Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Madam, have you changed your clothes? ...
"Wanniang, are you feeling better?" He Shiyan, who lifted the curtain and entered the inner room, looked like an ordinary elder who cared about the health of his younger generation.
In addition, he has an elegant appearance and a gentle temperament. No one would think that he is the culprit who caused his daughter-in-law to faint.
Seeing the master coming, Xiao Xing hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Master."
He Shiyan nodded and waved his hand calmly, "You go down and rest first. I'll take care of things here."
Before Jiang Wu, who didn't want to be alone with him, could say anything, Xiao Xing had already run away, not forgetting to close the door before running out.
………
With only the two of them alone in the room, Jiang Wu felt a sudden chill on his back and subconsciously leaned towards the bed.
Even though he was smiling and was nominally her father-in-law, Jiang Wu still felt uneasy and frightened.
Her subtle movements naturally didn't escape the man's eyes. The man came to the bedside with his usual gentle smile and asked knowingly, "Wanniang, are you afraid of your father? Or are you blaming your father for scaring you?"
Jiang Wu, her nails scratching the sheets beneath her, dared not tell the truth. She bit her lip and shook her head, "You are my husband's father, and you are also my father. How could a daughter-in-law be afraid of you?"
She emphasized the word "father" because she hoped that he would not forget the so-called ethical principles and forget that she was his son's wife.
He Shiyan listened to her call for his father with half-closed eyes, his tongue lightly brushing across her gums. Then, with a soft sigh, he sat down on the edge of the bed, his slender fingers reaching out to touch the hair that fell on her shoulders. "Yesterday, I asked you in the study whether you wanted to stay in the Lin family or go home. Wanniang, have you decided on the answer now?"
Jiang Wu, whose lower lip was red from biting her teeth, recalled what he had done to her in the study last time and naturally wanted to leave.
She didn't understand why she had such a dream. Even if she was dreaming, she was the master of the dream, and shouldn't everything in the dream be centered around her?
Suddenly, I heard him say, "Someone from your mother's family has come, saying they want to take you home. At first, I thought they were reluctant to see you become a widow at such a young age for my son, but when the person they sent to inquire came back, they told me they wanted to marry you off to Mr. Liu, a man over fifty years old and with three deceased wives."
"It's funny. It turns out that Mr. Liu gave your parents, brother and sister-in-law a hundred taels of silver. I'm afraid that once you return home, you will be sent to Mr. Liu's bed that night." He Shiyan saw that her face turned pale, and the smile in his eyes became more vicious, but his tone was particularly gentle.
"I'm not saying this to scare you. If Wanniang doesn't believe me, you can send someone to your family to ask around and find out whether what I'm saying is true or not. I'm saying this simply because I don't want Rong'er's wife to be sent to another man's bed before his body is cold. He'll definitely be worried sick in heaven."
Jiang Wu, who turned her head away from his movements, took a long time to digest what he said.
But Jiang Wu didn't expect that compared to the Lin family, the family of this body was even more shameless.
"Actually, Wanniang, don't worry too much. I've explained this to you, and I've found a solution." He Shiyan sighed softly, acting like a loving father-in-law who only cares about his daughter-in-law. "As long as you give birth to Rong'er's child, you will be the unshakable eldest mistress of the Lin family. After I die, the Lin family will be handed over to you and your child."
"I just used this excuse to send your parents, brother, and sister-in-law away. I said you are pregnant with my Lin family's child. In the future, you will be a member of our Lin family, and in death, you will naturally be a ghost of our Lin family."
Although what he said was based on her consideration, there was obviously a huge loophole in his words. That is, her husband was already dead, so how could Jiang Wu have the ability to give birth to a child alone.
If she could really give birth, wouldn't she become a monster?
Jiang Wu wasn't really hopelessly stupid, so he could naturally hear his subtext, which was to make him beg him.
Asking a daughter-in-law, who had recently lost her father, to beg her father-in-law for a child was something he couldn't initiate, as it would be seen as seducing/seduce his daughter-in-law. Just because he couldn't initiate the proposal didn't mean he couldn't indirectly get his daughter-in-law to initiate it, thus fulfilling his plan.
"Father knows that it is difficult for Wanniang to accept this proposal for the time being, but this is the best way for you to stay in the Lin family, unless..." His cold fingertips stroked his daughter-in-law's cheek. He Shiyan, as if he had obtained an interesting toy, suddenly laughed as he stood up. His smile was like the bright moon in his arms and the spring flowers rippling in the water.
"The daughter-in-law wants to return to her parents' home and marry the old man whose body is half buried in the ground."
"Think about it carefully first. I don't want Wanniang to think about it for too long. Otherwise, what will we do if your family comes to ask for you again one day?"
He said that he would give Jiang Wu time to think about it, but in fact he did not give her any chance to choose.
Anyone who wasn't stupid would know which one to choose: to have sex with her father-in-law or to return to her parents' home and be forced to marry Mr. Liu, a man over fifty years old with three deceased wives and a slew of concubines and children.
He Shiyan pushed the door open in a very good mood and saw a tall young man standing under the eaves in the shade of a tree. He looked closely and saw that his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to his own. He guessed that he must be the son in his dream. "Are you here to see your sister-in-law? She just woke up."
