Chapter 64 When angry, he turns his back on people...

Since marrying Chi Zhao, Shen Yan'an has exuded an aura of happiness and contentment.

In public, he liked to hear his wife call him An'er, but in private, when it was just the two of them, he preferred to hear his wife call him Yanzhou.

This was a name his wife personally gave him, and he loved it.

The young boy was used to clinging to his wife, and the two could never be apart for even a moment.

Whenever Chi Zhao went to court, even though he was still asleep, he would always manage to wait outside the palace gates when Chi Zhao finished court, greet his mother and sister, and then take his beloved away in front of them.

Prince Qing and his daughter found this outrageous!

The two of them not only have to deal with their own work every day, but also have to handle Chi Zhao's work in addition!

This is because her son and younger brother want to get closer to their sweethearts, and they always ask them to make things a little harder for them.

How infuriating! Just because you two are a married couple doesn't mean other people don't need to keep you company.

But he could only think these things in his heart and would never dare to say them out loud.

Finally, An'er has become a bit more well-behaved. Look, since she got married, she hasn't caused any trouble. Her colleagues who came to her door demanding explanations are gone, so let them do as much work as they want.

Chi Zhao was picked up by her husband as soon as the morning court session ended. Shen Yan'an happily took his wife's hand and said sweetly in the carriage, "How about we eat out and then go home? I want to be with you~"

Her husband was clingy, so she naturally didn't disagree and nodded seriously, "Mm."

Shen Yan'an was finally relieved.

He took medicine before coming out, determined to give his wife a daughter this time.

The two ate breakfast and lunch outside before returning home.

Shen Yan had prepared some light and thin clothes, but they couldn't cover anything. Her snow-white body peeked out from under the clothes, as did her crimson one, making her very beautiful and eye-catching.

Chi Zhao's breath hitched for a moment, then he felt much better!

My sweet and tender little husband!

No one cared that it was daytime; they only had eyes for each other.

"Hmm... Mistress"

Her rosy lips were kissed, and strange sensations tingled in other parts of her body.

The boy lay drowsily in his beloved's arms, and after a long, long time, he finally drifted off to sleep, his head tilted to the side.

Chi Zhao called for water and washed the two of them before lying down with him to rest.

From that day on, Shen Yan'an became even more anxious, wishing he could find ten or eight doctors a day to check whether he was pregnant or not.

I have been married to my wife for a year now.

The sons who married around the same time as him are both about to give birth!

But there's still no movement from his side.

He was extremely anxious.

Whenever he spoke to his wife, he was afraid that she would suggest taking a concubine.

After a year of marriage without bearing a child, it's normal for the wife to want to take a concubine; anyone who hears this will only say that the wife did the right thing.

but……

However, he did not want anyone to share his wife with him.

He selfishly wanted to possess such a wonderful wife.

Chi Zhao was unaware that her husband was harboring a multitude of chaotic thoughts. Every day after court, if she was on duty, she would go home after her shift; otherwise, she would return home immediately.

She knew that her husband was very sensitive and thoughtful in every aspect of life, but she thought that having her by his side would make things a little better.

Who knew that Yan'an was always thinking about random things, and then he would worry himself so much that he couldn't eat.

Of course, he would force himself to eat even if he couldn't, since he had been in poor health since childhood. The doctor had told him to take good care of himself, and his father had specially sent a cook to prepare medicinal meals for him.

Chi Zhao had no idea what her husband had done for the family, only that he seemed to be in a bad mood lately.

Therefore, she specially bought pastries to coax her husband when she finished her job.

Shen Yan'an received news today that his wife would be returning late, so he did not go to pick her up. He also took this opportunity to go back to the Prince Qing's residence to see the imperial physician.

Chi Zhao returned early with pastries, only to find them empty.

There was no one at home, but there was a servant who seemed to be in charge of the courtyard. He was good-looking and must have been brought by An'er, as he always liked things that looked nice.

A servant approached her with a smile, saying, "The young lady has returned to the Prince Qing's residence today. Please forgive her, Master."

Hearing that someone had returned home, Chi Zhao asked, "Will your master be coming back?"

"I don't know, the prince has never told me."

"oh."

Chi Zhao sat on the soft couch, hesitating whether to go to her parents-in-law's house to see her husband and pick him up on the way back. But the servant spoke up again, his eyes lowered and his tone concerned, "Master, you must be tired. It's so hard to come back. Let me help you change into some comfortable clothes."

She was wearing a slightly heavy court robe; she would definitely be more comfortable changing into something else.

So he nodded and told the servant to go and get the clothes.

The servant, accustomed to serving Shen Yan'an, brought over clean clothes and was about to help Chi Zhao change. Chi Zhao instinctively leaned back, momentarily stunned, and frowned slightly, "No need, I can do it myself."

The servant was taken aback. Usually, these were all from the county, so he didn't know that the head of the family didn't like others to do things.

Rejected, Chi Zhao could only curl her fingers and stand aside while she went behind the screen to change her clothes.

As soon as she came out, the servant secretly glanced at her and noticed that her collar was not quite straight. He quickly went over and smiled as he straightened it for his mistress.

“You rarely do such rough work; you should let me do it.”

