$459: I Can No Longer Have Children
This incident was like a farce. Su Xinyi didn't know what to say, but it was a pity for Pei Huiran and his innocent face was hurt.
It was my mother who planned this with others, which is really unreasonable.
"How did the Queen deal with it?" Su Xinyi looked at Grandma She.
"When it comes to the Wu'an Hou Mansion, the Queen will naturally inform His Highness the Crown Prince. Now we are waiting for His Highness."
Su Xinyi:......
Mrs. Wu'an Hou is not so thick-skinned. She has made such plans several times, and I am afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince will not feel comfortable.
The queen did not ask Su Xinyi to give her an explanation. She knew that the queen was giving her a thorough explanation. If she came forward to criticize Mrs. Wu Anhou, she would inevitably be criticized. Although the matter with Pei Nianwei did not make a big deal, it was still a big deal. Some rumors had spread, and if she punished Mrs. Wu'anhou at this time, it would be easy for Mrs. Wu'anhou to take advantage of the situation and accuse her of avenging public revenge.
The queen...
Su Xinyi smiled, looked at Nanny She and said, "The Queen has no choice but to repay her kindness in the future."
Aunt She said, "The Crown Princess takes great care of Prince Rong and Princess Rong. How can the Empress not know this in her heart? This is how she repays kindness in return."
Su Xinyi was in a good mood and everything was going smoothly. To her, this was like getting rid of most of the haze in her previous life.
"There is one more thing." Nanny She looked at the Crown Princess, "The selection of beautiful girls for the Lantern Festival had to be given up due to an accident. I heard that the Queen will hold another palace banquet in order to appease all the ladies. ”
The corner of Su Xinyi's mouth twitched. The Queen is so virtuous and generous, no wonder she has such a great reputation.
"It should be so, but has a date been set?"
"Not yet." Grandma She shook her head.
"No matter what day it is, I don't have to go. Just pay attention to the news from Wu'an Hou Mansion, and don't worry about anything else."
Aunt She agreed with a smile. Seeing that the Crown Princess had no other instructions, she turned around and left to mind her own business.
Su Xinyi's pregnancy belly is now very obvious, and she has a good appetite and good health now. Even if she is wearing loose palace clothes, her belly is already obvious.
She walked slowly in the palace, thinking about the current situation in her mind. King Yi had fallen, and her biggest worry was eliminated. Shang Junyan must be in a good mood like her at this moment.
Shang Junyan, who was slandered by Su Xinyi, was really in a bad mood at the moment.
He had not been clean this year, and he had indeed made great contributions to King Yi's affairs. However, as soon as he returned home, his mother and sister urged him to marry a wife quickly, which gave him a headache.
Today, he was blocked at home again.
Shang Yuqing has been having a bad year. It is a good thing that her brother has been promoted, but the quarrel between her and her husband is getting more and more serious. Now she does not want to stay at her husband's house, and runs to her mother's house when she can.
Seeing that her mother was anxious about her younger brother's marriage, she naturally joined her in persuading her. As a result, the two siblings started to quarrel.
"Everyone talks about getting married and establishing a career. Now that your career is going smoothly, you can't ignore your own important affairs. At least you should marry a wife first. Look at how worried your mother is about your affairs." Shang Yuqing looked at his younger brother and said angrily, "If you can't figure it out like this anymore, I'll let grandma and dad make the decision."
Shang Junyan sat there with a calm expression. This time he had narrowly escaped death in the granary case. It was also the first real cooperation between him and Su Yi. The more this happened, the more uncomfortable he felt.
In his previous life, Su Yi was not as prosperous as this one. His errand was taken over by his cousin early on. He had no relationship with Su Xinyi and was unwilling to interfere with the affairs of the Duke of Qi's palace. However, he also knew that Su Yi, the eldest son, was in ruins. Originally, he thought Su Yi was just a mediocre person. Only when a person has no merits would he be praised for his honesty and kindness.
Su Yi and Qi Guogong and his son are such people.
But, he knew now that this was not the case.
Now, he also knows that Luo Shaoden stole Su Yi's squad leader, and it was not Su Yi who made the mistake. He also knew that his mother's handwriting was behind Luo Shaodeng's actions.
There was a reason why Su Xinyi hated him so much when he first came back.
The longer he comes back and the more truth he knows, the more guilty, self-blame and uncomfortable he becomes.
He felt sorry for Su Xinyi and the Su family.
It was all because of him that they were targeted by Yan Qiongsi and gave King Yi the opportunity to plot against the Su family.
