Su Wanrou suddenly remembered that ever since she had miscarried, she had been told that her meals were brought to her room before she ate. Even though Su Wanrou had prepared herself mentally before coming to Ningxiang Pavilion, she couldn't help but feel jealous when she saw this scene. She thought to herself that she was being spoiled too much.

Upon seeing Su Wanrou arrive, Shen Yunshuang hurriedly tried to sit up and bow, but Su Wanrou quickly stopped her, saying, "Sister, please don't move. You're pregnant, so you need to be careful. No need for formalities."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yunshuang's eyebrows curved into a smile, her expression gentle and affectionate: "Sister, please forgive Yunshuang's rudeness, but the young master and the old lady are keeping a close watch on me, and I have been bedridden these past few days to ensure the baby's health. I can't even move around properly."

Her face was fair and rosy, and her eyes were clear as water. Leaning on the cloud pillow, her large pregnant belly added to her delicate and pitiful appearance.

Su Wanrou was filled with resentment. Her claim of having a miscarriage seemed like an act. Her words, filled with the affection of the young master and the old lady, revealed her utterly innocent and naive nature, despite her clear, unwavering eyes.

Remembering what Qiu Shi had said, that this woman was cunning and scheming... she shuddered, thinking to herself that she absolutely could not let this bitch find any fault with her.

With a gentle, natural smile on her face, she sat down on a chair beside the bed. "It's alright. You've had a miscarriage, so you naturally need to rest and recuperate. You can't be too careful." As she spoke, she turned to the side and pointed to the maid behind her, saying, "I've also brought you a lot of good things to nourish the fetus today. Your body is weak, so you need to take good care of yourself."

As she spoke, the maid beside Su Wanrou opened the gift box in her hand, revealing ginseng, deer antler, lingzhi, bird's nest, and practically everything imaginable.

Shen Yunshuang gently stroked her lower abdomen with her slender fingers and blinked: "Sister, this is too precious."

Su Wanrou sneered inwardly, laughing at Shen Yunshuang's naiveté.

His gaze fell on her protruding belly, and jealousy welled up in his heart. He thought to himself, "Eat up, nourish yourself. Just like Zhou Mama said, Shen Yunshuang has a slender frame. As the baby grows bigger with nourishment, the birth will be quite a show."

"No matter how precious it is, it's not as important as the baby in your belly, sister. If you don't accept it, I'll get angry."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yunshuang smiled faintly and said, "Then I shall respectfully comply."

After saying that, she looked up at Xuezhi and said, "Go quickly and get some tea, snacks, and fresh fruit for the Crown Princess."

Having delivered the gifts, Su Wanrou had achieved her goal and did not wish to linger any longer.

But the maids were quick; they managed to give Su Wanrou a cup of tea and a plate of pomegranates.

That bitch! So arrogant!

Su Wanrou's carefully maintained smile was starting to crack. Pomegranates are traditionally associated with many children and good fortune; was this bitch mocking her?

Her face turned cold as she looked at Shen Yunshuang, who feigned fear and stammered, "Sister, why are you unhappy? Don't you like pomegranates?"

As she spoke, her eyes darted around, "I have other fresh fruits here..."

"That's enough." Su Wanrou took a deep breath, stood up, and said, "I won't disturb my sister's pregnancy any longer."

Then, he turned and left.

"Sister, I'm feeling unwell, so I won't see you off." After saying that, Shen Yunshuang covered her mouth and giggled.

Su Wanrou's expression was truly fascinating.

After the Crown Princess disappeared from sight, looking at the tonics she had brought, Green Bud asked with concern, "Your Highness, are these things safe to use?"

"Of course it can be used. I not only want to eat it, but I also want to display it openly so that the young master can see the virtue of his principal wife."

Her gaze lingered on the tonics; even after being reborn, Su Wanrou's methods remained unchanged.

The woman was trying to nourish the fetus, but the large fetus made childbirth difficult. Shen Yunshuang closed her eyes, and the pain of her previous life's massive hemorrhage seemed to reappear. She seemed to see herself lying in a pool of blood.

When she looked up again, her eyes were glistening, and she thought to herself, "This trick will never work a second time."

After this delivery of tonics, Jinlan Courtyard sent several more, which Shen Yunshuang accepted each time.

Seeing that Shen Yunshuang had no reservations and kept praising the virtue of the Crown Princess, Pei Jingnian couldn't help but let go of his prejudices and felt that his Shuang'er was simple and innocent.

As her belly grew larger and she began to feel fetal movement, Pei Jingnian spent more and more time with Shen Yunshuang.

He often put his ear to Shen Yunshuang's pregnant belly to listen to the fetal heartbeat, and at this time, the little guy in the belly would become more and more vigorous, kicking Shen Yunshuang painfully.

That day, the baby in her womb seemed to be moving very violently. Shen Yunshuang's face turned pale from the baby's kicks, and her breathing became rapid. Pei Jingnian was very worried when he saw this, and immediately sent someone to summon Doctor Zhang.

Shen Yunshuang leaned against Pei Jingnian's chest, one hand supporting her prominent pregnant belly, the other resting on the pulse pillow for Doctor Zhang to take her pulse. Her delicate brows were slightly furrowed, her face pale and pitiful. Pei Jingnian's voice was anxious: "Why is the baby moving so frequently, Consort? Is there any way to alleviate it?"

Doctor Zhang stroked his beard, stood up, and said, "Your Highness, there's no need to worry. Frequent fetal movements are simply because the baby is growing well."

Shen Yunshuang said softly, "These past few days, I've been eating the tonics that my sister, the Crown Princess, sent me. They're truly wonderful for the fetus. Your Highness, as long as the child in my womb is healthy and well, I'm willing to endure this suffering."
