Chapter 291 A Substitute Bride's Brave Love, A Prince Without Heirs Forever By Her Side - 21

"I hope so!"

He pinched her nose. "It's clearly something to be happy about, why are you looking so gloomy!"

Her voice was muffled, "I'm just... just worried that if my biological parents find me, they'll deliberately try to abandon me."

"You still have me! They don't want you, but I do!"

That night, Zhuo Yucheng fell asleep, but the exhausted Mu Wanwan still couldn't fall asleep.

"Piggy, why isn't this part in your storyline?"

"Master, because the protagonist's main storyline in the early stages is different from the current development, a hidden storyline has been triggered as you progress."

Mu Wanwan felt sorry for herself. After learning that the two people in the Mu family were not her relatives, she felt uneasy.

"Then who are my biological parents?"

"Master, I just found out that you might not believe what your biological parents say!"

Mu Wanwan's heart clenched instantly. "Who is it? Could it be a homeless person?"

Piggy shook his head. "He's not quite a homeless person!"

Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me!

The pig said mysteriously, "Your true identity is a princess from another land."

Her brain went blank for a moment. "What...what princess?"

"A princess from another land!"

Piggy chuckled, "So you don't need to worry, you're not the child of some beggar or homeless person."

"Then how am I supposed to go and acknowledge my relatives?" Mu Wanwan was still worried!

“Master, I have found out that your parents will be coming here to look for you soon. Isn’t this an opportunity that’s been presented to us?”

Mu Wanwan began to look forward to it. "Zhuo Yucheng said he would help me find it, so all I need to do is put in a little effort and things will fall into place naturally."

"That's right!"

-

Li Ping was helped to pay her respects to Mu Wanwan, who sat in the main seat with her gaze fixed on her.

"Li Ping greets the Princess!"

After getting up, she placed her hand on her lower abdomen, raised an eyebrow at Mu Wanwan, and then sat down with her head held high and chest out.

Wan'er, who was standing to the side, disliked her and directly confronted her, "Sister Liping, what an airs you have! You're even late to pay your respects!"

Li Ping supported her lower back and stretched out her belly.

"Sister Wan'er, the Princess hasn't even blamed me yet, but you're already questioning my crimes. Since when did your power surpass that of the Princess?"

"Don't make false accusations! Humph~"

Mu Wanwan was quite happy to see them fighting like dogs, but as the princess of the royal palace, she should show magnanimity and turn hostility into friendship at this time.

"Wan'er, we are all sisters serving the Prince. Everyone has times when they are delayed! I believe Liping must have a reason for being delayed, otherwise she wouldn't have been so late for no reason, making us wait so long!"

Another concubine, who was usually quiet, spoke up to help, "Your Highness, Sister Liping has been feeling nauseous and vomiting all day. She must have been vomiting all night as well. This morning I saw a physician go to her room early to treat her."

Li Ping reached out and patted Yang Qiaoqiao, who was speaking up for her, "Sister Qiao'er is so observant. I've been feeling nauseous and dry heaving a lot lately, so I went to see the physician. Who would have thought..."

Mu Wanwan took a sip of tea. "What did you intend to do?"

She smiled, covering her face with a handkerchief, seemingly shy, "Who would have thought the physician would discover that I am pregnant!"

Mu Wanwan paused, holding her teacup, and told herself to keep her composure.

Pretending to be casual, she set her teacup aside, but Aunt Mei spoke first, "Liping, pregnancy is no laughing matter!"

Li Ping feigned grievance, tears welling up in her eyes, "Aunt Mei, why don't you believe me? I, I really am pregnant. If the Princess and my sisters don't believe me, they can summon the physician to examine my pulse and verify the truth, to see if I'm lying!"

Aunt Mei then gave a wink to the person next to her, and a maid quickly ran out and returned shortly afterward with a female physician.

"Liping, it's not that I don't trust you, but it would be safer to take your pulse again. If you are indeed pregnant, it would be the most joyous occasion in our royal family."

"Yes, princess."

She then stretched out her hand; the pregnancy was a fact, and she wasn't afraid of a second pulse diagnosis.

"Your Highness, Liping is indeed more than a month pregnant."

Mu Wanwan felt as if her heart was being squeezed, and she felt a sharp pain.

Aunt Mei waved her hand at the physician, who then withdrew. "Your Highness, look at this~"

"Since she is the prince's bloodline and the first child of the prince's mansion, we will certainly take good care of her and the child."

Aunt Mei was somewhat worried about Mu Wanwan. She suppressed her discomfort and said such dignified words, which was also the greatest face she could give Zhuo Yucheng.

"Aunt Mei, Mother has handed over the management of the Prince's Mansion to me. We must take good care of Liping's child and ensure that nothing goes wrong!"

She reached out and grasped Aunt Mei's hand. "Take some of the best tonics from the storeroom and send them to Liping's small kitchen. Also, assign a few capable maids to Liping to help her. Make sure to tell them to take good care of Liping and the baby in her belly."

"Yes!"

Li Ping stood up and bowed in thanks.

"Liping, there's no need for formalities. You're pregnant now, so all formalities are waived."

Mu Wanwan didn't want to be known for mistreating pregnant women, but she was puzzled. It turned out that Zhuo Yucheng wasn't infertile after all. All those lies about wanting her to have his child were just that—lies.

While her own belly showed no signs of pregnancy, Li Ping was already pregnant.

So annoying!

After the event, Mu Wanwan asked Aunt Mei to pass on the news of Li Ping's pregnancy to Zhuo Yucheng, so that he could be happy too.

She went straight back to her room and locked the door from the inside, not letting anyone in.

When Zhuo Yucheng learned that Liping was pregnant, his first concern was not for Liping but for Mu Wanwan.

"Aunt Mei, how is she?"

Aunt Mei knew without saying who he was referring to!

"Your Highness appears very calm. However, I just heard from the maid that Your Highness has locked herself in her room and is refusing to see anyone! I wonder if this matter is weighing on your mind!"

Zhuo Yucheng could no longer sit still. He threw down the book in his hand, got up, and ran.

"Wanwan?"

He pushed the door, but it was locked from the inside. No matter how he tried to open it from the outside, the tightly closed door wouldn't budge.

"Wanwan, it's me, Yucheng. Please open the door, okay?"

Mu Wanwan's muffled voice came from inside, "Your Highness, I am not feeling well today and want to rest. Please go to someone else's place."

You are being asked to leave!

Does she not even want to see him/her?

"Wanwan, be good, open the door, I can explain anything!"

He was extremely anxious outside, knowing that she was his only woman, and if unrelated people caused a rift between them, he would suffer a great loss.

Seeing that the door was tightly closed, he tried to entice her to open it no matter how much he called out to her.
