Chapter 71 Little Milk Bag's shocking words, the battle last night was quite intense
Shen Yuanhong raised his leg and strode forward.
Shen Qingyi was panicking. It seemed that her father had been outside the door for a long time. She didn't know how much he had heard. She wondered if he would mistakenly think that she was deliberately provoking her mother.
The more she thought about it, the more unsure she became. She lowered her head and cried out guiltily.
"Dad~"
"It's getting late, you should go back and rest."
Shen Yuanhong glanced at her and spoke without any emotion.
"Oh, okay, goodbye, Mom and Dad~"
Shen Qingyi was as if she had been pardoned. She left in a hurry after saying a few words, and did not forget to close the door for them after she left.
"Just come in if you're here. Why are you standing outside eavesdropping on our conversation? Look how scared Qingyi is."
Mrs. Shen looked up and complained dissatisfiedly, and Shen Yuanhong snorted indifferently.
"Humph, who told her to badmouth her father behind his back all day long? Go out and ask around and see if there's any other daughter who's been saying bad things about her father in front of her own mother like she is?"
"It's good that I didn't beat her up."
If it were those two brothers, he would definitely kick their butts to pieces.
Mrs. Shen: “…”
"Did you hear about the princess?"
"What does the princess's affairs have to do with me? I would like to ask Madam, when you agreed to marry me, was it because you loved me, or was it because you wanted to repay a favor?"
"Do you really trust me now? Or is it really like what Madam said, that since I saved your life, nothing else matters?"
Mrs. Shen: “…”
She looked at the man in front of her who was in a low mood, as if he had suffered a great injustice, and was speechless.
He already has four children, how could he ask these questions?
No matter how speechless you are, you still have to comfort him. Otherwise, he will really be angry to death because of those unfounded things.
Madam Shen took a step forward, took the initiative to snuggle in his arms, put her arms around his neck, and whispered softly while pinching his lips.
"My dear husband, I married you out of love and gratitude."
"My husband has sacrificed so much for me along the way and has taken such good care of me. Even in that bitter cold place, I have never suffered an inch."
"I'm not the kind of heartless, ungrateful person. How could I not know how good my husband is? How could I not remember his kindness?"
"But repaying a favor and loving someone are not in conflict."
"What a spirited young man you were! How's that saying, 'I've fought across three thousand miles, and with a single sword I've held off a million men.'"
"My husband is handsome and so brave. What woman wouldn't love a heroic young man? My husband has always been a hero in my heart. Of course I love him."
These words were very useful to Shen Yuanhong. His gloomy mood instantly improved. He stretched out his big hand and tightly grasped Mrs. Shen's slender waist, but his words were still unforgiving.
"Hmph, I remember that Madam said that even if all the men in the world died, she would not like a scoundrel like me, so she told me to give up on you as soon as possible and stop dreaming about you."
Mrs. Shen: “…”
This is such a trivial matter, how could he still remember it so clearly?
"I was wrong, my husband. If I had known that I would love you so much now, I would never have said those words. I would have rushed into your arms the moment I met you."
"Yeah?"
"Yes."
"It's not too late now, Madam can throw herself into my arms now."
Mrs. Shen: “…”
A night of pleasure.
The next day, Mrs. Shen woke up in the afternoon and felt like her body was about to fall apart.
Chen Wan was taken to the wet nurse last night. After waking up, she ate and drank well, but no one took her to her mother. She knew that the battle between her parents last night must have been quite intense.
[Looking at the sun, it's probably past eleven now. Mom hasn't gotten up yet?]
[Well, seeing my parents so loving, I should be happy.]
[However, excessive indulgence is harmful to the body. Parents should exercise some restraint. Also, I took Mom's pulse a few days ago and found that she wasn't taking birth control pills. Are you still trying to give me a younger brother or sister?]
If you still want to have another child, I'd definitely support you. It's just that you just gave birth to me, and your energy hasn't fully recovered yet. If you get pregnant again now, it might harm your health.
【……】
As soon as she stepped into the room, Shen Qingyi heard these words and her face turned red instantly.
She hadn't even reached marriage age yet and was still a virgin. When she heard about this, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in.
No, no, I can’t let my little sister continue to think about it, otherwise, I don’t know what she will think next.
"Little sister, sister is here to see you."
After calming down, Shen Qingyi walked over with a faint smile on her face.
"babble……"
【My sister is here.】
Good afternoon, sister.
Shen Wan tilted her head and looked at Shen Qingyi, stretched out her hand towards her, and was very happy.
She felt that compared to the nanny and Sister Xiaoxia, her sister and mother understood her thoughts better, and could occasionally chat with her to relieve her boredom and pass the boring days.
"Good afternoon~"
Shen Qingyi almost blurted out the words, but fortunately she reacted in time and swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
She strode to the couch and picked up Shen Wan.
"I have nothing to do, so I came here to keep my younger sister company. Have you eaten enough, younger sister?"
[I'm full. From this morning till now, the wet nurse has fed me three times. She's very gentle and caring. By the time she leaves, I should be able to speak, right?]
[When that happens, I will give the thickest gold bracelet to my nanny.]
Shen Qingyi: "..."
The little money-grubber is actually willing to give away a gold bracelet?
It seems that my little sister really likes the wet nurse.
"Little sister, do you like being outside? The Winter Banquet is just a few days away. It will be very lively then. All the unmarried nobles in the capital will be there to attend."
"The Winter Banquet was hosted by the late Empress Dowager once a year. It has been held over twenty times to date. Although the late Empress Dowager has passed away, this festival has been passed down..."
Shen Qingyi talked eloquently and tirelessly introduced to Chen Wan the origins of the Winter Banquet and various details involved.
When talking about the winter banquet, she also mentioned a few interesting things, which made Shen Wan particularly fascinated.
"Little sister, do you still remember Sister Huo'er? Sister Huo'er is the most talented woman in our Yun Country. She earned this title at the Winter Banquet."
"Back then, Sister Huo'er's poem 'Ode to Rivers and Mountains' astonished the audience, and the late emperor personally hailed her as the most talented woman."
"The year Sister Huo'er won the title of the most talented woman, she defeated many women in the capital. The most impressive among them was Su Haitang, the eldest daughter of the Grand Marshal's Mansion."
"Su Haitang wasn't convinced by Sister Huo'er, so she spread the word that a talented woman shouldn't just write poetry and songs, but should also be good at playing the qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She wanted to compete with Sister Huo'er in playing the qin."
"But who could have known that the music she thought was so good would sound completely disorganized to everyone else. It was like a devilish sound piercing the brain, with nothing to recommend it except being irritating."
"Su Haitang was therefore ridiculed by the talented men of the capital as the most incompetent legitimate daughter of the Yun Kingdom..."
