Chapter 29 He's failing

Huo Yunzhan was puzzled: "How am I heartless? If I can get the position of Grand Master of the Palace, you will be proud of yourself when you go out."

“You are already married. Now people call you Lady Yongning, not Miss of the Prime Minister’s Mansion.”

"Everything about your father has little to do with you anymore. Even if the Prime Minister's mansion is implicated because of this, you are a married woman and it won't affect you."

"You and I are husband and wife, one body; our relationship is truly one of shared prosperity and shared loss!"

Liu Ruolan remained silent for a long time before letting out a sneer: "It's true that we are husband and wife now, but how can I know if things will change in the future?"

"What if you change your mind after you become the Grand Steward?"

Her gaze was icy: "After all, haven't you already fallen for Shen Qingci? You're probably planning to take her into your room once she calms down a bit, aren't you?"

Huo Yunzhan was greatly alarmed. Was his behavior really that obvious?

How did Liu Ruolan find out?

Huo Yunzhan suppressed the turmoil in his heart and took a deep breath: "What are you talking about? How could I? I... I just felt sorry for her because she had lost her husband."

"Besides, she is my sister-in-law. Before Yun Zhan passed away, she was the one he was most worried about. As Yun Zhan's elder brother, what's wrong with me taking care of his wife for him?"

He said this, but he felt extremely guilty inside, and hurriedly said, "I can't guarantee you anything about the future, after all, things are unpredictable."

"But the only thing I can promise is that as long as... as long as nothing major happens, your position as the Marquis's wife will be very secure."

"And my eldest son can only be born to you."

"If you're really worried about all that stuff, why not try to get pregnant as soon as possible? Once you give birth, you won't have these worries anymore."

Liu Ruolan gritted her teeth but did not expose Huo Yunzhan's words.

She couldn't directly expose Huo Yunzhan's identity. If she pretended not to know Huo Yunzhan's identity, there would still be a layer of uncle-sister relationship between Huo Yunzhan and Shen Qingci.

But if she exposes it... then things might be different.

Moreover, there is some truth to what Huo Yunzhan said.

Now that Shen Qingci and Na Yueniang are both pregnant, if she could have gotten pregnant earlier and given birth to Huo Yunzhan's eldest son, everything would have been different.

Can……

"Is it up to me whether I get pregnant or not? Is it that I don't want to get pregnant?"

"But I've been married to you for over a year and I still haven't been able to conceive!"

Huo Yunzhan pursed his lips: "Anyway, I have no problem. I'll have a child sooner or later."

After all, both Shen Qingci and Na Yueniang had been pregnant with his children, so he must be able to get pregnant.

He has been very diligent lately, and his sexual relations with Liu Ruolan have been frequent. If he still can't get pregnant, then he will probably have to find someone to check Liu Ruolan's health.

Liu Ruolan and he were thinking the same thing.

Liu Ruolan's eyelashes trembled. For the time being, Huo Yunzhan belonged to her alone.

Although Huo Yunzhan's ambitions were most likely for her father's power.

But as long as her father is alright for the time being, Huo Yunzhan wouldn't dare to truly betray her.

However, the situation is too dangerous now, and she really needs to make plans as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Liu Ruolan immediately reached out and took Huo Yunzhan's arm: "Then what are we waiting for? Since we both want to have a child as soon as possible, a child of our own, why don't we hurry back and make a baby?"

Wanqing couldn't help but stomp her foot lightly. Those two scumbags and bitches were just too shameless.

Weren't they arguing? How did their argument turn into a full-blown plan to go back and make love?

Wan Qing cautiously glanced at Shen Qingci's expression, only to find that Shen Qingci's expression was extremely calm.

"Miss……"

Wanqing glanced back at the two people walking away hand in hand, making sure they couldn't hear her anymore, before lowering her voice: "Shall we go back?"

Shen Qingci shook her head: "No, I won't go back."

Her eyes shone with an alarming intensity: "Didn't you hear what they were planning to do back there?"

Wan Qing was taken aback, her voice slightly hoarse: "I...I heard it. I'm going back to make babies."

Shen Qingci nodded, a cold smile playing on her lips: "During the day, I gave Huo Yunzhan the drug that would make him unable to get up again, and Huo Yunzhan drank it."

"Isn't now the perfect time... to test the efficacy of that medicine?"

"Of course I couldn't miss such an opportunity."

"I have to follow them and go around to the back of their house to listen."

Wanqing had forgotten about this, but... she was really worried that Shen Qingci would be reminded of the past.

After all, it was on the night Huo Yunzhan escorted the coffin back that Shen Qingci went to the main courtyard to eavesdrop and overheard Huo Yunzhan and Liu Ruolan shamelessly engaging in their intimate acts. It was then that she felt despair and drank the abortion pill.

Shen Qingci seemed to know what Wanqing was thinking: "Don't worry, this time is different from the last time."

"I'm here to test the results of my revenge."

"I would only feel exhilarated, so how could I possibly be sad?"

"Besides, I had already given up on Huo Yunzhan long ago."

"Let's go, I need to see how effective the medicine is."

Having made up her mind, Shen Qingci led Wanqing quietly around to the back of the main courtyard.

Inside the room, Liu Ruolan seemed impatient.

"Come on, I've already taken my clothes off."

"Come in."

"Wait, bring me that jade pillow first and place it under me. After we're done, I'll stay in this position for now and take a bath later."

"They said that doing this would increase the chances of getting pregnant."

Hearing Liu Ruolan's reckless words, Wanqing couldn't help but glance at Shen Qingci again, only to see Shen Qingci with his head down, seemingly lost in thought.

The room was quiet for a moment, then Liu Ruolan's disgruntled voice suddenly rang out: "What are you doing? Why aren't you coming over?"

Shen Qingci lowered her head and exchanged a glance with Wan Qing.

The drug they obtained and administered to Huo Yunzhan was likely taking effect.

The reason why Huo Yunzhan has not been able to make love with Liu Ruolan for so long is probably because... he simply can't get it up; he's impotent.

Sure enough, Huo Yunzhan's slightly flustered voice soon rang out from inside the room: "How about we call it a day tonight?"

"I... so much has happened during the day, I'm really tired tonight."

Liu Ruolan immediately became dissatisfied: "What do you mean you're tired? Didn't you say that the most important thing for us is to have a child as soon as possible?"

"I've been so cooperative, yet you're tired?"

Perhaps because he felt guilty, Huo Yunzhan's voice was a little weak: "Well... there's no rush to do it tonight."

"I am too tired. If I force myself to do something, I'm afraid it will be difficult to satisfy you."

"Furthermore, pregnancy is something that should happen naturally; it cannot be forced."

"Our feelings for each other are deep, and when our love is strong, it's easiest to conceive. Trying too hard will only make it more difficult."

"Let's call it a night. I'm so tired, I can barely keep my eyes open. Let's go to sleep."
