"The eldest son is back, the eldest son is back."

The sounds coming from outside the door suddenly woke Yurong up from her sleep. She couldn't help but sit up. The candlestick came closer and closer, and she saw Wei Xuanning in a blue shirt through the light.

Wei Xuanning saw the frightened look on her face and thought she was dreaming again, so he immediately hugged her and patted her on the back: "Don't be afraid now that your husband is back."

Seeing that he was coaxing her like a child, Yurong couldn't help feeling very warm and didn't want to leave his arms even more.

"Why did you come back? Didn't I hear that you wouldn't come back?" she asked curiously, not knowing why Wei Xuanning came back.

Wei Xuanning continued to pat her back, "I heard that you were going to the Chang family tomorrow, and I was a little worried."

Huh?

Is it because of this matter?

She choked up a little and hugged him tighter. "Just sit for a while tomorrow and come back. Why do you have to do this?"

Then Wei Xuanning chuckled: "That won't work. What if you are pregnant?" As he said this, he gently stroked Yurong's belly, and Yurong was startled.

Even though she usually prided herself on her intelligence, she never thought that he even knew this.

Having a child is of course the fastest way to settle down, otherwise, Wei Xuanning will have to give away others around her. With Madam Wei's doting on her grandson, the second house may have a good family background. Although Yurong is good at intrigue, it does not mean that she likes her. She even has a possessiveness towards Wei Xuanning that she herself finds unfamiliar.

In the past, Wei Xuanning had several women and she had no control over them, but in the future, he would be her husband and he had to observe the moral ethics of a man.

"I wanted to have a child for you, but I didn't tell you. How did you know?" This was exactly what she had in mind, and even Bitao and Lamei, who served her closely, didn't know about it.

Wei Xuanning said proudly: "Why else would you pester me like that? You were very restrained before. I know you are a smart person. Our family is small and the elders have put a lot of pressure on you. This is normal."

He was almost overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of those days.

Yurong shook her head, "That's not my reason. I was thinking that you and I are both often praised for our good looks, but I always want to know what our child will be like. What will he look like? Who will he look like? Will you be a good father? And will I be a good mother?"

The more she talked, the more she yearned for it. But Wei Xuanning broke her fantasy, "The baby will be ugly when it is born, like a little monkey, red and wrinkled, and good bamboo can produce bad bamboo shoots. So, there is nothing good about it, and you don't have to force it."

Yurong was generous enough to break her beautiful idea. If someone else had said something praising the child, she would have said, "Oh, and there are those prodigal sons. If you have eight or ten children, and they all go against you and ruin your achievements, that would be a real problem. Forget it. I won't have any more children for the time being."

These two people are the ones who care most about the overall situation, and they are also the ones who are willful.

Wei Xuanning also spoke freely to her, as if everyone has a dark side that needs to be let out occasionally without having to consider too many responsibilities. Yurong happened to be the same person.

Rules and etiquette are external constraints, while people's hearts should be free.

As luck would have it, the two of them had too many things in common. Yurong lay down and said to Wei Xuanning, "The Zhang family's affairs are not what you think. Zhang Lingyi only met me once. It was not him who took a fancy to me, but his mother. The reason for taking a fancy to me was also very dirty. His father had met me once. Zhang Xiang was a playboy. Madam Zhang was afraid that something bad would happen, so she let Zhang Lingyi get engaged to me to stop Zhang Xiang. But the Zhang family didn't actually plan to marry me. If it weren't for the Zhang family's trouble, perhaps I would have been like a floating duckweed all my life."

"But I don't believe in fate. You always say that I'm so smart, it's easy for me to enter the King of Jiangxia's backyard. It's indeed easy, men are so lustful, but I don't want to. That day when King Han appointed the crown prince, he knew what I looked like."

Yurong looked at Wei Xuanning and spoke what was in her heart.

Wei Xuanning finally understood. No wonder King Jiangxia looked at him as if he were a love rival that day.

This confession was probably made because she was relieved to see him rushing back at night. Wei Xuanning was also very grateful for her frankness. "In fact, I know the Zhang family's purpose from the beginning. They say that beauty brings disaster, which is mostly used to describe women, but you and I are the same. Outsiders say that I am heartless, I have let down the daughter of the Gao family, and I have also taken advantage of Princess Xin'an's misfortune."

Although the situation of men was better than that of women, many people only dared to say that Yurong was fickle, but the people who wanted to correct the situation in the court also criticized Wei Xuanning's marriage.

They all said that he was an unfaithful man, and that Yang Yurong was a heartless woman. They married and committed adultery, and would surely end up in a miserable state in the future.

Yurong was not in the court, so she naturally didn't know this. That was why Wei Xuanning suddenly felt rebellious that day. Even if it rained heavily during the wedding, he couldn't miss the auspicious time.

It turns out that Wei Xuanning also has troubles. Yurong hugged him tightly and said, "Husband, then we must live our lives well and slap these people in the face in the future, how about that?"

"Of course." Wei Xuanning held her and fell asleep.

"Let's start by going to Chang's house tomorrow." Yurong said.

"Um."

**

Madam Chang once led troops to the battlefield in person. She was called Old Lady Chang. This old lady was not a noble lady, but a very powerful warrior. With her around, the Xiongnu dared not act rashly. Even the current emperor called Old Lady Chang the pillar of Daqi.

Today is her birthday celebration, so naturally there are a lot of people coming.

"Madam, the eldest son and grandmother of the Wei family are here."

Old Madam Chang was greeting the guests when she heard someone come to report that Wei Xuanning was coming with his new bride. She was stunned for a moment. Isn't it the custom nowadays that men go to meet men in front and women are brought here?

How come a couple came together?

Although Old Lady Chang scoffs at the current strict separation between men and women, this is the way the world is.

As one of the most prominent families in Jingzhao, the Wei family should not be ignorant of the rules.

But she was well-informed and showed no signs of shock. "Let Xuan Ning and his wife come in."

Anyway, she was already in her sixties or seventies, and the rules of separation between men and women were useless to an old woman like her. However, Chang Shunhua said shyly, "Grandma... my granddaughter will be seen by others."

When Old Lady Chang saw that her granddaughter had a face full of fat but acted so timidly, she felt a chill and pretended not to hear anything.

A pair of people soon appeared at the door. The man was wearing black clothes with a white jade sticking in his hair, while the woman was wearing green clothes. They were a perfect couple.

Wei Xuanning smiled as he led Yurong into the house. As they walked, they couldn't help but look at each other several times, their eyes so sweet that it was hard to melt away.

Old Lady Chang couldn't help but think, "Don't you know I'm a widow? Why do I have to endure this?"
