Chapter 346 Father-in-law
Ye Wan was having dinner with Sha Niu when she heard the gossip.
Today is the day she returns to her parents' home.
Just three days ago, Silly Girl got married to her niece, which is like a princess marrying out of her family.
Zheng Qingshan had Lin Anyuan entertain him in the front yard.
"vomit--"
Silly girl suddenly groaned in disgust while eating.
Ye Wan blurted out instinctively, "You're pregnant?"
"They've only just gotten married..."
They had just gotten married, but they had already consummated their marriage ahead of time.
Thinking of this, Ye Wan stopped talking and asked Hui Gu to take the girl's pulse.
A quick pulse diagnosis revealed the truth.
"Auntie, I'm going back to Suzhou while there's still no reaction." The silly girl gagged and then started eating again.
She can really eat, especially with all this delicious food on the table; she'd feel like she'd be missing out if she didn't eat it.
"When are you leaving?" Ye Wan asked.
"It'll probably be in a few days. I'm going back to Beijing to report on my work, so I definitely have to go back. I just can't bear to leave my home in Qingshan." Silly Girl finished eating and put down her chopsticks.
But she was very efficient this time; not only did she get married and have a man, but now she also has a child.
"Then I'll prepare some things for you to take with you." Ye Wan looked at the silly girl and felt genuinely proud of her.
The path of a female general is not easy; it is tiring and arduous. How did she manage to make it through?
"Thank you, Auntie." The silly girl smiled happily.
When she got home, her mother-in-law was devastated. "No way! The journey is so long and bumpy. How can we do this?"
I just received the good news that my daughter-in-law is pregnant, and now she's going to the frontier. What if something happens to the baby?
"What's wrong with that, Mother? You're not that delicate!"
Silly girl didn't care; she was strong and healthy, and besides, she held an official position and couldn't just abandon her post.
Aunt Wu immediately became anxious upon hearing this, "Then I'll go with you. How can we manage without someone to guide us?"
Silly girl, “Mom, the sandstorms are strong over there, you might not be able to get used to it. Just stay here and don’t go to Qingshan either. My aunt gave me a life-saving pill, I’ll definitely be fine.”
She's going to leave alone. Zheng Qingshan also has a job in the capital. What's the point of her running off with him like this?
"I already said it's a life-saving medicine, so it should only be used in the most critical situations."
“If you can get used to it, what can’t I get used to? I’ll listen to you on everything else, but on this one thing, you two have to listen to me.”
Without saying a word, Aunt Wu went to pack her things.
Her son couldn't go, but she insisted on going.
Zheng Qingshan was thinking about what General Lin had said to him that day.
He will have to go to the border within six months at most.
Meanwhile, news of Consort Jing's pregnancy also spread.
Upon hearing the news, the princes went mad and began forming factions. They started recruiting their former brothers who they had previously looked down upon.
The situation in the imperial court suddenly became tense.
In May, Ye Wan became pregnant.
When Lin Anyuan heard the news, he hugged Ye Wan and pressed his face against her stomach.
"Why did it have to be at this critical juncture?"
Ye Wan patted Lin Anyuan's dog head, "The child is the crystallization of our love. It's good whenever it comes. It must have been choosing us as its parents for a very long time."
With just one sentence, Lin Anyuan's eyes welled up with tears.
Ye Wan stroked his head gently, as if she were petting a dog.
"Wanwan, just stay home and take care of yourself. Don't worry about anything else."
It's impossible for Ye Wan not to have to worry. The weather is getting warmer, and it's time to plant again. The former Grand Minister of Agriculture is ill.
Most of the remaining people intentionally ostracized Ye Wan and led the way in isolating her.
Ye Wan didn't care about any of this; she just focused on doing her job well. As for anyone who tried to sabotage or cause trouble, well, sorry, they could talk to Emperor Jing about it.
Meanwhile, windows were installed in one house after another, and glass products began to be sold on the market, and Ye Wan's private coffers swelled with more and more money.
Those aristocratic families were all incredibly wealthy.
Lin Anyuan is getting busier and busier; sometimes he can't be seen for several days at a time.
Lin Suyi endured for a month. She was three months pregnant and insisted on leaving the palace to see Ye Wan, no matter how others tried to persuade her.
In the end, Ye bent down from the grand court assembly and entered the palace.
Lin Suying's pregnancy is being watched by countless eyes. She would rather enter the palace herself than let her leave.
