The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 975 - 969: The Flower Gathering at Prince Jin Residence

What happens next is uncertain, and Gu Youyou did not console her. Instead, when she left, she told her to treat it as a day all on her own, visiting relatives.

Who doesn’t have a strange relative in their family?

Thinking this, Lin Qianqing felt quite happy.

...

Taking advantage of the fine day, Lin Qianqing held a flower banquet at the Prince Jin Residence.

The mansion of Prince Jin was inherited from a princess from generations ago. This young princess had become a widow early and never remarried. She had no daughters to inherit her estate, so when she passed away, the residence was reclaimed.

The princess had loved various flowers and plants during her lifetime, so even now, Prince Jin’s residence still maintained many precious flowers and plants for people to admire.

Gu Youyou received the invitation and arrived at the Prince Jin Residence early in the morning.

Madam Lin was also invited, but to avoid any suspicion that she might be bringing Gu Youyou to Prince Jin’s mansion, she decided not to go.

Long Luo, having been waiting at the doorway since early morning, immediately handed Gu Youyou over to a reliable maid, saying, "Miss Youyou, our princess is in the floral hall right now, along with several ladies and madams. Please go ahead."

Long Luo, as the head maid brought from Lin Qianqing’s maternal home, held a much higher status than ordinary maids.

It was still early, and only a few ladies were present in the floral hall, including Consort Qinyun from Prince Qin.

Qinyun had not seen Gu Youyou for a long time and was even more enthusiastic about her visit than Lin Qianqing was.

"Doctor Gu, oh my, have you nearly forgotten me? I haven’t seen you in such a long time."

Qinyun seemed the same as before, albeit a bit heavier, which suggested she had been leading a good life.

However, Gu Youyou noticed her slightly protruding belly, indicating that she was pregnant.

Gu Youyou looked intentionally at her belly and said with a light smile, "How could I forget you? It’s been a long time, Qinyun. Have you been well?"

As soon as she spoke, Gu Youyou corrected herself, "I misspoke, how could I ask if you’ve been well? You, surely, have been having a good time."

Qinyun laughingly looked down at her belly and said, "Of course, it’s been good. I am now pregnant, and Prince Qin cherishes me even more."

Gu Youyou heard that the prince’s wife at Prince Qin’s residence had just given birth to a daughter, and no woman had yet borne him a son. And the woman most favored by Prince Qin was none other than Consort Qinyun from the Jie Family.

Compared to Prince Qin, Prince Jin’s situation was quite awkward as a year and a half had passed since his grand wedding, but there had been no news of either a child or even a pregnancy.

"Since you have a child now, why are you still running around?" Gu Youyou asked.

Lin Qianqing came over, pulled them to sit down, and said, "Cousin, Qinyun, stop talking for a moment and sit down."

"Yes, yes, let’s sit and talk." Qinyun pulled Gu Youyou to sit next to her.

She said, "How could I miss the flower banquet hosted by Qianqing? And since you were coming, I naturally had to seize this opportunity to have you check on me."

She extended her hand, indicating for Gu Youyou to take her pulse.

Madam Lin regarded Gu Youyou highly, and seeing her wasn’t easy.

Gu Youyou laughed and said, "Are you saying that the Prince Qin Residence is too poor to afford a doctor? You’re pregnant, isn’t the Imperial Physician at your beck and call?"

Though she said this, Gu Youyou still reached out and touched her wrist. frёeωebɳovel.com

Qinyun laughed and said, "I don’t trust those Imperial Physicians’ medical skills, they really aren’t up to the mark."
