Seeing her like this, Pei Yuqing naturally wouldn’t laugh at her anymore, but said seriously: "Wanwan is in excellent health; it’s me who should be working harder on having children, so don’t pressure yourself."

His voice is soft yet firm, and Xie Wanqing feels a bit moved, yet somewhat fortunate.

Luckily, they don’t like having servants attend them during meals, otherwise, how embarrassing it would be for the maidservants to hear these words.

After finishing lunch, Xie Wanqing accompanies Pei Yuqing to the study.

On the way, she brings up the incident they stumbled upon yesterday.

Pei Yuqing says: "Brother Ji’s reminder was very correct; whether or not they suspect anything, you should lessen your interactions with Cao Yingying in the future."

"I certainly won’t have any associations with them, it’s just..." Xie Wanqing says, "If they indeed suspect I discovered their affair, they wouldn’t need to interact with me; they could entirely use someone else against me."

In her previous life, she stayed within a small courtyard, seldom going out, yet still died mysteriously, never expecting her own aunt would be the one to harm her.

Once bitten by a snake, one is afraid of ropes for ten years; she is indeed a bit uneasy and fearful.

"Worried about this?" Pei Yuqing thinks for a few moments, then says: "In the residence, only Xuan’er is quite close to Miss Cao; you could tell her about what you saw yesterday, so she guards against being used by others, unknowingly doing wrong."

The incident encountered yesterday...

The lascivious scene flashes before her eyes again, and Xie Wanqing’s face turns somewhat unsightly; how could she tell a young lady such things?

She says: "Then I’ll just give her a brief hint."

Last night she only briefly told him about catching the Second Prince and Cao Yingying in an affair.

Since Pei Yuqing already knew, he didn’t ask much either.

But now, upon hearing this, he lowers his gaze to her and asks curiously, "What’s the detailed story then?"

Xie Wanqing pauses her steps, then retorts with some annoyance: "You’ve even visited brothels; how could you not know how ladies attend to guests?"

Pei Yuqing: "..."

"Visiting places is one thing, but I really haven’t seen those matters," he pinches her small face, his tone innocent, "Wanwan knows that the location was chosen by that person, and they sent me the invitation."

In his mind, he’s already resolved to never let this small-hearted lady find out that the two brothels in Capital City are actually his properties.

And upon hearing this, Xie Wanqing indeed thinks Lu Ziyuan is truly despicable.

To frame a love rival, he invites one to visit a brothel, use seductive drugs, and send women.

Not one upright method!

After a quiet while, Pei Yuqing suddenly asks: "What exactly did you see? The Second Prince..."

"Nothing!" Xie Wanqing hurriedly interrupts, "I didn’t see anything!"

What’s there left to say with that reaction.

Pei Yuqing’s voice stops, his jaw unintentionally tightens, and he doesn’t speak for a long time.

After quite a while, he finally laughs and says: "No worries, from now on, you’re only allowed to look at me."

"..." Xie Wanqing becomes speechless, slowly widens her eyes, "Pei Changqing, you’re truly shameless!"

Pei Yuqing laughs but doesn’t refute, instead continuing with the previous topic: "You don’t need to be scared; there aren’t many servants in Xuanhua Courtyard, and they’re all my people. Even if the Second Prince is certain you uncovered them and wishes to harm you secretly, the difficulty is akin to ascending to the heavens."

As for each time she goes out of the residence for a play or banquet, the food she eats is with the other noble ladies as well; if anything were to happen, it’d be a major incident affecting them all, definitely thoroughly investigated to the end.

Even if the Second Prince truly harbors ill intent, he must weigh if he dares to do so.