The other party was Yan An's servant, whom he had never paid attention to before, but today he felt quite uncomfortable. Chi Zhao frowned, and before he could wave his hand to refuse, another surprised and incredulous voice rang out in the room, "Ah—what are you doing!"

Chi Zhao looked up and saw that her husband had returned. Her tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly. "Yan'an."

Shen Yan'an shook off the servant's hand that was carefully supporting him, his eyes widened, and he was panting heavily with anger. His outstretched fingers were trembling. "You, you... while I was away, you!"

Before he could finish speaking, while Chi Zhao was still in a daze, Shen Yan'an suddenly went limp and fainted.

This time, Chi Zhao was so frightened that his face changed drastically. He instinctively rushed over and hugged the person in his arms to prevent him from falling to the ground. Then he shouted repeatedly, "Hurry up and go and fetch a doctor! Go to the Prince Qing's residence and invite the imperial physician!"

The imperial physician routinely cared for Shen Yan'an's health and knew his medical records better than anyone else, so he could also tell why the prince had suddenly fainted.

One of the two attendants hurriedly left.

The remaining servant, seeing Chi Zhao kneel down upon seeing the princess and his pale face, looked displeased and, disregarding rank, angrily rebuked, "How could the head of the family treat our princess like this!"

Chi Zhao hurriedly carried her husband to the bed. Hearing this, she was stunned. She silently hugged her husband's slender and thin body tightly, burying him in her arms. She glanced at him sideways, puzzled, and asked, "What did I do to your daughter?"

She was perfectly fine. After finishing her shift, she would buy pastries to appease her husband. She didn't even go drinking with her colleagues. All she wanted to do was stay with her sensitive and thoughtful husband. So what did she do?

The servant looked at the person kneeling on the ground, too afraid to get up, and felt even more sorry for the princess. He was the princess's personal servant. Although he was unwilling to die for her, he had developed some affection for her over time. He took care of the princess's health and personally brewed the bitter medicine for her. He watched helplessly as the princess went through so much trouble to give birth to Chi Zhao's daughter, while Chi Zhao took advantage of the princess's absence to be intimate with her servant. He truly felt wronged for the princess!

"Hmph, you know what you've done."

Chi Zhao:?

Do I have absolutely no standing in this family?

"If you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll have someone send you back to Prince Qing's residence. I doubt An'er will be angry with me then."

She felt completely bewildered, so she said calmly. The servant's expression changed, and he opened his mouth, but then he became quiet and didn't even dare to glare at Chi Zhao. He knew that with his princess's love-struck nature, she really wouldn't be angry with him.

Well, that...

The Chi family went to Prince Qing's residence to fetch the imperial physician, which startled Prince Qing, who happened to be at home. Prince Qing looked surprised and asked, "What's going on? Why are you calling for the imperial physician again after just returning home? Is An'er unwell?"

After being embellished by his former servants, Chi Zhao was given the cold shoulder by his father-in-law, who rushed over in haste.

...

The old imperial physician, her hands trembling, took Shen Yan'an's pulse. She was familiar with the princess's body and quickly knew whether there was anything wrong.

The imperial physician withdrew his hand, bowed, and said, "The princess fainted due to anger and weakness, and her body has been frail recently. I will give her a few acupuncture needles, and she will wake up soon."

"What?! I need to get acupuncture too?"

Chi Zhao's face was pale. She paced back and forth in the room with worry, ignoring her father-in-law who was glaring at her. She asked anxiously, "Why did you suddenly get so angry? Father-in-law, did An'er encounter something at the Prince Qing's mansion?"

Prince Qing: ...

He was incredulous and was about to point out Chi Zhao's mistake when Chi Zhao turned around and questioned him in a blaming tone.

"Hmph, I should be asking you that. An'er was perfectly fine when she was at Prince Qing's residence, and she even said she had good news for you. But she fainted as soon as she came back. You, Chi Zhao, swore you would treat An'er well before you married her, and it's only been a year! Even if An'er is childless, you shouldn't have touched her servants! This is simply humiliating An'er! What did our An'er do wrong that you don't pity her at all!"

Chi Zhao stared in shock, "When did I touch his servant? I haven't even memorized his face yet, Father-in-law, don't spout nonsense!"

No sooner had these words been spoken than there was movement on the bed. For a moment, the two of them forgot about their argument and looked at the weak Shen Yan'an on the bed with concern.

The doctor had already administered acupuncture to him. Each needle, gleaming with a cold light, pierced her husband's body as if it were piercing her heart, causing her immense pain.

"An'er, An'er?"

Wang Jun called out to his son urgently.

After the imperial physician removed the needles from her hand, Chi Zhao nervously grasped one of Shen Yan'an's slender and long hands and pressed it against her face.

When Shen Yan'an woke up, he saw his wife and father looking at him with concern.

His thick eyelashes trembled as he looked at his wife. He instinctively wanted to stick to her, but then the image of her pressed tightly against the man next to her flashed through his mind. So he pursed his lips, turned around with difficulty, and turned his back to the two of them.

Pregnant men are already emotionally unstable, let alone when they are provoked by the intimate behavior between their wives and the other woman. They feel endless resentment and all the good mood they had when they first learned they were pregnant is gone.

I'm newly pregnant, and my wife is already taking a concubine. What am I going to do? What will happen to our child?

Chi Zhao bastard.
