Chapter 30 Give birth to another one

Shen Yuan thought she was quite thick-skinned. From childhood to adulthood, she accepted all the compliments and turned a deaf ear to all the criticisms.

Dad always used to say that her heart was bigger than anything else.

This is how life should be lived to be happy.

After returning home, Shen Yuanru took a hot bath as her sister-in-law had asked, and then went to bed to rest. Unexpectedly, when she woke up, it was already dusk. After getting up and washing up, it was already time for dinner.

I had dinner with my sister-in-law. We drank a bowl of fish head soup and ate roasted lamb. If I felt sick, I took a few big bites of vegetables to relieve the pain. After the meal, my stomach was full again.

When the moon was rising, she would stroll slowly in the yard to digest the food, then stroll to her father's study to "play naughty games", watch her father puffing and glaring, and then run to her own yard to sleep.

This kind of life is really...

…

"That's great... Ah-chu——"

Hearing Shen Yuan sneeze, Qing Dai said nervously:

"Are you feeling cold, girl? You should go inside.

Fuling, make a bowl of ginger soup for the girl."

Before Shen Yuan could say anything, Fuling had already gone to the small kitchen, and Qingdai wrapped her in a cloak.

"I don't feel cool. It's so hot today. How can I feel cool? Maybe someone is talking about me behind my back."

"Where did you hear this nonsense, young lady? Although the weather is warm now, it is still very cold at night. It is more likely to catch a cold at this time. Don't worry, young lady, Fuling will add sugar to the ginger soup."

Qingdai thought her daughter was being rude because she didn't want to drink the ginger soup.

But Shen Yuan wasn't talking nonsense this time, there really were people talking behind his back.

As soon as Xie Hui got home, he heard from the servants that his father and mother were waiting for him in the main house to have dinner together in the evening, and they told him to come over when he got home.

This was new, for the family used to eat together, but never before had anyone waited for him to come back.

"Father, Mother, I'm back."

Princess Kang Le and her husband Xie Yuan looked at each other and said, "I'll be back soon. Come and sit down."

Both of them had smiles on their faces.

"You are really something. Why didn't you tell your family about such a big thing?"

Xie Hui looked helpless, "Father, Mother, I don't know what important thing you want to say."

"Are you playing dumb? We are a family, there is nothing to be embarrassed about."

Xie Hui sighed, it seemed that he had to make things clear today.

"If you are talking about the little girl from the Shen family, then I want to tell you, don't think about it, there is nothing."

"You're eating at a restaurant with someone when there's nothing going on? And you're even looking at each other affectionately."

After hearing what his father said, Xie Hui took a deep breath. What should he do? He really wanted to beat Zhou Zhongan up. Who knew how much this guy had exaggerated the story.

Xie Hui knew that he had to explain it clearly this time, otherwise the matter would not be over. It didn't matter within their own family, but it would be best not to involve Shen Yuan in this matter.

"We didn't have dinner together, we just ran into each other by chance. Her father is Shen Shaoqing. I had just entered the Dali Temple and he took good care of me. I just said hello when I saw him.

The most important thing is, father, mother, the little girl is not yet of marriageable age, she is still a little girl, it is not appropriate to say such a thing, even in our family."

After saying this, the princess and Xie Yuan understood that they were indeed overthinking it.

They had originally agreed not to mention the matter again, but when the family of three was having dinner, Xie Hui's mother couldn't help but sigh.

After sighing, she was afraid that her son might misunderstand her, so she quickly said, "Ahem, I'm not yelling at you."

"But the girl's appearance is really what I like. She has a round face and big eyes. When she bends her eyes, they look like a crescent moon. When she eats, she looks like a little rabbit. I wanted to have another daughter. This is the kind of daughter I want in my mind."

Xie Hui didn't buy it at all. Don't think he didn't know. His grandmother had told him that he was one too many for his parents, and that their talk of wanting a daughter was all fake...

"You and father are still young, so it's okay to have another child. I would be happy if you had a younger sister."

"Thank you! I think you really want to piss me off."

"I'm serious." Xie Hui finished the last mouthful of soup in the bowl, stood up and said to his parents: "Instead of coveting other people's girls, it's better to have one yourself."

After saying that, he left quickly, before his mother got angry...

What the princess said was not entirely false. Not wanting to have another child does not mean not wanting to have one child.

Xie recalled that before the baby was born, she had imagined that it would be a daughter, and that the mother and daughter could wear the same clothes and she could even comb her daughter's hair.

After Xie Hui was born, before he could understand things, she did secretly indulge herself by braiding his hair and making him wear a skirt.

"Alas, children are better when they are young. They are not cute anymore when they grow up."

"Don't be angry, I'll beat him up later to vent your anger."

Xie Yuan's words immediately caused Princess Kang Le to roll her eyes, "You still want to beat him up? Forget it, you've never beaten someone up before."

Neither of them are strict parents, but their son has been very sensible since he was a child, and they often feel that what they do as parents is not very fulfilling.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Let them be. We still have our good times."

…

After watching the Cuju game, Shen Yuan's life returned to normal. She spent half of her day learning accounting and housekeeping from her sister-in-law, and the other half going back to her room to think about the script she wanted to write.

I have been learning abacus for nearly half a month. Without mentioning other achievements, at least I can use the abacus very well.

Anyway, her father didn't have any big expectations of her, so she went to study with a playful attitude. After a period of time, she gained a lot.

As for the storybook, she has some ready-made stuff to write.

The names of the people are hidden, and as for the time, of course, we can write about what happened in a certain year and month of the previous dynasty.

Shen Yuan specifically asked about this in the bookstore that day. The bookstore would not reveal the identity of the author to outsiders, just like the most popular legends and vernacular novels in the capital city today, no one knows who the author is. Therefore, Shen Yuan was not afraid of people knowing who he was.

As for whether people who read the storybook would have some associations, sorry, that is not within her consideration.

That day, Shen Yuan was writing furiously at his desk when Qingdai came back from outside and brought in a note.

"Miss, this is a letter sent by someone from the Princess's Mansion."

"Princess's Mansion?" Shen Yuan stopped writing, reached out to take the note and opened it. It said that Princess Kangle would hold a flower-viewing banquet at her villa in three days and invited her to attend.

"It was sent by the servants of the Princess's Mansion. The one for the young lady has already been sent."

Shen Yuan closed the post and put it aside. Could it be that the princess remembered her the last time she saw her?
