"My lord, who are these two won...?"
Su Yunjin looked at the two won behind Gu Ya, probing with her question.
Before Gu Ya could answer, the man sent by Prince Rui Residence spoke up instead, "Lady Gu, these two won are Aunt An and Aunt Bao. They are both midwives with exquisite dical skills and have helped deliver the babies of nurous ladies from noble families in Jincheng. The princess conveys that Lady Gu, you are about to give birth, and she has specially prepared these two midwives for you. With their assistance, your delivery will certainly be safe and smooth."
"Yunjin, the princess has shown great kindness; we should express our gratitude to her," Gu Ya said.
Still imrsed in surprise, Su Yunjin had not expected that in addition to sending New Year’s gifts, the princess would even go as far as to find midwives for her.
Touched by the princess’s considerate gesture, Su Yunjin was still in the midst of her astonishnt and did not hear what Gu Ya said until he spoke again.
Only then did Su Yunjin belatedly co to her senses, "Yes, yes, my lord, we should indeed give our heartfelt thanks to the princess together. Thank you for the princess’s kindness."
"Lady Gu, Young Master Gu, there is no need for formality. The princess said that Lady Gu, you have saved her and the Young Prince of Prince Rui Residence several tis. You have bestowed great kindness upon her, and what she has done for you is nothing more than trifles. Please do not worry about it," the man said respectfully, relaying exactly what the princess had said to Su Yunjin.
Su Yunjin indeed had saved the princess several tis. However, each ti the princess had rewarded her handsoly and had also helped her. To prevent her from being looked down upon by the daughters of noble families, in front of everyone, she even prearranged for the child in Su Yunjin’s womb to be the Crown Princess, and although Su Yunjin did not wish for her child to truly beco the daughter-in-law of the princess, she rembered the princess’s kindness.
Su Yunjin was not soone who failed to recognize kindness. The princess had done all this to help her. Falling into deep thought, the man pulled a brocade box from his sleeve.
"By the way, Lady Gu, apart from the gifts outside, the princess also specifically instructed to bring a gift for you. The princess said this gift is for her future daughter-in-law. The Crown Princess is about to be born, and since it is inconvenient for the princess to co personally, she has carefully selected a gift to express her sentints. She wanted to deliver it to you," saying so, the man handed the box he held to Su Yunjin.
Su Yunjin took the box without thinking while Gu Ya, who was standing next to her, frowned. How could his daughter be betrothed to the annoying brat of Prince Rui Residence without even being born yet?
Gu Ya was slightly displeased.
His face did not show this, however. After all, the princess had sent the midwives from a great distance, and Gu Ya was grateful for that. Thus, despite the discomfort in his heart about his daughter being so casually betrothed to the brat of Prince Rui Residence, Gu Ya uttered no complaint, his face just sowhat grim.
After the attendants finished moving the New Year’s gifts, and the man had completed what the princess had instructed, he did not stay any longer. Even when Su Yunjin offered them tea, they declined.
The man clasped his fist in a salute.
"Lady Gu, Young Master Gu, we still need to travel to Yangcheng. If we are late, it will be inconvenient to find lodging during the journey. We better not drink tea and take your ti," he stated reasonably. Indeed, it was freezing cold outside with ice and snow; if these n couldn’t find a place to stay, spending the night outdoors would undoubtedly be difficult.
It was inappropriate for Su Yunjin to further insist on their stay, so she said, "If so, then I wish you all a smooth and safe journey."
