Chapter 322 Zhao Family Affairs

Zhao Xuan still doesn't know what Gao Wanxin is thinking.

In the second month of the same year, Zhao Lingxi entered the palace as a selected palace maid. She could only come back if she failed. She was the legitimate daughter of the Zhao family, and she was afraid that she would have no chance to come back after entering the palace this time.

The old lady of the Zhao family was very reluctant to let her go when she entered the palace. Not to mention the old lady Zhao, even Zhao Xuan was reluctant to let her go.

Except for the first month after their wedding, Zhao Xuan came back every day. For a long time afterwards, Zhao Xuan came back very late. In addition, Gao Wanxin was already pregnant, so it was not very convenient for her to take care of Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan reduced the number of times he slept with her.

On the day Zhao Lingxi entered the palace, Gao Wanxin also went with the old lady to take a look. Perhaps because Zhao Lingxi was leaving the Zhao family, the old lady was reluctant to let him go. She looked at everyone with a bad face, and even had a cold face when she saw Gao Wanxin.

After seeing Zhao Lingxi off, Gao Wanxin returned to the main courtyard.

Yier can already walk and is running around the yard. Gao Wanxin will watch him personally. When she is sitting in the yard watching the child, she hears noisy sounds coming from outside.

Before Gao Wanxin got up to take a look, she saw Yu'er coming in from outside.

"This young lady is really something. Does she really dislike the little lady just because she's a girl? The child is crying like that, and she doesn't even bother to take a look."

Listen to the moon's complaining voice.

Gao Wanxin frowned, "What's going on?"

"Madam, why did you come out?" Yu'er hurried forward to support her. "It was the young lady's wet nurse. She took the young lady for a walk outside. The young lady kept crying. I don't know what's wrong, and she didn't say anything to comfort her."

"Why is no one in charge?" Gao Wanxin asked.

"Maybe it's because the young lady is a girl, and the master and the old lady are busy, so no one cares about her. This young master..."

Yu'er spoke hesitantly.

"What happened, Master?"

"The young master has a prostitute outside. I heard about it from the doorwoman's conversation. I guess the young mistress is angry and took it out on the child."

Gao Wanxin already has a child, and she can't bear to see her child suffer.

Besides, according to seniority, the child also calls her grandma.

It's just that this name is a bit funny.

Gao Wanxin got up and walked outside. She saw that the wet nurse was gone, but she could still hear the baby crying from a distance.

Gao Wanxin felt a pang of anxiety and a bit uncomfortable after hearing this.

Yu'er stepped forward and said, "Madam, you must not interfere in this matter. The Young Master and the Young Madam already have a problem with you. If you interfere in taking care of their children, it will be even worse for you if they find out..."

"But I can't bear to see that child suffer like this all the time."

Gao Wanxin sighed and said, "I'll talk to the adults about this later."

Now that Zhao Lingxi has entered the palace and left the Zhao family, the only ones left in the Zhao family are the most honorable old lady, followed by Zhao Xuan, then Zhao Chengliang and Zhang, as well as her and Yier.

By the way, there are also Zhao Xuan’s concubines.

The second and third concubines were considered people of relatively high status, after all, they were the women who had been with Zhao Xuan for more than ten years.

The second concubine has a concubine's daughter who is old enough and needs to find a husband from a good family. However, the girl is lame, so it is impossible for her to marry into a wealthy family.

As for the third concubine, she has a daughter who is only ten years old this year and not considered old. If she wants to discuss marriage, she will have to wait three or four years.

Gao Wanxin never knew that being Zhao Xuan's wife would be so difficult.

When she was having dinner that night, Zhao Xuan didn't come back, and she had already fallen asleep before she heard the maids talking outside.

I heard the voice that it was Zhao Xuan who came back.

Gao Wanxin cheered herself up, stood up and put on her clothes.

"But the Lord is back?"

"I'm back." Zhao Xuan said, and went into the house. "I've been busy these days, so I came back a little late. Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I lay down and was about to sleep, but I got up when I heard the adults' voices. But have you eaten?" Gao Wanxin asked gently and considerately.

Zhao Xuan didn't say anything.

Gao Wanxin asked Yu'er to ask the small kitchen to cook some noodles and send them over.

Zhao Xuan sat down, and Gao Wanxin changed his clothes, saying, "I had hoped that you would come back sooner, so I could have a word with you. I've been waiting for you for so long."

"What's wrong? What happened at home?"

Zhao Xuan has also been having a headache these days. His good-for-nothing son is playing with women outside. It is even worse than when he was young. He even plays with women in brothels.

Zhao Xuan loves women, but they are all from respectable families, pure and innocent. He never visits prostitutes or plays around outside.

Zhao Chengliang's recent actions have angered Zhao Xuan.

He was outside taking care of his son and was quite upset. He didn't want to bring his bad mood and affect Gao Wanxin.

After all, she is pregnant.

Gao Wanxin was only concerned with talking to Zhao Xuan about Zhang's daughter, and she didn't notice the impatience on Zhao Xuan's face.

"You can handle this matter as you wish. You don't need to ask me."

"Jun Jie'er is Zhang's daughter. She disciplines her own children. You don't need to interfere too much."

Gao Wanxin paused as she helped Zhao Xuan hang up his clothes.

It turned out that her desire to care for her child led her to intervene in Zhang's affairs.

Gao Wanxin didn't say much, but responded lightly, "Okay."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Gao Wanxin didn't ask any more questions. After the maid brought the noodles and side dishes, Zhao Xuan ate a few mouthfuls in a hurry and didn't have much appetite.

He asked Gao Wanxin if there was anything else...

Gao Wanxin shook her head.

Zhao Xuan said, let’s take a rest.

He slept in her bed at night, but Gao Wanxin felt that he was so close and yet so far away.

Zhao Xuan put a lot of thought into marrying her, and she was touched by this. However, these things about the Zhao family made Gao Wanxin realize that it was impossible for Zhao Xuan to put all his thoughts on her.

And it seemed that after marrying Zhao Xuan, she had lost her backbone.

She always has to do something and can't just revolve around Zhao Xuan.

The next morning, Zhao Xuan left without having breakfast. When Gao Wanxin got up to have breakfast, she heard someone making a fuss outside the door, saying that the young master was having sex with women outside without paying, and the people from the brothel had come to the door to make a fuss.

Gao Wanxin frowned, but still asked the maid to take the money and send her away.

After breakfast, Gao Wanxin went to check on the old lady.

She was afraid that the matter had reached the old lady and would make her angry again.

When she got there, she saw that the old lady had not eaten anything and the food on the table had gone cold.

Gao Wanxin had breakfast taken away. She went to the old lady's small kitchen to look at the available ingredients, cooked crab porridge, and made two other dishes of pancakes.

"You need to eat at least a little. If you don't, how will your body survive?"

Seeing Gao Wanxin clumsily preparing these meals despite her big belly, the old lady looked at her and said, "Don't worry about me. I was just irritated by Cheng Liang. I couldn't study well, and now I'm hanging around outside."

"Sit down and talk to me."

"As soon as Lingxi entered the palace, I felt so empty inside."
