The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 445

Yun Youyou forced an ugly smile and said softly, "Congratulations, Ziling, you're going to be a mother soon." Although her words were filled with congratulations, her eyes concealed deep bitterness and reluctance.

Shangguan Ziling's eyes flickered and she said, "Thank you!"

Yun Youyou's heart felt as if it was blown by a cold wind, and she was filled with sadness. She thought of her unborn child, but now it had turned into endless regret and sadness.

She didn't understand why God was so unfair to her, letting her child leave her, but allowing Shangguan Ziling to become pregnant and give birth so smoothly.

She recalled how heartbroken she felt when she learned she was pregnant and lost the child. Not only that, but also her father...

She had shed so many tears and felt so much pain in her heart these days, but at this moment, Shangguan Ziling was immersed in the joy of becoming a mother. This sharp contrast made Yun Youyou feel even more unbearable.

She looked at Shangguan Ziling's round belly, as if she saw a living life growing inside it.

Yun Youyou's thoughts were interrupted by Shangguan Zirun pulling her sleeve. She raised her head and saw Shangguan Ziling's smiling face, which was really dazzling!

Shangguan Zirun sighed in his heart. Ever since what happened to his father-in-law last year, Youyou has completely changed. He tried hard to make her happy and help her get out of her sadness, but the effect was not obvious and he was exhausted.

Beichen Xue noticed that the atmosphere in the hall was a little subtle. She took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Zi Ling, check on Youyou to see if there is any root cause of the disease so that you can get treatment as soon as possible."

Shangguan Ziling immediately stood up upon hearing this and walked towards Yun Youyou who was standing beside her.

Yun Youyou's body stiffened at this moment, with an unnatural look on her face.

"Mother, I'm in good health. There's no need to trouble Zi Ling." Yun Youyou said softly, with a slight tremor in her voice.

Beichen Xue frowned upon seeing this. "Youyou, I treat you like my own daughter, so how can I not worry about your health? Zi Ling is an excellent doctor, so let her check you out, so that you can rest assured, right?" Beichen Xue said in a very gentle tone.

Yun Youyou bit her lower lip tightly when she heard this, as if she was making a difficult decision. Finally, she took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Okay, mother."

Shangguan Ziling came forward and gently held Yun Youyou's wrist. Her fingers gently slid over Yun Youyou's pulse, and a strange look flashed across her face.

Beichen Xue looked at Zi Ling nervously, afraid to hear some bad news from her.

After a moment, Shangguan Ziling let go of her hand, walked back and sat down.

Beichen Xue looked at Shangguan Ziling and asked, "Ziling, how is your sister-in-law?"

Shangguan Ziling paused, as if considering her words, "Mother, my sister-in-law is in good health."

Beichen Xue nodded and said, "That's good, that's good."

At this moment, a hearty laugh broke the silence, and Bei Suqi strode in. He was wearing a navy blue robe with an exquisite jade belt around his waist, looking both chic and handsome.

His face was filled with a brilliant smile and his eyes were shining brightly, as if the whole hall was filled with new vitality because of his arrival.

"Aunt, uncle, eh? You are my cousin, right?" Bei Suqi saw Shangguan Zirun standing beside him, and a hint of curiosity and joy flashed in his eyes. He walked up to Shangguan Zirun, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Hello, cousin."

Shangguan Zirun also stood up quickly upon seeing this, and bowed, saying, "Cousin." His voice was clear and pleasant, with a hint of bookishness. He was dressed in a green shirt, had a delicate face, and a heroic look between his eyebrows, which made people look at him a few more times.

Bei Suqi laughed loudly, obviously quite satisfied with his cousin. He sat on the other side of Shangguan Zirun and started chatting intimately. The conversation between the two was relaxed and pleasant, with bursts of laughter from time to time, filling the entire hall with a joyful atmosphere.

Beichenxue looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel relieved. She smiled at Beisuqi and said, "Suqi, did you have fun along the way? Are you adapting well in the Dongyue Dynasty?"

Upon hearing this, Bei Suqi nodded quickly and said, "Aunt, I've adapted. I've adapted so well. The customs and practices here are very different from those in the North. It really opened my eyes. I don't even want to go back to the North."

Beichen Xue couldn't help but laugh when she heard that, "That won't work. Your parents want you to go back early, get married and have children. If you like a girl in the Dongyue Dynasty, you can also talk to your uncle and ask him to ask someone to talk to you."

When Bei Suqi heard this, he scratched his head awkwardly and said with a smile: "Aunt, let's not talk about this! I haven't thought about these things yet. I just want to travel around and gain more knowledge."

Beichenxue heard this and didn't force it, but just smiled and nodded. She knew that Bei Suqi had a free and easy personality and didn't like to be bound, so she didn't mention it again.

Shangguan Ziling covered her mouth and smiled.

Yun Youyou felt very uncomfortable. They were laughing and chatting here, but she felt like an outsider and couldn't fit in.

Yun Youyou stood up and said, "Father, Mother, I suddenly feel a little dizzy and want to go back and rest."

Beichenxue frowned, "Why are you suddenly dizzy? Ziling, check on Youyou!"

Yun Youyou quickly said: "No need, I'll just go back and rest for a while."

Shangguan Dong said in a deep voice: "Zirun, send Youyou back to rest."

Shangguan Zirun stood up and wanted to help Yun Youyou, but she coldly pulled her hand away and said lightly, "No need." Then she turned and left, leaving the room full of astonishment and confusion.

Yun Youyou's figure disappeared outside the door, Shangguan Zirun's hand was still suspended in mid-air, as if he could still feel the coolness of her fingertips. He froze in place, the smile on his face gradually solidified.

The atmosphere in the hall became heavy, as if being suppressed by an invisible force.

Bei Suqi sat aside, watching the scene curiously.

Shangguan Ziling was eating snacks while glancing at Shangguan Zirun out of the corner of her eye.

"Brother, your health is important. Excessive indulgence will harm your body." Shangguan Ziling said lightly, but her voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly. Her words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples.

Shangguan Zirun's face suddenly turned red. He lowered his head in embarrassment, feeling an indescribable shame in his heart.

He knew that he had indeed been a little overindulgent recently, and in the past two months, Youyou had been even more arrogant and unreasonable, making excessive demands.

He knew that Youyou wanted to get pregnant as soon as possible, and he also thought that if Youyou could get pregnant again, maybe she could get out of her sadness. He could only try his best to meet her needs.

But I didn't expect that my sister saw it all so clearly.

Bei Suqi was even more shocked when he saw Shangguan Zirun's reaction. He had never thought that this cousin who looked gentle and elegant would have such a hidden side.

They have a good relationship? But the scene just now...

The atmosphere in the hall became increasingly heavy, as if everyone was restrained by this sudden embarrassment. Shangguan Zirun sat in the chair in silence, his heart in a mess.
