Chapter 83 Shen Tang is Pregnant

Shen Tang didn't immediately understand what Meng Huaiyan meant by asking her to come.

Seeing her dazed, Meng Huaiyan smiled knowingly and whispered in her ear, "You're on top, you move."

Shen Tang was stunned for a second, then blushed instantly when she realized what was happening. She didn't care whether he was hurt or not, and pushed him away forcefully, then sat up.

"You...how could you be so lewd!"

When Meng Huaiyan is in bed, he is completely different from his cold, serious, and calm demeanor during the day. He always says things that make people blush and their hearts race.

Sometimes he would even deliberately make her cry, and the more she cried, the more excited he became.

He's really getting more and more outrageous these days.

She couldn't understand how he could say such vulgar and obscene things so naturally.

Shen Tang really didn't want to talk to him at all right now, so she hugged the blanket and shrank to the foot of the bed.

How could Meng Huaiyan let her go so easily? He rolled over and trapped her beneath him, burying his head in his neck and gently nuzzling her.

"Tang'er, I feel terrible, please help me..."

(Lights out, details omitted.)

During the period when Meng Huaiyan was injured, his official duties piled up, and he had been leaving early and returning late these past few days, so he didn't have much time to bother Chen Tang.

Shen Tang had a few rare days of relaxation.

She still couldn't leave the courtyard, but Meng Huaiyan no longer chained her up.

Neither of them brought up their previous sordid incident again, and they tacitly achieved that delicate balance once more.

That day, Shen Tang had just finished lunch when her aunt came to find her.

When Meng Huaiyan was first injured, everyone from the Duke's mansion came to visit him. Afterwards, the Eldest Princess refused further visits, citing illness and the need for rest.

Meng Huaiyan was so badly injured this time that there were many different opinions among the people in the manor about the cause of his injury.

When Madam Shen went to visit Meng Huaiyan that day, she noticed the clear and terrifying handprint on Shen Tang's face as soon as she entered the door.

There were too many people that day, and although she was worried, she couldn't find a suitable opportunity to ask.

Now that Meng Huaiyan has recovered from her illness, Madam Shen was originally unwilling to interfere too much in their intimate affairs, but she still couldn't help but worry.

I decided to come and ask today anyway.

When Shen Tang heard her aunt's question, she remained silent for a moment without answering, and Madam Shen did not urge her.

After a long while, Shen Tang finally spoke and told his aunt everything that had happened recently.

Upon hearing this, Madam Shen was so frightened that her face turned deathly pale, and she trembled as she spoke.

"How could this young master... how could he be so extreme?! This is a matter of life and death!"

Indeed, Shen Tang never expected him to be so extreme, and she still feels lingering fear when she thinks about it now.

The aunt and niece remained silent for a moment.

After a moment, Madam Shen finally spoke: "What is the current situation between you and the Crown Prince?"

Shen Tang replied, "Nothing's wrong. We're just maintaining a facade of peace and getting by."

Upon hearing this, Madam Shen sighed, wondering to herself how the two of them had ended up like this.

If the Crown Prince had realized his own feelings sooner, none of these troubles would have occurred.

They clearly had feelings for each other, but now they've become a pair of resentful lovers.

A woman's life is inherently difficult and adrift. At home, she obeys her father; after marriage, she obeys her husband; and after her husband's death, she obeys her son. She rarely has a time to make her own decisions.

Shen Tang has already married the Crown Prince and will spend the rest of her life with him. Stubbornly resisting won't change any facts, and in the end, she will only suffer herself.

Life is lived whether you're happy or sad.

As an elder, Madam Shen was more than ten years older than her. She had seen and witnessed many women in the inner quarters who, due to their unsuccessful marriages, eventually died of depression and illness in this square courtyard.

She didn't want Shen Tang to end up in such a situation.

Given Meng Huaiyan's obsessive and mad nature, it's absolutely impossible for him to let go.

Now, all Shen could do was try to comfort Shen Tang and encourage her to think more positively.

After her aunt left, Shen Tang sat in the chair for a long time without saying a word.

My mind was filled with my aunt's words of comfort, telling me to let go of myself and stop fighting against myself.

Since you can't escape it, you should let go of your resentment and live your life properly.

Her aunt's advice was correct, but she still couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart.

Shen Tang stared blankly out the window. This was the first time since her rebirth that she had felt so lost and helpless about the future.

Should she compromise?

Is she just going to accept her fate like this?

But what can she do if she doesn't accept her fate?

She was completely at a loss about what to do with Meng Huaiyan. Whenever she had the thought of escaping, all she could think about was the image of Meng Huaiyan holding her hand and stabbing her in the heart.

Just thinking about it makes her feel scared and trembling.

Shen Tang unconsciously rubbed her hands vigorously on her clothes, as if she could completely erase the warm, sticky feeling from her heart.

What should she do then?

Days passed by like flowing water. One day, while having lunch, Shen Tang suddenly couldn't help but gag.

Qiao'er immediately felt a sense of urgency and ordered someone to fetch a doctor. She also sent someone to the Censorate to inform the young master.

The doctor had just arrived when Meng Huaiyan arrived, looking excited.

Seeing the expectation and eagerness in her eyes, Shen Tang couldn't bear his gaze and turned away.

Shen Tang's period was several days late, and what's more, she hadn't taken any contraceptive medication during this time. When Shen Tang was nauseous at noon, she had actually expected it.

So when the doctor told Meng Huaiyan with a joyful expression, "Your wife is pregnant," she wasn't too surprised.

When Meng Huaiyan heard the doctor say it was a pregnancy pulse, he froze for a moment, then immediately grabbed the doctor excitedly and asked, "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake? Are you sure it's a pregnancy pulse?"

That doctor was a veteran with decades of experience. While his medical skills might not be top-notch, his reputation in the capital was second to none.

He was slightly displeased with Meng Huaiyan's questioning of his medical skills, but he couldn't afford to offend these important people, so he patiently said, "I have been practicing medicine for decades, and I am certain that I will not misdiagnose this simple pregnancy pulse."

Upon hearing the doctor's confident words, Meng Huaiyan couldn't hide his smile and stepped forward to hug Shen Tang tightly: "Tang'er, Tang'er, did you hear that?"

"The doctor said you're pregnant! We're having a baby!"

Shen Tang's feelings were somewhat complicated. She slightly tugged at the corner of her mouth but did not speak.

Upon hearing the news, the servants inside the room beamed with joy and exclaimed, "Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness's Consort!"

Meng Huaiyan hadn't been this happy in a long time, and he couldn't contain his excitement and joy.

He waved his hand and said to Qiao'er, "Go to the storeroom and get three hundred taels of silver for the doctor."

"Give each servant in the courtyard a reward of fifty taels of silver, let's all be happy!"
