Chapter 78: Worker Yixiu goes crazy after rebirth

The next morning, Yinzhen brought Rouze to serve tea. Since Yixiu was still in confinement after giving birth, none of the princesses and concubines from other courtyards came.

Rouze followed Yinzhen and walked into Yixiu's bedroom.

She was in a mixed mood, feeling nervous about meeting Yixiu, as well as excited and anxious about her future life.

She was wearing a pink dress which made her look more delicate, and her makeup was exquisite, but there was an imperceptible worry in her eyes.

Yinzhen led the way in front, his steps were steady, but he felt inexplicably irritated in his heart.

He knew his responsibility to Yixiu, but he couldn't ignore his feelings for Rouze. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his heart.

Walking into the bedroom, Yi Zhengzhen was lying on the bed. Although his face was still a little pale, his temperament became more gentle.

When she saw Yinzhen and Rouze come in, a complex emotion flashed across her eyes, but then she regained her composure.

Yinzhen walked to Yixiu's bedside and said softly, "Xiaoyi, Rouze is here to serve you tea."

Yixiu nodded slightly, motioning Rouze to come forward. Rouze took a deep breath and walked to Yixiu with the teacup in hand. She lowered her head slightly, raised the teacup in front of Yixiu, and said softly, "Sister, please have some tea."

At this moment, Rouze suddenly lost control of the teacup in her hand and spilled it. Some tea splashed onto Yixiu's skirt, instantly soaking the fabric.

Seeing this, Yinzhen hurried forward to support Rouze and asked with concern: "Rouzhe, what's wrong with you?"

Rouze smiled slightly, with a sly look in her eyes: "Nothing, just a little dizzy and a little exhausted."

After saying this, a blush appeared on her face.

As she spoke, she leaned into Yinzhen's arms, and their eyes met in the air, full of affection. This scene fell into Yixiu's eyes, and she felt indescribable in her heart.

Yixiu looked at the intimacy between the two and felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart, but then this feeling was forcibly suppressed. After all, this was the person she had loved for her entire life.

But seeing such a scene still makes me feel a little sad.

She forced herself to suppress the feeling, forced a smile on her face, and said to Rouze, "Sister, are you okay? Come and sit up."

Hearing this, Rouze slowly got up from Yinzhen's arms and sat on a chair beside him. She looked at Yixiu with a proper smile on her face: "Thank you for your concern, sister. I'm fine."

Yinzhen looked at Rouze, feeling guilty. He knew Rouze did this on purpose, but he couldn't blame her.

He turned to look at Yixiu, wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

Yixiu watched the interaction between the two and understood everything. What was there to not understand? He obviously knew that this was just the difference between love and not love.

Rouze picked up the teacup and offered tea to Yixiu again. This time, she did not make any mistakes and handed the tea to Yixiu steadily.

Yixiu took the teacup, took a sip, then put it down and said to Rouze, "Sister, our family will live together again from now on. I hope you can have children for me soon, and don't let Fourth Master and me down."

Hearing this, Rouze smiled slightly: "Don't worry, sister, I will."

Rouze sat on a chair, chatting with Yixiu, seemingly putting the previous disturbance behind her. The atmosphere seemed harmonious during their conversation, but Yixiu always felt a little uneasy.

At this moment, Jian Qiu came in holding the baby Hong Hui. Hong Hui was sleeping soundly, and his pink little face looked particularly cute in Jian Qiu's arms.

Seeing this, Rouze's eyes flashed with curiosity and expectation. She stood up, slowly walked towards Jian Qiu, and said in surprise: "Oh, is this my sister's child? It's so cute."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hands, wanting to take Honghui. However, her fingers were still covered with sharp armor, which shone coldly in the sun.

Yixiu was shocked when she saw this. She knew that the baby's skin was delicate, how could it withstand the touch of armor? She stood up quickly and slapped away Rouze's hand.

"Sister, be careful." Yixiu's tone was somewhat reproachful, "Honghui is still young and can't stand your touching like this."

Rouze was startled by Yixiu's sudden action. She took a half step back with a look of grievance on her face. She raised her hand and gently covered her hand, with tears in her eyes, and looked at Yinzhen.

Yinzhen had been silently observing the interaction between the two. When he saw Rouze like this, he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart.

He turned to look at Yixiu, frowned slightly, and said reproachfully:

"Xiao Yi, how could you treat Rou Ze like this? She just wanted to see the child."

Yixiu felt bitter when she heard this. She looked at Yinzhen with disappointment in her eyes. Upon closer inspection, she could see deep hatred hidden in his eyes.

The child is his Achilles' heel and anyone who touches him will die.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then said slowly:

"Master, I didn't mean it. It's just that the armor on my sister's hand is too sharp, and I'm afraid of hurting Honghui."

Yinzhen heard this and then noticed the armor on Rouze's hand. He frowned and said to Rouze, "Rouzhe, why are you still wearing armor? Take it off quickly."

When Rouze heard this, a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes. She lowered her head to look at her hands, then raised her head and looked at Yinzhen pitifully:

"Master, I've been wearing this armor since I was a child, and I feel a little uncomfortable taking it off. I forgot that babies' skin is delicate and cannot be touched."

Yinzhen looked at Rouze's aggrieved look and his heart softened. He sighed and said to Yixiu:

"Xiaoyi, Rouze didn't mean it. Don't blame her anymore."

Yixiu watched the interaction between the two with mixed feelings. In her previous life, Rouze had always been as pure as a white lotus, but this life was a little different. She just wanted to silently protect Honghui and do her best to help him grow up healthily.

Other love, hate, and emotions have nothing to do with you.

Seeing Yinzhen on her side, Rouze was secretly pleased. She walked towards Yixiu again and reached out to take Honghui. However, Yixiu held Honghui tightly and refused to let go.

"Sister, please let me hug Honghui." Rouze's voice was a little coquettish, "I promise I will be careful."

Yixiu looked at Rouze and understood her thoughts. She knew Rouze would not give up contacting Honghui easily, so she said coldly: "Sister, Honghui is still young and can't stand the tossing. You should wait until he grows up before holding him."

When Rouze heard this, the smile on her face froze. She looked at Yixiu, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes. But she also knew that it was not appropriate to make a fuss at this time, so she turned around and walked back to the chair and sat down without saying anything.

Yinzhen saw the atmosphere between the two people become tense, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He looked at Yixiu, then at Rouze, then stood up and said:

"Well, it's getting late. Rouze, you should go back and rest first."

When Rouze heard this, she felt unwilling, but she also knew that it was not appropriate to stay any longer. She stood up, bowed to Yinzhen and Yixiu, and then slowly left the bedroom.

Yinzhen looked at Rouze's departing back and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He knew that he could never give up his feelings for Rouze, but he also understood the responsibility on his shoulders.

He turned and looked at Yixiu, with a hint of guilt and helplessness in his eyes.

Yixiu looked at Yinzhen and sneered in her heart. What was he pretending to be? She sighed softly and said, "Master, you don't have to worry about me. I will take good care of myself and Honghui."

Yinzhen felt warm at the sight of this. He walked over to Yixiu, gently held her hand and said, "Xiaoyi, thank you."

Yixiu looked at Yinzhen. Although her heart was in turmoil, she remained calm on the surface.

She knew that there was an unbridgeable gap between herself and Yinzhen, but she was also willing to work hard to maintain this superficial harmony for Honghui.

After all, the child is still young and needs a father to protect him from the wind and rain.
