Chapter 1495: Chapter 1502: Cai Lian’s Situation (3)

After speaking, she bent down to play with Little Cai Die.

Little Cai Die, who is over four months old, has already started to roll over. At the moment, she was swinging her delicate short arms vigorously, trying to roll over.

Cai Wei supported her chin, affectionately watching the little child on the kang whose little face was turning red as she struggled with all her might to roll over, reminiscent of how a baby feeds. She couldn’t help but think of the three steamed buns in her own stomach, and her heart suddenly softened. She gently lowered her head and kissed Little Cai Die on her white and tender little face. The little one, gathering strength to turn over, paused her action when her sister kissed her. She just turned over, opening her big eyes that looked like water grapes, curiously staring at Cai Wei, and stuffed her chubby thumb into her tiny mouth, sucking with a ‘sizzle’ sound.

Cai Wei was involuntarily charmed by her, unable to resist picking her up, cradling her in her bosom and playing with her, filled with immense affection.

Seeing this, Lady Du said, “Since you love children so much, why not have one of your own? You’ve already reached the suitable age, and having a child won’t harm your body! Moreover, The Emperor is of high status, and it’s been a long time since the marriage without an heir, which could lead to criticism.”

She didn’t know that Cai Wei was already pregnant, and Cai Wei wasn’t planning to tell her right now. In two more months, it would be the Shangsi Festival, which is also the day of Fei’er’s grand wedding. Anticipating her mother would be sad, she planned to tell her then to alleviate some of her mother’s sense of loss.

“I understand!”

Cai Wei, pretending to be nonchalant, continued to play with the little girl in her arms.

Tickled by her sister, Cai Die waved her chubby arms, laughing ‘hee hee hee’, her eyes crescent-shaped, revealing a row of tender pink gums, extremely adorable. Seeing her playing so happily with Cai Die, Lady Du got off the kang and went to the backyard.

The daughter had finally returned, but had lost a lot of weight; she had to make some delicious food to nourish her, so she personally went to supervise the cooking in the back.

While Cai Wei was playing joyfully with Cai Die, a maid outside announced, “Third Madam has arrived!”

Through the window, the aged voice of Third Aunt Mu asked, “Is Madam here?”

The maid replied, “Yes, Madam is here, and the Empress has returned to visit her family too.”

Third Aunt Mu, excited, replied, “Sister-in-law, may I see the Empress for a moment? I just want to say a few words then I’ll leave!”

Before the maid could respond, Cai Wei spoke through the window, “Third Aunt, come in, it’s cold outside, be careful not to freeze.”

“Ah, yes! Yes!”

Hearing Cai Wei’s voice, Third Aunt Mu hurriedly agreed, walking in feeling immensely honored, and when she saw Cai Wei, she was about to kneel, but Cai Wei signaled Chun Liu to stop her.

“Third Aunt, what are you doing? This is not the palace, and we are not in front of outsiders, just treat me as before,” Cai Wei, holding Die’er, moved back on the kang and Laughed, “Auntie, come up on the kang quickly, did the wind blow you here? Aren’t you doing business today?”

Third Aunt Mu, sitting on the kang awkwardly, hesitated and said, “Today’s stock was all taken by the clients, and I was free, so I came to see your mother. Oh, speaking of which, where is your mother?”

Cai Wei replied, “Mother has gone to the backyard to supervise the cooks. Auntie, if you want to see her, I can have someone take you there!” Saying this, she was about to call someone.

Third Aunt Mu hastily said, “No need, your mother and I can see each other often anyway. It’s you, since you became the Empress, I’ve only seen you once. It’s not easy to see you today, Auntie also wants to chat with you.”

Cai Wei glanced at Third Aunt Mu, gently patting the little child in her arms, and laughed, “I wonder what Auntie wants to chat about? Is it concerning your son-in-law?”
