"Hahaha!
Ruo 'er, we have another child! "Ever since he found out that his wife was already a month pregnant, Xue Li's laughing expression hadn't changed at all.
"Li — —" Fengruo glanced at her husband who was in an abnormally excited state with a complicated expression. She couldn't help but tug on his clothes and whisper: "Don't laugh so loudly." Almost the entire Blossom Town knew that she was pregnant.
"What does it matter!"
Xue Li shrugged disapprovingly and then carefully embraced Fengruo's body, "Come, come, come, don't keep standing. Didn't the girl say that your pregnancy isn't stable and you need to rest well?
Oh, it must be because the carriage jolted you on the way here.
If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have listened to you. You're actually running all the way here when you're pregnant.
What are we going to do when we get back?
It'll take at least ten days on the road. "Xue Li couldn't help but frown when he thought about how they still had to return to the Blood Hades after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Husband!"
Fengruo glanced at Xue Li in amusement, "Jingzhi only said that I need to rest these few days. It doesn't mean that my body is weak.
Also, don't make so much noise. If others hear it, they'll laugh at me. "
Perhaps it was because she was pregnant for the first time in twenty years, but she did feel a bit tired recently. She thought it was because she sat in the carriage for too long, but she didn't expect that she was pregnant.
She was already forty years old, but she was still giving birth to a child. If this got out, it would be very embarrassing.
"Who dares!"
Xue Li glared and his expression darkened, "The great Mother of the Blood Hades is pregnant with a dragon child. Who dares to gossip!"
"I'm just making a metaphor.
Why are you so fierce! "
Fengruo helplessly glanced at him and shook off his support in a bit of a huff. She walked towards the bedroom on her own.
"I'm not fierce … Okay, okay, I'm just happy.
I didn't think that I would have a child in my lifetime.
Be careful, now that you're pregnant … "
"Child, child!
Since you want a child so much, you can learn from your father and take in a few more concubines … "
"Ruo Er!"
Xue Li stopped Fengruo from blurting out in anger. "We've been husband and wife for so many years. Don't you know what kind of person I am?
Any kind of joke can be made, but this kind of thing cannot be said casually. "
"I'm sorry.
Li, it was a slip of the tongue.
I didn't mean to mention it … "Looking at Xue Li's serious expression, Fengruo knew that her words just now had hurt him.
Just as Xue Li had said, they had been married for many years and had gone through a lot.
Naturally, he knew that he had always used his father's example as a warning.
The most direct consequence of having too many concubines in the harem was to endanger the stability and peace of the Blood Hades Imperial Family.
Therefore, even if his son had been stolen by evil people, his life and death unknown for more than twenty years, even if he had messed up his reproductive function because he missed Zhan Er day and night and hadn't given birth to another dragon child for him in all these years, he had never mentioned taking in concubines to continue the imperial bloodline.
It was because he was afraid that one day, if his son was still alive, his half-brother would end up like him and Xue Ying and fight for the throne. Blood Underworld Imperial Palace would once again be plunged into a bloodbath.
In other words, the incident with Blood Eagle had made Xue Li give up on the idea of having a harem full of Blood Hades.
How could she not know that her pregnancy would make Xue Li so happy?
How could she say such ironic words to provoke him!
She really deserved to die!
"I know." Seeing his wife blame herself so much, Xue Li couldn't say any more harsh words to add to her pain.
He sighed lightly and hugged Fengruo tightly. "Ruo Er, when we were married, I said that I would only have you as my wife in this life.
I didn't just say it casually.
Imperial Father's women are as numerous as carps crossing the river. Not only did I not envy him, on the contrary, I also hope to burn his harem clean.
Listen to me! "
Xue Li gently covered Fengruo's mouth, blocking the comforting words she wanted to say. He slowly said the words in his heart: "As for children.
When Zhan Er was born, I didn't intend to let you have another child. Zhan Er alone is enough.
If you have more, you won't necessarily be happy.
However, just as he turned one, he was taken out of the palace by Blood Swallow. Although I haven't given up looking for him in these twenty-four years.
I also know that the chances of finding him are very slim.
So, I let the imperial physician treat you, hoping that you can continue the bloodline.
But … I know that Zhan Er's disappearance made you heartbroken. You stubbornly believe that it was your negligence that allowed Blood Swallow to succeed.
So, even after twenty years, you still can't walk out of this knot in your heart.
Imperial Physician Liang is right. If the knot in your heart is not removed, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get pregnant again.
At that time, I thought that it's fine if I don't have children. At worst, I can just go to the clan and find an outstanding child to inherit the throne. So, since then, I no longer looked for the imperial physician to treat your pulse.
I no longer forced it.
But even so, Ruo Er, I have never wanted to take a concubine.
If there is any deceit, I, Xue Li, am willing to be struck by lightning … "The last four words were forcefully blocked by Feng Ruo 'er's sudden outstretched right hand. Her tear-stained smile caused his sudden sadness to be completely annihilated.
"I understand.
How can I not understand? "She murmured.
It was because of this that she felt even more guilty.
"That's good.
It's good to say it clearly today, so that you won't always doubt my sincerity.
Ruo Er, didn't you notice?