The young man moved his lips, but even though he knew that He Shiyan was the father of his body in this dream, he couldn't bring himself to call out his name.
He Shiyan patted his shoulder before leaving. "You're not young anymore, and it's time for you to get married. I've asked your aunt to help you choose a few girls from good families. You can go meet them when you have time in a few days."
"I will."
Jiang Wu, who didn't understand why she couldn't control her dreams, didn't even know when He Shiyan left, let alone that another person had entered the house.
"Don't be sad."
It wasn't until a striped blue handkerchief appeared in front of Jiang Wu that she heard a stiff consolation. When she looked up, she saw a man who looked 50% similar to He Shiyan, but with a colder and sharper temperament.
Even though he had never seen him before, Jiang Wu immediately knew who this person was.
Her late husband's younger brother, Lin Xie, the second master of the Lin family.
Since he said that she could only stay if she was pregnant with a child of the Lin family, Jiang Wu preferred her late husband's younger brother, who was born of the same mother, to her nominal father-in-law.
Throwing away her so-called shame, Jiang Wu raised her tearful eyes and tugged at the man's sleeve in a sorrowful voice, "Uncle, can you lend me a child?"
………
After He Shiyan opened his eyes and woke up, he was still unsatisfied with everything in his dream.
I think next time I dream about it, that poor daughter-in-law will throw herself into my arms after weighing the pros and cons.
Yongniang, the chef of the Eastern Palace, came in carrying toiletries. It was rare for her to see His Highness in such a good mood, so she couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness seems to be in a good mood today. Did something good happen?"
"No, I just dreamed about something interesting." He Shiyan thought of the woman in his dream and found it interesting.
What’s even more interesting is that in the dream they are the father-in-law and the widowed daughter-in-law, but in reality they are the master’s wife and the disciple. How can it not be considered a taboo?
The only drawback is that it would be more interesting if he was not the only person in the dream.
"A dream that Your Highness finds interesting must be quite interesting."
He Shiyan did not deny it either.
When Xie Ji was about to wake up from his dream, he felt like a huge rock was pressing on his chest. He suddenly opened his eyes after hearing what she shouted.
It turned out that the heavy object that made him feel difficult to breathe was actually his wife, who had originally shared a quilt with him and had gotten into his bed at some point and was sleeping soundly with her head resting on his chest, which made him mistakenly feel as if he was being suffocated by vines.
Xie Ji stretched out his hand to push her away. All he saw was her delicate white skin. A few strands of hair fell on it, making the spring scene even more alluring.
He didn't even dare to open his eyes, for fear of seeing something he shouldn't see, but he could feel how delicate and soft the skin of the arm that was holding him was.
He couldn't help but shamefully recall that dream. In the dream, she, despite being his sister-in-law, threw herself into his arms with tears in her eyes, begging him for a child.
As his Adam's apple rolled, his voice inevitably became hoarse, "Madam, you should wake up."
The voice was low and deep, with a hoarseness to it. It was said to be telling someone to get up, but it sounded more like the hoarseness that came from not being able to relax for a long time.
Xie Ji called out a few times, but the person holding him didn't respond at all. Instead, she wrapped herself around him even tighter, and boldly pushed one leg between his legs. He didn't dare to move, so he could only endure the overwhelming shame and continue to call her.
"Ma'am, you should wake up."
"Wake up, you should get up."
Jiang Wu, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly shuddered, then opened his eyes dazedly. After meeting Xie Ji's enlarged and gloomy face, a chill immediately ran down his spine and he closed his eyes.
He began to mutter to himself in a self-hypnotic manner, "As expected, one shouldn't get up too early. Now I'm hallucinating."
Xie Ji, who was being held like a pillow, was amused and helpless and said again, "I am not hallucinating."
"Also, ma'am, you should get up from me."
Jiang Wu opened her eyes suddenly and widened, only to discover in horror that she was not dreaming, and the man sleeping beside her pillow was indeed her husband.
Jiang Wu, with his hair standing on end, lowered his head almost stiffly, and saw himself entangled with him like an octopus.
The clothes she was wearing had rolled to the ground along with the quilt at some point. Now she was completely naked as she slept with him in her arms. Her face turned red and she was about to reach out to cover his eyes.
"You are not allowed to look around."
"I don't want to see it."
"You can open your eyes only when I tell you you can look." Jiang Wu, feeling shy and embarrassed, felt his eyelashes gently brushing against her palm, causing a slight itch.
"Okay." He still responded with such a good temper, as if even if Jiang Wu pounced on him and did whatever he wanted, he would just respond with a good temper.
Jiang Wu, whose face was red from the soles of her feet to her ears, picked up the clothes that had fallen on the ground and found that her bellyband was missing. She ignored it and wrapped herself in the quilt and walked towards the wardrobe.
When she reached the wardrobe and was about to open it, her body reacted quickly as if she had been electrocuted, and the memories of last night came flooding back.
How could she forget that there were two men hiding in her room, one of whom was in the closet.
Then he took a wrong step and came to the clothes box.
Just as he was about to open the chest and take out the clothes, the door of the wardrobe where the person was hiding suddenly opened a crack.
A pair of scarlet eyes like an eagle suddenly met her terrified dilated pupils.
Not far away, Xie Ji's voice came, "Madam, have you changed your clothes?"
