Early April.
Xia Ruqing's child was nearly three months old.
In a little while, her pregnancy would become conspicuous, and she would have no choice but to make it public.
Fortunately, announcing it after three months would provide an additional layer of protection.
It would have to be revealed sooner or later, after all.
That day, Xia Ruqing suddenly remembered something.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Honored Lady Lan. I heard she's fallen ill. You and Xiao Zhu Zi should go and visit her!"
This person bore no ill will. Having made an acquaintance, it was only right to show some kindness.
Zi Su and Xiao Zhu Zi answered the call and took some gifts to Honored Lady Lan's residence in the rear palace area.
Honored Lady Lan looked pale. She was propped up by the window, basking in the sunlight, her gaze hollow.
Molli was nowhere to be found.
Only Lianlian was in attendance by her side.