Ye Wan was the last person she wanted to see go wrong.
"Why are you here, child?" Lin Suyi wanted to cry when she saw Ye Wan.
She's pregnant, and her daughter-in-law is pregnant too, and her daughter-in-law still has to come see her. What kind of situation is this?
"Seeing a beautiful woman sad makes me want to cry too, Your Majesty, are you not welcoming me here?" Ye Wan teased deliberately.
"It's not that I don't want you to come, you're just teasing me on purpose." Perhaps because of her pregnancy, Lin Suying's emotions were fluctuating, sometimes happy and sometimes depressed.
Pulling Ye Wan aside, he asked, "How are you? Is there anything that's bothering you?"
"No, I'm perfectly fine. Look at my face, doesn't it look even better now? My face is as beautiful as a peach blossom. My child must have come to repay a debt of gratitude." Ye Wan said, showing her face.
She already had fair skin, but now she looks even healthier, with a rosy glow and a face as beautiful as a peach blossom.
Green Ivy, who was serving nearby, spoke up: "I've heard that the beautiful lady is pregnant with a daughter, which will make..."
Halfway through her sentence, Green Ivy suddenly realized what she meant and hurriedly knelt down. "Madam, that's not what I meant. I just..."
Ye Wan told people to get up, "You don't need to rush, I'm not in a rush either. If I could have a daughter like Lin Anyuan, I would be so happy."
She likes both men and women.
"You," Lin Suyi said without blaming Green Ivy, "whatever it is, I'm so happy to see Yuan'er get married and have children in my lifetime."
Ye Wan said, "I'm also happy to have such a wonderful mother-in-law and husband."
Lin Suying's smile never faded. "Even though you have your own biological children, don't forget Qing Shuang, Qing Dai, and Qing Yao. They are good children too."
Those children were all very protective of Ye Wan.
Ye Wan pouted, "Speaking of this, there's something I haven't mentioned yet. They've been the ones pushing for having children the most these past few years."
Sanya, in particular, always wanted her to have a younger brother.
The women gathered together and started gossiping, talking about whatever came to mind.
“I originally thought I would find a suitable family for Qing Shuang to marry into, but then I thought it was unnecessary. If she wants to get married, she can; if not, she can stay single.”
Ye Wan always felt that getting married wasn't a choice, and that one should just follow their heart.
"You two are the only couple in the whole world who spoil their daughter like this."
A sound came from outside, and the next second Emperor Jing strode in.
Ye Wan had just stood up and hadn't even performed the proper greetings when Emperor Jing dismissed her from the ceremony.
Emperor Jing sat down next to Lin Suying. “When we’re outside, we’re all formalities. Once we’re inside Chaoyang Palace, we’re all family. There’s no need for so much formality. You can speak more freely.”
"Thank you, Father-in-law," Ye Wan said, sitting down as well.
Since the Emperor has declared us to be family, she naturally wants to take advantage of the situation and climb the social ladder.
The way he addressed Emperor Jing as "father-in-law" made him extremely happy, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Look how good this daughter-in-law is! She immediately rewarded him with many of the good things from his private stash, which were originally meant for his children.
"Today, Wan'er asked me to bestow a marriage upon her, but I did not agree."
Emperor Jing then spoke of Murong Wan'er.
"Why?" Lin Suyi asked, while Ye Wan listened intently from the side.
Murong Wan'er likes good-looking people, so it's normal for her to be interested in Pei Zhichuan.
"That's my subject, the third-ranked scholar I personally selected. He's not some cabbage in a cellar, to be picked and chosen by others. A marriage must be based on mutual consent. If it's not consensual, even a princess won't do." Emperor Jing said, eating a grape.
These grapes were frozen, so they don't taste as good as fresh ones, but he still loves to eat them.
This daughter-in-law really knows how to handle things; he's really eaten a lot of good food these past few years.
Ye Wan said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Emperor Jing looked at Ye Wan and said, "Stop flattering me. Your praise isn't sincere at all. You just mentioned your eldest daughter. If you really think about it, she's practically my granddaughter. We're all family. If a suitable family comes along, you can ask me to bestow a marriage upon her. We can't let others look down on her."
"Daughter-in-law, please thank your father-in-law on behalf of Qing Shuang."
Emperor Jing was overjoyed.

Da Ya has already run into trouble.
