Why does the prince look so grim? He looks like he's about to kill someone.
Xie Jingyan walked toward the study, his belly full of anger. The maids in the courtyard stared at him with wide eyes when they saw him walking so freely.
The prince can leave now?!
The prince's leg is healed?!
The maids were worried they were dreaming in broad daylight and reached out to pinch themselves.
He pinched himself so hard he grimaced.
After Xie Jingyan left, Yinshuang and Haitang went inside. By then, Shen Wan had already put on her undergarments. Yinshuang stepped forward, about to ask why the prince looked so unwell, when she heard Shen Wan instruct Haitang, "Prepare hot water, I want to take a bath."
Haitang quickly went outside.
Before Yinshuang could speak again, Shenwan looked at her and said, "Go out of the manor and buy me a contraceptive."
Yinshuang then said, "The Princess and the Prince have already consummated their marriage. Aren't they planning to have a son?"
"Go buy it!"
Chen Wan's voice was somewhat broken.
Yinshuang had never seen Shen Wan use such a harsh voice to order her around, so she dared not persuade her any further and hurried off to do it.
There's a pharmacy in the manor, and the princess asked her to go out and buy it, clearly because she didn't want anyone in the manor to know. But they've already consummated their marriage, so why don't they have a little prince? There are few masters in the Ling Prince's manor, and having a little prince or princess would make it much more lively.
Shen Wan hugged the quilt, and under the covers, she gripped the jade pendant tightly, wishing she could crush it to pieces.
In her past life, she had such a difficult time getting a child, and she didn't think she could get pregnant on the first try. But she was afraid of the worst-case scenario. The thought of having to give way to Xie Jingyan's beloved after he succeeded already made her heart ache unbearably. If she had another child, would she still be able to leave?
A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one.
Soon, Haitang had prepared the hot water, and Shen Wan soaked herself in the bathtub. Haitang was worried that she would drown.
Shen Wan soaked in the bathtub for a long time, until the skin on her fingertips was wrinkled, before she finally got out.
Yinshuang bought the medicine and started decocting it.
Inside the study, Xie Jingyan sat at his desk, his face still showing signs of anger.
Chen Feng didn't dare to breathe loudly.
He was actually happy for the prince before, thinking that the prince had finally gotten what he wanted. Heaven knows how they ended up consummating their marriage, and their relationship got even worse. Look how angry the prince is. Only the princess could make the prince so angry.
Chen Feng wanted to say a few words of advice to Xie Jingyan, but he really didn't know where to begin. Just then, the window was pushed open and Chen Yu jumped in.
Upon seeing Chen Yu, Chen Feng asked, "Do you need something from me?"
Chen Yu hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
Xie Jingyan said coldly, "Speak! What did she do?!"
Since the prince had guessed it, he didn't hide it anymore, "The princess had her maid buy contraceptives..."
Chen Feng, “……!!!”
Chen Feng wished he could cover Chen Yu's mouth.
The prince was furious, and he just added fuel to the fire.
The princess consort is something else; she won't stop until she's driven the prince to his death, is she?
A fierce look swept across Xie Jingyan's face. He suddenly stood up and strode back into the house.
He walked to the beaded curtain and saw Shen Wan pick up the medicine bowl and drink it all in one gulp.
Xie Jingyan's face was ashen, as if ink had been spilled on it. He flung aside the beaded curtain, walked in, grabbed Shen Wan's hand, and pulled her up. "Do you hate me that much?!"
Startled, Shen Wan dropped the bowl in her hand, shattering it into pieces.
In his anger, Xie Jingyan used a bit of force, and Shen Wan felt as if her wrist was about to be crushed. Tears welled up in her eyes from the pain. Xie Jingyan gritted his teeth and said, "Drink contraceptive medicine, why don't you just watch me die!"
Startled, Yinshuang knelt down with a thud and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please calm down! The Princess Consort didn't drink a contraceptive, she drank a fertility-enhancing medicine..."
She really is a loyal maidservant.
Xie Jingyan flung his hand, and Shen Wan was thrown onto the bed.
Xie Jingyan's fist cracked as he turned and left.
Yinshuang wasn't sure if Xie Jingyan believed what she had said, so she quickly went to ask Shen Wan, "Is the Princess alright?"
Shen Wan shook her head. "I'm fine. Don't lie to him for my sake in the future."
Yinshuang's lips moved, but she didn't dare to reply.
Forget it, I'd better not say anything more. Getting pregnant isn't that easy, especially since the princess isn't even allowed to menstruate. Whether she takes fertility-inducing drugs or contraceptives, the result is the same.
The maid had a big heart.