Starting from my generation, the vampires are all infatuated men. "Xue Li stole a glance at the bamboo bush not far behind him.
The figure that didn't conceal it but didn't rush to interrupt the husband and wife talking to each other. Under the quiet noon sun, there was less rejection and more tolerance.
He should have heard everything.
After listening to his father's confession and explanation, as a son, no matter how bad, he will call him father and Ruo Er mother, right?
After all, they really didn't give up on him in these 24 years.
Not even for a moment.
Hugging his wife, he deliberately sat on the wooden chair in front of the bamboo garden's door. He quietly waited for a long time, and then stole a glance. Huh?
That cyan figure was already gone.
Damn it, he was checkmated by his son again!
… …
"… In short, you just need to rest well. In any case, your valiant husband will take care of the other courtyard's matters. The twins will be carefully protected by Situ Yun and Mama Liang. You ah, don't worry too much."
After taking Su Shuiche's pulse, she prescribed a few Chinese medicine recipes to prevent miscarriage and nourish the body. "Here, you two take good care of your miscarriage.
I'll come see you again next month.
Alas, it's much more difficult to open an ancient medical center than I thought. "
"What's wrong?
Is it not to your liking? "
Su Shuiche put away the recipes and poured hot tea into their cups. She also moved the pastries and pancakes that Xin Lan had brought in earlier in front of Yang Jingzhi.
"You've been busy all morning. Eat something to fill your stomach."
"It's not a matter of liking or not, it's just … Sigh, it's really difficult for a woman to make a career in this era.
That's why I really admire the Yingyun sisters. "
Yang Jingzhi drank a mouthful of hot tea and tossed a piece of taro cake into his mouth to taste it carefully. Hmm, the cooking skills of the cooks and maids from the Prince Jing Palace were really good.
"Yes, but eldest sister … it's also hard on you." Su Shuiche couldn't help but sigh when she thought of Jiang Yingyue, who had bowed to the Embroidery House.
"It's also good to meet a man who's not pleasing to the eye." Yang Jingzhi didn't agree.
She had also thought about it. If … it wasn't for him … she wouldn't have the spirit to get married.
There was nothing wrong with being single for a lifetime.
She had already gotten used to the gossip of those gossips going in one ear and out the other.
"Okay, I should go back. There are still many villagers waiting for me in the ancestral hall."
"No need. Why don't you go back after lunch?
I've already asked Xin Lan to go to the kitchen and tell them to prepare your favorite prawns and crabs for lunch. "Su Shuiche saw Yang Jingzhi finish his tea and get up, so she hurriedly urged him to stay.
"No, there are still many villagers waiting in the ancestral hall.
You know how impatient your husband is. He didn't even have time to say anything before asking me to bring the medicine box over.
He was afraid that Qing Lan wouldn't be able to handle it alone.
Well … prawns and crabs are my favorite. Can you ask Situ to send them to me? "
"Ha … no problem.
I'll fill two big food boxes and ask him to send them over. "Su Shuiche nodded with a smile. Since the infirmary was so busy, she didn't force him to stay.
After all, he was kidnapped by her husband during work.
After sending off Yang Jingzhi, he returned to the central room.
"Eh?
You're back so soon? "Su Shuiche blinked in confusion. Could it be that … he didn't go?
She saw that Lin Siyao, who she had persuaded to go to the Bamboo Garden to congratulate them, was now sitting at the table and drinking tea.
She couldn't help but guess.
"I went.
How do you feel?
The doctor didn't say anything, right?
You're pregnant, yet you still dare to run around … "Lin Siyao put down the cup in his hand and pulled her into his arms.
"What else can he say?"
Su Shuiche thought of this and couldn't help but glare at him. Unfortunately, her eyes moved slightly and were more gentle than complaining. It had no effect on him at all.
"Long 'er and Xiao' er aren't even one year old yet and I'm pregnant again. You … you'll make me unable to raise my head!" She couldn't help but complain with a pout.
One child a year. Oh, he really thought she was a sow.
"What are you afraid of!
With … with Mother in front of you, everyone will only pay attention to her. "Lin Siyao smiled and hugged her, letting her sit on his lap as he softly comforted her.
It was just that when he mentioned Fengruo's name, he was more or less uncomfortable.
"Eh?
Ah Yao? "She didn't hear wrong, did she?
This man really called her mother-in-law?
Su Shuiche raised her head in surprise.
"Did I hear wrong?"
He tilted his head and was a bit embarrassed to meet her eyes. At the same time, he secretly controlled the heat in his ears and cheeks so that this little woman wouldn't see his embarrassment.
"No, no!" Su Shuiche heard this and shook her head.
What a joke. It wasn't easy to hear him speak, so she couldn't let him back down.
She quickly changed the topic. "Ah Yao, I want to write a letter to Father and tell them this good news."
"En." He nodded in response.
At the same time, he was secretly relieved.
It was fine as long as she didn't continue to ask about his changes.
Although he had already let go of the knot in his heart when he was in Qiyun Town.
It was just that he hadn't called "Father" and "Mother" in twenty-four years. These two words were extremely unfamiliar to him, so he couldn't say them out loud.
Was this an opportunity?
His mother and wife were both pregnant. Even if he acknowledged them, there would be one less reason to go to the Blood Hades.
