Chapter 380 The First Wife Given Away by Her Husband (18)
"I can't hug you anymore, my belly is too big, it will be tiring."
Pang Xuan'er smiled brightly, "My younger brother is closer to me."
Ning Yan chuckled lightly, "Because you two spend a lot of time together and you're good to him, it's natural that he's closer to you."
At noon, the King of Yue returned to his residence, carrying a small rocking horse that he had recently commissioned the Ministry of Works to make for his son. He was very happy to see his daughter return. "Jin Sheng is here. Didn't he come with you today?"
"He's been held back by his cousin. I reckon he'll be getting a concubine soon."
The young lady, who was eagerly offered herself up, was also very much liked by the Lady of the Marquis, so she might just stay and never leave.
Ning Yan could see clearly that she truly didn't care anymore.
That makes sense, though. She and Jin Shenglai had only met a few times before they got married, and even after the marriage, it only lasted three months before her mother-in-law forced a woman into their relationship, bringing her back to reality.
She is wealthy and powerful; as long as she doesn't care about men, she can live a good life.
The King of Yue's face darkened. His only daughter, whose child hadn't even been born yet, was being bullied to the point that she didn't even want to stay at home anymore. It seemed that the Marquis of Nan'an's position was too secure.
"Send someone back to the Marquis of Nan'an's residence to inform them that the Princess misses you and wants you to stay at the residence for a few days."
Pang Xuan'er smiled happily, "I will listen to Father."
From that day on, Pang Xuan'er settled down and lived in her own home.
She thought Jin Shenglai would definitely come to her residence to pick her up, but unexpectedly, she stayed for five days and didn't see that guy at all.
However, something not too big or too small happened at the Marquis's residence.
The Marquis took his wife's niece as a concubine, and she was even a high-ranking concubine!
It is said that the Marquis's wife scratched the Marquis's face all over, and the couple fought quite fiercely. Jin Shenglai was accidentally injured while trying to break up the fight and broke his arm.
Upon hearing this, Pang Xuan'er immediately packed her things and returned to the manor. "Your Highness, I'll go back to the manor first and see what's going on. I'll come back and tell you about it after I've found out more about it. Oh dear, what a pity! I should have gone back to the manor earlier. I missed the excitement."
Ning Yan looked at her with a smile in her eyes, "Okay, then I'll be waiting."
Silly girl, if you go home early, how will your father get revenge for you?
The current emperor is wise, but he is not easily fooled. Spy agents have been stationed in every residence. When the Prince of Yue learned that someone was coveting his daughter's husband, he ordered the spies in the Marquis of Nan'an's residence to take action.
He also specially arranged for his bodyguards to cooperate with the spies, making it extremely easy to drug the two of them and get them together.
Since you're willing to be a concubine, being a concubine to the heir apparent is not as good as being a concubine to the marquis.
King Yue was doing this for the sake of that young lady.
"Luckily, I didn't resist when that man surnamed Mao wanted to divorce me, otherwise, wouldn't the prince have also tried to deal with me?"
The King of Yue held the man in his arms, neither denying nor admitting it. “I was very surprised when he came. I had only met you once before. At that time, you were another man’s wife, and I was a man of pure heart and few desires. How could I have such thoughts?”
However, at the time, I thought that Heaven cherishes life, and that a man would give away his wife to someone else in order to achieve his goal, which at least showed that he didn't care about you.
I agreed, which can be considered as saving you from your misery.
I never expected you to give me such a prescription. I went to see you that night, but I was deeply attracted to you, and I don't even know why.
Can feelings develop so quickly?
He was really confused at the time, but later he realized that there was no need to think so much. If he liked someone, he should just live his life well.
Later, without her consent, he arranged for his elder brother to bestow a marriage upon her and bring her into his household. In truth, he did use underhanded methods.
He wronged her once, so he will treat her well for the rest of his life.
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "Your Highness, have you ever regretted following me?"
Ning Yan was slightly taken aback, then shook her head, "No. In this world, no one has ever treated me better than the Prince. I am very happy."
The King of Yue was satisfied and pulled her into his arms, kissing her passionately. "I am very happy too."
The two were being all lovey-dovey when the little boy started crying loudly. Ning Yan quickly broke free from the man's arms, and sure enough, the wet nurse brought the child in a moment later. "Your Highness, the young prince is looking for his mother."
The wet nurses were at their wits' end. They dared not disturb the prince and princess when they were together, but the young prince would cry and cry if he couldn't see his mother after waking up. They were also very desperate.
The King of Yue rose in displeasure. "You brat! How can a man be so clingy to his mother?"
Ning Yan quickly walked to the wet nurse and took the child from her, not forgetting to glare at her husband, "How old is he? He can't even understand what she's saying, yet you're already scolding him."
The little dumpling stopped crying immediately when it was in its mother's arms, and even smacked its lips twice.
The King of Yue quickly took the child from him; the little rascal was too heavy for his mother to carry.
"You may leave now."
After dismissing the servants, the King of Yue held his son and teased him, saying, "In two more years, this brat will be able to run and jump and won't stay quietly in my arms anymore."
Ning Yan picked up the scripture and started reading, but soon became drowsy.
The King of Yue simply placed his son on the bed in the inner room, and then carried his queen to the bed as well. Before letting go, he didn't forget to take the book from Ning Yan's hand.
He's starting to get a little scared. If the princess keeps chanting scriptures and praying to Buddha like this, she might actually become a nun one day.
After putting the books away, King Yue quietly took off his shoes and got into bed, embracing his son and his wife at the same time, feeling quite pleased with himself.
...
When Pang Xuan'er returned to the Marquis's residence, she witnessed a truly hilarious scene. The Marquis's wife had been slapped so badly that her face was swollen and she was too ashamed to show her face in public. The Marquis's wife had scratched his face until it was covered in blood, and he was also too ashamed to show his face in public.
Jin Shenglai's eyes filled with tears the moment he saw her. He had never been injured in his life, and he never imagined that one day he would break an arm while trying to stop his parents from fighting.
And that cousin of hers, she's so shameless. Because the Marquis likes her, she even went to Pang Xuan'er to show off. Pang Xuan'er happily invited her in and even let her see her good cousin. To be honest, she even wanted him to serve Jin Sheng.
Unfortunately, the two had only been talking for a short while when the Marquis sent someone to find them.
She's already her uncle's woman, yet she doesn't know how to avoid suspicion from her cousin. I don't know what's wrong with her head.
After that, the Marquis of Nan'an's mansion became quite lively, with all of the Marquis's concubines fighting each other, giving Pang Xuan'er plenty of gossip to enjoy every day.
As she was eating, the day of her delivery arrived. When the pain intensified, she sent a message to the Prince's residence, and Ning Yan rushed over to the delivery room to be with her during childbirth.
Pang Xuan'er's childbirth was not as quick as Ning Yan's. It took her a whole day of pain to give birth. As she gave birth, she kept telling herself that she would never have another child.
As Ning Yan said, she did indeed give birth to a big, healthy baby boy, and Jin Shenglai's injuries also healed. He held his big, healthy son and kissed him endlessly.
Ning Yan thought to herself, "Go ahead and kiss me, my appearance has changed. You'll only have this one son in your life."
