Unbeknownst to him, Hongzhou had been in the study for quite some time, staring motionlessly at the crumpled letter on the floor.
Just after dusk, Wu Kuzha sent someone to the study to invite Hongzhou to Rongyi Courtyard to have dinner with his mother-in-law, Geng.
The servant, who had been standing outside the door for a long time, saw that Hongzhou had not come out yet and knew that he could not keep Wukuzha Shi waiting for too long. So he knocked on the door of the study and said cautiously to the absent-minded Hongzhou, "Your Highness, the Fujin has sent someone to invite you to Rongyi Courtyard for a meal."
"I understand. Let's go." Dao Hongzhou slowly got up, first picked up the letter that had been thrown on the ground, put it away, and then followed the servant out of the study.
Although he had been pondering alone in his study for a long time, Hongzhou's mood was still not calm. He looked worried and his brows remained furrowed all the way.
At this moment, while Hongzhou was on his way to Rongyi Courtyard, Wukuzha arrived early. Since Hongzhou had not yet arrived, Wukuzha was chatting with Geng.
Because of the death of her eldest son, Wu Kuzha's face was always filled with sorrow. If it weren't for Yongshuo's company, Wu Kuzha would probably have become even thinner.
Although this matter has been over for a long time, Wu Kuzha's body has been damaged by grief. Looking at Wu Kuzha's somewhat weak face, Geng said, "You must take good care of your health and give Hongzhou another child."
Hearing Geng's words, Wu Kuzha felt a slight pang in her heart, sighed softly, and looked at Geng sitting in front of her, preparing to speak.
However, before Wu Kuzha could speak, Hong Zhou, who had just entered the room, felt even more irritated upon hearing Geng's words, and immediately said, "Wu Kuzha is not in good health, she should rest for a few more years before..."
Then, Hongzhou walked over and sat down next to Wukuzha, gently patted Wukuzha's hand, nodded slightly to Wukuzha, and gave her a look.
Wu Kuzha knew that Hongzhou was comforting her. Originally very sad, Wu Kuzha was deeply moved to see Hongzhou protecting her like this.
However, unlike Wu Kuzha's feelings of being moved, Hong Zhou was quite unhappy to see that she was standing on Wu Kuzha's side. Originally, she was only thinking about the offspring of the Prince's Mansion, but Hong Zhou could not understand her intentions.
Now, not only did Hongzhou not help her, but he also spoke up for Wu Kuzha. Geng's dissatisfaction grew even more, and she said angrily, "You have few children, only Yongshuo now. You don't go to the princess that the emperor bestowed upon you, so your offspring will definitely not prosper."
Looking at Hongzhou's indifferent expression, Madam Geng continued, "Look at the Prince Bao's mansion. A few days ago, they brought in three more princesses, but all you do is go to the Fujin's room. Now that the Fujin's health is not getting better, when will the family line be prosperous?"
Upon hearing Geng's words, Hongzhou couldn't help but recall the unsigned letter, and then said, "I'm not the Crown Prince, so it doesn't matter how many children I have."
Upon hearing Hongzhou's words, Wu Kuzha, who was sitting beside him, and Geng, who was sitting in front, were both taken aback, because Hongzhou had never spoken to Geng like this before. Geng was stunned on the surface, but was very surprised in her heart.
Seeing the scene, Wu Kuzha, who was sitting to the side, quickly tugged at Hongzhou's sleeve and then looked at Geng and said, "I understand. I will take good care of myself and give the prince another son."
