Chapter 72 Give Birth to Yourself
It was already late in the evening and the heavy snow had just stopped for half a day, but the wind still carried the chill of snow.
On the way home, Qi Huaijing questioned Chen Tang as usual.
"What did your wife talk to you about today?"
Although Chen Tang was distracted the whole time, he still listened to most of what was said and answered concisely.
"Hurry me to have a baby."
Qi Huaijing breathed a sigh of relief and slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
"As for having children...we have been very diligent, what else does she want?"
Chen Tang put his hands in his pockets and sighed.
"My wife called me over early this afternoon. She sounded very anxious. I thought it was nothing. It turned out that she had asked a doctor to take my pulse."
Chen Tang glanced at him and smiled faintly: "Maybe he is afraid that I can't have children."
Mrs. Yue got pregnant with her first child just two months after she got married. Now her son has been married for half a year, but her daughter-in-law is still not pregnant. She thinks there is something wrong.
Qi Huaijing curled his lips without commenting, "She does whatever she wants, just ignore her."
Seeing his nonchalant look, Chen Tang asked curiously, "Why don't you ask the doctor what he says?"
"Why ask? If the doctor says there's something wrong with your body, I won't even have to go into the house. I can hear my wife scolding me from two miles away."
Shen Tang couldn't help but chuckle.
"You are quite clever."
"You're still laughing. Aren't you angry that she's acting so crazy?"
Shen Tang smiled and shook his head.
She was indeed not very angry. Not to mention Madam Yue, even her stepmother Madam Qi and her aunt Madam Song would always ask Chen Tang if she was pregnant every time they saw her. After asking her over and over again, she also had some doubts in her heart.
Except for the beginning of their marriage, the couple has always been dedicated, hardworking, and enjoyable in this matter.
But her period still came as scheduled.
She also asked Feng Xi privately, and the answer she got was -
“Let it be.”
This time, the doctor that Mrs. Yue invited gave a similar answer, and she felt relieved after hearing it.
But Mrs. Yue was not very reassured.
At this moment, the two of them had not yet realized how uneasy Mrs. Yue was.
…
When Shen Tang woke up early the next morning, he felt sore all over.
Since their marriage, Qi Huaijing was willing to indulge her in everything except in bed, where he would not let her off at all.
When the love reached its peak, although Chen Tang was a little shy, she was happy to cater to his willfulness.
But last night, the first two times were normal. Qi Huaijing even asked quietly between breaths if he hurt her.
Later, he frowned and said nothing, his erection became terrifying, like a violent storm, and he refused to stop for even a moment...
The two of them didn't stop all night.
...Even my hands are shaking from exhaustion.
The more Chen Tang thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He simply picked up Qi Huaijing's pillow and threw it twice with shaking arms.
That bastard almost took half her life.
Before Chen Tang vented his anger by hugging his pillow in Wutong Garden, Qi Huaijing had already rushed to Yujin Hall and smashed nearly half of the porcelain in Madam Yue's room.
"...From now on, don't even think about letting us eat here! I've told you so many times not to plot against her!"
Mrs. Yue felt wronged, so she took matters into her own hands and smashed the other half of the porcelain in the hall.
"Who plotted against her? Who dared to plot against her! Did you want to drink that soup? Besides, mother just wanted you to have a child as soon as possible. It's for your own good! You kid, you really took my kindness for granted!"
"Please give up your kindness! Are you so idle? If you really have nothing to do, why don't you get married and have another child?"
Mrs. Yue was so angry that her face turned pale and she slapped him in the face.
"Evil son!"
The noise of the quarrel was so loud that it soon reached Qi Chengzhou's ears. After hearing the reason, he sneered and went to Qi Huaijing's study.
"Sanlang, are you busy?"
Qi Huaijing was slapped by his own mother for the first time in his life, and he didn't want to go back and be seen by Chen Tang, so he was half lying on the warm couch in the study, applying ice.
When he saw his second brother come in, he threw an ice pack and asked him to sit down.
"Second brother, you are so free?"
The study was warm. Qi Chengzhou sat down opposite him and tilted his head to look at the red mark on his cheek.
"Tsk, tsk, madam is quite powerful!"
Qi Huaijing stroked his blushing cheeks and smiled at himself.
"This is the first time I've been beaten by her since I was a child. I was really too reckless this time."
Qi Chengzhou laughed.
"You've been so outrageous quite a few times, did you just notice it today?"
Qi Huaijing smiled and shook his head, and asked someone to bring a pot of queshe tea.
While drinking tea, Qi Chengzhou looked at his third brother's lazy and unruly appearance opposite him, and recalled his childhood memories.
Back then, Qi Huaijing followed Madam Yue back to the capital, and the eldest son of the Qi family was Qi Chengzhou.
But no one in the Qi family has ever praised me.
Ever since he could remember, during every festival, someone would always mention that the Qi family had a legitimate son who lived far away in the capital, was very much loved, good-looking and extremely intelligent.
These words reminded him explicitly or implicitly that his legitimate brother would come back sooner or later to inherit the Qi family's business.
And he, a bastard son, would eventually become a subordinate like his two bastard uncles, relying on the little scraps of flesh and blood that slipped out of the hands of the Qi family's direct descendants to support his entire family, big and small.
He could hardly remember what his brother looked like, but he had remembered this person long ago.
Later, Qi Huaijing followed Madam Yue back to Guangling City. Wherever he went, there were people praising, protecting and paying attention to him.
He was envious, really envious.
But Qi Chengzhou always looked down on him, and his disdain became more and more.
He is more valuable than me, more favored than me, and has a better appearance than me, but he was just lucky enough to be born in my wife's belly.
Although I am not as good-looking as him in status, position or appearance, I have become the second master of the Qi family in Guangling City by relying on my scheming and trickery.
Lovely wives and beautiful concubines, rich slaves and silver maids, they are no worse than others in any way!
Speaking of this, Master Qi thought of his third brother's marriage and couldn't help but sneer.
My brother is really spoiled. He lets his temper take over even something as important as marrying a wife.
I heard that he had a big fight with Mrs. Yue and Mr. Yue, and that's why he married the cousin of his uncle who was a low-ranking official.
The daughter of a small official is indeed respectable and has some character.
But the Shen family's officials are too low-ranking, and marrying into the Qi family, a merchant family that only seeks wealth and fame, that eccentric decency and incompatible character will only make people feel uncomfortable.
Many people in the clan have laughed at him openly or secretly, saying that even a small official has a seventh rank, so an official of the eighth rank is not even as good as a sesame seed.
At this moment, he took the opportunity of drinking tea to look at the graceful figure of Qi Huaijing in front of him and slowly took a sip of the bitter and fragrant tea.
You see, marrying such a wife is of no benefit to him, and he does not know the art of checks and balances in the harem, so he spoils her. It is inevitable that his sister-in-law will become spoiled and cause a lot of trouble.
He thought he was good at judging people, and that his third legitimate brother was too sentimental and would never achieve anything great.
