Lu Yun lay down beside Shen Nian and said, "I would like to take a concubine, but the Lu family's ancestral precepts do not allow concubines. If I take a concubine, won't my parents beat me to death?"
Shen Nian felt an inexplicable pain in her heart when she heard Lu Yun's words.
Chen Nian raised his eyes to look at Lu Yun and said, "If you have a girl you like, you can also raise her outside and treat her child as mine. If you can treat my Han Ge'er as your own, I can also treat your child outside as my own."
Lu Yun stood up, looked at Shen Nian deeply and said, "Your ex-husband found a concubine, but you didn't let him enter your room. Now, you let me keep a woman outside. You don't love me at all!"
Shen Nian asked: "Do you love me?"
Lu Yun was stumped by Chen Nian's question. They got married just because they had a child. They got married because of pregnancy.
If it weren't for the child who was gone, Lu Yun would not have married Chen Nian. She was born with a destiny of being unlucky and was a widow. Even if he didn't care about the reputation of marrying a widow, he still had to save his own life for fear of being brought bad luck by Chen Nian.
The absurdity between him and Shen Nian started when he lost his memory. He was confused and regarded Shen Nian as the love of his heart, thus they had an evil fate.
After he regained consciousness, he kept avoiding Shen Nian, but his mind kept thinking about the intimacy and absurdity between him and Shen Nian when he lost his memory.
At that time, Lu Yun thought that he should be the same as his friends, who were old and lacked women. The reason why he was in the brothel on the day when Emperor Shi Yuan died was that he wanted to try out the difference between the brothel girls and Chen Nian.
The difference is that he simply can't let the brothel girls with rouge smell get close to him.
Only deep contemplation can allow him to experience that kind of bliss.
So Lu Yun knew that she would bring bad luck to her husband, and that she was a widow with a burden, so he would not marry her, but he still acted ridiculously again and again. He didn't know why Shen Nian didn't refuse, but he was like taking opium, becoming more and more addicted each time.
It was not until they had a child that Lu Yun was shocked, but he also felt that he no longer had to dwell on this absurd relationship. He could marry Shen Nian and no longer care about being a widow and a burden. He was so miserable, it was all his own fault.
Now that he heard that Shen Nian didn't want to have his child and wanted to give him a concubine, Lu Yun felt an inexplicable anger in his heart, but he had nowhere to vent it, and he didn't know how to vent it.
Lu Yun simply kissed Shen Nian's red lips, and Shen Nian pushed Lu Yun and said, "I said we can't have children!"
Lu Yun whispered, "Chen Nian, you can't let me be a widow for another three years, right?"
Chen Nian smiled and said, "How can a man remain a widow? However, I know of a medicine that can prevent pregnancy. It is very effective and can prevent pregnancy. Can you help me buy a few doses?"
Lu Yun didn't agree out loud, but he stood up and let down the gauze curtain, and Shen Nian knew that he agreed.
…
The next day, hunting began with ceremonial music playing, and young men from noble families, wearing round-necked robes and riding on big horses, entered the enclosure.
The women, also wearing colorful riding clothes, entered the paddock.
Qi Yuning was not in a hurry to go hunting today, but took Lingling to play in the tent outside the hunting ground.
Shen Nian walked up to Qi Yuning and said, “Sister-in-law, don’t you want to go hunting to have some fun?”
Qi Yuning said: "There are too many people here now, and there won't be much prey left to share. It would be more interesting to go hunting when there are fewer people."
Lingling looked at Shen Nian babbling, and Qi Yuning understood what Lingling meant, "Your brother Han is sick. I will come to play with you when brother Han recovers."
Lingling lay on Qi Yuning's shoulder and stopped babbling.
Lingling, who is nine months old, can already understand a lot of words.
Qi Yuning called Shen Nian to the side, leaving only the two of them and Lingling. Qi Yuning asked, "Did you take the infertility drug again?"
Shen Nian sighed and said, “Princess, you have also seen Han Ge’er’s appearance. You are also a mother now…”
Qi Yuning asked: "Then are you doing this right by Lu Yun?"
Shen Nian said, "This time, Lu Yun bought the infertility medicine."
Qi Yuning thought that Lu Yun, the little bald donkey, must have gone stupid from eating so many green vegetables.
"Oh, there is one more thing. I said I would keep your use of abortion pills a secret from you, but I broke my promise. I accidentally let it slip, and Lu Ze knows about it. He will tell Lu Yun after the hunt is over.
But I think it would be better for you to confess your abortion to Lu Yun yourself, rather than Lu Ze and I telling him about it. "
Shen Nian's hands were shaking, "Did the Regent say anything?"
Qi Yuning lowered her eyes and looked at Shen Nian and said, "Lu Yun has grown up. Even Lu Ze can't say anything about his marriage. But Shen Nian, the Lu family has done their best for you. No matter what the consequences will be if Lu Yun finds out about this, you will suffer the consequences of your own actions."
Shen Nian replied, “Yes.”
Lingling smiled at Chen Nian with her little eyes and stretched out her hands for Chen Nian to hold her. Chen Nian took Lingling and held her in his arms, still absent-mindedly.
Qi Yuning thought of Lingling and then called Chen Nian "Auntie", thinking that after all, Chen Nian and Lu Yun were still husband and wife.
At noon, all the hunters returned.
Zhou Jiamin hunted two wild geese, which was admirable. Nowadays, when marrying off a bride, one must bring a pair of live geese. Live geese are difficult to hunt and very expensive. Some families use wild goose ornaments made of silver as live geese when marrying off a bride, but in the end they are not as good as live geese.
Zhou Jiamin hunted two wild geese, one male and one female, which attracted many people to buy them.
Qi Yuning saw that the two geese had injured their legs, and walked up to Zhou Jiamin and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a skill!"
Zhou Jiamin said: "This is all thanks to Duke Lu who taught me how to hunt wild geese when I was young."
Qi Yuning smiled faintly and said, "How amazing! It's rare to be able to hunt down a wild goose flying in the sky."
Lu Baozhu listened to Zhou Jiamin mentioning Duke Lu and said, "My father? How is that possible? My father couldn't even pull a bow and arrow, and he was scolded by my grandfather!"
Zhou Jiamin smiled, "It was the late Duke Lu. He came to Jiangnan when I was six years old and stayed for a while."
Lu Baozhu said: "I didn't expect that we would have such a fate. My grandfather didn't take me with him at that time but took Lu Yun with him. If he had taken me with him, we might have become good sisters a long time ago."
Lu Yun heard someone had hunted a live goose and came to watch the fun. When he heard this, he remembered Zhou Jiamin and said, "No wonder you look familiar. You are the sister who always gets sick when she goes to the martial arts hall!"
Zhou Jiamin smiled and said, "I don't like to get sick anymore."
Lu Yun said, "I didn't expect it to be you. I haven't seen you for a long time. You are much stronger than when you were a child. You can even shoot down a live goose in the sky. You are really amazing!"
Zhou Jiamin smiled at Lu Yun and said, "There are many people who are better than me. I think you are also quite good. I heard that you hunted a living deer?"
Lu Yun said: "I don't have your ability. I just beat the little sika deer home for my son and niece to play with."
Qi Yuning smiled. Lingling would definitely be happy to know that there was a little deer to play with.
Lu Yun and Zhou Jiamin hit it off right away and started talking about their archery experiences.
Lu Baozhu was jealous because her good friend was taken away by Lu Yun. She walked to Shen Nian and said, "Your husband is having a good conversation with another woman, and you don't care?"
Shen Nian was so distracted by how to confess the abortion pills that she didn't even hear Lu Baozhu's words for a while, "What?"
