"No, no. Sister-in-law, don't think too much. I'm out of the shop now, there's really no rush to have a baby." Chen Heng quickly got up and left.
However, this journey also made her think seriously about having a baby. Since she was going to spend her life with Xie Jian, it would be better to have a baby earlier so that her body could recover faster, and at best she could give birth to a boy.
It's not that she favors boys over girls. If a girl doesn't have a strong family to protect her, it will be difficult for her to survive, and sometimes she has to make various compromises. She doesn't want her daughter to be treated like this.
If she really wants to give birth to a daughter, she must work harder.
But before she could do anything, Xie Jian was promoted to become the Minister of the Secretariat.
It is only the end of March now. Mr. Shi took office in January and stepped down in less than three months.
It was Madam Shi who told her this news. When Madam Shi came over with some gifts, Shen Heng was a little surprised. Why didn't she bring a visiting card? Everyone likes to follow the procedures.
"Now we are being transferred to a small county town, all thanks to Zixuan. Otherwise, my husband would have lost his official uniform." Madam Shi held Shen Heng's hands, her gratitude beyond words.
"Madam Shi, what on earth is going on?" Shen Heng was completely confused.
"Zixuan hasn't told you yet? This man of mine has a good relationship with his colleagues, but he always thinks it's someone else's fault. So when he was the Minister, I was worried that I would be targeted, and he has the personality to fight until he is bloody." Mrs. Shi told them everything that had happened recently.
Only then did Chen Heng understand that in order to compete for the position of Minister, these colleagues had made all kinds of calculations and reports, and in the end, Xie Jian, the newcomer, got the upper hand.
"Zixuan didn't kick someone when they were down. Instead, he told the Zhongshu Ling, Lord Gong, about the achievements of everyone. The merits and demerits were offset, and the matter was finally settled." In the end, no one was imprisoned. To be honest, some of her husband's achievements were unknown even to her, his wife. Madam Shi sighed that this young man would achieve great things in the future: "Madam Shen, you are a blessed person."
Chen Heng smiled faintly: "I don't know when you and your wife will leave, the Prime Minister and I will see you off."
"No. We'll leave as soon as the city gate opens tomorrow. We're from a small place. I haven't been used to living in the imperial capital for a few years, but now I feel at ease." Madam Shi said sincerely.
She and her husband tried hard to integrate into the upper class, but it was not so easy. Those nobles born into wealthy families were superior to them from birth and thought differently.
"Then I wish you and your wife a safe journey." Shen Heng said.
Watching the carriage leave, Chen Heng thought about the matter again. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Xie Jian must have been involved. At the same time, she felt that he was just a small official and should not have the ability to do this.
That night, Xie Jian came back quite late.
Seeing his wife asleep on the table with a book in her hand, Xie Jian looked at her with a smile for a while before picking her up.
Chen Heng was waiting for someone. She was not sleeping soundly and woke up as soon as she moved: "Xiang Xiao, you are back?" Then she found that he was holding her: "Put me down quickly, I am so tired." She didn't look fat, but she knew how much she weighed.
"My wife is not sick at all." Xie Jian even spun her around twice before putting her on the bed.
I didn't realize Xie Jian was quite strong. Shen Heng recalled that there were one or two times when she fell asleep leaning on the table and woke up in bed. She thought she had drifted back to bed. So, was he the one who carried her?
Well, it’s better to be able to hold it than to carry it.