If he hadn't found out about King Yi's hand behind Su Yi's injury in this life, and if he hadn't known that Yan Qiongsi had joined forces with King Yi, he would have always thought that the Duke of Qi's downfall was due to his own failure.
Now I know.
Not really.
Shang Junyan listened to his sister's endless accusations and couldn't listen anymore. He stood up suddenly and looked up at her, "Sister, I'd better live your own life first, but my brother-in-law came to tell me that you don't respect my mother-in-law." Mother, if you continue to be disobedient and unfilial, if your brother-in-law divorces his wife, don't blame your younger brother for not standing up for you."
"...What?" Shang Yuqing was stunned, with a green and white look on his face. He couldn't believe that this was what his brother said.
When Shang Junyan becomes indifferent, his normally gentle facial features become sharp, and his eyes, which are always calm, are now dark, as if they are brewing something. Shang Yuqing's heart can't help but tremble, she knows My brother is telling the truth.
"Why are you like this? I am doing this for your own good. I am your sister. How can you still speak for others?"
"Is the brother-in-law someone else?" Shang Junyan said lightly, "When the marriage was decided, my sister was very happy."
Shang Yuqing was retorted, "What do you mean, are you blaming me for all the faults?"
"What are you two arguing about?" Princess Pingjing walked in with a frown, looking up at her son and daughter with a headache.
Shang Junyan wanted to question, but he couldn't, because Su Xinyi didn't marry him in this life.
He couldn't give her an explanation for the grievances and hardships she had suffered, and couldn't ask for justice.
Those things he thought were meaningless, now he experienced them himself, and he knew how suffocating they would be.
Shang Junyan would never marry in his life. He just thought that if a good girl from another family married, he would have to face a picky mother-in-law and a sister-in-law who always found faults. He had to keep an eye on the backyard at home all the time, and he couldn't live like this.
"I have no plans to get married. Mother and sister don't have to worry about me." Shang Junyan left after saying this.
The Princess of Pingjing County would never let her son run away like this. She grabbed him and stared at him with her eyes like knives. "What did you say? You don't want to marry? Do you want the Shang family to be extinct? Your grandmother and your father will not agree."
Shang Junyan looked at his mother. He knew that his mother loved him and was willing to do anything for him. It was because of the better she treated him that Su Xinyi had a harder life in her previous life.
"Mother, Dad is still young. You can have another child, or give Dad a few more concubines to give birth to a son. I won't hide it from you. I have escaped death several times in the granary case this time. I was injured and I am afraid that I can't pass on the family line. Why should I wrong other girls? Let's just leave it like this."
Shang Junyan knew that without a strong reason, his family would not let him go. He didn't want to marry and didn't want to delay other good girls, so he could only throw dirty water on himself and end it all.
Princess Pingjing's eyes went dark when she heard this, and she screamed in a shrill voice, "What did you say?"
Shang Yuqing was also stunned, looking at his brother in disbelief, "You lied to us, right?"
"This kind of thing concerns the dignity of men, who would joke about it?" Shang Junyan said with a cold face.
Shang Yuqing almost fell down, how could this happen?
"Let's find a doctor. I'll ask your father to send someone out to find a miracle doctor. He will definitely be able to cure it." Princess Pingjing grabbed her son's hand and cried.
"It's useless. I've seen it." Shang Junyan said with a cold face, "That's it. I'm sitting in the position of the Minister of Personnel now. I don't know how many people are watching me. If you find a doctor, sooner or later, the news will spread. I don't want to be this official."
As soon as these words came out, Princess Pingjing and her daughter were choked up instantly, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
Shang Junyan didn't look back again, and walked out directly.
As soon as he left, Princess Pingjing fell on the chair, and the whole person seemed to have aged ten years.
Shang Yuqing didn't bother to comfort her mother at this time. She just sat there and couldn't say a word for a long time.
If her brother is really injured and can't have children, what should she do in the future?
Thinking of this, Shang Yuqing looked at her mother and said, "Mom, you can't tell Dad and Grandmother about this. If they know, they will definitely ask Dad to have another child. If that's the case, what should we do? Should we let a concubine run wild over us?"
"You're right. You can't let your father know, and you can't let your grandmother know. Let's wait and see. Let's wait and see." Princess Pingjing County was thinking that the Guangping County Mansion had finally collapsed, and her son would not be criticized because of Yan Qiongsi in the future, and he would be able to live a good life in the future. As a result, such a thing happened now. How could she accept it?
She couldn't accept it.
Since she became the Princess of the County, her life has been smooth sailing. If she had to live under the eyes of a concubine in the future, it would be better to kill her.
