Chapter 115 I Will Never Take a Concubine in This Life
Whenever he thought of her being pregnant and tossing and turning at night, he wanted to slap himself hard.
He took out the letter paper and was about to tear it up when Song Zijin stopped him.
She clearly saw water marks on the letter paper.
When I opened it, I saw that there were indeed small circles of marks on it.
Her heart suddenly began to ache, but she forced a smile on her face, "I didn't expect that the regent would be such a crybaby."
Xiao Linyuan's ears were red as blood dripped from his mouth. He took the letter back and said, "It's just that I can't control myself when I drink too much..."
Song Zijin did not let go, but folded the letter and put it in his pocket.
"From now on, this will be the evidence we'll use to tell our children that their father is a shameful crybaby~"
Xiao Linyuan gently touched her belly and said, "Tomorrow I will arrange for someone to go to the county town to buy the necessary things for the birth. Is there anything special you want to buy?"
"Let's not buy it. Let's go back to the capital."
"No, you're pregnant, and the road is bumpy. I'm afraid something might happen to you. Besides, this place is so beautiful, and you'll feel comfortable living here."
Song Zijin shook his head. "Tan County is great, but I have you, my father and mother, and Zipei Wuque in the capital. I want to go back."
If she walked slowly, it would take more than a month. At that time, her belly was five months old, which was still within her tolerance range.
If I don't leave now, I will have to wait until she gives birth in March and then do a double confinement period, which is too long.
He is now the regent and has a lot of mundane duties to attend to. If he stays here to accompany her during childbirth, who will take care of the common people?
Xiao Linyuan remained silent. He didn't want her to be in any danger at all.
Song Zijin had no choice but to continue to persuade him: "Father has just taken office. If Mother comes to see me on her own, Father will be worried. They have suffered so much, and I don't want them to suffer the hardship again."
Hearing this, Xiao Linyuan's attitude finally softened a bit.
"Then let's stay a few more days and send someone to the county to find a skilled craftsman to build a comfortable carriage before we leave."
"Okay~"
…
Wang Ge invited a banquet chef from the county and set up a long buffet in front of the door of Su's house to entertain the villagers of Tanhua Village.
Aunt Hua was the loudspeaker of the village. As she spread the word, all the men, women, young and old in the village knew about it, and they all came to the banquet wearing new clothes.
When she saw Song Zijin, Aunt Hua pinned a freshly picked big red flower on her bun.
"Lili doesn't allow us to bring gifts, so I'll give you the most beautiful flowers in the village on behalf of everyone!"
Song Zijin touched her hair and smiled sweetly, "Thank you everyone!"
It really proves the saying that kindness can heal everything.
If it weren't for her ties to the capital, she would be willing to live here forever.
Aunt Hua touched Song Zijin's shoulder and asked, "Lili, does your husband have any unmarried younger brothers?"
Song Zijin smiled and shook his head.
Aunt Zhang scoffed mercilessly: "Lao Hua, you're not thinking of remarrying, are you?"
The villagers' voices should not be underestimated. When this shout came out, everyone at the table heard it.
Aunt Hua blushed, "What are you talking about! I'm looking for a son-in-law for my niece! You know my niece is as beautiful as a fairy, and only a man like Wang Langjun is worthy of her!"
When Xiao Linyuan heard them discussing him, he strode out of the room, walked to Song Zijin's side, and grabbed her waist, which was twice as wide as hers.
"Aunts, don't joke about that. My wife is extremely jealous. If you tease me like this, I'm afraid I'll have to sleep on the floor tonight!"
Before, no one dared to talk to him because he was tall and strong and looked like he could kill a cow with one punch. But after hearing his jokes, they were not so afraid of him anymore.
Aunt Hua bravely stepped forward and said half-jokingly, "Lili has seen my niece. Her figure may not be as good as yours, but her appearance is still very impressive. Why don't you marry her to Mr. Wang? Then when we go to visit relatives in the capital in the future, we can also visit Lili!"
The smile on Song Zijin's face froze, and he subconsciously clenched his hands at his sides.
The next moment, her five fingers were forced open, and slender, powerful fingers took the opportunity to insert themselves in, interlocking their fingers with hers.
"Thank you for your kindness, Aunt Hua. I will only marry Lili in this life and will never take a concubine. Besides, it's not easy for a concubine to live in the back house, so it's better not to let your daughter become a concubine. I hope Aunt Hua's niece will find a good husband soon."
After saying that, he pulled Song Zijin towards the village entrance.
Aunt Hua laughed awkwardly. "I just wanted to test Mr. Wang for Lili. I didn't expect him to be such a good man!"
No one dared to speak, for fear that if they said a wrong word they would be beaten up by Wang Langjun's men.
Xiao Linyuan sat on the stone, hooked his arm around Song Zijin's waist, and let her sit on his lap.
"There are so many people here, stop making trouble." Song Zijin pushed his hand away in embarrassment.
"The stone is cold, I'm afraid you'll be cold. Besides, are you afraid of them seeing this fake face of yours?"
These words successfully reminded Song Zijin of the time they went to the black market.
Yes, wearing a fake face makes you bolder in doing anything.
She lost her restraint and slowly sat down.
The branches of the willow tree swayed gently in the wind, pulling at the overlapping shadows of the two people.
Xiao Linyuan rested his chin on her shoulder and whispered, "Zijin, don't get angry because of other women in the future. I won't want anyone else except you."
Song Zijin stared at the mountains in the distance in a daze.
Last night, he talked about many future plans, including how to deal with the old emperor and the young emperor.
Now he is second to none and his future is limitless.
Even if she wanted to take him for herself, the court officials would not allow it.
When you are in a high position, there are many things that are beyond your control.
Of course she believed in his sincerity at the moment, but who could say for sure what the future would be like?
Maybe she was the one who changed her mind first.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Xiao Linyuan's heart grew heavier, and the noise of the crowd not far away began to become harsh.
"You don't believe me?" His voice was a little hoarse, mixed with grievance.
Song Zijin quickly grabbed his hand and stroked it gently, "I naturally believe you."
Xiao Linyuan pulled his hand away and turned his face to the side. "You can't lie at all, you know that?"
Song Zijin held his face in her hands and said sincerely, "I'm not lying to you. I really believe it."
"You don't believe I will keep my promise for the rest of my life, right?"
"Actually, I've broken my promises many times, have you forgotten? For example, I repeatedly disobeyed you and used my blood to save you. But this was the only way to save you, and I had no choice. So I deserve to be forgiven."
Xiao Linyuan's deep, dark eyes stared straight at her, with an unignorable resentment in them.
"So, under what circumstances do you think I would break my promise?"
In his twenty-three years of life, except for going against his original decision about falling in love with her, he never changed his mind about anything else.
She was willing to love him, but unwilling to believe his promise.
Did he do something to cause her to misunderstand?
Could it be that for once, she was willing to firmly believe in him?
