Yun Wan sat composed before her vanity, letting her maid comb through her long, silky hair. After a long while, the maid Qingluan hurried in, looking flustered as she reported:
"Master, I heard that Aunt Xia went for a walk in her courtyard tonight and had a fall. She saw blood, though fortunately, it wasn't serious and the child was saved. However, she must remain on bed rest for some time now and cannot go anywhere. A servant came to report earlier that the Lord Marquis was supposed to visit our Furong Courtyard tonight, but now he has gone to keep that base woman company instead. Lately, Aunt Xia has been using her pregnancy to steal him away from you every few days. Isn’t she clearly showing off to provoke you?"
