Chapter 143 Unforgettable
This memory is deeply engraved in Yun Wan's mind and she will never forget it even when she dies.
Five years ago, shortly after Lu Fenglan's funeral, Yun Wan found an opportunity to tell the old lady about her plans.
She thought that even though the old lady didn't like her, death is like the extinguishing of a light, her youngest son was already dead, and there would not be much use for a widow like her to stay in the mansion, so she should not disagree.
If the old lady disagrees, she will find another way.
There was no one guarding the gate of Cixin Hall that day, so Yun Wan had no one to inform her of her arrival. When she approached the house alone, she did not expect to hear the following conversation:
"The Yun family has a foxy face. Women like this are always restless. Rather than letting her cheat on me and bring shame to my son, it's better to let her go."
"They were a loving couple, and I think my son is happy in the afterlife. The rumors are that she was so heartbroken and depressed that she committed suicide for my son."
"Then, old lady, what should I do?"
"Poisoning is the safest way, you are..."
“.......”
The old lady wants to kill herself.
At that moment, Yun Wan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her whole body felt freezing cold.
From that day on, Yun Wan was frightened and scared, and had nightmares all night long, in which she saw the old lady's hateful face.
She would test everything she ate with a silver needle to confirm that it was non-toxic before eating, for fear that it might have been poisoned.
And he only dared to take a few bites at a time, for fear that the old lady had asked someone to give him some strange poisonous silver needle that could not be detected. If he took less and in a smaller dosage, he might still be alive.
For several days, Yun Wan was terrified and unable to sleep or eat, until she could no longer hold on and fainted.
When she woke up, she learned that she was pregnant.
The old lady's attitude towards her changed drastically and became very warm. She asked her to take good care of herself and give birth to the child.
Yun Wan realized that it was the baby in her belly that saved her life.
There was shock, relief, but more of hatred.
To Old Madam Lu, to the Lu family, and to Lu Fenglan.
She hated the old lady for being cold-blooded and ruthless, hated the Lu family for being a cannibalistic mansion, and hated Lu Fenglan for being useless and never thinking of giving her any protection.
As a son, doesn't he know who his mother is?
The old lady may have realized that Yun Wan knew something, and she returned to her previous indifference, only being warm to Asui.
The two of them didn't say it out loud, but they knew it in their hearts.
"This old hag!"
After hearing this, Emperor Jingxuan roared, his face was as dark as ink, and endless murderous intent was brewing in his eyes.
He hated the person he held in his hands, but the old hag wanted to poison her and kill her.
If it weren't for the little boy Chang Sui, his wife would have suffered such a cruel death.
When Emperor Jingxuan thought of such an outcome, he felt a chill in his heart and held Yun Wan's hand tightly.
Yun Wan, on the other hand, had her remaining fear dispelled by his anger, especially when he called her "old hag", she looked shocked.
It seemed that no one had expected that such a distinguished person like him would speak such vulgar words.
Seeing this, Emperor Jingxuan raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Did you scare your wife?"
"I have been in the Northern Frontier for many years, and my lady knows that the army is full of rough and uncouth men. If I am too polite, it will be difficult to win their hearts."
The identity of Emperor Jingxuan as a prince already made them feel unfamiliar and distant. If they continued to maintain their status in the army and wanted to achieve military merit, it would make things even more difficult.
What he didn't say was that in order to build closer relationships with the soldiers in the army, he also called them "Laozi" all the time.
Emperor Jingxuan slowly grasped Yun Wan's hand, wrapping it tightly. He chuckled and said, "I'm not some refined scholar or gentleman. It's too late for my lady to dislike me."
Yun Wan laughed: "I just want to say that you should not use foul language in front of Asui, otherwise he will remember it."
The child is still young, and it is not polite for him to learn these swear words.
Emperor Jingxuan: "Of course! I understand the principle of setting an example by leading by example myself. Madam, rest assured."
"Madam has suffered a lot over the years."
Because of his injury, he couldn't hold her in his arms, and could only look at her quietly, his eyes full of heartache and guilt.
It turned out that his wife had suffered so much in a place he didn't know about.
Yun Wan shook her head. "A'Sui is a very well-behaved child. He was very well-behaved even when he was in my womb. He hardly ever made a fuss."
She had seen many pregnant women vomiting constantly and suffering greatly, but Yun Wan did not have these reactions when she was pregnant with Asui.
The child was lying quietly in her belly as if it didn't exist. A few months earlier, Yun Wan even suspected that the doctor had made a wrong diagnosis and that she was not pregnant at all?
It wasn't until her belly grew bigger day by day that Yun Wan could feel slight movements when she touched her belly occasionally, as if the fetus was greeting her. Only then did she feel relieved.
Yun Wan chuckled softly, her eyes soft and gentle: "At that time, everyone said that this child came to repay a favor."
Indeed, Asui's arrival saved Yun Wan's life.
Emperor Jingxuan imagined his wife when she was pregnant, feeling both regretful and comforted: "My wife has raised our child very well."
Only he and his wife could give birth to such a smart and well-behaved child. He felt so satisfied that he couldn't express it in words. Suddenly, he felt that the pain in his wounds was gone.
Yun Wan couldn't help but laugh, and then asked, "But I'm curious how Your Majesty is so sure?"
Emperor Jingxuan did not hide the truth: "I sent someone to investigate and found out that after Lu San's death, his wet nurse returned to her hometown. She actually had doubts about Chang Sui's background."
Shortly after receiving the brief message from the carrier pigeon, a few days later he received a long letter from Xuan Liu, which detailed the cause and effect.
Hearing the words of the wet nurse, Yun Wan thought to herself, "No wonder."
"Her return to her hometown actually has something to do with me."
The wet nurse was the old lady's person. After Yun Wan and Lu Fenglan got married, she was ordered to go to their courtyard. On the surface, she was assigned to be the staff for the couple, but in fact, she was there to keep an eye on their bedroom affairs.
She was afraid that Yun Wan would seduce Lu Fenglan, and that he would indulge in pleasure, engage in excessive sexual activities, and ruin his virginity.
Yun Wan was afraid that the wet nurse would become suspicious, so she readily agreed when she thought that she had no future with her and wanted to return to Ci Xin Hall.
Afterwards, he secretly used some means to make the wet nurse ostracized in Cixintang, causing her to make mistakes and lose the old lady's favor and trust, forcing her to leave the Lu family.
On the day she left the house feeling disheartened, Yun Wan sent someone to give her some silver, and her wet nurse burst into tears of gratitude.
Emperor Jingxuan recalled what Xuanliu had said in the letter he sent back later. It was only under his interrogation that the wet nurse revealed the suspicious matter, and it seemed that she was grateful to Yun Wan.
"That old hag treated Madam so badly, what do you want to do with her?"
Thinking of what Yun Wan had just said, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, like an ice blade in winter.
Yun Wan opened her mouth to speak, but there was a sound of footsteps at the entrance of the hall, followed by Asui's clear and cheerful voice:
"Your Majesty, I'm here!"
After showering and changing his clothes, Asui looked clean, fair, and fragrant. He first dived into Yun Wan's arms and hugged her, then turned around and leaned on the edge of the bed and asked curiously:
"Your Majesty, who is this old woman?"
Emperor Jingxuan's expression froze, and he turned to meet Yun Wan's gloomy gaze.
