chat with them about Liu Ruyan, but she had to prevent the woman beside Liu Ruyan from running to her father and making trouble for her. Jiang Liu thought about it and discussed with her brother, "You should tell Jiang Houer about this matter so that he can pay attention to the people in the Yijiang Marquis' Mansion, so that they will not make their father unhappy."

Jiang Ling nodded, "I'll tell the monkey."

This matter cannot be told to my father and Mrs. Yazheng, but I can tell my sister. After returning home, Jiang Liu talked about this with her sister, but she just omitted the mother of the Yijiang Marquis' Mansion to mention the matter of my father and mother.

Jiang Muyan whispered to her sister, "I heard that Mrs. Wei Jiang Houzi accidentally fell in the mansion at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month last year and could not save the fetus in her womb."

Judging from Liu Ruyan's meaning, her illness is similar to that of her mother. Could it be that her mother had also had abortion? Jiang Liu looked surprised, probably... no?