"There must be a way. Let's think of other ways." Princess Pingjing County murmured. She would not accept it.
Shang Junyan left the house, not knowing where he was going for a moment. He also sent away the attendant behind him, and walked slowly along the street alone.
The cold wind blew on his face, but he didn't feel cold. He just felt that he could live a relaxed life after today.
Thinking of this, he looked up in the direction of the East Palace. Su Xinyi should be living a comfortable life now, right?
The first month of the year passed in a blink of an eye. After the second day of the second month, Xie Jinglue took his family back to Pingningwei. Fan Pengchi rushed back overnight after the matter was settled. Xie Jinglue, the commander, could not delay too long.
Su Xinyi got the news and went back to see him off.
Except for Su Jingmo, who was still in confinement, everyone else was there.
Jie Kun took Shi Yun to Su Xinyi and said goodbye, "Sixth aunt, we are leaving. We will come back to see you when we are free."
Su Xinyi smiled and patted Jie Kun's shoulder, "Study hard and practice martial arts when you go back. Aunt is waiting for you in the capital."
Before Jie Kun spoke, Shi Yun said in a baby voice, "I will help you keep an eye on your brother."
Jie Kun:...
Su Xinyi smiled and nodded, and the people around him also laughed.
Jie Kun wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. He looked at Shi Yun and said, "Okay, you keep an eye on me, and I will help you keep an eye on you. You must learn needlework, needlework, chess, calligraphy and painting well."
Shi Yun didn't know how hard it was to learn these things, so she agreed crisply.
Everyone laughed even more happily. Xie Xuan leaned out of her mother's arms and babbled, "Keep an eye on her, keep an eye on her."
The eldest lady was reluctant to let her daughter go, but she also knew that the young couple could not be separated, so she held back her tears and sent her daughter away.
Su Xixian followed Su Xinyi and said with some melancholy, "I don't know how many years it will take for me to see you again, big sister."
Su Xinyi nodded slightly. It was not easy. The commanders of various places were not allowed to come to Beijing without being summoned. Unless Su Baiwei brought her children back to visit her relatives, it would not be easy for the whole family to come back together.
Su Yi took his brothers to send his eldest sister and her family out of the city. They were always reluctant to leave, but they still had to say goodbye.
Xie Jinglue and his wife and children bid farewell to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, then helped his wife get on the carriage, sent the children on the carriage, and climbed on the horse himself.
Su Baiwei lifted the curtain of the carriage and said goodbye to everyone with red eyes. As the carriage went farther and farther, everyone returned to the mansion.
Zeng asked several sisters to stay for dinner before going back. Su Xinyi did not refuse. It was a good opportunity to talk with her family.
Since Su Xinyi did not leave, the others stayed too.
The fourth lady sat down with her daughter. After the two children left, she was the most disappointed. After all, she had been living with her for a while, and the lively courtyard became quiet again.
Su Xinyi looked at her mother's expression and said softly: "Mom, if you feel that being alone is too quiet, why not adopt a child..."
"Why do you have this idea? Did someone tell you something?" The fourth lady frowned.
"No, I'm just worried that you'll be too quiet alone."
"No, I've always been a quiet person." The Fourth Lady looked at her daughter, "Don't think too much, take good care of the baby, I have other plans."
Su Xinyi really wasn't like her mother in her previous life. Just as she was about to give her some more advice, she heard her mother say, "You are your father's child, so I am willing to treat you well, but I don't have the patience and kindness to treat other people's children. Let's not talk about this anymore. If you really want me to be more lively, wait until you give birth to the baby in the future, and bring the baby back to see me more often."
Su Xinyi sighed in her heart. Sure enough, it was the same as in her previous life. She hugged the Fourth Lady's arm and leaned her head on her shoulder. "Okay, after I give birth, how about you go to the East Palace to stay with me for a few days? This is my first child, and there are no elders to take care of me. I feel at ease with you."
The Fourth Lady was startled. She had never thought of going to the East Palace to accompany her daughter.
At this time, Su Xixian came over, looked at Xinyi and teased, "You are going to be a mother, but you are still clinging to Fourth Aunt. You are really shameless. Don't cling to Aunt, I just have something to tell you." Then he looked at Fourth Madam, "Fourth Aunt, I will borrow Sixth Sister for a while and return her to you later."
Everyone in the room was amused by Su Xixian. At this time, Su Chu stepped into the room and heard laughter. He didn't know what happened, so he looked at Xinyi and said, "Sixth Sister, my father wants you to come over and talk."
