Fifth Prince: "..."
It seems so.
Jiang Shumiao added, "When the time comes, it will be your son asking for leave to help you take a concubine. Remember to beat him hard, don't hold back, just like your father beat you."
The chubby boy counted on his fingers, "My dad married my mom when he was twenty, I'm four years old this year, and there are still... sixteen years left."
After calculating this, he cried even harder.
Chen Xunzhi just happened to walk in.
What's going on?
Jiang Shumiao raised her hand and said, "Sir, Liu Jing'an is so sad that he feels he is too young to get married and can't beat his son like his father beats him."
Chen Xunzhi: "..."
"Liu Jing'an, you will stand and listen to the lecture today."
Chubby Liu Jing'an: "???"
He finally realized what was happening and turned to look at Jiang Shumiao.
Jiang Shumiao stuck her tongue out at him.
You even took a concubine? Your mother didn't beat you to death because of her great maternal love.
Let's see if you dare to do it again.
**
Wen Zhixuan was not a person of this era, so he shouldn't have left any karma here, especially marriage.
But then the two of them had a son.
All I can say is that even a wrong connection is still a connection.
The aloof imperial advisor changed into his wedding attire and finally looked somewhat like a mortal.
Because of previous rumors, the Duke of Anguo's mansion had become enemies with the Shen family. However, since this happy event was arranged by Emperor Hongde, the Jiang family naturally had to go and offer their congratulations.
Jiang Shumiao saw Shen Qinghe's face through the fan.
Sure enough, the hidden red thread between her and Wen Zhixuan materialized, but it would shorten her lifespan as a result.
Jiang Shumiao hesitated, "Mother, should I tell my cousin that she would have lived two more years if she hadn't married Wen Zhixuan?"
Xiao Yitang was taken aback.
"Is your cousin's fate related to the Imperial Advisor?"
Jiang Shumiao nodded.
Xiao Yitang paused for a moment, then sighed softly, "It's too late."
If they were to break off the engagement now, firstly, they would be in the wrong, and secondly, Shen Qinghe's situation was already precarious; the best outcome for her remaining life would probably be to remain in a nunnery.
Seeing that she was no longer of any use, Shen Jiming naturally showed her no more pity.
To save face, they even secretly executed her.
Weighing the pros and cons, marrying Wen Zhixuan turned out to be her best way out.
The wedding went so smoothly that Shen Qinghe almost thought she was dreaming, until Wen Zhixuan stood in front of her with a handsome little boy by her hand.
"Yi Cheng, call her Mother."
Wen Yicheng, still somewhat bewildered, obediently called out "Mother".
Shen Qinghe burst into tears in an instant.
She slowly squatted down, her hands trembling as she reached out, wanting to hug Wen Yicheng.
Wen Yicheng was so frightened that he hid behind his father.
Shen Qinghe froze.
Wen Zhixuan comforted him, "He's a little shy since it's the first time he's met you. You and your son will get to know each other better as you spend more time together, and he'll like you."
Shen Qinghe saw her son's little head peeking out, his big eyes full of curiosity.
Suddenly, I felt relieved.
Yes, blood is thicker than water, how could her son not recognize her?
She has the time and the patience.
